Blacklist was good, too, though I never got around to finishing it because the next generation happened. somehow he always got put in a chokehold at the same minute I got shot down). Speaking as someone whose first Splinter Cell game was Double Agent on the 360 (and who liked it, more or less, for the entire one playthrough I gave it), I thought Conviction was excellent-I loved the gameplay, and it might've been the most fun I've ever had on multiplayer (me and my one Xbox Live friend were the worst spies ever. The biggest testament of how many things Conviction did right is that much better received Blacklist is doing the same exact thing just more polished and with the addition of the classic SC gameplay which obviously added a layer of stealth mechanics that were missing in the Conviction.ĭo you agree that Conviction was overhated at launch and judged as something it wasn't supposed to be? Or do you still think that the game sucks? The campaign itself is pretty damn varied, from the typical infiltration missions to Iraq to chasing a hitman to blasting Third Echelon's spec ops in the end of "Welcome Home". Use environment to your advantage (popping Korbin's goons from the outside of the window, tricking them to shoot the empty space while Sam strikes from the back feels great), execute assholes like you're John Wick, the game rewards being aggressive. Truly, if you play it like a tps (dare I say, the way it most likely was intended to be played) the game turns into one of the most varied and satisfying third-person shooters of the 10s. In fact, nothing outside of Sam still not being good in taking bullets and using shadows to hide, tells me that Conviction is supposed to be played like a stealth game. You have a gun with an unlimited ammo, a superpower to execute poor bastards on sight (provided you snapped someone's neck before), there's no need for medpacs since Sam can simply regenerate his health back. You have a very linear level design with not much room for maneuver with a lot of encounters being specifically designed with player eliminating every threat in the area. Let's look at how Conviction is designed. But I wonder if it's the right angle to discuss the game? #SPLINTER CELL CONVICTION MULTIPLAYER 2018 SERIES#Remember how back in a 2010 everyone was so utterly disappointed by the game, talking about how it's killed the series for them and not a true stealth? Well, it's kind of true, Conviction is most definitely an inferior stealth experience to the past games. Obviously there's nothing better to do than to replay games from your Steam account (because who cares about those 500 games in your backlog you've never touched).Īnyway, since SC is one of my favourite franchises, I thought Conviction was a perfect candidate for revisiting. Due to the apocalypse wrecking havoc on the planet I've been stuck at home for the past three days and had to find something to entertain myself while waiting for a call from the work.
