The 'Right Way' to Play Stealth Games

[@white6505]

being able to replay missions is something assassins creed absolutely needs. one of the things that bother me the most in unity is that you cant replay paris stories.

[@TheMaudeth]

I hope in Shadows we get to replay missions. Even just the main ones.

On "true stealth games" that have a mission rating and were 100% intended to be Ghost-able (like Styx), I never allow a failure and always reload. But other games that have stealth as a feature, I don't mind living in the timeline that I got spotted, after all the post-detection gameplay is an intended part of the gameplay loop anyways. Quickly eliminating the threat and/or returning to stealth with techniques and tools. Some YT essayists have talked about this too.

As I've gotten older I've stopped savescuming. Now I actually end up using my guns and gadgets in games like Splinter Cell when I need to get out of a sticky situation.

[@TheMaudeth]

Yeah! I think being able to improvise during sticky moments and pulling it off enhances the stealth experience somehow

[@TheSupinesmokey]

@@TheMaudeth Your height sense of danger at being spotted after being detected is also part of the experience . You get scared all the guards will find you so you try quickly find a place to hide and take out the guard that saw you . There's a certain rush or thrill about it.

That‘s a good point I always reload, when I get spotted. This killdeer the illusions…

What Shadwen did is basically same thing that Prince of Persia The Two Thrones did (I know that Sands of Time and Warrior Within were earlier, but they had no stealth mechanics, while Two Thrones can be played stealthly most of the time). I have completely no idea why no other game wants you to have time rewind. I mean what's the problem with that? It's not going to be more overpowered than savescumming and at the same time it's way funnier.

[@TheMaudeth]

Right!? The rewind mechanic is so good for a stealth game. I wish some indie studio is doing something similar somewhere. Or maybe Shadwen 2?? :D

[@YerbaDelDiablo]

@@TheMaudeth Maybe Sands of Time Remake will have stealth mechanics, but I doubt it since original had none. Well let's just hope that maybe some developer will see this video and get inspired. Sadly afaik Shadwen developers didn't have any plans for Shadwen 2, but also I know that they didn't exlude potential sequel either, so maybe one day.

Ste-lth, not "stolth"

[@Tanui0]

1:02 What is that game?

[@TheMaudeth]

That's AC Valhalla lol. From the Ragnarok DLC

[@Louis.7493]

escape don't reload huh man you clearly haven't played PAYDAY 2

[@TheMaudeth]

oh haha. I have 30 hours in that game and yeah, no reloading there. Just have to shoot your way out lol

[@Louis.7493]

@@TheMaudeth try playing highest difficulty stealth at some bank job or something you'll see what i'm taking about
