Shhh! This is a very sneaky stealthy thread!

So much love in this thread Replying to everyone;

Maybe Assasin Creed.

Having only played the original, I thought the concept was really cool, but it disappointed me in the gameplay department. I think it is too forgiving and not rewarding enough at the same time. It's a shame, because it had the right setting to be awesome.

I'm a fan of the Splinter Cell style of stealth and the Thief style of stealth (what little I've played of the first game, anyway).

I have yet to try any Thief entry, because I never had a good PC to play it on. But I have always been intrigued, yes

I've paid no attention to Hitman: Absolution other than watching its adverts and short gameplay clips, and I honestly didn't know it was a stealth game.

Contracts is, without question, one of the best examples of masterful stealth/assassination gameplay and world design. It truly is the pinnacle of madhouse murder fun times.

I had only played Blood Money and now Absolution. Loved both of them! I would recommend Absolution for sure; it is definitely still a stealth game and a mighty fine one at that, especially on the harder difficulties. I might check out contracts if I can find it cheap

Absolutely love stealth games. Dishonored is probably one of the better modern ones I've played.

But my I think MGS is always going to sit at or near the top of my list. Just something about the old school simplicity of it all.

Dishonored is on my list! The first MGS has indeed a special place in my list of favorite stealth games. I always thought the laser-auto-aim from 3rd person worked really well, as opposed to the rather clumsy 'stop-and-shoot-in-1st person'-mechanic in the sequels.

The most fun I had sneaking was in MGS3. I really enjoyed the camouflage aspect of it.

Ah yes, still awesome. Favorite levels; the optional area with the house where you find the M60, the warehouse right before the area where you fight the Fear, and of course a stealthy endurance battle with The End ranks up as one of the most awesome bosses ever.

Throwing hitman blood money into the ring.
The sheer amount of options at your disposal allows you to be more creative than in any game ive ever seen. Added on with the games sick sense of humor and you have a recipe for absolute genius stealth gameplay.

Very well spoken sir, and I am glad to confirm Absolution has these things too! I actually think Absolution does it slightly better even, as the controls are more responsive and the animations are more adaptive. It makes you feel more like a professional and less clumsy which was sometimes the case in Blood Money (though I admit I only started playing Blood Money last year. Still great though!). So if you haven't tried it yet, I can definitely recommend Absolution.




Speaking of Absolution, this might be my favorite stealth moment ever:
