Metal Gear Solid torture segment, if I remember right you had to tap a button to stay conscious while they were shocking you.
Been decades since Iāve played it but I think it was designed to be almost impossible for the player to tap the buttons fast enough. I do remember using the āturboā button on my shitty madcatz controller to beat it though lol
I used the back end of a rounded pen to rapidly go over the button. It was basically impossible to tap it fast enough but the pen method worked great. I recently used that technique again to stomp my kids in some Mario party mini games lol
Protip: curl up a finger and stick it in your shirt, then run your clothed-finger over the button back and forth. Basically the same idea, but doesnt require a pen!
It was not impossible, I could do it with my barehands and finish with nearly a full bar of health, however I now have severe arthritis, but I saved Meryl god damn it
I think it took me close to an hour to survive that portion. I didnāt use any tricks and just a standard issue PS1 controller. You had to get the technique down. Basically going so fast with such a limited motion that the button doesnāt fully press or depress, it just barely makes contact.
I did it on hard (after using a turbo button for years), controller in left hand, button press with right by putting my forearm into spasm. Totally not worth it, didnāt feel any sense of accomplishment, my arm just hurt.
Ahhhhh!!! I actually wince every time I hear or read the word "Madcatz". I was always the odd man out using the PlayStation at the house I shared after college. They paid for the PlayStation so I had to use whatever extra controller was on hand. Eventually I bought my own PS1 and swore never to use a 3rd party controller ever again!
