Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

I find that if you watch this gif and imagine the alert sound from Metal Gear solid as the hidden cat stands up the entire experience is increased tenfold.

[–]MrRabbit 8 points9 points ago

What we need is a gif with sound...

[–]Hiphoppington[S] 23 points24 points ago

[–]WhipSlagCheek 6 points7 points ago

Luckily the enemy has a convenient disorder that causes them to have a narrow line of vision of only 5 feet.

[–]funkyselection 2 points3 points ago

Thats why they walk in circles all day, they have no idea where the hell they are.

[–]WarPhalange 6 points7 points ago

What I absolutely despise are sections that seem like you can sneak past but really can't. So I try over and over... and it just doesn't work.

[–]Nawara_Ven 2 points3 points ago

Assassin's Creed 1 was kinda bad for this.

Notice the carefully-placed platforms overlooking the cemetery, and the barrel leading up to that vantage point... hmmm... CUTSCENE! SWORD FIGHT!

Assassin's Creed 1 was kinda bad

Stealth sections are always my favorite.

This gif represents 95% of all new AC:R online players (Running, gives away my position? Well that's just preposteroGUAUURGHUHHHHHHHhhhhhh....... dies)

Haha this brings back some great memories.

Me and my mate used to play GTA San Andreas loads and I'd ALWAYS get stuck with the stealth missions which I am terrible at.

I'm walking along, trying to be quiet and hide in the shadows, when some dude walks along in front of me so I tap the 'target' button and shoot him but before I know what's going on there's more dudes running around in front and behind me and I'm just spazzing out twatting the 'target' and 'shoot' buttons spinning in circles, not actually shooting anyone as I panic more and more until I die. We were both pretty stoned but it was fucking hilarious.

I will never bother playing MGS or Splinter Cell or anything like that.

[–]magneticclip 0 points1 point ago

I spend a lot of time trying to be stealthy only so one guy can find me. I have to kill him and everyone else that comes running as a result. This makes all my previous stealthwork seem unnecessary. :(

[–]JinAnkabut 0 points1 point ago

This is what I'm like in clothes shops :(

[–]delta36 0 points1 point ago

I'm like that too only I use a wrecking ball :D

[–]Thraxbama 0 points1 point ago

I find I never actually finish a stealth mission stealthily. I get about halfway through, fuck up, and then I kill everybody and casually walk over to my objective.

[–]philphan25 0 points1 point ago

Did that guy see me? Better make sure. shot Shit, forgot silencer. Run n gun time.

[–]JollyRogers40 0 points1 point ago

Goldeneye must have been at bitch for you then.

[–]CakeDispenser 0 points1 point ago

The GIF explains how stealthy I am in Splinter Cell.

[–]RyanJamesOD 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of portions of uncharted games where it would be much simpler to take out the enemies quietly. I will get through 1 or 2 before giving up and reverting to the ol' run 'n' gun.

[–]Muteyy 0 points1 point ago

I sometimes play stealth games like CoD and play CoD like stealth game.

[–]OfUnknownOrigin 0 points1 point ago

You and me both brother add a mic and some speakers and I'm totally there.

[–]Manning119 0 points1 point ago

This is why I don't play Splinter Cell.

[–]Cuccoteaser 0 points1 point ago

I can relate.

[–]Diplocephalus 0 points1 point ago

Every Uncharted level.

MGS4 when I got tired of Snake's ass in my face(wtf Kojima never make a suit that tight again).

[–]all_white_turkey 0 points1 point ago

truly a terrible idea clicking on this link while in the library. Thank you for making everyone give me dirty looks as a result of me laughing out loud haha

[–]thepallevante 0 points1 point ago

[–]Masoompeshaach -1 points0 points ago
