I have read your excellent post. This is a great job. I have enjoyed reading your post first time.

How is Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory not No. 1 or even on this list?

Chocoburger2108d ago (Edited 2108d ago )

Should Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory be on the list? Yes.
Should it be ranked at #1? No.

I didn't expect to see the Last of Us though, at #1. I know it has stealth elements, but I wouldn't call it a stealth game since the stealth mechanics are very shallow. Its more a standard action game with the ability to couch-walk, which isn't enough to consider a part of the 'stealth genre'.

There's no Metal Gear Solid 2 on the list which is strange. I thought we've finally gotten over all the Raiden hate by now?

Gaming1012108d ago

MGS3 isn't on the list. It has the greatest stealth based boss battle of all time, against The End.
MGS Peace Walker is better than a lot of the titles on the list as well. Chaos Theory would have been better had you actually been able to see something, it was either pitch dark 99% of the game or you had to play the entire thing with a green screen night vision goggle view, which looked horrible after a while as it didn't allow the graphics to really show off. I'm sure on PC you could adjust it and mod the lighting but it was just too dark to see anything.

Chocoburger2108d ago

WOW! I didn't notice the lack of MGS3! It's my favorite of the series and in my top 3 favorite games of all time. This list is bunk.

Movefasta19932108d ago

chaos theory is easily number 1. tlou isn't a stealth game.

digitalkid2108d ago (Edited 2108d ago )

TLOU and Guns Of Patriots as #1 and №3 stealth games? What???

Movefasta19932108d ago

Chaos theory is the best stealth game, it's not even a debate. The fact that you have mgs 4 and 5 over it, is extremely worrying. And tlou is a shallow stealth game, If you are comparing it as a stealth game it's not close.

Z5012108d ago

"It's not even a debate"

Really? Octocamo. MKII. Stealth camo (I.e. invisibilty or is this the part where you say invisibility doesn't count in a stealth game) Quiet. DDog. Helicopter support. Controlled sandstorms... But "It's not even a debate"

TLoU is mostly stealth. The 'hearing' mechanic screams this. *and I'm not even a fan of TLoU.

Movefasta19932108d ago

I liked mgs4 , i just don't think it's up there. Tlou has weak stealth gameplay, it doesn't have depth that some of other stealtth games have . It has a way better story than most of them tho but this isn't the topic

PhantomTommy2108d ago (Edited 2108d ago )

Nice to see Mark of the Ninja on here, absolutely outstanding stealth game. But yeah, no Chaos Theory is kinda ridiculous. It's one of the greatest stealth games ever made and much more deserving of a spot than Splinter Cell 1 and bloody Conviction.

Don't do this.

I've waited 100 years

_SilverHawk_13h ago

hopefully its a vr game or has the option to play in vr

TheColbertinator13h ago

The second option hopefully. I haven't played Alyx VR since the VR goggles hurt my eyes.

LordoftheCritics12h ago

Alyx VR was incredible.

Still unmatched

-Foxtrot11h ago

VR as an option - Totally fine.

VR Only - No thanks

I've been a Half Life fan since the original and have waited since 2007 for a sequel, it was already a kick to the nuts to have Half Life Alyx, a game which changes the ending of Episode 2 and will clearly be required to understand the story going forward in HL3, be a VR only title so I don't want a proper, full on sequel to be VR only aswell, it would be highly unfair to the HL fans who either don't like VR, can't afford it or can't do it for whatever reason.

Luckily going off the rumours, HL3 is a more traditional game.

ZycoFox12h ago

I wonder if the rumours are true - that it has a highly destructible environment and very reactive with hot/cold with realism placed on wind and other physics, I guess it makes sense, HL2 was very impressive at the time and it carried over into GMOD. That's what I really liked about it, everything built into the engine.

The only thing that might slightly disappoint me is if they don't upgrade the graphics more. I like that Source and Source 2 has such a clean look, I just hope they push it so it's more like Source 2.5 if they haven't budged it up to Source 3. Being (supposedly) the game to finish the original story I hope they go all out if they can while maintaining high frame rates with modern hardware.

PRIMORDUS3h ago

If this is true I'm going to guess it would be still using the Source 2 engine.

GTA 6 and Half Life 3 releasing in the same year?? IMPOSSIBLE.

This is silly. I think both games are amazing. Both games can be very successful at the same time and I hope they are.

z2g4h ago

I hate articles like this. “My opinion is all that matters. Click my stuff”. Both games will have their audiences. Some ppl like rock. Some ppl like rap. Not everyone is the same.

LordoftheCritics2h ago

Both are just another streamer game.

z2g4h ago

So we can we can see into the future now? I’m sure ARC is fine, me personally? Far more interested in Marathon. Between known Bungie’s solid gameplay and world building to the aesthetics and concept, I’m all in on Marathon.

InUrFoxHole2h ago

Yeah but unfortunately marathon are both in the hands of gamers and one has been recommend for delay.

jjb19813h ago

I played the Technical Test 2 earlier today and had a blast. I got thrown in an instance, saw a guy walking up some stairs, started shooting at him and watched him run for his life. It was funny until I got killed by some random drones. They're both different games and will have their space. Only the gameplay loop will tell.

pwnmaster30003h ago

Why do gamers/gamejournalist do this? We need to stop with all this doom article game shit.

lodossrage3h ago

windowscentral wouldn't have wrote this "piece" if Bungie was still owned by Microsoft.

And yes, I'm implying exactly what anyone reading this comment thinks.
