    It took like 15 minutes to compile the shaders the first time I launched it,  no crashes though. 

    I didnt even get that far.  It crashed 3 seconds after launching it.  That's a long time compiling shaders.  Only other game I've played that took a long time was TLoU and that took like 30 minutes.  They've cut that down significantly...it takes like 3-5 minutes now. 

     

     

    So I got Horizon 2 installed and wow, its 130gb.  DD2 was 70gb.  Horizon 2 runs fine though.  I hope its not so boring as the first game was at the start.

    So I spent a little over an hour trying to get Dragons Dogma 2 to launch.  It never did.  Would just crash on launch.  I fuckin' refunded that shit.

     

    So instead I'll try out Horizon Forbidden West.

     

    Edit - in a few months or more (once they remove denuvo if they remove it) I'll pirate DD2 and make sure the game will launch before I buy it.  It looks really fun.

    Cuphead is shitty too.  I mean, do you actually play many games in the genre or just the big name ones?

     

    Cuphead isnt shitty but once again its not a great game.  Its just ok.  I cant remember how much that one cost.

     

    Here is a small list of those kinda games.  Right away I see 3 at the top of the list that I think are better than Contra and they were only 20 bucks to start off.

    In conclusion, if you're a Contra fan and know what you're getting with the series, it's a great game. It certainly has a lot of C4 DNA, which is a very good thing. Lots of people are complaining about the price- I don't think those complaints are warranted if you're a fan of the genre. There's a lot to sink your teeth into, and it's very well tuned. Not perfect, but really good, and it shows that way more work went into this than the fan games whiners are pointing out. If $40 is too much, get it on sale. I paid $28, and I'm sure we'll see it for $20 within a few months or so. Who knows when or if we'll get another game like this after the mediocre reviews and kids expecting a 10 hour campaign in a Contra game.

     

    What you dont seem to understand about people not liking the price is that there are games in the same genre that cost half as much (or less) and are far superior.  Just cause it has the name Contra doesn't mean it needs to have a higher price tag.  Its not a bad game but its not a great game and the cost shouldn't be 40 dollars (I know you and me got it on sale and its still on sale).

    Some screenshots of start screen/main menus of games I've recently gotten -

    The only one I've played so far is Windowkill.  Its a neat little shooter game.  The window gets smaller as your playing (its kinda fast) and you have to shoot the edges of the screen to extend the window.  Bosses and mini bosses appear in separate windows, sometimes in multiple windows.  Its neat and fun and worth the 5 bucks. 

     

    Bandle Tale looks cute and fun.  I've never played League of Legends but Ive played like 3 or 4 of these LoL Story games and have enjoyed them. 

    Here is a video -
