I like to shoot stuff

>>6642265
So do I but I can't because they won't let me have my ROMs ;_;

[ELLIPSE No.]

>YOU WANT SHOOT STUFF? FUCK YOU, RANK UP.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

I occasionally like to *not* shoot stuff and just dodge.

[Anonymous No.]

At least start a discussion on something original.

This thread reminds me I have to hook up my PS2 somewhere and start playing R-Type Final. I've been postponing it for five years.

Like Tohoo amirite?

[ELLIPSE No.]

I occasionally like to sit back, jack up the volume, and FREE RANGE.

Gradius V was here, R-Type Final is a los--...

Fuck.
Even I can't tell a lie that big.

Never realized just how much that looks like the Zetaplus waverider mode.

Best game ever, RS1 was pretty good too.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>RS
Haven't played it, because I'm a purist who prefers console shooters to be on a console. My loss, I know. I'm too poor to afford it.
Knew I should've not wasted my money on Princess Crown, Princess Maker 2 and Sentimental Graffiti...

[ELLIPSE No.]

>>6642300
I don't get it.

I heard Final was kinda meh for a followup to Delta...

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>>6642331
Gameplay itself wasn't as strong as I COULDV'E been, but the massive variety of ships and bits meant there was a FUCKTON of replay value. I still haven't unlocked every ship, and I've had the game for years.

[ELLIPSE No.]

>>6642329
I'm guessing emulation's out of the question?

I've been able to get the SSF Saturn emulator running, and it manages to hold together pretty well in that emulator, though with a bit of slowdown and the voicework magically disappearing.

It's still a damn fun game, and complements Ikaruga's minimalism pretty well...

Hard copy RadSil/Ika compilation set when, Treasure?
You've ported both games to XBL (or still working on porting RadSil, fuck I've been out of the loop...), there's nothing keeping you from whoring yourselves out just a little bit more...

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>>6642341
I've got a perfectly good fully tricked out Japanese Saturn that already doesn't get enough love as-is. Emulating Saturn games would be like cheating on my wife.

[Anonymous No.]

Final is not that good. Lots of slowdown, and the unlocking the 6000 ships is tedious. Also, no real music, only ambient stuff, which I hate

[ELLIPSE No.]

>>6642337
Replay is awesome, especially for shooters.

I still want to finish Delta up, though. Managed to finally get through the second stage, only to find out that stage 3 is just one long troll session.

Speaking of TONS OF REPLAY, I regret resetting Space Invaders Infinity Gene on my iPod. You'll start to appreciate unlocking 4 revisions worth of content once you've gone from "grinding to get it all" to "OH FUCK WHY DOES THIS GAME HAVE SO MANY UNLOCKABLES GOD DAMN."

Bonus stages everywhere!

>>6642377
Oh...
...Good luck then.

YOU SHOULD PLAY THUNDERFORCE V.
IT'S AWESOME.

There was a nice batch of awesome pseudo-3D/2,5D shooters during the Saturn/Playstation years... so many of then had relatively lackluster followups, though...

A shame too.
I'll never see a Thunder Force 7.
Feels bad...

>Emulating Saturn games would be like cheating on my wife.
I read this analogy not long ago.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>>6642413
I've played some of the Thunderforce Series, V is woefully abesnt from my list, though.

Einhander on the PS was cool.

Fantastic Saturn/PS Shmup - Darius gaiden
Followup game -
MOTHERFUCKING G-DARIUS. PLAY IT. LOVE IT. LIVE IT.

Another GREAT Shmup console was the NEC PC-Engine. Which also has the superior version Dracula X Rondo of Blood on it.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

> something original.
Try Sylvarion on for size.

[ELLIPSE No.]

>>6642455
I played Burst before heavily checking out Gaiden and G.

Probably the smartest thing I've ever done.

Burst is a pretty fun game, but that's pretty much true for almost every other entry as well...

Gaiden is what happens when you serious the fuck up when making games.

G?

THE MOST INSANE DARIUS GAME EVER MADE.

Those two will completely spoil your expectations for Darius games, because honestly the rest of the franchise was fun yet nothing exceptional.

[Anonymous No.]

Shit, just remembered how good the soundtracks for Garegga and Batrider sound.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>>6642479
That feel of absorbing boss beta beam with your Alpha, leading to ultimate destruction. My god, me and my old roommate woke up the whole damn neighborhood the first time we pulled that off 2P.
PSP burst interests me, but not as much as the Arcade machine. Pic very related.

Darius Arcade multi-monitor machines are what makes Darius in the arcade vastly superior to home versions. Even the comparatively ho-hum first two darius games are made awesome by being able to both see and shoot two screens ahead.

You mean burn game to CD and play?

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>>6642543
I imagine it'll be quite a bit more complicated than that, but effectively, yes. DC was the home NAOMI system, after all.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6642505
Who the hell doesn't have a PS2 though? You can find Psyvariar 1&2 for dirt cheap on it (or pirate it).
Amazing soundtrack too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFIU-MtnCdU (the bassline sounds like a Squarepusher track)

I was under the impression Psyvariar didn't fit on a CD. BRB, burning disc.

Don't start comparing ZUNTATA songs.
We'll never see the end of it.

Not Darius related related but the best videogame song ever made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NteidGHXV7U

True...

4 player madness. Now all we need to do is port back to the PSP and/or home consoles, and run rampant over netplay or something.

Burst was a pretty good game. Nothing too outstanding, but I'll have fond memories of clearing the game.

Burst mode, ending on Zone H. Barely manage to not get raped during the final stretch, stage bgm is "World of Spirit," and HOLY SHIT DAT MUSIC when you reach the boss. The entire stage's bgm is just World of Spirit, and it kicks right into an epic bit during the boss fight.

Some people think that Zuntata's work in that game was relatively lackluster....

Seriously, people underestimate the sort of impact that you can get when you have synergy between the game and the music. It was beautiful.

And then of course you deplete your ARMor, and hit some random fish head on, but IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

Too bad I'll never understand what the fuck is happening in the endings...

The fact that you can play PSX games on the PSP (easier once hacked, of course) makes the device pretty much god tier for on the go STG playing, by the way...

Someday i'll 1cc a Darius game. Currently can't beat G without wasting like $20 in credits.

Maybe the stage 1 bgm...

The rest of it, much like the game itself, is regrettably forgettable in my opinion.

I didn't really enjoy Mars Matrix.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6643709
I kind of enjoy the stage 2 music. But it's pretty terrible overall.
What really baffles me is how they made the normal shot totally useless. What were they thinking?
