Why didn't they make a Contra fps? Anonymous Thu Dec 14 22:20:11 2017 No.4461604 [Reply] [Original]

>>4471218
It’s a shoot em up/run and gun with hundreds of bullets flying on screen at the same time. Bullet hells, shoot em up it’s all the same shit, the only thing that changes is the setting and characters, which decide the type of movement. On foot? Left and right movement with jumping. Flying? Any direction of movement.

It’s all the same genre, but if you want to argue semantics then be my guest, I won’t waste my time.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 19 13:14:24 2017 No.4471248 >>4471235 It's unfortunate but also their own fault to an extent. I thought Nex Machina looked like a generic Unity game when I first saw it.
