Well... that's a WAY more creative vehicle than the crappy Car-Slug

the sad thing is that MS5 may be dumped :oh_no:

It is slightly depressing that it may be dumped, but if I were to say that I was shocked at all I would be lying to myself.

Nice screenshot :)

a new slug is just a new slug

doesnt make or break the game

i'm amazed the 4 heroes are still the bloody same after 5 sequels...

thing is,i heard slug 5 is only better than slug 4

but miles behind slug 2 / x and 3

who would have thought,eh?

cant wait for slug 6

Yea, probably from a cynic, I hope... :oh_no:

Anyway some people here would complain even if their dream game was released on NEO anyway.

im not much of a slug fan..

ive seen it heaps just been too busy on ss0 and the rest. i wouldnt be able to appraise it well.. dont have a clue about the slugs.

what do you like about rb1? you are more of a graphics/music/characters/bgs man arent you?

rb2 is tight as hell which is what i love about it. great system for challenging too.

I think that it's the fact that RB1 is not as "play as fast as you can with no interludes, winning quotes, victory poses so another random kid put in some quarters" as RB2

anyway... this was about Metal Slug 5 :loco:

MS4 is so boring... I like MS3 more. This MS5 seems better than 4, but only playing I will know for sure...

Beelzebubble, don't you think RB2 have some overpowered characters, like Laurence for example? :spock:

I like the RB trilogy, but like RB and RBS more.

ehehe :) well my favourite RB is special... but well, RB2 is great :) somehow i prefer 10 times Mai in her RBS/RB2 style than kof style.

I remember my old RB on PSX... the intro movie was so nice :)

Haa good old times ...

about this slug... well... it is huge... but i would have prefered to ride a giant snail or something like that ^^

Slug 1 > Slug 3 > Slug 2 > Slug X > Slug 4

I am guessing that I will like 5 better than 3. 3 is good, but too damn long.

I just hope that MS5 don´t have that crappy feeling when you play it.

rb2 is the most balanced.

rb = glitches and super combos
rb spc = yamazaki, sokaku and FUKING KIM who is wayyyyy overpowered
rb2 = one of the tightest fighters out there with powerful characters of course (kim, rick, krauzer etc) but no one too bad

Not when your trying to 1 credit it and you have to play through the first 3 levels over and over and ....

But anyways, I put it second... it is not like it holds it back that much. Sorry for the offensive oppinion :glee:

This is true, but that's an issue with every slug. If you're serious about on crediting you really need a memory card or a debug bios so that you can just work on the end.

:spock:

You sure all 5 sequels have the 4 same heroes? I can't remember Eri and Fio in MS1... Weren't there a new gal and guy in MS4?

:rolleyes:

My Metal Slug order would be: X 3 1 2 4

About Real Bouts, RBS RB RB2

And yes, MS5 has been dumped for a while.

1 is not too bad. I can get to ( well, use to, Last time I tried I only got to level 3 :annoyed: ) Mordien with 1 credit. He took up 2 more. I never found a 100% safe way to kill him that did not become WAY to freaking tedious.

Everytime I try to work on 3 I end up getting side tracked and re evaluating my route and technique. Then on the occasion that I get to the final mission... blah it has taken too long at that point.

hello,my mvs loving friend

of course,in 4 you had nadia and that other idiot

i'm not fucking stupid

the sprites are different yes,but gameplay-wise they're all the same

thats rather tragic in my humble opinion,
specially after 5 sequels

whats the point in having 4 characters if they all share the same weapons,they all jump in the same way,they're all equally fast etc etc etc

it's like making a kof with 84532704 fighters

only to give em the same specials,dms and basic moves

I always thought it would be a good idea to have the girls take one path in the game and the gents take another....

You can't properly compare a fighting game to a shooter. Metal Slug doesn't need different attributes to the characters to be good. The way it controls is perfect as it is and I'm glad they don't touch it.

Yeah, maybe...

But the chars in RB2 are towned down too much... :(

Geese for example. It's a good char, but have only Reppukens, atemi-nages and Super/Potencial Power. It's not to much fun (I'm not saying I like the cheap Geese in RBS :glee: )...
