Now that I've played Cuphead, what other run n guns should I play?
Contra III or Hard Corps.
>>739849820>he thinks there's moreheh...nope it's just contra and THAT'S IT
>>739849820META SLUG 3 and post replays
>>739849820Mighty Goose
Unironically Alien Hominid HDAlien Hominid Invasion is pure slop
>>739850471dis lol
>>739850568game2hard4me
>>739849820Gunstar Heroes
>>739850608There's difficulty settings, coop and (in the XBLA version which is easy to emulate in Xenia), you can just restart progress at the level you just unlocked
>>739850709I actually played the game in newgrounds back in the day. Yes I'm old and yes I'm never good at video-games. And when I complain about SNES retro games people accused me of being a zoomer
ContraGunstar HeroesAlien SoldierThere aren't many, but they're all quality.
>>739850290>>739850484>>739850653No uncslop please.I meant modern games that are user friendly and not 0-continuous fake difficulty horseshit for autists.Thanks
>>739850826OP here this is NOT me we need IDs and flags on /v/
>>739850863>random asshole is pretending to be me now to undo my poststhis is all so tiring.jpg
>>739850812Yes the flash version. That fucking robot boss on keyboard controls felt fucking impossible (that and it had a billion hit points and it felt like it was never gonna die)
>>739850949Run n guns for this feel?
>>739850826*0 continues
>>739850471Super C(ontra) is pretty good too. Basically just more levels of the same game.
>>739850863No we don't need flags but I agree with IDs. Flags would just make any discourse turn into attacking the poster instead of the post.
>>739851215>>739850863>hey let's just turn 4chan into reddit xDDno, go back.
>enter metal slug thread>just people jerking off the pixel art>people claiming le zoomers don't want to play hard games>no one in the thread is actually playing the game, no streams, no clearsWhat's up with arcadefags?
>>739851736i am rustyyou need patience
bump for this forgotten genre
>/v/>talking about videogames
>>739849820rockman 4little samsonwonder boy (arcade)
>>739849820this game was inspired by gunstar heroes so you can start there
Alien Soldier
>>739850863Okay then "OP" (if that's even your real name)...Not just run 'n guns but play every game by Treasure. Cuphead is riffing on that studio's games more than anything else. Treasure were the pioneers of boss rush games, period. The green homing stars? Cuphead took that from Gunstar Heroes. I-frame dash? That's Alien Soldier. Pink parry bullets? That's Radiant Silvergun. Dice Palace? That's Gunstar again. DLC secret boss? That's Silhouette Mirage. And on and on.Oh yeah, you know the I-frame dash and the parry-to-riposte formula that countless modern games follow? Treasure nailed that formula all the way back in Alien Soldier.The studio has only been more validated with time and you would do right to play all their shit.
>>739855067>DLC secret boss? That's Silhouette Mirage.oohhhh shit, never thought of that
>>739854630I don't know why people keep saying this. The core gameplay of Cuphead has a lot more in common with 16-bit Contras with snappy movement, simple enemy behavior, 2 weapons and dash having some similarity to Hard Corps' slide.
cuphead greatest inspiration was hard corps uprising
>>739855294because the devs said as much (no I won't source this). The simple enemy behaviour is just a byproduct of run and gun segments not even being a part of the original pitch, MS pushed them to include them because they thought a boss rush only game was a bad idea (no I won't source this either)
>>739855067I could only ever get into the S&P games, their other games feel gimmicky and shallow
>>739855613I'm in a similar camp but I do enjoy mischief makers as well. Have you tried Alien Solider? it's probably their most realized concept alongside the shmups
>>739855613>their other games feel gimmicky and shallowsin and punishment games are just rail shootersi dont like ikaruga or radiant silvergun too much but come on treasure shmups are decent games
>>739855770>Alien Soliderunfinished gameikaruga and radiant silvergun are finished games
>>739855067>you would do right to play all their shitThen sell them to me.
>>739855862how about no?
Does Freedom Planet count as Run & Gun? The amount of bosses and the gameplay do resemble Treasure games, there is even a Seven Force like boss in the first game
>>739855884you dont play treasure games, do you?
>>739855798The best rail shooters are a transcendent experience in the art form of games and I will die on this hill
The Red Star
>>739855965I've beaten dynamite headdy (jp), gunstar heroes, alien soldier, silhouette mirage (retranslation), guardian heroes (most overrated game in existence) and mischief makers. I've 1cc'd both sin and punishments (though not on hard yet), and I've credit fed ikaruga and radiant silvergun
>>739855613>gimmickyAre you the Ausfag schizo?
>>739856043nahshmups are better and harder
>>739856190>and I've credit fed ikaruga and radiant silverguntypical treasure fanboy
>>739856402I don't like shmups, sue me
>>739856402i'm a treasure fanboy and i've 1CC'd Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun (both arcade routes(not the story mode because it's impossible and also the length of a fucking movie))

>>739856972typical poser
Is Blazing Chrome any good?
>>739857058yes showing off to grown ass men on the internet is what posing meansi accept your concessionmy score on RSG lv2 route is over 8 mil btw, good luck kiddo
>>739857221yeahits similar to contra but the dev team is really small so is not as polished as konami games
>>739857280>RSG lv2 route is over 8 mil btwpost your replayi want to see evidence
another bump for this dying genre
>>739849820metroid
>>739850863Contra and Metal Slug are the important series, if you want to try old games. There's run and guns from the top-down perspective as well, I guess don't worry bout those. Gunstar Heroes is the best in genre for the 16-bit gen.For modern games there's Blazing Chrome and Valfaris, among other games that may not especially appeal to you unless you've fallen in love with the genre. Alien Strike was a recent one, it's pretty cool in some ways and mid in others.
>>739855541>arcsys made a 7th gen run and gunNo shit, huh? Is it good?
>>739859467>Gunstar Heroes is the best in genre for the 16-bit genHard disagree on that. One thing I can't fault the game for is the lightsaber weapon and the final boss fight, that shit's pretty tight, but other than that the game does nothing that 16-bit Contras or other 16-bit Treasure games don't do much, much better. The random weapon drops and the weapon balance overall are straight ass, actually.
>>739859579yesits the greatest run n gun of all timethe best mechanics in the entire subgenre
>>739856732Sin and PunishmentSin and Punishment 2Panzer Dragoon Orta
Reminder that Child of Eden has less than 1% clear rates on its hardest difficulty, making it objectively harder than DOJ
>>739860954>Panzer Dragoon Ortathis game is so overratedi prefer house of the dead or even the resident evil games
>>739861138Orta is great, it's the Saturn games, yes including le heckin Saga, that are overrated
>>739861087the real challenge is beating dodonpachi doj death label
>>739849820Fury unleashed if you want a roguelike experience.
>>739861138Try the dead space one on Wii, it’s pretty good.
Why don't arcade "fans" ever seem to actually play? They'll talk about the games, the aesthetics, the notions of difficulty, the cultural zeitgeist, lament that people don't play hard games, yet when pushed, it's clear they don't play
>>739862070If you want to show off then you could start including your own clears on these posts, then other anons could try to beat your score
>>739861879noi had enough of these games
>>739862345I'm terrible at this genre, but crucially, I don't make posts boasting how great I am, unlike other people I see
Mork is a fraud
