I can't find her consistently enough, I don't think I'd ever pull that off.

If you time the CQC button right as she starts her disarm move and you do a counter animation like he tries in the first cutscene with her but because he's a hardened soldier now he can do it successfully.

Were the two non-Kojima writers involved in any of the other MGS games? The writing in this one is pretty different.

The writing teams were more or less the same across MGS1, 2, and 3. 4 is where a major creative lead left and it kind of shows.

I'm playing that one next, then Peace Walker. Sadly, I'll have to wait a long time to get a PS4 and play MGSV.

Each MGS game has been this massive improvement over the last one, and it's a little disappointing to know that won't be the case again until MGSV.

Though I anticipate 4 and Peace Walker still being good.

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

4 is still a massive improvement over 3 from a gameplay perspective, it's just that it was like a mandated sequel and you can tell that Kojima's heart wasn't in it. Also Peace Walker is really good

In Training

The only bad part about Peace Walker is the boss fights being tuned to multiplayer, but if you're playing on PS3 I can do coop with you and it's awesome. I played through most of the game cool with BennyD and it was a really good experience.

This is unrelated to everything but it's funny when I was rereading the E3 thread the EA conference happened right after the MGSV trailer premiered and for like an hour one guy was posting like "Wow. More FIFA footage :rolleyes: " while everybody else spent 10 pages posting MGSV theories from the 4 minutes of cutscenes they showed.

I beat Volgin but he's way harder than the Fury. Is there some trick to make him easier?

next time you do this fight, keep those mushrooms that recharge your battery in your inventory. throw them onto the ground and when he does an electric attack, the mushrooms will take the hit instead of you.

I think I flew through MGS3 the first time too bc I got so into it

I didn't like MGS4 very much but by far the coolest thing was getting feelings of intense nostalgia for a series that i had actually started like two weeks before

I had to totally relearn both MGS2 and MGS3, they're really hard at first.

Lay down behind the crates and crawl over to whatever side she's not on. Crouch, then go into FPS mode. Hold r2 and l2 together to lift your head up, then take a shot. Repeat.

Basically try to make her lose track of you by hiding, then you can take your time to hit her.

No, but you can go from a crawl to a crouch. She'll spot you if you stand up. After you shoot, she'll think you're still where you were. So crawl to the other side and let her shoot/grenade where you were.
