Introduction
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction is the fifth game in the Splinter Cell franchise. It was first released on April 13, 2010 for the XBox 360, and the next week released for the PC. The goal of the development company was to make a game with a James bond/Jason Bourne feel to it, where stealth was not about crawling along slowly, I think they succeeded in making it fun. While the game is short, it only has one weak level, and has a pretty good story, that many likened to an episode of 24. I can't say that it is like that, as I never watched 24. It was well received but has some major changes from the previous releases, so, I'll cover them here before we get to the videos.
Changes After Double Agent
The first change I'll bring to your attention is something they removed, the scoring system. If you played any of the Splinter Cell games before this, you'll remember the scoring screens, taking all your actions into account. Well, they did away with that. I feel it's a double edged sword, on one hand, some challenge is definitely gone, but, there's no BS like getting points removed for killing your assassination target. The game does not feel like its missing anything because it isn't there, but don't come into this expecting a score after every mission.
Second, addition of mark and execute, it will be in the video, of course, but the main point is, you melee kill or get a human shield, get a number of marks based on the gun you are holding and any upgrades you may have, and then just hit the Y button on the gamepad to execute them each in quick succession.
Third, there are no tranquilizers and just one point where you knock people out. Sam Fisher is a cold blooded killer in this one. He don't take shit from anyone.
Fourth, interrogations, you grab people, beat them up, question them, and get some cool animations near certain objects.
Finally, the last known position is a "ghost" of where the enemies believe Sam is close to, they will hound that position, allowing you to flank them, if you get caught. We will see this quite a few times, I'm sure, because I enjoy making them run around.
The first video is live commentary, but I do not love it, so, the rest will all be post commentary to prevent my cursing when things all go my way, and to make editing easier on myself.
ATTENTION As of bonus episode 1 on, the videos will be on Blip and Youtube rather than Blip and Dailymotion. This is mostly for my convenience of the unlimited time for youtube videos since there are a few 30 minute+ levels coming up and the editing for 2 part videos is just annoying on my part, and probably no fun for you guys either.
With that, Let's Play Splinter Cell: Conviction
