>told that this is the best shmup ever and unlike all of that simplistic coin muncher trash>try it>mechanics are extremely shallow and simple>quarter munching difficulty just to extend the game length from stopping you beating it the rental period>game is less than 30 minutes longWhy did you lie to me, /v/?
>>736896368I think for a lot of people/oldfags this is just the only shmup they've ever played. I think it got shilled on Xplay or something. I know it's the only shmup I've ever played. It just doesn't seem like an interesting genre to me.
>>736896368Ikaruga is like Evangelion where a lot of "fans" have no idea what the fuck it means or what its inspirations are, they just assume it's super deep and therefore good. Playing Ikaruga and not liking it means you care if a game is fun. I don't know what you want from a shmup, I just know you didn't get it from Ikaruga.
You might want to try Blazing Star.
99% of Ikaruga threads on /v/ read like they're made by the same person. What is it about this game that's made this faggot so perpetually butthurt?
>>736897738>everyone who points out my double standards and posery is muh ebbin butt blasted okay ya stupid fuckin chud?Pills. Pills now.
>>736896368>>told that this is the best shmup everHAHAHHAHAHAHAH WHO TOLD YOU THAT
what you're looking for is R Type
>>736896368Ikaruga is generally seen as an OK shmup that got weirdly overrated by some mainstream game journalist.Why the fuck are you blaming here.
>>736900553It's an ironic shitpost bait thread like every shmup thread is here for some reason
>>736896368it looks good and it's fun even though it's old af. shmups don't have a lot of mechanics anyway so idk what you are bitching about exactly
>>736896508>>736896603I remember PSM or EGM magazine hyping it up a lot
warning forever is the best shmup so idk what u are on about op
>>736903347Play hellsinker if you want lots of mechanics
>>736896368I think it's fun.
>>736896368Unless you play on hard or self imposed challenges the game is actually quite easy. All enemy placement, bullet patterns, etc are predetermined so the more you play the more you can just memorize it all.Even for garbage shmup players like me it's possible to 1cc it.
Ubusuna never ever...
