People need to stop whining! | Forums

[ox Se7eN xo]

all i see on this forum is people saying how RUBBISH the game is when they havent even PLAYED it yet or seen any real in-game footage

when Double Agent came out, we had the same thing, people saying it sucked before they even played the game

in my opinion, Double Agent (on XBox and on XBox 360) were AMAZING games, they deviated from the stale and old classic Splinter Cell games (dont get me wrong, Splinter Cell, PT and CT are three of the greatest games ever made)

people are comparing Conviction with Assassin's Creed because of the crowd system

so what if they use the same thing? in case you hadn't realised, IT'S THE THING TO DO RIGHT NOW!!!

Kane and Lynch are using a crowd system as well, and as did the latest Hitman game.

quit your moaning, cos Conviction, like the rest of the Splinter Cell games Ubi have made, is going to be a classic and every single one of you is going to buy it whether you end up liking it or not

Don't count on it.

Those of us who are wary understand we have not played the game, neither have you, so you cannot venture to say it is going to be a classic when you are just as clueless to the content as the rest of us. The concern is what we have witnessed so far. At this point I will not purchase the game. After others who have or are playing have given their critique (this will include those whose logic demands quality, such as Knot3D) then I will make the decision as to whether buy, rent, or dismiss the game.

yeah i know i'm as clueless as everyone else, but when have Ubi Soft NOT made a classic (apart from Essentials, which i thought was actually alright)?

people are saying how good Assassin's Creed is gonna be, but that Splinter Cell Conviction is going to suck

same games, different eras is all

No, I don't believe you realise just how clueless you are. If you did, you wouldn't have bothered starting up yet another one of these idiotic threads. Not a very positive contribution to this forum unfortunately.

[ox Se7eN xo]

stfu, this thread is POSITIVE

the rest of the threads in this forum are about how this game sucks and how it rips off other stuff

the only reason its gone down hill is cos of people like you posting in it

Hes been around here far longer than you have and has made plenty of solid contributions in the past. He also made a good point in his last post. He has as much right to ***** about the negativity as you do to feed it. His post wasnt rude and other than assuming you will buy the game, it wasnt at all offensive. You seem to have made a habit out of being rude to people who support Conviction. Maybe thats coincidence, but alot of your posts are fairly abrasive. Try to keep in mind that not everyone who posts here is your age, your nationality, or of the same opinion as you. Disliking someones stance is hardly reason to be rude. I think you should consider purchasing a punching bag

Oye... not another one.

As many know, I am not very impressed with Conviction (from what I have seen on the trailer and of course, what I have read in various game magazines).

It is alright to have an opinion on the game based upon the available information... Everyone is entitled to their opinion. There are a few people on this board that have been very supportive of the new gameplay mechanics and the loss of spy versus merc. multiplayer. However, I have respected their right to have an opinion - no matter how vehemently I may, at times, disagree.

If you are entitled to be optimistic about this travesty, then I am entitled to be pessimistic. Each of us has seen and read the exact same things, and of course, has an opinion as to whether it will be good or not.

As far as your question as to when Ubisoft has not "made a classic", you need look no further than Double Agent (single player - while, I didn't like some aspects of the multiplayer, overall it was enjoyable to play...but certainly it was no chaos theory).

FYI - There is a reason that Ubisoft produces trailers and does interviews a year before the game comes out.... to generate a "buzz" about the game (simple marketing, really). Put simply, Ubisoft wants us to have an opinion about the game and to talk about it on forums like this (although, certainly, Ubisoft was hoping for a better reception than this title has received).

Ubisoft is, in my opinion, killing off a great franchise by getting rid of what worked (i.e., spy versus merc and light/shadow gameplay) in favor of what utterly failed (day light stealth). Ubisoft wants to make a "Jason Bourne" - style game that will be nothing more than a Hitman clone.

EmmaJordan, your missing the point of this thread

from what i've seen of the game, it looks good, and i mean the GAME itself looks good, not whether it sticks to the Splinter Cell formula

but you guys dont seem to realise that the formula that Ubi Soft are using is just one step up from what we saw in Double Agent on the 360 with the HQ missions

you had to keep what you were doing hidden and keep out of certain areas

in Conviction you gotta do the same thing (as well as hide from guards and cops)

another point is that you're still hiding, just in a different way

i guarentee if Ubi Soft were making the next Splinter Cell just like Chaos Theory you guys would STILL find something to moan about


answer me these two questions, people:

1) do you like what you've seen so far?

and

2) are you going to buy the game?

if the answer to both those questions is NO, then get off these forums! i'd rather see constructive criticism and positive attitudes than people being negative and getting into arguments

Last time I checked DA was far away from getting a classic. And I didn't even buy it, so why should i buy Conviction? To play hobbo Sam? Come on...

That doesn't mean that they had to make it a Splinter Cell game, because its not the right title for that kind of gameplay. Splinter Cell has always been unique and original, even pioneering - Splinter Cell doesn't deserve the Ubisoft strategy of copying other games if you ask me.
