Darn it, things were going so good. I was breezing through Metal Gear. All the Bosses have been easy. Simple really. But now I've come upon a Boss Battle that is supposed to be easy also. However, I can not beat it!   

Bulldozer:  You are in a narrow corridor and this bulldozer is coming staight at you. All I need to do is shoot 8 grenades from my grenade launcher. I have plenty of ammo and I have plenty of health...but I have no room!  I watched some youtube videos of this battle and they make it look easy.  Im guessing it is because it is a PC Port.  Using an analog joystick I can not turn snake around fast enough to shoot the last set of grenades.  I believe with a mouse it was easy?

anyway.  I try for about 15 minutes and then rage quit. I will eventually beat it ( I hope?) I made a video of me playing and you can see the frustration. I shoot three sets of grenades and then I turn and try to get more room but I can not turn back around fast enough.

Boss Battle Bulldozer


 

UPDATE:   I just beat it.  finally!

Oh I know how to beat that bulldozer boss real easy!  There's a hidden can of spinach undearneath one of the tires on one of the trucks.  Pick that up and then use it when you fight the bulldozer.  Snake will get really strong and all you have to do is punch the bulldozer once and it'll fly all the way to the moon.

OK I just made all that up.

Since Hideo kojima is a crazy game developer, I had to read through all your post just to make sure you were making that up Cary :p

It does seem tricky GH. There seems to be no room for mistakes there, and awkward controls kinda don't help with precision.

Keep at it though. Maybe you just need to get the rhythm right.

Can't you lean against the walls, and walk past the bulldozer?

I finally beat it.    I used the D-Pad instead of the analog stick and it worked!

Beat it like a Boss.

Big Boss would be proud.

I love the fact that now when I get stuck all I have to do is check YouTube. Always some other poor gamer who has suffered the same fate as I. And decided to show the world how to beat it! Glad you got past it. Always a good feeling.
