Does /v/ like shmups? Or are they too hard for ya?Or do you just dont like em?
They are alright I guess but oh god the shmup community is awful
I love them but I am total shit at them
I still have no idea what half those bars do.
>>320465990
It's okay anon.
I still have problems clearing the hard mode of most shmups.
>>320465990
muh nigger I am a conformed scrub too
>>320466093
shumps have a hard mode?
>>320466260
Some do, like Ikaruga, Alltynex Second andTouhou
>>320465990
The only shmups I was able to 1CC arethe 2hus.
I'm working on Dodonpachi though.
Buy Darius Burst CS on Steam youmagnificent gentlemen.
>>320466392
It's too expensive and i'll probably won't even play it for more than 5 hours.
>>320466375
Which durrpachi? Bee Storm and American Donpachi are the easier ones.
>>320466392
If it goes on sale this christmas I'll get it. If it doent,I'll still get it.
They're not fun
>>320465981
yep. full of legit autists who can't handle things not being tailored just for them
the amount of nitpicking that goes on over at system11 is fucking absurd. I've seen people shit on a game because it was too long at an hour and a half. like I get some people play for that 1cc and whatnot, but jesus fuck
the threads on /vg/ aren't too bad, but they still do have some annoying shitposters.
why can't shmup fans just get along. who cares if someone likes danmaku games or euroshmups or traditional horizontal games
>>320465810
I like shmups but only when I played them on arcade. Used to play together with my bro on nearest arcade.
I suck when using keyboard and worse when using controller
>>320466568
technically vertical came first with space invaders though

>>320465810
I like shumps a lot but I'm fairly new to the genre
I started to play strikers 1945 and while it's good, everything is slow as fuck
like during the boss fight I'm just shooting to boss and the game slows down to a crawl and I know it's not my computer, when I'm not shooting it goes back to the target frame rate but the inconsistencies can get me killed
how do I deal?
>>320466483
The international version I think
>>320466795
Yeah that one, the more bombs you use the more of them you get
>>320466392
it's really expensive
>>320466778
I don't remember that happening to me though, are you playing a console port?
>>320466392
>That intro song
Absolutely disgusting, nothing will ever top this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwZ8BHm5zg0
>>320465810
I like them when they are cool spaceships and airplanes that get increasing power ups, the action is fast paced and the enemy attacks are unforgiving so quick maneuvering is required.
When they are magical girls with a billion slow moving bullets that can graze all over you then they are kind of gay.
>>320467030
no, arcade
playing the plus version if that matters
>>320467152
you're playing a neo geo game, that's why
play the other version
>>320467117
pleb
>>320467338
so dont play the plus version? what's the difference anyways?
>>320467152
the neo geo version is a lousy port, it runs at 4:3 ration with these ugly bars at the side
>>320466778
i thing its your computer guy
>>320467440
neo geo has weaker hardware than the psykyo board

The Hellsinker manual is super helpful
>>320466568
>system11
I used to visit that website like 10 years ago. I see it did not get any better.
Not that I'm very surprised.
I definitely liked the fact that I could play them on 360 with my arcade stick. only "weeb" game I really liked on console. otomedius excellent was disappointing though
>>320467534
It's not
>>320467452
>>320467564
Okay, that makes sense, but why isnt this mentioned on the hardcoregaming101 article?
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/strikers1945/strikers1945.htm
Post your favorite shump tune, Zuntata is great.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxU1XU6BEOo
>>320467715
Because the quality of HG101 articles varies wildly.
>>320467715
It totally is, right at the end.
>>320467660
>>320465810
can I get a link to the game?
>>320467776
I cant find the individual theme for Virgo, so I'm just gonna post the entire OST instead.

Here

It's in the "Keep your dignity" folder. Just keep in mind that this game is more confusing than E.Y.E.
>>320468382
Thanks
>>320468636
No problem anon, just enjoy the god-tier soundtrack and remember.
Keep your Dignity.
>>320469221
is there an english setting for the options?
>>320469441
Oh shit, almost forgot it doesnt come translated.
Here's the english patch I used

>>320469630
thanks again anon
Does anyone play shmups on a joystick?
>>320471047
As much as i like replicating that arcade feel, a dpad is much more quicker and you can get get pixel perfect precision without effort. Sticks are more fun though.
>>320471198
I've been meaning to learn stick just for the off chance that I ever run into some nice shmups on a candy cab or something. It'd be nice to play just as well on the real thing as at home
Love them.
But man I suck at them.

>>320471047
I plan on getting one for fighters, beat em ups and of course, shumps
gonna get pic related
>>320471492
I just ordered one of these, although I plan on swapping a seimitsu stick in and doing the whole custom art and buttons thing
>>320471573
>and doing the whole custom art
Good luck with that
>>320471661
>Good luck with that
y
you can get plexis for this stick
>>320466392
Does it have "WHAT A MATTER WAS THE MORTAL COMBAT A DREAM?"
>>320471759
Really? where?
I thought you couldn't edit the art since there are no screws, the whole thing is sealed.
>Play different genre of game
>Shmup level out of nowhere-
>>320471573
I wanted one of those but I looked at this lag chart
I know nothing about sticks and this is more for PS4 so it shouldnt really mean anything

yeah bayonetta was great, that level was wayyy too long
>>320471819

I think it'll sit a little high because it's going on top of the panel, but if it's machined nicely with rounded edges that's not really a problem
>>320471993
So how does this shit work? Do you print art and put it above the current cover and then put this over to seal it? how do you seal it if there are no screws?
>>320472547
You peel off the sticker artwork it has by default, take the parts and screws out, put your art and plexi on, then screw it all back down
>>320466568
>full of legit autists who can't handle things not being tailored just for them
sounds just like the fighting game community
i wonder why they haven't fucked already
>>320467379
fastest shooting game i've ever played
and it's a bunch of girls
>>320472687
Sounds like a one way ticket to fucking your stick forever
I wish it was easier to mod like the madcatz ones
I know this question will be subjective, but what game is regarded as the hardest shmup?
>>320472903
Yeah, it's certainly not reversible
>>320471573
ayy I also just order this thing since the price for it has been dropping (in real time) recently
that latency looks pretty bad, but GG thread convinced me that human reaction time is much worse than that anyway
>>320472879
>he thinks Twinkle is fast
Have you not played Gunbird 2? Or Dangun?
>>320474049
tss is faster than gunbird 2 when you're late enough into the game
MAYBE not as much as the 2nd loop
i haven't played dangun, fuck, i probably should
>>320474182
Regardless, fast bullet shmups are so much more satisfying than ones where you need to weave through slow mazes of bullets like 2hu.

That's nothing, dude.

Don't forget the elitism thats the worst part about the community
>>320465810
Suffering through Hellsinker was somehow one of the best times I've ever had with a game. It was like a fever dream where nothing made sense, but awesome shit just kept on happening. Also hard as balls, took me months to finally see the end.
I still go back and listen to the final boss theme from time to time, and it always gives me chills.
How could you not be pumped up when you see: WARNING : NOW REACHES THE FATAL ATTRACTION BE DESCRIBED AS "HELLSINKER"

Sorry, we agreed yesterday that elitism is good because elitists actually play the games a lot

Elitism is annoying desu
