Yo is it me or does the train have more health in 2 then in X? I have a hard time telling the difference but it always feels harder when I get here in 2.

Well there's the slowdown so maybe it's your imagination, but they did tweak difficulty here and there

Absolutely incapable of contributing anything. If you disagre, post difficulty spikes in other games. You won't though, because you're too afraid of being criticized.

Metal Slug isn't even hard unless you're a poorfag. Just add more coins. I beat it the first time I ever played it.

Dimahoo stage 4, feels like a cave early second loop stage while the 3 previous stages are piss easy. kinda logical considering how generous and rewarding scoring-wise the 4th stage is.

Down the Tubes, although it's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be, and Snot a Problem is possibly even worse

Although I thought the boss' difficulty was incredibly overrated. A bunch of people somehow didn't know how to revive their own characters at that point in the game.

It always felt to me like a difficult spike the 5th stage of Shadow of the Ninja. I mean, it's the last stage and all, but... Holy shit, in comparison to the earlier...

I have really hard love/hate relationship with ep4 in general. Shit is almost the most painful experience ive ever had in the gaming in general, but its so memorable and intense at the same time. Love the visual too.

for me, its Noiman Cascade in Hard Corps. You fight him in the 3rd level and he has 6 forms and until you know the pattern for each one, your probably going to get it hit and lose your weapon, add to this that the US version removed the lifebar.

>> No.5567276

dodonpachi's 3rd stage and after that the game becomes super hard, but as i have noticed its almost all shoot em ups. the first two stages are a breeze but than 3rd stage rape your ass. only games i have played where this didnt happen were 19xx, sonic wings 1, and giga wings

It's like that by design, they want shitters to have their guaranteed minimum 10 minutes of playtime before it gets serious

>> No.5567303

>>5567294
yeah, it gets pretty obvious, and its probably a common practice found in lot of shoot em ups, make them super pretty and hard after 1 or 2 stages. but despite all this, in our arcades run and guns and fighting games were still most popular and hardly and these kind of games were hardly played, these games despite going out of their way to attract people were still unpopular and niche even in old times.

>> No.5567327

>>5567303
Yeah fighting games dominated everywhere and still do, run n guns though they're more dead than shmups because they never had that kind of dedicated fanbase. Shmups did quite in spite of a lack of popularity

It wasn't exactly "nowhere" (it's 5th stage and it's Metal Slug, what the fuck you were expecting? it's part of the franchise to make 5th level considerably harder), but I agree - the subway section was ridiculously high, especially with those fucking copters
