Stealth has its uses and other times using it is being overly cautious. Considering if you have to be truly stealthy you have to be extremely careful constantly aware of your enviroments sneaking from one hiding place to another only to find you have been hiding from nothing. So yea it is a nice option to have regardless especially in something like farcry being able to scout everything out obtain a good position and then wipe out every living creature human or mutant.
Overall stealth when done well gives you an awesome sense of tension not knowing if someone is going to catch you and if there is adequate consequences for being caught knowing that you are literally surrounded and if you are caught death is only a stones throw away. It can be truly exilerating especially when you get through it all with not a single hitch up.

Nice freudian slip with the "snaking around"Souplex said:
I enjoy stealth if it's the intended primary game element, or if I am not forced to use it. In games like Oblivion I spent most of my time sneaking around but would've hated that game if I was forced to stealth.
Sometimes I enjoy the sneakiness, but most of the time I'd rather huck a grenade. I enjoyed how well it was handled in San Andreas. You *can* sneak around, but you don't have to. It was the best option on a couple of occasions, but guns blazing usually worked too.
Let's see:
100 tonnes of purified pain delivered straight from the Inner Sphere Mechworks or...
A pansy ass light mech which doesn't have the weaponry to take down one armoured vehicle platoon?
I'm gonna go with the Atlas. I can solo entirely Stars of Clan Mechs assuming they don't field any Assaults.
As for other games, I thought Splinter Cell was pretty solid. I had the patience to take it slow and pull off the right kill and you can still kill one or two guys if you do it fast should your cover be blown.
MGS...yeah, I liked to stealth kill everyone. They can't raise the alarm if they're all dead.

Me too. I legged it through that Arkham Asylum demo swinging my arms like an ADHD child on crack.Souplex said:
I love stealth, I love to spread the seeds of chaos and watch my enemies grow more and more scared when I slowly take them out one by one, without them ever knowing where I was. *cackles like a mad genius*
I use it as much as possible in games where if you shoot first you win. In games like halo3 I don't care for it.
i like using stealth on fallout 3. with the deathclaw gauntlet. hehehe, slicey dicey.
It makes your serial killer tendancies show... (bwahahahaha)

If the actual game is based on stealth, i.e. Metal Gear or Splinter Cell, I love it.
Otherwise, I appreciate the option, but I think I'm just going to go in guns blazing, thank you.

that's a snazy idea, of course the flashlight could be replaceible with say: a body, or a gun. I think I'll make note of it for future refferenceMaxTheReaper said:

It all depends for me. Playing Crysis, I love nothing better than to cloak, sneak right up behind a soldier, switch to strength mode, and punch him into a tree. If I'm playing Oblivion, however, nothing beats running into a bunch of bandits screaming and swinging a claymore around.
I suppose it really depends on how satisfying the stealth mechanics are. In Oblivion, you do some extra damage when you attack, and that's it. But if you're playing, say, the spy in TF2, your stealth abilities allow you to sneak right past enemies that could easily kill you otherwise and then one-up them with a knife in the back. Seeing a sniper fall from his perch screaming is far more satisfying than "Sneak attack x6 damage!"
