what i tell my wife when she get home from work

You tell her "Wall of Fire"?

Something I've noticed is that Septerra Core uses sprite mirroring; weapons change hands depending on which way a character is facing. This wouldn't be remarkable except for the following:

1. The game uses prerendered sprites from 3D models. So no time saved where you do see some for hand drawn stuff
2. The game came out in '99 on CD. So they weren't hurting for space like how early console RPGs would
3. It becomes extremely obvious when Selena uses her level three attack, because the animation is to swing, then turn around and do a motion with her other hand. So in a single animation you always will see her sword start off in one hand and then switch to the other hand across an animation frame

I can't describe how pissed i am right now at MGS3 with the final boss... all the freaking game i played withouth killing anything but now this game... this fucking game has to put everything against you to make it a real pain in the ass to not shoot the RPG againt The Boss... god damn that awful camera why they allow you to use a regular 3rd person camera bbut in the final fight they FORCE you to use the awful camera from older games, also the framerate goes to hell for those damn flowers and in how the fuck it makes sence that she becomes INVULNERABLE when she starts firing her gun?!

I cannot stand it anymore i wanted to end this game tonight but i cannot continue with this maddness.

I found it easier to throw stun grenades and then CQC her. The action roll is quite effective.

I got her down to her last few hits that way, then snuck up on her and shot her in the head to finish her.

I found the first fight with Volgin to be the hardest one in the game, at least on a no-kills run. Such a small arena, so tough to get an opening on! Some of his attacks run a long time too.

The Boss is not too bad, there's openings you can sneak a stun dart in. You just have to be quick on the draw and aim. CQC works pretty well too, as alienjesus said.

Yeah i managed to get her in the last quarter with stun grenades and tranquilizer but after that she suddenly became inmune to the grenades, or maybe i just miss quite a bit. I have a hard time sneaking on her because of the camera and when you get on your belly the game forces to see in first person view and that limits my view a lot as well. Now that im more clam i could try it again

Volgin was easy after two tries.When he's not covered in volts you go and throw him on the ground, shoot him, back off a bit, stay on his back to avoid attacks, repeat and win. Im not able to see the patterns or the way to stop them with The Boss. I was this close to just use the rocket launcher on her, i did it a bit and felt great for a moment.

ARMIKROG KEEPS GETTING DELAYED! I WAS GIFTED IT FOR MY BIRTHDAY AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO COME OUT RIGHT AROUND THEN AND NOPE! HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE BIT LONGER. MY BRAIN CAN'T HANDLE IT! I NEED TO PLAY IT!

So it turns out I ordered Majora's Mask 3D a while ago and forgot about it. It never arrived, but since it was a preorder I didn't notice. Well it turns out it did arrive; it was packed in the same box as the pellets for my litter box (which was a subscribe and save order). So since I had ordered at too fast a rate I had a couple boxes that I didn't even bother opening up. Opened one up today and surprise 3DS game!

If you CQC slam her to the ground, you can then do an action roll over her and it'll do a ton of stamina damage to her. I seem to remember she kicks you away before you can manage two, but give it a try.

With appropriate camo (snow ones due to the flowers, the Kabuki or Skull makeup I think work for the face), you can run away and lie down to be near invisible. Then use heat vision to help see/snipe her with the Mosin Nagant. Need to move between shots I think.

Definitely not the fastest method, but you can finish it inside the time limit.
