Well just today my brother played it, I watched him get killed once, then youd assume Cambell would've called him on his second try to explain it to him also right? Wrong. He never called him. My brother amazingly managed to beat him without ever switching controller ports. He used a helluva lot of ammo, and had to get more countless times(not really a big deal considering it keeps respawning). He just kept shooting and every once in awhile a shot would hit. But it took him SO long, and he got really frustrated later on, and who can blame him? I think it really made him enjoy the fight a lot less than he would have. I was about to tell him about the controller thing while he was playing it, but I just figured theyd eventually call him on Codec, but alas they never did. So is this some sort of bug, or could there have been some other reason why Cambell never called him?

Maybe its just one of the "scary effects" that Silicon Knights put in.

It... it just didn't work with your brother.

Re: MGS: Twin Snakes

I just finished the Psycho Mantis fight and I got some stuff out of him.:D

"You like Nintendo games don't you?"
"You enjoy The Legend of Zelda, don't you?"
"You've played Super Smash Bros. Melee many times, haven't you"
"You save often, don't you. Your prudent" (something like that)

Pretty sweet. I have all zelda save files for the 'Cube so I'm not surprised he said that:p

But Dyne, I now know what you meant by don't play with a Wavebird. I'll go back to the cutscene sometime and get a wired controller.

Re: MGS: Twin Snakes

I wish I could play through to that scene again. :(

I wonder what he'd say about ED.

Once more? I hope that your dreams come true.
You are curious about what he would say about ED.

Re: MGS: Twin Snakes

Yes, but Erectile Dysfunction is no dreaming matter.

Now I wish I didn't delete the ED file I had awhile back. I havent read on if he does anything special with ED, but it would be sweet if they put in some insanity effects like Snake getting sliced in 2 or something just for having an ED file.

*edit*
I looked at a FAQ and you can get back to that cutscene, eventually.
Demo Theater allows you to watch all the cutscenes during the game and the
ending with either Meryl or Otacon. Unlocked after you beat the game with
Meryl or Otacon.

Re: MGS: Twin Snakes

Sounds like a cool game... what did reviews give it??

What's the deal with avoiding the wavebird for Mantis?

Probably because it takes away one of Mantis' special powers...

Or maybe some other thing I don't know of...

Re: MGS: Twin Snakes

If you have a 'cube, take $5-$6 and rent it. Then you'll understand:D

Re: MGS: Twin Snakes

Well I just bought it. I'll play after work.

But I wanted to know what I should use when I get to mantis.

It's strange that it makes a difference...

Re: MGS: Twin Snakes

When you are almost up to Mantis, use a corded controller just for it. Other then that, Wavebird all the way!:D

Re: MGS: Twin Snakes

Ok I get it, it must be the lack of vibration from the wavebird.

Re: MGS: Twin Snakes

Yes, Mantis does say something related to ED if you have an ED file. No, its not amazing or mind blowing, and no, it dosent alter the battle in any way from what I could tell(meaning it wasnt any different for me than how ive heard it described, knowing I had an ED file on my MEM card.)

Re: MGS: Twin Snakes

I've heard that with the wavebird, he makes your controller fly around the room. :sneaky:
