    I once was playing Splinter Cell with a friend who, I have since learned but did not know at the time, had very little interest in stealth. To his credit, he did make an effort to be sneaky, but eventually gave up and ran through the level with a shotgun, shooting anyone he saw and yelling “STEALTHY! STEALTHY! STEALTHY!”

    To his credit once again, he did beat the level with this strategy.

      Those people always impressed me. I always went 100% the stealth way, even in games not centered in stealth because I’m terrible in the fast action stuff.

      I consider myself a patient gamer, in that I can wait years for a game I want to finally be really cheap. But I am not a patient gamer. I hate stealth missions. Especially if the game makes you just fail the level if you’re discovered. I’ll gladly murder my way out, thank you very much.
