What's the point of being quiet when you just trigger scripted ambushes anyway?[/quote] In SoF1, you didn't HAVE to play stealthily. If a mafucka got in yo face, you streit JACKED his ass, nahmean? In SoF1, all an ambush meant was more limbs for the severing. In SoF2, early on you have to navigate a good part of a level without so much as being seen, or FUCK YOU GAME OVER.[/quote] Why on fucking Earth does SoF, a game founded on mindless, bloody carnage, have to gay it up by throwing in stealth aspects? Ever since Thief, it's been the hot gay trend to cram this crap into your game, whether it fits or not, because all the other popular games are doing it. Problem: NO GAME SINCE THIEF HAS GOTTEN IT RIGHT. Shit, it was even kind of dodgy in the Thief games once you discovered you could just go nuts with the sword and beat the level in one-fourth of the time. Stealth = slow, tedious, and boring. I'm surprised they didnt put it into Enter the Matrix; it already has out of place driving and sniping sequences. Every shooter game MUST contain a sniper rifle! Put the slow, meticulous craft of sniping into a fast paced action game, thanks guys. Less lining up the shot and more kung fu please.[/quote] I'm currently stuck on the NOLF2 level where you have to sneak around the palace without being seen. It's probably not even hard, but at this point I'm thinking FUCK YOU GUYS THIS ISN'T FUN ANYMORE. The problem with mandatory stealth in games is that you don't get peripheral vision. It's kind of interesting from an immersion standpoint, since the stealth aspect draws you in to a point, but then the fact that you can't see in a 180-degree field rockets you back into reality. I'm getting pretty fucking tired of getting caught be people that are sneaking up on me from my right and left.[/quote]
