Only if they are fully randomized, and thus immune to tool and memorization assisted speedrunning.

Trannies can't play those kinds of shmups though. They prefer to ignore all of them.

Here's one of the best shmups of all time, and it's 1000% tranny proof even though a gay sheep fucker made it.

Nothing makes people angrier. The losers who can't clear it gnash their teeth and scream at the people who can. There's nothing like it in all of gaming.

you want to sit in the corner with other brown people and play RPS with each other forever. It's oversocialized brown behavior. Just like how you faggits do infinite phonecalls about nothing with each other

I don't wanna sound like one of those fags, but """gameplay density""" is real, and while other games gives you dopamine at full hands, in STG's you need to git gut at each game if you want to feel any sort of completion; it's a sisyphus kind of thing.

Qft. Any time I get to talking vidya with someone and they start talking about multiplayer bullshit I know they're a normie. They only exist to socialize and can't stand to be alone with they're thoughts.

Shmups are solved, the only real challenge is learning the various patterns, nobody even plays the ones which are randomized to any great extent. It's boring. It's like checkers or Connect 4 - you can always win if you know what's what.

In that sense they are no worse than some other games but no matter how "fast" the bullets fly you're just memorizing shit. It would be interesting to take the top shmup speedrunners and record their FIRST playthrough on a brand new bullet hell shooter. I bet it would look worse than a five year old child's performance, they don't even play games, they memorize patterns.

This is because many games were released in the arcades to entice you to get better and have a high score, by memorizing how you died and not dying, they are called quarter pumpers. Many fun games are quarter pumpers. But take them for what they are. On home platforms they couldn't pump you for quarters so you had to make due with limited continues, sometimes a password, even more rarely a save game option.

Hmmm, child?

Shmups are a memorization game, the random ones don't even catch the eye of the speedrunning tranny set who are terminally, TERMINALLY online.

It was always a quarter sucker genre. Enticing you along, step by step. I don't think anybody could have predicted speedrunners or what happens with them, however.

If you could make a point you would, the problem with shmups is it's rote memorization. You don't "get good" you simply die until you learn the pattern. Maybe you get to be OK and feel like you can hang, but the pattern will always catch you.

They were designed to suck quarters from the pockets of little children, you know.

I've played a lot of quarter-sucker shmups and they almost all fall flat. Iridis Alpha being one exception, you can always come back to that. But it has extra dimensions of play, sometimes you actually NEED to take damage and it's all semi-randomized.
>>
>>12653312
A good platformer beats them. But you have to play it by arcade rules, and the game has to be designed that way.

why do piggers hop on /vr/ and act so boisterously proud about not liking games? there's a thousand threads you can go into and make fun of people for playing games, what a coincidence you choose this one

can't name a top player in shmups that is a tranny other than kamui. no idea why /vr/ loves to give trannies more credit than they deserve when it comes to high skill gaming, romhacking/modding, or anything that requires dedication. i guess the straight man lives in a sea of mediocrity according to /vr/ while the tranny strives to push themselves?

Considering how small of a percentage of the population they are, and how small "top shmup players" is as a group, that's pretty good. The thing is they're found at the highest levels of just about anything.
>>
>>12654221
they'll always post walls of text and ad hominem and deflect and try to position themselves as enlightened geniuses but they never ever post clears
>>
>>12654221
No please explain, I'd love to hear it. I've been playing shmups for ages, I'm old. I pumped many a quarter. When I got Ridge Racer I had to play Galaga or was it Galaxian or whaever.

Go on. Try to make some sense.

>>12654226
You too, cough it up sister.
