what the FUCK were they thinking?? this is a massive step down from Super C and Contra III, let alone even coming remotely close to masterpieces like Metal Slug

I literally no-missed Contra (AC), Super Contra (AC), Contra (NES), Super C (NES), and Operation C (GB), and 1CC'ed Contra III (SNES)

Hard Corps is just shockingly bad.

Work on your no-miss of Contra III instead of making garbage threads on a garbage board

Those are definitely easier games with the exception of Contra III on hard mode. But hard mode in Contra III is utter bullshit of the highest caliber.

Please tell me how the FUCK you think this looks acceptable? EVERY FUCKIGN POPCORN ENEMY IN THE GAME DOES THIS, AND THEY EVEN FUCKING OVERLAP AND COVER LITERALLY 100% OF THE SCREEN IF THERE IS JUST EVEN MORE THAN ONE ENEMY

WHY

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVER DO THIS???

Not OP but I also tried to play this game because everyone told me how good it is. Fucking explosions non stop, everywhere. It's almost impossible to dodge projectiles because I can't see shit on almost any screen.

Fucking retard. Spamming the same lazy stock explosion effect that covers 60% of the screen for every trash mob is just lazy, looks like shit, and obscures so much of the screen in visual clutter.

Compare that to something like Metal Slug, where there are multiple unique levels of destruction and top-notch animation for destroying the environment, as well as being implemented into gameplay by stopping enemy spawns or giving you items/score when you destroy structures.

This is a good game on Japanese Mega Drive. It's piss poor on the Sega Genesis. Nearly unplayable.

It's crazy that Metal Slug came out just two years later. It so thoroughly mogs Contra Hard Corps in every imaginable way. Graphics, art-style, sound, animation, mechanics, control, weapons, boss fights, enemy design, level design, setpieces, pacing, attention to detail, etc. Just puts the shitty Contra games to shame.

Oh yeah this was meant to be a comparison of destruction Contra Hard Corps vs. Metal Slug.

Absolute night and day difference. Imagine puking out stock explosions that cover 3/4ths of the screen and then having this masterpiece two years later that has such intricate destruction levels and animations. It's truly incredible and even nothing today comes close.

Just an fyi: almost anything marked as "longplay" or "walkthrough" is almost TAS/save-state.
