I get all that though. I have beaten the game and seen all the cutscenes, you know. I was partly trying to lighten the mood by saying that she peed herself since it looked like this was starting to turn into an argument.

Killed by a Metal Gear RAY after taking down six of them. I hate those stupid knee rockets.

Okay? Not really imho.

Yeah those things are the number one source of my agony on Extreme.

I'd like to find the asshat at Gearbox who thought it'd be a good idea to take the Badass Hyperion Constructors and make them shoot endless swarms of homing missiles that instantly drop all your health to negative infinity in three hits out of twenty per goddam swarm of homing instakill missiles.

They're goddam "constructors", maybe make them do their job and build SOME ROBOTS FOR A CHANGE RATHER THAN ENDLESSLY "BUILDING" (READ:SHOOTING) THIRTY MILLION DAMN MISSILES. I CAN'T SMASH A CONSTRUCTOR'S EYE IN WITH MY BUZZ AXE WHEN THERE'S HORDES OF HOMING EXPLOSIVE DEATH CONSTANTLY TRAILING ME TO BLOW MY FACE OFF. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- I'm a bit mad.

Strangled to death by Solidus. Over and over and over and over again.

I never was killed by Solidus' strangling. I Just mashed triangle like it said, and moved the analog stick out of instinct and desperation, and I was free in 1 second.

EDIT: ...Unless you're talking about the sort-of cutscene before that. The same thing happened to me during the torture scene in MGS1, and thanks to that I'm now a grand master button masher.

Break orbit to attack a factory. As I reach the outer air defence, an AAA cannon hits me from 50km and takes out my sensors, making it impossible(I think) to target the factory. Next hit takes out my computer. The next cripples my drives, and since it's a planetary battle, that's guaranteed death. And then my wingman is shot down.

They shoot rockets from their knees? I know REX did, and I know you're supposed to shoot them in the knee to force open their mouth, which causes triple the damage when you shoot them(you can also get close enough for them to fire their hydrocannon, which also opens their mouth).

The first time he chokes you(he's scanning Raiden's implants), it shouldn't be long enough to kill you even if you don't do anything, as far as I remember. The second time, though, the length of time he chokes you is dependent on difficulty, so it's quite possible to die. I had to use an autofire controller to do it on Hard and up.

Er. He strangles you for a set amount of time, which is longer the higher the difficulty. No matter how quick you mash he let's you go when he decides to. Clearly you've never done it on Extreme if you're claiming you've never failed.

Yeah. He has machine guns, vertical launch rockets, the water laser, his knee rockets, and he'll also try to stomp you.

Yeah it's best to try as hard as you can though, since the health bar carries over to the second time. And yeah it gets to over 200 seconds on European Extreme. I've done it one or two times, but it always takes me a million and a half tries, usually over a day or three.

I haven't played MGS2 on Extreme, no. Also, I thought he meant during to boss fight at first, then realized that probably wasn't what he meant, that's the reason I said

A few people where hovering around the escape pods north of arrival because of a loosing singularity eating the path towards the escape shuttle. I laid down so a guy could get on board before the escape pods took off. Unfortunately the guy buckled in the chair in front of me was rping as an incredibly paranoid man during a syndie round and couldn't be convinced to calm down. He waited until the pods left before unbuckling himself and opening the door causing me to get sucked into space.

Oh yeah, you meant during the boss fight. Sorry it's just I've never really had a hard time with that fight so it's pretty forgettable for me. I usually consider the game unofficially beaten once I've gotten past the torture scene. That's always been the hardest part for me.

I was able to make it against Solidus for 17.5 seconds using my thumb, 19 seconds flat tapping the button with a pencil and 20.5 seconds using my index finger, starting the timer at the end of Solidus' "I'll squeeze the answers..." line. My right arm is exhausted. Metal Gear Solid torture sequences should be an Olympic event.

MGS2.

EDIT:

I just now beat it using my index finger. According to my timer, the sequence lasts about 30 seconds on Hard mode from when Solidus lifts you up to when he stops choking you. I wasn't looking at the screen when I was doing the sequence, but when I looked up I found that my life bar was on the very last one-pixel-wide sliver that you have right before your health runs out for real. :o

Sergeant Heavy with Nano-Fiber Vest in full cover versus a Thin Man in half cover. Thin Man hits the Heavy on the first shot, killing him instantly with a critical hit. Rest of the team falls shortly after that, resulting in a TPK.

Fuck you, RNG. I finally get a good start in on Classic Ironman, and you screw me over with a single fucking shot.

I started as Castille in the beginning date, and after a year or two of just preparing to invade Argon, it seemed that they got the same mission as I did. (Personal-union the other.) At first, the war was about 55-45, in favor for my side. Portugal, Scandinavia, and a Mediterranean nation that I can't remember was on my side, and Argon I think was alone. I had most of his provinces under siege except for his off-land province, and it seemed that I would be able to take over in time. I was ping-ponging his army with Portual when he called in Burgundy.

After Burgundy came into the war, things started to go downhill from there. Burgandy was able to destroy enough forces of mine that Argon was able to build up an army and was able to defend himself. and then Burgundy brought in more of his friends...
