As someone who has never played a shmup, why is it a troll to say Treasure is good, like I posted earlier. I know it riles ppl up but what's bad about treasure games

ikaruga is a brown crummby looking game for one thing. the scoring system is really bad even worse than dodonpachi chaining which i don't really like but hell whatever. it also has old hori style environmental obstacles and bosses that look like crap. radient silvergun has a frigging exp grind and looks like poo poo and it's on saturn.

gradius v is fine i guess if you want to play a gradius game (gradius gaiden on psx is better tho). their best games are platformers and poo poo.

this is a good analogy and I understand now. Sorry for trolling the shmup thread, the only treasure game I've played us sin and punishment but it's not even close to a shmup

There's a lot of value in the public being able to see how the system works.

People always post this re: ikaruga like it means something other than "I don't get Ikaruga"

It's pretty good and deserves the (good and bad) attention it gets.

DDP is a lot easier if you just play for survival rather than trying to keep your chains going and milking all the bosses. I used to follow a few hi-score forums, which discouraged my from trying to get high scores because those guys are god-tier. So I just play for the 1CC.

A lot of the top scores on shmups forum are set with JB5th, but I think the top one right now is Yasuke. Anyway I use JB5th too. Wide shot takes out the popcorn to you can worry about dodging/setting up your splatter shot.

Getting through the first loop of DDP was a big step for me playing shmups (I'm still garbage, but anyway). The approach I read about, which turned out to work, is to focus on no-missing the first three stages. If you can manage that you have enough lives, plus the extend, to bombspam your way through every trouble spot for the rest of the game.

I had a dream about a shmup the other day it was a really weird one where it was 2d but you could go up and down and crash into things. Doesn't seem like a good idea for a shmup frankly and even my dream self noticed it.

it's this game. your ship is invincible when it hits the ground and some enemeis and you bounce arun and get points. this guy isn't doing it and pissing me off since you should always be crashing intothe ground and enemies to milk points.

This was like a weird isometric perspective game or some poo poo. I think? Maybe it was a top down hori or something weird like that. Anyway Thats cool.
