I think it's interesting to look at controllers as the physical manifestation of how complex video games have become when contrasting the beginning and present of the medium, but I think it stops there.
I beat MGS2 in one sitting, I don't remember any damn swimming.
I don't actually remember much of the game at all. And I didn't totally beat it in one sitting, I got to the Solidus in New York and then passed out. I didn't come back to it for like 6 months then before beating it.
Yeah I played it until I passed out, I got woken up about 5 hours later and I was still still sitting up with the controller in my hand.
edit: Unless you mean the don't remember swimming part. Maybe I do, was it when you first started playing Raiden? Like before you find out you're not Snake.

Wow, that's fucked.
Well, you kinda swim into the facility, but you don't have to do any actual underwater. Then there's the "Emma" sequence with the underwater mines.
I hated the MGS2 swimming for a long time. Within the first months the game was out I beat the game roughly 5-6 times.
Then I didn't play it again for probably a year, year and a half. Every time I've played it since that first stint the swimming has been easy as hell for some reason and I've had absolutely no problem with it.
Still haven't figured that out.
But uhh.. Wii
I just beat Mario Galaxy. The last level was rad as hell.
No that is a sign of "I'm at a friends house who lives far away, I can't borrow the game because I don't own a ps2." I was like 14.
jesus.
so you made it all the way to the screwed up part where GW starts sending you the spooky codec messages? how did that not freak you out?
i didn't play the whole damn game in one shot but i did finish the game in a late night session. when the "Colonel" starts messaging you telling you that you've been playing the game way too long and to "stop right now", that scared the hell out of me, i was so sleep deprived.

it sounds cool in theory but I can't really see myself using it

Actually I did something like that once at a party I hosted, just set all 4 player slots to computer and had the match be infinite stock and just let it run.
It got people who normally wouldn't have talked with each other very much to play together.

Yeah, so once again, Galaxy is fucking insanely hard to put down.

When I hit that part in the game, I was like "man, this would probably fuck with my head if my suspension of disbelief weren't broken." The problem for me was that when they put me in the mock-up Shadow Moses room with no explanation of how I got there, I just went "WHAAAAAT? COME ON."
If I had just found my own way into there, would've been a different story.

To be honest, the whole "you've been playing this game a while, why not take a rest?" part almost got me. By that point I had been playing for like, four hours straight so I was like "Yeah, you know, I could use a break."

Yeah, that would've worked too except I had only been playing for like an hour.
Bad luck, I guess. That stuff could've been much more trippy. That said, I actually pondered for a moment if Kojima would know whether or not I turned off the console and reloaded my save. If the PS2 had had a hard drive, it would've been entirely reasonable that he could have programmed something like that in there, and you know that fucker would. Again, had my suspension of disbelief not been broken, I probably would have.

They've run their own online servers before, right?
It's supposed to be a pain in the ass to navigate, for better or worse.
I just love the fact that in the olden days, most hardened combat warriors would instantly drown in a puddle of water.
that's a given
it's just that pointing yourself in the right direction has to be a fucking chore and a half
Yes, it will be on EA's servers, which means no Friend Codes.
Yipee!

I hate doing the stupid mini game levels like manta surfing and the super monkey ball type shit.
Those suck.
The rest of the level design is awesome though.

Woo?
did you understand the ending

Reusing areas and enemies from Outbreak is not an acceptable substitute for actual areas and enemies from RE3
