It was worse than 1/2 for sure, but I still enjoyed it. Although the last chapters were awful.
And it holds up very well graphically, as a lot of 360 games do.
OK, it's working for me now. I guess I must have downloaded the update before it officially went on the store or something.
Playing it on X atm, 40 hours in & draw distance is prob a bigger issue than res - keep having big chunks of scenery fade in from mid distance on East side of map
I just got done going through the first 3 levels of Blacklist and it pains me to say that this game is "of an era" and doesn't hold up as much as i remembered lol. Which is a shame considering on this very thread i was championing it to become BC months ago. Its so damn linear with the AI having canned patterns depending on which way you go and they even set you up for some really cliche encounters (like that dog early on). Theres no room for any sort of sand-boxy AI fun, which is what the first 3 games definitely pioneered in. Its also way to easy even on Realistic. Im basically one shoting people with my run-n-knife plan of attack. And that chase sequence from the blowing up building felt very last-gen in terms of design.
I loved this game back when it came out and have all the cheevo's, but damn have we've come along way from 2013 haha.

When was the last time you played the first 3? I would never use the term sandbox to describe splinter cell. They've always been pretty linear.
The first two insanely so. There is often only one way to tackle each sequence. Chaos Theory gives the player some leeway though.
I was playing silent hill hd collection earlier. Loving it but then i discovered something. The game doesnt allow you to upload game dvr clips to xbox live. I wanted to send a mate a video but nope. Can only save and view it on my xbox.
Have you come across this on other games? Whats the reason for this? Konami??

There's a few current gen games that do the same (Marvel VS Capcom, Yakuza) and it sucks.
The AI is mainly my major issue with the game. Its very one dimensional with them either being completely off or on in terms of their patterns. If there not standing there doing nothing, there shooting like rambo. Theres never a in-between. I remember playing with the AI in the original games allot with so many different moves and gadgets that it felt very sandboxy to me (especially co-op). Blacklist feels very much inspired from the Arkham games, with you just demolishing dudes with running and a press of a button. It also doesnt help that each area feels like its own little combat arena, that the game blocks you off of with a door opening animation that prevents you from going back at all.
Blacklist is is totally fun when your doing well, im just amazed at how much a game from 2013 feels like such a product of the time compared to how games are made today in 2018. And thats really been the biggest thing with Xbox One Backwards compatibility since its launch. Its how much the industry has changed. Black and Dead to Rights are examples of how much things have changed since two generations ago. Its just crazy to me that im getting a very specific vibe from a late 360 generation game that almost feels antiquated in 2018.
I know what you mean.
Theres definitely 3 phases, though. Patrol, searching, and combat.
I still think its an amazing game. I'm playing through now, no kills on realistic. There are plenty of branching paths. The game gives you points when you find alternate routes. American consumption is the first level that starts to open up.
To me, the game is extremely fun to play as stealthily as possible and john wick style.
It's just as fun to figure out the path to ghost a room as it is to plan the most stylish and efficient way to kill everyone in the room as fast as possible.
It might be a licensing thing. If I remember correctly you could watch the entirety of To Kill a Mockingbird in-game. It's possible their license for it has expired and as such they can't sell the game unless they remove it, which is probably not worth the effort.
Just speculation on my part though.
I thought the only reason that movie (and others) were in the game was it's a public domain movie, meaning that it has no copyrights, so licensing shouldn't be an issue. Then again, maybe there's some other license issue, perhaps with that song at the end.
This and sc series are my top requests. So glad to get double agent and blacklist
+1 for MGS HD, would be great to get that today!
Are we likely to ever get Lollipop Chainsaw or Anarchy Reigns? I'd like both of those still.
Would also like Resident Evil: Code Veronica X (I think unlikely), Tony Hawk HD (no chance), and Mortal Kombat 9. Also any other digital games I bought for my 360 and have forgotten about, ha!

I don't get why Capcom doesn't let them do Code Veronica. They have showed no indication on porting the game to current gen anyhow.
But you don't know if Capcom is preventing Code Veronica from becoming BC.
I think most of them have had a native Xbox One port. Code Veronica is the main exception that comes to mind.
Because they might decide to at some point in the future, I seriously believe this is the real reason. Can't give anything for 'free'. I'm sure there are more but the only capcom titles in b/c I can think of are the dead rising spinoff games which are still exclusive to 360, so they legally probably can't port to other platforms. Hopefully ms/ Sony don't need permission for bc ever again. I think that will be the case for x1 games and forward, but it still makes me more reluctant to buy Capcom's games than say, ubisoft or ea.
tldr: Capcom sucks
Yea, that and Operation Raccoon City.
Wasn't a great game, but I still partially enjoyed it haha.
Plus I feel like the X would help with the framerate and I think it had screen tearing.
Capcom being greedy, I'm sure we'll see 4K ports of the whole RE saga again next gen and no BC. Hopefully MS and Sony have sorted license stuff, but I have my doubts with the music and car industry allowing it.
The following Xbox 360 games are now compatible on Xbox One:
-Prince of Persia (2008)
-Earth Defense Force 2025
-Sine Mora (strange, since the EX version has been on Xbox One for quite some time now)
