I guess this has to take the spot of the longest opening sin ever

I'm surprised that you didn't sin the "choose your ending" of this game; at the end of it all, it sets up a situation where you can choose to kill Reed or not, implying that you get a different ending based on your choice. But.... nope. Choose to kill him, and Sam shoots him. That's it. End of story. Choose not to kill him, he laughs at you, and Grim shoots him. Again, that's it. End of story.

"Sniper shoots the informant to keep them from spilling instead of the hero they have a clear shot on" is a trope I really wish would die.

Open-world Splinter Cell is what they make you play in the Ninth Circle of Hell, all day every day.

Conviction doesn't feel like a Splinter Cell game, but it damn well feels like a John Wick game.

"The trash is where ubisoft finds most of their plots"...this line right here sums up almost every ubisoft game after far cry 3

I am now a member, because you did not forget about Splinter Cell. Ubi did.

Sin the original COD Modern Warfare trilogy. Maybe do the OG Black Ops games and World at war as well!

I used to speed run the demo version of this game trying to beat my own record. I loved this game to no end.

This man continues to make the first sin of his videos literary art

19:00 treyarch and ubisoft were definitely thinking Clinton would win, even before she announced her running lol

The only positive I can give this game is that at least they brought back Micheal Ironside

5:42 his feet are literally clipping through the floor

I would be sooo happy, if you could do a video about deadly premonition. It’s one of my guilty pleasures.

I'm gonna be hated a lot, but I think the best Splinter Cell is the last one, Blacklist, where you can have this predator-like Sam ultra action packed if you want, but with the hardests difficulty modes, a super demanding stealth game way closer to the older Splinter Cells than people might tell.

Biggest sin is that there hasn't been a new Splinter Cell for a minute....

Conviction is one of my all time favourite games personally. I absolutely adore the soundtrack.

still one of my favorite splinter cell games.

I really liked conviction...the co-op was sick too...

3:42 I mean, the man is physically active and in great shape. Makes sense to age better.

Ahhh nothing like a two-minute opening first sin in a dartigan video! I feel he's doing this on purpose more and more.

I mean I like your videos, and I agree with a lot of your points for this game. But come on, no sin removal for when Sam leaves the 3rd Echelon building?

Should sin all of the Splinter Cell games. At least we’d somehow get some SC content then

At this point when watching Dartigan videos, I'm always looking forward to the very first sin and the long diatribe that accompanies it!

Here's a sin you totally neglected about: Splinter Cell Conviction NEVER came out on PS3. It was a console exclusive for Microsoft in 2010, so Sony fans were forced to get that console in order to continue Sam's story, as Blacklist was released in 2013, 7 years after 2006's Double Agent came out on PS3, meaning they were missing a main title in between that was only released on the console they didn't own/didn't care for. Yeah, there was also the PC alternative where all the main entries minus the PSP one were released as well to remedy that, but console gamers were shafted 1 game out of the HD trilogy on PS3 while the X360 users can gloat all day, unlike the original trilogy which all 3 of the PS2/GameCube/Xbox consoles got it complete.

I'll admit this is the only game I've played out of the splinter cell series. It felt like the ghost recon games that are out now, you know what you are playing there is something missing that you know what it is but you dont understand why its missing

I think you really misunderstood the details about Sarah's fake death at the beginning, and are also guessing some things about black ops/agencies that are kinda wrong. But you raised some great points and also made me chuckle a couple times. Great work!

"There's really only one reason the VP would be scheming behind the president's back." Oh look, it's America 2021!

It's been a while since I last watched Dartigan. The writing's gotten sharper and sharper. Love it.

Despite everything people say about this game, I like it a lot, it's fun despite the stealth being so fucking baby like.

And you have famed Canadian character actor Michael Ironside voicing Sam Fischer.

i really do want them to make new splinter cell games or at the very least remaster the old ones. but the demand for theses games are pretty low. splinter cell became pretty niche even before black list or conviction came out

This channel is under rated. He has a much better voice that the other gaming sins channel.

I loved that game the first time I played. Years later watching this video makes it feel like it was written by Michael Scott.

UBISOFT should be treating Fisher more like a thief rather than a Rambo type. Also, ubisoft weren't happy with the loyal few million loyal fans, they wanted even more sales. Take a small budget, a small team & make old school linear splinter cell with new school mechanics. We also noticed that GR Breakpoint was a splinter cell game, but for some reason ubi has no confidence in SPLINTER CELL anymore. Can't wring every drop of money out of us in an old school game. SPLINTER CELL is loved & missed.

I’ve always thought Blacklist was the perfect compromise between this and the original splitter cell games. Particularly in how they allowed you to plan your movements and take out lights along the way and how quickly you could go from takedown to movement to objective. You felt like a badass while still requiring skill to succeed.

Dartigan has a point. Why is this about Sarah? Unless she has som sort of electronic that is vital to keeping her alive like a pace maker or a portable insulin pump ect. The EMP wont even affect her. This game is dumb

Great video m8, you never disappoint

Damn the opening sin was long as hell. Also, do Wolfenstein Old Blood.

This man sounds exactly like a robot and he is so funny he should just keep doing this is the best sins (not really when he did Far Cry 5 that was the best one) no wonder he is my favorite KZfaqr

Hitman Absolution next time.

God damn I'm getting motion sickness from these cut scenes. It looks like this was filmed on a phone

Sin:40 I think Lambert kept his daughter's death a secret so Sam would stay motivate on accepting his mission in Prison to Become a double agent.

I just love the snake reference. Man that was the time. Ubisoft is never gonna create another character like Sam.

God fucking dammit i dont know why but when the bad guy rosted the president i was drinking water and fucking laughed , I almost drowned myself.

You should show a sin on average every how many minutes at the end

Still a great game, if and when Ubisoft finally gets off their ass and makes another splinter cell game I hope it is at least as good as chaos theory or blacklist

I'm pretty sure EA would stop being greedy and make a genuinely good sports game before Ubisoft bothers with doing with the Splinter Cell IP besides putting Sam Fisher in literally anything but a new game.

I forgot this game existed. Thanks for reminding me of that horrible experience. I forgot it for a reason😑.

can we admit that in the first flashback he just clipped through th floor

4 navy seals coming out of a bar sound like that wrestling story of Shawn Michael

How about sinning the saboteur? Or Hitman blood money? Between wolfenstein and absolution though, definitely the latter

This is like the 8th Splinter Cell Conviction related content since last month and I own this game.....

I have been waiting for this since I watched your first game sins video all those years ago. It was worth the wait.

11:24 - 11:26 : I was soo waiting for Dart to comment "If only this had been said to Ubisoft at a board meeting before finalizing this narrative."

In case you're similar to me but less patient, he starts talking about the gameplay after 4 minutes. So, yes, there is talk about the important mistakes. It's mostly about the story, however.

To be honest, I think it would pay credit to Ubisoft, if they returned to the Splinter Cell format and drop the open worlds for a while. Last Ubi Open World I actually enjoyed exploring was Far Cry 5 and New Dawn's Hope County. Assassin's Creeds worlds have gotten so massive that most of them get unexplored due to those who just wanna play the story. And the recent Watch Dogs Leigon London Map was kinda boring to explore in as it was openly futuristic. I was hoping it would be a city based on our modern day London. Not all this hologram BS and a bloody shopping mall in Battersea. And God knows how big Far Cry 6 will be given the subject matter of South America, it'll be really annoying if the whole country sector is explorable. Maps are just overly big nowadays with nothing much to do. So please god Ubisoft, go back to Linear Stories.

Definitely not the best Splinter Cell game, but I love it nonetheless.

The reason Sam feels it's so vital to stop the EMP near Sarah: Have you ever seen a woman without her phone now?! They enter their Final Form.

Michael Ironside doesn't give a single shit about this role anymore and it's hilarious to see.

I enjoyed the Tom Clancy Rainbow Six Book heavily detailed and slow but overall great

I loved conviction so much.

Only sin I have a problem with is the keyboard electrical execution... my mother's computer was acting up so I turned it off and when I was unplugging it to take to fix it, the problem showed itself in the form of an electrical arc that both hurt when I came to and scared me making me jump thus knocking myself out by smacking my head off the bottom of the desk... I think my face was still making a connection because my brother got shocked as he dragged my dieing ass out from under the table.... point being electricty is a fucking bitch, and can jump to other devices.

I think I'm the only person who loves this game! I never could get into the other Spinter Cell games prior to this one, but this one is perfect, simple and makes a lot of sense, you have Sam as a retired badass showing that he doesn't need his toys to destroy the bad guys! The story and setting feels like a mix of Taken with Olympus has Fallen! I thought the idea of putting the text and interrogation videos on the environment was genius as it felt way more immersive than having it as a pop up text on hud or having to interrupt the gameplay! Also the mechanic to auto shoot was pretty cool and you only refil those by stealth killing bad guys, so you have to stealth kill to be able to auto shoot and the auto shoot felt really bad ass! Blacklist improved a lot on the gameplay aspect, got more complicated with more toys and had a crappier story. Both are awesome games IMO, but Conviction is still on my top favorite games along with Alan Wake and the Uncharted series.

Watching how Sam moves, takes cover and fires in this, and I see where The Division and Watchdogs gots its from. In all their horrible jankiness

Whenever I hear Michael Ironside all I can see is Michael Ironside. Very immersion breaking

just what to say at the moment grim shot Sam the game I was playing said "Oh look a weapon"

Wow! Now that was a cool intro!

What can you expect when the game director was Máxime Beland, someone who didn't played any Splinter Cell game in his entire Life.

Grim is Icelandic and has a perfect American Accent

The only splinter cell i didn't love was blacklist, and that's really only because the voice was changed.

Are you going to do Everything Wrong with Mafia: Definitive Edition?

0:20 Yes, very sad... whilst chaos theory is my favorite i did enjoy conviction and managed to enjoy blacklist as well... but that was 8 years ago...

I liked the co-op mode. Played the crap out of that.

That's the first sin that is so long that i don't want to talk about it. *Ding*

As a guy who likes fast paced shooters like COD i also love stealth games and spliter cell is one of my favorites

Dropped everything as soon as I got the notification

The way they made this game it looks like Sam is being followed by a camera crew like he's on a reality show

As flawed a Splinter Cell Conviction is in its narrative and abandonment of traditional Splinter Cell gameplay , it was a fun game to play back then. I would even argue this is the best John Wick game before John Wick was a thing. While Conviction is not a good Splinter Cell, it has qualities that I'm sure could be used in the future. Different game, different name. All it needs.

5:42 You flashed back into a glitch through the floor👀

I always thought it was weird how Megiddo wasn't mentioned again in Blacklist, literally all they had to was say the villain of that game was hired by Megiddo, further setting up another SC game, but since it's impossible to make an always-online open world world game out of Splinter Cell, the only representation we get from that franchise anymore is cross overs, I recently played the Ghost Recon Breakpoint crossover, man what a let down, at the very least we have Michael Ironside playing him again but he needs his own solo game again, maybe with him training an upstart and him stepping back into the mentor role.

I rewatch this a lot.

*Hitman Absolution* next, please.

A EMP blows off, an ad pops up. Wait, wait, wait. Is this a coincidence? Again, that's a sin. *ding*

So, basically, Sam has become Jack Bauer. I thought this was Splinter Cell, not 24: The Video Game.

You didn’t even remove a sin for Sam’s auto-mark rampage at Third Echelon

Creators of this game really thought that Hillary would be a President? That's a good one... XD

I hope you get round to looking at Splinter Cell Blacklist one of these days. Would love to see your take on it.

This game is the peak of the entire Splinter Cell franchise. A true masterpiece, whose legacy was completely ditched for a stillborn mutant like the Blacklist

Great content been waiting for this hope you continue the series

Splinter Cell has to go back to the original stealth games. Same with Ghost Recon going back

“Looking for me, @$$hole!”

... I wonder how he feels about the "storm the whitehouse" sin now...

I heard someone describe this game as being made for a member of a royal family, as everything is done for you.

plot armor dose amazing things it stops electricity make you have fall proof damage and also seems to spread to other friend to to main character can get shoot 100 times and come back stronger if only we could get this plot armor to it could save people

My favorite Splinter cell is conviction . I kinda suck at being stealthy so i played other splinter cells similar to conviction even when conviction wasn't a thing.

Why isn't John Clark and Sam Fischer in the same universe? In the books and the game.

I can't help but hear Darkseid.

I like the metal gear solid reference

Chaos theory was the best splinter cell and one of the best stealth game ever made.
