DuckTales!

I ordered the "Physical" edition, so I won't have it until next week :/

Yeah as Alan and cka said, there will be times that I'm sure I pressed the button to pogo, and it just flat-out doesn't happen. Of course there are those times when I do pogo and I get hurt, but that's because I was a little to the left or right of the dude's sprite, and I totally take ownership of that. There are also the times you fall from off-screen (like from off a chain or rope) and pogo-ing just isn't possible like that sometimes.

I just remembered they changed the controls for this remake. Is there a way to play with the original controls and if so does it make any difference?

Yeah there's the option to "hard pogo" and control the game just as you did on the NES. It doesn't make much of a difference; the input drops still happen with their case.

The pogo rules ARE the game. A DuckTales with a pogo that occasionally resists input is like a video chess game where you just kind of can't move your knights once in a while.

I guess it was never a question of whether this would be better than the original. It was a question of how much worse it would be.

cka is saying something different than George and alan. If I'm reading this right, cka is saying the pogo stops in midair while he's holding the button for no good reason. I haven't seen that happen.

I have jumped at enemies and not pogo'd and gotten hit, so maybe that's the dropped inputs the other two are talking about. Just assumed I either fucked up or this horrible 360 dpad did, but maybe that happens once in a while.

my pogo stopping thing might just be an issue with motioninjoy DS3 drivers or some shit like that I don't know, but it doesn't happen on rogue legacy or spelunky hd at all

and I also have the problem where the pogo just won't come out and I land on enemies/spikes

I recall the NES pogo being kinda twichy every once in a while, perhaps they were being too literal.

Never.

Just installed motioninjoy so I can use the PS3 pad. Feels great so far. That 360 pad is a crime against humanity.

Let's talk heart containers. I don't have the achievement so I must've missed one. I have 7 of what I assume are 8. I wish I could remember where I found them.

edit: nvm I had missed a super obvious invisible wall in the Amazon. EIGHT HEART CONTAINERS. Just TRY to fucking die, Jesus.
