Edited the OP a bit. Fucked up >other links but the rest should be fine.
Firsecond for Hell is already here.
3rd for not buying DFK because it's ass.
4th for not buying Mecha Ritz because it's booty
5th for not buying DBCS because it's jewish
>>145076625
Quality has its price!
7th for not buying Ke-Tsu-No-Ana because it's the definition of kusoge
>>145078018
now this i can agree with
>>145078018
And looks likeass.
>>145078138
It has some charm to it (the ship designs look nice), but it's really weird to play and too difficult imo.
Mecha Ritz is pretty rad desu
>>145078232
>Man of the Spear
>Twin Bags
>Hank
tfw you want to play Touhou all day, but studying has to be done
>>145080125
The main problem with the game, imo, is that it has bullethellish patterns in an isometric view, which makes the dodging in it really awkward.
It would be a lot better, if it had no shield, but therefor more simple bullet patterns.
>>145083447
it's worth it for the glorious ending
>>145082434
tfw u want to play moeshitsama all day but have to work
>>145084136
I never got past the second stage, the game is too difficult, and the bullet cancelling is really weird.
Is Mushihimesama Futari the hardest shmup? If not, which ones are harder?
>>145088340
the original Daioujou is seen as hardest, but it's a meme rating because who'd really play that just to clear?
>>145088340
Ikaruga hard mode double play is the hardest shmup.
How are you guys taking screenshots in Mecha Ritz? Neither print screen or the Steam option seems to be working for me
>>145088340
my dong is harder
>>145088685
who really plays any shmup just to clear?
>>145089247
Yeah, who would think of doing such a thing?
>>145089934
If you find any such people make sure to bully them out of /shmupg/!

>mfw i play 2hu just to clear

Don't feel bad, nobody bothers playing Touhou for score anyway.

it's okay, we all started somewhere, anon
>>145091393
actually they're really mostly good for scoring, since otherwise it's pretty easy to bombspam them

>>145097723
Just think about games (shmup or not) that you're much better at than other people you know. That might make you feel better. From their eyes, maybe you're a superplayer that breezes through parts that they can't pass at all!

>>145099783
>>145099884
Isn't that a good way to feel? He found out that he's a superplayer in Overwatch so of course he says fuck shmups, meanwhile you can't get good in literally the genre of your choice.
>>145099783
>>145099884
all the good shmups have been played to death and nobodys making new games worth a shit, this meme genre's dead. jump on the overwatch bandwagon and never look back
>>145100201
i'm not even the overwatch superplayer btw. i play shmups mainly but overwatch is more fun. wake me up when cave makes a new game instead of badly porting x360 games to steam
>>145100241
>>145100356
go back to >>>/v/
Heh, I like how you can still do that.
Is it possible to get good without talent?
>>145100356
Problem with arena shooters is that they always throw you together with literal retards, so you lose 50% of matches without being able to do anything against it.
The only good arena shooter is Hawken anyway.
Published another video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3YcFlwxKP0
A Mushihimesama Original 1cc by Amber.
I think I'm going to try and upload a video either once per day or once every 2 days. As long as I have replays to upload, that is.
Any feedback is welcome as always.
>>145101795
play for 1000 hours. talent means you're a fast learner. if you don't have any you must make use of your autism.
>>145101875
Overwatch isn't an arena shooter. It's about classes and team composition. But you're right, if you play by yourself you'll get retards all the time. You have to get gud enough to carry them or get some friends.
>>145102501
>Overwatch isn't an arena shooter
It's about shooting in an arena. Sounds like arena shooter to me.
>>145102281
I'll see in a year I guess.

>>145103071
I have 5 replays left to upload.
Maybe it'd be a better idea to publish 1 per week or something instead. What do you guys think?
>>145101931
>not 60fps
>>145103264
1 week seems like a pretty long time.
2 days sounds good to me.
>tfw you need a lot of time to improve but you don't want your playtime to go up and make you feel bad for it, but you feel bad for being bad for not having practiced
NOW THIS IS AUTISM
>>145103627
shouldn't care about playtime desu
>>145103706
I know what it is: it is the home equivalent of worrying about your own efficiency at the arcade because you have to drop 100 yen ($1) there for every credit.

>>145103264
I'd try to upload daily. This way more people would follow you, and you probably also would get more replays send in.
Easiest way to play Battle Garegga on my PC? I haven't had much luck with Saturn emulation and I tried to download MAME and it just gives me an error every time I try and run a game. Dunno what the deal is.
Is there a significant difference between the two versions anyway?
Also - if I really liked Kamui is it worth playing RefleX?
>>145101875
I love OW and I can agree with that
Isn't Hawken kind of dead though
>>145106157
download the mame pack in the op
>>145106157
>Isn't Hawken kind of dead though
Last time I played (2 months ago or so), it still had plenty of players. Some developer started to take over, that's why.
>>145106263
aw fuck, cool. What does the pack come with? Pre-setup MAME + some games?
>>145106528
aw fuck even cooler. I'll give it a try. Does it give me a lot of customization options?
The bombs in Mushihimesama feel really stupid. It doesn't even make any sense to cancel bullets with this tiny dump.
>>145107035
You're supposed to be aiming them
>>145107608
Yea, they don't make any damage otherwise, right?
Anyway, some kind of hyper laser would have been cooler imo.
>>145107835
I like it, you have to pull off nice bombs, not just 'press b to kill everything onscreen'
>>145108154
Yea, but why does it cancel bullets, if you actually have to aim with it? It doesn't make any sense.
If it's for attack purpose, the bombs are cool, but for defense it looks realy stupid.
>>145102281
But doesn't autism = talent to begin with?
The best part about 2hu is the music honestly...
>>145108720
no, I'm autistic and shit
>>145105150
Nice one faker kusodj
>>145108905

Look in the OP.
People leave, things break...but shmups...
Shmups are forever
>>145110889
You can always play vanilla version.
So how does mr scoring and stuff work?
MECHA_SR pirate where
Let's put KBR before all our names
>>145114159
Already planning on adopting this in future
>>145114159
>>145114315
What is your name then?
>>145114424
who cares? We are using it as a team name.
>>145114789
I want to know who gets in my team though. Did you even score in anything?
>>145115389
Your team??? hahaha no mate it's all of ours now AND WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO? FUCK OFF.
How you like them apples?
>>145115685
Are you 12 and American?
>>145112978
In original it's fucking up the rank as bad you can and memerunning to the end with a bit of scorebombing.
Steel Rondo is basically the same, but adds little destructible cores on bosses and multiplier based on how fast/close you kill enemies. Also removes end of game bonus and points for bullet cancelling.
>>145116065
No i'm a kraut.
>>145116207
>tfw they removed magnification
Pushing the rank as high as it can go while going as fast as possible is what made the scoring system enjoyable, it's a shame they removed it in Steel Rondo.
>>145116461
Echt jetzt? was spielst du denn so immer?
>>145116936
We won the war so don't have to speak your shitty language, soz lad.

>>145088713
Answer me niggers
>>145117360
Go into the game's files, rename Launcher.exe to something else, then copy MECHA_SR.exe and rename it to Launcher.exe, after that you can run it in steam and still have the ability to take screenshots.
Bump
>>145117546
Cheers lad
Anyone want to explain the scoring in Mecha Ritz? I understand you want to get hit as little as possible to keep the rank up
>>145120192
Acquire points.

>>145125979
Yeah (and 1/4th Japanese), that's why I used her for the pic.I was hoping someone would point that out. Thank you anon.
>>145126391
yeah, I read LB! quite some time ago but that CG looks from Kud Wafter, amirite?
>>145106157
RefleX is alright, but I don't like it nearly as much as Kamui.
>>145127034
Not sure. ItKudbe but I've actually never read Little Busters or Kud Wafter, just watched the anime. Been wanting to try reading LB though, just haven't really found the right motivation to start yet.
Kind of like why I'm not practicing shmups right now.
>>145122416
hey baby your still legal in my state ;)
>>145124719
I think the previous ban was 8 years ago...but it sure feels like we are getting banned from 4chan all the time.
is there anyway to add new games into the MAME download in the OP
>>145132180
Download the roms for them, but they have to be able to run in that shmupmame version.

>Mecha Ritz Steel Rondo
People are telling me this game is hard. I suck at shmups and have a good time with it but this one is super fucking easy. On top of that the "shields" you have are easy to find. To me, I treat them as another 1UP.
>>145140818
Whos saying its hard?
>>145140801
thanks
>>145140917
From all the reviews I've read about it. Steam Reviews, various articles about it.
>>145140818
>People are telling me this game is hard.
Literally nobody says Mecha Ritz is hard.
>>145141086
Of course those people would say its hard. There were two people here last night that said they 1cc the game first try.
>>145140917
>>145141109
>MR's big gimmick is that it adjusts the game's difficulty on the fly, according to players performance's, and awards higher scores to higher difficulty runs. This isn't a new concept, having been done many times before in a variety of ways, but Mecha Ritz executes it with a very special flavor. When you play well, the game's difficulty ramps like an out of control roller coaster, providing instant feedback and a dazzling light show of chaos.
>>145141282
>"But wait!" you might be shouting while raising your finger inquisitively, "doesn't that mean the game must be really really hard? I don't like the sound of being punished for doing well". Well, actually, the games difficulty drops just as fast and as hard as it rises (once again, going back to the roller coaster analogy).
>Mecha Ritz is a shoot em up game with a strong focus on its adaptive rank system which increases and decreases the difficulty depending on your actions in the game. As a result of this system, clearing the game is pretty easy. I'm a mediocre shmup player and was able to clear it on my first attempt with several lives left over.
>Most other shmups (bullet hells especially) straight-up keep you from going to later levels if you play on easy or use continues. In Mecha Ritz, I didn't get punished for being awful with no ending, I got to fight a really cool boss and won while I was one hit away from death. This game makes it easy for me to enjoy the bullet hell experience while still feeling like I'm actually good at the game.

shmups are the worst genre to play when you are depressed
Who is the true last boss of MR and how do I get it? Is it that girl with tons of health and patterns?
>>145152185
Aw, I'm not doing that.
>>145152930
Yes. Condition is getting to the last stage with time still on the clock, otherwise you fight her teddy bear
>>145155403
So I 1cc'd the game and its true last boss first try? Why is it so easy?
>>145140818
its hard to play for score since it forces you to play on high rank, but just for clearing its ez
hell the first 2 credits i played i got to the bear boss then the tlb
>>145155486
Playing for score makes the game a lot harder
>>145155720
Like all shmups
>>145142148
i just started that yesterday and i didnt realize i had watched the first 2 episodes before

My hand always gets so cramped when playing Crimzon Clover, from all the constant lock-on charging. It's really exhausting to play this.
Didn't even clear
>>145155781
no, but literally, because you have to jack up the rank
So Mecha Ritz has branching paths, can someone explain how they work? Do you get different stages/bosses depending on your rank?
Mecha Ritz a shit, it can't even save the thread.
