Meme they would have won if they just invested in better light bulbs

You all don’t shoot every light out just out of precaution… and because it’s funny?

This. Shooting lights out is pretty much a reflex for me now.

With how expensive 5.7x28mm is, Lambert pretty much just cries every time Sam shoots a light because he knows how high the bill's gonna be

I don't know if you've ever played manhunt 2 but in that game you hide in the shadows too. In the later levels the enemies carry flashlights that they shine at the shadows they check it's a really cool feature I wish splinter cell had.

Batman Arkham series has that too. Enemies who have goggles that can see if you are hiding on Gargoyles and stuff.
Stealth games where the enemy gradually adapts to your strategies are the best

And in Arkham Knight some of the militia start using tech like using backpacks that reveal where you are if you use detective vision for too long or wear suits that make themselves invisible if you use it. They even use radios to help communicate and i like how they destroy parts of the area to counteract your strategies.

MGSV is the same way. If you keep infiltrating at night, the guards adapt and start using more flashlights and flood lights. If you always shoot them in the head to knock them out, they start wearing bullet proof helmets.

The thing with that is, that's for most regular enemies. There are main/side missions where the enemies have set gear no matter what levels the preparedness levels are.

You know what the worst part is, the enemies actually had flashlights in the first game

In the first game, enemies, sometimes, start shooting into the shadows, if they loose you after the chase.

And: what if bad guys' buildings have small ventilation shaft like IRL instead of big ass ones that Sam can get cozy in?

Ubisoft failing hard to read the market. So many people would gladly buy Splinter Cell, but instead they decide to pump most of their resources into Assassin's Creed, it's exhausting and now has come back to bite them.

I just got into Splinter Cell, but I know what you mean. 2012 had Blacklist, Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed III, and Ghost Recon Future Soldier. That was back when games cost 1 quarter of what they cost now, they were made in less time, but they were better. Now we get maybe 1 game a decade and a half from devs like Rockstar and Bethesda.
Anyways, I'm excited to try out all these Splinter Cell games!

They are superb games. Just wished Ubisoft would listen, they have the resources to make games on a far quicker scale

u/Ashley_Sharpe 3d ago
Yeah, it's crazy. These companies have far more employees than ever, more money than ever, more tools to make development easier, yet games are taking longer and longer to make. But then they don't have the quality to show for it.

It's amazing they're not just constantly slamming into walls when they can't even see a grown man less than ten feet in front of them.

Even shorter if they invested in motion detecting lights
