Anyone who played and enjoyed the original Contra back in the ‘80s can attest to the satisfaction that the game brought. Despite its brutal difficulty, which forced players to memorize enemy patterns and rely on near-perfect twitch reflexes, the Contra series was a pure joy. Hard Corps: Uprising, the latest game in the long-running shoot ‘em up series, features a new look and the same great gameplay that Contra has been known for all these years. That said, you’ll probably only enjoy it if you like sadistic games that don’t go easy on you.
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
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.
Wipeout is tough to Platinum. Socom Confrontation was another without grinding.
@Bordel, im still stuck on the first level of Demon Souls and I still love it.
I'm still working on my Confrontation Platinum. Just need a few more rounds won by extraction on Escort and hostage extracts. It's ridiculously hard do get this trophy without cheating (getting your clan on alts to help boost those stats).
I feel it is a worthy game though, I only plat games I love.
1. Demon's Souls
2. Dark Souls
3. Confrontation (TBA)
I'd actually stick ninja gaiden sigma 1 ahead of demon's souls. I found that game much harder than DS. I never beat it. Well, I would have if my save hadn't bugged, but that's not the point.
Mine would actually be any of the GoWs. Button mashers are my downfall. There's not a snowball's chance in Hades I'll platinum a GoW. Getting a platinum on Demon's Souls was relatively easy, for me. I'm better at that type of gameplay.
demon souls.... i died aleast 10 times with the first monster
it took me while untill i knew how to play it
killzone 2/3 on Elite difficulty
uncharted 2/3 on Crashing difficulty
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.
I stopped buying COD after BLOPS but both BLOPS and MW2 were only slightly more difficult that regular difficulty. I think I finished each on veteran in under 6 hours. WaW is a different story, at times it was like I was being carpet bombed with grenades.
Yeah a game can't be hard if, on default, it allows you to snap to an enemy's head via auto-aim.
Demon's souls is an easy plat. You can do it in under 100 hours if you know what you're doing. Try platting SOCOM: confrontation. I didn't even get one of those.
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!
... very colorful and anime-inspired...
... but I didn't like the controls, and I would have preferred 360 degree shooting with the right analogue stick, like Shadow Complex.
I don't care much about the DLC-milking either btw, which is the reason why I won't be buying it.
Never heard of the game before...but looks pretty intersting
I quite enjoyed it. I kind of have to disagree with the Shadow Complex controls though. It's a Contra game and should play like classic contra games plain and simple. I understand why you'd want that though, but, then it wouldn't feel like contra to have that kind of control scheme.
If I had to rank the characters they'd be:
Sayuri
Bahamut/Leviathon
Krystal
then dead last would be Harley.
