I believe that Ubisoft has killed Splinter Cell, and that we have lost something beautiful, that will never be regained.

Upset the latest Splinter Cell is not on the PS3?

Are you accusing me of being a fanboy?

Let's see:
* You don't have an XBox 360.

* You declare a franchise whose latest game is only on the XBox 360 to be "dead".  The title is also said to be a major exclusive for the XBox 360.

* You create a post in a forum, on a website, which abounds with fanboys who look for any opportunity to take a shot and take down a console they don't own.

So, put all these together, along with your post, and what do you think?  Why wouldn't I think that you happen to be an upset fanboy who is doing sour grapes trolling?  Not saying that it is, but why wouldn't I think this is, based on the pattern of the posting?

Err, I have to be the one that disproves a non-existant accusation? C'mon, fess up. Are you personally accusing me of being a fanboy or not?

 

I also have no idea what you mean by "The title is also said to be a major exclusive for the XBox 360"

"Splinter Cell- Has Ubisoft Surrendered to Chaos Theory?"

 

So your whole basis is "You criticized an 360 exclusive"

To be honest, I'm assuming at the momment that Conviction is going to the PS3 anyway. Ubisoft is like EA, Activision, etc. They go for profit, and I'm confident that they're going to make it multiplat later. So I feel as though I'm attacking a multi-plat game, but that's totally way off topic.

Note that I also make no mention of Microsoft or the 360, but I attack Ubisoft. I'll admit that Splinter Cell, even when it was multiplat, was primarily an Xbox centric game, so Xbox has always been a big part of Splinter Cell, both in its good days, and bad. They're not the variable that's causing its demise.

*shrug*

I really don't know where this conversation is going, and I find it ironic that you accuse me (you are) of being a fanboy, yet you're the only one here that can only think of things in terms of console wars, enemies, friends, fanboys, etc.

I take ownership over my being biased and will admit to it.  The 360 is my system of choice, and the Wii is a second system.  I have the PS3 for exclusives and a Blu-Ray player, purchased when it was backwards compatible.  As far as "burden of proof" when a post walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck ("I believe that Ubisoft has killed Splinter Cell, and that we have lost something beautiful, that will never be regained.") then I can ask if it is a duck or not, or quest the posting motive of the person who writes a eulogy for a game that is not on a PS3.

So, let's take your post's point a bit and let me ask you about MGS4.  In your take, did Kojima kill off Metal Gear as an intellectual property?  I was able to play about the entire game as a Third-Person shooter without bothering with stealth at all (except in the beginning).  I personally thought this is fine.   And your take?

By the way, on this note, I guess I should respect your stealth ownership of Splinter Cell games in this process.

I rented MGS3, hated it. Bought MGS4, only played it once, thought it sucked. I totally hated how confusing the control scheme was in comparison to Splinter Cell, and I hated the fucking melodrama (part of it has to me not understanding the story though, since I never played any previous MGSs). I pretty much played that as an action game since the stealth was illogical to me.

So in otherwords, I think that Splinter Cell 1-3>MGS

*shrug*

Point? Really, what is your point?

Again, your entire basis is the fact that I do not own a 360, and I criticed a DEVELOPER (not a console) for butchering a series, not for making their series an exclusive (although the Xbox has always been the lead platform for Splintercell). So your only problem is me, not having a little icon below my name, not the content of my post. Please criticize the post, not the author. Do you agree with the POSTor not? Do you agree with its CONTENTor not?

 

*shrug* Really, what are we arguing about? What can we possibly argue about? It's a fact that I don't have a 360, and that I have a PS3. So... where do we go from there? I suggest that we actually talk about the topic at hand, instead of derailing the thread.
