This game pays respect to the stealth genre without being boring, fighting off enemies with straight up weapons matters, knowing how to hold a narrative through multiple chapters matters, and I 100% consider this a good game. Splinter cell I played blacklist prior to conviction and I think it's an answer to both action and the stealth genres.

Interrogation

An 85 means something.




Splinter cell conviction let's talk about it, what does the linear gameplay mean to you, and how an open world splinter cell could be a good time.

 

[KyoZz]

Ok game, bad Splinter Cell.

the day Splinter Cell died.

Double Agent 360 was bad enough, but this was the final stab. it never recovered

 

[diffusionx]

Good attempt to modernize the formula. Second one was been better, wish they were ported to PS4 and cleaned up a bit.

 

[MMaRsu]

Better to play it on PC where you can turn off the grey saturation when entering stealth

Without a doubt the shittest shark jump game ever made.

Absolute fucken shite.

The story went from being about a small cog in a big political machine in a big world to being 12 year old cringe universe shrinking fan fiction.
"What if his daughter didnt really die but was fake dead and kidnapped by some guys and also Sam was a soldier in the middle east and we can do a flashback and he saves his longtime best friend who we just made up for this game"

Grinsdottir goes from being a support desk based analyst to actually being a top tier field agent all along.

The characters look and behave completely different to any of their previous depictions.

Who can forget the guards shouting every minute "BRO DO YOU THINK YOURE BADASS?"

This game and everything "Tom Clancy" after it is why Ubisoft should die.

The interrogation scenes were pretty cool tho.

 

[Gonzito]

Great game. Awful Splinter Cell

 

[ElFenomeno]

Absolute dogshit.

 

[Arachnid]

It's my least favorite Splinter Cell. I enjoyed it. I hope to god SC never has another game like it.

Momentum is a real thing. This game bombed so hard with the core fanbase while simultaneously failing to build a new one that Blacklist (which was actually great) didn't sell enough because people still had this in their minds when they thought of Splinter Cell.

Great game, I still play the Co-op campaign and Deniable Ops every now and then. I wish it had Spies vs Mercs

Ironside rejected the role for personal reasons, don't think throwing money at him would've worked since he was dealing with cancer.

Amen!

Mark & Execute targets was also fun.

EDIT: Those objectives stamped on the environment were cool.

 

[schaft0620]

All of the Max Payne games and Splinter Cell games via Backcomapt are awesome.

 

[Loomy]

Ok game, bad Splinter Cell.

Great game. Awful Splinter Cell

This is where I'm at. I really like this game a lot, but it's not really what I want from the Splinter Cell franchise.

 

[corgiix3]

Literally the worst splinter cell game of all time.

edit* honestly you know what this game is just garbage overall

 

[AndrewRyan]

It's the last game in my 360 backlog. Enjoyed the first half with its interesting presentation style and fun gameplay.

 

[KyoZz]

This is where I'm at. I really like this game a lot, but it's not really what I want from the Splinter Cell franchise.

The saddest part is that Sam is now reduced to a mere skin for Ubisoft's shitty games like XDefiant (dead now, thank God). I swear the Guillemot are retards, Yves has gold in his hand and does nothing but taking awful decisions.

I'm so pissed at Ubi.

 

[Sticks]

Isn't Blacklist 4K60 now on Xbox?

 

[Js562]

What nobody liked it? Shit is good fun especially in coop. I still play it here and there with rainbow six Vegas

I was a HUGE splinter cell fan and for me that game was a complete disaster. Biggest gaming disappointment of my life until Dragon age Veilgaurd came out
