Poll: What's worse? Forced stealth or escort missions?

[Tinneh]

I quite like some escort mission. If the thing you are escorting is competent then escort mission are actually fun. Forced stealth is the same if done well, but bad forced stealth is worse than bad escort.

But if they were competent, why would they need an escort? And bloody Hell, I hate me some escort missions! They are the reason I never completed the third Timesplitters game! I did not feel like retrying that one bit where you protect the hippie with the sniper rifle for the 10,000[sup]th[/sup] time!

Stealth sections...those suck

 

[KamachoMcSagget]

This basically a question of "What did you hate in Zelda: The Spirit Tracks more"

 

[joshthor]

escort missions. particularly ones where you have to escort a person back the way you came, or the ones where you escort a person who walks the same speed no matter what... and its always slow.

Escort missions. They can be so annoying if the AI is bad.

 

[superbatranger]

Escort Missions. Always Escort Missions.

There aren't enough words in the English language to express my hatred for them.

Then we need new words. They are...I lose hair because of those missions. I can feel myself aging every time I do one. Telling them to follow you only to find out they got left behind 5 MINUTES AGO forcing you to go all the way back. Oh, and hey will you look at that? They're walking into a fucking wall. You tell them to stay, they wander off right into the line of fire of a goddamn bazooka. Tell them to follow you, they stay...and walk around in circles. Just the thought of those missions piss me off. One escort mission in Rainbow Six:Vegas pissed me off like no other. I told the guy to stay still. I climbed the ladder. He followed me..I couldn't get down because I couldn't tell him to move because he was on the ladder...When I got on the ladder and pointed down, it wouldn't let me tell the guy to move. I was forced to shoot him and start the level over. Damn it, I hate escort missions.

Definently forced stealth, because stealth is an aspect of a game YOU SHOULDNT BE FORCED TO DO, it should be optional...

 

[Krunkcity3000]

ESCORT MISSIONS ARE THE END-ALL BE-ALL OF SUCK.

Let's make it simple. If you F-up in stealth its kinda your fault. If the AI F's up during an Escort mission then your F'd in the A.

 

[Zeroresistence]

Escort missions are the worse, forced stealth can get annoying but i can deal wth it

 

[rabidmidget]

Escort missions by far, you never have enough time to prepare between each battle

"If I can't shoot my way out from where ever I'm going, it's not worth going."

Forced stealth is ass.

 

[Dimbo_Sama]

Both of them. Unless it's an intergral part of the game play, I hate stealth sections. That one segment in Arkham Asylum where you have to rescue Commisioner Gordan. I hated that, even though I was a stealthy beast of the night the rest of the game, if it forces you to do it, then it loses it's edge. I prefer it when you CAN go guns blazing into a room and kill everyone in one lift, but you don't HAVE to, that's when I enjoy stealth gaming.

And Escort missions aren't so annoying if they're not overused

 

[RUINER ACTUAL]

Well that's one sided. Stealth is always fun. Even in kitten-murdering FPSs like Metro 2033 and Operation Flashpoint had fun stealth too. (as long as you told your teammates the correct ROE)

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

Oh look, we have to protect this walking target holing up a "kill me" sign for the next half hour. Oh joys.

 

[antipunt]

Oh God escort...

*shudders at thought of Dead Rising**

 

[sabercrusader]

want to know a game that has the
WORST escort missions i have ever played?

DEAD RISING
the A.I is horrible as they can't protect them selves with the strongest gun in the game and constantly stop thinking to themselves "do i want to be saved?" and then they run back into the crowd of zombies to die.....oh did i mention that they may shoot you on "accident" if you give them a gun and most of the escort you have to go across the WHOLE FREKING MALL!

 

[Dannyboy1186]

Probably escort mission but I had a bad experiance of stealth in the James Bond games on the ps2, those darn tranquilisers, they NEVER give you enough ammo for them.

Escorting tries to make you care...like charity adverts
Stealth scenarios only piss me off when being seen is an instant gameover.
