mgs2 vs splintercell

I rather have no story than a stupid one, but maybe thats just me..

[Kane]

Yeah, the story of MGS2 si much thicker, but I feel so much more able to interect with the world in Splinter Cell. To put it simply, MGS2 feels more 'Arcade' and Splinter Cell feels more 'Sim'

that be true.
MGS2 is actually kind of a laugh if you take a serious look at the stealth part, but it's implemented very well, gameplay-wise.

C'mon! I don't think MGS2's story ain't THAT bad....

Who sez that it should be perfectly according to laws of Newton?

Splinter Cell (to me) is better than mgs 2, but I liked MGS 1 better than MGS2.

To me, story is always #1 in any game. Although I like MGS2 better than SC overall, I think the story of SC is very solid. I guess it's just a certain style that alot of members here at NGEmu don't jive with. It's not very imaginative or far-fetched, but that's the whole point. It's very realistic and that's what's interesting about it. All of Tom Clancy's stories are like that. Another thing about SC, is that ALOT of the details and side stories are learned through reading data sticks on the computer, so if you miss those, you're missing out on alot of depth.

I guess Konami is addressing these issues well with MGS3. Interactivity with environment and sim style gameplay is what I have seen in MGS3. I hope it doesn't dissappoint in the story department.

And Samor, do you think the menu system and overall presentation of Splinter Cell was better?

menu system? hm. not much difference, quality-wise.
overall presentation...both have a cool fmv intro, of course the cutscenes in MGS2 are kinda special. So I'd say in that case MGS2 has a slight lead over SC.

[Syed Fawad]

Slight? Oo

The dialogues are both well written and spoken in MGS2. Yes, IMO better... much better than that of SC.

Plus I always prefer realtime cut scenes over pre rendered FMVs (save that for FFX) and SC's FMV was not all that impressive. At least to me.

indeed, SC's fmv isnt really interesting (aside from the intro movie)
but we're talking overall presentation here; while indeed mgs2 does shine in the cutscenes, the overall graphical quality of sc is much better.
that's why I say, slight.

[Syed Fawad]

MGS2 came almost 2 years (?) before SC!

Still I liked MGS2's camera system.

no, 1. and substance was later, even.

[kuaikukia]

To be honest I prefer MGS2 cause of its good storyline (have a movie just like Final fantasy) and normal gameplay .Not like SC gameplay is so hard that makes you stress enough to have stroke .

[the Hulk]

Mgs2 falls behind splinter cell by graphics (mainly).Mgs2 doesn't have that good a story but c'mon its better then that of Sc.

I think the camera system is cinematic but it makes the view of the gam e limited. I do a lot of switching from top down view to 1st person view, that's not great.

But I think the camera system will change on mgs3 with the jungle setting and all, maybe Mr. Kojima taking hints from SC? I did read on gamers.com that he says that SC is a good game.

Well, he is definetly taking hints from SC. Did you see snake (or whoever that is) hanging from a branch with one hand and shotting with the other. That was quite "Fisher-like"

MGS is a legend.Splinter Cell is not all that.

[didamangi]

Why not turn this thread to a poll?

Good idea.
BTW I think Splinter cell should win.
