Not a whole lot. Dreamcast came out at the time tranmaku was the big thing, which doesn't leave much for us Dad players. Wish Konami had ported Gradius IV to the system.

Tranny + danmaku (bullet hell). It's a reference to how many trannies are into that sub-genre, they love crap like Touhou and Doodoopeepee.

they like wanking to the characters and listening to the music (in arranged form) but not playing the games, to be fair
maybe they'll play easy/novice in-between their long rpg sessions, but they're more likely to seek attention in the "community" and look for people to ban

Why are shmup threads always filled with schitzo posters?

[Anonymous No.7413932]

>>7411276
desu a lot of the times I adjust to it. Even games like Gunbird 2 which some folks have complained about I feel like it plays pretty naturally.

maybe 5 frames depending on the game? I think the shmup junkie made a video about it if you're into that.

Almost every shooter on the DC (up to Karous) is a winner in my book. Granted I don't care about Ikaruga but the library as a whole is solid. That being said, Psyvariar 2 is a standout but the ps2 port is better simply because of auto-roll, a button that won't destroy your thumb like rolling does on the Dreamcast.

>>7410486
damn I'm reminded that I need to give this game more love. Such a fun beatemup/shmup hybrid; it shows that Sol Divide wasn't a waste of an effort.

Which ok, has a bit worse loading times but playing the 2 side-by-side it isn't that bad.

Rolling on dc makes the skin of my thumb wear away.

[Anonymous No.7416206]

>>7416167
Never had a problem with rolling on DC, but I used the stick. PS2 has blurrier graphics and annoying load times, but more content so it's down to preference really.

[Anonymous No.7416498]

>>7416206
I guess I didn't notice the blurrier graphics as much on my crt, but I'll take your word for it. The mission mode and practice options are nice (though not as nice as the practice options on psyvariar delta on steam).

It'd be cool to play on stick but I have to slum it with a dc pad... But I got a 3rd party pad not too long ago to save me from that uncomfortable dc controller!

My personal favorite dreamcast shmup

>>7417769
I think its just based on how many lives you have left. 3-green, 2-yellow, 1-red. I think with higher scores you can move up a border level between stages. Its been awhile since I played.

[Anonymous No.7418089]

>>7417870
At this point the list's utility lies in it being a fairly comprehensive list of shmups on each console. Good enough to have an overview but when assessing quality the guy misses the mark.

>>7418079
ok, it might make sense to need a score requirement to go back up a border. Thanks! I'll need to read up more on how the game works; even with credit feeding I haven't figured out stage 2 boss or stage 3 for that matter.

[Anonymous No.7419637]

>>7414356
Low key, the characters screaming REFLECTO FORCE and WING BOMBAAA non stop is a pleasurable experience for me. Too "bad" the US release cut it out.

I need to try and beat the first game with the true ending.

[Anonymous No.7420690]

I wonder what the most efficient way to practice in Border Down is. Is it to practice every stage as red or yellow? The problem is that each stage is different so if you fuck up you are thrown into an entirely different area on respawn which makes it impossible to get a feel for the stage.

all cool games, but not on Dreamcast!
I suggest downloading Demul or Flycast, and going onto that internet archive dump of all DC games and having at it.

I recommend Zero Gunner 2 if you are feeling adventurous and don't mind a slightly unorthodox control scheme (ie your ship can turn around 360 degrees on the screen but lock in place using a button).

[Anonymous No.7425283]

I'm glad Trizeal came out on steam, cuz being able to play it for like $5 allowed me to see that I don't like it whatsoever. Triangle Service's 2D games are better imo. The weird and confusing gimmick stages are a little too over my head.

So, Triggerheart. Is the DC version the best? Is it any good?

[Anonymous No.7425469]

Thoughts on Hikaru and Akane from Konami's retro Parodius series. Are these games fun to beat legitimately start to finish?? or better to pull a ric and pretend you beat them?

[Anonymous No.7425779]

NullDC is fine but it's mostly for weaker pc's and has some graphical/audio inconsistencies. If you have a pc built/bought in the last 3 or 4 years Demul or Flycast will offer better performance and can run even the more intensive post-mortem dreamcast games without a hitch. I dunno about other DC emulators.

Zero Gunner 2 is fun, too! Just avoid the Steam/Switch port like the plague. The porting team lost the source code and had to re-cobble together the game from scratch and they did a bad job of it.

If you like beatemups, Cannonspike/Gunspike by the same dev is an all-capcom beatemup/arena shooter that is similar and lots of fun.

>>7425469
not dc, bro. sadly konami didn't have any shmups on DC.

[Anonymous No.7427197]

Damn, Border Down is an amazing game.

[Anonymous No.7428776]

>>7427197
Today's progress. Don't really fully grasp the scoring system, but I'm kind of piecing things together. You have to earn enough points to pick your border (difficulty? kinda) for the next stage which means you want to do well enough to get back on to the green if things are going sour.

but for some reason it didn't let me do that on stage 4 when I credit fed? I'm not sure i understood it. Even with credit feeding this is a pretty marvelous game.
