/vr/ - Retro Games

genre autists are the worst, especially because they think they're discussing something deep in regards to game design or whatever but they're actually just discussing semantics

Is Killer7 a shmup?

>>4632506
What a retarded argument. I don't remember there being space ship armadas and laser upgrades in Killer7, friendo.

>>4632491
It's a Zaxxon-like you imbecile

>>4632531
>-like

>>4632509
>video game genres are defined by superficial ephemera rather than gameplay elements
okay

Starfox is a rail shooter.

>>4632569
Except it has neither "superficial ephemera" nor gameplay elements in common with shmups. Try again.

>>4632569
Look at YOU... Using big words n' sheit. Can I suck your dick?

>>4632491
>Genre wars aren't autistic and retarded

>>4632570
>rail shooter
By definition, you can't move in rail shooters. Star Fox is a Cabal-like.

Star Fox is a Yiff & Biff.

>>4632491
Of course not, you're not shooting upwards. Starfox is a shmin.

Same as Gradius is not a shmup, it's a shmideways.

>>4632491
I will never understand why /vr/ goes out of It's way to confuse genres.

whatever it is, space harrier is better.

Starfox may not be a shmup, a term usually reserved for flat-plane games, but starfox is definitely a shoot em up.

No, they're not synonyms unless you are autistic and robotically use the english language.

"Starfox isn't a shoot em up!" Uh, literally all you do in the game is shoot stuff up. It's a shoot em up.

"It's on rails!" Nope, scrolling plane. Different type of game.

"But in this one wikipedia reference it shows that--" OK thats nice

>>4633787
what you're arguing is dumb because virtua cop, doom, contra and even megaman fit there

>>4633809
are you mentally deranged?
doom you have complete control over your movement if you didn't know.
contra you have complete control over your movement if you didn't know.
megaman you have complete control over your movement if you didn't know.
you seriously don't understand that house of the dead doesn't fit into the same genre as these games? when you see house of the dead gameplay, does your brain comprehend that the gameplay is different, at all? really amazing the stupidity in this board.

when you're on a rail, you can't move away from the rail. in star fox, mega man, whatever, your character is not restricted to a rail. DUH. you fucking dumbshits lmao

>>4633828

>>4633847

>>4633828
Turn-based point and click'em up

>>4633787

>>4633740
Underrated

>>4632491
if you have to shoot the enemies up, it's a FUCKIN' shoot' em up
megaman is a shoot 'em up too

>>4633752
Not a fair fight, Space Harrier is better than everything.

>>4633901
lmao fag

>>4633787
>scrolling plane
Proof that Star Fox is a belt scroller

>>4632491
I play many shmups and I can tell you it isn't. Also Nintendo games are all trash.

>>4632491

it's a 3D arcade shooter

>>4634172
>Not a fair fight, Space Harrier is better than everything.
No shit, it's a Sega game after all.

>>4634257
