Don't even PRETEND you didn't have a bad time with this mission WITH equipment WITH reflex mode WITH Diamond Dog WITHOUT a heroic amount of alcohol in your system

Alright I had the last one the first time I played this too but shut up

The kids are what everyone remembers, but yeah banning yourself from being able to shamelessly and lazily blow gunships out of the sky is pretty loving rough in this mission.

Flip a coin every ??? minutes. Heads Danaru is the best Metal Gear player you have ever seen, tails for Hotshots Part 3. Coin lands on the edge, Dan's suffering is so powerful that the time he posted is the blood sacrifice that fixes the phone and internet service being down in my area for over 12 hours.

Kaz needs a serious reminder about how he couldn't walk either when you dragged his broken rear end out of a Soviet prison, biff him in the ocean along with all the unsanitary troublemakers and see how he likes that.

Man, the Kid Liquid fight is just bizarrely fun, I think it's the best use of CQC/QTEs in the game. And of course it's all the more fun because you're racing around chasing a small child to clown on them. It's also one of my favorite bits you can skip with foreknowledge, you can just sit around from a ways away and send in a rocket puuuunch from way outside detection range :v:

And yeah, since it came up, that bit about Ocelot hypnotizing himself really doesn't sit well with me. On a second playthrough there's so many lines of dialogue that seem really clearly set up to have Ocelot be the only one in the know all along, I have to think they got cold feet on that pretty late in production for some reason. Either way, I think it makes the story worse, and my mind subconsciously tries to forget it every time I'm reminded of it.

You've discussed the characters' ages before. From some months ago:

Mikl posted:

According to the wiki, Big Boss was born in 1935, nine years before Ocelot. So he's 49 during this game, which is set in 1984.

MGS3 was 1964, so Big Boss was 28-29 during that. Meanwhile Ocelot was explicitly born during the Battle of Normandy, 1944, so he's 19-20 during MGS3. Ocelot's a full nine years younger than Big Boss.

It's me, I'm the guy who thinks it's good that they didn't put the ending into the game, from what I've seen it would just have been bad and cutting down on the child soldier and Liquid stuff is just good. You really don't need to do the Star Wars thing of over-explaining every character's back story.

I am legitimately impressed, I rarely last more than a few minutes here even coming in with crazy OP equipment, never mind lasting for an hour-long marathon when things head south.
It really is a shame how they handled CQC here. Snake slapping machetes aside is probably the coolest counter in the game, it really sucks that that turns into 40 minutes of taking down the Skulls' health bars a pixel at a time rather than being the badass way to take them out quickly.

This reminds me of my first time through the game, because I only really had non-lethal weapons researched. Of course I gave up after 15 minutes of cqc, opting instead to sit in the chopper for an hour while I researched machine guns and explosives.

Sadly even with good equipment the armor skulls really suck.
