Who knows, maybe I could be good at it and able to submit runs here?

The fact that it is SO obscure (in large part simply because they didn't add the name "Contra" to its title which is insane when you think about it!!!), but also SO good!īut then I realized that there were many moves/abilities that I basically never used, and are designed for speedrunning! I suck at those moves ATM, but I am willing to try them and get better, and attempt full runs using them. Well, until now, but only for this specific game for some reason. I have never attempted ANY speedrun in my 25+ years of gaming, as it never was a concept that interested me. There are very few moments where it lags a bit (the last time I played, on my PS3, was like 6 years ago, so many those laggy moments were also present then, IDK), but absolutely nothing remarkable even for someone as extremely picky as myself regarding FPS, stability, and latency. It was my favorite PS3 games, and I still have it along with my old PS3 in a box somewhere.īut recently I got my Steam Deck, and one of the very first thing I did was to setup RPCS3 with only a single game - Hard Corps Uprising. I hope they reboot this series to its roots rather than some corridor TPS/FPS, a 2D/2.5 game would be inexpensive to make and they could slap it on everything under the sun for $15.First, let me express how happy I am to see that anyone actually cares about this game. I fired it up recently and I could barely get past train. I lost more lives playing that game than I have ever have in a souls game.

Now I would just watch a youtube video but back then me and my friends got through that game 1 death at a time. Figuring out what weapons to use in various situations, memorizing patterns and staying frosty enough to hold it together to S-Rank that game is my greatest gaming achievement. I liked the selectable weapons and difficulty, plus I enjoy the bosses in that game. I have seen a lot of the usual mentions in this thread but my personal favorite is Shattered Soldier. Getting 2 people to be on the same page when you had one hit deaths was a masterful thing to watch. The ones that were the most impactful for me were the ones I played co-op with friends back in the day. I played through all the contra games other than the portable versions.
