Yeah, I agree, Treasure are basically overrated. They're not THAT good. But of all the retro developers Treasure probably had the strongest commitment to hardcore gameplay.

What I don't like about Treasure is their art style. Games like Dynamite Headdy, sure in terms of gameplay they are masterpieces but the art design really hurts me. Gunstar Heroes isn't much better. Alien Soldier is cool but the backstory of that game is complete nonsense. Maybe it was sort of an ironic joke to have such a crazy backstory, because their games don't actually need any story, but it sort of takes away from the polish of the game to have that nonsense. I'd prefer a Mario-like story of "princess is kidnapped, you must rescue her" than the shit that's in Alien Soldier. Aside from all that Ikaruga is a great game, and actually looks beautiful for once, but I don't think it's anywhere near the greatest ever shmup... that is just a sad and sorry meme.

On one hand, you have australia-kun, PAL user who has a huge grudge against Nintendo in general, guy is probably actually mentally challenged and spends a lot of time on /vr/ shitposting endlessly, he's been at it for years.
In his own words, he hates Treasure because they "betrayed" Sega and made games for Nintendo during the 5th gen.
On the other hand you have the /vg/ kids from the shmup general there who love to LARP as elitists who hate anything popular or "normie", and they'll never forget Treasure for making Ikaruga and getting a 9/10 from IGN, making a lot of "normies" get into Ikaruga but ignore other bullet hell developers like Cave.
TL;DR: people are stupid.

I am not OP but i can explain. Every single treasure game since the mega drive days looked compelling at first. Its one of those companies that give you the impression their games are polished and worthwhile. Every single treasure game has been a shallow and unfun experience for me. This stands in a stark contrast to the obscene treasure dick riding that goes on around here. One mans gold is another mans turd i guess.

Pal is dogshit no doubt about it, but the gamecube version has a couple features the recent steam release doesn't have, such as being able to practice individual levels at 1/2 speed, which really helps for working on technique. Perhaps the dreamcast version has that too, but I never imported it, as I received the gamecube version as a gift a few 15?!?! years ago, and never bothered to get it, though I do want to get it at some point.
>>5553859
Also an excellent game, but the simplicity of ikaruga's mechanics make me feel it's more of a masterwork, but they're both at least 9.2/10

You realize that most of the bosses in Bangai-O are a parody, right? Especially the "core" bosses that just stay there until you kill them.
The real boss in bangai-O is getting to the boss, not the boss itself.
Final boss was at least as powerful as Bangai-O so that was a fair fight.

Being a parody doesn't excuse them from being mostly trash.

Anyways, best N64 Treasure game is Mischief Makers. Getting all S ranks in that game is a bitch.

>Being a parody doesn't excuse them from being mostly trash.
I mean, there's one of these "core" in every single level, they could have made a simple goal or level finish line and call it a day. They're there as a comedy thing.
The actual bosses that you have to fight are okay, but the main meat of Bangai-O is making hundreds of enemy missiles and robots explode, not fighting a single enemy.

The /vg/ kids are the other bunch of people that force the anti-treasure stuff, but I think that was just Australia.

It's possible that it's the Australia-kun poser, if he also is stealing the /vg/ memes. Skill elitism was never really part of Auster's shitposting shtick, just an extreme anti-Nintendo and anti-American bias.
