@nessisonett Haha very true I get it though, if all the trailers showed Snake and I end up playing this whiny anime boy then the frustration is a bit warranted. Fun fact I remember hearing somewhere that Neil Druckmann wanted to have an MGS2 Raiden effect with Abby with players not knowing about her being playable. Lol, very funny how that turned out.
@Thrillho takes a lot of skill to guide that remote control missile up a snowy ramp through a glade and to hit a sniper in blizzard conditions... don’t let anyone tell you any different 🤫
@Thrillho@colonelkilgore I always used the Nikita for the second one. I'm pretty sure you can just hit the side of the tree she's hiding behind to get her. The sniper + diazepam is good enough for the first battle though
@ralphdibny hey, so I've beaten vulcan raven for the second time, have I got much game left? Not that I like to spoil things or anything, nor am I not enjoying it but im 'spinning multiple plates' and I need to know so I can apportion the sufficient time.
There's a fair few lengthy-ish cutscenes you got left (It wouldn't be a kojima game without them)... so it should take you only one longish session or maybe two smaller ones.
I take it you see now why Metal Gear Solid is regarded as an absolute classic now huh? 😄

@colonelkilgore it's hard to say to be honest. I remember the last bit to be quite long because there is a bit of backtracking. Only through the areas your in now and are yet to visit though. I'd say a few hours left I reckon! It might feel like longer when you are playing
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy oh it's a classic alright, one thing that has struck me... fairly profoundly actually, is that although it was a huge step forward for video games... and that is why it's rightly viewed so seminally, a fair old percentage of the satisfaction I get from it is in the 'old-school' video game-ness of it. Its great
@ralphdibny okay, in fairness the back tracking can seem off-putting at the thought of having to do it... and then you actually do it and it only takes like 15 minutes... so that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Yeah... Yeah I certainly get what you mean by that @colonelkilgore.
I actually forgot the backtracking that @ralphdibny mentions.
I've never once had a problem in doing it (Going for the sniper rifle to save meryl/The first sniper wolf fight honestly felt so much more of a hassle to me) but it might trip you up a little... You'll see what we mean when you get there 😅

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I think it's just because it's right at the end of the game so you think you are basically done and then you have to go back. It's a cool gimmick, the first time you do it anyway but it wears thin after a few play throughs and I have done a few. Gotta get me that tux and cyborg ninja outfit! 😅
@colonelkilgore Even better than the Nikita trick is that crossing the minefield before the first Sniper Wolf fight is even easier than you might think as you can just run straight across rather than follow Meryl!
@Thrillho yeah I've kinda noticed that since actually... I've gone back and forth over that area a few times since and didn't bother trying to recall Meryll's footsteps... just ran in a straight line without issue.
The one area that pi**es me off is the cave system just before that full of wolves. I seem to waste a fair amount of ammo in there.
@colonelkilgore If you have the handkerchief with Wolf's scent on it, have it equipped and they'll leave you alone. I think if you hide in a box in that section then one of them can pee on you too!
