Rogue Ops: The "Sexy" Splinter Cell

Rogue Ops is a third person game where you play as a 2003-looking spy lady and you have to play DDR every time you want to stealth takedown a guy. Also the devs put a big feet mode into the game for... reasons...

This is exactly what I thought lol. Sidenote, it's also nice to see this confirmed elsewhere, I thought I was crazy for getting a sick feeling going to the hospital in a small town (40k population) and seeing that every single nurse was someone who tried to convince someone to kill themself just 9 years ago lmao.

[@onearmedbandit84]

I guess the publisher didn't have enough money to properly market the game because they hired Tarantino to ghost write the cheat codes.

[@slothsong080]

Maybe the devs confused "big head mode" with "big tread mode". Very easy mistake to make.

[@demonintellect9834]

Nah they just knew big feet were going to be a fetish in the future.

[@kvant13]

The protagonist of this game is voiced by Lani Minella in a rare starring role. She has a list of game credits that dwarfs even the most memed-on voice actors like Jennifer Hale or Nolan North (most people are likely familiar with her either from StarCraft or Skyrim) but usually as "Additional Voices". Quintessential blue collar voice actress.

[@abbanon]

I thought that voice was familiar... It's the same VA as Rouge from the 3D Sonic games of that era.

[@Carnyzzle]

The devs really went, "hey, remember how everyone likes metal gear solid? We're not going to do what Kojima did."

[@galacticupfan7386]

Well, considering Kojima’s track record with female characters… they kinda did

[@pyrotechnick420]

Those gold bars still have a texture though, it's just that the shader is only comprised of a local color, in this case yellow. There is no specularity, normal, or light mapping which is why it looks so terrible. But it's still a texture. Actual untextured objects appear different depending on the game engine bc a default texture is used to display untextured assets. The more you know 🌈

The bad guys in this game have sloppy accountants on top of everything else. Clearly "Richard" comes before "Rogue Ops's Crossbow, Sniper Rifle, and Silenced Pistol".

I found this game used for about $10 years ago and bought it. It has a few good moments. There's a point early on you have to hack a door code and you can actually watch a guard enter it from a distance and get it that way. There's one mission where I remember guards communicate on radio periodically and if you start killing them, even if you don't set off alarms, they'll realize something's up when they don't get a response. There's a few good uses for gadgets. But man, those good moments are separated by long stretches of absolute terribleness. The game was insanely hard, and generally not for a good reason. It was harder on the easiest difficulty than Splinter Cell games are on the hardest difficulty, but it rarely felt a worthwhile challenge. Let's just say I'm glad I only spent $10 on it.

[@macdeus2601]

You know, the cultural references kind of make this a time capsule of a very specific period of American history. Remember the roughly 3-year period where everybody thought the Matrix was the most amazing movie ever made AND also thought it sounded badass when someone quoted George W. Bush?
