CAVE announces next Steam port on the 26th.
Give these a try! https://www.mediafire.com/folder/nz0227tzb9zor/shmupmame
recording Crimson Clover takes too much fucking bitrate.
>>125141857
What, is there too much shit going on at once?
>>125142260

Not even a pattern with lots of bullets or in break mode, there's just so many stars.
>>125141857
>29 mbs
Well, the shitload of stars are part of the charm. Still, I wish you luck in recording CC anon.
Someone wanna tell me what the best controller to use for shumps? I feel like even the the xbox one controller is fucking floaty doesnt have enough small movements/to sensitive
>>125144167
Saturn Controller or Keyboard.
>>125141348
Thanks op for making new thread.
>>125145028
No problem.
Shame last thread got killed by spam.
>>125141857
>>125142260
>>125142516
Yeah, CC is a bit ridiculous at times.
>>125146208
I'm suprised I can even understand what's going on sometimes. It' 's amazing in a way.
>lose a life on the first stage
>so salty that you keep playing to punish yourself with a shitty run
>end up 1cc'ing the game with a high score
>>125148503
I'm just starting to get into shmups and I still play through after I die. I'm currently playing Gun wings but the bosses are a bit difficult for me.
>>125148503
>>125148845
Man, these days I get salty and reset if I die in stage 2. I need to learn to push through after; I'm not good enough to play for score anyway, it's not like it'll be an nmnb.
>>125148503
Lucky bastard
I just get a useless run when I get hit.
Are there any worthwhile STG on 3DS aside from Recca?
>>125153354
Not exactly 3DS but there's always Nanostray 2.
>>125153354
>Recca on the 3DS
The hell
How did I not know this
Is Siter Skain working on anything right now? It's been a long time since Alltynex Second.
Is it just me, or is Stage 5 of Alltynex a bit bullshit? I cant deal with those explosive barrels at all and those enemies that come from the bottom if the screen are so annoying.
>>125141857
>he still plays CC when it's all-style-no-substance: The Shmup
it's time to buy Mooshy and leave that doujin filth behind, anon
>>125165030
Let anon play whatever shmup his heart desires.
Slow day over at /shmupg/ today. You guys better bring tales of the great 1ccs you achieved today.
>>125169839
no 1cc, but I did beat sine mora today for the first time. going to take a little break and then I'll play through again on challenging
I know it gets a lot of hate, but I enjoyed it
>>125148503
Funny you should say that, because after a disastrous start I FINALLY beat Alltynex Second
>>125144167
I use an XBox 360 controller with Turbo support, which is quite good. The d-pad sucks but playing with analogue stick is ok.
An arcade stick still would be much better though.
>>125169839
I almost 1cced Ikaruga on Normal. Died 2 seconds before the Stone-Like would have been finished. Still beat my old highscore though, so it's not too bad.
How hard is RefleX? From what little I've played it looks like you can just spam your shield and avoid almost everything.
>>125169839
I keep fucking up the stage 2 midboss link
I can't build up hypers fast enough
>>125178915
What game is that again?
>>125179117
daioujou black label
>>125177137
No one? Cmon guys you must have played this, this game is awesome.
>>125188797
red > blue
Futari slowdown is fucking awful. I don't know how anyone copes with this shit.
Why couldn't they have made it so it doesn't just cut off in the middle of an attack with absolutely no warning.
>>125169839
Ikaruga anon here again. After a bit more practice, I finally beat Ikaruga now. Zero lives were left though. 19 mil score
Now the real challenge begins...
I wish Sega would start manufacturing Saturn pads again
>>125194285
Dont worry anon, >>125174000 here. I also cleared the game with exactly one life left.
You planning to do Hard Mode now?
>>125194889
>You planning to do Hard Mode now?
Yea, I guess it would be the best time to start practicing it now, before I adjust myself too much on normal.
>>125195335
Good luck with that anon. I couldnt even begin to image how you're supposed to clear the game when everything you destroy returns fire.
>>125195934
Thanks, I will need the luck. It will be hard, especially at the start, because I totally have to change my tactics in many areas, but with enough practice everything is possible.
Can't stop listening to this song.

Pick one. Or have some real humbleness insted
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzIogZMp4_Y

I said it was more humble, not that it was humble in general.
But whatevs, have another track.

They are all kicking my ass.
>>125208005
Stop eating so many prunes you fat cow!
>>125208303
I dont have any more pictures of Chaika eating prunes, so I guess you win today anon.
Should I buy Dariusburst or GGXrd, /shmupg/?
>>125208640
Darius obviously, fighting games are shit.
>>125208640
Follow your heart anon.That means support DariusNo pressure though.
>>125208640
Xrd will be dead soon so play that while you can
>>125208720
>he doesn't play shmups, fightans and hack n slashes while listening to underground hip-hop and doujin music
Come THE FUCK on, Anon. Come the fuck on.
>>125169839
No 1ccs, but I did play Dariusburst over at a friend's place on his PC, then give him pointers that almost got him a CCWI 1cc.
>>125177137
>>125185421
I find that it gets a lot trickier as it goes on.
>>125209813
Yeah I got a bit farther and found out that while it might look like the shield trivializes a lot of the game, you will need that fucking shield to survive.
The game looks really long too. I can already tell this is going to be quite the adventure.
>>125204346
Whoa! Someone put Final Fantasy Tactics' music into a shump?!

Woo, a port of a 30 year old PSP game. Big focking deal.
More Ketsui at http://www.ustream .tv/channel/taito-hey going on right now.
I want to hear some thoughts.
What attracts you to STGs?
What do you think would attract new blood to STGs?
>>125221385
>What attracts you to STGs?
I own more than 1 sega console
>>125221385
>What attracts you to STGs?
Challenge and that sense of pride when you survive the onslaught, where you can die anytime.
>What do you think would attract new blood to STGs?
Multiple difficulties and the shmup community not being a bunch of eltists, who expect too much out the beginners from the start.
>>125221924
I was wondering more about of what gameplay/aesthetics/musical styles draw you to the genre.
>>125221385
I think the difficulty and personal gratification I get from beating one. Like practicing a long time and when it finally pays off is a good ass feeling.
>>125215327
Same composers, so it's going to sound a bit similar. And fantastic.
>>125222052
I appreciate games I can turn on and play and feel engaged. A lot of games, especially modern ones are quite long and make you work for content (open world style games for example.)
I like typical arcade games, lightgun, shooters, fighting, pinball because I can just enjoy the gameplay.
Girly dress-up games with Reco.
How do you guys feel about shmups being so mixed with animu loli shit these past years?
Personally I hate it and would probably never buy a game that has that shit.
>>125226202
I dunno, don't really care as long as the gameplay is fun.
>>125226202
What if it was something in between? Cute young girls, but without the raw paedophile sex appeal and with a more serious tone?
Picture somewhat related.
>>125226964
>cute young girls
>without raw paedophile sex appeal
Yeah I dunno but that sounds kind of contradictory.
I just like my spaceships
>>125226202
I don't like most modern anime girls. I like anime girls like Akane and Hikaru
>>125226202
Speaking of animu loli shit, which game has it the most? Are there shmups that surpass Otomedius in that regard?
>>125227087
Oh, c'mon. I am sure you can tell there is a world of difference.
>>125227431
right pic is not pedo. Look at those legs and tits.
>>125227406
well deathsmiles is pretty much all lolis but it's not very lewd
>>125227525
My mistake, Otomedius is clearly geared towards mature, grown men with mature and refined tastes in both women and shooters.
It is the type of game best served along scotch, straight black coffee, and fine cigars.
Cave on the other hand.
>>125226553
This
>>125210350
I don't want to spoil anything but the fights near the end are awesome.They got me really pumped
>>125227760
I don't see how that is loli however I look at it. They're teenage girls.
>>125230160
And you are right. But the thing was
>cute young girls
>without raw paedophile sex appeal
Yeah, ok, to be fair, I fucked up. I should have never written paedophile sex appeal, but rather just raw sex appeal.
What I wanted to know from >>125227087 was if he could imagine himself enjoying/buying a anime children or teenage girls shooter where they weren't sexulised. Or if the practice of having little girls in video games was outright a no-buy for whatever reason.
>>125230951
>>125230951
>if the practice of having little girls in video games was outright a no-buy for whatever reason.
Depends on if there is 1 or 2 little girls in there along with a few other characters. A game full of little girls and one guy is too slice of life otaku for me.
>>125231726
I see, so it really is just a matter of context and shitty fanservice then?
>>125232218
yes
>>125226202
yeah If the aesthetics are loli candy land shit i'll probably pass.
>>125234141
how about these aesthetics??
>>125234647
>>125234781
>>125177137
I think it's the easiest game of the trilogy to 1cc.
>>125221385
>What attracts you to STGs?
The challenging and rewarding gameplay. Playing shmups on a high level is just one badass trip. I also like that it's a very introspective genre. I'm rather introverted in real life myself, and avoid contact to people wherever I can, so I guess that fits.
Also, the music and artstyle in shmups is just ultra cool. It just feels much more mature and beautiful when you compare it to other genres (except for the waifu stuff, but stuff like Mushihime is also still very aesthetic).
>>125226202
Shmups have always been mixed with anime stuff. Also with lolis (Cotton for example). I have no problem with this, as long as it is well made and we also still get games with just spaceships.
The genre is just not really popular anymore, so we see a lot of cheap rehashes, but I guess that's better than nothing.
>>125237581
Also, the gameplay of many modern Cave games for example is really not bad. The aesthetics are just full of otaku pandering, but like I said, it's better than nothing.
http://transition.tokyo/en
do you think we'll see some new games, or just more ports? we obviously know cave will be announcing the next steam port here, but hopefully someone else announces a brand new game
>>125239802
I'd like to think they'd have at least one new game to reveal to make this seem like a big deal.
>>125239802
Its possible
>>125239802
I thought they just anounced another Dodonpachi waifu game?
>>125241381
its some phone game that has to do with sdoj. Funnily enough its being programmed by Yagawa.
>>125234647
>>125234781
>>125234915
How big is the hitbox in Cho Aniki? The whole sprite or the crotch?
>>125221385
>What attracts you to STGs?
The sense of gratification from conquering a portion of the game that gives me trouble, and then the satisfaction of getting a 1cc.
>What do you think would attract new blood to STGs?
What >>125222032 said.
>>125226202
>How do you guys feel about shmups being so mixed with animu loli shit these past years?
I'm far too /jp/ to outright hate lolis in anything, but I wish there were more sugoi spaceships doing ganbatte things.
>>125243826
what about lolis that ARE sugoi spaceships?
>>125245373
Acceptable.
>>125243005
In one of those he dies from a bullet in the chest, so it's got to be bigger than just the crotch.
>>125234647
>>125234781
>>125234915
One of these days I need to give Cho Aniki a real try.
>tfw just pracicing Ikaruga hard mode on steam a bit and suddenly I'm already in the top 10
Feels like I'm almost the only one who plays this game on hard.
Also, what's up with all these hackers in highscore lists? Can't the devs just simply ban them? Kinda lazy from the devs.
>>125252537
They probably just gave up. You cant just get rid of hackers.
>>125252808
They probably wouldn't even notice it. I mean they obviously don't play the game anyway, so they also wouldn't notice if their score just got deleted.
>>125221385
>What attracts you to STGs?
I find the gameplay better when compared to other shooters. When I play platformers or run and gun games for example, I just feel cribbled somehow due to the lack movement options.
Even if he is easier than the Ultra version he is still annoying.
>>125254958
That attack is pretty much a forced bomb once the small bullets build up for long enough. I hate attacks like that.
>>125256262
I fucked up in the previous patterns way too much (even after a bit practice), so I was out of bombs at that point.
>>125254958
>>125256262
Yeah, resource checks as a final boss, even a tlb, are awful practice.
>>125226202
I wont lie, I'm getting a bit burned out on the somewhat generic anime style that a lot of japanese games have nowadays, but that's not enough to make me turn down a game if the gameplay is good enough.
>>125219771
Hey man, PSP games from 30 years ago are the shit, fuck everything from the last few years.
>>125221385
I think the main reasons I play shmups is that sense of accomplishment you get once you finally git gud. That, and the fact that shmups tend to have god-tier OST and art style.
In my opinion shmups are niche by nature, I doubt most people would want to invest the time and effort it takes to get the most out of this genre.
>>125208640
Late response, but Dariusburst is new.
how's Syder Arcade? I'll probably pick it up if it ever goes for $.99 again, but I'm curious if anyone here has played it
>you'll never play the complete version
>page 10
breh
Look /shmupg/, a free shmup!
>>>/v/320058336
>>125281693
I gotta be honest with you family, it looks like shit.
>>125283740
That *might* be true, but at least it's free to try.
Plus, dont tell me that. Go tell the guy making it.
>>125275370
Dont worry anon, I'll try it after finals and report back.
Hey /shmupg/, hopefully you can answer this question I have.
Why is there so much hate or dislike for Ikaruga? I'm not that well versed in shmups but it didnt seem THAT bad when I played it.
>>125295280
> I'm not that well versed in shmups
exactly.
>>125295280
I just don't like it.
>>125295382
Well can you at least help me understand a bit anon?
>>125296006
Overrated by people who don't know anything about shmups when it isn't that great.
Similar to how people who know little about touhou disproportionately like Cirno, or people who know little about videogames talk about a handful of mainstream games.
>>125295280
There isn't anything wrong with it. I know a common complaint is the game has you absorb bullets instead of dodging them. Also Lord Xoxak doesn't like it.Play Dimahoo instead.
>>125295280
Wait im not in the shump world just peeking in but inst that game a classic? even more so a dreamcast classic?
>>125296196
>>125296006
>>125295280
Not him.
So is it popular because it was a rare shump that was translated and brought over at the time?
>>125296337
As far as I know, Ikaruga got really popular amongst people outside of the usual shmup crowd, so it gets a disproportionate amount of praise by people who cant identify its flaws.
At least that's what I understand.
>>125296480
It wasn't particularly rare. It looked kinda cool and had good music. It was praised by people who didn't really play shmups and got talked about by a bunch of people who didn't play shmups very much.
I mean, think about Smash Bros and other fighting games.
>>125296337
>>125296757
yup, kind of like how europa universalis 4 and crusader kings 2 are hugely popular yet people in /gsg/ constantly shit on them and chose to play victoria 2 or hearts of iron instead
Is Tyrian a good game?
>>125295280
As a few people here have said, it mostly seems like a case where it's not bad, but it's liked by people that don't normally play shmups and they have a different perspective on what makes a shmup enjoyable.
>>125297950
I didn't like it, but I know several people that do so it might be.
>>125287381
I take it you own it but just haven't gotten around to playing it yet?
also fuck I didn't realize I was posting a fuckhuge png
>>125301030
Pretty much.
I have all these shmups I could be discussing here but cant because of fucking college.
>>125301030
>also fuck I didn't realize I was posting a fuckhuge png
At least it was cool looking.
>>125287381
Good luck on your finals.
>>125305958
Thanks anon, I'll need it.
What's the most impressive attack/bullet pattern you've seen in a shmup /vg/?
Is there a steam group or something? I just wanna chat about life and stuff with people that plays shmups.
>>125295280
It's basically Silvergun Lite with an improved (but still shit) scoring system and a gay as fuck gimmick: the bullet absorbing ship.
People only like it for the graphics and music.
>>125311148
The Mushi Ultra stage 3 boss's final attack is so cool looking, even if it's virtually impossible to actually dodge the thing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2tLjXYULfY
You can see the attack I'm talking about at around 10:39, along with the rest of the Ultra boss patterns.
>>125311586
>Steam
Harmful. Use this instead:
https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.rizon.net/?nick=Anon?&theme=cli#shmups
>>125312090
Just looking at that makes me nervous. How do people even manage to dodge shit like that?
>>125312727
By going full shmup. These superplayers seriously play their game all day every day to reach that kind of level.
>>125311148
The second part of the Maelstrom fight in Crimzon Clover on Unlimited is crazy. Visually stunning, at the very least.
https://youtu.be/aeWSCooKthE?t=57s
>>125313594
If only I had that kind of dedication.
>>125321992
Sometimes I do too, but then I realize how much fun I have playing lots of games at a decent level, and to me I feel like going full autist with a single game wouldn't be as fun.
>>125321992
You sure anon? Pic related took 7 years to clear. 7 y e a r s
>>125322243
If I enjoyed it, sure. Sometimes I don't feel I have it in me to get a really shitty clear, let alone work on actually getting good at a game.
>>125322413
More power to ya then. Hopefully I'll see you in 5 years once you cleared one of those crazy modes no one has ever done before anon.
>>125322996
Nah dude, I barely have the drive to do modes that lots of people have done.
>>125323150
No excuses. I'll be expecting to hear about you in 5 years anon.
if you arent asian you should give up on bullet hells
>>125324432
>most of the achievements in vidya that require obscene amounts of work and dedications are all done by asians
Really makes you wonder what's going up with their lives.
>>125324432
It's just asian parents pressuring them into shit.
>>125324432
But a lot of bullet hells aren't that bad if you play for survival, and there's literally nothing wrong with that.
>>125326452

I'm thinking DDP Ichimen Bancho is promotion for the SDOJ port since it's just a grinding version of SDOJ.
What is your favourite way of putting up an excuse so you can bump a thread that's about shmups?
>>125324432
>tfw shit at shmups because I'm not asian
>tfw shit at hack n slashes because I'm not asian
>tfw shit at fighting games because I'm not asian or black
W-well at l-least I have my white male privilege.
>>125342497
Thats what I am thinking also.
>>125343460
It's because you don't play enough.
>Yusemi: Each time I practiced, I would continue after dying and play through to the end. During each session I spent about 2000 yen (1 play is 50 yen, so ~40 credits worth). I spent most of the time refining my patterns, and I would also practice just dodging (without firing) boss patterns that I still felt unsure about or wanted to increase my experience with. The most I ever spent in a single day practicing was 20000 yen (~400 credits).
>>125295280
Modern STG community is cancerous as fuck, since it's pretty much dead. It's just full of danmaku waifu tards and hipsters, especially here.
And they simply can't stand it when a modern shmup which is not generic danmaku crap gets relatively popular.
>>125342497
Makes sense. Is SDOJ confirmed to be coming at any time? I'm pretty sure they announced privately on system11 that MushiFutari is the next game in the pipe.
>>125345003
Man, this is my favorite meme. Especially since Ikaruga is a bullet hell.
>>125345176
>Especially since Ikaruga is a bullet hell.
Ikaruga is not bullethell. It has bullethell elements but it's mainly a methodical shooters in the veine of R-Type. Same goes for Radiant Silvergun or Gradius V.
Gradius V also has a smaller hitbox and can have a shitton of bullets on screen, but this doesn't mean it's bullethell.
>>125345176
The new port is going to be announced on the 26th. I haven't seen anything about Futari on system11.
Everyone ignore this retard >>125345364
>>125345713
>The new port is going to be announced on the 26th. I haven't seen anything about Futari on system11.
Maybe it's just a rumor that's going around, but I've seen it in several other threads here and on other sites.
>>125148503
I try that, but the first death just sends me into a spiral of bad play following it.
>>125153354
Some cool classics on there like Twinbee that have a really fun layered 3d effect, or the non-traditional Space Harrier is dope for similar good use of 3d.
>>125209076
He gets it. HE GETS IT! I was playing Darius and blasting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ5ZcPBdfns.
>>125295280
Because it's edgy, anon. There really isn't anything wrong with it, but average gamers picked it up back in the Dreamcast / Gamecube releases and ranted about how hard it was, triggering all the crazy fringe stgers. Just like what you like.
Also fuck me, I still keep dying on ADH. I don't want to be Violently Ruled anymore.
>>125343436
I usually ask what people think about a game
what do you guys think about raystorm? I love rayforce, but haven't checked out either of the sequels yet. should I go with mame or ps1?
New CAVE iOS a shit
Cannot read moon
Twitter pop-ups everywhere
Mandatory ads following each stage clear
>>125350165
It just looks like a quick teaser of a SDOJ port (hopefully).
>>125343460
I'm white, but that doesn't stop me from being good at shmups (and fightans to some degree).
>>125345364
Aren't gradius v's higher loops danmaku though?
>>125345176
Ikaruga isn't even modern if you really want to get your STG panties in a twist think about Nuclear Throne for a second.
>>125350165
>Mandatory ads following each stage clear
Well of course. Did you think they were going to release a free game with no way to get money out of it?
So the "new" Cave game is just ad-ridden phone port of SDOJ. Whatever. Just give me SDOJ on Steam please.
>>125278240
I'm still waiting to see what those 2 other upgrades would be.
What's the best version of MAME if I want to play DFK/Deathsmiles? Shmupmame hasn't been updated since 2013.
>>125343436
Hey, at least I try to disguise my bumps.
>>125359705
I thought one needed a very outdated version of MAME to even run DFK and Deathsmiles.
Or was that just SDOJ?
>>125363605
there was a time where they had removed the driver that could play newer caves games, but it's back in regular mame now
>>125363809
But is there a version that deals with input lag, like shmupmame, but for sh3 games?
>>125363968
No. The SH3 emulation is also terrible.
>>125364487
>The SH3 emulation is also terrible.
Such a shame.
>>125329114
Are you Asian, or Asian American? There is an important difference
>>125345364
Just because Ikaruga has some levels with walls doesn't make it not a bullet hell, anon.
Also, most shmups with good scoring systems are methodical, bullet hell or otherwise.
Do you guys always play with in-game music, or do you mute the game and put your own music in the background?
>>125372685
False advertising, no lolis in any of the images
>>125374040
While practicing I'll play my own music, but if I'm actually playing I go by in-game.
>>125374040
Muted unless the OST was by Manabu Namiki, then I have it turned all the way up.
Which do you prefer, /stg/:
>shmup where the ship moves ~0.5x speed diagonally
>shmups where the ship moves the same speed diagonally
>>125374040
In-game all the way, unless the game has truly horrible audio.
>>125374040
I have something on in the background while practicing, usually video, so I just have the game on low volume. If I'm getting annoyed I turn the voices and possibly the bgm completely off. There's only so many times I can hear Larsa say '私の…私のかわいいアキを…よくも~!" and retain my sanity.
>>125374040
Depends on the game. If the game has voices they get shut off. If the OST is good I turn it up.
>>125372685
Factual errors, I fixed it up for you.
>>125375105
>voices
Oh god, yeah those get muted almost immediately.
>>125376939
>brain damage.jpg
Show me a game where the wall is a square with the word wall painted on it.
>>125381230
Right after you show me one with "static wall" painted on it.
>>125381469
There's not one that's my point. All frames in that image are the result of brain damage.
>>125381629
So you're taking something that's figurative, demanding a literal representation, and then saying others have brain damage?
>>125374040
Usually I listen to touhou music while playing videogames.
>>125374040
I play Ketsui and you really need the backround music to play that fucking game, at least on stage 1, 2 and 5, the music syncing is key.
>>125374820
Shmup where the ship moves ~0.5x speed diagonally. By the way, why is the movement speed on Garegga so weird?, I don't really get adapted to it.
>>125382930
Some ships are faster than others.
>>125384253
Your mothership been telling you stories about me again eh?
>>125385175
okay, I laughed
Are Mushi's leaderboards suddenly fucked for anyone else? I get permanent slowdown whenever I try to see them or when I finish a run and enter my score. Also my last highscore didn't update on the leaderboards.
THAT'S IT
I'VE HAD IT
IT'S TIME WE SETTLED THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL

>implying there was ever a doubt of jets being way cooler.
>>125389874
>jets
>cooler
But that's wrong, you retarded faggot.
>>125389874
Jets are for dogfight games like Ace Combat. Helicopters actually can move like a shmup ship.
>>125389997
It's about 50/50 at this moment.
>>125382930
Because Yagawa doesn't know how to program correctly.
>>125388131
Huh, that's weird. Something similar happens to me. Every time I turn on the game the framerate just tanks for a couple of seconds.
I have no idea what's up with that.
>>125393826
You're just getting the full experience of CAVE's patented slowdown. Sit back and enjoy the deliberateness.
>>125374040
Why would I mute the music when most shmups have god-tier OST? Seriously, muting them would be a waste, especially when some shmups sync the best part of the songs with the best parts of boss fights.
>>125374820
>>shmup where the ship moves ~0.5x speed diagonally
Can you give some examples of shmups like this?
>>125400349
dodonpachi
strikers 1945
gradius
truxton
I've seen that remix of Thunder Force 4 posted everywhere so I wanted to ask, is it worth playing? Or is that one track all that's noteworthy about it?
>>125372685
You can play Ikaruga with hardly seeing any bullets at all. It's completely different from bullethell cancer.
>>125410421
I love this meme.
>>125410421
>It's completely different from bullethell cancer
Just fuck off back to /vr/ with your "methodical > everything else" garbage.
>>125410421
Yeah man, practically nothing. You tell these danmaku waifu somethingu faggots to get the hell out of OUR type of video games!
This time without some fag's watermark.
Why does every shump community devolve into "what I like is good, everything else is cancerous bullshit that should die out already"?
>>125416191
inherently autistic genre
plus it's super small. when very few games come out you don't want the majority of them to be things you hate
it's not like rpgs where there's something for everyone all the time
>>125416191
The non-subgenre-war-shitposters are too busy playing.
>>125416191
STG cult memes.
>>125416191
It's very normal for people who like a genre to fight over what's best for it (see: Dota vs LoL, CS vs COD, Quake vs UT, etc).
Bullet hells got me into playing shmups seriously but I have also played and respect more traditional shmups.
>>125410679
>>125414289
>boss cherry picking
Also, most of the "bullets" are basically just lasers anyway.
