I love stealth games and the last stealth game I played was Splinter Cell Blacklist, which in my opinion is the purest stealth game I've ever played. I played it on perfectionist and I absolutely loved it. The way I like to approach stealth games is to get by enemies like a ghost. I prefer to get by them without disturbing them, instead of silently taking everybody down. SC: Blacklist offered me all the tools to play in such a manner, with sticky noisemakers etc.
So when I got into mgs 5 I found that the stealth mechanics are very different from splinter cell. It seems that most of the time I have to take down some guard. And even then, the guards wake up after a while... I saw some walkthroughs online and the s rank players all end up shooting every guard in the head with sleep darts? That feels quite cheap to me. There was a mission, eliminate the renegade threat which i completed yesterday. I watched the s rank playthroughs and it involved some quick and easy sniper shots to the head which imo is not a fun way to finish the mission.
So can anyone help me understand how the stealth works in this game and how I can have more fun with it?
