Meg, I thought you might be sleeping....what you playing? What's SC:C?

Splinter Cell: Conviction. Awesome game.


I might rent it, just a little nervous that it focus too much on action and less on stealth.


There's still plenty of stealth, don't worry. Although most of the time now if you screw up you get to go on a killing spree without worrying about reaching the 3 alarms limit, hehe.


I am a MGS fan, I don't take stealth lighty ^_^

Well I've always been a Splinter Cell fan rather than a MGS fan so I can't comment on MGS. But having played all SC games Conviction still feels like part of the series. Very different of course but it still feels like Splinter Cell at heart, to me at least.

I didn't, actually. I rented the game but did not finish it and did not rerent it. I was, for some reason, able to look at all of the cutscenes and the ending despite having only gotten to the old sniper guy boss.

i will give it a go, as long as stealth plays a huge part in the game then I am happy. I loved SC and SC2.

You missed the best boss battle in the history of gaming. The boss was epic, the ultimate sniper battle, flashy would love that boss.

The thing with the stealth this time is you have lots of opportunities to take down people silently and stuff, only this time you're rewarded for killing rather than being punished like you were in the old games most of the time. There are quite a few sections where you have to remain undetected which bring back the memories a bit.

Thats what I don't like. I loved getting disadvanatges if you killed, reason why I love MGS3. That was a pure stealth game.

I wonder if it's poseable to beat the whole game without ever killing? I did it in MGS4 with the only things I killed where the metal gears and the final boss.

I'll be honest, that won't be possible. There are a lot of times when you need to kill a bunch of people.

Looking forward to that one, Breakdown Boy.

@all:
Good morning!

Just finished reading ME:Ascension, after a first try a few weeks ago I aborted because I was getting bored by the clumsily presented exposition I already knew. It didn't get much better. Grayson had promise - I can only wonder what a more competent writer would've done with him. In Karpyshyn's hands he seemed like a patchwork character, pieced together from parts that didn't quite integrate into a believable whole. I don't think I need to repeat details about the atrocious worldbuilding - not much SF atmosphere there. It feels like a present-day scenario clumsily transferred to an SF universe.

Cerberus comes across as quite a bit more "evil" than in ME2. I've always thought they could be subtle, and they'd prefer to be as a rule, being a secret organization. This brutal direct approach to things seems unnecessarily cruel as well as risky to the point of stupidity. It's also stereotypical villain behaviour, something I don't like to associate with an organization Miranda works for. I can't help thinking she would have approached the same objectives more elegantly. On the other side, TIM wouldn't have assigned Gillian to her, knowing she'd probably have more empathy for Gillian because of her own childhood.

BTW:
What's this here? A posting frenzy after a slow but intense weekend?

I've never read Ascension, but I do know that arguing about the possible merits or justifications of Cerberus and its actions is a whole other ball game when you're talking to someone who's read Ascension. You might as well give up trying to convince them Cerberus could ever be good, ever.

It's like Ascension contains some kind of irrefutable proof. Not that I would ever try to convince someone Cerberus was good. :P

Part of the reason why Cerberus/TIM are good antagonists are because they are pretty vile yet were integral to reviving Shepard and taking down the collectors. And part of what makes some villains great are when they have good points that make you doubt yourself.
