I didn’t mind the M, but F, and L can fucken suck it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm the opposite - M is useless, the others are fun!

We should play together some time. We would make the perfect duo. Also, I think I saw that a set of Contras is/was on sale on Steam, because a new 2d Contra is being released soon.

I bought it on Switch (I think) last year and found out that I suck much more than when I was 8yo.

Well, that honestly probably makes two of us then. Games back then were fucking brutal. They couldn’t rely on flashy videos and graphics. The replayability was in the difficulty and bragging rights (if you finished it). Contra though was one of those games that I always felt was fair.

Anyway, if you ever get the itch, hit me up. I have switch and steam.

M

That just sounds like S but with more chaotic aiming and haphazard jumping.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It is. It definitely isn’t as good as S. But it gets the job done.

F is a close second to S for things that are hard to hit when you're taking cover.
