Yes why?, it's not all of it, there's more on another wall. Smug
I do buy games, but I buy games I like, sure I've bought a few that were crap. Thats also why I'm buying substantially fewer games now than in 96 through 99, most games released today are crap or console ports, which is the same thing.

What do you mean one silenced gun? You can upgrade a dozen guns with silencers. Check out the upgrade system.

That's spot on, I stopped playing after the Iraq mission. Don't know if I will go back to it. Loved this franchise, the first three games just got better. DA was ok but a regression on CT in my mind. This is something else completely, at its heart is a TPS with a cover system. The stealth seems to be for legacy and not the driving game play mechanic like the earlier games. That said I have only played three missions, but that was enough to sour me on the game. Sad On realistic you die fast from gun fire, which is something I suppose.

They really should of let SC die somewhat respectfully after Double Agent. I think this game would be more acceptable if it was something completely new, and didn't carry the weight of the great realistic stealth series it once was. You know, you don't need to slap the old Splinter Cell title on it, we're ready for new franchises ffs.

I loved the old Thief series. I don't think I ever killed a guard playing that game and you could hear just hanging out in the corner. That style of gaming is most likely dead, and I'm not one of those old curmudgeon gamers that denounce anything new... but at least don't spit in the face of what SC's core used to be. Can't hide bodies? Is there even a no-kill option?

Total coincidence, actually. I just happen to have visited Smart's website and photo galleries before, and I recognized that wall o' games instantly. No detective work involved.

So, it's not that I have too much time on my hands; just too detailed of a memory for random minutiae I've seen on the internet.
