>>12202079ninturd opinionHardcore wins by a light year
I, too, love instigating console wars!
>>12202086Segroid moment.Contra 3 mogs, BTFOs, and bukkakes it every day
>>12202064Hardcorpse mainly because the tech demo section of Super is a major flaw while Hardcorpse is perfectly fine for what it wants to be
>>12202064Hard Corps by a country mile, and while we're at it, Castlevania Bloodlines as well.I'm not even a Sega kid and I always felt the Super games were overrated as hell.
contra peaked on the NES
>>12202094>bukkakesautobiographical
>>12202154Nah, the 4th gen entries are great, but console warriors will never admit they're both good, they have to pick 1 and shit on the other.5th gen is when Contra was betrayed when Konami handed it to western devs.
Hard on corps has the best fucking beginning: you launch right into a mob in a van that EXPLODES while the music rocks on (also the music is the best undisputedly)
3, Hard corps always felt like a Treasure wanna be to me, even if 3 was the one coded by Treasure people, ironically
>>12202064Hard Corps, the japanese version.
I've done every ending with every character of Hard Corps 1CC; but in comparison 3 is such a chore to play I always have to force myself to keep going.The other anon is right though, Contra peaked on NES, Super C specifically.
>>12202064Super C or NES contra, contra is only good on the 3rd and 6th gen
>>12202079You look like a faggot you fpbp/thread your own comment
Hard CorpsGayylien Wars is reddit gimmick central
Anyone without brand loyalty knows it's hard corps and it's not even close
>>12202064HCU > Hard Corps > Super C > Contra NES > Shattered Shitter > Operation C > Contra 3
>>12202602The bosses in HC are more gimmicky than anything in 3.
>>12202687A gimmick is something that's style without purpose, when used derogatory. HC bosses are style but they serve a perfect function as bosses, the janky 3D sections of III are a detriment to the game. It was there to show off but doesn't function
>>12202710>HC bosses are style but they serve a perfect function as bossesPretty sure some cyclops dancing like a retard while doing nothing isn't functional to the gameplay, and this is only the first midboss, the game is bloated with this kind of shit. Mode 7 stages on the other hand bring an unique control and perspective scheme to the table (though not as unique as the game they were referencing with this).
>>12202840>Mode 7 stagesplay like shit
>>12202854>im shitwe know anon
>>12202687Gimmick implies it doesn't use the mechanics of the game to its strenghts, which is not the case here.
>>12202064I dont know, these games are too hard for me to even beat the first level so i cant make a judgement
>>12202882see >>12202840The cyclop shit alone feels like a one minute cutscene, which really hurts a game like Contra. Bosses in HC love to move their arms like retards and flail around before doing something, not to mention stupid shit like the human pyramid, who's just there as yet another multisprite gimmick.You want something cool that's actually functional to the gameplay? here, no simplistic safespots, no lame slide exploits, no dancin' and flailin', just pure ludo
>>12202556NES Contra puts the arcade version to shame, but that's not the case with Super Contra and Super C.
>>12202951Super C > NES Contra > AC Contra > AC Super Contra
>>12202992No, and keep your pointless rankings to yourself.
>>12202064Contra III for SNESA non-stop roller coaster ride of awesomeHard Corps is unique but having multiple characters and multiple endings does not make up for the game itself being a mess.
>>12202840>sectionsSpectacle that's supposed to be spectacle and acheives it is successful, you can like or dislike it. The parts of Contra III using mode7 don't work as intended because they control poorly, don't look great, and have slowdown worse than MMX I think it's a good game but since I like both games, I judge purely objectively about flaws vs enjoyment or preference
>>12203048>they control poorlymore like you are a filtered shitter>muh spectacle1 minute of dead air isn't "spectacle", it's shit design in a contra game
>>12203079>A boss animation that looks cool ruins the game but a completely janky game mode that breaks away from the core gameplay is perfectoYou probably also defend MM8 and Crash3. Or, you're just a Nintendrone
>>12203084>it is janky because... uh... it just is okay?>1 minute of nothing happening though? pure kinoWhy are HCdrones so fucking retarded? I seriously doubt you shitters even beat Contra 3
>>12203084MM8 is good. Don't bring it into this or I'll start defending Contra 3 as well.
>>12203093Contra 3 is easier than Hard Corpse. Why are you coping >>12203096You can but MM8 only looks good, it's by far the best LOOKING MM game but the level design is lazy the enemy placement lackluster and the stage gimmicks of which only one is jumpjumpslde I'll designed
Hard Corps > Contra 3Dracula X > Bloodlines > SCV4Turtles in Time > Hyperstone HeistRocket Knight > Sparkster (SNES) > Sparkster (MD)Sunset Riders (SNES) > Sunset Riders (MD)/thread.
>>12202154I agree. 3 still has some of the same spirit (lol), but you can tell the focus was already shifting away from refined gameplay towards pure spectacle. Hard Corps has a lot of parts made only to wow the player and is worse off for it.
>>12203141>Contra 3 is easier than Hard CorpseFuck no. Not on Hard.
>>12203159Personally I'd put SNES Sparkster above RKA but I'm contrarian like that. Otherwise this is spot on.
Serious question: how much money are you willing to bet that people claiming that CHC is "all show no substance" played the Japanese version?
>>12203162Hard Corpse balances cool visuals with the most challenging gameplay in the series. It's kind of a cope when people say it's all about the little cinematic moments when they're not skilled enough to beat the game
>>12203141>Contra 3 is easier than Hard CorpseThis is something only a HCdrone who never beat 3 would say, case in point
>>12203141>level design is lazy the enemy placement lacklusterNo it isn't. Just because it doesn't splatter your nuts with a sledgehammer doesn't make it lackluster.

>>12203079it takes like 15 seconds for the boss to 'show up' though?Contra 3 is also filled with some time wasters, waiting for the plane to fly by just to set the forground on fire.
>>12202064Contra Advance on the GBA mixes the best levels of Contra III and Hard Corps making it the best version of Contra
>>12203171>HC is easier than 3this is something only a tendie that never owned a genesis would say, case in point
>>12202064I like both, and honestly the atmosphere in both games is distinctive enough that I cannot compare them
>>12203669>n-n-no u!!weak auster
>>12203805absolutely mindbroken
>>12203669HC isn't easy but it is easier than III when you learn it. III still requires a higher level of execution overall so even when you have both games memorized, III will be more of a challenge while HC becomes considerably easier when you know what to do.If you want to console war and say III bad because overhead stages or HC bad because gimmicky bosses (both things I don't mind personally), go ahead, but by saying HC is harder and acting like a console warrior you seem to be falseflagging to make sega fans look retarded. You clearly haven't played both games.
>>12203475>it takes like 15 seconds for the boss to 'show up' though?And like other 40 to "beat", which is just staying in the middle and shooting up, so basically a 1 minute cutscene, pretty lame.>Contra 3 is also filled with some time wastersNowhere near as much, the plane one is short and it doesn't pretend like you're playing the game like HC
>>12204085Exaggerating
>>12203170I've beat the game on all endings. Even though I used the jap version to learn the routes before switching to US to execute them, I still rolled my eyes at banal unskippable shit that just wastes your time after the first couple times you see it. All the stupid text, the banal set pieces that boil down to jumping and shooting a few times (level 2 is full of this shit no matter which path you take), the autoscroller boss battle in the jungle that tests your ability to stay awake more than anything else. It's a good game, but not a great one by any means.
It's an insane, almost unreasonably difficult match between those two but I have to go with Contra III, it's barely a pixel better than Hard Corps but it still is. It's too difficult to pin two masterpieces against each other like this.
>>12202064there's never any reason to play a snes gameit's a downgrade in every possible respect
>>12205274based snesrager
Reminder to all contra fans, play the arcade original Contra and Super Contra games. The game is played on a vertical 4:3 screen, creating many interesting scenarios.
>>12202064This one
>>12202064Hard Corps by far.3 is just a laggy mess and the top down levels are cancer.
stop liking the super nintendo at once
There should've have been more mode 7 shooters and if you disagree you are an auster poser piece of shit
contra 3 and alien wars are early gen snes gameshard corps and bloodlines are late gen genesis gamesthey arent even comparable
I remember beating the Genesis version by climbing a wall and entering a kind of boss rush. Since I rented the game, I couldn't give it another try. Is that the right way to beat it? What did I miss?
>>12203010I've cleared all those with no death. Fuck off poser retard
>>12206371post no death 2-all of super contra or fuck off dumbass shitter
>>12204014The overhead stages in SC were much better than C3. The last level on C3 is God tier on hardest difficulty.
>>12202064Hardcorps easy. Mode 7 is never fun
>>12208662Why do you pretend to be ESL sometimes, austa?
>>12202423yea this
>>12208672>Schizo posting about an imagined boogie manWhy are all zoomers schizo. You should really stick to websites with usernames
>>12202064ps2 has the best contra bro.
>play contra 3>get muffled trumpets, flickering sprites and stuttering>play hard corps>pick babe or werewolf with shades or cool robot>https://youtu.be/vWo7miKSpDg>holyshit.exe
>>12202562agreed, immediately disqualifies the opinion
>>12202079Dont fuckin' do that you insecure retard c'mon now
>>12211170IT'S PAYBACK TIME
>>12206376Only did one loop of the shitty arcade game, truly a colossal piece of kuso garbage
>>12202064Metal Slug
I like both the same.
Alien wars visuals have more sovl. Hard Corps is a better game by a small margin.
>>12211170
>>12210641This. Only casuals disagree.
Neither, this series has never been fun at all in my opinion

>>12210641Is an amazing game but a bit difficult.
