Here are your picks of "stealth" takedowns that were ANYTHING BUT. Enjoy, and apologies in advance for showing you the effects of Watch Dogs 2's Shuffler Outfit :/
Guys, be real. The loudest, most obvious and brutal take down can be the most stealthiest. You guys work at the Oxbox office, and should know. Jane breaks Mikes legs, nope, I didn't see anything and Mike must of jumped off the building. Andy thought he saw something and was planning going to the police. Hey look at the smoke and ashes and Andy suddenly disappear for no reason, even though there's a camera train on him. For everyone else, you didn't see anything, or it might happen to you too.
@@DjResR But is it not the member of a species that prides themselves on sneak killing very dangerous targets that would figure out how to tear out a spine stealthily?
Explanation of the absurd amount of belts an Assassin wears: Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to have your trousers drop in the middle of a kill?
"Did you hear about Giovanni during his last mission?" "No, what happened?" "His pants dropped while air assassinating that man Caravaggio in the middle of the streets of Roma." "HAHAHAHA!!!" "HAHAHAHA!!! Here he comes now. Hey, Giovanni, maybe you need more than one belt!!"
Znijik_the_Zed not to mention precision jumping from height, will caused gravity to pull your pants down. At least that's what happens to me when I didn't wear a belt...
This makes me think of how Fallout: New Vegas classifies all melee weapons as "silent" for sneak kill purposes. Nothing like stealthily taking out an entire vault full of Fiends with a chainsaw...
No one would suspect a cardboard box with a sombrero on it! A regular cardboard box would be too suspicious, but put a sombrero on it, and the enemy will think "there is no way anyone would be dumb enough to hide in that!" It's ingenious!

Why does nobody notice when an Assassin jumps down and puts knifes into two people's heads? Because you just saw someone jump down and puts knifes into two people's heads; I know if I saw that I would turn away real quick and hope the assassin didn't see me because I don't want a free head knife.
Then, how is it that a guard can watch a man jump from the shadows, pull out a flaming sword and shield of poison, obliterate an entire camp with the help of an eagle and his first instinct is; "I'm gonna go poke him with my stick."?

I would think the lest stealthy hat would be a Jester hat, with bells. So I think Raiden is doing well with the sombrero. I mean, he does go undetected.
Well you can't blame the Assassins for wearing all those belts. With all the jumping and running they do you have to take every precaution to keep your pants up.
ajmrowland Well what they're wearing is most likely padded for some armor, so lightweight isn't a good solution, and a skintight outfit would probably make you stick out even more.
@@oddluck4180 , well, they say women warriors wore the low-cut stuff to distract their enemies. Perhaps if guys had their junk shrink wrapped and on display, it does the same?

Yes, of the two goblins 1km down into Goblin Town who saw some lunatic strolling down their main tunnel, leaving a trail of goblin blood along the floor, which was smarter, the one who slunk off to guard the back of the tomato cupboard against mice or the one who charge at said lunatic, wielding a steak knife and yelling "YOU cannot defeat ME!" as if he was somehow tougher than every other goblin that had been in the way?
To be fair, this is the same game that let's you unlock a "stealthy" method to draw an enemy to you. You can either throw a rock, that will draw the enemy to you but won't bring them directly to your exact position, or you can stand up and whistle so they immediately get so close that they can literaly step on you and not notice.
Even worse, those were heavy attacks which don't even use the same button as the silent strike. I mean of course your stealth attack will fail if you don't press the right button.
This seems like a particularly dangerous episode of Outside Xtra. Mike and Jane in the hospital, Andy turned into a heap of smouldering ash, and Luke going "Shuffler" mad. The only one left standing is Ellen... that's curious...
I feel that stealth in Breath of the Wild is actually useful but especially for that one Shrine Quest following a Korok through the Lost Woods and you mustn't be seen and you have to protect him. You breathe too loud and the bugger turns around and sees you. It took me ages to do that quest.
The assassin’s massive number of belts is, in my head, the secret way they survive massive falls and intense forces on their hands and arms that should at least dislocate a shoulder. My head canon is that the belts are a sort of leather exoskeleton, or at least a reinforcement device, to prevent their bodies from being literally torn limb from limb by the strain caused by falling 20 feet before catching yourself on a ledge by your hands and suffering a load equivalent to hundreds of pounds on your arms.
no the user that suggested it is right. the silent strikes are really loud and totally deserve to be on this list. its just weird that they showed a different move for the video
6 років тому
And the only enemies you can consistently take out with a single shot are watchers and grazers (shoot their blaze tank with a fire arrow and sit back to watch the fireworks). And humans, of course.
Ellen on Horizon Zero Dawn: "you can always kill enemies from afar in one hit with a well placed arrow". Me: *tries to snipe Thunderjaw from a bush* "mistakes were made"
I am speechless that you would try that. The only enemy you can kill with one arrow is watchers (Not red eyes). Every other enemy takes more than one arrow or some other weapon which is WAY LOUDER than a silent strike.
I've learnt to cheese it by arranging multiple layers of traps and trips around suitable choke-point terrain before engaging dangerous machines or large groups. Most of the time they're aware of the "mine fields" laid down, and will avoid them thus keeping their distance away from me. I can easily shoot away at them. If they stagger back too far away, I'd just run outside my "fortress" to kite them back into range.
Will Cooper you can actually take out the first deathbringer aka the glorified turret one in a single hit if you mod the ice weapon from the dlc for max damage and shoot a giant ice shard at one of its weak points.
Andy appears in a cloud of smoke leaning on the chair- "Well Ellen it's funny you should mention belts as they have a long a fascinating history! Dating back to bronze age garments...."
I was just thinking that, which is unfortunate because the *ACTUAL* silent strike attack is still SUPER FREAKING LOUD, especially when you destroy a machine in one hit and it *friggin explodes everywhere*. Its not something you can mistime, since the Silent Strike is a straight up animated attack that you have no control over.
D. Burrow I dunno, I've mistimed it occasionally by pressing R1 a millisecond before the prompt appeared when either my target or I were moving, and I'll admit, pretty embarrassing.
I think more the fact they were talking about mistiming an input and showing a clip of someone just straight up doing the wrong input repeatedly makes me lose a little faith in OX's ability to read :/
Not to mention, these robotic thingies look like sophisticated pieces of machinery. Even if the protagonist had a way to mask her presence from these*, surely the robots would have a way to register one of their own missing, regardless of circumstances and their stealthiness?
Prudence? Jane? The Shuffler? Well, after seeing a couple of dance clips we knew she wasn't the Jive Bunny, but I wouldn't have had her down as the Shuffler. More the back-and-forth looped .gif, if anything.
"A ghost that uses a spine to whip people..." Bing Bong Boy! And, coincidentally, he's the stealthiest killer in the game. Predators are all about that stealth life and cordage too, but they usually prefer the coconut attached : D
In fairness to FarCry... random animal attacks have been more common than set-up bait kills. The flying meat could also be co-worker debris from the nearby outpost that just blew up for no reason at all, no big deal.
Depends on if this is just Celebrimbor shouting or Talion speaks as well- as Celebrimbor is a ghost and almost nobody can see or hear him aside from Talion.
Also some of the normal "stealth" kills, most of which cause the Uruks to make an awful lot of noise, but somebody two feet away still won't have a clue.
Shadow Siphon Animals In Far Cry 4 are remarkably durable. For example, you can kill an unarmoured man with one shot from the Recurve Bow. Dholes (small wild dogs) need two shots. Bears are much larger than dholes, and are therefore much tougher.
for the horizon zero dawn segment half of those attacks aren't even the "silent strike" skill. to activate silent strike you press R1, aloy slides on the ground next to the machine, and does a single, powerful thrust to the machines core, which "kills" it. half of the clips that you used in your video are of the player pressing R2, which is a heavy attack and does not activate the silent strike skill. Don't get me wrong, the stealth kills on machines are no where near quiet , but I hate how you misrepresent the game by not even bothering to get clips that show the proper skill in question.
I like how for horizon there was only one stealth takedown shown out of the 4+ clips of a "stealth takedown" when most were a heavy attack that stunned the machine
Ellen, Luke, Mike, Andy, James, Alexander the Stealth Hamster... Your mission should you choose to accept it: stop Jane from acquiring the Shuffler suit. We have intelligence placing her in London. The fate of the world is in your hands. This comment will self-destruct in 10 seconds.

@Kerwyn Impossible Eldritch Force assumes no liabilities for non self-destructing comments. Also, any team members caught, driven insane, or eaten by the Old Ones during the course of their missions will be disavowed by the hysterical and insane ramblings in the after action report.
It feels like a reference to another game. If not maybe they should make it. Seeing that just makes me want to skip playing the rest of the first WD and jump to Watch Dogs 2
most of those clips from Horizon Zero Dawn weren't even using the "Silent Strike" ability... they were just using the heavy attack from a crouched position...
Whenever you "non-lethally" knock someone out in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands. I knew I would think of that name sometime! Anyways, there's a LOUD cracking sound. I could hear that from the other room! Poor Carlos...
Good video as usual, but most of the Horizon Zero Dawn clips didn't even feature Aloy using the silent strike skill. Instead, most of those clips were of her using a light or heavy attack . It was a mistake to say that you can miss with this skill, because when you execute the silent strike skill it never misses. Depending on the size of the machine it may not be a one hit kill, but it never misses.
Aerial takedowns in Assassin's Creed aren't so much "faith and trust in gravity", it's more faith and trust that jumping your brittle and snappable bones ten metres onto someone else, who is a pile of snappable and brittle bones with most of the pointy bits facing up, won't break and leave you rolling on the ground clutching your shattered femur, with their ribs poking through yours.
I honestly never noticed the Assassins' Creed bit because I always used those takedowns to quickly take out an enemy at the start of a fight, and the few times I used it in stealth, it was when there was no one remotely close by
With silent strike I'm pretty sure the idea is that you stab them in a weak spot like some wiring or something, not directly into the metal plates. And yeah, she was using heavy strike for almost all those clips
10:17 I do have an explanation for the scream silencing. While very hard or impossible to execute in an air assassination, the most skilled Assassins use the width of the Hidden Blade to completely obstruct the airways when puncturing the neck. Blowing the mouth with the other hand as also facilitates the acquisition of the proper angle.
While not particularly stealthy, you can take out enemies in Watch_Dogs 2 by calling the police (or other gangsters) on them, who will then drive up and engage in a light, friendly shoot-out. Enemies gone, and nobody knows you're behind it... even if the whole neighbourhood heard the shooting.
did that all the time, Id spend half an hour sometimes sitting just outside a search zone with my drone inside calling the cops on security guards one after the other
I'd pay a decent amount of money for a remake of the PS1 trilogy. The voice acting still holds up, so they wouldn't even have to go to the expense of re-recording it.
In Dishonored 2, if you take the head off of a clockwork soldier and then perform a drop assassination (doing that on a non-headless soldier takes the head off instead of killing it) technically counts as stealth, in that it does not raise your detection counter, even though the result is that the thing flails around violently before EXPLODING, which is sure to attract, if not every single officer of the Grand Guard of Karnaca, then at LEAST the ones in Jindosh's mansion
The Last Of Us. Somehow enemies are left unaware that their buddy is being choked out next to them, despite them struggling and clearly making a lot of noise. Even the shiv doesn't make it that much quieter
Swordsman Studios wether its ai human opponents or in real life people are rarely aware of what is above them. Being high up in video games in tf2 and killing someone will often lead to accusations of hacking or hackusations as some call them.
Honestly....how many times do people look up in real life. In my 3 years of retail experience I can say that few people look at anything above their natural line of sight or lower.
+Brian Durio Which is exactly why grocery stores often put the store-brand merchandise on the top or bottom shelf, and all the name-brand merchandise at eye level. Their profit margin on the name brands is higher, and that's the first thing you see unless you're either a dwarf or a giant. (Or unless you're aware of the tricks that grocery stores use, and actually remember to check the top and bottom shelves...)
Prior to the invention of flying machines, how often did attacks really come from above? And unless the assassin was SEEN killing someone from above, it's not like they have a reason to suspect that someone is going to drop off the belltower 15 meters in the air and kill them.
Almost any execution from the Manhunt games, especially the second game where most of your enemies literally cry out loudly and other enemies continue their normal stroll, yet so much as punching the wall or kicking a bottle is enough to attract their attention when hiding
Symphon Filter was my life!!! The dudes with the yellow hazmat suit had the best guns man... I haven't thought of this game until now, thanks commenting person. N I'm thinking back like '98, give or take a few yrs.
Was looking for this comment lol. They were doing normal strikes throughout the whole segment, not silent strikes. 6:55 was a major fail lmao. I guess outsidexbox doesn't understand ps4 buttons.
RIGHT!? I was looking for this comment too!!! Omg! You're supposed to press R1 to silent strike. Heavy strikes dont even enter into it. Bless you Ellen you're adorable, but yeah...you got it wrong 🤷♂️
aww... Still no Reaper stealth shot from XCOM 2 War of the Chosen? The shot where you simply just shoot a dude with a Dragunov rifle, and then his friends right next to him simply can't figure out where you are? You can even upgrade the ability, making it so any kill made with the Dragunov in stealth have 0% chance to reveal the Reaper
For the eldritch take down thing at the end, what if the being was powerful enough to make other enemies not even see it's magic, or hear the bones beak until after the enemy was dead?
If you guys do another one of these (which I personally believe you should), you've got to remember to include some of Spider-Man Noir's takedowns from Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. Some of them are actually stealthy, but most are kind of ridiculous.
The flaw here in both thus and tge original video is that "stealth" is being confused for "covert". Stealth means without resistance(i.e. from the target). Covert means without raising suspicion. All these examples across both videos are indeed STEALTH. They are mostly not covert, even though the games treat them as such. Example being a Stealth Bomber can blow up a target without the target seeing it coming, but people will be instantly aware it happened.
Here are your picks of "stealth" takedowns that were ANYTHING BUT. Enjoy, and apologies in advance for showing you the effects of Watch Dogs 2's Shuffler Outfit :/

I got a "suppressed" kill in MGSV by shooting someone from far away with a 50cal. Machinegun mounted to an ACP.
Suppressing fire.
twinodoom that'd make sense if it wasn't the same message that came up when I shot someone with a sniper rifle with a silencer.
how? if i shoot a fucking .22 from very, VERY far away the whole map will be alerted... ffs
BrunoGamesBR Idk but It was really freaking funny.
They said that as in suppressing fire. If they meant suppressed as in quiet, they would’ve said silent kill
Another video that proves how excellent the Oxbox community are :D
Caitlin RC hey!
Caitlin RC congrats on getting a heart, now if only the outsidextra crew could give this tin man a heart
Yep
Excellent content + excellent presenters = excellent fanbase!
Ah I love this community
Can't believe Ellen said "nobody in history..." and wasn't immediately tackled by Andy screaming "HISTORY!!"
Andy appears in a cloud of smoke leaning on the chair- "Well Ellen it's funny you should mention belts as they have a long a fascinating history! Dating back to bronze age garments...."
Both of these happened however they were edited out so the video wasn't eight hours long.
Thanks for Syphon Filter mention here! Played game back in day and always found the over-the-top results of taser attacks to be quite something.
Deadpool's hammer kills are awesome, particularly the first one shown where he lines their head up carefully.
Probably best to show an actual silent strike rather than a regular melee attack when it comes to Horizon Zero Dawn...
I was just thinking that, which is unfortunate because the *ACTUAL* silent strike attack is still SUPER FREAKING LOUD, especially when you destroy a machine in one hit and it *friggin explodes everywhere*. Its not something you can mistime, since the Silent Strike is a straight up animated attack that you have no control over.
D. Burrow I dunno, I've mistimed it occasionally by pressing R1 a millisecond before the prompt appeared when either my target or I were moving, and I'll admit, pretty embarrassing.
Yeah kinda thought the same thing
I think more the fact they were talking about mistiming an input and showing a clip of someone just straight up doing the wrong input repeatedly makes me lose a little faith in OX's ability to read :/
Not to mention, these robotic thingies look like sophisticated pieces of machinery. Even if the protagonist had a way to mask her presence from these*, surely the robots would have a way to register one of their own missing, regardless of circumstances and their stealthiness?
"Loudly shatters all their bones with eldritch magic."
Oh my God, Prudence is the Shuffler
Prudence? Jane? The Shuffler?
Well, after seeing a couple of dance clips we knew she wasn't the Jive Bunny, but I wouldn't have had her down as the Shuffler. More the back-and-forth looped .gif, if anything.
*YES!* I've been waiting for this one!
Love these lengthier vids by the way.
Also, that "yeehaw" got me.😂
6:04 they didn't even do a silent strike they just did a loud hit to make it more loud I would know I play the game but yes there right it's loud af
Is nobody else gonna call this out? They are doing a heavy strike R2 not the silent one.. wow do your reaearch guys
Omg I’m not the only one
The silent strike is loud but most zero dawn clips are aloy using heavy attack
Thank gods someone else noticed this. It was driving me mad throughout that segment.
Fact that the rb R2 or z is loud and the e or whatever is on other platforms stealthy but still louder than tge r2
"A ghost that uses a spine to whip people..."
Bing Bong Boy! And, coincidentally, he's the stealthiest killer in the game. Predators are all about that stealth life and cordage too, but they usually prefer the coconut attached : D
In fairness to FarCry... random animal attacks have been more common than set-up bait kills.
The flying meat could also be co-worker debris from the nearby outpost that just blew up for no reason at all, no big deal.
Lord of the Rings: Shadow of Mordor, loudly shouting you are taking over an orc's mind with no other orc noticing. Even ones right in front of them!
I don't think anyone could see or hear him unless he wanted them to.
MrDudeshutup123 *SUFFER ME NOW!*
Depends on if this is just Celebrimbor shouting or Talion speaks as well- as Celebrimbor is a ghost and almost nobody can see or hear him aside from Talion.
Also some of the normal "stealth" kills, most of which cause the Uruks to make an awful lot of noise, but somebody two feet away still won't have a clue.
8:07. Jesus how many bullets does it take to kill a bear?
All of them.
Shadow Siphon you'd be surprised...
Shadow Siphon Animals In Far Cry 4 are remarkably durable. For example, you can kill an unarmoured man with one shot from the Recurve Bow. Dholes (small wild dogs) need two shots. Bears are much larger than dholes, and are therefore much tougher.
More than 1.
And they were toned down from Far Cry 3.
So Andy wears velcro shoes, the least stealthy shoes possible... the audacity as he remains the king of stealth... ALL HAIL ANDY! (shush)
for the horizon zero dawn segment half of those attacks aren't even the "silent strike" skill. to activate silent strike you press R1, aloy slides on the ground next to the machine, and does a single, powerful thrust to the machines core, which "kills" it. half of the clips that you used in your video are of the player pressing R2, which is a heavy attack and does not activate the silent strike skill. Don't get me wrong, the stealth kills on machines are no where near quiet , but I hate how you misrepresent the game by not even bothering to get clips that show the proper skill in question.
And base jokes off of it...
Here to say the same thing mate
Technically its stealth if I leave no one alive.
xX12intheairXx Tell that Dishonored
Ahh the Mike approach
xX12intheairXx is this a proxy account for Mike?
I like how for horizon there was only one stealth takedown shown out of the 4+ clips of a "stealth takedown" when most were a heavy attack that stunned the machine
Ikr?
that one really hurt watching
I was thinking the same
Alexander the hamster IS with you goldfish, Luke! They're playing hide and seek together in a better place...
Alex O A FARM! ... That's the better place they meant... You can't visit though...
(Junkrat voice):
*”I N C O N S P I C U O U S”*
*the hunter, sets a trap for his prey*
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to be sick."
Best laugh I've had all week
Ellen, Luke, Mike, Andy, James, Alexander the Stealth Hamster...
Your mission should you choose to accept it: stop Jane from acquiring the Shuffler suit. We have intelligence placing her in London.
The fate of the world is in your hands.
This comment will self-destruct in 10 seconds.
@Cmdr. Janeway: I call hex! I've waited twenty seconds and there was no self-destruction of any kind... well, there's half a minute I ain't getting back :D
@Kerwyn Impossible Eldritch Force assumes no liabilities for non self-destructing comments. Also, any team members caught, driven insane, or eaten by the Old Ones during the course of their missions will be disavowed by the hysterical and insane ramblings in the after action report.
Wolf Rider, you know... I thought I forgot something
This Cinco De Mayo, remember to adorn cardboard boxes accordingly
J. Kelly *Cinco de Quatro
I need more sombreros.
Oliver Costello mayo is correct
That shuffler kill thing.. What the frickle frack
some people say, if you listen closely enough, you can still hear it guarding the briefcase
Kind of frickle frack, kind of scruntle scrit, kind of chunter chont, kind of a squishy squip ... it's really a mixture of many different sounds.
It feels like a reference to another game. If not maybe they should make it. Seeing that just makes me want to skip playing the rest of the first WD and jump to Watch Dogs 2
how did I miss that in watch dogs...
I did not expect WD2 to have a horror side quest. And those are usually my favorites.
most of those clips from Horizon Zero Dawn weren't even using the "Silent Strike" ability... they were just using the heavy attack from a crouched position...
Was looking for someone else saying this. Because that was most definitely not the silent strike
I hate when you have to use the same button as the attack button to silent attack. But if you miss the prompt then boom there goes the stealth option
To be fair, these "Silent Strikes" are as they say they are.
Whenever you "non-lethally" knock someone out in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands. I knew I would think of that name sometime! Anyways, there's a LOUD cracking sound. I could hear that from the other room! Poor Carlos...
Good video as usual, but most of the Horizon Zero Dawn clips didn't even feature Aloy using the silent strike skill. Instead, most of those clips were of her using a light or heavy attack . It was a mistake to say that you can miss with this skill, because when you execute the silent strike skill it never misses. Depending on the size of the machine it may not be a one hit kill, but it never misses.
Yeah. And its way quieter than they say
Aerial takedowns in Assassin's Creed aren't so much "faith and trust in gravity", it's more faith and trust that jumping your brittle and snappable bones ten metres onto someone else, who is a pile of snappable and brittle bones with most of the pointy bits facing up, won't break and leave you rolling on the ground clutching your shattered femur, with their ribs poking through yours.
The first rule of the Jane protocol is ‘ You don’t talk about the Jane protocol’...ssh
I honestly never noticed the Assassins' Creed bit because I always used those takedowns to quickly take out an enemy at the start of a fight, and the few times I used it in stealth, it was when there was no one remotely close by
7:25 who's gonna tell him? I dont have the heart to do it
Let’s just NOT tell him
With Horizon: Zero Dawn your problem is that in 75% of those clips you were using the heavy attack... not silent strike.
Even with the actual silent strike the player was still hitting metal with metal
Finally someone. Thank you
With silent strike I'm pretty sure the idea is that you stab them in a weak spot like some wiring or something, not directly into the metal plates. And yeah, she was using heavy strike for almost all those clips
lol that bothered me so much that i had to see if someone else saw that as well
Maybe it was a Mike play session.
Luke's face at Ellen's yee-ha!: "Oh we're gonna get comments about that."
I hate it when it games you take out someone but the sound effect is so high you'd expect people hundreds of meters to hear it
I was really hoping you’d play an actual clip of Optimus Prime falling down stairs to prove your point.
This!
Clicking on these vids for the titles, watching for the mid clip gags.
Keep up the good work, love the vids. ❤
Ok, who wants to tell Luke about his hamster...
... and his goldfish...
Luke was obviously expecting some plastic sporks, as any sensible person would.
The true stealtheist hat is a chicken hat proven by mgs5
Lol loved siphon filter. It was thoroughly ridiculous. From the parachute-pants running animation to the taser immolation, it was gold.
10:17 I do have an explanation for the scream silencing. While very hard or impossible to execute in an air assassination, the most skilled Assassins use the width of the Hidden Blade to completely obstruct the airways when puncturing the neck. Blowing the mouth with the other hand as also facilitates the acquisition of the proper angle.
While not particularly stealthy, you can take out enemies in Watch_Dogs 2 by calling the police (or other gangsters) on them, who will then drive up and engage in a light, friendly shoot-out.
Enemies gone, and nobody knows you're behind it... even if the whole neighbourhood heard the shooting.
did that all the time, Id spend half an hour sometimes sitting just outside a search zone with my drone inside calling the cops on security guards one after the other
That is almost a a video all its own. Top 10 contracts players can call in on enemies.
So Jane's eldritch blast is levitating enemies into the air and breaking all their bones? Sounds right.
I always forget that Siphon Filter let you use the taser on someone long enough to make them catch on fire
I'd pay a decent amount of money for a remake of the PS1 trilogy. The voice acting still holds up, so they wouldn't even have to go to the expense of re-recording it.
“Noisier than Optimus Prime”? Wow, just wow
To be fair look at the bay former movies
I'm now binge watching everything you guys do so I'm late to the party but... Mark of Kri had the most amazing "silent" takedowns
Sneaky snek is not so sneaky
No No, Sneky Sneak Is Not So Sneky
no no, sneky snek is not so sneky...
luke did you checked for alexender inside a box with a sombero hat
I need to see video of this alleged parkour phase. Immediately. Plz.
Phil Philson it's probably as long as a vine
I love how when they were talking about silent strike and the player was using a heavy attack. Much lying, such amazing.
In Dishonored 2, if you take the head off of a clockwork soldier and then perform a drop assassination (doing that on a non-headless soldier takes the head off instead of killing it) technically counts as stealth, in that it does not raise your detection counter, even though the result is that the thing flails around violently before EXPLODING, which is sure to attract, if not every single officer of the Grand Guard of Karnaca, then at LEAST the ones in Jindosh's mansion
The Last Of Us. Somehow enemies are left unaware that their buddy is being choked out next to them, despite them struggling and clearly making a lot of noise. Even the shiv doesn't make it that much quieter
On the subject on Assassin's Creed "death from above" is there a historical reason why no one EVER looks up? I'm counting on you, Andy.
Swordsman Studios wether its ai human opponents or in real life people are rarely aware of what is above them. Being high up in video games in tf2 and killing someone will often lead to accusations of hacking or hackusations as some call them.
Honestly....how many times do people look up in real life. In my 3 years of retail experience I can say that few people look at anything above their natural line of sight or lower.
To be fair, if half of your fellow guards were killed with a strike from above,you WILL look up all the time .
+Brian Durio Which is exactly why grocery stores often put the store-brand merchandise on the top or bottom shelf, and all the name-brand merchandise at eye level. Their profit margin on the name brands is higher, and that's the first thing you see unless you're either a dwarf or a giant. (Or unless you're aware of the tricks that grocery stores use, and actually remember to check the top and bottom shelves...)
Prior to the invention of flying machines, how often did attacks really come from above? And unless the assassin was SEEN killing someone from above, it's not like they have a reason to suspect that someone is going to drop off the belltower 15 meters in the air and kill them.
Alexander is stealthy.
Luke didn't know Andy before Alexander left.
Andy is stealthy.
Alexander is Andy.
Me watching the Shuffler takedowns: "ELDRTICH BLAST! ELDRITCH BLAST!"
Pretty sure that qualifies as an invocation.
Almost any execution from the Manhunt games, especially the second game where most of your enemies literally cry out loudly and other enemies continue their normal stroll, yet so much as punching the wall or kicking a bottle is enough to attract their attention when hiding
Someone should remix Ellen’s reaction to the Horizon stealth bit. Sounds like it would make a good dance number.
How about that one stealth takedown from that one game that was about stealth
But everything you did wasn't stealthy......
PERFECT
Assassins need so many belts because they are constantly waisting people.
Hahaha
Hahaha
Just stop plz
Symphon Filter was my life!!! The dudes with the yellow hazmat suit had the best guns man... I haven't thought of this game until now, thanks commenting person. N I'm thinking back like '98, give or take a few yrs.
*Makes fun of stealth kills in horizon.*
*Cant even tell the diference of a heavy blow from the silent strike.*
welp
I was searching for this comment
Oh thank fuck someone said it
Was looking for this comment lol. They were doing normal strikes throughout the whole segment, not silent strikes. 6:55 was a major fail lmao. I guess outsidexbox doesn't understand ps4 buttons.
RIGHT!? I was looking for this comment too!!! Omg! You're supposed to press R1 to silent strike. Heavy strikes dont even enter into it. Bless you Ellen you're adorable, but yeah...you got it wrong 🤷♂️
aww...
Still no Reaper stealth shot from XCOM 2 War of the Chosen? The shot where you simply just shoot a dude with a Dragunov rifle, and then his friends right next to him simply can't figure out where you are? You can even upgrade the ability, making it so any kill made with the Dragunov in stealth have 0% chance to reveal the Reaper
Luke, I think it's time we sit down and talk to you about the great Hamster Wheel in the sky... also about your goldfish.
Thumbs up for the candy that bounced off of Ellen's head
Cloudy with a chance of -Meatballs- *KNIFES*
What I wouldn't give for another chance to play Siphon filter again! Such an underrated game.
What really ruins a stealth kill is when everyone stands around shouting Crit, Crit, Crit, Crit
For the eldritch take down thing at the end, what if the being was powerful enough to make other enemies not even see it's magic, or hear the bones beak until after the enemy was dead?
Eldritch magic, boy prudence and or Cthulhu will real proud
If you guys do another one of these (which I personally believe you should), you've got to remember to include some of Spider-Man Noir's takedowns from Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. Some of them are actually stealthy, but most are kind of ridiculous.
The flaw here in both thus and tge original video is that "stealth" is being confused for "covert". Stealth means without resistance(i.e. from the target). Covert means without raising suspicion. All these examples across both videos are indeed STEALTH. They are mostly not covert, even though the games treat them as such. Example being a Stealth Bomber can blow up a target without the target seeing it coming, but people will be instantly aware it happened.
