im going to stop playing peace walker for a while, because this is bullshit.
helicopter boss.
im doing my thing, taking on all of his fucking soldiers with cqc/tranq pistol. that's going ok, im defeating them. i run out of fultons on the "last" guy, so i just c4 the guy i put to sleep (since as far as i know, you can't snap necks, you have no knife to kill people, you need a "weapon" to kill people), i didn't hear a noise of man getting killed, but he was gone.
so it's me, some 15 minutes wasted, and a helicopter. the only weapons i have is c4, tranq pistol, tranq sniper rifle. when you finish dealing with all of the guards, the commander of the vehicle should pop out for you to kill/tranq.
15 minutes later, no more soldiers, the commander is still flying around in the safety of the chopper. I CAN NOT DO ANY DAMAGE TO THE CHOPPER WITH MY SETUP, I RELY ON HIM POPPING HIS HEAD OUT SO I CAN FINISH THE MISSION, AS HARD AS IT IS TO EVEN SHOOT HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE FROM THE COCKPIT, I CAN NOT DO SO.
he will continue attacking me from the chopper, and i can't attack back. since the commander isn't popping his head out, i can't win.
do you understand how much of a slap in the face fighting a battle for over 30 minutes is, only to realize you can't win because something has glitched (the commander not popping out when the soldiers are gone)?
this fucking sucks, and i do not want to try it again. i got my moneys worth out of the game with what i have played thus far, i kind of want to stop. i mean that's 30 minutes (maby 40) of VERY CAREFULLY taking out wave after wave of guard, and half of that was being extremely careful to line a sniper shot with psp controls, on a moving chopper, to realize that MY BULLETS DO FUCKING NOTHING!
im not even letting this thing kill me, im just exiting the mission, and putting my psp away.
man, this pisses me off because bosses aside, this is one of the best metal gear games out there. the bad psp controls can get through missions just fine, but not when it comes to bosses. "but wait, there's co-op for those" yeah, do you know anybody that lives in my area with a psp, and a copy of the game that would like to play with me? no? there you go. make that shit optional, not mandatory. it's just like a metroid game. fucking awesome all the way through, you get to the end and it's the most infuriating experience you have ever had in a videogame (mother brain in the first metroid, fuck that's annoying). if the entire experience was just bad, fine, but it's not, and i want to continue enjoying it, but these parts just force me to stop playing.
