Yeah, I've got that, it's a pretty neat game. Only problem with it is the scoring system is based entirely on how fast you complete missions, which means the ideal plan is a hideous bumrush which would realistically get the entire squad killed straight after the battle ends. Well, that and the miss completely / hit spot on accuracy system which makes low-level snipers almost useless without extensive save scumming.

I know, but once you get enough upgrades and even with rushing missions to get the A rank, you learn a few things to beat a mission fast and not get anyone killed in the process. The one thing I find that is bullshit is how crouched enemies can take more hits than standing even from head shots.

Beat Metro last night, got the bad ending because when I do stealth, I usually go with the "pick off everyone one-by-one without being seen" variety

You do know you can stealth knock people out right?

Expressly why I've never done any "no kill" playthroughs in any MGS game.

MGS is different...it doesn't change the fucking ending if I kill everyone I see like Metro Last Light

They can take more hits even if you're shooting them from behind their cover, even. Luckily you can make them stand up if you hit them with a grenade or destroy their cover, the really pro way is to hit the cover with a grenade that doesn't damage them because then they stand up and don't turn around.

It's also rather funny that crew-served weapons count the soldier as part of the weapon; he's the weapon's weak point, but he counts as armour rather than infantry and doesn't have a hitbox for his head. Still, not as downright bizarre as multi-part tanks counting their extra turrets as completely different vehicles or the AI thinking that it's playing a third-person shooter (it can't see the map and only uses LOS for each individual soldier, which is why you often see multiple enemies run past someone and then turn around as if they didn't know they were there).

Two horrible ideas in one article. The franchise is a bruised and bloody carcass by now. Since T2 (now over twenty years old), the worldwide revenue from each subsequent film has diminished, while budgets keep going up, and I don't think a 65 year old Terminator is going to change that.

I think the biggest problem (aside from the movies being bad) is that your ability to suspend disbelief really gets strained after two Terminators being sent back. Why didn't Skynet send the third back to the same place as the first, for example?
