How's everyone on the DLC front? The latest games I bought were Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Bionic Commando Rearmed 2, and [Contra meets Blazblue and Guilty Gear] Hard Corps: Uprising.
Although I was one of the few who didn't like River City Ransom and its "buy and hope you get what you need" system from the game's vendors. I haven't seen any mentions on how long you stagger after being hit by an enemy in the game, nearly guaranteeing they'll do a full combo on you while you sit there drooling at the thought of retaliation.
Also the game makes you feel like a pinball at times with all the weapons and shit being tossed all over the screen. I do like the pixel cartoonish graphics though, however I've never read the manga and don't intend to see the movie.
Bionic Commando Rearmed 2... Umm I think this game was
only to satisfy the cryfucks who wouldn't stop bitching about the fact you couldn't jump in the first. But hey this works, I just jump all over the place.
Of course there's an achievement rewarded to you if you don't jump even once throughout the entire game. I don't give a shit about achievements though.
As for the maps... they just go all over the place and it's a pain to look for upgrades, also the cheap deaths are out of control, usually as a result of the poor map design. The game desperately needs a function to bind the right stick to a camera for looking around your general area.
Finally Hard Corps: Uprising...

Ok well uhh our vocabulary is far too limited to describe how insanely difficult this game is... My memorization isn't quite up to par to help survive in levels like the highway stage and a certain boss fight where you're climbing up falling debris, suffering the definition of cheap deaths constantly to kill the asshole. But it's a good game though despite all that.
The "Rising" mode has a nice level-up system and I've been playing much longer than I did with Contra 4 (which I gladly rid myself of) as a result of it. Also, you have a life bar yet still lose your current weapon when getting hit. So that's a little frustrating. I haven't tried arcade mode and probably won't. Plus there's a DLC character which reminds me of Zero or Strider that I want to try to level...
My advice, find a good spot for "farming" points, map the shoot function to either of the shoulder buttons and slap an elastic [or in my case, a Wiimote strap] onto the trigger and go grab a bite to eat.
Now then, where's my medication... *twitch twitch* ...
