well, if you play on hardest difficulty, apple n execute is disabled and then you just go and pretend there is no cover system, then it might play like a splinter cell.

Soooo...

I started playing on Realistic to fuck around because I thought it would be easy and I wanted to play Perfectionist on PC.

It wasn't easy.

I got ganged banged quite a few times, I tried the Panther approach (again, just to fuck around) on the first mission and it bit my ass quite a few times, I underestimated the AI.

Even when the light on your back shines, you're still very much visible as soon as they get not that close (10-15 metres maybe?)

Once you get detected and the enemies gang up on you there is little to no chance of escape.


ATM I'm playing the second mission as a Ghost this time, apart from a forced sniper thing where you need to kill a bunch of dudes I haven't killed a single soul, and at my last checkpoint the game said I left 17 hostiles undisturbed.

I also love that the patterns in the patrols are randomized and that the AI finally reacts to their buddies going missing.



So far I like it very much, I'll post some more after I finish the second mission stealthily

That's a damn shame, classic SC "hiding in darkness few steps from unaware guard" has been replaced with hugging cover and avoiding guard's line of sight altogether. Sad

No, that's not what I meant. It happens even if you stay in cover, you have to approach them from the back or from the side. You totally can still hide in the shadows, it's just you get detected a lot faster when you're in their line of sight (which makes sense in daylight missions Laughing)


I just finished the second mission as a Ghost, 23 hostiles undisturbed, 2 KOs.

Alright, that sounds good. Smile

EDIT: Just a quicky question, is it possible to knock out those guards around Kobin without them being alerted ? (Pretty much only option fast enough that I can think of is sticky shock them all with MaE or open the door and throw sleeping gas)

Yeah, you can M&E them with the shocker, open the door and throw sleeping gas... And I'm pretty sure you can whistle behind the corner near the room and they'll hear it too

Not sure how the fact that you can stealth through mission can be changed in two weeks, there are forced action sequences, but you never have to kill anybody

I'm more interested in the SvM multi, but with 4 days before release, it's not a good idea to hop in LIVE to check it... and on jtag is a bit more difficult to do so.
From what i'm seeing, the game for 360 is on 2 disks, what's on the second disk, except for the "hd" textures?
Thanks for sharing the info!Smile

So I can download only the textures, move them to an usb drive and just play MP from the first disk... cool. Smile Thank you.
But the wait for abgx verification will kill me. Sad

Laughing We should start betting on exactly when Neon will go back from defending the game to saying he bought it just to make fun of it on YT.

Yup. KOs are back, you can ghost through missions etc, you can hide bodies, the AI might be the best in the series so far.

I'm just after the second mission so I didn't unlock shit yet, I don't think I'm going to play more, I just wanted to check if it was worth it. Smile


It is.

Well, Neon, can you name any negatives about the game? So I can give more credibility to your impressions?

Some of the latest posts are proof that you have already satisfied all the fanboys that are gonna buy/yarr the game no matter what. But we the skeptical ones would like some love too Twisted Evil

With that said and that I'm almost finishing my 100th playthrough on Chaos Theory (one of the few games I can replay anytime), one thing I really miss from the other SC games (beside maybe Double Agent for PS2/oldXbox) are the interrogations of some of the guards. Is this possible here? and are there any dialogs between the guards, or are everyone just shouting "come out, Fisher!" Very Happy

While the AI is really good, it does have some stupid moments... The dogs seem very OP too, they detect you from very far away and they drag all the guards behind them as well Very Happy

The forced action sequences are stupid of course.

Also you can't holster your weapon which just looks stupid (Sam KOs people with his gun holstered though)

Voice acting on Grim is really good, Briggs is awful, Sam is OK/meh.

Nope, Sam interrogates different people in cutscenes and you get to decide whether or not to kill them.

Plenty of dialogues from the guards, some of them different if you restart checkpoint etc.

Also lots of dialogues during missions between Sam and Grim, quite humorous as well.

Well, thanks. That feels much better.

Now, where's that Tom Francis review? I wouldn't be surprised if he was sent on vacation right around the release of the game or if his review copy got lost before reaching destination Cool Face
