I'm not really that interested in wrestling so I tend to bounce off videos like these, but I actually learned a lot from it! Thanks guys, that was a super fun lesson in a very specific genre of games.
@dovah: A series with Drew playing games from underrepresented countries would be amazing. Drew and Jeff would be perfect for that.
That's a really neat idea, I would absolutely watch that. I really enjoyed Drew's UPF section where he played the Call of Duty game from China, and seeing his game this week was fun too.
One day, someone's gonna write a book about the development of this game, and it's going to be fascinating.
I don't think chapter 2 is as bad as a lot of people make out, but I think it sets up a lot of motive and character development that just peters out like a sad fart. It just doesn't go anywhere, and feels massively incomplete. Everything clearly got cut completely short. And that final mission is such a weird non-event.
Edit: What is Dan talking about? There's information everywhere about how to trigger the final missions. It's really not complicated, geeze.
I like to think that the Jeep-driving henchmen turned up the radio out of sheer awkwardness; he'd seen Skull Face practising his bad guy speech in front of a mirror a few days earlier, and after actually giving the speech, his opponent literally says nothing and just seems kind of bored. Didn't even get to use the evil bad guy laugh he practised.
So while Skull Face is wondering what about his performance didn't go well, and Big Boss is considering his ration choice for that night, Jeep driver couldn't take it any more and turned up the volume on Desert FM.
I didn't mind this one so much. It took me a couple of tries, but it wasn't so bad. I did have Quiet with me, though, and she can really truck through those guys.
@kasaioni: Ha, good point! I suppose I assumed that they were similar to the other Skull soldiers that seem fairly omnipotent, no matter how careful you try to be (or maybe I'm just rubbish at the other Skulls. I didn't have much luck with stealth during boss battles, but am fine during general play).
I completely lucked out on this Skull sniper mission the first time I did it. I completely did not know what to do, wandered around in a circle for a bit, tried to drop a supply crate on one of them (who subsequently moved), and then spent about twenty minutes very slowly and carefully crawling around to avoid them all. I didn't get spotted at all...I figure I must have accidentally glitched the AI or something. Pretty confident I'd never be able to repeat it!
