Gamespot: Great storytelling makes the short campaign entertaining, but it's in the fun co-op modes that this stealth/action hybrid truly shines.

i can't imagine why there are so many mod deleted comments, butt hurt people from both sides of the field i guess

still, i agree Natrsu Batman AA is still one of the games I CAN play and haven't =( i still need to check that out

callahan095886d ago (Edited 5886d ago )

My comment was deleted, all I said was that this place is starting to get really annoying with all the juvenile comments, flame-baiting, flaming, spoilers, blah blah blah. I guess I was deleted for being off-topic? I dunno.

It's a shame, though.

I look forward to playing Splinter Cell tomorrow when it arrives from GameFly, but I already know all of the plot twists because of the spoilers let loose around here (they really went all-out with this one, having spoilers not only in the comments, but also in the titles of "alternate sources" that they submitted to lots of the Splinter Cell articles). It should still be enjoyable though.

And at the "maybe not AAA" comments, look... AAA has nothing to do with review scores. It's more or less a budget thing. This game is AAA, no question about it. Years in development, millions of dollars invested, tons of television advertisement. That's AAA. Doesn't matter if it gets less-than-9 review scores. Just like some games can get over-9 review scores, and it doesn't make it AAA, because it's a smaller game without the advertising budget and the public appeal. Like Braid, for example.

AbyssGravelord5886d ago

Jesus Christ! What happened in the comments above me?

The Wood5886d ago

most people were just saying how dogystyle trying to leave spoilers was stupid

gololo5886d ago

I can live with that. Like I said, this game will end up around 88-91 so it is expected that 80s scores will be coming in. Just got back from Gamepost Midnight launch and can't wait to play this game tomorrow. Good nite everyone and happy gaming.

peeps5886d ago

Butt hurt, reassurance fail

nemrawy5886d ago (Edited 5886d ago )

Fair score for a 5-hours long game with sub-par graphics.

Guys Keep in mind that Ubisoft have been working on this project for 5 years so believe it could have definitely been better.

mistajeff5886d ago

i've only played a few levels so far, but it's really weird how rushed it feels for a game that was in the oven for so long. even compared to the e3 demo, there's stuff it didn't follow through on. maybe i'm not far enough in, but none of the levels feel like a 'mini-sandbox' like they claimed last year after they re-revealed. the mechanics don't gel that well for me, and there's something about the controls that just feels off. the plot feels like an episode of 24 on crack, and the awkward flashback tutorial for mark and execute had me laughing at sam's relationship with his daughter instead of binding me to it.

but i'm only a few levels in, i'm trying really hard to reserve my judgment for when i finish. i'm hoping it gets better from here and this is just a bad first impression. but it feels.. kind of sloppy right now.

DARK WITNESS5886d ago

@ mistajeff

you know what, I don't know if it's fair for me to say this, but I felt exactly the same.. but I got that feeling just from playing the demo.

Everyone else loves it, so I guess I should shut up because I am just being a hater. Truth be told though, I am a huge SC fan, but everything you pointed is pretty much how I felt from the demo.

I said it in another comment about the game when people kept going on about the not carrying bodies anymore crap, and I said it there, for me the issues is a more then just not carrying bodies .

anyway, when you finish it I would really love to hear what you overall thoughts are on it.

Just PM me with your honest opinion.

Arnon5886d ago

The game was only in the "oven" for about 2 years. They scrapped the first development cycle, and started over around mid 2008.

Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

Bane352595d ago (Edited 2595d ago )

Yeah i thought ninja gaiden was gonna get remaster because it wasnt announced for backwards compatible til just now tho i would've been up for joy if they announced max payne 3 for backwards compatible today instead

hiawa232595d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane352595d ago (Edited 2595d ago )

@hiawa23 i think R* has plans to remaster MP3 at this point

Z5012595d ago

You couldn't play your copy of NG2 before this announcement?

Bane352595d ago (Edited 2595d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19932595d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5012595d ago

Kept your game, but no console to play it on?
No one sells 360's anymore?

bluebenjamin2595d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne

Gwiz2595d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin2595d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

2595d ago
Movefasta19932595d ago

facts, once you beat a souls game and do ng plus, you have the game downloaded. Once you return to ng1 and 2 you still can get your ass handed to you lol, the regular enemies are a threat, still attacking even when they are on the ground dismembered.

Gaming4Life19812595d ago

Agreed dark souls, bloodborne, and sekiro are overhyped games and dont compare to ninja gaiden 1 & , ninja gaiden 3 sucks.

What does BB have to do with NG2?
Why not insert Contra Shattered Soldier while you're at it.

bluebenjamin2595d ago

Ninja gaiden was once considered one of the hardest games ninja gaiden 2 has rpg elements so does bloodborn they have similar combat but ninja gaiden 2 just looks better doing it plus its fast pace and flashy combos removing limbs of foes remember 360 put more enemies on screen than ps3 on this game 360 had more dismemberment of limbs than the ps3 vs.360 had a better gpu but ps3 still to this day has an awesome cpu the ps3 had the prettiest ninja gaiden because of native 720 p while 360 pushed 640p now the one X has both higher rez and 360 style dismemberment But Ok for you contra ps2 version and nes

Movefasta19932595d ago

I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable

Z5012595d ago

Again. Why'd you pick BB?
Ninja Gaiden has ninja dog mode = easy
NG2 has a jump and block button
BB has none of those.

You could've picked a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta game. They're more similar to NG2 than BB.

What does PS3 have to do with this announcement? Your insecurities are showing.

Gaming4Life19812595d ago

I think they are being compared because of difficulty but I dont even think that is comparable imo. Ninja gaiden games are better though that's just facts.

Hungryalpaca2595d ago

And Forza is Better than MARIO Kart!!!!!

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin2595d ago

No Mario Kart is the best racer ever almost anyone can play

timotim2595d ago (Edited 2595d ago )

Amazing news! NG2!?!? Three Splinter Cell games!!! Fable 2&3 (the first is already enhanced)!!! This is what separates Microsoft's version of BC from others...its that they enhance both the performance and visual quality of these titles to keep them current in a lot of cases, instead of playing them exactly how they played and performed back in the day. Whats even better...I don't need to do ANYTHING but download the new patch...amazing.👏

Keep it coming Xbox!

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for July 2018 any good?

Neil writes: "Every single month we hear the same old thing about the Xbox Games With Gold titles. "We don't want that rubbish - we want decent games, we want AAA blockbusters, we want something different". Well, the free Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles being given away during the month of July pretty much tick those boxes. What's the chances there will still be complaints?"

Tom clancy and virtua fighter are great death sqaured is pretty cool idk about assualt

lxeasy2885d ago

Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.

ApexWolf222885d ago

Great month for 360 titles, X1 titles remind me of early days when all they gave away were indies, I hope they dont start doing that again.

AG1002885d ago

at least you can play the 360 games on xb1 too lol

Goldby2884d ago

Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely

yomfweeee2885d ago

I though Plus was lackluster this month. Gold is way worse.

BQ322885d ago

Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.

annoyedgamer2885d ago

No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.

lxeasy2884d ago

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome

A new Tom Clancy adventure can be enjoyed on Xbox One due to Back Compat – Is it worth the return?

Carlos writes: "Xbox Backwards Compatibility has shown a strong start to 2018 with a number of top titles being made available to play on Xbox One, but whilst this week doesn’t bring quite as many new arrivals as the past few weeks, there is still one addition for us to get stuck into once more... and it’s one that’s sure to prove a popular addition."

No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.

Vectrexer3024d ago

Are we confused? We get games that we've been enjoyed before at no cost to us!

C-H-E-F3025d ago

"new"? an "old" Tom Clancy Adventure can be enjoyed on xbox one due to back capat is worth the return"
