Leylite posted:Also, one tip, not mentioned in the manual, that can be quite helpful is that the ship moves faster if you stop shooting. Only in Normal mode. e: If anyone didn't know, the modes in rRootage are copied from Psyvariar, Giga Wing, and Ikaruga (PSY, GW, IKA). Pneub fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Apr 20, 2013 |

Nidoking posted:Subtitles are good for shmups when the point is to distract the viewer from what's happening on the screen and just use the video as background for interesting commentary (see: the Harry Potter ripoff in the bootleg thread that was mostly a reskin of Parodius), but if the point is to admire the skill of the player, I don't think drawing the viewer's eyes to text is the right way to do it. Eh, R-Type's pretty methodical, looking down to the subtitles won't make you miss anything. Here's a Gradius II run with subtitles. The power-up bar kinda gets in the way, but R-Type wouldn't have that problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAHTnRl-y88

slowbeef posted:Are you sure this isn't a version difference thing? I'm pretty sure that's true for the American version. I might be getting the level number wrong, but no way you fight Red Falcon on Easy... right? In Shattered Soldier on easy, it let's you beat the 4 levels on the select screen, then one more and it's over. Maybe that's what you're thinking of.

Dabir posted:But is it a giant version of a regular stage enemy? I've found the game that's from and looked through some of the side scrolling bits and it doesn't seem to be. So in the sense of giant-ising a basic enemy, I *think* that one goes to Data East. Eh, no one's ever come up with an original robot since the ED-209.

George posted:My understanding was that the Genesis had an amazing sound chip that nobody knew how to properly use, so everyone took the same shortcuts and all we ever got was farting. The sound drivers they sent out with dev kits in the west were kinda garbage if they didn't know what to do with it (that's how most these are even possible).

Zeikier posted:I'm teasing the idea of Earthworm Jim and Kid Chameleon once I have my last CHC videos ready. It looks like you'll hit at least 75% of the game one way or another as long as you don't hit any major warps and plan out world 4 a little.  Just remember to hit Bloody Swamp, damnit.

It's a shame Konami couldn't capture the subtle nuances of the Love-Love Dance, but it was the best they could do.

If you have a surplus of shurikins (shuriplus?), you can beat that boss without aiming by getting on the left roof and using spin-jump shots. He's just tall enough that his face will always line up with one of your knives.

Zeether posted:Wasn't Shadow Dancer part of the Shinobi series too? I played that in an arcade and I remember being stuck on level 1 because I was a dumb kid who sucked at games. All I recall was you had a dog and the voice samples for the ninja powers were hilarious. The arcade and Genesis versions are actually two different games with the same basic mechanics.

Choco1980 posted:Also did any of the rest of you here with Maximum Carnage memories ever play the sequel, Separation Anxiety? It was harder, but not in a fun way. The game was pretty much phoned in. The graphics look like a drat 1989 Genesis game on both systems. I remember the double hit being a lot easier for some reason though.

DeathChicken posted:Problem there was I was going to die in two hits, so showing off his other stuff would have ruined my no-death run. Whoops. gently caress it, there isn't much to show off with the bosses in this game anyway. You might as well speedrun them if you feel like it.

I finally managed to track down the best ad ever made: edit: JGBeagle posted:I remember this ad, but I never got to play the game because the local Hollywood Video never had it. They started selling it for about $10 new at least within a few months of release. I'm sure this information really helps you now. e2: poo poo, an article with the poster went up 2 days before I spent an hour googleing it: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/incrediblecrisis/incrediblecrisis.htm Pneub fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Aug 23, 2013 |

Lilfut posted:Does Bionic Commando (NES, although possibly Arcade which is arguably a bit harder) qualify for this? I've been looking for an excuse to do it if so. Rearmed (the NES ver. remake) is a lot harder than the original, this could be a good excuse to buy it if you don't have it already.

Slimnoid posted:
I never got what the advantage of using 1st Person in this game was. The auto-aim is so generous that it doesn't make shooting any easier, and it makes platforming a bit harder. Also, you can lock your aim upward and kill the AT-AT in about 45-60 seconds of circle strafing. It takes some 3 button combination that I can't remember to lock your view .

Slimnoid posted:It might just be personal preference, but first person just works with the N64 controller. Even with the lovely controls I find it more tolerable in first person view, and while the auto-aim is generous the accuracy for the gun is not; holding down Z is really the only way you'll hit enemies at any range other than balls-touchingly close. Eh, tomato tomato (that doesn't work typed, does it?). Still, try the view-lock for that other boss that you have to look up at constantly, it'll save you some time.
