Was this the peak of the run 'n' gun genre?

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 10:40:53 2015 No.2813329 No, it was worse than Gunstar Heroes.

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 10:41:30 2015 No.2813330 >>2813306 No it was Metal Slug 3

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 10:41:44 2015 No.2813332 >>2813306 the crowning achievement of an otherwise thoroughly mediocre genre

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 10:43:05 2015 No.2813335 >>2813330 Yeah, Metal Slug 3 and Shocktroopers are what I would consider to be the "definitive" Run and Guns. Metal Slug 1 and X are good in their own right but 3 is just perfect.

>I don't like this genre so it sucks overall

Nice 13 year old attitude there.

>>2813306
That would have been a pretty early peak. I'd say probably one of the Metal Slugs, but which I can't pick.

Also I think Bangai-O is more like a run n gun than a shmup which is what many people lump it in with.

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 10:53:07 2015 No.2813356 >>2813339 No one except collectors give any shits about rarity.

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 10:53:53 2015 No.2813359 >>2813339 No it's because of the somewhat unique mechanics (for the time) and the fact that it's a boss rush game.

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 11:00:16 2015 No.2813368 >>2813339 >rare games cannot be good ever Go play ass creed fag

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 11:14:50 2015 No.2813391 Alien soldier is ok but its no metal slug 3.

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 11:15:34 2015 No.2813392 >>2813359 Some people really get their panties in a twist when a game they don't personally love is popular.

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 11:16:33 2015 No.2813394 Is Metal Slug really better than Contra 3 or Hard Corps

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 11:21:50 2015 No.2813404 >>2813394 If MS3 wasn't such a rubberbandy quarter muncher it would be. So, Metal Slug X is the peak of the run'n'gun genere

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 11:43:43 2015 No.2813467 megaman 2-4 is the best gun and run games.

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 23 11:51:23 2015 No.2813483 >>2813306 It's barely run n gun, through. If you like boss rush games though, then it's one of the best certainly.

It's a good game, but not a good run 'n gun.

>>2813350
Do you happen to have more? .GIFs like these come in handy when trying to recommend the BO series.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 24 22:41:17 2015 No.2816814 i cant handle this thread right now. have you guys even played this game all the way through? or was it too difficult

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 24 22:45:10 2015 No.2816821 >>2816814 >too difficult >in a game you can get infinite health in nice try, but that argument wont work here

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 24 22:53:29 2015 No.2816832 Not really a run and gun, but it is Treasure's best game and possibly the best 16 bit game IMO.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 24 23:03:57 2015 No.2816845 Metal Slug 3 is the magnum opus of the run and gun genre

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 24 23:05:31 2015 No.2816847 >>2816821 >get infinite health what are you talking about
