I beat gradius 2!!! are you guys proud of me!? :D
I remember during the Blockbuster days I always wanted to rent this and beat it with my friend, but my friend was already turbo faggit and wouldn't play 2D games, he was spoiled already.This has continued all the way on into current day, where I try to get people to play shit with me and they just don't take the time.People are truly awful.
>>84781568sorry I made you think about bad things :(what version did you rented? was it the nes version?I will never understand people that refuse to watch or play something simply because it's old

Also lol, last time I 1cc'd Gradius II I managed to never die until right at the very last part of the game, where the crab was about to leave the screen before the final boss.GG OP
>>84781620I AM THE STRONGEST!*dies in 3 seconds*also that final level reminded me a bit of genocyber
>>84781643I beat it without dying once, not really what I was going for but this game is pretty much impossible to beat otherwise (I have video proof)
>>84781643also it's funny because in parodius those things are actually giant women
>>84781661I get what you mean. Learning recovery strats is a lot harder than literally just no miss the entire game.
>>84781294yes im proud of you anoni could never beat these harder 2d games. im very awful at them
>>84781688it feels impossible to play without power ups and there's no continues (this a ps1 port of the arcade version)>>84781707gradius 1 took me 4 days to beat, gradius 2 took me a month, I think this is the hardest game I've ever completed (and it was on normal)
>>84781707The first two gradius games aren't that bad, but you will have to deal with the fact that if you lose a life in a bad spot, recovering is really tough, only barely possible at times.Don't play the third unless you want this to happen to you.
>>84781729I've only ever beaten the snes version of 3 I've tried the arcade version before and I could only beat the first stage
>>84781755SNES version is fine.Arcade version is genuinely harder than most other things you will play in the same genre, and not in a fun way.
>>84781294>gradius 2Damn, in my opinion shmups are the hardest single player games, I suck at them so I just try to enjoy the visuals.Congrats on your achievement, I am jelly.
>>84781784oh yeah I could tell from what little I played, apparently gradius 4 is also not very good.anyway next I will try to beat gradius gaiden which funnily enough is what I was going to play in the first place but then got distracted with the first 2 games >>84781846yeah they are pretty tough, way way way harder than ninja gaiden on nes.but there are some easy shmups out there!gradius 3 on snes is a bit more forgiving, also gradius 1 and 2 on easy are perfectly beatable I think, I mean I beat it on normal but easy mode is a good way to practice those games I think
>>84781951Gradius Gaiden is easily the best in the series imo.Also play Parodius series if you haven't already. Except the MSX one, they are all gud.
>>84782028I played one of the parodius games the one on snes but didn't finish it, it was fun though gradius 5 also looks pretty cool
poof that I beat gradius 2 without dying :)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddi_aR3V4kY
