ZeroTolerance Writes: “Punishing” is the word I would use to best describe my experience with Hard Corps: Uprising. For most of my time spent with the game, I was constantly led back to a distant checkpoint to be ridiculed about my inadequacies. This game is tough, and not always in the sense of memorization or determination. You will die over and over and over again, which is fine for those that prefer a challenge but, at times, Uprising feels almost like it is trying too hard to appeal to the super hardcore Contra fans.
Contra has been missing in action for quite sometime now, and with the current trend of next gen reboots/remakes/re-imaginings, it would be a perfect series to revive. David
Ugh, we need another Contra and need one now. One of gaming's most important series right here.
Conversations this week revolve around Phil Fish leaving gaming and cancelling Fez 2, a Contra game you probably have never heard of and Zach Braff hate-speak. Despite our best efforts the show somehow spirals back into a discussion about GTA V.
4 bosses in the first stage?! Definitely sounds like Contra ;)Can't wait to check out Hard Corps: Uprising!
You could be the ultimate gaming dynamo and these games are likely to send you crying and hurling your controller at the wall.
Demon's Souls is the toughest I played on PS3. Awesome game btw.
Call of duty games? Haha! Absolutely not, WAW is the exception but the others (namely the latest ones) were easy on Vet. I should also add COD4 to the hard list, the last level has become fairly infamous to completionists and trophy hunters.
Demon's Souls was not too hard for me. Maybe because I chose magic, but for the majority of the game I was careful.
Killzone 2 on Elite difficulty, oh boy the last level before you face Colonel Radec.
Edit - and ofc Demon's Souls, but at the same time so great and rewarding!
No disrespect to author, but it's too bad he's not that good in these kind of games. Maybe he should play something a little bit more casual.
OK. I can see the side of this that says that harsh is not the same as poor. I happen to agree with the reviewer. You don't. Fine. It's a review which, by definition, is an opinion.
I still take issue with the OP's assertion that it's either this or casual games. That's not a critical response to the review. It's just trolling and being a jerk.
