Holly crap, the Splinter Cell demo is awful

[QUOTE="MonkaTG"]

[QUOTE="Anjunaddict"] Why? Because lems are still going to get an A+ game that maybe is disappointing but is still good? Sure, you keep feeling bad dude :wink:Anjunaddict

What? that doesn't even make sense... they're going to get a disappointing game that's still A+?... From the feedback in this thread it seems that popular opinion thinks its going to be an epic fail -_-

So yeah, i do feel bad...haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Isn't A like a 70%? possibly AA? that sucks... doesnt make the game bad... but it doesn't make the 360 get a killer game like it was expected too. Which, if i owned a 360 and saw all the exclusives on the SONY platform i'd call that an epic fail. I wouldn't happily pay $60 for an A game or even a low AA game...

[QUOTE="Anjunaddict"] The game is disappointing, but that doesn't make it a bad game. I think it will score A, possibly AA whereas im guessing everyone expected it to be AAA. So either way, the 360 is getting a good game so theres really nothing to feel bad about :wink:Anjunaddict

7.0.... like... thats the same rating as MLB 2K10 which is far far far inferior to MLB The Show sooo if MLB The Show is a great game or excellent game and MLB 2K10 is "good" than i don't want to play a "good" game as rated by GameSpot...

Overlord 2 is 7... does anyone even play or enjoy that game? Nah... but anyway... As far as April exclusives go, there's some DLC but I'm not worried about it I mean PS3 owners did get Heavy Rain, MLB 10, God Of War III, Yakuza 3, and MAG already this year. I do envy Mass Effect 2 that looks like a great game, but I would rather have those 3 than the game Splinter Cell is looking like its going to be and Mass Effect 2, to be honest.

lol, I stopped reading when you said it looked worse than Double Agent. Well, actually thats not true because you put it at the end of your post, so technically I would have to have read all of it to see that point, but still, the game looks way better than Double Agent, but I agree that its not that great looking. Its in 576p too.

The demo was too short to really judge I just didn't like the whole mark and execute thing, or the fact you can run up to some one full speed and they won't notice you maybe the game gets harder at the end but, it was too easy during the demo. Also having infinte pistol ammo was kind of cheap because I use to love worrying about how much ammo I had during a mission and when to use a gun.

On the plus side I like the simplified controls, faster moving speed, the cover system, and the slick new form of presentation.

The older Splinter Cells were like the ultimate stealth games... now they're trying to keep up with games like Uncharted and CoD.

I never liked splinter cell games so i havent been paying attention to this one is the new one different?

eh i sorta liked it

i'm thinking the level was one of those quickly put-together montages just meant to show off the gameplay mechanics, i mean after all it's a pretty segmented demo with parts thrown in just for the hell of it

so on that basis, i can't really judge if it's stealthy enough or not, i can very easily see the full game having levels designed to push the player to use more stealth and less rambo

either way, as a Splinter Cell game the demo is a step-down, but as a game by itself it's pretty decent

because judging the whole game by a tutorial makes so much sense. lol

I thought the demo was great. It shows you how to get into cover and do a close up kill, then you get a mark and exicute, then you are on your own to do whatever u want.

They took all of that out!?

Wow, this game went down the wrong track, it has great ideas but it shouldn't have removed these key aspects of the series.

I would say disappointing, rather than awful. They have changed up the mechanics, and I do prefer the old style of play, but I enjoyed the demo.

wow that sucks. i would have expected it to be a AA or maybe even AAA with the way lemmings were hyping it. so is it official? MGS:4>SC:C?SonyFan117

it was weird i wasnt able to shoot out all the light sources which makes me sad :(

This was my most anticipated game of the year and after playing the demo, I am now not even going to buy it.

Jason_A

Yeah. Seems like Ubisoft watered down the game to appeal to all those 10 year old FPS fanboys who have the attention span of a squirrel. Almost everything that I love about SC was taken out and replaced with action.

This improves my opinion on the demo by quite a bit actually.

Like I said I enjoyed the demo, and it depends what the MP is like for me to buy this game. I'll definately rent the game, but if the MP is good I'll get it.

Yeah but some people on here have no imagination and think you have to run n gun and then say that this is not a stealth game. It is nice to have options though isn't it.

I can't find an official thread, it may be too late to really gauge this one. Someone ****ed up by not doing a hype thread. Now that the reaction to the demo is out in the gaming world, the hype will drop considerably because people want to cover their asses.

The one posted by BioShockOwnz has a poll and the poll results are AAA, but I don't know if that counts as official anything. I guess people could still do a hype thread, the safe bets going for AA or A after playing the demo might be equalized by the bloodthirsty haters rating it AAA to force a flop.

Well, someone do a hype thread. I would do it but I'm really not hyped for it anymore. :s

I was unofficially hyping this game to be AAA... I'll be disappointed if it turns out to be less then an 8.5

Thats too bad, I will have to try out the demo for myself. That will be disappointing though, I was looking forward to this game.

it's just a demo....it gave me a good feeling about the game I still am hyped for it...that was just a small taste idk what u were expecting

chikenfriedrice

that's why ppl said in MAG's beta and demo...lol

it's justa tom clancy's game...why would ppl put so much hype in it? well they are not bad, but far from great.
