FIO
>>738250031Yes.Play every game
>>738250031More metal slug
>>738250209>>738250239what's the point of playing a lazy asset flip instead of just replaying one of any of the other games

>>738250274Because it is still not like the other games.
>>738250579Yeah it sucksUnlike the others
>>738250640Then do what you want.
>>738250640Why do you ask then?They are all pretty much the same except the 3d game and the mobile game
>>738250872they aren't the same at all1-3 all have unique and interesting bosses and levels to each of themeven 5 is unique compared to 4
Why does Metal Slug 2 lag so fucking muchWhy does anyone say it's better than X
>>738252317Metal Slug 1 lags at points for me too, but then again I'm playing on the Switch (pirated, of course but there's a sale going on now). Am I better off emulating via Finalburn Neo or something?
>>738250209WOAH
>>738252564it's supposed to lag, it's accurate to the arcade 2 in particular just lags way worse than everything elseit's why they made X to fix it
X≥3>1>5when are 6 and XX getting put on switch
>>738253768>it's supposed to lag, it's accurate to the arcadeReally now? Figured those arcade boards (and by extension the AES) were strong enough to prevent that. So the whole autism regarding "speed vs accuracy" is emulating the flaws as well?>>738254403Seconded. What's taking so long?
>>738249845Holy shit what are they using, a plasma knife or something? He just obliterated that soldier
>>738254403I loved to take her and Eri together to the MS3 ending floating in the tank in middle of the sea.
>>738254618A lot of arcade games lag, most of them are designed around it2 in particular just had fucked up coding that makes it lag unbearably bad most of the game instead of just slowing down when a lot of shit is happening
>>738248437SHOTGUN

downloaded a tower defense game from an ad, from a game i was getting a "double rewards" thing, because i'm watching youtube and the game plays itselfand the new game is identical down to the menu item descriptions, the entire UI, the "log in daily bonus"it reminds me of Metal Slug, the weird power ups
anyone played the PS2 ports? I have my ps2 setup but some versions of SNK ports are iffy with input lag and such
>>738249845This is the type of talent that can't be learned.
Metal Slop was never good
>>738255895SUPER Grenade!
>>738257557why not?
>>738257843He's a Gen Z idiot who got filtered by the game.
Why would you EVER take Drop Shot? I legit can't think of an area where it would be good.
>>738258431it's good for enemies behind coverit's basically the same as throwing grenades
>>738259198It really isn't. Most of the time it will either bounce off the cover itself or go over the enemy entirely.
>>738250031Literally the two best games, why the fuck would you play 3, 5, and 6 but not 2 and 4?
>>738259321simply aim better>>738259369>4 >goodnigga that game is the most soulless asset flip ever2 is obsoleted by X
>>738250292
>>738258431MS5, Stage 4. Drop Shot appears in an area where you'll likely run out of Machine Gun while trying to deal with enemies from a safe distance, so it can be used to finish them off.
>>738257557a game with this much soul is by definition not slop
>1cc'D Slug 1 and X>Can't 1cc 3 because the final stage is about as long as the first 4>Best I've gotten is just one credit
>>7382513301 has filler stages and 3 is exhausting, while 4 has some unique bosses and stages. It's definitely an asset flip, but it's not a game worth skipping altogether. I wonder why Toschka Dalanue is way harder than the three bosses after it
>>738260108>unique bossesthey're literally just stapled together from other bosses and barely have attacks >stagesthey are LITERALLY just stages from the old games with none of the attention to detailthe final stage is just a bland hallway with the shittiest final boss everthere is nothing in 4 I couldn't better experience just replaying 1-3, and if I really wanted dual machine guns I can just play 5 which at least tries to be unique even if it's not as good>1 has filler stages???
>>738260108There's a stage in 4 that is literally just a stage from 1 but recolored.
>>738260373>they're literally just stapled together from other bossesStage 5 boss' graphics are, yes. But they're unique as bosses, and the ones in stage 3 and final have unique attacks. 5's is also decent, even if too easy.>they are LITERALLY just stages from the old games with none of the attention to detailThe enemy encounters and placement differ, though some of them are poor. Stage 5 has some interesting sections. If you're talking about stage graphics, MS5 is almost as guilty due to most of its stage graphics being recycled as well, and most of its enemies are also reskins.>???Stage 2 and 4 are both mostly easy and uninteresting. Stage 1 as well, but first stages tend to be like that in general and MS4 is guilty in particular for being particularly boring in that regard (and MS5 for the autoscroller and ceiling sections)
>>738260856they SUCK as bosses
>>738258431That one part in mission 3 of MSX right after they give you the weapon.
>>738260996I liked the three I mentioned. What do you dislike about them?
HEVY MASHEEN GUN
>>738260856>Stage 2 and 4 are both mostly easy and uninteresting.No? Stage 2 was always the most memorable for me, with the boats and bridges, Big Ben fallen over in the background, the random miniboss halfway through, they are all distinctly "MS1 things" for me.And stage 4 has the cool setpiece of the bar and the cliffs, so cool in fact that they reused it twice in MS4, the dual boss is also very memorable.
When are we getting a new collection? Anthology is great, but the Wii version is hard to find and the PS2 version has those weird load times.>J-just emulate!Fuck you.
>>738262532I agree that these are cool elements, but I mean strictly from a gameplay perspective. It's true that MS4 mostly lacks things like that, so if you value that the most, MS4 is horrible. Though it does have the snowman soldiers at the start of stage 3, theme park entrance/boss and the sailors escaping from the ship, but that's about it.
>>738262820And hopefully with the content from the various versions, like the PS1 version of 1 and X had the "Another Mission" mode and 3 had the mode where you play as a rebel soldier. Also all the Combat Schools.
>>738263034if I only cared about the gameplay I would play literally any other game that doesn't constantly slow down when you blow shit upI play metal slug because it looks like it was crafted by god himself and filled with insane amounts of detail and care
are the online leaderboards in the aca ports legit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpwiBFHTDS0>Think its over>NOPE YOURE GOING TO SPACEKino.
>>738268060why the FUCK is the final level so long
>>738269030They thought it would be the last game so they went insane with it.
>>738256140why are zoomers like this
>>738269030>die on stage 3>Hm, I'm running a bit low on coins. Guess I'll go play something else>die on the "last" stage>Well, I gotta see the end. I guess I'll put in another coin. It can't be THAT much longer!
>fetish unlocked
>>738269351It kinda was. SNK went bankrupt shortly after, got brought up by Aruze and most of the devs fucked off.
>>738269951Meant for >>738269225
It's the best run n gun series, right? Contra is the only one you could argue is better.
>>738262820Arcade Archives is the closest we'll get short of emulating on PC.>>738270018Well Contra does let you quick jump down ledges, unless there's some obscure button combination.
Is Metal Slug 4 worth 4 bucks?
>>738250031If you play 2 without slowdown I actually think its slightly better than X. I like the encounters and flow of 2 way more and I hate that X reuses the worst boss from MS1 as the first boss. I also like that the aliens are kept for the end of the game in 2.
>>738273056but X has more weapons and fun stufflike adding the tank to the train level and letting you ride the jet with itI like the plane boss in X better with the falling tanks too rather than it just spawning grunts
>>738273004Why do you ask this in every thread? The answer is always no nigga.
>>738273853I am addicted to metal slugI need my fix
>>738269936Melting clothes is a sub category of ENF.
what other arcade games should i play if i like metal slug
>>738277135Demon Front
>>738277135GunForce 2In the Hunt
Chaser > Shotgun > Rocket Launcher > 2HMG > everything else
>>738277949I liek the IYURN LIZZURD
What are your favourite stages across each game?
>>738277851>in the huntthis game looks really cooland I know it's from the metal slug devsbut something about playing as a submarine is really lame and keeps me from getting it
SHOUTGAWN!
when is the new metal slug coming out
