>Hey lets make a shooter where you get penalized for using the fire button>Let's also randomly spawn a bunch of shit that flies into you from the side of the screen with no warning eitherThis honestly has to be one of the worst shooters I have ever played with possibly the dumbest mechanic of all time.
>rank is bad... because it just IS.... okay???
>>12515164It's not a rank system though.
>>12514935There's really not much fun to be had with compile games once you have the hang of shmups, there's nothing cool about aimlessly herding random aimed shots around for an hour. Console shmups are truly shit.
>>12516063I wouldn't go that far, I've played all the versions of this game, this game is basically arcade level for the NES, but the MSX2 version is laughably easy and runs in a perpetual state of slow down. It literally plays exactly like you say. The MSX original I haven't played as much of but I hear it's very difficult.
>>12515164rank does suck, it's the shmup equivalent of CRPG level scaling>>12514935unrelated to what you mean, but early shmups penalized you for shooting willy nilly since you could only have a limited number of projectiles on screen at any given timethat kind of precise, deliberate shooting is something I miss in modern games
>>12514935Do you think actual fighter pilots just hold down their missile switches all the time?Retard
>>12517750>this game is basically arcade level for the NESWhat are you talking about, you get like 50 lives. This is a game for nitwits.
>>12517771>early shmups penalized you for shooting willy nillyI can't even imagine what you're talking about unless we're going back to like.... space invaders tier garbage. Not even in gradius is this important.>precise, deliberate shootingYou mean like every single game with chaining, or even just revenge bullets?
>>12518198Galaga, Centipede, Scramble & Phoenix, zoom zoom
The good getting is in need
>>12518213So Space Invaders tier garbage, got it. So glad shmup threads died so this larping third world kid could make the same 5 ritual threads on a loop. How boring.
