Fuck whoever recommended this piece of shit as a true stealth game. Its mechanics are shit and its just as much a stealth game as fucking Skyrim is an RPG
Yep, confirmed piece of shit
>>321850260
Maybe now you should but Underrail as a true RPG. :^)
>>321851096
Underrail was fun, there were some ridiculous difficulty spikes if you were playing with the oddity system.
>>321851205The joke is that is is not fun, anon. It is in fact a poop.
The goblin dude you play as is pretty cute though.
Nah, it's really good.
>>321851485
You sound like an angry stealth babby

>I didn't play goblin difficulty now I'm butthurt it's too easy
There are stricter stealth games but Styx is most definitely a true stealth game, you're just retarded.
Kind of related, but is the stealth genre confirmed for kill?
I miss games like splinter cell, hitman and thief
>inb4 people mention the atrocious reboots
>>321851770
But every build is viable in Underrail, anonymous. It is the perfect RPG.
It's a fantastic stealth game though.
The level design is great.
>>321852063
Its not perfect faggot, I had fun with a build for assault rifles.
>>321852005
Too late, I was playing on the difficulty right under and already deleted it.
>>321852049
New Hitman looks crazy good, and the devs said they're trying to recapture the blood money feel.
Cautiously optimistic after I got burned by Absolution though.
>>321850260
you either
A: didn't play on Goblin
or
B: Thought that shadows make you invisible
perhaps you'd like a game Splinter Cell: Blacklist or Assassin's Creed, those seem more up your alley

What are your favourite stealth games?
What could possibly be your point of reference?

Styx is a shitty, boring game. Is that really the "best stealth game in FOREVER nigger"?
Mayhaps you accidentally booted up Styx while you were trying to start up Assassins Absolution: Blacklist

>>321854257
then you have shit taste in video games, fuck off
>>321853937
Stealth Archer has been your preferred way to play?
That implied that their are other ways to play, which means you were playing stealth characters in RPGs. Furthermore, you were picking people off at range, which defeats the purpose of stealth in most cases.
In short, you play 'stealth' characters in action adventure games and have no business playing a game based entirely on not being caught that encourages not killing people.
Go play fucking Wolfenstein and pick people off with a silenced pistol in between gunfights where you're dual wielding auto shorties and killing cybernetic nazi dogs.
That might suit your ADHD better.
>>321854270
Metroidvania would be go grab Shadow Complex while it's free at the moment. It's excellent.
RPG would depend on what you like from your RPGs. My GotY and one of my new favorite RPGs ever was Age of Decadence, but the biggest part of that depends on if you like choices and consequences.

That's how a 6 year old think Anon, you are allowed to have retarded, unsubstantiated opinions, just don't expect anyone to take them more seriously than that.
Not enough killstreaks and hidden blades OP?
Or are you just asspained because you can't kill every enemy from a mile away then casually stroll to the objective?
>>321854409
This looks pretty fun, thanks.
>>321854949
Says a man aggressively refusing to substantiate his opinions. For posterity, I definitely don't take you seriously.
There is nothing interesting about Styx. It's boring as all fuck. Be happy that you're so easily amused.

What have I said that was jaded or cynical? Or do you just not know what those words mean?

OP here, that faggot is not me.
>>321855752
This is where replies ought to stop, because this anon is too correct. Aside from mine, of course.
>>321855651
Good shitpost.
There is absolutely nothing interesting or good abot this awful, awful game. I'm sorry that this upsets you, but the fact that you've gone half an hour without mentioning one reason otherwise pretty much seals it, doesn't it?
>>321855752
Why? It was a couple of bucks.
>>321853937
>Stealth archer has been my default mode of play in every video game that allows it since I was six.
That explains why you're so shit at Styx, you've only been playing stealth games for 2 years little fella.
But hey, two more years and you'll be in the double digits huh? That's exciting
The state of your opinions m8.
Never play Thief.
>>321856043
>i have nothing positive to say about the video game but am insecure about my age and will take this opportunity to turn my insecurity into verbal aggression
Styx fans.
>>321855893
Not that guy but here's what I liked about it:
- There are multiple paths to your objectives.
- There are plenty of different ways to deal with guards
- Combat is strongly discouraged, making it closer to a pure stealth game than many other action-stealth games.
- You can choose different ways to spec Styx depending on your preferred play style.
- The setting was pretty cool.
Honestly, I know I shouldn't have bothered because you will just reply with some dumb shit but you were partially correct, people have not explained what they like about the game.
>>321856329
I also liked Styx as a character and liked how you could beat the game as a complete ghost, not killing a single guard and never being spotted.
>>321856329
I'll give it another try anon
>>321856292
>My only argument against the game is "is bad me no like game boring u dumb fuck v"
Amazing.
Kill yourself.
>>321856329
You could say nearly all of that about shit like (the stealth missions in) Watch Dogs. The world was tedious, the character utterly boring, and you can find the exact same stealth gameplay copypasted into nearly every AAA release of the past decade.
Styx didn't do anything well. You people are just so absolutely starved for a "pure stealth" game that you'll gobble up any garbage.
Nothing about Stryx was particular interesting. It didn't do anything well. It didn't break any molds, it didn't excel at anything. It was a moderately competent slog through absolute tedium. It was worse than bad; it was boring.
>>321856647
Please read the thread again, but this time: concentrate.
>>321856695
>I didn't like it, therefore it's SHIT

OK friend.
Good talk.
Best game of 2014 imo.
"I don't like stealth games but purchased one anyway"
"My opinion is right"
Well, there you go.
What a thread.
>>321855408
no, this is a thread about one retarded child OP who started the thread with "styx a shit"
you're not even saying anything you're just saying "styx is shit lol" and "muh stelf archer"
how fucking underage are you? This is not a blog. If you post an fucking opinion and state it as a fact of course everyone is going to see you for what you are: A massive contrarian retard.
Don't like a thing? Fine.
Don't make a fucking thread about how you not like a thing with 0 discussion.
Nice blog btw. How about you send a message to that girl you like about how you hate popular things, she'll surely love you if she wasn't blowing someone who is not a total piece of shit person like you atm
>>321856329
>>321856430
fuck it styx thread
I liked the coins and the artifacts system and the open level design.
Those two combined gave you lots of optional stealth challenges, completing them was more rewarding than the reward they gave you.
>>321857096
What the fuck are you even talking about? What is contrarian about "stating opinion as a fact"? What opinion was stated as fact? What are you so upset about? What the fuck is your point?
Styx is a terrible, boring game. Do you have anything to say in response, or do you just want to rage at somebody for not sharing your shitty personal preferences?
>>321857313
I'll give it a shot:
Styx is not a terrible boring game.
Wow, your method of arguing is much easier.
>>321857562
It's not an argument, fuckface.

Styx was a super fun game. I wish the coins you found gave you 1 point each and and bonus for getting all of em in an area. The levels were really REALLY cool with the vertical stealth elements but made it really daunting to find each coin definitely one of my favorite games and I'm pumped for the sequel they're making
>>321857858

Fuck that was brutal, I wasn't ready for that.
>>321857883
>I'm pumped for the sequel they're making
Wait, what?
Nice, I honestly didn't think it sold enough to make them consider a sequel, but I guess it being a relatively low budget game helped it.
By the way, is Of Orcs and Men any good?
>>321857883
any word on what will be different in styx 2?
also shit like this is always my favorite thing in stealth games
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV1erz0t1Q0
>>321858216
I picked up of orcs and men a while ago ago and have it on my backlog soon. I've heard gameplay is mediocre but the story is very good
>>321857313
Show us proof or points that Styx is a boring, terrible game
>>321858545
Give it a rest man, why are you still trying to have a conversation with such a blatant shitposter?
You'll only get a differently worded "It's bad because I don't like it!" post.
>>321858452
The orc is fun, the stealth goblin is a pain in the ass, as he should be on account of him being a goblin. He only becomes useful when youturn him into a necromancerLike i think the implied canon story is is for him to stay a rogue but that shit sucks who cares.
>>321858676
As opposed to, of course, the completely valid "It's good, because I like it" posts. The /v/ hivemind is disgusting.
Everytime I blind someone in game I imagine Dale Gribble yelling POCKETSAND and I laugh at my own joke like an autistic manchild.
>>321854257
I'm taking the bait, but he's asking you to explain your reasoning. Is the level design bad? Are the graphics bad? Is the AI bad? Are the stealth tools at your disposal bad? This list could go on for awhile.
>>321859050
Except people have explained why they like it and you've yet to mention why you dont.
>BUT ITS SHIT AND I DONT LIKE IT
Save your breath genius, you've made that abundantly clear.
>>321859606
That answers the question.
That post is also full of subjective opinions and things that are just plain wrong though.
I think I've worked out why OP is so retarded
He actually believes his opinion is objective or fact
Either that or he's a fairly good troll
Either way he's just shitposting, move along
>>321860921
Na the devs post the same thread every so often, its like the third time its come up, usually at steam sales.
>>321861283
That's pretty clever. This is an appropriately sneaky way to viral.
Complete shit game. I've beat it on all difficulties, and the only difference between goblin and the others is that if they spot you, theres no fighting. You get insta-killed.
The story went absolutely no where.
The absurd amount of enemies in everywhere just to make it more annoying was cancerous in and of itself. Goblin literally makes an entire skill set useless since you immediately die once you've been caught in range.
The controls are fucking abysmall. You could try to drop down or jump up to a specific grab-able ledge and you could overshoot it like nothing.
So much more shit to say, but overall it is 4/10 at best. The only redeemable quality being the stealth kills and some of the abilities. But by the end of the game you wont even have enough to grab all the skills anyway, and after that shitfest, you'll want to immediately delete it anyway.
>>321858452
The gameplay is a lot worse than mediocre.
Its seriously fucking painful to play. I still haven't finished it.
>>321863954
Wasn't it in real time but you had to
queue up you actions? From what I remember it was just bad design.
>>321854682
>>321854854
Explain stealth games to me
Every fucking stealth game, there's "shadows" you hide in that are not dark at all, but as soon as you step on them you're fucking invisible. Together with that, all enemies have retardedly predictable patrols and NEVER look around, their cone of vision NEVER changes from the front of their body.
There's never any actual darkness.
The ONLY games where stealth didn't feel fucking retarded are Riddick games and Crysis (which has literal invisibility, but you still feel more challenged than step-in-black games). Maybe commandos too.
I platinumed it after getting for free on ps+.
The game would have been alright if it wasn't so awfully coded. Having the walls of the maps disappear or the enemies start suddenly teleporting all over the map while having seizures was annoying but what really sucked was having to sit through the long ass loading screens every time it fucked up.
>>321857241
I also liked the twist, it was something that i didn't expected and it was also sort of "obvious", in the cutscenes
>>321857313
Okay.
there's a difference between
"styx is a terrible, boring game, your preferences are shitty"
and
"styx is terrible and boring because of reasons A B C D but I enjoyed/i hated all of it"
See the difference you child? One of them is a shitty worthless blog thinner and worse than your shitty chinese waifu, another is a viewpoint, that if balanced, gives you a lot more credibility and is a great starting off point for discussions, which may give people some enjoyment or inform them on their purchase.
TL;DR You have no friends/underage/retarded can you guess how we know
>>321861742
This is more like it.
>You could try to drop down or jump up to a specific grab-able ledge and you could overshoot it like nothing.
Yeah this bothered me extremely a lot.
I really like styx tho, it has a lot of personality and charm, but honestly it's around 7/10 at best. But it's a damn special 7/10
>>321864148
>Explain stealth games to me
You wouldn't understand if I tried.
>>321865225
Easiest games around, made for complete retards?
Okay, got it.
>>321865127
I wonder that they will do with Styx 2, i didn't expected that they would announce a sequel and with a bigger budget at that.
>>321865330
If they are so easy why people hated farcry 2 and arma series stealth?
>>321865372
Propably new mechanics.
I'd love to see the skillset expanded to give you an option to play without all the magic shit.
and some resolving of controls issues.
Other than that suggestions are pointless because styx devs are competent enough not to listen to what fans want .I want them to follow their heart and make the game they want to play.
>>321865414

>>321865372
Every time a sequel to a good stealth game is announced, I get optimistic just so that I could be disappointed at literally none of my wishes coming true.
Like with Thi4f. The first time I heard about a Thief sequel being worked on by the studio that made Deus Ex Human Revolution, I had a ready concept in my mind what a real Thief sequel based on a decade of expert feedback would look like. Then a thousand people like me went and told Eidos Montréal what all the good things about Thief were, and the company used that information to make the exact opposite of what the game should have been.
>>321857741
It's really hard to take any Skyrim babby seriously.
>>321861742
>The controls are fucking abysmall. You could try to drop down or jump up to a specific grab-able ledge and you could overshoot it like nothing.
I picked it up yesterday and this is the only concern I have with the game.
While not serious business like Thief, I like the atmosphere of the game, maybe I'll even buy it.
Just a shame about that atrocious american accent they gave him.
>>321869892
Well, American niggers are the RL greenskins, so it fits.
