>>5881904
Shmups are top tier but Progear is cancer

>>5881924

Playing a port can be comfy but the real deal can't be beaten imo

played gunbird 2 last night, really beautiful graphics, awesome soundtrack and crazy difficulty. would recommend

Is there anything with the dark aesthetics of DDPDOJ but without the insanity of the bullets and chaining?

Remember, it's not a proper shmup if there are no obstacles other than bullets. Then it's just a bullet hell.

>>5882096
So Daioujou = bullet hell
Daifukkatsu = shmup
Tatsujin = bullet hell
Deathsmiles = shmup

>>5882086
Metal black.
Very awesome underrated game.

>>5882116
Lasers count as bullets

>>5881924
OP said your type aren't allowed here

>>5882168
Don't the cannons themselves have hitboxes

>>5882086
The closest game aesthetically is Mars Matrix but it has lots of bullets and chaining too

>>5881904
Same

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Galaga is the greatest video game, period.

>>5881328
FUCK JARPIGS

slightly OT maybe but I'm looking for a DOS Shmup, maybe 1993-95-ish, vertical scrolling with a weird T-shaped player ship. Can't remember the name.

>>5886263
I'll give you a curiosity bump.

>>5886263
chorensha?

is ourboy kraut still alive?

>>5888628
No, but thanks. Cho Ren Sha originated on the X68k, the Windows port is from 2001.

The ship in that game had a distinctive T-shape. It was probably done by Euros. I don't think it ranked very high with magazines when it came out. I think you had one single live for the entire game, but that could be a mistake.

Galaxian's better

Gross.

I just watched some guys 2-all of dodonpachi and he said it took him over 1000 hours of practice to grt it. I feel really discouraged now. I'd like to get into shmups and I've been playing dodonpachi but if its going to take 1000 hours to beat one game, I feel like I should spend that time on a real skill or something worthwhile.

Does it really take this long to beat a shmup, or is this guy just a slow player?

>>5889590
He was probably doing some scoring but it's common to see 500+ hours for a hard 2-ALL. It's not a goal you should aim for if you're just getting into the genre, it's something you do when you already find a game you love and want to play it more. Go for basic 1-ALL clears, or play 1 loop games, most Cave 1-ALL's are doable in under 50 hours. Not all 2-ALLs are equal either, there are easy ones you can get in under 20 hours like Sengoku Ace.

>>5889590

CAVE 2-alls are some of the hardest things you can accomplish in a video game, period. Comparing them to normal shmup clears isn't really fair. It's like learning Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata; most pianists aren't ever going to be at that level, and it takes a seriously dedicated person to get there.

For most games, getting a single loop 1cc is doable with some practice. Play a game you like, practice the bits that you die a lot on, and that sweet 1cc should come.

>>5889608

Thanks guys! I'll go for the 1-ALL, and leave the 2-ALL for more dedicated players.

>>5889590
Scoring is more fun than survival anyway, and you can get a really high score without getting a 2-ALL. Seriously, many high score runs don't even beat the TLB.

Finally beat this fucker.

I’m sure the die hards will laugh at me. Standard game settings. 3 lives, 3 continues. Down to last life when I won.

Felt so good bros.

>Does it really take this long to beat a shmup, or is this guy just a slow player?

depends on talent desu and approach.

This game (radirgy) has special charm

>>5881328
Behold, a shmup!

Is Radiant Silvergun really that complicated? It looks great and I like the few stages I've played

>>5881328

boners!

anyone tate with a g-sync monitor? or what do you prefer?

X68000 Bosconian. Best version of the game.

>>5890543
