haha, how do I punch

 

[robotrock]

*couldn't

you're*

 

[Jamie OD]

"How do I punch again?"

The timing could not have been more perfect.

 

[Incandenza]

The final word on Metal Gear Solid: "This sucks."

 

[Zaph]

"I don't like this game"

 

[Brinbe]

Kinda wanted to see Drew just wreck everything

 

[Zabant]

Wow, now drew is taking issue with pretty much the defining principle of video games, you lose, you start again.

 

[hamchan]

Drew doesn't like goddamn epic fistfight on top of metal gear makes me sad.

Dan seems sort of incredulous that Drew doesn't like the concept of restarting a boss fight from the actual start instead of some Bioshock vita-chamber thing LOL.

 

[Zombie James]

Drew is starting to crack a bit...

 

[tryagainlater]

I can't even tell why Drew is having trouble. This fight's easy.

 

[Myggen]

Wow, now drew is taking issue with pretty much the defining principle of video games, you lose, you start again.

Breaking Drew.

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

"I don't like this game"

I thought he said he likes the game, but not this part.

 

[Superflat]

Wow, now drew is taking issue with pretty much the defining principle of video games, you lose, you start again.

This is the first time I've seen Drew completely break. He's done such a good job at not blurting out crazy talk until this series, I love it

 

[Kelas]

Wow, now drew is taking issue with pretty much the defining principle of video games, you lose, you start again.

Yeah that was weird.

I can see him having trouble with the next bit too.

 

[daydream]

goddamn epic fistfight

I don't know about that, lol.

 

[Xater]

I can't even tell why Drew is having trouble. This fight's easy.

Drew has had trouble with pattern recognition through the whole series so it's not that surprising.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Unplugged on Thursday!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Okay, Drew's Liquid impression is up there with his Pac-Man.

 

[Zombie James]

So close!

 

[Brinbe]

Breaking Drew

 

[valeo]

He's so Drew at games

 

[JawesomeJaw]

It's going to blow!

 

[shadyspace]

I can't even tell why Drew is having trouble. This fight's easy.

Drew is one of those people who lack the knowledge of the fundamental vernacular of video games. The stuff that is second nature to you and I like "Oh well guys are always vulnerable after they miss a dash attack" or "I shouldn't try to complete this combo because he'll obviously counter if I do, better just get a jab in"

 

[John Rabbit]

i feel like i had trouble with this fight too but i can't remember why.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Drew was a qa tester tho

 

[hamchan]

I don't know about that, lol.

Wat. Snake and Liquid having a fistfight while shirtless, while a countdown to explosion happens, is one of the defining moments in the series, and one of the most memorable.

Well, it was to me when I was like 8 and first played this anyways.

 

[Zabant]

Dan's humouring him, this is one of the greatest moments in gaming and not only that it's pretty easy.

The easiest boss fight in the game.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Breaking Drew, gaddamn

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Guys, the game is old.

Dan's humouring him, this is one of the greatest moments in gaming and not only that it's pretty easy.

The easiest boss fight in the game.

Dunno, that fight have not aged well

 

[Misterinenja]

I used to suck at this too when I was a kid.

 

[xanavi]

Man, Drew haaaates this. I never had any problem with this fight, it's pretty fair. If you pay attention you have time to react to everything Liquid does.

 

[AuthenticM]

I can see him having trouble with the next bit too.

Not if Dan tells him you can shoot in first-person by holding triangle.

But I don't know if Dan even knows this. I only learned about it myself the last time I played the game.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Drew, try to remember the basics of CQC.

 

[Zaph]

Drew complaining about the one-on-one fist fight after a big action scene?

It's a staple. Has he not seen Lethal Weapon?

 

[justjim89]

Drew is right. This is a shitty way to close the game. And it follows up with a vehicle section!

 

[fuzzyset]

Dan's humouring him, this is one of the greatest moments in gaming and not only that it's pretty easy.

The easiest boss fight in the game.

He's right though. It seems arbitrary when he gets 1 or 3 hits in.

 

[daydream]

I believe the second part.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

what's wrong, snake

 

[fierrotlepou]

He's right though. It seems arbitrary when he gets 1 or 3 hits in.

You need to "feel" that stuff.

 

[Tucah]

I always thought this fight was really easy

*shrug*

 

[OverBlood 3]

What's the block button?

In action movies, the character has more at his disposal than a single dumbass combo.

Damn right it is. Thats why there is even a callback to it later in the series.

 

[mileS]

/pointing out the obvious

He doesn't have to do the 3 hit combo evvvvvverytime. The fight is 100x easier if you stick and move a bit for the later parts of it. Also important not to start the combo when you aren't even lined up. Oh my. I loved this back in the day, I dunno. Yea I remember dying a few times until I got it down, but it was extremely tense and the right amount of challenge at the time.

 

[Jamie OD]

i feel like i had trouble with this fight too but i can't remember why.

The fighting mechanics look like they could really fuck you over with the temporary invincibility after every hit plus bad positioning causing your attacks to miss.

 

[tryagainlater]

Doing the same thing with different results...? But he's dying every time.

 

[Zombie James]

What's the block button?

There is none. You just need to be observant, dodge, and pick your spots.

 

[Roxas]

I always thought this fight was really easy

*shrug*

It is.

He is trying to hit 3 hit combos all the time. even when he misses the first punch. Leaving himself exposed all the time.

 

[AuthenticM]

I've always hated this boss fight, but I forgive it because it gave us MGS4's final boss, which is probably the best last boss in gaming history.

 

[Renpatsu]

Liquid's laugh is always great.

Edit: Drew's problem has always been never coming to grips with the movement controls because he overshoots his position or direction and ends up missing.
