yeah i have to wait till its on pc before i can play it,but it looked real good,i just hope that the killing parts i saw are not all mandatory,would be so cool if that game could be ghosted.
also i would have put in a thief board but i got flamed so bad last time ,i did not want to take the chance,but i hope the thief people come to this board to see the video

Killing is certainly not mandatory. In fact the only way to get a perfect score is to not kill anyone (unless the objective calls for it). Not sure if ghosting is possible though, in some places you need to distract the guards to get past.

Are you sure it's not just that you consistently post in a manner that is really quite awful to read?
There are some basic things you can do that would help this. For example, when making a new thread about "Mark of the Ninja", you could first check to see if there is already a thread about "Mark of the Ninja". If there is, post in that rather than making a new thread.
On the off-chance there isn't already a thread, then by all means make one, but rather than

Why not try something like

SUBJECT: I don't know if anyone's been following Mark of the Ninja, but check out this video:
::LINK::
It's a pseudo-2D stealth game, sort of like StealthBastard, only better. And with Ninjas!
After being console-only, at long last it's coming to the PC.
Thoughts?
That way you actually have a title that tells the reader that they're about to watch a youtube video of
gameplay (rather than..hell, horseporn? Who knows what goes on in thiefgen.. ;)), and it's gameplay of a stealth-based 2D stealthbastard-esque ninja game. And again, definitely not horseporn.
Also, you can explain a bit about the game in the post, rather than just reiterating the title. In bold.
It would just make things easier for the rest of us. Also, comma THEN space.
(the best thing about doing it this way, incidentally, is that one day when nobody is expecting it, you can do exactly the same thing, but this time... BAM! HORSEPORN)

Shush.
You're just encouraging Matthew to post
My Little Pony gifs again.
Where IS Matthew, anyway?

I don't really see Thiefgen chasing you out. They're very accepting of weirdos with horrible English. So, to reiterate, no you didn't.

Here's a pretty good gameplay video of someone doing a no kills+no detection speedrun of the first level (in NG+), equipped with late-game techniques and gadgets.

He's using the Path of Silence outfit, which silences your footsteps when running but takes away your sword, so stealth-kills are impossible. He does however have a quite handy knockout-gas which disables guards for a few seconds, as well as some kind of flying glide-move that I hadn't seen before.
I think I'm past the halfway mark in the story, but I keep going back and replaying earlier levels, just to discover all the secrets and to try to do all the side-objectives. Loving this game. Might well by my GOTY so far. :)

Oh my God OH MY GOD THAT WAS GOOD
Of course it looked great and played great and everything but what really caught me by surprise was the story, which started out as the usual ninja revenge mumbojumbo but got really intense by the end.
*just deleted a bunch of stuff I wrote about the story because it's probably better the less you know*
And the gameplay, man. Comparing it to Stealth Bastard isn't really fair, because while SB was indeed a good game it was basically just a stealth-themed platformer. MotN is a full-fledged stealth game as fleshed out in it's AI behaviour and the complexity of the emergent gameplay situations that come up as something like the Batman games.
Some of the best 1200 MS Points I've ever spent. Anyone who has a 360 is defenitely encouraged to get this game RIGHT NOW!
Oh man. I've replayed most of the missions already but I think I might go ahead and start up the NG+ campaign anyway. Apparently it makes the game more challenging by removing the visual audio-cues(like displaying how far sound travels) and also narrowing your peripheral vision, so you really only see what your character sees. I'm liking the sound of that.
