Didn't realize how hard MGS4's Disc Swap joke hit until I backed it up (programming.dev)

The Clip if you've never seen it before.

Recently I've been archive my PS3 library of games, and I just finished backing up MGS4. Normally a third party PS3 game is between 7-12GB, however MGS4 is 33GB. To play MGS4 on a 360 you'd need like 4-5 DVD's depending on how they compressed it.

Didn't realize how large games were back even a decade ago.

I think the commander dude gives you hints if you keep losing a particular fight though. He'll get explicit about the trick for Psycho Mantis!

You have to pester the colonel on the codec like 3 or 4 times until he gives the idea to plug the controller on slot 2. The first few times I got past Mantis thanks to infinite ammo and health, brought to me by Gameshark ๐Ÿฆˆ. If you keep shooting the FAMAS, a shot will occasionally hit Mantis. He dodges explosions, so Grenades, Nikita and Stinger don't work.
