Splinter Cell Discussion

gameranand · 06-04-2011, 06:13 PM

I recently started playing Splinter Cell Chaos Theory(again) and damn its a damn good game in terms of stealth. Well I played conviction but didn't liked it much because of its stealth mechanics its more of a action oriented stealth game rather than pure stealth game. I mean I like to complete the whole damn mission without firing a single bullet and using complete stealth not getig detected even once in the whole mission and infact I succeed in many missions. In most missions I get a rating of more than 85% and sometimes 100%. So please share your views on this whole series.

Now this is one of the best games I have played.

Conviction is not a bad game at all. It is one helluva experience. Particularly those interrogation episodes... made me go crazy.

ithehappy · 06-04-2011, 11:12 PM

Conviction is awesome, one of the best I've played. But any game before that gave me BSOD !

gameranand · 06-04-2011, 11:33 PM

I am not saying that conviction is a bad game. All I am saying is that stealth system in that game is reduced and thats what I didn't liked just like that interrogation I liked interrogation in previous very silent type and in this game its like boom bam.

I had never really been a big Splinter Cell fan. Don't know why, but it was overtly stealthy for my liking. Remember completing Chaos Theory till mission 6 or so on my PS2, then never touched a single one of it's title. I had played Convictions demo, but never got around playing the full game.

I might try it out on the PS3 when the collection comes out, hopefully.

gameranand · 07-04-2011, 08:41 AM

^^ LOL. you will like this game if you can wait at one place for 1 or 2 mins doing nothing just watching the move of the foe or you'll not like it at all because stealth is not action so you gotta wait for enemy's move and have to act accordingly.

Ethan_Hunt · 07-04-2011, 08:54 AM

The only stealth game I have really enjoyed is the Hitman series. It had style and a very unique way to approach each mission and take someone out. I didn't feel that in Splinter Cell. It's also one of the reason, why I have been dodging MGS4 on the PS3 (Dinjo, I promise I will try it someday

). Going full on stealth isn't really my forte, but like I said, I might give it a shot again.

gameranand · 07-04-2011, 09:02 AM

Hitman ans Splinter are completely different IMO because you can just go for a action oriented gameplay in Hitman but in Splinter cell if you go that way the fun is gone for good. Hitman is more of a action oriented with some awesome stealth mechanics its based on "Seen but not Seen" while spliter cell is "Go completely silent".

axes2t2 · 07-04-2011, 07:55 PM

Only played Conviction in the Splinter Cell series

Liked it though.

gameranand · 07-04-2011, 08:21 PM

^^
The you must try Chaos Theory. The best game in the whole series.

RIP Dinj0

Conviction was awesome game viewing from a Third Person Shooter angle.

Yeah thats what I am saying. Its good as TPS with some stealth mechanics but the heart of this game has been taken away which was complete stealth. I mean I usually complete the whole damn mission and nobody know that I was there that is the way I wanted this game to be which it isn't.

gameranand · 10-04-2011, 09:32 PM

These are my scores for First Mission
The objectives

My score of 1st mission

**vamsi_krishna** · 10-04-2011, 10:30 PM

Real stealthy way of playing it is.. surpassing enemies without even touching

gameranand · 10-04-2011, 10:34 PM

Yeah thats the way I play stealth games. I don't kill anybody except my targets.

I actually get 90%+ success rating in most missions and thats the reason it takes a hell lot of time to play it. And these are the reasons I like conviction but not as much as Chaos Theory.

Ethan_Hunt · 10-04-2011, 11:54 PM

Does the PC version support proper 16:9 resolution? 1920x1080 to be specific.

gameranand · 11-04-2011, 12:05 AM

Well its does support 16:9 ratio. Can't say about 1920*1080 because I have max resolution of 1440*900. But it will support most probably.

Faun · 11-04-2011, 12:18 AM

I wanna play it again, @gamerananad you are a stealth master.

Thanks for compliment.
Completed 2nd Mission just now. Damn killing my target was tricky as he was wandring with his two fu(king bodyguards but well I did iit.

Here are my objectives

Here is my Score. Damn it took 1 Hour to complete this mission. Could have done it in about 45 min but it took 15 min for me to search a Weapon Crate.

@gameranand : you are not even that stealthy bro. cuz you have knocked out many enemies though not killed. And as vamsi said - "Real stealthy way of playing it is.. surpassing enemies without even touching", that would have been better.

Actually I don't don't like them to bother me so I just knock them out so that on my return for additional objectives or fooling around no one's there to bother me at all. I don't mind knocking out the whole enemies in a level if I can. Most of the times I knock them out even I don't need to do that. Its very fun for me grab a character and then interrogate him and then knock him out.

shantanu · 12-04-2011, 05:45 PM

Splinter cell, Hitman has been games of my choice. I have played every game in the series and liked each one of them. Stealth is the key which i love about these games. Splinter cell 6 is rumoured.

.=Pyro=. · 12-04-2011, 11:32 PM

@gameranand - yeah man, i too used to knock out which were too much trouble but mostly i tried to avoid them
@shantanu - i hope sc6 becomes more stealthy, not like conviction. Conviction is a good game but it is not splinter cell. Splinter cell means fantastic stealth games.

Thats the difference between you and me. I actually go to them and grab and knock them out. LOL I don't even spare the sleeping once who are no threat to me at all.

After the criticism of conviction Ubisoft should learn like they did in AC series and don't fu(k up the next game in this series with more action oriented gameplay. I want Splinter Cell the way it was and the way it should be a stealth game not a action game.

hehe, that doesn't make any difference. they were sleeping before and now they are unconscious. pretty much the same.
Man, i wanna play chaos theory again, it is definitely the best game in the series.
yeah,right it should be a stealth game. good stealth titles come by hard enough, cant lose splinter cell. And put that black suit and nv goggle on fisher again, thats the way he is, how will people feel if mario will go around killing goombas in nanosuit.

shantanu · 13-04-2011, 01:55 AM

When I played double agent, I was stunned with the game play. All the versions actually, the gameplay , graphics and AI was awesome. Conviction turned the story and made sam a rouge agent working in revenge. I liked the idea, but gameplay was a bit unreal. Didnt like the Markers on walls telling me the objectives.

No its not the same when you go near then in loud noise they wake up when thay are unconscious they won't

. Double Agent is also pretty good but it encourages more killing.

When you take everything from a man including his daughter and don't give a damn about him then this is what happens. You will understand story more precisely if you the whole series because somehow all are connected.

.=Pyro=. · 13-04-2011, 04:06 PM

@shantanu
lol, projections on the walls were one of the cooler things in the game, it didn't interrupt gameplay at all.
And why are you saying its unreal, man, then you most probably don't like 85% of the game. Games aren't supposed to be real.Although I like realistic games like.... i dunno, far cry 2 was pretty realistic, anyways games are supposed to be enjoyed not gauged how real they are.
