Another annoying thing is how (even small) explosions damage you. In that they don't, they just fucking instakill you.

Ever since the original Rainbow Six - or two years BEFORE Perfect Dark, if you can believe that - we've been training to enter rooms a split second after our grenades go off; to breach, frag and clear on go-code 'Tony' (TONY! TONI! TONÉ!). But grenades in Perfect Dark don't inflict their damage with pretend accelerated shrapnel like in every other shooter; they do it by creating a fireball effect (out of not nearly enough polygons) that kills on contact, and takes a second or two to dissipate (a la Melf's Infuriating Cloud). Joanna is literally more likely to die by charging into a grenade's still active explosion like the world's fastest 9/11 firefighter than by somehow getting caught in its generally very tiny blast radius. I'm just going to come right out and say it: instakill explosions in a game with no mid-mission checkpoints work worse than America's firefighters' brains.
