Top 5 reasons why Cave is the shittiest shmup company ever and killed the shmup genre:

1. Micro-dodging slow, gaudy bullet curtains is duller than dodging fast bullets from all angles
2. Their scoring is usually contrived, nonsensical and simply anti-fun (e.g. timer-based enemy chaining)
3. Their games suffer from incompetent programming, from sprites disappearing to horrendous, sporadic and inconsistent slowdowns
4. Later on in their existence they started pandering to the otaku crowd to boost sales, when they began injecting pedophillic, tranime and other degenerate crap into their arcade STGs
5. When appealing to otaku subhumans didn't work and their shmups still didn't turn a profit, they resorted to the most cancerous thing about the modern gaming industry (gachashit) as they have absolutely no scruples or standards, and only focus on mobage garbage these days

In summary: Fuck Cave and fuck tranmaku.
