Why would you use stealth in a game?

I hate stealth, well to be totally honest I used to hate stealth. I just prefer to run into battle and beat the shit out of enemies. It's not super exciting but it's fun and I think that's the most important part about gaming! But when you give stealth gameplay a chance then you can be in for a surprise because stealth can sometimes make things just as fun as charging into battle!


What makes stealth gameplay so much fun?


I like how you can kill everyone in an area and no one ever knew you were there, until it was too late of course. It also gives you a rush to kill enemies in a game and get away with it, so nobody saw you do it and nobody could stop you. Sure it's fun to charge into battle and attack everyone but eliminating them one by one can be just as much fun. Sure it takes more time but with some experience you can do it pretty quick. But stealth will often require patience, so charging into battle is hardly ever the way to go for stealth. Maybe as a last desperate attempt to prevent a guard from alerting other but usually you stick to the shadows and sneak around waiting for an enemy to get too close to you and kill him. It's a rush feeling that you're a predator and the guards are the prey, they might feel tough with their guns but you take them out one by one with your knife anyway. I know it's not for everyone but if you give it a chance I'm certain that you'll like it once you get better at it.


Forcing stealth is dumb?


I don't like games where you're being forced to use stealth. For example the game the Evil Within is a game where you can use stealth for easy kills or you can go loud and waste a lot of ammo and sometimes get annihilated by the enemies. This game pretty much forces you to use stealth, which isn't really a bad thing but it would've been better if going in loud wouldn't be punished that much. If you have a lot of ammo you might feel more like a bad ass but ammo will run out sooner or later and you don't want to face a boss with no ammo! So you'll be sneaking around for most of the game, which is ok in a way but there were times I really hated that. There are other games where stealth is more like a thing and not really a part of the core gameplay, which makes it annoying and completely useless half of the time. But sometimes just adding a silencer to your gun will already unlock stealth gameplay, for example in the game Payday 2 you can play most missions with stealth and having a silencer makes that a lot easier. The good thing about this game is that you can also play it loud, which means there's fun for everyone! Never force stealth on players, it's annoying!
