What was wrong with Splinter Cell: Conviction...?

I just recently bought Conviction due to it being rather cheap, and I gotta say, I'm having a blast with the game. I remember when the game first released, a lot of people were bashing it to death. It's a solid title, that has amazing co-op, so I'm not sure what was wrong with it...

Play the splinter cell games before and you will see!

I think that what's wrong with it is that it should'nt have been called Splinter Cell.

MGS4 plays like an MGS game. Conviction does'nt play like Splinter Cell.

I played Splinter Cell and Chaos Theory before. Conviction doesn't feel too different from previous entries. Yes, it may be more linear, but the core Splinter Cell gameplay is still there...

The problem is Ubisoft turned awesome stealth games into a mindless TPS'er known as Splinter Cell: Conviction

I didn't find anything wrong with it. It was an evolution that the series was in dire need of.

I've played all the Splinter Cells and although Chaos Theory is my fave, Conviction comes in a very close second. Narratively, it's the best of the bunch. If anything, the gameplay changes were too much for SC purists to handle, but that doesn't necessarily make it bad. Just a bit different.

All in all, an excellent game.

Not sure what was so, "mindless" about it. If you get shot a few times, you die outright. Executions help streamline the gameplay, but it's not like you HAVE to use it...I'm pretty sure you can get through most of the game just sneaking though (I could be wrong, though).

Like someonelse already said play the older Splinter Cell games and see the difference between the games.

Much of the game, yes, but not all. But that's ok, because when the tactics switch to all action, it makes sense in the story.

Regardless, one of the main complaints about the SC series in general was that his hand to hand skills were garbage and that he didn't have a big enough repetoir of offensive moves in case stealth failed. On top of that, people always complained about the trial and error gameplay.

Conviction directly addresses those. In my eyes, it was probably the best thing they could have done.

Oh guess I missed it then. Well anyway if you think it's a good game while you played the superiour older games then that's your well earned right as a gamer but I don't agree. To me Conviction is nothing more then a downgrade compared to the older games.

It's a departure from the past games. It was good, but compared to games like Chaos Theory it's like dog poop on it's foot.

Special mention to the atrocious Unreal 2.5 engine they used :roll:CuteCakes

Compared to Chaos Theory, which is one of the greatest games I've ever played, it was utter ****. Majorly disappointed. :cry:

Tech affects more then just graphics. :roll:

I loved Conviction. My only gripe is that, in some respects, they made it too much of a shooter. But it still had really good stealth, and it has an awesome story-- it does a great job of continuing the Splinter Cell saga.

nothing. it was a good game. multiplayer was good too. it was just a little short and had some really horible missions like the one where you rescue Sam.

8.0 is a solid score. :? It's not the best in the series though.
