Stealth games discussion

Hello

Thief series is pretty good, I think. Btw, in 2014 will be released "Thief" - reboot of the series.

Stealth:
There's an arrow sticking out of my head. 5 seconds later: I must be imagining things.

I love stealth games, but most I play are console exclusives. One you can look at is Alpha Protocol, which can be played as a stealth build.

I'm not really a stealth enthusiast but no doubt about it, I enjoy a good stealth game. I really love games like Hitman and FarCry where I can choose to be stealthy or go in guns blazing. One thing I really love in stealth games is how intense it gets. I remember playing the original Splinter Cell on gamecube. I would be sneaking slowly in the shadows, accidentally go a bit fast and the enemies nearby would come to see what it was. That was really intense how you're sitting in the corner as the enemy walks closer and closer to you as you hope that he stops and walks back.

I love stealth games. If the game gives me the option I'll always play stealthily. If I had to recommend a stealth game, I'd recommend the original Deus Ex. The real party begins once you get the cloak aug.

I used to play Super Mario the stealthy way!

Try Mark of the Ninja, it's really good!

This might sound a little silly, but my first Fallout 3 playthrough was a stealth one (high lockpicking stats too)

Try playing older Splinter Cell titles as well as older Hitman (notably Silent Assassin) and you'll see how real stealth looks like. These new titles are nothing (in terms of stealth) when compared to older titles.

I love the old school stealth games like thief and hitman, Dishonored looks like a dumbed down cheap version with the constant blinking etc.

Well, there aren't many stealth pure games out there, but I would say that Crysis series are stealthy if you wish to play it stealthy. Crysis 3 that was released this year has great stealth in it, it gives you a choice between stealth or mass massacre. It's the same element Deus ex HR had, you can play either the stealthy way or the "wild" way. But some games prefer you to play the stealthy way as they reward you much more if you play it in a stealth way. Hitman abso' was decent, I wouldn't say amazing or good because it had issues, but the point system was a pain in the ass, if they would add an option where you could remove it and play how you want it would be great.

This reminded me that I needed to add Gunpoint to my wishlist. Thanks! :D

Play the original Deus Ex. It's much better than HR.

Yeah I really like stealth games, Mark of the ninja is really good and inovative, DXHR is crazy fun I had a blast playing it, but splinter cell conviction wasn't bad, double agent was solid, but chaos theory is a masterpiece! I'm not sure if SC Blacklist will get to the chaos theory level, because it looks like a strange mix of conviction and simplified stealth from Chaos T. But all in all I enjoy stealth games and love to play every game {that offers a choice} in that way.

I think every game should have at least mild stealth elements if applicable, such as enemies not being able to know where you are at all times and such.
In general, I love stealth games and I loved the old MGS chapters, like the first MGS for PSX and Snake Eater later on. I'm still waiting for a survival sealth game worthy of its label.
