Splinter Cell Conviction: the hype thread

[QUOTE="Silverbond"]

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"]So the other guy linked an actual poll with over 100 votes, you've linked some nebulous fud with no actual hard data. I'd say he is winning so far.DeadMagazines

Then is Conviction legtimately being hyped AA? :o

Both g ames were hyped AAA for a LONG TIME, and now polls show that they were hyped AA. And of course, because it's a poll it must be true!

[QUOTE="Mestitia"]

Can't wait to see this get AA and flop MGS > SC :D

Silverbond

You're excited at the idea of a game flopping?

Maybe to you. But, I'm not you.

Anyways, you were above the idea of Heavy Rain flopping, weren't you?

While it's pretty easy to be high-and-mighty when your profile is set to private, Hahadouken

lol, what point are you trying to make? BSO's profile, Floppy_Jim's profile, and even SolidTy's profile are set to private. 2 of the 3 are great posters.

I don't have anything to hide.Hahadouken

Cool. Me neither. *high five*

I've seen you bash games and consoles on 100 different occasions, you can claim you're above it but I don't agree.Hahadouken

Cool.

You secretly enjoy it.

I'm guessing half the people here didn't use the sticky cams, portable emps, emp grenades, flash bangs and frags right?

I hate it when people say they've dumbed it down when there are clearly plenty of different ways to go through the game.

And for those who were saying non-lethal takedowns, what exactly were you expecting after you saw the huge amount of videos of conviction which started LAST E3. None of them had non-lethal takedowns. And like I showed in the first link, you can do full stealth. THERE IS EVEN A MODE ON CO-OP WHICH GIVES GAME OVER ONCE YOU ARE SPOTTED.

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"] Lulz right, like you are above that. Everyone on SW enjoys flops + /popcorn, it's literally what makes this place worth reading. ;)Silverbond

Dammit, you worked it out Silverbond :P

Realistically though, i'd prefer to enjoy a plethora of games rather than mock one or two for being a "flop".

Lol, well you've been told by a random poster on the internet... Must be correct :|

I've played the demo like 50+ times. I'm hyping AAA, but it could very well get AA.

right...

if you actually have played the demo you would know that the tutorial requires you to kill the first 3 guys. :|

Way of the world my friend, way of the world. Internet posters generally know more about the person in question, than the person in question.

:o

Double Agent (360) got an 8.5 here, and that's arguable the worst Splinter Cell. I can't see this game getting sub AA.

[QUOTE="Mestitia"][QUOTE="Silverbond"]

Why?

There reason I'm hyping AAA is because GameSpot's previews seem to have been a little too positive.

Or I know his name and avatar and have seen him make a million statements that are contrary to the image both of you are trying to convey. Go ahead and speculate though, it clearly makes you better than me. ;)

Thanks lundy, I can stop tracking you now.

I still stand by my very early AAA prediction, I have that feeling it'll be way off but I have hope. heh. I love me some Splinter Cell.Stevo_the_gamer

[QUOTE="Ninja-Bear"][QUOTE="Mestitia"] For teh lulz and epic threads full of damage control :D Plus I grew tired of hearing how much better SC was over MGS when in reality MGS is the greatest there ever was :DHahadouken

1. they're both 94 on metacritics

2. sales = quality now?

3. where do you get your "general consensus"?

[QUOTE="Mestitia"] And tetris is a better puzzle game. MGS is a lot more then just stealth.Ninja-Bear
