What a load of kuso dogshit
>>12534469what didn't you like about it?
>>12534479The mode 7 sand level and boss
>>12534479Lacks blast processing
>what a fuck load of shit>what a fuck load of ass>what a load of shit from an ass>FFFFUUUUCCCKKK
>>12535887They thought the mode 7 would make up for it.
>>12535970It's called mode 7 because when you turn it on the game runs at 7 fps.
>>12534469>kuso dogshit>shit>:\>shit, japan(:D
>>12535997>7 fpsthat's genesis' software emulation of mode 7 effects
>>12534469It has some skill ceiling, but it's mostly a DPS race with half-baked setpieces. In MSLUG, the devs took all the setpieces and improved each one, so you can root everything in those Contra games. Even the arcade-only Konami shoot 'em ups handle Contra better than Contra itself. I won't even get started on Gunstar Heroes.
>>12534469>worse aesthetics than hard corps>worse music than hard corps>worse character selection than hard corpsBut you do get gimmicky mode 7 levels at least.
>>12536050Hard Corps has better gameplay mechanics but worse level design. I don't like the set pieces in that game
>moderately challenging game bad
>this good game is bad because.... uuuuuh, CONSOLE WARSI'm so glad I'm not you
>>12536060It's not about the difficulty, it's just poorly designed and unbalanced. And the game is downright miserable if you don't abuse the weapon swap "bug" (?) to shred enemies because they are just so fucking tanky.Stage 1 is a giant clusterfuckStage 2 is probably the only good stage in the game with a fun boss as wellStage 3 is gimmick trash, just looks and plays terrible with a boring and spongy bossStage 4 is more gimmick trash, an autoscroller with some of the worst bosses that have some bullshit patterns if you don't immediately nuke themStage 5 is even more gimmick trash, an even worse version of stage 2, with the absolute worst boss in the entire series (what the fuck were they thinking??)Stage 6 is an homage to the NES games but it just doesn't work as the enemies are so fucking tanky it feels off, and the bossrush is so bland and forgettable, they just feel throwaway, and it's moreso just annoying that you have to do this entire sequence of easy time-wasting bosses whenever you game over on the bullshit final two bosses. The roulette boss is also horrible, with attacks that range from absolutely harmless to nearly-impossible-to-dodge kaizo bullshit, and the roulette wheel spins so fast it's near impossible to actually influence it in any meaningful waySome of the parts of Contra 3 are legitimately fun and remind you of the NES classics, but so much of your time is just spent on straight bullshit
