About surviving Ocelot's torture, supposedly he can detect auto-fire(and will shoot you if you do), but I've done it with two different auto-fire controllers and he didn't. Clarification: I used turbo-fire(where you still have to hold the button down), and I don't believe I've tried it with an emulator.
And believe me, you need auto/turbo-fire to win it on Extreme.
I've done it
once before with a normal controller. The other times I've beaten the game on EE I was playing the HD edition, where they made that part significantly easier (at least I think they did).
Also, quick question about Vamp in MGS2:
was there ever a codec conversation about him that mentioned him being involved in the receiving end of a massacre in a church, and him drinking the blood of his family to survive, or am I making things up?
P sure it was a cutscene. He was in church with his family and the building collapsed. He was buried alive and had to drink the blood of his family members to survive until he was rescued.
B) My brother believes that there ARE only 2 rations on Extreme in MGS2. At least, he only found two on his Operation: Steal Snake's Dog Tags run.
There are a few more than that: There's one, maybe two in the normal levels on Big Shell. In the circular room where you battle the Arsenal Tengus there's a room at the bottom of the screen that spawns one. Snake will sometimes give you more than one during the battle before that.
Choking guards vs simply killing them is a bit tough to distinguish. Killing them involves running up behind them and pressing the right button(been years, forget which) and holding it firmly. This will snap their neck. Choking them involves doing the same thing, except with a lighter touch and repeated tapping which will almost, but not quite let them go. Do this several times and you'll knock them out.
Pressure doesn't change anything, just the number of button presses. Grab a guard, and count the number of time you yank his neck until it breaks. If you do ONE less than that, you'll always knock him out.
Alright, so I get the construction of the La Le Lu Li Lo thing, but what the Hell is it supposed to be? It's the answer people, mostly people who have never heard of the Patriots, reply with when asked who they are. Alright, so they control computers and business and stuff, do they have mind-control rays too, so that people randomly spout a string of vowels as an answer and never think about it?
If you're a Patriot or you work for the Patriots, you don't say "Patriots". Instead you say
La Li Lu Le Lo. It's a code.
E: Drebin implies that some people are censored using nanomachines so that they can't say the word/phrase.
