So this is coming to Steam... why isn't /v/ talking about it?
I hate STG and I already fapped to all the fanart
What is this?
>>321657239
deathsmiles
it's an okay horizontal shmup for 360
/v/ finally realizing shmups are a meme genre.
Is it?
I really like Deathsmiles; it's easy enough for casuals like me.
>>321657358
It's a dead genre. How the fuck can there be so many Japanese owners on Steam compared to everyone else?? No wonder Cave stopped localizing games... what's the point when almost half the sales are from Japan alone?
>>321657325
> horizontal
Into the trash
>>321659463
>14k
Jesus christ. It sold like shit.
I'm sure Cave even lost money with the port.
>>321660259
They already said it exceeded their expectations so I doubt they lost money.
>>321658143
Are you me?
>>321656910
Because /v/ is too casual for shmups.
>>321656910
Too busy reading mangas and fapping.
>>321656910
Because if it has anime girls, it's not a REAL shmup, so shmupfags don't want to talk about it nor want anything to do with it.
>>321660259
I don't think you realize ports cost next to nothing.
The hardest part about porting is after you release which is just fixing dumb shit you missed
>>321662604
They're not shmup fans then. I hope Cave decides to only release games like Deathsmiles with full waifu factor just to piss off non-STG fans.
Because we all already have the limited edition on 360?
>Be CAVE
>Have an amazing backlog of franchises like DoDonpachi, Ibara, Esp, Akai Katana, etc.
>Decide to release generic flying lolis #232
OK.
>>321662986
>not supporting CAVE
>>321663341
>Akai Katana
That game was garbage though.
>>321662958
>I hope Cave decides to only release games like Deathsmiles with full waifu factor just to piss off non-STG fans.
You and me both, brother.
I wish good STGs would sell as good as the Neptunia games, but I guess they're just too fucking hard for most gamers to enjoy them.
I love them but it's rare as fuck for me to have the patience and dedication to 1CC one of them.
>>321663691
Imagine the rage from those faggots when they release Deathsmiles IIX and they learn it has loli fanservices too. And nobody will give a shit about their opinion since they don't buy shmups anyway.
>>321663939
Deathsmiles is rather easy so...
>>321666321
It's still probably too hard for many people thanks to the difficulty spike at Hades Castle. It's still quite easy compared to other shmups, but still.
Didn't Cave say somewhere that they were thinking of doing something unique for this port to make up for the fact that Deathsmiles already got an international release?
>>321666880
I'm a shitter and managed to clear Deathsmiles on phone so it's definitely doable. And yeh they did.
>>321666990
That might be something to look forward to, then. I just wonder what they could do for it.
>>321667452
They might add the missing slowdowns back which would likely make some parts easier and unify arcade and steam mode.
>>321668107
Wasn't the slowdown in 360 mode only missing in the NA version of the game? Either way that would be kinda cool. I like the aesthetic of 360 mode but I can't get into it after getting so used to scoring in Arcade mode.
>>321668817
I'm not sure but people said even the JP version might not have been perfect either.
>people complaining about lolis in shmup as if it were something recent
>>321669418
Speaking of Twinkle Star Sprites, is it possible to play it with a xbox 360 controller without ruining your fingers after 20mins?
>>321669418
B-b-but it doesn't count! L-little g-girls in my s-shmups! Preposter-rous! Wh-where a-are my videogames w-with s-s-spaceships!? I d-don't w-want these th-things for l-little g-girls! I want my m-mature videogames f-for mature people s-such as myself!
>>321670152
That sounds exactly like how those people act.
This reminds me even back over 15 years ago when I first emulated Twinkle Star Sprites I always mained Yan-Yan.
>>321670467
Damn you Windia.
>>321669418
I don't really understand the people who hate games just for having girls in them. My first shmups had lolis in them, and I'm not opposed to trying ship shmups. If Cave would've ported Dodonpachi or Ketsui instead of Mushihimesama and Deathsmiles, I would've bought those too.
>>321670904
The people that hate them don't even play the games so you can just safely ignore them.
>>321670904
I bought mushihimesama despite not being my type of game, just to support cave. I'm more into horizontal games and I prefer my shmups a bit easier. Mushihimesama was just way too hard for me ;_;
>>321659463
Porting from the 360 to PC is super cheap.
They already made a bit of money,and it's the sort of game that sells over a longer period of time.
Man I just didn't want this game. I wanted Daioujou, Akai Katana, MushiFutari, or PORKUUPU.
>>321671747
Why didn't you want Deathsmiles? It's a good game.
>>321669418
>>321670152
>>321670636
>>321670904
>>321671024
What a bunch of faggots
>>321672157
Says the faggot who doesn't play STG games.
>>321656972
pretty much this
putting lolis into trash shmups is a waste of good loli
>>321656910
Looks cool.
>>321670904
If anything, people love little girls in their shooters too much nowadays.
Popular games with ships are becoming more scarce.
>>321672423
Deathsmiles is easy, so buy it to support Cave and loli in the industry and you might even like the game.
>>321672825
no. shmup is just fundamentally unappealing to me and saying I should buy it just for cute girls is just gonna hurt the "industry".
lolis helped kill shmups and cave to be honest.
they even went as far to fully lolify donpachi to hopefully get more of the pedo bux.
>>321673463
cave literally went out of business anon.
>>321673242
Fairly sure Donpachi only had one loli. Unless you call any girl younger than 15 loli.
>>321673242
You'll never reach Hibachi so I don't see why you're crying.
>>321673242
>not liking Cave lolis
>>321673616
And that is somehow the fault of one of their most successful games?
Cave died down because the shmup genre as a whole is dying out, not because of the shape of the sprites.
>>321674507
>not even lolis can save Cave
RIIIIIP.
>>321675149
That mobile game they made with all the lolis and waifus seems to have pulled them out of the grave and now they're starting to port their shmups to Steam.
>>321674507
Don't forget that releasing their games on 360 was a terrible move.
>>321676308
This, too.
>let's release our games on the console that's least popular in the country where the majority of our fans are
>>321676204
Indeed. It has some damn fine lolis too.
>>321656910
there was already a thread, 8 hours ago.
>>321659463
I never even knew it came out. So many games are released all the time, there's no way anyone could be aware of everything that would interest them.
>>321676725
That was a blunder.
>>321677843
Cave and bamco did this like a billion times
>IM@S on xbox
only reason the xbox sold in nip land
>>321677161
Steam is getting lot of Japanese games ports lately yeh. It's great.
>>321677843
It could've been alright if it was multiplat, but for some reason they decided on exclusivity.
>>321678014
Bamco abandonned the xbox now thankfully and decided to put games on PC over it.
>>321679374
Looks like Cave is following suit.
>>321679374
IM@S and ace combat 7 on PC then?
Wait Deathsmiles had online co-op on xbox360? How was it? Will it be on Steam too?
>>321681286
I never tried it personally but I've heard it was very... not good.
>>321681645
I'm wondering if the reason why the game is taking so long to port (it's been in the work for over a year) might be because it has online co-op.
>>321681796
One theory of mine is that they wanted to start with Deathsmiles first, but realized they should hold off until they're sure they can do a PC port smoothly. And so they made Mushihimesama and released it, which came with a lot of things that needed to be fixed after release. Now with that experience they're putting the finishing touches on Deathsmiles and making sure what went wrong with Mushi, doesn't go wrong with Deathsmiles.
>>321682301
I hope you're right though I'm kinda hoping it also includes online... at least there's no mention they removed online yet. I have a few friends who'd surely like to play the game online with me.And that'd give me a chance to ask them for their steam.
>>321678748
Cave only did the ports for 360 because Microsoft asked, one of their producers at the time (Makoto Asada) had a good relationship with people at Microsoft. Mushihimesama HD was meant to be the last 360 port, but a producer from Microsoft practically begged Asada to port Saidaioujou.
