Is assassin's creed 3 the ultimate stealth game?

It's hard to say if any one series is truly better than the other without full in-depth side by side comparisons. The Thief series made stealth fairly important and interesting in my opinion. Though I have little more to go on than personal experience and opinion. In Thief: Deadly Shadows for instance you had to make it a point to never be seen by anyone at all. In Assassin's creed you could still walk among the people depending on what you were up to. Though I also seem to recall a video of a kill in it right in front of other people, so maybe not quite as stealthy. I don't know about AC3 but from what I understand there's even less place to hide and feel stealthy. Splinter Cell and Metal Gear both had good stealth elements too. It's hard to pin a winner.

Are these the friends you are talking about?

assassin's creed, stealth? ahahahahahahahahahah

tell your friend to try ghost recon, future soldier, deus ex human revolution and hitman absolution, those ARE stealth games

Show them Thief 1 and 2.

...Thief and Dishonored.

also dishonored, your friend should be HANGED(just joking) for saying metal gear solid has a bad story.

Or any Metal Gear SOLID game not rising.

Edit: Oh now i'm reading all the post XD

Just use Snake's CQC moves on them. That'll teach them for saying MGS has a bad story.

AC3 Had stealth? I just kill people. Also, Mark of the Ninja.

My stealth game experience comprises only a couple hitman games, so I can't say much but I couldn't resist to babble about your friends' claim: If you play a game, any game, regularly, you can be considered a gamer if you want.

No such thing as "true" gamer, it's not a tribe or a group or anything, just a simple definition.

Assassin's Creed 3 is to stealth as NFL Blitz is to Football. Both abandon however much realism is necessary to obey the 'Rule of Cool.'

Commandos

I agree with dishonoured, this game is all about stealth. Haven't actually played metal gear solid so I wouldn't know but it is definitely not AC3.

how old are exactly your friends? because all the people i know that claims that "COD is the best game ever" are 11 year old kids with annoying voices that never played anything else in their lives, i´m not saying that CoD is a bad game, its actually a quite good fps, but its far away from being the best game.
And no, although AC3 has stealth elements, you just can´t compare it with a MGS game, or a Splinter Cell.

Assassins Creed 3 was the ultimate nap time.

No, that's the Thief series.

Try giving them first or second Tenchu, looks like they don't know shit about stealth games

Deus Ex had hefty rewards for stealth, but like Assassin's Creed, you can go on killing sprees as well

Thief series definitely. But go ask your friends if they are "true" gamers then why do they stick to main franchises?

Tenchu, Mark of the Ninja - this should be enough to prove your friends wrong.

lol wut Ass Creed has 0 stealth included

AC is hardly a stealth game franchise...

They obviously never played the Thief Trilogy, N.O.L.F., Splinter Cell or Metal Gear Solid. And they're obviously retarded.
