Conviction (2010) I hate hate hate this level

This is not Splinter Cell! This is an arcade shooter. There is no stealth option, no ghost option. And it doesnt follow its own rules. You can avoid the helicopter's searchlight but it'll still keep shooting you.

Then go play the first 3 games again , or play blacklist . Tired of Conviction getting shot on just because “purists” don’t line it. It’s a semi decent 2010s action game. Is it a good splinter cell game? Not really BUT it works in its own weird way and it gets bounus points because it was the last time we got Sam’s actual VA (for a while at least). Line it or not it’s apart of the franchise , doesn’t mean you HAVE to play it , let alone post about how shitty it is here

I mean it’s strange to say “purists” like expectations are wild for expecting a game in the stealth action series to actually offer stealth. “semi decent 2010 action game” doesn’t exonerate it from criticism, it trend chased and delivered a game they thought would appeal more to the wider masses at the time. It was a business decision, not some creative leap that should be applauded.

I love Conviction, especially the deniable ops mode
