so epic! and they should bring it to consoles with all the characters! it would be easier to adapt than what Blizzard went through to make Diablo III playable on console.

well yea sure the level design is simple but it has more epic replay value than all the previous Contra games.  console version could add local co-op and more features!

Some characters I recognize, but there's others I've never heard of before. They either must be from other titles that came out after Hard corps: Uprising or they were invented for this title.

Nah, this so-called ”Contra” is actually garbage. The gameplay is a far cry from the greatest in the series. You’re not missing out, don’t worry Affinity  ;D

Yeah, I tried it myself when it first came out. Not a fan at all. Hard Corps will still always be #1.

The one official and modern Contra game that never was recognized as such due to poor marketing / naming was Hard Corps : Uprising. It actually shows not only everything a good modern Contra should be, but also in a respect , Castlevania, especially for Level 3.

Why they hell didn't they just call it "Contra" so people knew what the hell it was, bought the game, and then could show that 2.0 and 2.5 D are still viable in todays world?

Stupid Konami.

Maybe Hard Corps: Uprising wasn't called Contra because it is more of a standalone alternate universe entry as it's backstory interferes with what was established in Contra: Shattered Soldier.

Well, using that logic, there never sound have been a second to fifteenth Final Fantasy, given the lack of relationship between pretty much all of the titles.

In general, quite a lot of series have little or no continuity between stories when it comes to sequels. Valkyria Chronicles, Xenoblade, etc. But they all retain their titular namesake to at least give people  a general idea what to expect, and let them know that at least some elements of what fans have come to expect will be present in some form or other.

It was quite honestly a fluke that I found Hard Corps : Uprising and discovered what it really was....

There's no way this is Contra, this looks like something completely different with a remix of the first Contra games 1st stage playing in the background. Sorry, I'll pass.

Looking at the topic title and remembering other threads created by affinity, I would be genuinely interested in seeing what her top 25 favorite video games ever would look like. There has been some very....unusual opinions coming from her in the past. And I’m all for that! Democrazy and freedom of speech! Yay!

Just curious cause it’s all very entertaining and unpredictable  :D

Context is important. When most of the titles in a series do have continuity, there is nothing wrong with singling out a divergent story in this way. I applaud them for letting Hard Corps: Uprising stand on its own merits.

Also, Xenoblade has continuity.

This entry (if it is an entry) seems quite divergent.
Hence my statement about liking Contra 4, which actually feels like a Contra title and includes a lot of goodies for newcomers and old fans, etc.

This entry is... a thing.

Yeah, it's really hard for me to rank Contra 1, 2, 3, and Uprising. Each has their place for me. When you try to quantify them, well ,  nothing would be there without the original, 2 was also a nice improvement, 3 was groundbreaking for the series, and Uprising brought it to further perfection...They all have their unique place in history as well as being my favs--all I know is that Uprising is right up there with the best of them, no question about it.
