Git gud faggot

>>15569833

Shitposting aside, stealth games can get pretty inventive when it comes with ways to avoid detections, but are really fucking clumsy when it comes to what happens when you do get detected.

I didn't miss anything, right? At least, everything in the OP is what I can think of that's been released since 2013.

The only games I'd rate at least a 7/10 or higher would be

Alien: Isolation

Assassin's Creed Unity

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Dishonored 2

Ghost of a Tale

Hitman (2016)

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Styx: Master of Shadows

Most people would consider Alekhine's Gun to be the worst game mentioned in the OP.

Is the new Hitman 2 really the only thing coming up soon? Wish Ubisoft would announce a new Splinter Cell already. I completely forgot about Splinter Cell Blacklist. Should've added that to the OP. Not like it was a great game or anything but it came out in 2013. Could've sworn Blacklist was a 2012 release. My mind is getting foggier with age.

>>15569879

I dunno anon, Hitman is pretty bad or at least in my experience. The one I played had disguises, but not a single one mattered and you'd be spotter from halfway across the room and have to restart a 30 minute mission.

>>15569871

All three of you? Gee

>>15569896

Wasn't going to mention this, but Blacklist had at least one decent thing: the survival map. Sneaking around and taking out 25 dudes in a round is nerve wracking but when you do it you want to high five someone.

>>15569871

>without conflict

That's pretty gay

>>15569919

If you haven't tried it I highly suggest going for 100% in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory as that offers the best "ghosting" experience. That's where I got addicted to the concept and now I try to do it in every game I play.

>>15569833

>take them out

giga casual confirmed.

>>15569983

Personally I never encountered that problem with splinter cell. Lights illuminate just fine, now you could maybe argue that areas are less illuminated than they would be in real life… but it's also a video game. Chaos Theory also had plenty of moments where you had to sneak around in full light. For me Splinter Cell is much more about it's movement engine, getting just the right speed going while being perfectly quiet is very satisfying and there are always plenty of interesting ways through levels (at least in Chaos Theory).

>>15569813

>Anything else?

Sir, you are being hunted

nuObsidian might re-release Alpha Protocol soon

>>15569896

> Hitman is pretty bad or at least in my experience. The one I played had disguises, but not a single one mattered and you'd be spotter from halfway across the room and have to restart a 30 minute mission

You played the worst game in the series "Hitman Absolution", it's like Conviction of Hitman series or even worse.

Try Hitman 2016 and Blood Money

>>15569983

>how did you clear granin's lab?

I used scientist disguise and cardboard box. Not even tried complete it witnout scientist disguise, but it might be possible.

>>15569813

The only good stealth game is thief, every other game is just hiding in the middle of nowhere because the game says it's dark. Chaos theory is only good when you cant just hide in the designated invisibility spots, but that's just half of around one third of the levels

>>15569813

out of that list i'd say sniper elite 4, quality game to chill out, levels can take really long

Shadow Tactics is a recent stealth game which has similar gameplay to Commandos, which the developers are currently making totally not Shadow Tactics in the wild west: Desperados 3 but there was already a Desperados 3 called Helldorado, so really it's confusing but Desperados is a Commandos clone but in the wild west.

Why Unity or syndicate? its basically AC with terrible Witcher like combat

>>15570160

> its basically AC with terrible Witcher like combat

Nah that's AC Origins and AC Odyssey.

Unity and Syndicate were two of the more stealth oriented games in the entire AC franchise since there were a bunch of assassination missions where you could plan out your attack and there were some unique kill opportunities.

Although AC Syndicate was pretty trash. There was one assassination mission in sequence 7 that was just linear hallways and nothing else.

radeon r7 360 series

I'm currently banned, this is why my id has changed.

>>15570949

Damn, you're about the same as me.

How did you get the game to run that fast? What settings do you use?

>>15570957

I mean for PCSX2 for MGS3.

Just finished Ghost of a Tale.

Pros:

>short, even if you want to do all quests

>characters & graphics are charming, writing is sweet and has nice details

>good at piquing curiosity and answering questions with decent exploration and pacing

>it's got some worldbuilding if you're into that

>wearing full costumes changes dialogue

Cons:

<tiny budget shows up frequently, with poor sound design near the end and some jank in the graphics, but that's not a big deal

<stealth is negligible, enemies become more a slight inconvenience at worst once you realise you can just run past anything

<piss easy, nearly impossible to die

<collecting and quests give you XP which levels you up, making the easy game even easier as it progresses with more health and stanima

<i hope you like collect-a-thons, nigger

<some collecting quests can't be done until certain story progress is made with no indication, but aside from the end quests they won't cut you off from anything

All in all, 5/10 in terms of gameplay because the controls and mechanics weren't bad, just the implementation. It definitely feels like it was consolized at some point and boy, does this game suffer for it.

I only played the first Splinter Cell as a kid, and it was one of my favourite games of all time. Apparently Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory are better, so I'm excited to play them sometime. Are there any games similar to that playstyle? Styx seems pretty good to me.

>>15570268

It's sound engine has yet to be replicated. Haven't seen a stealth since to use sound as a way to navigate and locate enemies like Thief. Every nowadays have bullshit X-ray-vision.

>>15570992

Your settings are good except for one. Enable INTC Spin Detection. It should help a lot. I'm on an i5-4690k 3.5Ghz and an R9 290. It doesn't even lag during cutscenes, but if I disable that option it does. Also make sure you use the latest build.

Burger King: Sneak King (2006)

>>15574325

>garbage fire

SJW detected

Sly 4 was alright but was far too easy and the last boss was shit. Otherwise it was great. I wouldn't say those two problems ruin the whole game.

You know themed would work well with the stealth genre? a porn game where you're a sexy alien/mutant luring people to their doom in bed and infecting them to spread the virus.

>>15569813

Or you have to sneak out the house before the husband catches you and kills you.

MGS V is shit.

>>15576568

The Animus, precursor bullshit being brought in so early into the series, and the lack of games where you play as Templars is what killed the series for me. Only way I might ever be able to enjoy the games again is if they finally decide to go to Japan for the Templar ninjas that everyone wants. But I'm sure that will never happen because Asia wasn't diverse enough in skin color, so it would be far too obvious when they start putting niggers and trannies everywhere.

>Asscreed

The fuck is this faggot shit? You all have to go back.

Hitman multiplayer mode

>>15577458

AssCreed Unity can be pretty fun if you turn off a lot of the HUD. It's the closest AssCreed has gotten to being good.

>>15578135

gameplay

>>15576711

Only Ground Zeroes. You can't hide bodies, you can't ghost and 90% of missions are call of duty tier.

>>15575265

i actually liked fucking about in the hub on thi4f, also liked the mansion mission and bank dlc

it could be decent with the right difficulty options selected but yeah, didn't touch the first two

>>15578178

>>15580632

Looks pretty entertaining actually.

>>15581982

It would've been stealthier to sage.

Mark of the Ninja is legit one of the best stealth games I've ever played. It's actually fun to GHOST, which is almost never the case…

Alien Vs Predator 2 was one of the few multiplayer games I've ever played where stealth was a factor, and a fun one at that, though more in the "ambush marines" sense…

Play the new Styx title. it focuses on our stealth and the levels are massive.

>>15569813

The dark mod

stealth is for pussies

>>15581398

Ground Zeroes is better than Phantom Content, both are inferior to a fucking PSP game, Peace Walker.

Kill yourself immediately

>>15590816

Lol.

>>15590881

Hilarious, enjoy your "Fulton nameless fuck #87" and "fulton this car #120"

Who's your favorite MGSV character? I'm torn between "CIA agent" and "Malak"

Can't help but think that Malak was planned to be more important, after all, he's the only character to have a real name, something not even Soviet lieutenant colonel or the famous Viscount have.

>>15590904

You are retarded.

>>15581398

>you can't ghost Ground Zeroes

this meme again, I saw that opinion here a long time ago, it seems like you're still buttblasted. I posted this video back then but it seems you chose to ignore it.

There's more to a stealth game than pure ghosting. If a game is 95% ghostable and has incredible level design a mechanics, is it worse than a forgettable game that it's fully ghostable?

Ghosting fags literally killed the genre. Back then you could play it however you wanted to and you didn't had autists wanting to impose you a way of playing. But the first ones started to appear, devs started to cater to them and designed their games for ghosting, which resulted in shit level design. In games like Thief, Deus Ex or Chaos Theory a pure ghosting run wasn't in the mind of the developers, so it made ghost runs a lot more fun and inventive since you have to circumvent a lot of situations prepared to engaging with the enemy. That's the irony right there, the games without autist ranks/EXP at the end of the level not only provided freedom of style but also provided more satisfactory ghost runs, while games designed around ghosting feel boring and sterile. Ground Zeroes/TPP is a good example of that dichotomy, where the first needs inventive solutions to ghost, while the second is a lot more obvious and straightfoward. But since GZ didn't "reward" the player with an arbitrary bonus rank, retards think the game can't be ghosted. You have to go back.

>>15590912

Not nearly as retarded as Kojimatrones.

>>15590952

>while the second is a lot more obvious and straightfoward. But since GZ didn't "reward" the player with an arbitrary bonus rank, retards think the game can't be ghosted. You have to go back.

TPP doesn't reward ghosting, it rewards going as fast as possible.

The only criteria required for S rank is score, and it so just happens that fast times reward more points than ghosting.

In peace walker S rank was available only if you had no alerts, no kills, time below a threshold and when applicable QTE accuracy of 100%

>>15590990

>>15590952

It wouldn't be so bad if TPP had level design for ghost autists, problem is, it doesn't have level design

AT ALL

Copypasted tent, 2 watchtowers, sometimes pieces of an antique wall isn't "level design"

>>15590990

>TPP doesn't reward ghosting, it rewards going as fast as possible.

tbh any no traces rank will earn more points than going 2fast2furious even with perfect stealth. But yeah speed has always had a lot of importance for japanese devs. It's pretty easy to get an S-Rank in TPP though, even with kills and taking some time, as long as you don't use reflex and don't get caught

>>15590994

well that's what I'm saying, that guy prefers TPP because it's "ghostable" even though it's a complete letdown of a game and Camp Omega is peak level design for a stealth game.

I'm guessing that he's going to say that GZ isn't ghostable because guards get alerted that Paz is missing, which is the most stupid thing ever, the only difference with other ghost runs is that you're seeing the consequence of your actions in-game. Maybe he thinks that stealing absolutely everything in Thief will go unnoticed afterwards, or capturing a high-ranked official in TPP for that matter.

>>15591071

I've re-read your previous post, and just realized that you said GZ can't be ghosted because you can't hide bodies, if you're ghosting why do you have to hide bodies? you don't even have to knockout the enemies. If you engage with the enemy in any form that's not ghosting, lmao. I guess you're going by the nu-deus ex definition of """"""""ghosting""""""""". Your views are discarded, pleb.

>>15591106

so will you care to comment on the video I posted? isn't that "ghosting"? what is ghosting according to your definition? what ghosting rules does that video break?

>>15591116

Okay, I was very wrong about GZ (main mission).

Is Velvet Assassin any good anons?

>>15598427

no

>>15570268

Thief 1 was flawed, no shit, still better than 90% of stealth games that have come out the past 5 years.
