10 Video Games With Stealth Missions That Are Totally Out Of Place

We were fired up when the news broke that Sega would be releasing the first and second parts of Shenmue for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. The Dreamcast classic was for a long time the most expensively produced video game of all time, and brought together a number of special features: an open game world, a daily routine, including jobs for the main character, motion capturing for the animations and the introduction of quick-time events.

Despite all the innovation, Shenmue holds a loss for using old design patterns and too many cut scenes which tend to appear at the most inconvenient times.

But that's by far not the biggest hiccup inherent in the game – the assignment where you have to sneak into an old warehouse in the middle of the night easily takes the cake. For starters, you've got to creep past a guard station. Once you're inside the Old Warehouse District it gets more challenging - you have to make it past several patrolling guards to find Warehouse No. 8.

Even though the guards are designed to act as dim witted as possible, the archaic animations and the dim flashlight actually make this level very difficult to complete, thus the payoff is a combination of confusion and frustration.
