From IGN:
"Battles rage here on IGN stars...After the conclusion of a hard-fought Hero Showdown between Link and Cloud, Hyrule's defender emerged victorious. Where do you go from an epic battle such as this? Well, staying in the world of games, we decided to get our hands considerably dirtier and visit a pair of gritty fellows who kill with precision and move in the shadows - namely Solid Snake and Sam Fisher, the heroes of Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell, respectively. It's time to see these two step out of the shadows and square off, so let's see what happens. You determine the winner...
So who will emerge from the shadows and triumph? Will it be Tom Clancy's poster boy with the tri-glow visor or the silent but deadly Silent Snake? This time, console loyalty is out the window. Will it be yet another popularity contest or will voters take each fighter's strengths into account..."
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
after playing both all i can say is that people get attached to Snake, people talk about great moments in ever metal gear games and stuff about what snake does... thats not the case about splintercell's Sam. it's almost like he's just some mindless killer on a mission, nothing memorable. and that just proves it. splinter cell is a newbie on the block. and Snake with MGS is the top dog of the block. you see him and move out of his way.. that being said this contest should never even have happen because, we know that this will only flame and war. but the fact is there,
everyone wants MGS4 and nobody is even giving a damn about splinter cell: conviction. even though that game looks good.
Sam fisher just doesn't have that iconic flair and charisma that snake deliver in all his games
Now that's an easy one (At least for me). Snake FTW!
Looking good even when he's wearing a spandex and a maustache xD
Sam Fisher Is cool too tho :P but nowhere near as badass as snake.....
Snake
Do we even need a competition?
Snake, all the way!!!
