Fucking bullshit!! god janky controls cant shoot astroids one minute. I donT hAve a mInUte!! AHHH! 

I don't know why people are having a problem with this. I was pretty intimidated when I got to the asteroid shooting section, but ended up doing it easily in one try. You just need to shoot constantly alternating back and forth between the two guns. Sweeping the guns around the screen while firing seems to work better than trying to aim precisely.

Awesome! Thanks for having a spoiler in the title, I FUCKING LOVE IT!

i just beat it.  it took me like 13 tries.  there was no skill involved, just doing what you said, holding down fire and randomly moving the cursor around the screen.  what a waist of time.

It was really fucking annoying, I  only had to try it three times to get it, but damn it was annoying. It all felt off, and just like it was not thought through at all.

It only took me two trys, what is annoying is I didn't even notice that you could use both barrels of the gun. L1 for secondary fire.

Took my twice. Just cause I didnt know you could shoot the second gun at first.

I didn't really care one way or the other.  Not even this could spoil all the fun I had with this game!!!

Wow, I didn't have any trouble with this at all.  Beat that segment my first time....now getting the trophy for that part took me like 4 times but that's besides the point.  I didn't have a problem with it.

yeah that part bugged me too , it just felt weird like it was forced into the game or something. and BTW Jollyrajah how could reading the title possibly spoil the story for anyone.

Took me three tries. The first two I didn't know you could fire the left cannon.

There are two guns?

L1 and R1

The asteroid segment kicked my ass the first time, but after hopping online and seeing the deelio about using both guns, I got through it on the second play.

I could've used the other barrel??? I didn't know that. I guess it doesn't make a difference though, I'm already past that part. I began holding the trigger, but I found it much easier to just aim and shoot sparingly. At least that's how I passed.

I beat it my first try...

It wasn't that hard.

That wasnt that hard. Beat it on my first try. Also got the trophy for getting above a certain percentage.

Just aim at the asterioid and shoot. Using L1 and R1

I hated that portion too. Worst moment in the game easily.

This segment sucks because of the controls, the whole game is so tight regarding controls, and when it comes down to this segment, its shitty, way too loose controls and hard to aim. It really feels tacked on, still an awesome game but that part makes it less than perfect.

Got it on my 5th time. The trick is to use both guns, but to time it right so that they act as a machine gun. Then if you aim, you'll hit most of them long before they come anywhere near you.

Yeah, it was assy. They should have put a target lock or something. Same here about the left blaster, didnt know until my third try.

I got through it first time although i'm ashamed to admit I was on 1% hull integrity.

If I can do it first time it can't be that hard.

"Yeah, it was assy. They should have put a target lock or something"

That would have defeated the point of the whole scene, the whole reason you have to do it manually is because the targeting system is down and you have to go and fix it.

Ummm,,, don't think of it as a distraction then it will help. Honestly I was glad to see it. Everything else scared the piss out of me.

it is the lamest part of the game, and gave me the most trouble, mainly because of the point-of-view.  The only reason it's even there is a storytelling rule of showing something that will be pivotal later on for reference.  Although quite honestly they could've done without both segments since they feel like cheap segments and the boss fight one is far less difficult than the training one.

It reminded me of a game that quite possibly might have served as inspiration, but it's so obscure I can't believe it's more than a coincidence, an old Mega Drive game called Psy-O-Blade.  It was an adventure game that took place on a spaceship, you were part of a crew on some mission of some sort, and people were starting to get killed.  You eventually find out who/what is doing it and so on and so forth.  It was basically a point-and-click game with detective elements, but one part of the game had you in a mechsuit shooting asteroids that were going to destroy the ship.  The mechanic was very similar to how Dead Space did it, just more Anime since it was a Japanese game.

This part is ridiculous.  stupid.

How I managed to survive on Impossible, first try with 51% shield strength remaining is beyond me. I think luck is a big factor in that part of the game, having played through at least four times already.

yeah took me about 5 goes
trick to it dont aim for every asteroid

Beating it wasn't too hard for me, but keeping teh shields above 50% was a challenge. Then again I did it on impossible, I don't know if it's actually harder on that setting.

I sucked ass at this part.

two times for me, then once when u use it again on the slug boss, but yeah it took me out of the game. i hate those kind of things.  reminded me of that retarded level in Uncharted when u have to drive that seedoo through the city and up the stream!

Well, here's what I'll say:  if you haven't played the first asteroid part on Impossible yet...then you have no IDEA how fucking frustrating it can be.  Randomly shooting does NOT work.

This level reminds me of the GOW2 segment that does the same thing, except with Reavers. I HATE TURRET SEGMENTS!!!

This segment is easy, are people still taking about it?

The segment itself is pretty easy, but going for the >50% integrity achievement is quite difficult.

lol i beat it first try man. wasn't that hard. don't see what the big deal is. i thought it was fun.

Yea and when you're playing alone Dom doesnt even use the other turret. What a ballsac."

Even firing aimlessly I can't do it and I stopped playing it. I like this game SO much but can't get past this stupid obstacle!!

it gets easier after you get used to it, the first time i played the game it took me like 5 tries, but after playing throught the game again i beat it on the first try. but if you try to get the trophy where you have to have 50% hull integrity is HELL!!

Why are people obsessed with bumping old threads lately?

I managed to get it on the first try, but holy shit it isn't easy. Only got off with about 14% Hull Shield Health or whatever it's called.
