SO3 is really, really mean...so I'm kinda stuck at the moment.

This may have something to do with fact that the levels of my active party is a bit...one-sided. Fayt's 39, Albel is 31, and Maria is 50. Hey, it's not MY fault Maria's the only one that can SURVIVE a boss fight.

Of course, this pretty much means I'm required to solo most fights now, because Fayt and Albel die roughly 30 seconds into the fight, and even if I waste my time reviving them, they'll just die a couple seconds later.

Fortunately, Maria is pretty damn good at soloing bosses, especially now that I've picked up Angel Feather. I'll just cast that at the begining of the fight, then spam Scatter Shot, pretty effective as at 300% Cancel, each of the individual shots is hitting for about 3-4k.

But now I'm stuck on that damn Mudman in the Ancient Ruins of Mosel. Stupid Mudman.

*blinks*

Did you intentionally steal my party? :P

And I'm not sure how Fayt and Albel are dying so quickly. Albel yes, he dies at the drop of a hat until you get Vampiric Slash (or whatever the heck it's called), but... Fayt? He's strong, just melee-only...

My problem with Fayt is two-fold.

One, he wastes his time using the various crappy Symbology that he's picked up. Which drains his MP and sets him up for that *wonderful* MP Death. -_-

Two, when he's NOT using Symbology, he'll use Ice Blade and just STAND there. Won't do a single thing. Except DIE. Lazy bastard.

You do realize you can disable their spells, right? So the AI won't cast them? That was the first thing I did with Fayt. He's got Symbology, but he sucks at it...

Yeah, I disabled his spells. Though that doesn't stop him from just standing there and watching the enemies gang up on me.

I will admit though, when he gets off his ass and actually DOES something, he's quite effective.

Just wish that was a little more often....

My new favorite keyblade!

Too bad you have to beat Sephiroth and his fifteen health bars to get it. >_<

...that's it? That looks stupid.

I'll stick with the much-cooler looking Ultima Weapon, thanks.

It's not a dragon's head! It's a dragon's skull still attached to it's spine!

....bah, whatever, I think the new UW is way better looking.

Then clearly you're both not trying enough. Don't pin your own shortcomings on me.

To FZ

No its not. Its Mediocre filler to stall to put MGS4 on PS3 and allow time to perfect the story. The only above average feature in it was the cammo system, but that wouldn't work in any other metal gear soid game.

To Notty, Yea Maria is really broken I generally just turn her magic off and let her snipe away while i Control Fayt. I just hate the game based on MP death. It doesn't make it hard just annoying.

Bah, you have no appreciation of a good story, with awsome characters. I don't play MGS games for the gameplay, I play for the story (Well, in the case of MGS1 and 3 I play for the story, I played MGS2 because I was decieved...).

What story, It was predicable and boring it felt more like a very cheesy roger moore bond movie.

The bond movie, I'll grant you. Worst theme music ever.

I enjoyed it. The characters were good, the boss battles excellent (Not many people agree with me, but I liked the sniper battle with The End), and I found the story to be interesting, especially in light of the other games. However, they really need to think about actually wrapping up the story at some point soon, the overall plot is beginning to drag without any conclusions...

I don't see how it was predictable or boring.

Volgin being a sadist

EVA working for a 3rd Party

Ocolot being ADAM and still working for the CIA while Crossing everyone

The boss not actually having been a defector in the original plan, causing Big Boss to become Evil

Shagohod having nothing to do with Metal Gear but seeing the plans for it somewhere along the lines.

The Boss Having killed The Sorrow and having been lovers.

and it was boring to me because it added very little to the main story, which MGS 2 did, despite alot of strange moments (Otacon and his little relationship was really SICK but atleast it wasn't a cliche) . Heck I even see reasoning behind the patriots trying to create another Solid Snake, after all he and Otacon might have become a problem eventually.

I finally unlocked R.O.B in Mario Kart DS. He's slow when you start out, but as you get going he's pretty damn good.

I would probably play as him, I traditionally use Boweser in Mario Kart games.
