In pretty much all of Tom Clancy's post-Cold War stuff, the bad guys are idiots. The good guys aren't usually much better, but immediately notice the bad guys' every little mistake, no matter how miniscule.
Because they are hoping people aren't gonna be DICKS! But small flaw with that, this is the internet. DICKS that make a new account to troll a forum will always exist, you know, cause they're DICKS!tburke0 said:
I thought conviction was an amazing game. In my humble opinion it still has the stealth that makes the series great even thought it is slimed dow a little bit it is still good also they added new things to keep this series fresh. also I thought it had a engaging plot throughout while the single player was a little short the co op makes up for that. all in all worth the purchase of the game.
ps I thought the america line was going a bit far. I know people like making fun of america but at one point it stops being funny.

I have not and will not play this game. Everything I saw and read about it previously seems well summed up by Yahtzee: a game that basically plays itself, built for retards. I saw a video review where they showed the whole "ghost" mechanic of where guards last saw you. Literally, his "ghost" was 2 feet away, while he hid in a small shadow, and a guard walked right up there, turned, looked at the ghost, and went "He's not here!"... without looking around. Just staring at where he last saw Fisher like a complete moron. Stuuuupid game.
Conviction is the only Splinter Cell game I've actually enjoyed. Previous titles in the series seemed to make you randomly trip over an untied shoelace, alert everyone and reset you for being seen. You can complain that Conviction is too arcade and that running and gunning is too easy to do in it, but I prefer it to Double Agent where I gave up during some silly timed obstacle course.
And, of course, all stealth game guards are particularly stupid and loyal. Honestly, most security guards would soil themselves and beg for their lives if you so much as flashed a gun. Certainly, no one is going to keep shooting at you with their seven closest coworker buddies leaking from fresh holes in their foreheads. It would be interesting - actually, it would be terrible as a game - to play something where people acted naturally.

Oh look, another game he doesn't like.....I can't really agree on anything he said....mainly cause I have yet to play the game, the only game I actually played of the SC series was Chaos Theory
Wow, you finished your book? I've been waiting for this about as long as I've waited for And Another Thing... and I finished that one long ago 
Great, something else to look forward to!
Also, I loved your USA simile. I'm gonna have to memorise that.

WOW, I'll bet you're the same height as a heckuva lot of other people as well!!!! :OCmwissy said:
At first I thought that the gameplay sounded very similiar to how I felt about MGS4, my number 1 dissapointment in games, but then it got even worse. I wonder if Yahtzee was just so fed up with the cut-scenes in MGS4 that the gameplay seemed halfway decent, or is Conviction really that bad?
not buying. either the game nor the shamelessly plugged book.
I think there are different brands of stealth. And spliter cell's brand is for as much market appeal as one can get. Guns = money.

I think that's quite far from short. Maybe below average (if you're a guy), but still quite normal-middle height. Being just over 6' I find myself at just the right height, I can consider myself tall without attracting attention or suffering from it. I'm guessing you're quite young.Cmwissy said:5 ft 8" is actually pretty disgustingly shortHapetiitti said:
