Kinda like what rocksteady did for batman with the simple combat among other things.
Looks slick once again and will be looking forward to trying it out when it hits the shelves. #splintercellconviction

I noticed that one of the baddies in the video loudly shouts "He's here!" and then is shot. Then another one across the map just shoots and doesn't come to that location. I think that's a step in the right direction for smart AI, but usually if a swarm of guys comes down on me after I'm caught, I know I'm dead. Also, the guy just keeps standing and shooting, which makes it look easy to take him out. Hopefully they make it a little tougher than that.
Regardless, this is looking great. I love the basic tools he's forced to use (that I've read about and haven't seen) instead of having his usual gadgetry...except for the goggles of course :) #splintercellconviction

I always had fun trying to go through the games without taking out any foes (whether knocking them out or otherwise). True stealth leaves no traces. #splintercellconviction

Id say its more about the potential sales numbers than trying to stay true to anything. #splintercellconviction

The game is SO stealthy that you can't even see its promo clips.
Where is this video that Fahey is talking about, you might ask? Why it is hiding in the ducts above your head, ready to drop down and bust a cap in your azz when you least expect it.

THEY ARE ADDING AN *OPTIONAL* FEATURE
They aren't charging extra, they aren't taking anything away, and you don't have to use it if you don't want to, so don't complain about it.
If this facebook functionality does somehow make your xbox 360 experience less pleasurable, that can't be remedied by simply not using the facebook feature; Then you can come complain about it.

Should pay for and play on XBL for a full year before telling us, the paying subscribers, that it isn't worth it.
Don't knock it until you try it.

You've been hearted. (I have no star power!! Though you already have one.)

Seriously. WoW and the 360 are not so different. Both aim to grab your money wherever possible, and give you nothing in return that you can't get for a better deal (or free) elsewhere.
Just saying how it comes across to me.
So, who here is going to be subscribing to Live now that Facebook will be included in the Gold Subscription? Yeah, the beta might be free, but you do know you will have to pay for it later, right?
10/06/09
You know how you come across to me, as a person who doesn't own a 360, dislikes Microsoft, and yet, manages to comment large blocks in Xbox articles regarding the quality of service and system owners on a regular basis?
Jealous. Envious, even. Frustrated that people can enjoy something that you can't have or understand (as you yourself, say). One click on your name tells everyone your comment history and thus, makes whatever valid point you might be trying to argue invalid and tainted.
Why do you even bother opening your flap about Microsoft related services when they obviously don't concern you whatsoever? Unless, as I said, you've got a serious case of the envies and are projecting by saying 'IT AINT THAT GREAT, STOP ENJOYING IT'.

1. Everything I say is just my personal opinion. I don't expect people to agree with me, and I'm accepting of the opinions of others. I say things based on how I see things, in hopes of starting interesting debates.
2. I'm not envious of Microsoft. I'm content with my PS3, and I recognize that there are those out there who are content with their 360's. And that's just fine. And you might not believe this, but I don't *hate* Microsoft. I do disagree with some of their recent business practices and how they treat their customers, but hey, no one's perfect, and they are in business to make money, just like everyone else out there.
3. In my post you replied to, I was trying to show how having Facebook as a paid addition to the Gold subscription is a bad idea, mainly due to the fact that it will be severely limited, and everyone with a PC and an Internet connection already has access to everything the site has to offer, completely, and at no extra charge other than what you pay your ISP.
I'm a Sony fan, I admit that, but even so, I don't like seeing fans of other consoles, even ones I don't want to own, get screwed around. If we all voice our opinions more often, maybe things would have a chance at changing for the better, or at least, be recognized and noted by the companies that make these strange business decisions.
I've got nothing against the 360 or Microsoft. But hey, they've been making some stupid moves this year. As has Sony with the PSP Go to some extent. As has Nintendo with they're arguable failing Wii-Motion Plus that is hardly an upgrade from the original.
Don't get hot-headed, bro. It's only the Internet, and I'm only some stranger you'll never meet who likes to type long comments because of the high typing speed and constant caffeine highs.

And thats fine. But can't people who enjoy what they have, be allowed to enjoy it, without having some jackass running around telling them why they shouldnt? Enter PS3 boy her.
@brass2themax:
I think you want to go read your own comment history, bro. Every five minutes you're telling people how they're getting ass reamed by Microsoft, how Microsoft sucks, how smart people have moved on from the Xbox, blah blah blah.
Seriously. Go read your own comments. If you really really want, I have an infamously known nasty habit of being able to pick out some gems from peoples histories.
Nobody is getting screwed around here. Nobody. Its just another service being provided. Thats all. A service that apparently neither interests you nor you see the point of.
So whats the point of posting more than once in the same article, to more than one person, telling them how horrible of an idea this is and how the smart kids have already moved away from Xbox Live realizing its a big waste of money.
(also, o rly? How many free games do you think Sony will give you for system downtime? How many people have no problems creating online accounts and using hacks and mods because theres no repercussions? How many devs shy away from providing downloads and support because bandwidth costs money after the first few weeks of PSN release, as opposed to Xbox Live release, which costs nothing, forever? I recognize the benefits of PSN and Free Gaming for All, but to disregard Xbox Live as a big waste of money is stupid, and once again, not something you really have any judgement ability on it seems)
