Go play Mars Matrix.

Lets start this thread off right.

>Chaining in DDP/Mars Matrix/Ikaruga/Radiant Silvergun though is just plain garbage. It is far too strict and boils down the scoring system to an extreme level of memorization involving frustrating restarts whenever you get even the slightest thing wrong.

I feel like one of these mechanics just isn't for you. Highly skilled chaining systems that demand alot from the player might be one of them.

Also, here is a helpful general rule of thumb when talking about scoring: Don't bitch about it unless you can actually clear the game in question.

Can anyone recommend some shmups where things explode into huge screen-filling points items that shower you in a bukkake of score?

Its *really* satisfying and I want more.
