No man Tydmors. One of the most common complaints about Dishonored was that playing stealth was actually too easy. If you're ever in Cape Town you should swing by and I'll teach you how stealth games work.
It's one of my favorite game genres. There is really nothing as satisfying as successfully ghosting a mission in a stealth game.

I must have been playing really badly then. I also struggled to sneak in Dishonoured. I also struggle to sneak in Hitman: Absolution. I'm stuck in Hitman: Absolution actually. I have no idea how to sneak past certain sections there.

Blink made sneaking in Dishonored an absolute breeze for me. Enemies didn't look up, so as long as you stayed above eye level you were fine.
Don't feel bad about Absolution, though. I also had a hellish time trying to sneak there. It's one game I'm not ashamed to say I couldn't finish.

Dude stealth in absolution was a nightmare on higher difficulties. I couldn't get past Dexter Industries on expert, decided f**k it this is too hard and uninstalled. That game is one of the few that made me bash my head on my keyboard.

deus Ex was sort of fun for stealth at first until I foudn out you could pull "HULK SMASH!" through walls and that was that.
Best was the old splinter cells (RIP Clancy). Thinking of trying out Absolution but I've missed all the hitman games thus far so I feel bad jumping in on it now. Dishonoured was just a blink slash fest. Stealth not required at all and when I tried to be stealthy I got bored of it

Would games like Commandos 1/2 count as stealth games? We haven't had any of those recently either... Though I think there is a new desperados on the way

I LOVE stealth games. This year, I smashed Absolution (I'll admit, there were a few hairy sections where sneaking just wasn't an option) and I loved every minute of it. The most difficult thing in the game was actually this stupid don't click if you haven't finished the game and don't want spoilers
I intend to finish Dishonored and Metal Gear Solid HD Collection in the next couple of months.
No one has mentioned Deus Ex: HR yet. I found the stealth mechanic to be lacking when compared to other stealth games. Thoughts?

DX:HR was excellent, if you thought about running and gunning you were killed in a few moments, they definitely forced me to go stealth, stealth doesn't mean no kills mind you) killed a ton of people, so it was good, just not very polished, I'm hoping to replay director's cut sometime and hopefully the next instalment will be better finished

You have to use lots of stealth. I did find the stealth stuff clunky as compared to something like Hitman or MGS4. Still pretty cool, though.
what I hated about hitman was the focus mode, otherwise you'd get spotted easily...made it incredibly hard to sneak past some parts of the game on the proffessional levels..

I finished the Absolution twice one playing super stealthy and once as a straight up murderer. The game is surprisingly enough EASIER to play stealthily than it is to go guns blazing [Admittedly I played on Hard and not on Expert ]. The reason I found it easier is because killing racks up your instinct faster therefore making easier to kill again. Got to a point where you would go out of your way to trigger alerts just to get some instinct back. The only mission where stealth was ludicrously difficult was in Dexter industries.
DX:HR stealth was fun and was truly the better option. Combat was an honest challenge on higher diffs and made you truly appreciate your augmentations for higher stealth capabilities.
MGS4 combat was madness. Stealth was often used out of fear and not tactics. What I liked about it was that it made you aware at ALL times that no matter how badass Snake is he is still a mortal at the end of the day. But it is awesome nonetheless.
I'm definitely replaying DX:HR directors cut, due to 2 battery meters recharging, will go for true ghost run this time around...gonna be epic, hopefully a sequal is not far off

I recently got Splinter Cell Blacklist and I am enjoying the stealth element quite a bit. I still believe that the best stealth games made were the old Thief series and I am looking forward to the new one coming.
I get bored of stealth sections in games that were not designed to be stealthy games. Some games just do not encourage stealth play yet require you to be stealthy. This is difficult as you've just come from a section where you maybe run and gunned your way through a mission and all the sudden you must put your stealth hat on and sneak. So in those scenarios, I get ticked off with the stealth mission and run and gun cause I know it is not an integral part of the game cause the game will not really penalize you for not playing stealthy.
So I really hope SC:Blacklist will be different and allow me to really be stealthy. I feel your pain.

Blacklist allows you to play the game 3 different ways: Ghost (non-lethal stealth), Panther (lethal stealth) and Assault (tankie tank tank)I recently got Splinter Cell Blacklist and I am enjoying the stealth element quite a bit.

Stealth is my favourite genre/skill to have in games. Love spying and being a voyeur in real life so it's only natural. It all started for me back in the 80's when we would caravan over the December break period. The female ablution blocks was the place to level your sneaking skills late at night. One time I found a way up on the roof and had a clear view through an air vent straight into the ladies showers. I shared this knowledge with some other kids and I was instantly propelled to being most popular kid on holiday.......at that particular caravan park.
