I LOVE Ikaruga BUT I WOULD NEVER EVER PLAY ITTTTTT!!!!!!!
>I WOULD NEVER EVER PLAY ITTTTTTthe most avid shmup gamer on /v/
why are shmupfags so uppity about popular games like ikaruga, radiant silvergun, zeroranger, etc? they get so butthurt and make gay weird vague threads like this.
>>736251228huge fan just like me
>>736251419Why do anti-shmup schizos love making shit up that never happened?
>>736251858shmupfags are exactly like thissee https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/bXFz4IKtG5R9WRpav6CZcQ/ and https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/Pl2Ud_5tVsbb1vpQwL_OLg/
>>736252481These posts very obviously are not criticizing the games in question.
>>736251228Based. Just listen to the OST.
bullethell shooters suck
>>736251228I will say that as a non-shmup fan, Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun are one of the few shmups that actually made me want to 1CC them. And I'm glad I did. Both games are a feast for the senses and a joy to experience no matter how many times you play them. The spectacle alone will always be worth the price of admission, hence why these games convinced me to git gud at them.But shmupfags act like this is somehow a bad thing, and it's somehow my fault I don't want to spend 100 hours playing shmups with mobile-tier visuals and terrible buttrock music.
>>736252481Probably all made by the same schizo. They're basically copypasta at this point.
>>736253138>Ikaruga>bullet hellLOL
>>736254919>but shmupfags [schizophrenic delusions which never happened ever]Pills
>>736251228Most of v/ doesn't game.Sad.
ikaruga is too hard :)) devil blade, andro dunos and everything else is joyous
>>736254919It takes well over 200 hours to be able to 1cc Ikaruga and RS combined. Are you really sure that you hate any other shmups? No way there's no non-RS/I shmup that you like if you're willing to play them, there's tons of inherent overlap
>>736256398>ikaruga is too hard :))LOL.
>>736256134On this very website I have listed a bunch of shmups I tried and couldn't get into. And in response to this, the resident shmupfags tried to shame me.I know I'm in the right so I don't care one way or the other - most of this genre is limp-dicked and stale. That's not a minor issue, either, and as much as people will say the genre is for "gameplay purists", that's dishonest bullshit, too.These same "purists" will proceed to unironically dickride tons of non-gameplay related shmup things that are genuinely dogshit if you compare them to anything outside the shmup genre itself.>>736256413Both took me around 50-100 hours each. Not exactly sure I don't think it was well above that. I used practice options extensively, both were on normal, and for RSG I only 1CC'd arcade mode (I eventually did each route so at least there's that). I actually do like the odd shmup here and there, but a lot of the really big ones failed to grab me for some reason. I realize I overall prefer shmups that are on the console side of things - IMO arcade-style design conventions tend to make very little rational sense outside an actual arcade context.
>>736251858Are you still on Universal Credit?
>>736251329based and realinterestpilled.
>>736251228I LOVE Ikaruga and I have 260 hours on steam
for me it's hellsinker
>>736259098>I only like console shmups which is why I spent 200 hours 1ccing 2 arcade shmupsYou're retarded
whats the matter? afraid youll be regret?
>>736251419Ikaruga gets playful teasing because of the frothing ign review. Radiant Silvergun is largely left alone. zer oranger is a shitty westoid game in a genre full of nip kino with new stuff constantly being made, so there's no reason to play it.
>>736259098People called you retarded because you just listed a few games that you didn't like without actually explaining your issues with them or your thoughts at all, just "I didn't like this", obviously people won't respond well if your complaints are so stupid and shallow
>>736260418Why are you such a fag? zeroranger is good.
>>736260409even though the ideal is high, i never give in...
>>736260523its made by a westoid instead of a grorious nip (or at least a k*rean), therefore its gay.
>>736251228One of the few hungarian made games btw
>>736259098You should play Gradius V and Mushihimesama.
>>736260683I lied actually I was thinking of Sine Mora
>>736260587It's one of the very few westoid shmups that are actually good, you stupid fuck. Jamestown and Devil Engine also come to mind but I can't think of more.
>>736260409I wish they made Ikaruga 2.
>>736254919Try Night Striker Gear. It's the first game the director of those 2 games has directed and actually released unlike ubusuna>b-but I don't like rail sh-Don't be a bitch m8, it's pure kino and the whole game just ooze's his particular style.
>>736259098....you DO know RS and Ikaruga are literally arcade games, right?
>>736260815ikaruga (rs2) 2 is ubusuna (rs3) thoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OywuoPqPFU
>>736260815Hiroshi Iuchi (director of RSG and Ikaruga) wants to make a third in the trilogy, and M2 is developing, but they're constantly swamped with ports and stuff. It's called Ubusuna, and Iuchi has already released some of the soundtrack. He's determined to make the game happen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OywuoPqPFU
>>736251228How does somebody love Ikaruga but not want to play it? What is it about Ikaruga that would make somebody like it outside gameplay? The whole thing is a few images and the video game itself. Is there some sort of weird underground Ikaruga fanbase, like with Touhou, that really enjoys the Ikaruga fanlore but doesn't play the game?
>>736260879meant to put "in ages." after the spoiler.
>>736260954They enjoy the concept of it and endlessly parading it around to appear smart and enlightened but refuse to actually play it.
>>736260954not him but it was fairly popular with its xbox 360 port and known as a really difficult game, especially since that was around the time of dark souls. i've played both, i'm currently working on my 1cc of radiant silvergun saturn mode before i revisit ikaruga and i really do like the story of the games, so i could see people being secondaries over it.
>>736260920>>736260939...this is news to me wow. Thanks for the hopium
>>736260232This both a hilarious and very pathetically human post that triggers my latent sympathies
>>736260954The music, maybe? But its soundtrack is better in context because Iuchi designed the stages and OST to be in perfect sync with each other. Hence why the Gamecube port was so bad, the music was delayed by at least 1 second and if you're used to arcade/Dreamcast, it will throw you off and kill the zen.
>>736260232Lol. What ever happened to this nigga
>>736260920>>736260939Ubumind
>>736261203Here's hoping, indeed. If Iuchi dies before he gets to make Ubusuna, I will never be not mad at M2.
>>736261459About M2, what's stopping them from releasing their ketsui and esp ra de ports on Steam? I've played the shit out of those on mame and they're the only ports of that kind I would buy.
>>736261916The only games they release on Steam are cases where the publishers force them to. CAVE doesn't care if they release the games on Steam or not and they definitely wouldn't sell enough (like 1k at most in the first month) to make it worth bothering
>>736261916>I've played the shit out of those on mame and they're the only ports of that kind I would buy.M2 is known for their autistic arcade-perfect standards. They designed their ports to work with the PS4 and Switch's specs. PC would have different framerates and input delays, since no two PC builds are exactly the same.At least it's better than the "fuck you" we get from George Kamitani on the subject of Vanillaware games on PC. He has this thing against the possibility of mods.
>>736262306>no two PC builds are exactly the same.I should have mentioned: On that note, it's why fighting game tournaments use console hardware, since PC's specs would vary/ possibibly add entire frames of input lag.
>>736262306>He has this thing against the possibility of mods.Wasn't their thing also that they didn't want people knowing how they did the art or something like that?
