The lack of cover system...

[Roland]

...bugs the ♥♥♥♥ out of me.

I'd understand if stealth was completely optional, but from what I've seen so far not only does it seem to be mandatory at times, but it seems preferable even; if you're not a masochist.

Am i alone in thinking that any game with a heavy stealth component should have at the very least a corner cover system, if not a full cover system with corner peek?

The first game I ever played with a wallhugging/cover system was Tenchu, so like personally, I feel it's a staple of stealth.

Now see, while I'm only about 3-4 hours into the game (maybe 5-6, how do you measure time in non-linear games?) and I want to bring something up but I can't without spoilers

I mean they don't use Stealth either as is brought up several times in those few hours, and the first bonus objective where I had to assassinate someone there was a whole MGS4 "you enjoy the killing" flashback type deal where Jin apologized for breaking the code. So I mean if you're already being very "un-samurai like" why half ass it?
