The more I think about it, the more I think Mark of the Ninja was the only stealth game that I've actually enjoyed doing stealth in, ever
Quinneapolis
I think it's because I really like games that are very precise in their design and presentation
Quinneapolis
and MotN shows you exactly what every NPC can see and exactly how far every sound travels
Quinneapolis
that plus the "pause at any time to do four things at once" mechanic
Quinneapolis
was sick as hell
Quinneapolis
and you had regular checkpoints so if you get caught you don't need to do the awkward stealth game running around waiting for alarm to end sequence
Quinneapolis
you just restart
Quinneapolis
and NPC behavior was very deterministic
Quinneapolis
it sacrificed a lot of realism for predictability and tight gameplay
Quinneapolis
Shadow tactics looked fairly interesting
Quinneapolis
I should replay MotN but I'd have to set my 360 back up
Quinneapolis
apparently it's out on PS4, it'd be tempting to just
Quinneapolis
get it again
Quinneapolis
having it be in 2D also dealt with my usual problem of like
Quinneapolis
repeatedly getting owned by guards who were out of my field of vision because I'm garbage at keeping track of who's where in a 3D space
Quinneapolis
OK looked up a gameplay video and I'm strongly tempted to get shadow tactics
Quinneapolis
it looks interesting
Quinneapolis
damn, 10/10 on Steam
Quinneapolis
maybe once I finish OSL and BB
Quinneapolis
I'll pick it up
Quinneapolis
question from looking at the gameplay
Gabiluzbad
Yeah I've been keeping an eye out for a sale
Quinneapolis
can you pause baldur's gate style, or are you stuck in realtime?
Quinneapolis
I saw that yeah
Quinneapolis
savescumming is a plus at least
Quinneapolis
so you can checkpoint out if things go to shit
Quinneapolis
oh that's good
Quinneapolis
a tempting buy for sure
Quinneapolis
weeb subs don't even bother me anymore until they reach the level of tv-nihon
Quinneapolis
weird
Quinneapolis
Volume was almost there but it was a bit too simplistic
