Big Grunty Secret posted:In MGS3, there's a part where you need to sneak around a maintenance hangar to plant C3 on the Shagohod's (final boss tank) fuel supply. If you kill or knock out all the engineers in the area, the Shagohod will have less health in the battle against it. This reminds me of the part where you can, I think, take out the enemies' food and/or weapons stash, and it has the expected effect on them (low health, low ammo) in the next few areas. I believe this place is the fenced off base with the trenches and the helicopter. Can't remember the name.

Also in that area, blowing up the helicopter will eliminate the patrolling helicopters later on at the mountain base.

Also the MI-24 "Colonel, what's a Russian gunship doing here?" Hind was unwittingly christened by Snake after the conversation turned to the weird new chopper looking like it was some kind of next-generation MI-17 Hip. It really is the perfect game.

Instead, you get personal jet-stand guys., which actually makes the encounter more difficult. Shooting the flame thrower backpack guys is easily the best part of that area, btw.

At first I thought this was a bit of MGS wackiness, before learning that such things actually existed! I think you can have a Codec conversation with either Major Tom or Sigint that fills in the backstory as to why the Soviets have these sparkly new ones. I seem to recall also that they have that hovering sound effect used by UFOs in old sci-fi movies, which obviously makes them cooler by default. quote:Shooting the flame thrower backpack guys is easily the best part of that area, btw. I remember that they're introduced in a trench area. Since MGS3 has no radar, you were programmed to be on the lookout for other things. These guys made an ominous rattling with their equipment as they plodded around, making a nice introduction. Then you could make them explode. I should really get the re-release of this game.

On the subject of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, I found a really cool secret. Sometimes there are hidden staircases under rocks. They lead to a short Zelda 1 style 2d sidescroller section. I've seen it twice. Once it led to a room with 5 free powerups and an exit to the floor, the other time I took a screenshot. http://i.imgur.com/LifgyDS.jpg

The best part of this is that it's totally not worth the effort to pull it off at all, as far as beating the game is concerned. None of these areas take more than a few minutes to blow through, but if you feel like loving with guards, then screw it, why not?

In Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, you can let your pokemon follow you in the overworld. If you do this With Krabby he'll scuttle sideways behind you.

If you have Magikarp following behind you, he'll do a little "fish on dry land" flip flop as he tries to keep up. I love you Magikarp you'll be a dragon someday I promise.

I started playing Metal Gear Rising: Reveangeance the other night, and oh my god it's like Platinum and Konami said "Let's make a game just for Screaming Idiot." It's funny, it's badass, it's fun, and oh my god Raiden gets a talking robot dog sidekick and he gets to wear a sombrero and and and... But if I had to choose one thing from the game that I enjoy the most, it'd have to be his lisp stemming from his missing lower lip. I still giggle when I imagine him trying to eat anything.

I'm pretty sure he can't eat anymore. Full-body cyborgs in MGS use nutrient gel pumped directly into their organs.

This is quickly turning into Post Your favorite Metal Gear. In Ground Zeroes, killing a combatant and having the enemy find them, they freak out and call HQ saying something like "HQ! We got a man down over here!!" Unless you're already in alert mode, where they sound so depressed when they find the body. "HQ...we got a dead friendly here... " There's also a side mission where you need to eliminate two high level targets, doesn't matter how, as long as you're not seen. I got lucky and tranq'd one and put him in the copter, but the second began to walk away before I could get to him. So I hopped in a jeep and ran his rear end down before he got to the point. Then I just drove my happy self out of the area. Bring on The Phantom Pain!

Wow, Raiden was so unpopular that they literally rebuilt him from the ground up to get people to like him. It's like Scrappy Doo was tossed into a wood chipper and reassembled with Radio Shack components. EDIT: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance in a nutshell: Screaming Idiot has a new favorite as of 00:43 on Nov 10, 2014 |

It's like Scrappy Doo was tossed into a wood chipper and reassembled with Radio Shack components. Actually, as is often the case, Raiden was apparently really popular in Japan. So I'm pretty sure the whole "rebuilding Raiden as a cyborg" thing was one of Kojima's ways of trolling his Japanese fans as he trolled everyone with Metal Gear Solid 4.

In Borderlands 2, if you look off of the Bunker to the south, you can see Terramorphous the Invincible's flailing tentacles off in a lake in the distance. Neat

Whatever the case for Raiden, I'm just thankful for the image of him occasionally drooling all over himself because Doktor apparently forgot to give him a lower lip/drool cup.

In a codec call Raiden mentions that not only can he eat, he can taste and selectively turn off his taste buds if he has to eat gross poo poo. It's hilarious imagining a guy with essentially an exposed mandible trying to eat soup while guarding a foreign dignitary.

Yeah, Raiden doesn't look like that all the time, and even mentions that he doesn't like using his combat body for anything other than combat because he gets very self-conscious when civilians start to stare. I imaging he even has a "home life" body that isn't much stronger than a peak-condition human body and has ultra high quality synthetic skin so he can look more normal. The body he has in the prologue and epilogue is a go between that allows him to pass as normal to anyone not standing next to him while still being able to take out a RAY.
