>Blacklist is gay but not that bad.

ubishill pls leave

>>14690353

I mean, it's too easy, it has a shitty voice actor, it has none of the artistic vision of the first three games, but some of those maps are alright.

>>14690303

>What's your favorite SC game?

Is there any other option?

>Blacklist is gay but not that bad

Yeah you can fuck off. SC stopped being good after OG xbox Double Agent.

>>14690353

>>14690398

Anon never satisfied no matter what. It's not like anyone tells you to go buy it.

I've only played Splinter Cell and Chaos Theory. Is there anything else worth playing besides Pandora Tomorrow?

>>14690447

XBAWX/PS2/GC version of Double Agent if you can.

>>14690501

I thought Conviction was a solid Jason Bourne or even a Jack Bauer game, just not a Splinter Cell game.

>>14690788

With a different title and different characters, yeah, Conviction would have passed as a generic action spy game. It's a really shitty stealth game though.

I like the first SC better than CT.

Sam Fisher looks like a malnourished ghost in CT.

Having a knife is gay. he did just fine knocking people out with his elbow.

>b-but muh sound meter!

You don't need a fucking sound meter, look at Thief.

Sound is even more integral in that game and it doesn't have a sound meter.

The plot was also more interesting in SC, and holy fuck infiltrating the CIA headquarters was the best shit ever.

>>14690974

SC has shit level design, it's clear they didn't know what to do with the concept yet. They figured the mechanics well but not the level design, which is turgid. CT was an incredible improvement (I don't mention PT because it was made by a different studio) in that sense

>>14690303

Ubisoft will probably announce a new SC game and it will have a bit to many MGS references & easter eggs. Because why the hell would you re-hire an actor like Ironside and parade him like that?

Is not like they're seriously expecting SC fans to buy Wildlands. But my fear is that the new SC game falls victim to modern Ubisoft sensibilities.

>>14690974

OG SC had shit level design and too many forced action segments and while it set a benchmark in the stealth genre it was outdone by PT, CT and DA in pretty much every regard.

If they can make an honest sequel to Chaos Theory (and the original Xbox release of Double Agent) then I will actually buy it.

It's been said so fucking much, but Chaos Theory is one of, if not the, best stealth game ever made.

The atmosphere is perfect, the lightning is on point, the sound system is great, and the story/writing isn't over-the-top action movie bullshit.

AI could use work, but that's something that'll be hard to get 100% right.

>>14691233

it's impossible to make a game like CT anymore if you want to sell millions, which is Ubi's objective. Too slow paced. Also stealth games now need to be balanced with action playstyles in mind now too so the cashuls don't have a heart attack, and that means less time and resources to polish the stealth gameplay. All we're gonna get now are all-around games like MGS V or Blacklist and the problem is that companies think we should be thankful of it because the genre is near dead and we don't get pure stealth games anymore (minus Styx)

>>14691275

Deep down I know this, but maybe one day a AAA dev will learn there is a niche market that'll stay loyal to a certain type of product.

Maybe a competent indie dev will make a clone of good Splinter Cell games down the line.

I watched some gameplay of Styx.

The stealth looks great, but I'm not one for the total fantasy setting.

>>14691286

>The stealth looks great, but I'm not one for the total fantasy setting.

I know that feel, I love modern settings in stealth games. I played Thief, Dishonored, Tenchu and all those series but don't they feel as satisfying to me as a good hi-tech stealth game. Frankly, even if 2019 Splinter Cell ends up being open world, I'll be all over it because I don't have much to choose from

>>14691303

I hope they don't go open world because MGSV proved that open-world and stealth don't mix.

>>14691394

>>14691346

Yes, that's the one.

I went through my unorganized folder and found it, but was too slow. Damn.

>>14691394

>+100 Exploration

Why is that in the picture? Deus Ex did it.

>>14691394

All of their best selling titles are open world games with a mandatory shitty skill tree right now (Assassins' Creed, Ghost Recon, Far Cry). Next Splinter Cell would end up being the same. Do we really want that?

>>14691394

I have made this picture 6 days after release.

All the typos and errors are caused by my immeasurable rage that day.

5 years later I am still mad.

To no surprise there were shills defending the game and all the gifs showing its glaring flaws I have used as ammo were damage controlled hard.

>>14691222

>Is not like they're seriously expecting SC fans to buy Wildlands. But my fear is that the new SC game falls victim to modern Ubisoft sensibilities.

The new Sam Fisher mission in Wildlands gets introduced by your character talking at length about Sam Fisher, who he works for, and his history as an operative. He just straight up lays out everything about Fisher, even shit from his personal life, and talks about him by name. Your random fucko MC knows every detail about the life of one of the most secretive operatives in the world, and hints that others know about him too.

I have no hope for the series as long as it remains in Ubisoft's hands.

>>14691418

Any of the jap games pictured have translations?

>>14691448

The "execute" thing was in Blacklist too?

>>14691443

I played through the entirety of this, and while it obviously pales in comparison to the real Chaos Theory and has an awful framerate, it isn't that bad if you just want to simply play some Chaos Theory without being at your computer.

Chaos Theory And Double agent on the xbox was a blast to play through. i hope their next game is more in line with the older titles like it should've been.

>>14691394

[space] is unnecessary. Next Splinter Cell game will probably be a console exclusive.

>Sam asks about army dude in a bandana

>Chick respond with he's recently retired

>Solid Snake dies canonically in 2017 according to MGS4

>People think Sam's referring to Big Boss and how Konami recently fucked over MGSV

I want normalfags to leave my MGS alone REEEE.

How the fuck would Sam even know about Big Boss if Sam's operations take place roughly in the same time span Solid Snake's operations take place.

Sam and Solid Snake are the bros, not Sam and Big Boss.

Everyone always glosses over Solid Snake in favor of Big Boss.

Snake had a hard life ;_;

>>14691443

Yeah, but that's for a portable system. Objectives in the OPSAT would be weird.

>>14691755

Of course it's talking about Solid Snake, but it's dumb to think that they aren't also referring to the series as a whole.

>>14691774

I can understand how it's a bit of a commentary about the series as a whole, but I'm referring to people specifically thinking he's referring to Big Boss and not Solid Snake.

>>14691492

Same here

>>14691471

The spy fiction one looks so bland compared to the Japanese version.

>>14691376

MGSV's gameplay was fine. The issue was with the storytelling.

>>14691832

They're one and the same nigga, for the same reason you're calling him Big Boss and not Venom Snake

Which splinter cell is the best for Co-op? Splinter Cell is the only stealth game I know of with Co-op, and I dont even remember it being all that good.

>>14692365

Chaos Theory had some good co-op

>>14692365

They're all good

Shit, even conviction's co-op is the singular shining point in that pile of garbage, and also has other non-campaign co-op modes, which was apparently a focus of the game since it didn't really have any direct competitive modes

>>14691593

Blacklist is basically a Conviction expansion with goggles mod. Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on how much you liked Conviction.

>>14690303

>Blacklist is gay but not that bad.

>What is your opinion on ubisoft parading Michael Ironside on every gaming website that would have him? Is there something cooking for the next E3?

Fuck off shill.

>>14693613

>Blacklist is basically a Conviction expansion with goggles mod.

Not at all.

>>14691705

Fun fact: the original Splinter Cell was actually better on the Xbox hueg because of superior guard AI.

>>14693619

Everything bad about Blacklist can be traced back to Conviction.
