Why haven't you beaten a shmup yet, /v/?
Easy mode: some doujin shit like Touhou
Normal mode: a console shmup like Zanac or Soldier Blade
Hard mode: any arcade shmup made in the last 20 years
Donte Must Die mode: any shmup by CAVE
my brain can't spatial logic. Still, western shooters are fun.
>>322022969
Western shmups are pretty bad 2bh.
I only have one eye, so I've given up on more complex video games.
>>322022748
Good lord why can't someone enjoy any shoot 'em up without making some douche on the internet rage?
I like touhou but I'm not being some generic /v/tard who hates one side or the other to be part of the meme shmup wars.you're the cancer of /v/ and should consider suicide
>>322022748
>soldier blade
1CCed this a few times. Amazing game
I already did.
Giga Wing, Ikaruga, Progear, and Mushihimesama
>>322027095
>Progear
How did you deal with the shitty 2nd loop?
>>322027236
Ho you include 2nd loops ?
Then I didn't 1CC'd this one.
MAME SHMUPS
Easy mode: Give yourself unlimited credits
Normal mode: Give yourself nine credits
Hard mode: Give yourself one credit.
I honestly don't know if arcade shmups were ever designed to be beaten with one credit. I've tried, but I often got into situations where I felt like it was impossible to dodge everything.
Got this for Christmas and I couldn't be happier.FREEEEEDOM
>>322027835
best shmup on Steam 2bh pham
>>322025321
there's nothing wrong with the touhou games desu
I just hate how most of the time they're brought up they attract touhou fans who don't actually play the games. go to /jp/ if you want to talk about cute girls or the music, and go to /vp/ if you want to talk about your puppets
>>322022748
How hard is Deathsmiles compared to Mushihimesama and Raiden IV? I tried both on easiest difficulty and gave up because I couldn't 1cc either of them. Fuck my life.
>>322028320
deathsmiles is cave's easiest game
>>322022748
>try ikaruga after playing 2hu
>game mechanics are not bad
>screen is full of shit i cant even differentiate bullets and background
>when a lot of shit happens the game slows down, thinking my laptop is lagging
>switch to desktop and keep playing
>game slows down again
>cant remove the babby mode
>return to 2hu to get my ass kicked again by CP
>>322028560
Wasn't that Deathsmiles II? Also how would it rank in term of difficulties? For normal, 1.5, death and lv999? I think someone made a ranking a while back...
Galactic Attack is the only shmup for me.
>>322027946
I'm shit at shmups but I've been a Darius fan for a long time anyway, I'm really enjoying CS mode, it's good practice.
What's the best shmup on steam and why is it Crimson Clover?
>>322028894
man I found crimzon clover to be generic as fuck and not super fun
danmaku unlimited, ikaruga, mushi, strania and even sine mora are much more fun
it's weird, because there's absolutely nothing wrong with crimzon clover, it just doesn't do anything to differentiate it from any other game
>>322028894
i hate the lock-on mechanics
also it feels like a cheap flashy CAVE knock-off
>>322028894
That's not how you spell KAMUI.
>>322029109
I'm the post above you, and I think the lock on mechanics are the best part of the game. that's probably just because I love rayforce so much though
>>322029060
>likes Danmaku unlimited
>but thinks crimzon clover is generic as fuck
what
Slowdowns are shit tier design.
>>322029665
well yeah danmaku is generic as well, but it also manages to be fun despite that.
>>322029943
Then I literally don't understand how you think CC isn't fun.
>>322027795
Same here. I've given up playing mame shmups seriously, it kind annoys me how revered they tend to be.
>>322022748
Does that GBA Gradius port count?
Oh, and I made it 8 or so boss iterations into Warning Forever, I think. No good way to beat that, but whatever.
>>322027795
You have bombs at your disposal with a reason. Even Japanese superplayers use them if necessary.
>>322027795
>I honestly don't know if arcade shmups were ever designed to be beaten with one credit.
Ketsui Ura loop
Went through Wings of Wor.
>Look up Crimson Clover
>Curtain shooter
Man how did this stuff even explode the way that it did
>>322030931
Because they're purrty.
>>322031473
I guess I lament my own lock of adderall reflexes. Back to shooting Robot Fish I guess.
Also I've been trying out touhou and I can't use my fightstick without an external application and that really salts my slug.
>>322030931
>space invaders and shmups that came after it are a massive hit
>many people love it
>meanwhile, consoles and RPGs come out which many people get into since they are easy
>the people that got good at shmups stay playing shmups while the shitters go to the console RPGs
>since the audience for shmups is now mostly people that are good at them the shmups get harder and harder to satisfy their main audience
>Battle Garrega comes out and tests the water with having lots of bullets on screen
>it's a huge success, prompting other companies like CAVE to also make bullet hells while "traditional shmups" slowly die out.
That's kinda the summary of it.
Is Dariusburst playable on a single 4:3 monitor?
Because I already beat Einhander and there's no topping that OP.
RECOMMEND ME SOME SHMUPS FUCK
I did beat Thunder Cross II on coin-op years ago.
Single credit, single life. Dying there meant game over anyways.
Pic related, the game.
>>322032091
BECAUSE I'VE PLAYED EVERYTHING FROM THAT LIST AND I NEED SOMETHING NEW FUCK
>>322022748
test
>>322032091
Eliminate Down.
>>322032053
Yeah. Only AC mode does the dual screen thing and it's still playable. CS mode was designed for home use in mind so the resolution will fit a 4:3 natively.
>>322032091
>>322032250
Radiant Silvergun
>>322032091
strania is pretty cool
>>322027795
I can usually do Cave shit like DOJ and Ketsui in like 3 credits, but that's not good enough
>>322022748
does DODONPACHI count
cause thats the only one i've tried so far other than the touhou ones.
Any suggestions on ones that I shouldn't miss out on ?
>>322032472
>still no steam port
>>322032534
That's a CAVE shmup so yes
>>322032472
Alright, thanks.
I was asking because Darius 1 and 2 are already hard to play on a 4:3 because they're fucking tiny in MAME. Can't even begin to imagine the ultra-widescreen in Burst.
>>322032618
Sorry it's been a while, forgot that was even a CAVE game.
I miss games that were really hard and you had to work in getting good in them, Dark souls filled that itch for a while but it all just feel empty now in recent games.
>>322032534
ketsui and rayforce
not related to what you've played, but I personally feel like everyone should play in the hunt. it's by the guys who would go on to make metal slug and it's fucking awesome
Is there an infograph on shmups in general?
>>322032819
>metal slug
nigga I love metal slug
3 and X are my favorites
>>322032868
/vr/ might have something like that.

wait for dark souls 3 :^)Have you tried the Ys games? Or maybe some indie platformers like Wings of Vi maybe?
>Enemies can shoot through walls
>>322032429
LOOKS RAD AS FUCK, DOWNLOADING NOW
>>322032472
FUCK TREASURE AND THEIR FORCED SCORING SYSTEMS
>>322032475
I'M NOT A FAN OF 2.5D SHMUPS, UNLESS THEY'RE FUN AS FUCK AND HAVE GOOD MECHANICS
>>322033135
It'll work. I've already played Ikaruga so I'm not a complete beginner.
>>322032658
It's still going to be tiny but it's still a lot more bearable than 1 or 2.
>>322033298I'm too shit to worry about scoring systems and just focus on killing everything while not dying.When I can do that then I'll worry about scoring.
>>322033371
Yes you are. Ikaruga is a puzzle game.
>>322032091
eXceed 2nd - Vampire REX
The best game in the trilogy.
>>322033167
Yeah only 4 more months
>>322032091
any reason you don't have alltynex?
>>322034515
Didn't like RefleX that much, Alltynex Second feels like Radiant Silvergun and looks kinda bad. But everything in Kamui is fucking fantastic and I love it.
Once went on a hardcore shooter binge and set out to beat every scrolling shooter I could feasibly emulate and some I had on console. Can't even remember all of them.
Radiant Silvergun/Ikaruga
Battle Garegga
Batsugun
Mars Matrix
DonPachi/DoDonPachi
Gradius Gaiden/III/V
Twinkle Star Sprites
Layer Section 2
Thunder Force V
Soukyugurentai
GigaWing 1/2
various R-Type Games, 100% Final
various Raiden games
played a bit of Progear but didn't like it
>>322033298
Yeah it is pretty cool. Similar to Hellfire due to having three modes of weapons useful for different situations. Just that you don't switch among them as often, but it is a pretty metal game.
>>322022748
i can't anon
i had A LITTLE bit of skill at dodging shit, but when everything starts going fast i just panic
i just panic anon, every time
at everything
>someone starts randomly talking to me in the street? i panic
>someone replies to my post insulting me? i panic
i just can't
>>322022748
I've beaten a couple Cave shmups. Managed to unlock the true final boss too.
>>322035470
>someone replies to my post insulting me? i panic
You're joking, right?
>>322022748
>1942
>1943
>Touhous 6, and 8
>Gradius 2

That's off the top of my head. I still want to get around to Ikaruga sometime, but busy lately.
>>322022748
> Donte Must Die mode: any shmup by CAVE
ESPGALUDA :^)
>>322038002
That final boss though
>>322038245
Yeah, the only hard part of that game, I always end up failing my 1cc because of that shitter
>>322036615
Ikaruga is shit, don't bother.
>Thousand Knives in DBCS
Fuck that thing
>>322022748
Playing UN squadron and getting raped by the boss fights
>>322043281
>Psikyo
>not dumpster garbage tier
>>322022748
Where does ALLTYNEX Second Hard Mode rank on this list?
>>322044013
There are some good games. But to some they're hit or miss.
>>322028894
Crimson Clover is overrated
>>322022748
Does Sin and Punishment 1 and 2 count?
>>322049123
Anon do you carry stale pasta with you everywhere you go?
I don't know which bullet hell games are good.
I don't know where to get said bullet hell games.
>>322049624
Oh great, now you got pasta smeared all over the thread anon.
>>322022748
>Donte Must Die mode: any shmup by CAVE
Welp, guess I'm good then. God I'm just so pro, and I didn't even need a good score.
>>322031858
Not entirely true though, since Batsugun and DonPachi came before Battle Garegga.
>>322043281
Please list the boards on 4chan that you don't spam this same post over and over, cause I'm going to move there. You've been doing this for years and every board that even sometimes discusses games.
>>322050806
I honestly want to know the real answer.
>>322044013
>Dragon Blaze

fuck off
How do I git gud at Mushihimesama? I want to move beyond 2hu
>>322052920
Use the training mode to practice the parts that give you problems. If you press the Shot button on the stage select, you can switch between the start of the stage, the midboss, and the stage boss.
>>322052920
learn how to play the fucking game you muppet
>>322025084
We must be related. I have that same problem.
>>322032091
Suguri, QP Shooting, and Sora are all on Steam.
Well, Sora's coming in like a week, but still.
>>322022748
2hoe is much harder than zanac
I've never played a real shmup. Is it all just learning and executing patterns?
What should I play if I really like Cho Ren Sha?
>>322054703
nah
zanac doesn't even give you bombs or homing shot types
