Splinter Cell Blacklist anybody?

Anybody else get it? I bought it today.

Man...

Such an improvement over Conviction and I haven't even played it but for 30 minutes.

No Ironside = no Sam Fisher = No Splinter Cell (for me).

They should have tried it with a complete new agent, since after a decade of Ironsides iconic voice I am unable and unwilling to accept a new "Sam Fisher" - there is only ONE Sam!

Also, I wait for a couple of reviewers I trust and then evaluate if I might get it non the less and imagine it is something else but "Splinter Cell", kinda what I did with Rainbow Six: Vegas.

Another problem for me is my sincere wish to boycott Ubicrap for ever and ever for their stupid and disrespectful actions towards fans/customers in the last couple of... wow... for a decade now.

That's my only major gripe with the game so far.

The only minor gripe so far is the controls. They completely changed them from Conviction so I'm running around throwing grenades when I mean to couch and stuff.

Since I had the opportunity to grab it for 18€, I could not resist any further. I gotta say, I am positively surprised by many features, yet some others are kind of a let down (crappy MP match making for example).

Sam isn't Sam anymore, but apart from that, it's pretty tits!

I was also positively surprised.

If you can get around the fact that Sam isn't the way he used to be and will never be that way again, it's a great game.

They put some Stealth back into Splinter Cell here.

Yesterday, me and my friend sat back and did all of the Briggs missions, and some of the other Co-Op missions. I give the Co-Op itself at least a 4.5/5

Other than Sam complaints, I wish they'd take the new Grim and put the old voice into her. That'd be perfect.

Vic is okay...and at least they more or less left Kobin the same.

*still regretting the end of Double Agent* Why couldn't they keep the crack team of characters?

Annas voice is different? I did not even notice.
The reason... or the two reasons... might be in this picture:
