Thread 714171187

Anon, why don’t you play shmups? I thought you said you were skilled at video games?

>/v/
>skilled at video games
Was that ever the case? "Our" biggest achievement was beating some reddittors.

Most shmup fans are scalpers looking to offload their garbage
The rest are just mongoloids who want to talk about how much they love shmups instead of playing them
Radiant Silvergun is dogshit btw

>>714171187 (OP)
i just don't really care for this genre.

>>714172137
But you play so many other boring games with shooting! Wouldn’t you like a game where shooting bullets was exciting and tense for once?

I wonder why more shmups don't get converted into action shooters or flight sim-style. I'd like to actually fly some of these around.

>>714171187 (OP)
But I do

I enjoy shmups but I'm so fucking shit at them.

>>714174818
This. I will play the occasional shmup but I am very casual and usually don't get past the first few stages. The only ones I've finished (that I can remember offhand) also happen to have very, very good music (UN Squadron and ZeroRanger).
>>714172459
nta but I don't play many FPS, if any

I didn't check the catalogue before making a thread. Fuck me.
>>714175343
Ignore my thread, let's post here.

>>714175462
>why is it so hard to get extends?
Psikyo games are like that, just a single extend and that's it. At least you get to have a bomb on every stage
>Sometimes the bosses would fire ultra fast bullets that are really fucking hard to dodge
And more batshit insane on second loop. The only thing left to do is to memo, because reaction dodging is not so reliable.

Where are you playing strikers? Steam port or Emulation?

>>714171187 (OP)
They are both antiquated and obsolete when you consider 3D bullet hell exists already in games like Nier Automata.

>>714176726
>Steam port or Emulation?
Steam port

>>714175462
Hey faggot why are you acting like you’re the OP?

>>714177253
why do you care? You want me to bump the other thread so this thin shmup population on /v/ gets diluted further?

Let's get this out of the way.

Psikyo wants you to hard memo instead of reading and reacting. It's a bit of a double-edged sword though, because once you know how to dodge these fast spreads you will just do it easily every time without thinking about it.
Hitboxes aren't the entire sprite usually but bigger than something like danmaku games.

>>714171187 (OP)
i play.

>Anon, why don’t you play shmups?
Because I'm not trans

>>714177789
Your thread was made after this one and has no replies.

>>714176746
Pretty dumb, 3D shmups are their own thing, and Nier Automata is a casual console game instead of an arcady one.

>>714176746
I hope nobody copies automata because that game fucking sucked.

>>714171187 (OP)
This game is goddamned cinema, just beat it 2P with a cousin last year, we weren't ready for that whole final act.

>>714178310
>no Mushihimesama
>no Under Defeat
>no Aleste collection
>no Psikyo game
*sigh*

>>714179585
that's an outdated image. Either way I got those games PC since I wasn't home and I wanted to play them. I do own Physical Under Defeat and Mushi tho.

>>714179753
Well, you should try the Aleste Collection. It's fun.

>>714178310
>For your final challenge, fellow shmup collector, you must complete each one of the shmups you have.

>>714179904
It's on my list of "need to play" next games along with a few others. Like I still haven't played GunVein for some unknown reason. Recently I've been getting into Hellsinker

Okay niggas, you either prove me that actually engaging shmups with fun progression without le gain-999999999-score-on-lunatic-to-beat-true-last-boss exist, or I claim your genre is useless shit of a horse.

>>714180735
Maybe the genre isn't for you

>>714180735
Just leave.

>>714180992
>>714181270

Your genre is horseshit with no use

>>714181514
ok

>>714181514
Skill issue

>>714171187 (OP)
I do play shmups, but I'm still learning them, so my runs are basically all survival and not score based
>>714178310
Is Triggerheart Exelica any good?

>>714178310
>>714182696
nvm i saw the steam page and now I'm completely disinterested. just gonna stick to esperade, angel at dusk, and ddp dfk

>>714180735
if you're neither interested in the artistic merit (music, art, spectacle) nor scoring (aka the meat of the genre), then you're not the intended audience, simple as

>>714174818
Same

>Is Triggerheart Exelica any good?
Yeah, it's pretty good. Enhanced if just the Switch version I believe, you could wait for that since it's coming out soon

>>714171187 (OP)
I haven't played this game in literal months, then I played it ONCE a few days ago and got a 1CC for the first time ever. "1CCs require skill" my ass. We all know it's more like random bullshit where you just happen to get lucky one day.

>>714185463
Sounds like you have played it before though, what's the issue here? Although yeah 1ccs require both practice and an attempt where enough stuff goes your way

I've played a ton of Blue Revolver this week. Been enjoying a bit of Batrider and Cotton Rock n Roll as well
