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.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
