Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes vs Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is the highly anticipated fifth installment of the popular Metal Gear Solid game fracnhise and best yet, this is the first MGS title to offer complete gameplay freedom through its open world design. It still thankfully retains the best bits of its series, such as its stealth-heavy gameplay (but of course, you can opt to go in guns blazing if you wish), and an exciting central story mode along with plenty of side-ops missions. The player interface has been reworked as well to provide a more clutter-free design. Let's not forget about the game's incredibly immersive graphics and sound.Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is an excellent sequel to an excellent game series. However, if you're thinking - holy hell, they've made a PC version? Well, you should really know that the PC version is simply like a buy-to-play demo consisting of one map, one main mission along with 5 side missions, and 2 difficulty levels. Due to this, you might want to get the playstation version (full-game) instead.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the latest game under the Splinter Cell franchise and it is possibly the best one yet. As opposed to the more disappointing Conviction, Blacklist manages to combine the best of both the original and Conviction titles and added in all the features that players have complained the sequel lacked, including actual stealth-based gameplay where you can avoid an enemy instead of forcing you to engage him, as well as performing non-lethal takedowns.As usual, you'll have access to an arsenal of impressive gadgets which does make your job a whole lot easier, but this time around, certain unique enemies are able to counter your devices, forcing you to come up with new alternative plans rather than simply sticking to the "distract-and-take out" routine. This is very unlike Conviction where the gadgets had made the game too easy.
The storyline is also pretty good since the protagonist, Sam Fisher, now has free reign to do what it takes to take down a group of terrorists called The Engineers and their ultimate terror attack plan to launch escalating attacks on US interests around the world, codenamed Blacklist. Your mission? Flush out their leader and take him down.
Aside fromt he campaing, the game has cooperative missions that you can play with friends online as well. However, the servers have long since been taken down and thus, you either have to play those coop missions alone - it's possible, thankfully - or you can try LAN.
