    There are exactly two things I wanna hear at this point

    A release date for phantom pain and an announcement for Revengeance 2

    I'm at the point where i really don't want to hear more about TPP, I just wanna play the damn thing

    And actually this just raises a lot of questions in and of itself

    Was this just a translation thing? Did Kojima refer to a theoretical transwoman as a man?

    Actually what kind of language for genderqueer people even exists in Japanese?

    For transwoman my dictionary provided ニューハーフ (nyūhāfu) which is a transcription of "new half" in English.

    I'm stuck in the first part of act 5 in MGS4

    Like if I trigger alert phase it might as well give me a game over screen right there.

    That rooms real tricky, just keep at it and keep in mind that there are a LOT of routes through, so if something isn't working look for a different path

    Also keep in mind that you can shoot gecko in the legs with tranquilizer to make them fall asleep without catching their attention

  • Options
    TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    I'm not sure I want to keep at it.

    Like the game has been pretty forgiving up til now and that was what made it kinda fun and now it's just frustrating as all hell.

    Seriously there is no way to cancel the alert.

    I would hope so, as it is this one section is going to take me days to try to do, because I have to get through it without being seen and I find the stealth is this game frustrating and tedious.

    Chaff grenades totally confuse electronics. You should have a bunch of weapons at this point, or enough money to buy them. Doesn't the shop have a discount on Sundays?

    I played it again not too long ago. I just fought my way through the alerts.

    Drebin's Sunday discount is permanent once you hit act 5 because liquid crashed the war economy when he took over

    ah yeah, I have enough drebin points I suppose.

    but the problem is I get seen by the first or second wave of guards, I can only find two rations in the level, and by the time I get the the end with the geckos I have gone through most of my first health bar.

    Then the geckos just respawn.

    That's why you just tranq the geckos

    Also I like the stealth in mgs4 :<

    Then again I've mentioned before how I really like my stealth games slow

    Pretty sure I've always gotten the caterpillar medal in 4 because of how often I get through areas by playing dead and inch worming through the area

    tranq them while they are shooting me with what I assume are auto cannons?

    The stealth sections in Act 5 are on the ship, right?

    Because those were not stealthy for me at all.

    No-scope 50cal sniper rifle all day.

    Watching metal gear scanlon and hearing Natasha talk about proper sniping technique

    Kinda bugs me watching quiet running around with her rifle like a doofus

    Uriel, the Rail Gun one-shots gecko's. Or anything else for that matter. Just buy a shitload of ammo for that and bring the lightning.

    not enough rations to go in guns blazing though.

    I've only got the two that are in the level. that and the door is got the hatch lock like on the tanker, so if I try to open it the respawned geckos shoot me to death.
