I finished playing all the way through the single player campaign PC version. At first I was skeptical as I started to play through. Differences were distracting me from seeing all the possibilities that this games has. I pushed through and the game started to reveal more.
You want action or you want stealth, it's up to you with this game and it doesn't feel like you have fucked up if you go the action route. It was satisfying however I chose to go. If you are into the game and learn about the different gadgets and weapons you will excel and play like a strategic champ. If you play the game like a meat head that is used to no brain run and gun games you will get fucked up and blame the game for being shitty.
I got killed a shit load of times and went back for more very pissed off. Since I have my game loaded on a solid state drive my reload time was only around 3-5 seconds. I could imagine this is shitty for people that have to wait each time they die to go back at it again. Reloading and loading times are a real pain in the ass and it would be a relief if gaming systems had SSD.
I haven't even touched the online part of the game and that has to be some great gaming, however I will leave that to other people. I'm not much of an online game guy, I get my ass kicked.
I have disliked cut scenes in video games and have wanted them to stay out and leave that shit to movies. This game is a rare occasion, I actually watched all of them all the way through. Even though the face movements have been better in games years passed the story was compelling and I enjoyed it. I'm surprising myself because I usually don't have this many good things to say about action games.
I am a fan of the old day splinter cells like pandora tomorrow and chaos theory. I liked rainbow six games and ghost recon 2 was good times. I never played splinter cell conviction and didn't really like the first splinter cell that came out with xbox 360. I never know what franchise will surprise me with a hit. This game is a hit and the best new game I've played sadly since Dead Space 2 or Skyward Sword, oh can't forget Donkey Kong country returns. All games that came out a while ago. I play all kinds of games so any kind of game could have been mentioned. Sure I like violence and I like to be involved in a game too. This game is very involving.
The replay will be fun times. I look forward to playing the shit out of this game and buying everything there is to buy. I want to be powerful like replaying Resident Evil 4. I do like to remember how to kill levels and this is cool because you can go through each campaign a different way. I want to be able to go through it hardcore stealth style and slice and dice everyone.
Things get mixed up and some people might not like this. I don't care if franchises change. What I care about is if the game is highly entertaining. The game plays good once you get the hang of how your character moves around. Learning curve will take a few hours. First play through is a learning experience all the way. My skill improved and later in the game I was dancing around enemies.
I looked up reviews and was surprised to see some people having a bad experience. I'm thinking these people are horrible at challenging games and I'm not talking about brutally slow paced hard games like Dark Souls. I'm saying you have to use your brain with this game and you have to accept change. It's not a simple game, there is a lot to it and that is a major part of the game being so awesome.
The Wii U version looks like it has some extras that I'm missing out on. The additional stuff on the pad looks pretty cool and is a good look at what that pad is capable of. When I get a Wii U I will have to give it a play.
While I play the game I'm reminded of games like Snake Eater and Manhunt. Both of these games were the shit and I like being reminded of classics when I play a game. It is a good direction for gaming to go in my opinion.
Like I say there are tons of shitty games put out and very few are gems. This game is a gem.
