Yeh theres no fun in that. I shot him just to see what would happen tho. I didnt think he'd actually die!XD Reset straight away n started again from the last checkpoint. Couldnt deny the old man, a "legend", a final fight against me(n possibly leave out a whole epic chunk of the game!). Its quite the tense battle esp with the absence of music n such a large expanse of area to run around in ..even tho I defeated him pretty quick. You miss out on what was n still is a great experience.

After finishing MGS3, I read that if you take too long to resume your game midbattle or simply set your PS2 clock forward a wk or so, he dies of old age. Haha that shit's genius. Just like the battle with Psycho Mantis#MGSbossbattles#4thWall Just talking bout MGS ughh GZ and PP cant come soon enough.

Another long boss battle thats sprung to mind is Monsoon. Not my longest in MGR but I finally got the better of him(n my poor reflexes) in just under 15min. Parrying, EM grenades + my favourite thing about the game(apart from Raiden)-Zandatsu but in this battle just without the "datsu"(take/grab). Ive never been fond of QTE's but I loved them in this game they meshed well with the fast paced combat. One of the sickest boss battles ever.

It's a good time to replay MGR again (one of my fave games of this yr) since they just recently cut the price n both(Jetstream & Blade Wolf) DLC is free.
