What causes this sort of phenomenon? In your personal... "opinion".

OP is a massive faggot

the /v/ on the left hasn't existed in at least 13 years

right after you explain this one

There are no troonhou games in the OP image beitalhoweverthough.

>>716101494 (OP)
replace Schmups with rhythm games

This board has voted time and time again that Ocarina of Time is the best videogame ever made.

Cuphead can stay on the right even though its not what we typically mean, at least its autistic enough fit the box. Replace ikaruga with it and you got the Casual Modern vs Hardcore Classic.

>Ikaruga is as much of a shmup as vampire survivors
Literal mental retard

>>716102175
Why would anyonr hope for the left?

>>716101494 (OP)
That's not grand strategy in your picture.

>>716102424
Ikaruga is so casual every casual braindead idiot who enjoys simple games like Survivors likes it over Cuphead especially because it rewards pacifist mode playthrough, the only difficulty in it is switching to correct color. 2hu on the other hand, fuck this bitch and her ganking from behind attacks.

>genre is built around replaying it over and over a bunch
>all of the genre is also autoscrollers, one of the most anti-replayability things that can be in a game

>>716101494 (OP)
The only man I knew who played shmups transitioned and started going by his league of legends username. So frankly I just assume that's every shmup fan because those games are AIDS.

>>716103564
You can always aim for a higher score retard until you 100%, full clear everything perfectly. It will take thousands of fuckin coins to clear if designed well.

>>716101494 (OP)
Obviously, they want good gameplay.

>>716103564
Autoscrollers are more replayable than most manual scroll games
Go play some shit like Ninja Gaiden on the NES, you are going to be in the exact same position to interact with an enemy every single time, compare that to shmups where you can actually go to different screen positions and focus on different enemies at any point

Should've used an AK47 in the picture. Didn't one troon shooter shoot up a school with one or something?

I don't give a shit about gameplay. I want to look at hot women. Gameplay is, and has always been irrelevant.

>>716101494 (OP)
shmups are only really appealing to people who play for score. The amount of people who enjoy score attacking games is even smaller than the amount of people who enjoy speedrunning games and the latter is already a tiny niche.

>>716103736
Wait, wired internet connections are trans?

>>716104095
SHMUPs are also good for "Gimmick" Runs.
> Do X specific hard thing.
In case you don't know: 1CC clear/1CC No Bombs Clear/Pacifist Run.

>>716101494 (OP)
Its not gameplay first at all though. The gameplay in shmups is complete fucking dogshit and the entire draw of these games is the spectacle of "omg the whole screen is covered in bullets"

>>716104095
Scoring sucks and those who defend it are aspies.

>>716104184
>the entire draw of the games is the spectacle of omg the whole screen is covered in bullets
Only true for troonhou albeit.
>>716104186
>you like thing that I don't like??? You STUUUUUPID fucking chud!!!
This attitude is a sign of autism... BTW

>>716101494 (OP)
said gameplay is shit

>>716101494 (OP)
Go play sports games blud if you want gameplay-first genre i can named another genre-first genre that is not pseudo RPG there other than shmup

>>716104186
Speed runners are the most autistic. Billy Mitchell is an example of a High Scorer (Donkey Kong) vs Karl Jobst (Some no name speedrunner)

words words words
I'm not going to read that.

>>716101494 (OP)
I had Super R-Type growing up. I don't think I ever beat it. But I got pretty far.
I could probably beat it today, because I'm way better now than when I was a child. But I don't like the genre, so I won't.
Still, I liked the red and blue beam. The colors and pattern were satisfying.

>>716103931
I always see them going for the slightly off-kilter but still pretty popular stuff. Exactly the kind of stuff a guy with autism about the topic would hone in on, basically.

>>716105161
The gun in your image is in no way popular at all its mostly just some niché among some FPS gamers not in real life. It would be better to use something like AK47 or AR-15 to trigger people harder.

go play mars matrix

>>716103486
I know you're baiting, but I'm pretty sure Ikaruga get's a lot deeper when you start scoring

>>716101494 (OP)
Gameplay first =! Good gameplay first

>>716101494 (OP)
Because they are losers who call games shitty if they lose.
