Lmao apparently a show stopping bug was patched into Ducktales Remastered where for a bunch of people the game just freezes in the final boss area, including for me. Good job Capcom.

That final boss fight crashes more often than Launchpad. I gave up after my third run through the level.

this one's not nearly as impressive because it's just "wow make this number go up high enough that the n64 freezes". it feels like the first part of one of those glitches that forces the game to load certain values but there's no payoff

If you care to play again, you can go into the taskbar, go to active processes, select DuckTales.exe, set its priority to lower than normal, and then change its affinity from all processors to just Processor 1. I hope I explained that right.

Once you do that, the boss fight itself should run without any problem, but you have to skip the cutscene as soon as the boss dies. It's loving ridiculous that you need to do ANY of this, but that just goes to show you how much Capcom cares about a PC port of an outsourced project. And yes, it is Capcom's bad, since they're the ones in charge of patching and bugfixes.

Shame, Wayforward worked crazy hard on this game.

Though anyone who has coded low level GUI knows all about button presses. There are even "press cancels" which is nauseating to think about.

The logistics involved in making that kind of stuff happen is interesting I guess, but setting a goal like "let's see how few button presses it takes to accomplish this task in a twenty-year-old game" is pretty arbitrary imo, and not something I can relate to as a person who sometimes interacts with the outside world

Let's actually look at coke vs. No Man's Sky.

Where I live a half a gram of cocaine costs $30. A half a gram is enough for 4-5 lines and a few key bumps. That's enough to keep you high for roughly 2-3 hours depending how you space it out. The maximum one could do is about 1.5 grams so roughly 90$ for a maximum of 9 hours of entertainment. About 10$ an hour. This is all assuming a casual user with moderate to no tolerance. An actual coke head would be consuming more cocaine just for the same amount of entertainment.

NMS is 60, and even a short game offers 8 hours of entertainment. At 6 hours of play you would reach that 10$ per hour mark where it takes 9 (and a possible overdose) to reach the same mark with cocaine. With a game like NMS you're looking at 10+ hours of entertainment so you have a minimum of less than 10$ per hour of entertainment with the cost per hour going down as you put more time into the game, being that there is no maximum enjoyment.

So indeed playing NMS is cheaper than casually doing cocaine.

I had some fun with the first two games, so I thought I'd give this a look. In addition to just being terribly done pixel art, something appears to be wrong with the way it's rendering, so it's all stretched and squashed unevenly. Maybe the game doesn't know what to do with my old-rear end monitor, but it's sure hard to look at.

I liked the gimmick in the first two Penny Arcade games where your player-created character would appear in the comic-style 2D cutscenes. It's a small touch for how time-consuming and pricy it must have been to do, but it was a really nice touch.

He's trying to reduce A-presses to 0, and when he does he'll tell Miyamoto "So you called him Jumpman, huh? Well, take a look at this!"

It's the ultimate purpose.

I've played 20 or so minutes of 1, but it is difficult and I want to jump straight to Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain because everyone gushes about them and it is apparently set in my favourite decade. Should I just suck it up and play everything in order?

In my opinion, Metal Gear Solid 1 is the best Metal Gear Solid game. There's only one other in the franchise that might actually be better. Either way, you should play it and you should play it before you play the others, because the original PSX MGS lacks a lot of quality of life features the sequels have. I will say that the difficulty you described is quite normal and the game punishes you harshly until you learn how to play it right, at which point everything should get a lot better.

Stick with it, and avoid any spoilers from here on out.

Yes, play them in order. The first half hour to hour of every MGS game is hard because you have to learn how everything works. GZ and V are very different from the rest of the series. Also, everyone has different favorites, so they're all worth experiencing.

I also don't know how well V runs on the PS3. I haven't tried but I've heard mixed things.

I say go for it. Going from Peacewalker to MGS4 or MGS3 to MGS2 can be difficult because the controls are so similar with small changes, but the gameplay in MGSV is so different that to you won't have that same trouble if you play older games after it.

If mgs1 is too difficult/old for you, you might enjoy Twin Snakes more. There's a lot of hate for it because of how easy it is, but it still hits all the same story beats.

I've done most of it, I started back in September having only played MGS2 when it first came out (I still replayed it for this run) and I'm just now starting Peace Walker. MGS3 was far and away my favorite of the bunch.
