I have a question about the final stats...

I see that he killed 0, do machines count as kills, like if i kill Gekkos or if i kill the frogs on that stage where you meet Meryl or the stage where you ride the bike with Big Mama... what about bosses, does that count too???

Anything human or living counts as a kill.

Machines, geckos, first stage of B&Bs don't count as kills.

The frogs do.

You can kill machines like gekkos, and also the vehicles like seen near the beginning that has a machine gun on the top that fires automatically.

But everything else you can't.

The frogs have to be tranqed, and the bosses too, though you can kill their first stage however if I remember correctly.

Gekkos and those little rolling robot things (Forget the name) do NOT count, however ALL living creatures do - this still applies even if you're riding on the bike with big mama, or on top of Drebin's APC - you still have to use NON-Lethal force! This one in particular is an absolute ****** as an exploding Gekko can sometimes kill PMC's and you get the blame). And bosses also count, stick with non-lethal force for them as well.

Thats crazy, specially the part with big mama, how the hell are you supposed to finish that part, you basically just have to sit and watch as she drives.

Also, when you first meet Meryl, how do complete that part without killing the frogs, as fas as i know, her unit wont move until you are done with them, do you have to put them all to sleep??

yeah use the Mk. 2 or Solar Gun if you have it. On easy those parts are easy but now I'm playing The Boss Extreme and the Frogs part is really hard.

Remember, at certain parts of the game (including that part), you have unlimited ammo for nearly all of your weapons, so you can use anything you want. In the bike chase, you can use the sawn-off shotgun with the third ammo type (Forget the name, it's v-jolt or something) to attack anyone giving you bother without killing them. You can ignore the gekkos, they wont bother you much. Oh and the flying beast things are unmanned, so kill as many of THOSE as you like ;).

Been playing it some more tonight, just saved the game and turned it off after I beat Raging Raven

I have to say that this is fast becoming the best game i've ever played.. it just keeps getting better and better. I must have played through the whole motor bike chase scene with my jaw touching the floor! lol. The part where those two PMC hummers flip over the top of you in slow motion made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck :laugh:

I have'nt got so into a game like this in ages.. will be gutted when it ends

Phew just spent the last god knows how long reading the last 30 pages of this thread that I missed. :laugh:

I actually finished the game a few days ago, on Saturday. And it was epic!

Just a quick question: If one unlocks the stealth & bandana on say, easy, can you still use it on a harder difficulty level? (Its been a while since I got them on the previous games and I cannot remember what they were like in regards to stealth and the bandana).

How long until we can stop with the spoiler tags? They are starting to do my head in.

Well the games been out just over a week.

I hardly say that's long enough, there's still people playing it.

Heck, even games that are months old, it's still pretty harsh to go and discuss the games end in the topic.

Just live with the tags knowing your fellow NW readers appreciate them (Y)

Wow, I just spent over 2 hours reading through just 40% of the info in the Metal Gear Database. There's just so much stuff in there :o

How long until we can stop with the spoiler tags? They are starting to do my head in.

Just press Ctrl+A to highlight all the text on the page and everything is uncovered at once ;)

I'd rather we keep the spoiler tags on for a while for those of us that are still playing it or haven't even had a chance to start yet.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.
