I never played Mario Strikers so I look forward to it's release next week. So are they really just going to release one new GC game a month? Hopefully, Luigi's Mansion soon.

Nintendo has a summer sale going on. Mario Odyssey is $40 in case someone here never picked it up.

Not sure you guys can use the anker power bank link, it just popped up on Eurogamer.and I nabbed it. With free delivery that's insanely cheap and will triple my switch 2 battery life.

With my 5k man I'll have even more.

So I was playing the Phantom Liberty Cyberpunk dlc.

There's this mission where it says to be stealthy. This is like the other missions which ask you to be stealthy. And like most missions, you end up stealthy for a few minutes before it inevitably descends into a fire fight.

And I was thinking about stealthy games which worked and why they worked.

Games need to give you the viewpoint, tools and hiding places to work well.

Stealth doesn't work well in 1st person IMO as your viewpoint is very limited and you can't see around corners. You can Peek around corners in first person but you risk exposure.

Other games have onscreen mini maps, or radars where you can see troop movements and plan ahead or slip through enemy walking patterns.

Other games give you enough useful tools to work with, fancy tech or decent silenced weapons. Cyberpunk let's you hack a lot of things, but that takes away from the satisfaction of sneaking up and zonking someone on the back of the head.

Also in crouched position there's this visual filter which makes everything too dark around the edges. It's annoying.

You also need safe zones or hiding places. Like the shadows in Splinter Cell, or lockers you can duck into, cardboard boxes to hide under.

Deus.Ex and Crysis had invisible suits.

There's a lot Cyberpunk gets right, I'm quite impressed just how well they deliver something close to the best FPS and excellent gta style car controls. But the stealth could use some tweaking.

For me, a head shot with a silenced pistol should be a one hit kill. I've very strict with that, it all goes back to Goldeneye. But here a head shot then alerts everyone and the one you've shot needs several.more to put down.

It's not as bad as Wolfenstein 2 but wolf 2 has even more stealth problems that brings it to the point where it's not even an option to me

Which one of you jizz cabbage enthusiasts didn't like Little King Story? Was it you Robio? I've been talking to someone about the community and your name came up as someone who did not like the game. I reviewed your top 100 list and it was not to be seen. We need to get to the bottom of this.

I've been playing online Knockout Tour and love it. I've never won an online race. I think the closest I have gotten is fifth.

Isn't Little King's Story a Pikmin clone? Or was there more to it?

I don't know what a "jiz cabbage" is, nor will I be Googling it to find out either, lol.
