This can this make the whole interaction quite silly in some cases, but as you try to come up with an answer to combat this, things can fall apart. Unfortunately, the guy here clearly failed and, as per DayZ custom, was later forced to do something weird like recite their country's national anthem or solve basic arithmetic to the eyes of the world. You can be stealthy in multiplayer situations as well, like here in DayZ. Again, it could just be seen as game-ey, but to some, that's just not an acceptable answer. Or when they can't see 10 feet in front of them, or when they don't hear someone flying or grappling right behind them. But in stealth games, these enemies, while not always humans, take on very human traits of standing guard, so when they so clearly lack the beautiful gift that is peripheral vision without any explanation as to why, it becomes quite silly.
The typical left-right movement of mindless enemies in platformers is fine, it's an accepted game-ey pattern. As I said before, video games can take us to fantastical worlds, and that's fine, but there's something about sneaking around your enemies, where their actions become more apparent. I don't even need to list all of the horror games or RPGs where some sense of stealth is implemented. In a game like Uncharted, many shootouts don't occur until you are caught, which is typically forced but there are stealth-focused areas thrown in for good measure in specific places like Borneo in UC2. In Portal 2, the turrets won't shoot at you until you enter their line of sight. It's a nice quirk that encourages you to be careful if your little critters are low on health, and you can't afford battling much more. A lot of the standard trainer battles in Pokemon won't be initiated unless you get in their line of sight, which makes it interesting when you have people who walk around or follow a certain pattern of changing direction in three different ways, or certain trainers who only battle at night. I mean, there are a ton of games with enemies that use stealth in some way or another. Its "game-like nature" prevails, to me.Īlright, so stealth games can shake things up a bit. But the games have always been pretty easy, the enemies' patterns are basic and easy to grasp, and the whole story plays out like a Saturday morning cartoon, so I really don't focus on the enemies in this sense.

Sly Cooper, a series all about stealth, has enemies that one could say are pretty stupid. Some games offer stealth elements as an option as opposed to a requirement, going for kills or non-lethal attacks sneakily, because hey, there's just something cool about taking down your foe without them even getting to look you in the eye. Sometimes, however, combat is fluid, making you ponder why you bothered sneaking around in the first place.
Being seen can sometimes lead to automatic failure of a mission, or perhaps force you into an uncomfortable combat sequence that can usually lead to death, encouraging you to actually stay in the shadows this time around. In core stealth games, your goal is to avoid being spotted at all costs. Stealth games are an interesting facet of the gaming industry, as you're not always quite fulfilling the stereotypical power fantasy games will usually offer you, at least not in the most direct sense. But let's be more specific here, and by that I mean that it can be a problem in stealth games. Even basic actions can take quite some time to program in, and this can be a noticeable problem. Because these figures are artificial, so are their interactions. You see, games provide virtual worlds, with artificial intelligence mostly serving as those worlds' inhabitants. No, they also affect the intelligence of, well, anyone. But this "lack of realism" not only applies to defying physics and having visible stat bars float above your head. I WANT to be able to double jump sometimes and raise my stamina meter. And don't get me wrong, this isn't a complaint in any way, really. Being able to interact with a fantasy world is great, but this lack of realism not only relates to the setting and characteristics of these worlds you enter and explore, but the mechanics themselves. Video games, as you know, have a tendency to not match reality, and I love them for that.
