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.

Not sure how sniping from 1000000 kilometers away is counted as stealth compared to the other games in question but okay.

This :D
You want stealth? Go for Splinter Cell, Mark of the Ninja and Thief.

Haven't played the newest one yet and the first Deus Ex wasn't really so stealth from what I can remember.

Haven't played Dishonored. But heard it's very, very easy. If it's as easy as AC then I wouldn't even put it right next to SC or Thief. Just because it'd be an insult to those games.

AC is also a great series but games are so easy that it's ridiculous. I think stealth games should be very hard. It's about tension. If games are easy there's no tension at all.

If it's easy or not depends on your playstyle...if you use all these fancy OP-powers you can get and don't care about getting detected the whole game couldn't be easier.
But if you don't use the upgradesystem and try to stealthkill without being detected the game can be really challenging ;)

Assassin's Creed is about, well, assassins. You have a lot of deadly tools so even if you're actually seen you can still survive (quite easily as well as i've judged from gameplay videos).
In Thief series, on the other side, you are significantly weaker than any random guard, so remaining unseen is the only thing keeping you alive. That's also somewhat true in Splinter Cell series.

tell your friend to try ghost recon, future soldier, deus ex human revolution and hitman absolution, those ARE stealth games
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I forgot about deus ex human revolution, I might be able to use that against them as they only seem to think that new games are good. However I must say that I was really excited for future soldier but it didn't live up to the hype and for me the the stealth gameplay wasn't varied enough if that makes sense

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

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.'

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.

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

Thief series definitely. But go ask your friends if they are "true" gamers then why do they stick to main franchises?
Comment has been collapsed.
Also, they say MGS story sucks, are you sure they didn't play MGS2 first? :D And for stealth, maybe they were playing on the easiest diff, that's why they consider it rubbish. This, or their tastes are crap and they don't know anything about stealth.

^ That. You can be somewhat stealthy in AC, but it does not have that much stealth or a stealth feel to it.
It isn't like, let's say, Hitman, where you try to be unnoticed from the moment you enter any area, inside or out. You move by sneaking around and taking cover to your destination.
In AC in missions it is encouraged, but it isn't stealth from the start until the end like some games (Thief, Hitman, etc.). You're mostly running or walking around in the open in clear daylight, often in cities and streets well populated. You can't really be all that stealthy, when you basically are always seen and when you're using mad parkour skills. Nothing subtle or sneaky about that.

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

It did have stealth missions. The second one even has a "hide in darkness" feature like the Thief games, plus you have to move bodies out of sight, so guards don't see them.

My friends claim that they are true gamers and disagree if anyone has a different opinion to them on games are now saying that Assassin's creed 3 is THE ultimate stealth game and that there are no better stealth games out there. I have put up with their COD nonsense for their favourite games are always the latest COD. I could stand that but because my favourite genre of games is stealth I for some reason can't stand that the say that Assassin's creed 3 is THE ultimate stealth. I said to them about metal gear solid but they say that that's rubbish for stealth and that the story sucks (UUGH). I said to them about the original splinter cell games but they said that all you do in that is hide in the dark and that it hasn't got enough stealth elements in it (UUGH). I am not saying that Assassin's creed 3 is a bad game at all but it isn't the best for stealth at all, would some people please like to prove my friends wrong :D
