I have heard a lot of "Stop playing SCC, start RDR, it's much more fun" on this forum. Now, I own both games and the first time I used Dead Eye it immediately reminded me of Mark & Execute. But even more overpowered. Do you hate RDR for having something similar of Mark&Execute?
It's not overpowered, in RDR the ground is never flat, when you are on a horse and you are escaping the ground levels between you and the target change rapidly making it harder to target. Also if you have seen the movie Once Upon A Time In The West (1968) you see after like 12 minutes in to the movie that the guy shoots 3 guys down, with 3 bullets and they all fall on the ground almost at the same time.
Not mentioning all the wildlife in RDR that can get you killed in matter of seconds if you didn't have access to this feature. I've experienced attacks from 5 bears at once, 10 wolves, cougars are crazy animals too. SCC is nothing compared to this.

It's a completely different game.... you cannot compare splinter cell with red dead... It's just stupid if you do. RDR is fun to me, but splinter cell is fun too.
If you're going to hate a video game for having similarities to another title, even if those similarities are quiet a stretch, you probably wont find a game you'll enjoy.
Both games a third person, should we hate them for ripping off Resident Evils 4's amazing take on third person shooting?
Should we hate Splinter Cell for being a tactical espionage game like Metal Gear Solid?
If so, we should definitely hate Read Dead Redemption for ripping off Sun Set Riders on the sega, because it had trains, cowboys and gunslingers.
Nothing in this world is 100% unique, all art, be it films, music, television, video games, books are all influenced by other art within their medium and even outside their medium.

The dead eye in RDR is much better tho because well for me i only used dead eye when i really needed to aim good is all...like to disable a running person...or to shoot someones gun away...or save someone from a gunman..but M&E on Conviction is just to clear multiple enemies at once..
It's like saying Call of Duty multiplayer is better than Alan Wake. RDR is much more expansive and has a much higher replay value than SCC, that's about it. They are both decent in their own rights.Originally posted by rysyn:

Oh right and to answer the OP, M&E and Dead Eye are almost nothing alike. They both give godly powers to the character, but that's about it. Dead Eye is a spur of the moment ability, something you use in a fight when you're outnumbered or near dead. M&E is a strategic move that is carefully used to elminate enemies that will potentially give your position away if you try to make a move or when they are sticking together in groups. Besides, Dead Eye takes real skill to operate at level 3.
And why is no one comparing this to V.A.T.S. from Fallout 3?
It's been compared extensively to VATS numerous times.
It's just that RDR was released recently.
M&E might make things easier, when/if you can use it, but it's nothing compared to Dead Eye. Aside from DE working like a get out of jail free card, nearly pausing the game so you take out a bunch of guys, while they're shooting at you, you don't even have to "earn" it; you can use it over and over (until you run out of the items that restore it, anyway).
I think RDR's an awesome game, though, and I don't even like a lot of the key features (I hate shooters, I hate killing animals, I'm not particularly fond of westerns...). I don't see why it should be compared to SCC, though - they're totally different.
I dunno about that...if I can manage, it can't be that hard.Originally posted by Ulqui4rra:

Red Dead Redemption is the sequel to Red Dead Revolver. Red Dead Revolver did Dead Eye ages ago, way way way before Splinter Cell Conviction was probably even thought of....
Hold square to shoot.
