I should be expecting Drew to do the wrong thing at every single possible juncture at this point, but goddammit it still got me to see him ignoring the game completely and immediately going at Volgin with ALL OF THE WEAPONS despite the game clearly setting up a hand-to-hand encounter and Volgin even having dialogue that literally just says "put the gun away"
Really?
How is that clear? Ocelot throws you ammo and Drew still got him with the weapons

Okay the rest of the episode totally redeemed the first few minutes of the Volgin fight. Although I did catch myself repeating "shoot the treads" beginning the Shagohod fight.
Except for:
1. Everyone telling you to shoot him in the back/his blind spot.
2. All his invulnerability periods where weapons do damage just fine.
3. The fact that, as Drew has shown, he gets stunlocked really easily with weapons.
4. Even Volgin doesn't play by those rules given that he's constantly shooting you with ranged attacks, half of which involve bullets.
5. Like someone mentioned, Ocelot literally drops you ammo.
The vast majority of people probably never did any CQC on Volgin because why the hell would you.

finally catching up on unprofessional fridays. rorie repping for the perfect dark books reminded me of one of my favourite hotspot moments (and the debut? of jeff dramatically reading terrible books)

I guess I'm the exception then because that's what I always did. Snake puts his guns away at the start, it seems to encourage you to fight in CQC, much like the Ninja fight in MGS1. It's just always seemed like the way to go, and it makes for a better fight imo.

that epic as fuck bike sequence still gets me hyped a decade later. Goddamn, if that's not proof that MGS3 is the legit king of MGS games then i don't know what is.
The bike sequence in the base was pretty cool, but did it really need to go on past the airstrip?

I hear you. I'm on episode 8 and it's really daunting to try to tackle the hours of video I'm behind on. I need a good game that I can play while watching these.

i'm sorry, are you implying that it was too short?
yeah, i agree, i could've gone on for another handful of minutes and i wouldn't have been mad about it.
It's too loooooooong!
With the game flat-out lying about the Fury fight and the fact that guns apparently work fine on Volgin, why would you ever bother with punching him?

I know, i agree with you. Kojima should've made MGS3 a 2 disc game, one for the campaign pre-bike chase and one that includes an extended bike chase sequence and then whatever comes after.
are we going to continue spamming this thread with us agreeing with one another LMAO

Drew needs to stop firing wildly in random directions.
Also CQCing Volgin makes the fight much easier. You knock him down and just unload into his body.

Nearly finished Breaking Brad Demons Souls and I really think I should finally run through that game after I finish Bloodborne.
Loving the quirky soundtack that game has that kind got drop for more generic orchestrated stuff in the later games.

The tough thing with Demon's Souls is the you-gotta-beat-this-in-one-run gameplay. It sure as hell hardened me for Dark Souls, though. Every game after Demon's seemed so easy thanks to bonfires and replenishing health items.
Out of context; that quote is great.
of course!
Yeah, I think the sequence is cool but goes on for way, way too long.

The bike sequence is like the first time in the whole game that Big Boss is a legit badass and looks to not be a fumbling idiot who is just scraping by. It's also a great moment of release for the player as you get to wreck all of those asshole guards that had you hiding in the grass way too long and chasing you around all game.
maybe one experiences it differently when you're actually playing the game as opposed to watching it but whenever i get to that segment of MGS3 I just enjoy fucking things up and watching the awesome cutscenes interspersed with Snake screaming while unloading round after round into those fucking jerks.

According to PSN profiles he last played Injustice and hasn't played Bloodbourne since Sunday but he has beaten first two bosses.

The Volgin and Shagohod boss fights suck so much. And the bike scene is pretty boring but Dan and Drew seem to really like it so at least it made for a good episode.

This Metal Gear Scanlon got me to try something I never had before, a no-kill Euro Extreme run in MGS3.
It was quite an experience, and wholly recommended if you want to play it in a different way, but I think I enjoy having the flexibility to just have fun in normal mode more.

I enjoyed Drew's loud, deliberate way of reloading the RPG. Really hammering on the pad.
I had no idea what a huge dork Snake is. Codec use changes the perception of events in those games so much.
In AGDQ 2013 there was I think a European Extreme run, possibly no-kill too.
Here's the video.
I tried a Big Boss run in MGS4 and I just couldn't do it. :S

I did a European Extreme no alerts run on my Vita in Xmas 2013, but I didn't have the patience to use tranqs on the bosses.
Back in the PS2 days I did do it though, collected all the suits, frogs and animals, but that was on the easy difficulties lol.
