Splinter Cell Blacklist: the king of stealth is back ?

[Silva]

The initial reviews are very good (87% at gamerankings right now), and some of them are saying this is the best since Chaos Theory.

So, is the king back ?

 

[WalmartJesus]

It looks like it will be better than Conviction ...but that's not exactly saying a whole lot.

1. splinter cell was never the king of stealth

2. no michael ironside -> guaranteed shit

Word is that Thi4f will suck, so no.

From everything I have read it's much more Conviction than Chaos Theory. Conviction + enhanced stealth seems to be the summary. Also most of those high review scores seem focused on co-op and multiplayer.

I don't pirate games usually but I'm half tempted to torrent this just to see if I like it. It certainly isn't selling me on a $60 purchase at the moment.

Edge says it sucks. Looks like they weren't given enough doritos and mountain dew.

Splinter Cell king of stealth?

Ban Silva. Or gift him a copy of Thief 1 or 2.

 

[sexbad?]

so i'm guessing none of you have seen the embarrasing gameplay they've been showcasing then

Well, Ive seen the preview videos. But, to my surprise, the reviews are all saying the stealth aspect is rather good, as is the co-op and multiplayer modes.

Oh, and Thief is overrated.

[SCO]

Ignored @Silva

 

[Silva]

Ok, assume Thief never existed.

What would be the king of stealth then ?

 

[J_C]

Metal Gear Solid.

"Second best stealth game after Thief" is actually a pretty good topic for a thread.

Did they got rid of that retarded mark and execute system? If no, it's automatic shit, you don't even need to read any Doritos review to know that.

 

[Rivmusique]

There would be no stealth

 

[dnf]

OP flashpoint got better stealth:

ALL, STEALTH.

Done. Lets keep the talk here about the awesomeness of the new SC Blacklist.

So who will be playing it ? Who wants to be my partner in the new Spy vs Mercs ? I heard its possible to have teams of 4 vs 4.

The Way of the Tiger.

Sam Fisher is master special agent so it doesn't make sense that he shoots and not kill someone. It is way more immersive this way, previous games required that player actually play the game only because the technology wasn't there yet to implement "kill everyone" button.
