Head Shot on Jamie!!!

Post by joeypete »

So who else fucked up and shot Jamie in the face when you 1st played through Snatcher?

Man, I got killed in the 1st shoot out. Then killed again. Then made it to the 2nd (Snatchers come out) round only to get killed there (this is my 1st time playing it a few years back with the Genesis controller to aim). Then killed at the 1st part again... I was so pissed! :mad:

I got, finally, all the way to Jamie. I was so trigger happy that as soon as the life bar came up I fired! SHIT!!! I killed her and Game Over again! LOL!!

I threw the controller across the room at that point. Great game design... It fooled the hell out of me and made me shoot! I was expecting a real battle!

2 more tires and I got to her and made myself just drop the controller so as to not blast her by mistake again.

Then the 40 min end scene and it was all good.

Funny thing, looking back on it now.... Any one else kill her by mistake the 1st go? I did not know what to expect (no FAQ nor walk hough for me- just played it and loved it!) so she died by my blaster and from my overly tight twitch reflex to kill...

Poor Jamie!! :P

I died so many times at the start of the battle at the end, that I was very careful not to do anything I might regret, so I didn't shoot Jamie's sillohuette.

I still remember playing a prank on my friend the first time he got to that part. I just said to him "OK, get ready to shoot!", and then he shot the second the music started and then GAME OVER.

Almost as good as the time my other friend was playing Resident Evil 4 and he got to the big lake and I told him to shoot the fish because they give you powerups (which is true), but the thing is if you shoot the lake enough times, that giant alligator looking thing jumps out of the water and eats Leon whole. And, of course, that's what happened.

I can be a cruel SOB sometimes. LOL

I remember in MGS, I had my friend play it (first time) a few years back when I was jsut a kid (back in '99), and he got up to Psycho Mantis, and I told him that I couldn't remember how to beat him, and after a long while, you get that codec call of Campbell telling you to knock off the wrapped bandages on the statues to break Mantis' concentration and beat the guy senseless. My friend got killed when he could, since he was that driven and pissed off by how long the battle had gone on, and how many times he had been killed by Mantis before, that at this try, he could go mental at Mantis.

He lost again, and swore his head off, went red with frustration and told me to, 'fucking do it'. So I did, by swapping the controller into port 2, and boy oh boy, was he PISSED! And i mean his eyes were ready to pop out of his head, he was mental. I laughed so hard at his annoyance too. Hahaha, he actually laid into me after that. Hehehehe, I was so evil (and still feel the guilt to this day, and still bring it up with him, which again, annoys him, poor sod), I did apologise for wasting his time like that though. I never did anything like that ever again (for my own safety, of course). :lol:

When the game was new and I was 12 or something, I had tons of trouble with that last group of Insectors - it was driving me mad. When I finally beat them and the Snatchers that follow, I capped Jamie.

I can only remember this because I was so livid!

Somehow, I managed to keep cool when Jamie's silhouette appeared - I didn't even arm the blaster! So, I can say that I didn't shoot Jamie my first time through.

However, I did make sure I shot her the second time through. :razz:

Sure, mainstream games are fun, but you haven't tried Snatcher yet.

Yeah, I shot her the first time. :sad: I remember, I had trouble getting past the Insectors, and when I finally got to her, I actually hesitated for a second because she wasn't attacking Gillian, before I decided that after I'd spent so long trying to get past those Insectors, I wasn't going to give whatever it was a chance to attack....

I wasn't too happy. :(

Nah, I didn't shoot her. My brother, who was sitting next to me at the time, was like "Shoot man!" But that first battle was really a pain in the ass. The second one, with the Snatchers, wasn't that difficult at all. I knocked that out in one try.

I drew my gun, pointed at her head, Then waited for an attack to start or SNATCHERS to appear in the corners or something. Then I shot her in the head just for fun.

It was one of those "I wonder what will happen if...." moments.
