Story told in its composition.
The plane is like my penis. Battered and beaten. No longer able to take flight. The young girl is my lost love from my youth. She caresses it, she even connects her very body, giving her self to my once throbbing member, but the life is gone and any love now is artificial at best. She kisses it, remembering the excitement that once was. In the desert. Barren. Devoid of life. My penis remains erect but lifeless.

Unironically, this fits perfectly. As the title of the game literally means "A peaceful death" or even a perfect death. Its a loss of vitality.

Male pilots with female support systems, used to perfection then discarded. Its emotional labor, sacrifice and sexual politics. The tools were once full of purpose, but are now left to mourn and remember the chance to connect. Both the male and female were used in war and discarded.

the cover really is a work of art.

Bullet Hell, and a great one at that. The ship on the cover is one of the ship types and the girl is one of the companions that you can choose from. The game's story has a dark tone which this fits with.

Ketsui has a much better TLB that's not just a resource sink. Good luck getting to that though.
Other than that, DOJ is just cooler and more iconic overall, both in gameplay and aesthetics.

Yeah that's one of my favorite things about Ketsui, I hate that so many Cave TLBs are just resource checks that aren't actually intended to be genuinely cleared. Ketsui's is really special, it's hard as nails but it's still actually designed to be played instead of bombed through between two second bursts of panic dodging

DingDongwhatchi?.. just more cookie-cutter, boring "shots-everywhere" junk to BORE me to TEARS, sorry. Last one of these new games I tried was Ikaraga... Sorry! but I learned to play color-matching games when I was two, don't need to do it anymore! Deleted THAT computer application from my Dell desktop after about 20 minutes.

R-Type, Gradius, Darius... those classics are a little more up MY alley. No TINY hitboxes to make the game look harder than it is, no half-naked japanimation cartoon girls, no gimmicky scoring to cover up the total lack of any real substance... just a little thing called good old-fashioned GAMEPLAY that seems to be forgotten nowadays... yep, I love all the super-duper powerups, and checkpoints.. yes recovery is HARD but not IMPOSSIBLE. You actually have to put in a little elbow grease to get your strength back! Something the little ones today could stand to learn from, if you ask me! They seem to want games where you can kill everything on the screen with one button press, right after inserting a coin! Instant gratification with no challenge for the participation-trophy generation. And personally, I usually prefer a "side-view" kind of shooter compared to a "bird's eye view" one, all those obstacles give levels a lot more personality, not such a common thing when every me-too game wants to look and play the same.

Me, I've been playing a lot of R-Type part two lately. I can only clear a couple of boards on my first man right now. I may wear out my joystick before I can manage my one quarter win! But I don't quit! What can I say, I prefer a little hard work to getting a free handout! Playing some Wings of Wor on my Sega too, and Bio-Hazard Battle. Great vintage stuff!

It's more like a problem of him being a LARPer while not fully understanding the context.
Arcade games don't have a save/load system, that's why they are designed to last a small amount of playtime and you have to keep playing the easy stages every run, this isn't really an issue with the "genre" bur rather an actual hardware limitation of its time.
Modern shmups now include training modes, or some form of stage select, although doing a full 1cc is still cool so people enjoy that.

No, there's a fundamental aspect of skill involved - execution, streaming, pattern reading, etc. you're not going to go anywhere in even the most static memoshit like a raiden game by literally memorizing exact positions and movement for each frame

True for black label.
Not really for the OG cause of the slowness and generally harder game where you will get walled by things that require strong laser. Recently I noticed there's an especially shitty spot near the end of stage 5 for Shotia because the fucking zakos get between the enemies you are supposed to laser down, aside from the typical stage 3 bullshit, the cannon, the rails, and bosses obviously.

Black Label does fix this entirely so I'm not sure, A-S does look a lot better in general tho.

>>715393067
With B-L you just accept that after your first death, you will probably bomb your way through. But it's cool because before stage 4 there isn't anything she can't handle, and if you manage to recover on stage 5 somehow, there is still anything she can't handle.

Stage 3 goes well with B-S. The shot clears out the zako well, otherwise you really have to be on point with the routing. You just need like 2 hypers for teh stage and maybe 3 bombs for the boss.

They all have their advantages and disadvantages. I would say Shotia with Type B is the easiest, but even there you have to know when to use bombs effectively and be careful with your slow laser.

You can use Shotia there because they removed/massively reduced the slowdown effect. Type A might still be slightly better than Type B because doing damage quickly is very important in DOJ, you don't have to bomb spam if you can kill the enemies in the first place.
Exy has a much stronger ship especially on Type B, however you will have to manage bombs/hyper.
Leinyan is fun actually but the fun ends at your first death. Still cool for a 1-ALL. Type B is infinitely better here, Type A shot is fucking useless even at max.

Dodonpachi is not that as 99% of bullets shoot towards your direction, it has WAY less RNG bullets than touhou (which is a non-arcade title), and I don't recall instances where it tries to get you caught off-guard unless you memorize it.
CAVE games are highly regarded as the most mistake you make playing it, are mostly your own fault. I won't deny there are coin munchers out there, but people who just suck at these games tend to heavily exaggerate how prevalent they were to cope not being able to 1cc.
DDP were made during the golden-era of arcades where cabinets were constantly competing with each other trying to attract users, shitty games with terrible balance like that easily got labeled as kusoge and got left to sit in a corner collecting dust.

DOJ has does have a hefty amount of RNG, both in stage sections and bosses.
>and I don't recall instances where it tries to get you caught off-guard unless you memorize it.
I can think of stage 2 boss mixups, stage 3 boss "cheese graters" not having the best visibility, the cannon in stage 4 with those massive hitboxes coming down from the top at a decent speed and sometimes walling your path, arguably the first midboss and the entire second half of stage 5.
