Why did you lie to me, /v/? This is the most boring unfun game I have ever played.

I had a very similar experience.
I don't even mind the stage design that much, it's got some decent sections sometimes (although you should set the speed to Turbo to get some challenge out of it), but almost every boss has a move which has it push into you all of a sudden and instakill you if you weren't expecting it or didn't move away fast enough. That's some annoying bullshit.
Crimzon Clover gets much closer to my idea of the best shmup ever.

It's my favorite because of how customizable the loadout is and how cool the weapons are.

Blow it out your ass.

I also take random comments on face value and get mad when they were exaggerating
play eschatos
and kill yourself

The people who like Tyrian don't actually like shooting games. They haven't played any other games in the genre and if they did they'd say they suck.

>>715247612
They do suck.

So what you're saying is
>you're supposed to le turn your brain off bro!!
got it

I wouldn't exactly call Tyrian well-balanced (since there's definitely right and wrong weapon choices), but it's charming as hell with its graphics and music. It is also the only mouse control shmup I was aware of for the longest time. And the coop mode where you have 2 ships that can dock on each other is really neat.

Is this a bot thread or am autist thread?
