I was happy to see that the specific reviewer that mentioned there aren't any "Metal Gear moments" was incredibly wrong. You just have to fill in the blanks a bit more than I would have maybe liked. It really isn't that big of a deal though, since you know what happens to the character in the long run. Really the only story complaint I have is the main one most people have, that being the Eli plot thread just kind of dropping.

The story ended up bridging the series better than I was expecting based off of all the negative stuff I had been hearing. It was foreshadowed enough throughout the game that I strongly suspected it before actually discovering it for a certainty. I didn't mind the twist near as much as most people seem to. I was SUPER proud to have beaten Metallic Archaea on my first try. Mix up your strats, else you are only playing 1/5th of this game.Īfter some bad botching of prior stealth missions (don't rush kids your first time through a mission, it never pans out).

I've never had that fight happen the same way twice.Īnd if anyone has, doing it wrong duders. You can use dwalker with a shield, which will make you almost invincible to gunfire until the shield runs out.Īnd that's just the ones I've found so far. The only attacks they can get up to you with is the rock throw, which you can break with gunfire or just move away along the roof, or teleport up to you briefly for melee attacks: afterwards they teleport back down. You can get up on roofs, which will cut off a lot of their attacks, and snipe them with a powerful sniper rifle. You can sprint around the base (you are in a really big base, and have freerun of all of it) to use heavy weapon emplacements against them, which will kill them really quickly. I've countered them then put c4 at their feet, run away and blew it up. Probably under a minute if you got lucky with their melee attempts, which you can trigger by shooting at them when they do anything else. With the most powerful machine gun you could probably kill them all in a couple of minutes, tops. I can almost kill one with a single counter now and I've still got upgrades to go.

There's countering them and pumping their heads full of lead, which is REALLY FAST with a good heavy machine gun. There's the traditional rockets way, which I stopped using because splash damage just killed me.
