I'm on a budget guys but what would be a good cheap shmup title to purchase? I was thinking Raiden IV.

>>140487026
beggars can't be choosers.
need help to id a freeware pc shmup
actually it's not even a proper shmup but a "sandbox" where you load "boss files" or a bunch of those then fight them
it had a very good editor where you could piece parts together to create bosses/fodder and allowed a lot of scripting to the point you could create a proper shmup with stages, boss with multiple phases that could split into multiple sub bosses etc.
i'm not talking about warning forever (it has nothing to do with what i said but every time i ask somebody mentions it)

I'd rather play vs fighting than waste 8 hours a day on shmups if I was Japanese.
why there aren't any vs shmups? i understand direct shooting each other would be silly but there's ways to make it work like the puzzle bobblesque approach pcb did (killing shit and combos by one player brings more shit in the other's screen)
>>140488543
there's pofv

>>140488587

>>140487823
Pretty good, waifu tier.
>>140488543
people who play shmups don't want head to head competition like that
and
people who want head to head competition don't want shmups
>>140487823
It's decent. If you can't enjoy the waifus then you probably won't like it, though. You have to play the lower difficulties for a while before you get enough cards and EXP to power up and be capable of doing well in the harder difficulties.
>>140489153
Then there's actual superplayers like KTL-NAL who get WR in shmups and wins VF tournies.
>>140489767
and even he doesn't give a fuck about versus shmups

Reminder that the Western community doesn't have scores, on MAME or otherwise, that would overtop any of the Japanese records, so the issue remains a hypothetical one.
>>140488543
Does anyone here play pofv?
>>140487219
Japan doesn't acknowledge scores unless they're done in a certified arcade and confirmed by the operator
>>140498456
japanese players don't play on anything but console and arcade bro
MAME = cheating to them
>>140498964
it's incredibly easy to bullshit console runs too by repeatedly pausing, plus the ports aren't 100% arcade accurate
mame really doesn't give you an advantage compared to playing the port and every japanese player i've seen on twitter only uses the port to practice
i should probably try this on hell mode since this was my literal second credit
I'm glad that Cave has a bloomer-sniffing station. While the West panders to people that get offended over everything normal people don't care about, the East panders to people that offend normal people.

That's a bit cringeworthy. But I don't get offended by shit like this. I just laugh at how ridiculous it is.
>>140506781
I'm sure it's not very serious to anyone over there, either.
>M2 licensed this game from Cave and is paying for/publishing the release themselves, so it's separate to Cave's plans for PC and everywhere else.
>Cave's recently been hiring people for the explicit purpose of making new STG and their next game started production at the end of February, IIRC. I have no idea what it is but they've been talking up multi-platform development a lot recently, including in their recent financial report, so I suspect it may be a PC game that's then reconfigured for smartphones.
Sounds like bullshit but I believe it.
There's a cheap little bundle that has a lot of shmups in them. Even has Space Moth DX in there as well.

its not like any game i play now doesnt have autofire by default( thanks yagawa) or has a very low button press to fire rate
>>140518348
>yagawa invented autofire
That's a nice new meme you got there anon, mind if I give it a spin?
>>140518348
the autofire button in CAVE games behaves differently from pressing the A button
with the A button there is a much larger minimal amount of shot you can release, with the C button you can control your fire way better as if you slightly tap it you release just 1 burst
it's pretty damn important in scoring
>>140518526
where did i say that, i meant in games that i play which is mostly yagawa games
>>140508737
Fighting games are still thriving at least.
>>140518348
Garegga has semi-autofire, you have to mash at first and then hold down the button to keep the same rate going as if you were mashing.

PGM being cave's peak is a meme that will end if they stop fucking up their pc ports though
>>140565282
It's just the resident Ikaruga fag applying a meme he doesn't understand, ignore it.
>>140565282
I'd just like to interject for a moment, what you're referring to as STG is actually puzzle/STG, or as I've recently taken to calling it, puzzle+STG.
>>140565918
I don't think that makes sense either.
today i tried reading threads on normie websites about the dfk and dangun ports
never again
>>140566226
I didn't even know normie websites were talking about the dfk and dangun ports. I'll bet dangun were variations on "this old shit?", but I can't begin to think of what cancer is being said about dfk.
>>140566470
in summary:
most people are actually excited about both
a couple people want them to fix their current steam ports
other people are trying to """prevent bitter console players from spreading false rumors about the PC ports so everyone will buy the superior steam versions"""
and some other literally whos are acting like ultimate shmup masters
>>140567326
So now I don't get what the problem is, that doesn't sound particularly awful I was expecting cries of "pedophiles" and "hipsters" getting tossed around like party favors.
>>140566226
>about the dfk
What's the DFK?
>>140567326
>So now I don't get what the problem is

>>140574029
Yeah, but Ketsui is Cave's magnum opus, and DOJ is the best DDP, so that puts PGM pretty high up there.
68K just has DDP, and Dangun if you're into Toaplan-style junk.

>>140574260
>68K just has DDP, and Dangun if you're into Toaplan-style junk.
Mm no it has esprade and Guwange to so like i said that's a complete range of great games, i think ketsui is the best game to but PGM was gash hardware and it definitely shows. Compare esprade to espgaluda which is ugly as fuck unless you like brown.
>>140574508

>>140575559
>muh retarded boss milking
Sure it's an oversight but you can simply not do it unless you want to pretend you were planning on wr or something which we both know you aren't. The art and design of the game is still top tier.
>>140575559
>muh stage-long chainz
And again proving you are a one trick pony unable to adapt to different challenges it's still one of the most original and best executions for a stg and a great looking/sounding game. If you want to pick a legitimate issue with guwange you could of said how unbalanced the stage 3 boss milking makes the game for scoring runs in which case i'd suggest blue label as it's fully re balanced and removes everything annoying about the original, keeping the chain is easier overall. Any other plebian non points you want to try raising?

cautious bump
>>140594167
>>140594767
I don't really know, myself. All I can gather is that it's generally seen as being even easier than the first Deathsmiles. I'm not sure how scoring works in Deathsmiles 2 but I think it's a lot simpler than the first one or something, so that might be a factor.
On a non-gameplay note, all the characters seem to have been flanderized a bit compared to the first game, and they kicked the fanservice up to 11. As mentioned, the art style got noticably worsealthough I think Windia's really cute in DS2.
I honestly would like a Deathsmiles 2 port at some point, especially if it comes with an English translation because I'm just... like that. While I certainly don't think it should've been this third port, I hope that it can still happen in the future.

Psyvariar 2
Best random Xbox ISO I ever downloaded.
>>140626391
psyvariar 1 (both medium unit and revision) are cool as hell too, revision might even be better than 2
shame they never got ported to a modern console or steam

Who?
Where are the shmups /shmupg/
You promised me shmups
DDP stage 6 is rough as hell. Thought it'd end up being easier than stage 5 - but the green spread enemies and the boss are pretty hellish.
>>140633276
I don't think it's much worse than 5 desu, maybe even easier

This game is way too fucking easy. I know this because I suck at shmups.
>>140636289

Agreed, revision is my favourite overall although 2s gluon battle is pretty epic.

socially inept autistic german who views all advice as fight talk and needs 400 hrs to get a clear.
No idea how good the game actually is but ESP Ra.De has some of the best aesthetics I've ever seen in a shooting game.
>>140638547
It's 009xxxx something. I didn't beat it though but I went pretty damn far.. for a n00bie. It doesn't show the high score list for osme fucking reason
>>140639818
Indeed and it's amazing, the only flaw is the stupidly long boss timers if you plan on milking that is but it's still a top tier game.
>>140640071
It's on my list of future games to play for score now, will probably avoid milking though.
>>140640063
Well, score doesn't matter unless you clear.You'll see why when you do.
>>140640484
Enlighten me anon. I feel like the game isn't hard enough if I cannot go past the second stage. I think it's weird I can go further than that.I cannot go past the second stage in Gungeon I suck
