I'll take any excuse to hear Snake Eater in-game again.

Well you're in luck then.

And it's way better the next time.

Sounds like it's time to marathon the rest of this game, then. I've got 3 days before I have to do anything important, so I think I should be just fine.

Also, what's Snake vs. Monkey?
---

Snake vs Monkey was the rwsult of some sort of collaboration between KP and the Ape Escape developers. I dunno the details of the collaboration but the short of it is MGS3 had the Snake vs Monkey minigame and AE3 had Mesal Gear Solid. Each is a minigame with mechanics very similar to its own main game but a premise like the opposite's. So Snake vs Monkey plays like MGS3 except instead of sneaking around in the Cold War, you're catching escaped monkies. It's pretty fun. Turned out better than Mesal Gear Solid, despite Mesal feeling like it had a way bigger budget. Mesal is still worth playing, though, and AE3 main game is fantastic.

Will have to check that out once I beat the game.

"I think I just saw something"
"I must be seeing things"

Yeah, no shit.

Sorry but you won't be escaping the next boss fight alive.

I'm not being a dick lol you'll see :p

Just ignore me and read this post again later.

I fucking love The Fury.
---

ok seriously where the hell is this stupid locker room
---

Look around for the room with all the lockers in it. there you will find it.
---

oh my god that was the locker room
why was that the locker room
i spent 20 minutes dragging raikov around the building trying to find the locker room and it was right there
i hate myself rn
---

The feeling of just walking past enemy soldiers as they scramble to find whoever blew up their weapons cache is amazing.
---

Wow, that went dark quickly.
---

Holy shit, that got SUPER dark. I can't believe Kojima doesn't know Coulombs are the unit of charge.
---

Figured out how to beat The Sorrow. The last few hours of this game have been super heavy. Volgin beating the shit out of Snake, Snake losing an eye, having to face all of the people that you've killed... I wonder what else this game has in store.
---

Best MGS ever.
---

oh my god that eyepatch looks so badass
---

And as I get started on this (I assume it isn't the final mission), I think it's as good a time as any to stop.
---

Holy s***, that got SUPER dark. I can't believe Kojima doesn't know Coulombs are the unit of charge.

You can never tell with Kojima. For example, there is no Russian jungle. The closest thing they have is a rain forest. It wouldn't surprise me if he threw that in just to make people go "wait what" or even better just to (on the downlow) point out that Volgin has absolutely no idea what he is talking about or what he is doing at any point in the game, regardless of how well he should.

Or yeah, could also just be that he legit doesn't know better.

I always assumed that there was a Russian jungle and never questioned it. Now it sounds weird now that I think about it.
---

How am I expected to use any water on Volgin?
---

wow, that fight was probably the easiest one so far, even easier than ocelot
---

This game only keeps getting more awesome.
---

And Volgin's done for now?
---

It's a nice touch that EVA has her own medical and food history.
---

"Imagine whether America and Russia will still be enemies in the 21st century. Somehow, I doubt it."

you doubt wrong
---

this is gonna be a long boss fight
---

I screwed up The Boss's CQC animation REALLY horribly somehow.
---

This camera is actual garbage
---

That made me tear up a little.

luigi13579 posted...

What version are you playing? Subsistence has a better camera.

no it doesn't

the game wasn't designed for over the shoulder camera.

subsistence camera ruins any challenge the game had.

did you do no kill for the the bosses?

if you do, you get their camos, with the exception of the End; you get his tranq sniper rifle. you have to hold him up three times to get his camo

That's a thing?

The only boss's camo that I got was The Sorrow's, and I don't know how.
---

yea, you can get them from all of the bosses, even Ocelot and Volgin

How?
---

you just take down their stamina with a tranq gun or cqc (for Volgin and The Boss)

There were a few frustrating parts and I really didn't enjoy the camera the entire way through, but I absolutely loved it, even though I'm trash at stealth games. Might go for a second playthrough later.

Glad to hear it. Shitty camera plagues the game (as it did with MGS2), but I think that it's definitely overshadowed by the rest of the game. I've played the game probably 4 or 5 times, and a second playthrough is totes worth it. No kill, no alert and getting all frogs are all neat goals.

_Near_ posted...

no alert

no pls
---

lol, I tried doing that, and resetting every time I got one. at the end, I found out that I had 1 alert. it was horrible.
