Good evening sir, how would you like your shoot'em up?

>> No.5975846 [DELETED] 

Shmups are intended for vertical.

>> No.5975873

Considering I'm not a poseur, I'll get horizontal please.

Vertical is the luxury you received at the arcade.
Horizontal is what you had to settle for at home.

Shmups developers intended them for vertical so I choose vertical.

I like more verticals, but neither is intrinsically better than the other it depends on the actual games themselves. The problem with horizontals is that developers stopped making them too early, so most of them never got to evolve as much as verticals did and you're left with a small handful of good games and a lot of mediocre simple games.

doing a perfect run on the final boss of ikaruga on hard mode is the closest equivalent of an orgasm in a videogame.

Especially if you hold back for the counter to reach 1 for maximum satisfaction.

I enjoy both, but prefer horizontal since Darius Twin is my favourite shmup. Though, Aero Fighters 2 is stellar.

Vertical on a portrait monitor or horizontal on a landscape monitor.
Vertical on a landscape monitor is blasphemy.

I seriously like horizontal much more than vertical because vertical always tends to have abstract aesthetics and, of course, vertical screens. I have a turning monitor and it's still a fucking chore.
