I love every single bit of Metal Slug art, but when they make it look this realistic I fucking come buckets.

I played it again today, thinking I might just be a hipster thinking just the first four metal slugs are any good.
Nope. Second boss alone shits the bed so hard.
>>323408841
pretty agreeable tbqh
What would your perfect metal slug reboot be like? Throwback to the old with nods to the old titles (aliens, general morden, train level, etc)? Or a brand new adventure?
>>323410227
Forgot to say. Pic related is an example of a good boss.

In full 3d.
Post YFW you played the final stage of Metal Slug 3 for the first time
>>323410334
I feel like there is no way to do it right. They could copy the style old Metal Slug and feel derivative, or completely change everything and piss people off.
I'd like a new adventure with SNK level pixel art though. But it's be like Mega Man 9 and 10, it just would not work.

The first time I played the final stage was the first time I played MS3, some dude left it on the continue screen, I became obsessed with the game, MSX was bland compared to it.

The shank games are already nice successors, its got silly enemies, nice animations and its very fast too, they play completely differently but they have a similar feel to them.
And theres already a bajillion metal slug games.
So I don't really want them to try at all, I think that its time to put metal slug to bed.

>mecha slug's physical attack doesn't suck balls

Man, we really just need the original nazca back.

I used to be just like you. It seemed impossible at the time but then I kept practicing and seeing how a lot of what I thought was impossible actually gave me a lot of elbow-room to work with.
What I thought was chaotic was actually a bunch of slow moving enemies. time seemed to slow down and I was able to plan out what my strategy was from there.
I only use under 5 continues now, I just have to master the final mission now.

>>323410484
I was annoyed as hell becuase there are way too many shitty shump segments and not enough actual metal slug,
also the clone fights and the final boss are lame as hell, they have one move that you avoid over and over and way too much hp
X >>>>>>>>>> 3 and the final level being stupid garbage is a big part of it
>>323408432
I love it when they have their crazy faces on
>>323412805
Absolutely top level pleb taste on display in this post desu
How do you not like shmups but like Metal Slug?
>>323412805
The shmup sections were fun though (and easy if you've gotten used to dodging things in the game I found) you even upgrade your spaceship if you manage to keep it with you long enough, making the last bits easier.
And the fucking clones were crazy. Having them turn into zombies was even crazier.
I guess you've got a point with Rootmars though. coulda' been cooler, though his reveal was awesome.

this fucking madman
>>323413085
I don't like the movement in shumps and I really like the knife mechanic and subtle bits of enemy design in metal slug
the shump segments fuck with these things and are also just way too fucking long. you go from a super long horizontal shump segment into a short boss into an EVEN LONGER verticle shump segment all in the same level, its way too much
>>323413215
my problem with the zombies is that either they're super easy bullet sponges, or you aren't standing in the exact spot(s) where you can avoid the blood laser and you just eat shit

Suppose so. I agree they should've at least been consistent.
Best way to stay alive would be to either take 'em out quickly, or duck behind those small mounds, you CAN still live.
>>323413514
I thought the zombie stuff was pretty easy to deal with
In stage 2 they only do the gushy attacks that turn you into a zombie while the zombified clones in the final stage have little gaps that are there for the sole purpose of avoiding the blood beams they use
>>323410586
finally, a man with taste
>>323413514
Good response. Fair enough.
I've never played 6
Is the game good? What version is best
>>323410184
Playmore is a company started by the president of SNK.
I can't help but find Tani-Oh cute, even though it's a tank with giant railguns trying to blast you to death.
I think it's because it's "head" follows you wherever you go on the screen.
>>323410365
What bosses in metal slug are unfair?
>>323415674
And all he does is shit on SNK's legacy, yeah.
>>323415736
I can't specifically name any off the top of my head, but I do remember a few of the later games tossed bosses your way that weren't exactly the definition of fun or skilled attack avoidance.
so which emulator should I use to play the franchise?
>>323416102
MAME
>>323416512
this
I want a 2.5d metal slug that uses the camera in a way so when you take a path undergound with your submarine/drill to get secrets, you would still be able to see whats above in the upper path of the level so both paths can interconnect and make a level more complex in the enemy position or something like that, and add a vehicle that can aim at 360 horizontal grades, so you can shoot enemies that are in front of you in the 3-D plane and in the background.

getting errors using mame with missing ROM/CHD. Any help on this?
where do you guys get your roms?coolrom or what?

>>323417608
Emuparadise is best for finding metal slug. Check there
>>323417608
MAME is kind of a bitch, I wish all emulators were as simple as S/NES emulators. Use MAMEUIFX, then you'll need a Neo Geo bios and Metal Slug rom for MAME. Put the Neo Geo and MS3 zip files in the rom directory in the MAME folder.
Open MAMEUIFX and search the games for Metal Slug 3, you should be able to open it if things work.
Press tab while you're in game to configure controls.
There's lots of documentation online if I'm not much help.You could also buy Metal Slug, X, and 3 on Steam. They're just as "not quite right" as playing Metal Slug on MAME.
Is there a proper modern successor to Metal Slug?
>>323418441
No, and I highly doubt there ever will be. Metal Slug gets everything perfect, and interest in it's style of game is so dead now that nobody would even want to attempt to try and top SNK's work on Metal Slug.
>>323418393
I remember when emulating was easy.I used winkawaks way back then.
>>323419753
>winkawaks
Hey it still exists, MAME is just better. But use what works for you.
