Current Events > 'Stealth level in non-stealth game'

(+) Yeah! (+)

1st game that came to mind?

Spotlights moving in predictable, easy patterns

Ocarina of Time, in the Gerudo Camp.

---

Zelda Breath of the Wild. Even though that game had a decent stealth system, the Yiga Clan Hideout was fucking awful. Easily the worst part of the game.

The first No One Lives forever had some brutal stealth levels. It was a FPS that didn't really give you the tools to sneak effectively, but if you got caught then the entire level would go on alert

But it did have a solid stealth system (solid enough), it just wouldnt let you use it outside of certain missions. Which I found very disappointing.

---

I really wish they would drop those from the Zelda games. They're always terrible. And with Wind Waker it's practically the first thing you do.

---

Triggerman. That level fuckin haunts me. No one will know what Im talking about and you're all better for it.

---

Portal

WW.

Chapter 13 in FF15 is cancer in its purest form to date.
---

Spider-man

It's the only reason I won't replay that game.

---

Uncharted

---

Uncharted 2

Also, platforming is probably a worse offender. You know, when it's an FPS or an RPG and there's the random platforming part and it's just the worst.

That's a good one. But if you did some of the bonus dungeons, that becomes very tolerable in comparison. There's a dungeon that is like 3 hours of platforming...yes, platforming in FFXV, and half the time you can't tell what you can land on. Then when you know, you have to make sure when you land, the character doesn't automatically stumble off it.

Suddenly, I just remembered why I abandoned Threads of Fate.

I mean... why would I do that to myself? When I beat the game I did the one or two things I was lacking to get the platinum trophy and I haven't even contemplated playing it since.

Honestly, Im puzzled as to how I put 130 hours into the main game. That's 70 hours after beating it >_>. I just couldn't stop popping it in. I see all the glaring issues with it.

I remember Life is Strange tried to do that. Man was episode 5 a disaster lol

I remember in Uncharted 1 they introduce stealth kills early on but you can almost never actually use them throughout the rest of the game. For some reason I think about that a lot, like it's a completely ignored mechanic.

---

@DeadBankerDream lol, I knew that was awkward. I just figured people would fill on the blanks. Wouldn't of been hard to say "Even tho, I see the glaring issues", tho. I'm dumb or lazy or both.

Even if you try, the obvious "arena" area triggers anyway.

Or, if you somehow succeed, the game glitches out and refuses to even load the next area until you go shoot all the "eeee's over heeeer!" dudes in that big open area with lots of cover that you bypassed somehow.

Bioshock Infinite, what with the recent topic.

literally Metal Gear Revengeance which didn't reward any more or less than simply going straight into a base and slicing up soldiers.

one of the castlevania lord of shadows games (or both/all of them)

I think combat levels in stealth games can be worse if done badly.
Like the metal gear solid series for the most part, though V made it a lot easier since you have actual combat weapons. Same with IV to an extent.

I have yet to understand the concept of stealth in MGR. At most you can kill 2 guys. But like, you can also kill 2 guys with a fucking parry on them so...

First game that came to my mind, fuck those stealth missions they aren't difficult I just want to play as Spiderman.

---

That level in The World is Not Enough where you sneak through the mansion and have to hide in Davidov's trunk

Fuck that level

Seems like it's mostly there for a flashy first strike and for a couple of irritating VR missions.

Although, it makes a couple of places easier on the higher difficulties.

these. stealth areas in Zelda are dumb but usually not too annoying

Yiga Hideout isn't that bad since they're really easy to distract

"Night Watch"
oh god, I can't believe I ever finished that level. it's a total crapshoot as to whether you get spotted or not

Zelda: OoT during garden in castle.

I liked the stealth in Spider-Man, assuming you're talking about Spider-Man PS4 or the first movie game, no comment on Amazing Spider-Man 1 or 2, though

Zelda games stealth isn't too bad. It's more like a very simple puzzle of "follow the guard", they don't really walk from their routes since from what I know, none of the games have a sound mechanic in the stealth sections
---

Yugioh: Reverse of Arcadia or whatever

---

ocarina of time but it was more like a segment

---

iirc, if you steath kill everyone in certain encounters, you dont get rewarded at all. In fact you get penalized

Final Fantasy VII

When sneaking pass the Shinra Guards

Came in to say this game. I could never do it and it would piss me off cause dude over the codec would give raiden shit about how he was supposed to be good at stealth. It was a specific mission and they wanted you to do this part stealthily as otherwise an alarm goes off and you end up fighting a lot more people as a result

COD4 All Ghillied Up.
Love that mission.

Love that mission.

now there's a topic, stealth missions in non-stealth games that don't suck

---

What I hate more is racing missions in non racing games. I kinda understand in gta games but I still hate those missions.
