You knew what you were getting, why are you complaining now?

It's obviously a rental at best, if you had done your research you would have known that :?

Have you really played the game? This whole thread sounds like an excuse to bash it without any basis.

I think that, like with many other games, it got a bit more attention than it deserved due to being recognized as some kinda exclusive(even if it isn't).

Im playing through it now, and its actually really fun so far... not sure why all the hate, unless you were a SC fan prior to this game, which i was NOT. I think old fans hate the new game, and new players like it.

I liked the game. The plot was weak-sauce (kind of a MW2 level rip-off). But better than I thought it would be.

I think it's pretty good. It's a bit faster paced than previous Splinter Cells, but I like the story and TO ME, the difficulty is just right. I know some people think it's too easy, (some of you are machines) but I think it perfectly matches my frustration level and still is interesting enough to continue playing. And to the people who are claiming it isn't a stealth game, you are full of it. It DOES suck that you can no longer hide bodies, but if you plan your kills right you won't need to. But I don't know how anyone can come back from playing SC:C thinking it isn't stealthy enough. I think it's a good effort.

All in all, welcome back Sam Fisher.

When there are a lot of changes made to a long running series someone is bound to come out unhappy. Obviously some like the game and other don't - big shocker- like with every game.

with games like Conviction you have to go in open minded without pre-conceived conceptions of whether or not you will like it, and play the game for what it is, not what you want it to be.

if you still dislike a game after going in with this approach, thats fine, your entitled to your opinion, but if you decide you hate the game before you start playing, which some people do, you have no right to bash it because you were probably trying really hard to find things you didn't like about the game instead of focusing on the good parts, which unless you are a game critic you should always do.

The game is fantastic. I dont know how any gamer cant be enjoying this game, the Co-op is great and so is the SP. The challenges give the game excellent replay value as well.

I had really high expectation, it looked fantastic. Look how good RDR looks right now and imagine if when it came out you couldn't be bothered to finish the 1st level.

It's not the best Splinter Cell game, but it's a great game none-the-less. Co-op is awesome fun.

[QUOTE="johnryandaplin"]

[QUOTE="Clank-PS-Snake"] You sound like a 10 year old and if I like MGS I'm more likely to like SC because I like stealth games (even though the last two releases from each series have been mainly action). Just because I like one series doesn't mean I hate its competitor. Yea and I know MGS Rising is on Xbox, the way you pointed it out was almost retarded. Anyway if people don't believe I have the game I don't care, I actually thought this game looked amazing, I'm still on the Malta Mansion level and can't even be bothered to play it anymore, does it get any better?.Clank-PS-Snake

now to start off let me just say that you must ALWAYS make a point on your aguments not just write "OMG conviction sucks LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL"

you must state the reason why it sucks, and secondly, a dissapointment?

what?

9.3 on ign is a dissapointment?

ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

you suck dude, you played the first mission of the game which literrally lasts up to 10 minutes and you dictate that the entire game is terrible without even playing co op?

ahahahahahaha

you sir are an idiot

You're the idiot with your silly ahahhaha lawlz every 5 minutes stop acting like such a kid you just come of as a complete spaz. What I find dissapointing is that: I have to kill people in this game to get past them. The screen is black and white 70% of the time. The A.I is stupid I just dropped down from a pipe and killed someone and two guards staring right at me did nothing. The game feels automated with me just pressing A to move around the whole time. Above all the game's boring and doesn't feel like Splinter Cell. I love how you quoted 9.3 on IGN and chose to ignore Gamespot's score because it's worse. Did you honestly expect this game to score 8.0 when you first saw it?, no so it is a dissapointment for me anyway. Don't you think you're a bit silly when you call me an idiot just because I was dissapointed with a game I was hyped for. Grow up you pathetic fanboy.

bull effing crap

you literally cannot insult SC's conviction and yet not mention metal gear's ,

i mean MGS has one of the stupidest AI in a stealth game i've ever seen, i mean, i was literrally standing 8 metres across the room and the AI couldn't see me even though it was daylight and you could plainly see snakes white hair, pressing A to move what?. you dont press A to move, you use the analog stick

HAVE YOU EVEN PLAYED THE GAME?

your obviously a fanboy who couldn't stand the fact that the next MGS is coming to xbox

and what the hell did you mean that the guards just stood there for nothing?

you're LYING

seriously dude

if you're gonna bash a game make sure you played it first

liar.
