MGS2 focused heavily on fast paced stealth and it was great.
-----------------
But 100% stealth, and zero action can get boring
True, when you dev a stealth game you have to allow for screw ups and fighting, a small 2-4 button QTE or combination system or coherent combat system to kill "active" enimes would be something you would need...badly..
The Forced stealth bits on Call of Juarez(cheap game with some innovation here and there) were very annoying, look at Dark Messiah(loved it superior AI than FO3/BS, great if quirky melee combat, yes story/dialog sucks but for me story/dialog<game play ALWAYS) or any of its shooter focused counterparts that have vaguely semi intelligent AI (Fear,far cry,ect) if you alert the area the AI in the immediate area will come and look around, I found those fights much more thrilling than oh sht I messed up now I am dead by the forced rules of the game.
At least give me the chance to rectify my mistake plus finishing off the random one or 2 that's limping off for more help, do all that in a fight while chaotic I revel in it , the on the rails kill this guy then quickly kill the next 3 without being seen is passe, I'd rather have a MGS like system where they send in 2-4 guys and or summon a sniper(unlike MGS's lemmings unlimited ) or something else than arbitrary rules of the game that limit how you play to a couple linear choices.
I forgot did Turok allow you to go into a QTE in knife mode regardless if they knew you were there?
I didn't care much for what they did with the game it did have a couple neat things loved the knife and a couple of the weapons but it was mostly boged down in to much pathetic realism but at least not on the same sale of the likes Quake 4 and Doom3....
the rants they never end with me ><

Out of that huge post this is what i wanna reply to.
Man that fucking sneaking shit made as much sense as including stealth in half life or unreal tournament. It had nothing to help him be stealthy, you just had to walk by the enemy without shooting. Play the game without having fun until you reach the other character.
What the fuck is up with those retards? I understand gayspot sucking dick but normal people putting up with this shit?
The ONLY guy who didn't like it got thumbed down by a whole lot.
My god man, video games are dying. Or actually, are turning into a "copy paste" business. That's it. This is all we'll ever get. Nothing will evolve anymore.
Retards will be happy playing the same shit over and over. And at least if it was a GOOD copy job. But not even that, just some lousy shit.
"yeah, the kids nowadays can't get enough of ww2 and stealth games and apparently chicks so...let's just stick them together and those brain dead idiots will accept it"
Me?? Ranting? Yes, yes i fucking am.

Charming things? These people are probably paid by the game developer to put this shit up there since they know their game sucks.

puk, i read that same topic. Some homo fag said something that only 12 year old kids with ADD can't enjoy this game because they have no patience.
Or something like that. I wanted to tell him I only have patience for the long blow jobs his mom give me but I have a feeling the shit moderators would mind. You can't say anything there. You could only be an asshole if you agree with the game. If you god forbid DON"T like a game then you are a troll.

Ya it's not worth my time to go through the long load times on that site to reactivate my account. I might even have a full ip ban at this point.
There are so many filters on that site, that it makes me wonder if Rupert Murdoch is calling the shots
if you criticize too much, the mods remove your post(s)
if you criticize a little bit, fanboys start screaming at you, claiming u are a troll.

What's really annoying is those people on there who think they are intellectually superior to you b/c they don't explode like all the other members, instead they make ass backward comments like

of course, then there's the time honoured "you just don't know how to play"

My fav shit is the MUST HAVE anti pirate topic in every game forum.
Every time there has to be some dude claiming PIRATES are killing his beloved game and shit like that.
In conclusion velvet assassin is ass and gayspot sucks cock.

No but it really bothers me when there is an army of dudes who claim that the game is average when it's anything but.
Like Far Cry 2 (one of the rare cases where the game sucked so badly, that there was some modest organization of users who blasted the game). I can't count the number of times I heard people say "the game isn't that bad"...The fuckin game gave me motion sickness.

What I meant was that unless they make a vegetarian oriented game, and Suislide reviews it, he won't comment on it.
Yes, your friends are cheap and far cry 2 made you sick. I know you better than I know myself.
I found Far Cry 2 incredibly mediocre, no point to play. But the FUCKING WEIRD thing about it is that not 100% of people called BULLSHIT on the name. The only thing it has in common in Far Cry 1 is that it's in the same genre, FPS. Yeah yeah, it's meh but where the fuck is the "far" or the "cry"? My question makes no sense, exactly like the sense it makes to call that game...Far Cry 2. It should have been called "A boring sand simulator FPS with no previous game behind it...cry"

I really don't know what's wrong with the kids over at far cry.
Seriously, if the management at Gamespot wanted to, they could use that massive army of zombies to take over the pentagon. All they have to do is tell them that the secretary of defense crticized some game, and the kids would demand the president fire him else he'd have a full fledged insurrection on his hands.

Well, pirates cannot kill an existing game (except with respect to its support) but it would seem obvious that they can prevent a successor from coming onto the market.

I'm not even gonna go into that anymore. PC piracy is like religion. No point to argue, you either believe or not. Nobody would be convinced to change their mind.

If you just yell that the game sucks you cannot be expected to be taken seriously anywhere, I would think. It does not seem too much to ask to explain why the game sucks (unless everyone agrees with you of course or it is completely obvious to everyone that the game sucks).
Simply yelling that a game sucks without providing anything to back that up is like yelling "vegetarianism sucks" in a discussion about the ins and outs of vegetarianism. That is generally considered 'trolling'.

The only exception being Stalin vs Martians.
You can say "this game is shit" and it can be taken as a scientific researched response.

I do not understand why you cannot argue about it. In the example you give it is used as an argument by what seems to be console fanboys for bashing PC gaming. These are trolls and are not to be taken seriously.
But it is a matter of simple economics (supply and demand): products that are not profitable will not be put on the market. It would seem hard to argue with that.
But you can argue about questions like whether piracy really hurts game sales, since there is no way to tell if a pirate would have bought the game if he had not had the opportunity to pirate it.
