... Men play MGS because they want to watch hour long cut scenes and hide in boxes and lockers. Yeah, that's godly. Imagine Kratos hiding under a box.
I can't help but feel that this whole argument comes more down to the systems the games are mainly on and not so much the series themselves. If Splinter Cell was some sort of Sony exclusive I promise you so many people wouldn't be ragging on it. As it is it comes down more to sony fans supporting a sony franchise without even thinking about it.
If you judge both games on stealth splinter cell wins easily. Sorry. If you want to bring in boss battles and gun play and cut scenes and non-stealthy things then I would understand the difference of opinions.
I remember playing MGS2 and the enemies have cones of vision, clearly marked on the mini-map. You could seriously just walk 10 feet in front of them and they still not see you. You could easily avoid them because you could just watch their vision cones.
In splinter cell I remember a stage where they guys hunting you can, and I quote by a different gamer, "hear a ghost fart." The AI is just better in Splinter Cell, the stealth is better.
In metal gear you hide under boxes and run around like a giant cartoon with box legs and when you startle a guy a giant exclamation mark comes over his head. Give me a break how anyone even begins to take the series serious. Not to mention the stupid long and boring cut scenes. I tried to play snake eater and it took over an hour just to have control of my character, at which point I moved 30 feet and another cut scene started. Give me an effin break!
And yes, if Splinter Cell had only existed on playstation systems, well, not only would I probably own a PS2 and PS3 but I would STILL say it is a better stealth game.
