What triggers console warriors on /vr/ about Treasure is that they released exclusive games for certain systems.
That, coupled with hipsters kids from /vg/ who hate Ikaruga because, to their understanding, it's a "normie" game (I think because it was once featured on IGN, and they praised it a lot or something), is a kind of explosive cocktail.

More like its an exploit ridden incoherent mess of a game that doesnt know what its trying to be, like a lot of Treasure games really. It's just throw shit ay the wall : the company. Ironically Ikaruga is a game with a clear vision behind it despite all the shit it gets.

Treasure didn't suffer from consolitis really in the 90's afaik, they just favored gimmicky design over refined design a bit too much. Their games are still fine IMO

Sort of. As I see it them tanking with Spirits Within was what forced the merger, and it's just that Squeenix never ended up being nearly as good.

It would be cooler at a higher frame rate, but take it for what it is and the speed works and makes everything deliberate. I like the way it makes you learn all the weapons strengths and weaknesses and really plan your way through the tournament. Very satisfying game to finally win.

Not him, but game's a goddamn mess visually in both visual language and aesthetics with all that pixelation, jagged scaling, and more subjectively the art. Fixed a bit in the 360 version, but honestly I just don't like how the plane system works and it all feels incredibly chaotic. Maybe mad cuz bad a bit, but there are a lot of games I enjoy losing at.

The first time I saw GH the pixels were jarring, but it quickly grew on me just because of how much fun the game is. I also like the art style though. It's pretty funny to take the characters who can move between planes in the arena and move them super close so there's just 2 or 3 huge pixels on the screen.

The dreaded progress system works well because there isn't really any grinding, it just lets you decide how your character gets more powerful and what play style you want as you go on and it's balanced well with what you fight.

I will say this though, it's way way better in co-op. It feels like a party game.
