My personal favorite line from Sam is from Chaos Theory. There's an objective to bomb a crashed American jet but there's an optional objective to drag the unconscious pilots to safety before you do so. However, time is of the essence so Lambert urges you to blow it without dragging the pilots and if you start carrying them anyway, Lambert starts rushing you. If you ignore him and grab the second pilot, Lambert tells him "You don't exist, Fisher. You can't get a medal for this." And Fisher simply responds with "Medals won't help me sleep at night."

@@brandonjohnson3703 I totally disagree. the version of PS2 seems to me far superior to that of xbox (ignoring the graphics that was not such a great leap) and from the first level if I remember correctly, we could see the villain of the game while in xbox it seemed to be something totally alien to the rest of the game In addition many great things like the introduction of the trust system was omitted by a more permissive one (I miss the guy who hated Washington but was a protected witness and if you killed him or not affected the trust of both organizations). All this without mentioning the lack of the sound meter making the stealth less tactical in my experience. For me, without a doubt, the worst part was that each faction had its own level of confidence in xbox while in ps2 the trust meter is shared and if you gain confidence in one you lose confidence in the other.

Hey man, great retrospective, and I know I'm pretty late, but in Splinter Cell: Blacklist you mention that to get the best stealth gear, you have to play through missions made for it without having it. I feel like that's a great thing, since you basically have to prove that you aren't incompetent without the gear. Someone has probably pointed this out before but it scratched my brain the wrong way and I thought I'd give my thoughts on it.

(Although, the emulation isn't very accurate) Turns out that there was supposed to be much more story to NPP from cut levels like Severonickel (Shortened to Kola Cell), Mining Town (Not found yet), and Shipyard (Shortened to the Vselka DLC missions) than when you initially covered it in your PS2 versions review which is why the story didn't make sense initially when doing the extraction.

I have fully completed it about 15 times (I wish it was an overstatement) and loved every bit of it... except that mission in Japan where there is a steam room and a bomb and some guys with IR goggles chasing you. After playing the game I truly believed I was a spy and would sneak out of my house to go out in the dark lurking around the nearby area to eavesdrop on neighbors walking their dogs. I also went to look at a nearby military base with one of my BB guns for a recon. So much nostalgia. This game is basically the essence of my childhood...

replace "most people are going to prefer it" with "scotch has an acquired taste with strong loyalty from those who like it" and your analogy would be more on point also you couldve added in how light beer is generally thought to be shallow in taste but refreshing and accessible, whereas scotch is for those who want to commit to the experience hi, I drink a lot

In my experience, most people do not prefer scotch, but those who do, really appreciate it.

[@CaptainPrincess]

NOt the biggest fan of it myself but there have been certain occasions where it really hit the spot

[@joaquizzletwizzle]
