/vr/ - Retro Games

Shmupshmucks are too low-IQ to grasp Treasure's ingenius scoring systems and game design so they fellate Caveshit, Raizingshit, and other bog standard shmups that are more pleb-friendly.

Never 1CC'd it on normal. I could get to the final boss, but I wasn't good enough at leveling up my weapons so I just had to survive the fight until the time ran out. Couldn't beat him without dying. I should come back to it someday I guess.

>>5300212
Xiga really was a bit of a pain in the ass, had to leave my 460 on for almost a whole day untill i managed to beat him (Luckily it was a slim so it didn't overheat)

What can I tell you that hasn't been said already a million times? I own two Saturn copies, the STV cartridge and a signed soundtrack. I'd love to see a re-release with lots of extras - on PC for example. It's a well made game with lots of though and heart put into it and I enjoy it more than its spiritual successor. It's a good shooting game, but probably not for everyone.

Are you good at the game?

>>5300292
what else would it be?

Is there something worse than jarpigs who constantly argue about which Homo Fantasy is better?
Oh yeah, shmcucks who LARP as hardcore gamers but actually abuse save states all the time.

>>5300196
Vast majority of people into shmups are twitch dodging shitplayers. Treasure games actually require memorization beyond simply knowing when to bomb.

>>5300347
That's just an old school shmup thing, perhaps you mean that most people into shmups these days prefer bullet hell

>>5300196
No waifus or cave bullet patterns in it so idiots dont like it.

>>5300353
No, I mean most people can't play for shit. Ikaruga is also bullethell in a way, but it's actually difficult to play.
Guwange is also cave bullethell and barely anyone can even play it. All they can is just twitch dodge and bomb their way through.

>>5300369
I see

>>5300364
>no waifus
*clears throat*

>>5300369
Yeah I mean people do totally twitch dodge and bomb their way through R-Type
gtfo Kraut

>>5300386
Where did I ever say r-type was difficult? A 1-all in r-type is relatively easy. Get a fucking brain subhuman.

how many fucking shmup threads do we need?

>>5300391
Enough to kill /vr/ with this pointless jarpig vs shmuck war.

>>5300391
Now you know what it feels to browse a board with eight million Final Fantasy threads, except that's been a thing for years and not an exception

>>5300395
huh? who gives a shit about ff anymore?

>>5300390
It's easy but memo-based, you can't twitch your way through R-Type, and I've seen noobies playing those games recently on /vr/. Basically, you're wrong

>>5300390
He's saying people play R-Type and R-Type takes memorization rather than just twitch dodging and bombing.

>>5300397
huh? all shmups require memorization. No one is dodging shit from reflexes, they're basically puzzle games.

>>5300397
>>5300398

Again, r-type is easy peay. It's a memorizer, yes, but a fucking easy one for a 1-all.

>>5300403

not true, i blind 1cc'd cho aniki for ps2 on my first try

>>5300336
Moderately. Arcade version only because Saturn mode is too long to keep my state of zen up.

>>5300410
He should have said most, and then memorization requirements and styles difer quite a bit between games

>>5300403
puzzle + real time execution, at least

>>5300403
Cave games usually have many modes which are so easy you can just dodge almost everything on reflexes. Same goes for touhou games, etc

>>5300427
well yeah raiden 3 has a mode where they don't fire bullets at all.

>>5300429
yea, for example
there are many shmups which have pretty damn easy modes, or easy first loops, and treasure games are certainly not that kind of shmup

rsg and ikaruga only become really fun when you actually start scoring, and this is wway beyond the usual twitch dodge 1cc

>>5300395
shmupfags hate jarpigs because jarpigs are feelfags and shmupfags are autistic

fighting game players are the real chads

>>5300403
Of course. I'm just trying to clarify why the guy said R-Type.
>>5300406
True.

>>5300196
'cuz it's hard as balls and most of us here are scrubs. Also Ikaruga and Gradius V are better.

>>5300196
*beautiful, dumbass.

>>5300859
>most of us here are scrubs.
I love honest /vr/ posters

>>5300859

>>5300859
>Also Ikaruga and Gradius V are better.
Disagree. Ikaruga has shit bosses compared to RSG, and V takes too long to loop (also no moais; wtf trashure).

>>5302275

>>5302275
>Ikaruga has shit bosses compared to RSG
RSG is the game with shit bosses. They just look like blocks and milking them is boring as fuck.

RSG is Ikaruga for kusoplayers

>>5302437
>RSG is the game with shit bosses.
Keep telling yourself that, baka.
