The Great Debate
>>12123554What debate? they were never direct competitors and even MS3 takes a lot of inpiration from Hard Corps.
>>12123563>MS3 takes a lot of inpiration from Hard Corps.lol
>>12123554both mogged by mercs
>>12123571what's so funny? the multiple level paths, the final boss design, even the last level has you riding a rocket into space like in ms3.
>>12123586OK anon let's pretend your favorite game invented [generic ass game ideas]
>>12123554Contra plays better, MS looks better
>>12123596The inspiration is obvious, but you can keep coping all you want.
Gunstar Heroes
>>12123586The design isn't even close other than "creepy alien thing", lurk more retard
>>12123624Did you fail to read the rest of the post? it's not just the final boss, but also other things like the branching paths and the last levels.>Lurk moarYou don't know what that means you fucking tourist
>>12123554>debateis it?they both exist and you can play boththat's a good thing
>>12123627>hurrrr durrr rocket launch protect da worldGeneric ass setting, off the top of my head already in Cybernator, Wolf Fang and Contra 3 >muh branching pathsOutrun did those like a decade before it's not special anymore. Hard corps probaboy got reminded of them by Wolf fang (if not D&D) which follows a similar briefing intro for each mission. Metal Slug 3's branching paths aren't chatty like in those games, they are just background interactions like in Golden Axe RoTA
>>12123672>It's generic because I say soHow do you explain the extremely similar looking final boss designs then? even the vomitting attacks are the same
>>12123678>my favourite game is the main inspiration because I say so Is this some new kind of autism?>vomiting attack Ah yes another Hard Corps™ original
>>12123692See? you just keep coping without providing any real arguments.
>>12123693Nice projecting retard, now post that developer interview or fuck off with your schizo head canons
>>12123694>interviewYour such a fucking newfag holy shit, do the world a favour and kill yourself.
>>12123703>hurrr durrrThought so retard
>>12123717Take this L and fuck off retard.
>>12123554Well. Another great thread courtesy of /vr/ and autism
>>12123586>>12123605Interesting. I never realized this.
>>12123554Metal Slug 2
>>12123586>>12123605>>12123627>>12123678>>12123693This settles it. Contra wins.
>still assmad and samefaggingHoly shit what a pathetic schizo
They both suck nigger
>>12123554Completely different subgenres. Contra and Gunstar Heroes are comparable though.
Metal Slug mogs it. as a kid I used to draw porn of Allen O'Neil raping Eri and tarma.
>>12123554Contra is too hard
>>12123604Sums up what I was about to say. Contra is generic, but plays well. Metal Slug oozes charm and personality, but doesn't play as well.Tbqh, one of my main problem's with Metal Slug's gameplay is that your default pistol can't be aimed diagonally. Having to mash the fire button hurts my hand and wrist too. Thank fuck for autofire features, like in Anthology.
The Great Debate: Is OP a combative fag?Y E S
>>12123554Nobody cares about Arcade Contra.
>>12124502i do and you're not me and I'm not nobody so nyehhh
>>12123554Metal Slug=GOON NOWContra=NEVER GOON
>>12123554>Metal Slug vs. Contra>two entirely different hardware platformshave you considered not injecting heroin?>>12123571>anon realizes his favourite nes slop is completely derivative>>12123596>nooo not like thishilarious
>>12124468these are the kinds of games built during a time where if programmers and beta testers found it to be a challenge to complete, for everyone else that means fucking difficult. games made to entertain the programmer and its testers more than a wider audience.
