i mean the guards are really good at spotting you through a windshield and there's usually no warning you're getting too close. its the old far cry 2 problem of just awanting to get to the next side op but you have to deal with guard posts on the way

oh gotcha, the only way to not get spotted is to be in a tank and they figure that out p quick

set way markers to follow a path around guard posts, or send quiet ahead to play sandman

I don't think anyone played it because Driver 3 was garbage but Driver: Parallel Lines was a good game and had a good vehicle stealth system

dear makers of batman: arkham knight

a good puzzle in a video game is hard to solve, but easy to execute. the best portal puzzles are like this, it may take you quite a while to piece together how to solve it but once it clicks you can do it without fail

putting a button on a wall that you have to press by accelerating the batmobile and then ejecting at just the right second to fly across a pit and hit the button is not a challenging puzzle to solve, but it is very frustrating if you need perfect timing on both the boost and the ejection. this goes doubly so when a failure means you have to return to the batmobile, get in it again, back up, and try again.

in short gently caress this riddler challenge and gently caress that catwomans entire story is "dear mr bat man please save me from the riddler"

coulda fooled me given the way that so far she's just locked up as a side quest with the goal "free her"

also for being such a badass character they're really loving awful for using oracles death as a tiny bit of motivation for batman. spoilers again but really does anyone care about loving batplot

its not well explained but anything that boosts batman in the air (car ejection, grapple accelerator thing, diving) allows you to fly upwards quite a bit. once I figured that out it made that puzzle way easier.

Who wants some waffles?

If you are having trouble being spotted while driving in Metal Gear just drive around the outposts, theres always an offroad path to the left or right of the road that you can just cruise though.

Though you should really be stealing all those men for your ocean clubhouse.

anyone who you haven't set as a "direct contract" or is story-related is stealable if the enemy makes it to the objective (a door usually near the highest point of the main strut that only opens when not in combat alert).

e: only dudes on your security team will actually patrol your FOB and be stealable by fulton, though.

how's direct contract work? does it just mean a "I like this guy please do not steal" lock and that's it?
