Splinter Cell Conviction


Chimera

Recommended Posts

I got it Tuesday and have played a good bit of it. It is way different than previous SC games...I'm not so sure it's for the better or not. It can get a bit frustrating at times and the stealth part of it seems to have been really toned down. It's a good game but I am a bit disappointed...probably because it's so different from what I expected.

Yep, the stealth has definitely been toned down to cater to the masses. I enjoyed the first games because of the cerebral aspect. I made it all the way through Chaos Theory only killing who I was required to kill. I think I might have knocked out like 3 people. I snuck by everyone else.

Its still a good game - it shouldn't be called Splinter Cell, though. Maybe Splinter Gear Solid?

I love the game, too. I definitely sneak around the shadows. But I think you're forced into more killing, stealth kills or otherwise, than previous SC games. For example, the challenges encourages you to kill multiple enemies at once, - great for Halo, but for Splinter Cell? I loved the slow, methodical gameplay of the previous titles.

I'm not knocking this game at all - it is a great game. It just doesn't feel like Splinter Cell.

I hear ya. But I don't think it's supposed to be like "Splinter Cell".

Sam is rogue now. He is working for himself. Things have changed.

I dunno. It's fun.

Definitely a rent title, I heard the campaign is like 5 hours.

There are also co-op and multiplayer. I haven't tried them yet but if they are any good, it could be worth a buy.

    • This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.
    • Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
