Playing pic related. How is anyone supposed to beat this? It took me like 50 tries to beat the boss of the 5th level, and then I was too burnt out to continue playing, so I now I have to start over next time.

You didn't unlock any better ships??

>> No.7450621

>>7450593
Well yeah I unlocked about 20 ships now. I keep forgetting what each ship does until I try it out. Guess I should pay more attention to that on my next run.

Also, how does the automatic battle mode work? I get fucked every time.

i don't get why this game is shat on so much, it's really fun for a stoic shmup and i'm enjoying it more than gradius 5 and other ps2 horis.

It's quite good, but unfortunately it's deliberately moody and slow paced which although atmospheric and full of anticipation when you first play it means it's a real chore when you're playing a level (especially the snooze-fest first one) for the inevitable hundreth time. Compare it to R-Type Delta that's consistently exciting all the way through.

yeah, a pity there's no stage select feature.

so what are you guys favourite ship to use ?

>> No.7452626

the 5th boss is a horrible pain in the ass OP, there's no way around it. You might want to try a ship that has a powerful charge attack to damage it more quickly. I think staying in the center during its gravity traction is a death-trap as well, but I can't remember a proper safe-spot during that attack.

>> No.7452650

5th boss is hard, but you get the hang of it after a while

But nothing can save you from stage 4 slowdowns....

The performance sucks and it's a little ugly, but I generally agree, it's fine. Delta was better, though.

one thing a lot of people don't realize about stage 5 is that the visual distortion is tied to your ship speed. The slower you are the less the distortion. I tend to keep my speed at 2 at most during the stage, maybe 3 if I need to zoom somewhere.

OP here, I died like 50 times to this boss before finally beating him with Happy Days (on Human difficulty). Then I was too burnt out to continue. How'd the guy in that video beat him in one shot? Is that ship just that powerful? What difficulty is it?

Yeah I know it sounded like I was complaining in my first post but I really just wanted to talk about this game.

A while ago I remember seeing someone say the same thing about this game, maybe it was you??? Can you (or anyone else) explain the AI battle mode? I suck at it every time. It would be more fun if there was an easier way to see all of a ship's different attacks.

>How'd the guy in that video beat him in one shot?
most ships can power up their wave cannon twice. Some can power it up 3 times or more and the power scaling becomes absolutely ludicrous. 3 or 4-times charged can usually instakill a boss (one ship can charge up to 5 times but it takes what feels like a whole minute to do).

>> No.7457405

>>7457402
when you say "power it up 3 times" do you mean collecting 3 upgrades, or filling the meter 3 times?

>> No.7457410

>>7457405
charging your beam, ie, holding down the shot button (not autofire, obviously). Your charge attack is called the Wave Cannon. I'm pretty sure the R-Museum notes which ships can charge up to multiple times, or you can consult a guide like the one on slateman's site.

Yes it was. R-Type Tactics 1/2 take place a decade before the Operation Last Dance. Until R-type Final 2 comes out and confirms it takes place after it FINAL is the last game chronologically.

Irem's monthly reports looked solid. I trust that since we're in a shmup renaissance it'll just default to being excellent.
