This has not aged well at all.

I don't normally get frustrated because I'm pretty bad at this stuff too - but WHY DOES HE KEEP RUNNING INTO THE OBVIOUS DASH ATTACK

 

[fierrotlepou]

nvm

 

[Hot Coldman]

ＷＨＡＴ＇Ｓ  ＷＲＯＮＧ  ＳＮＡＫＥ？

 

[Zabant]

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.

also keeps falling for the incredibly telegraphed football tackles

 

[xanavi]

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

The thing about punching in this game is that you have a lot of time to tap it out and hit confirm the 3-hit combo. If he starts dodging you can always walk out of it as long as you don't mash.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

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

With two old guys:

Spoiler

one that kisses the other one in a easter egg

 

[OverBlood 3]

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

In this fight specifically? because you can definitely block in the game earlier on.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

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.

That's not even the best Metal Gear final boss.

 

[daydream]

Yeah, I mean, I haven't played this myself but it is immediately obvious to me that you can't get the whole combo in everytime. Weird that Drew is having trouble with it.

You're almost at the end, Drew, you can do it!

 

[tryagainlater]

Keep running into his charge attack, Drew.

 

[hamchan]

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

This is the ultimate encapsulation of how Drew plays Metal Gear bosses.

Also Dan is totally humoring Drew. You can tell Dan thinks this fight is awesome lol.

 

[Brinbe]

this definitely looks bad now.

lol fuck it, just spam that jab

 

[Dragon Puncher]

I literally can't grasp how Drew feels this is boring, considering the amazing set-up he just witnessed and seemed to enjoy.

I feel like Metal Gear Solid is a game he can enjoy for the crazy spectacle from a afar, but he really seems to dislikes most of the actual gameplay. But to be fair, I would to if a had to redo boss fights 10 times.

 

[Liamc723]

Alright I think I'm done with this, I'll catch up tomorrow. It's past midnight here in the UK and I have a job interview in the morning.

 

[Roxas]

WHATS WRONG SNAKE?

 

[demidar]

Also Liquid inching up and circlestrafing means he's winding up for an attack.

 

[Broder Salsa]

The fight hasn't aged well, but jesus, he could observe him a little more before running straight into him every time.

 

[Zaph]

Alright I think I'm done with this, I'll catch up tomorrow. It's past midnight here in the UK and I have a job interview in the morning.

Good luck!

 

[Zabant]

Runs into empty space, punches the air, gets football tackled

"I'm doing nothing wrong"

Why the last Boss of AssCreed 2 sucked even if it was jus a fist fight with the pope in secret chanmber of the vatican with an Alien cave?

 

[Zombie James]

He's in a good spot now...

 

[Brinbe]

He's got this

 

[An-Det]

If they get that far, I'll be curious to see Drew's reaction to the final fight in MGS4 being a remake of this, but with the awesome musics from the series played and with a lot more experience under his belt. I never did get this far in the game, and this fight really hasn't aged well at all.

 

[Noray]

He's not even trying anymore. This is getting a little sad to see.

Also I agree with whoever said Drew lacks some "basic" knowledge of the gaming language, at least it pertains to this game. Not reading obvious telegraphs like the shoulder charge, continuously attacking during the blinking, not realizing that if he doesn;t finish the combo, Liquid can retaliate... these are things most experienced gamers would pick up on after 1-2 attempts.

To be fair he seems like he extra doesn't give a eff after that loooong Rex fight.

 

[Gestahl]

That's not even the best Metal Gear final boss.

It's also bad, much like most of MGS4

 

[Broder Salsa]

JESUS

Hahahahahhaahha

 

[Xater]

He was blinking. Don't attack him then Drew. Jesus, basics of video games!

 

[Brinbe]

OMGGGGGGGGGGG

THAT IS ROUGHHHHH

 

[Zombie James]

NOOO

 

[daydream]

LOL

 

[Megasoum]

LMAO

 

[Jamie OD]

This is looking more and more like a Punchout fight. Liquid's charge is even like Bald Bull's.

 

[Zaph]

OMG

 

[Renpatsu]

This would probably be solved with a lock-on mechanic so Drew could just wail on the punch button.

He should just learn how to move/aim better though.

 

[xanavi]

LMFAO DREW

 

[fierrotlepou]

Hahahaha, I can't believe this. Drew is so unlucky.

 

[Phenomena]

God damnit!

 

[shadyspace]

Drew has never played a video game before.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Nooo! Oh my god!

 

[tryagainlater]

Holy fucking shit, this series is amazing albeit horribly frustrating.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Senator Armstrong > all MGS bosses

 

[valeo]

LOL

I like that the one time he (accidentally) dodged his dash attack, he almost won

 

[nckillthegrimace]

It's also bad, much like most of MGS4

Yes, it sucked.

 

[Aaron]

Drew has reached Brad levels of not paying attention to what's in front of him.

 

[petethepanda]

Holy hell this is still going on? Damn, dunno if I'll jump in now or wait for the archive as I planned to.

 

[Kelas]

Keep in mind it's also harder to focus when you're playing and talking with someone else.

The shoulder charge is a fairly obvious telegraph though ._.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Holy fucking shit, this series is amazing albeit horribly frustrating.

And the reactions are like Breakin Bad all over again.

Because the part where you have to play it is absolutely balls? He's done this like 20 times now.

Basically.
