Who the hell thought instant fail stealth sections were a good idea?

[Adventuring Through Games]

I was enjoying this game up until the first stealth section with Scarecrow. Total change of the gameplay mechanics, and for the worse, too. Are there any cheats or anything I can use to skip this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass part of the game, please?

[Adventuring Through Games]

Already tried it like five times and I'm getting fed up. I don't think I have the patience for this kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ anymore. :( Why did they have to go and ♥♥♥♥ up a perfectly good game?

I thought the same at first, but they're not that bad (played on easy because I'm not looking for extra challenge or frustration). just wait until you see the pattern and only go when it's safe. I died a few times here and there, but even falling doesn't reset the checkpoint, of which there are a few, though there could always be more.

Those were a bit annoying the first couple of times, but as the guys above have said, take it slowly and you'll get the hang of it.

I did it only with KBM and they were tricky to get through.

Oh grow up please, 5 times isn't even remotely close to being frustrating. If you don't have the patience anymore perhaps you shouldn't be playing video games?

You can try using a controller on those levels

Those segements are brilliant. Get gud.

They get more difficult as you progress through the game. I hate some of the normal stealth segments like when you take one guy down stealthily and then everyone knows you are there even if that is a bit later too.

He's talking about the scarecrow segments. The rest of the stealth is not instant fail.

bro you're so bad if you cant get past those parts

I found that the only real problem with the scarecrow sections is that it's kind of side-scrolling but also a bit 3d, so you can easily jump in the wrong direction and miss a ledge or something.
Other than that it's pretty simple. Just avoid the light from his eyes, and you can't go wrong.
Seriously if you're getting messed up on the first of these, which is ridiculously easy, then you really should just stop playing the game.
It might not be the same as other sections, but that's a good thing. It is batman, there is fear gas, there is scarecrow, and the fear gas does cause hallucinations. Where's the problem?
Does a game have to adhere to just a couple of limited gameplay styles? A shooter can't take on any roleplay elements? A flight sim can't have you able to climb out of your ship/plane and walk around?
How boring would gaming be if they did it that way. I know for certain that we wouldn't have my favourite game of all time, metro 2033, if that was the case. Or definitely not as good.
