/vr/ - Retro Games

Better graphics, better sound and more realistic movement. Of course it is.

>>3550702
Both Arcade and NES Contras are pretty shit. Go play III like a real man.

>>3550706
>III
Are you implicating that there isn't a superior Contra game like Hard Corps?

>>3550720
Hard Corps sucks lol. Boring short levels and awful boss designs.

>>3550706
More like 5 colors, hilariously broken animations and terrible controls.
>>3550710
I like you. You can come to my house and fuck my sister.
>>3550720
Does Hard Corps even use mode 7 for those top view levels? Didn't think so.

>>3550702
they sound like a bunch on contrarians

>>3550729
>Hard corps
>topdown levels

Dumbshit

>>3550737
Exactly, the game can't even handle them.

>>3550737
I know right. Who needs top-down when you can have AUTOOOSCROOOOLLIIIING PARALLAAAAAAXXX WOOOOOOOO

>>3550702
NES is a literal landfill when it comes to ports. But Contra does have a few extras not in the original Arcade release.

>>3550710
>Go play III like a real man.
It's as mashing intensive as 1, except this time you mash the shoulder buttons.

Hard Corps is the best /vr/ Contra, and it's a mediocre game.

III > Contra > Super C > Hard Corps > Force > shit > the PSX games

>>3550839
are you implying you wouldn't use shoulder buttons in HC if you could?

Might as well post this.

>>3550729

sorry I can't wait in line that long

>>3550839
>mashing
It's a shoot em up, stupid.

>>3551014
hard corps uprising sucks and isn't even an contra.

>>3551190

>isn't even an Contra

It has the Contra theme and spread-shot, so by default it is.

>mfw someone says NES as "Anyess"

>>3551384
Says an acronym like it's an acronym?

...

Huh?

>>3551390
Technically that's an initialism. If it was an acronym, people would pronounce it "Ness".

>>3551390
If you say "Anyess" you're not saying it as an acronym.
>>3551395
Most people say Ness or Nez.

>>3551014
>liked neo and 4
>didn't like the arcade games

pleb as fuck tbqh

>>3551405
literally no one says ness. what shitty rural community are you from?

>>3551014
Why did the playstation have to ruin video games?

>>3551395
I pronounced it NAD, for Nipponbox Amusement Device.

>>3552242
WTF are you talking about? I liked Super Contra.

>>3552283
Because the PS1 Contras were outsourced to the same Hungarians who made Amigavania.

Metal Slug > Contra

>>3552307
Metal Slug is fun but it is made for plebs like you. Don't worry kid, we were all babies before too.

>>3552307
The only good metal slugs are 1-3, Contra has a much better track record.

I think Contra Nes is really a classic of level design. It's pretty easy for an arcade veteran, yeah, but it's got a pretty flawless mix of platforming and combat (which stays tense every time thanks to the randomized runners) that stays exciting and fresh every time.

I prefer Super Contra Arcade to the nes version (can't stand the awful flat level design in the nes version), but I find it very flawed. Wonky aim controls, slower movement, and I find the top down stages nearly impossible to control. The last two side scroller stages are intense though.

Contra 3 is also my favorite.

Contra Force is low-key the best in the series. It completely nails that retro feel.

>>3550702
No one believes that though. Even this faggot: >>3550702 is just a troll.

>Super C not the best

>hard corps uprising is good
>meh'ing contra advance

You suck

>>3550702
I play Smash TV like someone who actually enjoys fun

Do you know how many times I've gotten laid encouraging some fine pussy to join me as 2P?

I don't have the fingers or the toes, brother.

>>3550854
The shoulder button mashing is probably a bug. It resets the weapon cooldown. I really doubt it was intended.

>>3553381
>Super C not the best
It's just the NES Contra with new levels. It's good, but too much of a rehash for me.

>meh'ing the first two arcade games
Are you faggots blind or did you not see the smiley face under Super Contra?

>legacy of war is bad
It is.

>hard corps uprising is good
It is.

>meh'ing contra advance
It was a mediocre port of Contra III without the weapon switching and mega bombs, plus tacked on levels from Hard Corps that clash with the rest of the game's art style. It should've been a new game instead.

>You suck
No U.

>>3550702
The arcade versions might not be as fun as the nes ones, but they were still good. The control just felt weird though.

>>3553291
Thoughts on Hard Corps?

Super Contra's the most enjoyable of the early Contra games to me because it's very tense. The controls are weird at first but you get used to them quick. The NES games are far too easy, playing them just gets boring very quickly.

>>3551014
>Neo Contra
>good
Shattered Soldier is the only 3D Contra worth playing

>>3554510
>Shattered Soldier
>3D

>>3554510
I never understood the hate for Neo Contra. Yes, it has a cheesy self-mocking tone and the weapon set with the Gradius V laser is an instant easy mode, but it was still pretty fun and has a more accessible co-op than Shattered Soldier. The OP song is catchy too

>>3554368
I like it a lot, though its a bit flawed. There are a lot of bosses that are either a bit too pattern based (seen it once? Okay, never gonna die to that again) or have strange safe spots.

Still though, it's a rocking good time. And the better bosses and stages are insanely fun.

>>3554510
>>3554567
I loved SS. I bought Neo years ago and never got around to it. Is it worth a try?

>>3558087
It's pretty much Shattered Soldiers with an overhead perspective instead of side-scrolling levels. A lot easier too, since you can choose your weapon set and some of the ones you unlock are really broken (like the aforementioned GV Laser). Also, it doesn't take itself as seriously as Shattered Soldier one of the bosses is a talking dog.
