NTM

@Mnemoidian: The PC version is supposedly worse. I bought it for five bucks, but it was used and couldn't play it. Try the 360 version if you ever want to try it again, you won't have the same problem I'm sure.

@mordukai: Well, that may be true that it lost the foundation of what the previous Splinter Cells did, but after a while, I just didn't care. I think Conviction is still a high quality game, and that's why I don't care.

I think a lot of peoples problem with the game is what they took out of the game, not exactly how Conviction plays on its own. That's OK, but I think Conviction deserves more credit, because even if this is true, the game is still fantastic with noticeable problems that aren't because of what it lacks from previous installments.

@mordukai: @Resident4t: You can stealth all the way through the game, or at least almost the entire game. It's kind of like the Arkham games, whether you care for those games or not, it is like it, and that means you can stealth your way past it all. Sam is able to be "invisible", just as Batman. I think you mean to say it feels stripped and streamlined.

@Jadeskye: Double Agent was the worst of the Splinter Cell games, it's barely even good, it's OK, but no thanks.

@xobballox: You can definitely go through every encounter without being noticed though, which is fun to try and do; but yes, it is action-y.

@Junkerman: One of the first things I noticed in Conviction was the fact I couldn't move bodies into shadows which disappointed me. I got over that, but I wouldn't say no to that if it returned. I guess I can agree, but if they don't put it in, I won't complain. I don't think the earlier ones were that rewarding because they were complicated; you just have to get into the correct mindset to play those games, just like any other game. They were as easy a stealth game as Call of Duty is a shooter. I think Conviction is more intense for the most part, though it being as easy as it can be doesn't really help it. I think the earlier Splinter Cells were a bit tenser since you really had to make sure you weren't being caught, which is the preferred way to play. The only thing I don't really care for with the shadow hiding in Conviction is the way the screen goes black and white; it's to some extent a hindrance, but not too much.

Man, I don't want them to hurry (as in make it crap), but I can't wait to see some footage of the sequel. I hope its like Conviction, just... better where it needs to be (as every sequel/prequel should be).

Metal... Gear? Solid RPG!?

Although I shouldn't judge a game I haven't played thoroughly, and liked what I played from a shooter point of view, I think F.3.A.R. needs to be gone. The third F.E.A.R. needs to be like the first one.

Crysis 2. I would remove it so hard.

This to a lesser extent, meaning I think the game should exist, but not as is. There needs to be things added, and other things taken away from it. Crysis 2 really hurts the series in a way, and it makes me a bit worried and slightly less excited for three. I didn't hate it though. I loved the sound for the most part except for the fact that it has bugs. I guess I'm mostly talking about the console version, but that's not really something you should be mistaking if you're planning on making the series cross-console. Also... the majority of voice acting is bad.

As far as I've read through other sites, this is the best answer you'll get: because soccer (football) is entertaining.

I personally don't care for soccer at all, but I'm guessing you're wondering why so many people like it. What is it exactly that has all these people liking it, and why isn't it like the rest of these things that only have a certain amount of people watching or playing it? It's almost kind of like asking, why do people that have already played one Call of Duty, buy the next? Except for me, I do it because I like Call of Duty (though not so much for the multiplayer). It's all opinion.

Huh, well then. I'm not entirely sure how I receive the flasks out of nowhere. When I started the game a few months ago, I remember just running around and had the full five, then immediately two come, then a third. It happens less now, but it still happens. I like it. Right now I just have to get more fire bombs (or whatever the heck they're called) so I can beat this gargoyle boss faster. I beat one but he had another help him after his health went down and I had no flasks which I was going to go back to a bonfire to get more, or see if one of the shop dudes sold them, but since the guy didn't have anything (as I should have known) and the bonfire would have just made more guys come back, I didn't want to waste the time, so I fought him. I really expected harder, but it's not that bad.
