This is the only actual gameplay I've seen of this game amongst all the hate reviewing lol, and I have to say, I wish I hadn't seen it. This is like 2005 level basicness. Great vid dude. EDIT: LOL the Elden Ring gameplay halfway through hahahaha killed me

[@GamingExploits]

Haha I appreciate the kind words man! And I do agree with the 2005 comment!

[@ohamatchhams]

2005-level of basicness? Bruh, even Splinter Cell Chaos Theory & Double Agent which released around those timeframes have waaay harder aesthetics, themes, storytelling, designs, sound designs, animations, stealths/actions scenes, enemy AIs, general programming and designs, on top of many more, it's kinda insulting to compare this to the Splinter Cell games and MGS3 + Portable Ops (not to mention MGS3 has excellent female characters' designs, personalities and story thematics to mesh and blend well together for the intended audiences that can grow proper from there)

[@stanley13579]

Here's my review of Unknown 9, if anyone is interested: "This game stars a character who, miraculously, is in a video game. The first thing you will notice is that you do actually play the whole game as this character, and for a select few people, this will not be a problem. The game plays like a lucid dream where you are running and stumbling around with no pants on, trying to catch something you can't see. Your failure to catch that thing in your dream results in fluish, cold sweats, anxiety, and the constant desire to have pants, so the people in your dream can't see your pale, cold buns. Once you have finally gotten the hang of the controls, you will realize the game is still going. This will result in the flu-like symptoms to return, as you pause the game, and get up to walk around a bit. Fortunately, at the 5-hour mark, you realize that things have improved - you realize you don't actually have to turn the game back on. Playing this game on your current settings will ensure that the game runs in frames-per-second, with a draw-distance, textures, and animations. This game was very designed, programmed, and is completely unburdened by pesky incentives, like satisfaction. Upon completing the game, you will find out exactly how much drain cleaner someone can stomach before drifting off." 9/700. Would recommend to prison inmates.

[@GamingExploits]

“9/700 would recommend to prison inmates” should be something IGN uses from now on 😂😂

Fun fact in the original production they were only going to make the main bad guys white men. But people were like what’s going on here, so they quickly made some changes lol 😂 man I swear

[@GamingExploits]

Is that true? 😂 holy crap

[@TheShorterboy]

yeah that would fit, it looked like the latest brown saviour media where Whitey is always the bad guy and only darky is good and smart

[@psibug565]

So the beginning of this game is a bit like Stellar Blade where you follow someone. Except in Stellar Blade you’re following your Squad Leader Taki through a battle field filled with mutants while everything is blowing up or on fire. Taki looks a bit better than generic game character’s Mum version ‘5’ as well. While having attractive characters is not as important as the game play but It said “we eat with our eyes”. It’s hard to enjoy a meal that looks like dog food and this game looks a gaming version of a Dog’s Dinner! Stellar blade, Hogwarts Legacy and Elden Ring all have something in common other than being great games. They are visually appealing with fantastic looking world and character design.

[@GamingExploits]

[@Yadlina]

dunno what everyones fetish is with stealth games. i hate that mechanic. give her a gun and it could be a pretty game. but this is stupid.

[@GamingExploits]

I grew up playing MGS and Splinter Cell and loved them, but when games like this shoehorn “stealth” in, it feels gross

[@The_Sodbuster]

Woman would rather stab an enemy in the back, from the shadows. Men confront, and overcome.

[@TARMHeLL]

I like stealthing through a mission. Listening to gaurds bickering, getting in and out without anyone knowing. Like hitman, getting the kill without any evidence coming back to me is the best. But games should be built around the mechanic. If you are a superhero who can tank an army, stealth is unnecessary.

[@TARMHeLL]

​@ronnievaughn1257 women usually poison them. Stabbing in the back, traps and ambushes is how wars are fought against larger foes. Something American men have done for years.

[@glens2019]

It's to tack on shallow "muh gameplay options." Go all in like Thief or MGS or don't bother at all. I always hate when games treat stealth gameplay as an optional handicap instead of an actual necessity.
