Then obviously you’re not a child of the 80’s-90’s… every kid with a Nintendo talked about it often… it was a great series. 3 was my personal favorite. I was hoping for something on par with 3’s over the top bad assedness. This looks like a great way to alienate your core audience but I haven’t played it and really didn’t care for the panda puss bucket guy or the women for me contra was two jacked dudes pissed to no end tearing ass and totally 80’s sci-fi action shooter not this or it’s spiritual successor gears contra stands up all on its own period

I think this is first time I hear you angry, I mean the reviews are always balanced between positive and negative aspects but I can see the amount of frustration of a true fan in the review, Thanks man
I think konami should remaster Super C, Shattered Soldier and Contra 3 and 4 with updated tech but leave them like they are just improve grafics and sound
Got it brand new today for $7 and I'll apply on it one of the most important collecting rules: "If a game is bad, it will sell poorly. And if it sells poorly, there will be only one print. And if there's only one print, it will become rare. Sooner or later". Just ask Rambo for the PS3 :D
boy this is heartbreaking to hear, it pains me to see yet another classic series killed off with a single poor design choice. Oh well, the action and thrills live on through games like Cuphead.
@@battlion507 Both of you are idiots. Blazing chrome is easy. This game is a real Contra game I terms of difficulty. Neither of you girls are worthy to play the game.
I was thinking the same, because I was watching my brother play it the day he bought it from the PS Store. I thought it looked fun, the graphics are decent in comparison to the old Contras i seen on TH-cam.
The odd thing with the weapon overheat is to emphasize the weapon change mechanic is it counter intuitive a little but if you master both guns equiped it does keep the pace of contra but the feeling isnt pure contra it feels half contra half old geo wars
So, I'm not that big of a Contra fan, I'm more into Castlevania and I understand this review and see where you're coming from... most of the time. I played the Contra Rogue Corps demo a couple of weeks ago, and I had fun while agreeing that the graphics and OST are not very good. Here's the thing I don't agree on: Overheating. Yes, the idea sucks and I was initially worried about it, but when I played the demo, I realized something very simple that makes the overheating not as bad as it looks, just switch to the other weapon. That's it! When you switch to the other weapon, your main weapon is still cooling down, so after you use that weapon, you can go back to your main weapon adn you pretty much do this. Now, I don't know if you can get more different types of weapons, but the 2nd weapon that you get in the demo is pretty decent, so at the end of the day, with this weapon change system, I don't see overheating was a BIG problem. Yes, it sucks, but there is a way around it.
Dude, there are tons of weapons to create. You can make a tomahawk and axe everyone. It super strong. Believe me, you can upgrade to walk move faster, take less damage, slower overheating on weapons. Don't believe the reviewers. It seems everyone is trying too hard to hate Konami.
@@RinoDino64 What I mean is, you can upgrade to shoot more, and have it overheat less as you shoot. If you played smash TV, robotron 2084 or Total Carnage and enjoyed those, than you'll enjoy this.
Being 47, I have some familiarity with Contra. All the Contras. And frankly, to use the contemporary parlance that is the lingua franca of the game-reviewing world: “That is one cheap-ass, ugly-looking game.”
People dont like twin stick shooters anymore? Just because it has Contra in the name doesnt mean it has to be 2D. Nostalgia virgins getting triggered lol
That too play big factor part. I talk about top down segments found in Super C, Contra Force, Contra 3 mode 7 basic features, Legacy of War, and Neo Contra.
I dont know if I would compare that game to contra and I mean any contra ever made ... and I'm upset with borderlands 3 not just cause of supmatto or cause 2k is greedy or cause of the epic store bs with fortnite ... all that shit is bs but I am upset with gearbox really cause borderlands 3 is about as shitty as the prequel its not funny like borderland 1 and 2 and the gameplay is not fun so yea I dont really want to play anything gearbox makes I'm pissed at them
I technically hated more when bill and Lance are memorized, PLUS, THESE CHARACTERS IN ROUGE CORPS CANT TAKE ORIGINAL CONTRA'S PLACE, LIKE, WHAT IDEA DID THEY EVEN HAVE, sorry if I was triggered, I was reading the motion comic #2 of this......Not so asthenic game I would ever Love, even though Contra is my Fandom!
Wow such hate for this game! It is not that bad at all and I'm sure if you removed the contra name ppl would have liked it. I love contra always have always will and this version is different for sure. They tried something new and it misses some steps and gets some right jeez.
Well hopefully Konami will learn from their big mistake, and give us a real Contra that we have been waiting for but that probably won't happen if it does it will be while.
The cooldown mechanic isn't nearly the game's biggest issue, the gameplay is AGGRESSIVELY boring, I mean seriously, not for one moment during the three levels I could be bothered to try does this game ever feel even remotely FUN, the character designs are atrocious, the weapons flat and lacking in any feeling of punch, and the upgrade system is baffling to the point of killing any desire to understand it. It's a truly dreadful game.
Silent hill is dead,metal gear is dead,and they fucked up on contra so now thats dead.All konami had to do was make it a sidescroller and make it look fucking better.Like bionic commando rearmed in that style.Konami fucked up again.They might as well just focus on pachinko machines and gtfo of the gaming business altogether.They lost their way.
However, this game should be a Spin off, not a sequel. They should have polished the graphics as well, they need to learn how to make BUDGET games just like Nintendo does.
For me contra only in the title all else fails overheat beyond dumb great review i will not be buying or collecting this game another franchise ruined by dumb choices.
This game A) looks like it was made by a small team looking to cut their teeth on steam. That isn't inherently bad. B)looks and feels like an early ps3 near-freeware. Which is bad, as we're in the late ps4 era. They could've called this Burn Zombie Burn 2: The Lichdom Boogaloo and it wouldn'tve really changed anything other than not pissing off people who have passing knowledge of contra. And C) was cynically made to try to profit off of both konami's last few diehards who know their favorite franchises are being held hostage and fortnite fans. The flashy cartoon shit isn't to stay true to contra. (I'm surprised they actually... Kinda... knew the lore of contra.) It's to get money from the fortnite demographic.
Another big series konami has killed. Metal gear, silent hill and now contra. Im sure there are more .
Dude as a yugioh tcg player I completely agree.
The scary part is that they aren't done defiling MGS' corpse. Konami plans on doing a new game. Smh
Castlevania
I hate pachinko precisely because of Konami.
Just like EA they are killing all their franchises they have in their way
Just being from a top-down perspective, already makes this feel like it's "Contra" only in name.
@MultiTarded Neo Contra doesn't suck.
Neo Contra did it right. This, failed.
@@13Gangland But it's not very Contra either.
I have heard "Contra" more times in this 5 minute review than I ever have in my life previously.
I see that someone wasn't alive for the Reagan administration.
@@lnsflare1 lol right right...😆

last good contra was HARD CORPS UPRISING and dont even have the contra name there...
arc system works need too handle contra again....
God no. They thought a run button in a Contra game was good.
That game literally looks like it was created to be on ps+ in a few months...
4:08-4:17!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank goodness we have Blazing Chrome now

Contra being dead honestly I am not surprised because it’s Konami they aren’t making good games ever more
@Fastest Hedgehog i can understand that
@Trevor Anthony plus, I more hated that Bill and Lance are memorized ;-; it's unfair #BringBillandLanceBack
Theyre so desperate that they hired their own pachinko devs
Looks last gen or maybe even late PS2/Xbox era.
This looks like a poor man's Nex Machina. :/
Got it brand new today for $7 and I'll apply on it one of the most important collecting rules: "If a game is bad, it will sell poorly. And if it sells poorly, there will be only one print. And if there's only one print, it will become rare. Sooner or later". Just ask Rambo for the PS3 :D
I'd be lying if I typed I wasn't expecting this.
😞
R.i.P Contra.
You were great.
But NOT MGS> great!!! 😡
😁
Stay blessed team gamingbolt 🙏
boy this is heartbreaking to hear, it pains me to see yet another classic series killed off with a single poor design choice.
Oh well, the action and thrills live on through games like Cuphead.
And Blazing Chrome, which is a more worthy Contra game than this... "Contra" game...
@@battlion507 Both of you are idiots. Blazing chrome is easy. This game is a real Contra game I terms of difficulty. Neither of you girls are worthy to play the game.
Contra is fun, don't know why it is getting this response. im kinda addicted to it and cant wait to go back to it and level up more weapons
I was thinking the same, because I was watching my brother play it the day he bought it from the PS Store. I thought it looked fun, the graphics are decent in comparison to the old Contras i seen on TH-cam.
the only thing I don't like are timed missions...if they got rid of that I would love it
@@thomashannah6863 Which old Contras?
Nothing will ever live up to Contra Shattered Soldier.
I dint buy the contra collection because SS was not included, if it was I would of got it
Great Contra game with PERFECT control scheme.
4:10 whoa he is mad...
Konami has virtually killed all their franchises. Guess I won't be seeing a follow-up to Rumble Roses anytime soon. 😞
The odd thing with the weapon overheat is to emphasize the weapon change mechanic is it counter intuitive a little but if you master both guns equiped it does keep the pace of contra but the feeling isnt pure contra it feels half contra half old geo wars
We get a trash contra game, but no Silent Hill...
After seeing what Konami has been doing to their franchises, do you really want Konami to make another Silent Hill right now?
Have you play it? Gameplay felt actual fun.
@@SynopsisGrim damn boss... your right.
@@HsienKoMeiLingFormerYANG havent liked contra since hard corps. So this didnt look like fun, but hell who knows.
That's not trash you fucking idiot!

@@13Gangland Never played any of those, but sounds pretty cool.
If you were born in the early to mid 80's, you probably should know all about Contra! If you were into gaming.
Don't worry it will be in the bargain bin pretty soon 😄
$33.00 at Walmart.
Death Dealer Still too much. $5 sounds about right.
Still won't be worth it
@@Ray__E Mom got it for me.
@@thelastdragon5551 Wait a few days.
Contra is not dead unlike your claim.
no surprise that they only recorded footage from the first level.
later levels when you are leveled up are better
@@MistressMary...22-u9j no
How do you think you would've liked Rogue Corps if you never played a Contra game before?
Being 47, I have some familiarity with Contra. All the Contras. And frankly, to use the contemporary parlance that is the lingua franca of the game-reviewing world: “That is one cheap-ass, ugly-looking game.”

Want modern version of CONTRA? Go play it on your Android phone.
Tbh I had wanted a 3rd-person Contra, not this basic isometric mess.
Contra main style all way been isometric.
@@HsienKoMeiLingFormerYANG You mean side-scrolling?
That too play big factor part. I talk about top down segments found in Super C, Contra Force, Contra 3 mode 7 basic features, Legacy of War, and Neo Contra.
This channel and contra have something in common then
Risk of Rain had weapon cooldowns that were well implemented into their high octane alien run and gun shooter, I felt.
I dont know if I would compare that game to contra and I mean any contra ever made ... and I'm upset with borderlands 3 not just cause of supmatto or cause 2k is greedy or cause of the epic store bs with fortnite ... all that shit is bs but I am upset with gearbox really cause borderlands 3 is about as shitty as the prequel its not funny like borderland 1 and 2 and the gameplay is not fun so yea I dont really want to play anything gearbox makes I'm pissed at them
And no I know many disagree that it's not bad but I think everyone agrees with me that bl2 was still better
I technically hated more when bill and Lance are memorized, PLUS, THESE CHARACTERS IN ROUGE CORPS CANT TAKE ORIGINAL CONTRA'S PLACE, LIKE, WHAT IDEA DID THEY EVEN HAVE, sorry if I was triggered, I was reading the motion comic #2 of this......Not so asthenic game I would ever Love, even though Contra is my Fandom!
Why was that guy dressed like Midoriya?
Wow such hate for this game! It is not that bad at all and I'm sure if you removed the contra name ppl would have liked it. I love contra always have always will and this version is different for sure. They tried something new and it misses some steps and gets some right jeez.
I'm still going to play it
@Mikhail Mikhai I agree. I think people just have this expectation when contra was in the title and they just wanted the same ole same ole.
Well hopefully Konami will learn from their big mistake, and give us a real Contra that we have been waiting for but that probably won't happen if it does it will be while.
Contra is NOT FUCKING DEAD!
Dude stop saying contra every 2 to 20 secs dang plus conra sucks then an now love ur vids tho
Contra is dead, long live Contra!
Lol got that reference! XD
Contra is alive you idiot
Playing it right now n the game is Great!! For reviews like this is why some Japanese studios don't give a shit about West market.
Fan's who respect contra should have made this game.
Wow the game has no shortage of flaws but im still enjoying it, ok go on coment section tell me why I need to hate this game
The cooldown mechanic isn't nearly the game's biggest issue, the gameplay is AGGRESSIVELY boring, I mean seriously, not for one moment during the three levels I could be bothered to try does this game ever feel even remotely FUN, the character designs are atrocious, the weapons flat and lacking in any feeling of punch, and the upgrade system is baffling to the point of killing any desire to understand it.
It's a truly dreadful game.
has no one play contra returns on android or ios? get them to make the next home console contra game
What’s the name of this game though?
So this is their metal gear survive..
I think if the gameplay similar neo contra it will be one of the great contra
Great review! keep it up!
Reminds me of the Shadowgrounds games.
All I can say is at least it's not black tiger?!?
Alright meow I see that You super troopers “Contra” in this video and I respect that haha 😂
Does this surprise anybody? It looked like ass from the get go. Shame. Loved contra back in the day.
Must suck to be a virgin like you LOLOL
This is a great game. Screw this guy.
@@G_GO0NO Wow! Soooo funny! Ever think to pursue a career as a loser? You obviously have a knack for it.
@@shreder75 stay mad virgin 😂😅😂
@@G_GO0NO whatever you say, great white dope :)
yea the recharge seems like a dumb idea.
The best contra was contra hard corps for sets genisis
o.o just saw blazing chrome gameplay... yeeeaaa that looks more in the contra spirit!
Contra, more like Cuntra
Silent hill is dead,metal gear is dead,and they fucked up on contra so now thats dead.All konami had to do was make it a sidescroller and make it look fucking better.Like bionic commando rearmed in that style.Konami fucked up again.They might as well just focus on pachinko machines and gtfo of the gaming business altogether.They lost their way.
The boss battles and weapon customization sold me the game. I think it's quite a fun Contra actually.
I think it's not a bad game at all, the Co-Op and the boss battles look really good.
However, this game should be a Spin off, not a sequel. They should have polished the graphics as well, they need to learn how to make BUDGET games just like Nintendo does.
*HUH* NOO
They F'D it up they REALLY F'D IT UP!!!
YOU BASTARDS REALLY F'D CONTRA THIS TIME 😭😖😓
Every review hates this game, good thing I did my research before I bought it blindly
Looks like you move and aim with the same stick. No strafing or backpedaling? Terrible.
Nah, you can. Reviewer is just an idiot.
For me contra only in the title all else fails overheat beyond dumb great review i will not be buying or collecting this game another franchise ruined by dumb choices.
this game is such a pathetic wicked mess and travesty, Konami have no fkn idea what they are doing anymore...
I enjoy the game tbh .

How do you fuck up contra too. I'll just get a Sega mini to scratch that itch 🔚🚶🏿♂️🗑
Damn konami making crappy games left and right.

The game should have been 2d
Looks like a mobile game
Is it worth $8 ? Pass
