Why do boomers pretend that this game is good?
>>736244556The only shmup that anyone in America played. The rest are for tranny zoomers larping.
It did a lot of really remarkable stuff for the time, like all the layer-based dynamic background destruction.A lot of it is >>736244984 though, it's kind of "the" shmup we had in the US. People have a lot of nostalgia for it even though it's pure memotrash, but most people looking back at it fondly were probably just funneling quarters into it and not paying attention to score or anything.

>>736244556Boomers don't play video games. They see them as children's toys.
>>736245246>pure memotrashName THREE shmups that aren't
>>736247240Pretty much everything danmaku style, or every game by CAVE after Donpachi if you want something more specific. Shmup design around Raiden II's era revolved around boss patterns that are too fast to read and must be memorized and pre-dodged as well as ground enemies coming in from the lower sides of the screen that will instakill you if you don't preposition for them or even flying enemies coming in from the back of the screen that just ram into you if you didn't know ahead of time to move out of the way.That kind of design fell out of favor in the mid 90s, bullets got denser but slower and "you just have to know" bullshit enemy placement got lesser and lesser
>>736246315>boomers are one person
>>736244556Because it is.PS - boomers don't play video games.They hate them.t. Gen X.
>>736244556It was everywhere. It's the only shooting game you could guarantee an arcade would have aside from, like, Galaga. It's the reason most normalfags consider the genre bland.

>>736247825>Pretty much everything danmaku style, or every game by CAVE after Donpachi if you want something more specificThen why does no one beat them without practicing for hours?
>>736255371Because "difficult" doesn't mean "memorizer." Are you stupid or something?
>>736255425But if they are skilled players they should be able to beat it in a few tries without memorizing...
>>736255480Practicing something does not inherently meaning you are "memorizing" it
>>736255653It takes top players weeks to 1CC a new game because it is all memorization. There are no transferable skills between shmups.
>>736255760That really just isn't how it works. Skilled players will need very few attempts to clear a game when it's not memo heavy and this regularly happens. Easier games will even get blind 1cc'd by superplayers.
>>736255760>it takes top players weeks to 1cc a new gameJaimers / Iconoclast /etc. and co. have a 1cc of every new game that comes out within days
