The other Splinter Cell games sucked, hate to tell you.
Dear Developers
Fun stealth gameplay is not watching the ass of some guy in a wetsuit for thirty minutes as I carefully wait for all the guards to move. A good stealth game is not "Go from A to B without being seen."
Thief was a good game, even the worse games of the series were better then your average stealth games. There is shit to steal, people to quietly assassinate, overall there was shit to do besides sit in the shadows and watch the guards move back and forth as I waited for a chance to move.
Thanks
