With the big bold headline:
"Celebrate liberty by pre-ordering Splinter Cell: Conviction"

O! irony, thou art a clever servant - but a harsh master.

The video I watched of someone playing the demo, the game looks like garbage from a gameplay perspective. Pretty much 1 button killing a room of guys and even outlines of yourself where the enemies last saw you. Oh, and the freaking messages appearing everywhere to tell you what to do. Talking about making it so freaking easy a retard could play it while falling down ice skating.

Video in question I watched: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/warehouse-infiltration-splinter-cell/63413

is this a training mission or maybe the player has it on super easy? you can't judge the game by 1 video that explains nothing.

Go watch some other gameplays videos it is all the same. Soon you take a person out in stealth you get to do the execute move where the red mark shows up above their heads and you queue up the people to kill and hit a button and it is automatically done.

I didn't make my judgments off of one video, but the video I posted illustrates everything that is retarded about this game.

I only watched maybe a minute of that video and it looks like garbage.
First of all, what the hell is up with the character? His movements looked retarded and just...wrong. Second, that noise when killing someone would piss me off, and how the hell did the guards not see him? This is supposed to be a stealth game? Third, which I guess coincides with two, this looks too easy.

Yes, this is in line with everything I've read about this game so far. It seems that it will be nothing like the previous SC games. I guess Ubisoft decided that they were too hard for the casual gamer. That execute move practically makes the game play itself. :p
