You're all pumped from clearing a stage and this simple but upbeat song starts blasting, that's the kind of thing which makes me happy.
is otemedius worth 7 bucks?
>>146487876
I still couldn't get myself to order. I am poorfag and still not sure if it's really worth it.
>>146488259
Nope. Otomedius is garbage.
>>146488473
It's completely worth it for the proper enjoyment of any arcade shmup. The joystick actually subtly changes your entire playstyle. Nothing is quite the same.
>>146488259
Sure. Not a big fan of this waifu stuff in it, but the gameplay looks acceptable.
What is the most methodical shooting game of all time?

What are some good shmups to play while trapped forever on an island with a bunch of inbred retards?
>>146488817
Radiant Silvergun
>>146489040
What are some good shmups where your scoring system/currency has no value?
>>146488817
For survival play I'd say Radiant Silvergun.
For scoreplay I'd say Crimzon Clover WI Original mode.
>>146489098
Your score always has a value to your sense of self-worth, so anything with no score or anything that can be counterstopped.
If you mean in-game, I think that's the majority of shmups, games with shops/upgrades seem fairly rare to me
>>146489547
I didnt like Mars Matrix though.
>>146489098
R-Type Final has completely useless scoring, since you basically can get infinite score at the endboss.
>>146489603
HERESY
microwaved grilled cheese is not a recommended shmup snack
>>146489732
Use a pan next time
>>146489547
Knowing CAVE this would literally be running below 1 FPS. Is that what the picture suggests? Yeah, Mars Matrix would be better than this garbage, but it's nonsensical. Compare it with a real game.
>>146489732
was it velveta
>>146489635
Although, I'm not really sure how the endboss behaves at R-typer difficulty, so maybe milking it wouldn't be possible anymore.
>>146489810
What Cave STG's don't suffer from horrendous slowdown? I can only think of Dangun Feveron.
Still the magnum opus of Gradius games.
>>146487678

Specifically horrendous? That would be on the level of Futari Ultra. Not a lot of games have that.

>>146495887
Well, it was obviously not a really serious project. For being done by a single person, the game is pretty impressive though.

Dariusburst looks kinda boring to me - well, compared to most good bullet hell shooters that is. Especially from cave. The music lacks variety, the backgrounds are plain boring and the bullet patterns are a joke. They should just release Mushihimesama and Deathsmiles to the PS4 and sell this for 10$ instead of 60$ (EU price).
>>146509169

>>>146480567
There's nothing wrong with not sharing your replays. In fact, the shmup community would be better off all high level players stopped sharing replays. Everyone would have to learn to think for themselves instead of mimicking what they see.
>>146509807

Muchi Muchi Porku?
just remake the touhou games with fighter ship graphics and remove all other waifushit """shmups""" from existence, god I'm so mad
>>146512720
If you're mad at touhou just play something else, plenty of other fish in the belser invasion
Who's your shipfu, /shmupg/?
>>146512720
this would make me so happy. waifus are the cancer killing shmups.
>>146512967

There's literally nothing wrong with cute girls.

>>146512814
I've played touhou for the longest time
spaceships and fighter jets are just always cooler
>>146513101
nothing's killing shmups, because shmups are already dead, lol
>tfw sdoge doesn't have a loop because it's the real deal and not a test flight alluding to it being caves last game
Damn....
>>146514283
Would you play a parallel universe version of Mushihimeaama without Reco? It would just be the beetle flying with appropriate changes.
>>146514631
>Would you play Space Moth DX?
>>146514631
Would you play a parallel universe Deathsmiles without Casper? It would be just the scissors chomping by themselves.
>>146514631
No but I would play one with a cute bara boy pilot :*
>>146513220
but anon you'd have to just become basically a brain in a jar unable to do anything but be a rad shipactually that sounds cool now that im actually saying it
>>146509807
no bully
>>146514631
Would you play a parallel universe Mushihimesama with only cute girls and no bugs? All the enemies and bosses would be replaced with anime girls of various sizes; Reco would mount and fly on the back of another cute girl.
It's cute girls all the way down
>>146515793
No, absolutely not. The only way anything like this would be acceptable is if it was a shmup based on the mangabondage fairies
>>146516378
I HATE CUTE THINGS
>>146514432
tfw raiden 5 looks amazing but dont have a boner to play it
>>146515709
I'm bad with this game. How did you through this? It doesn't even have pattern, fuck I hate rng games.
banp
>>146519625
Same
>>146519625
tfw raiden 5 gets ported to steam
>>146521510
>It doesn't even have pattern
Yes it does. Everything in that game has a pattern. Some are easier to learn than others.I've vastly improved and do well except in the unlikely event that I get all melee weapons. I regularly make it to the stage before the final boss but I'm still working on that one.
>>146526168
Hopefully.
Given enough time.
>>146526168
Thoughts? Anything else I should be getting (or should not be getting)
>>146527085
get what ever you like friend :)
i'd recommend space moth tho since its only 2 bucks, really fun game
>>146527085
Got Raiden III?
>>146512720
I'm fairly interested in this idea. It'd give me a reason to go for Touhou 1ccs again
>>146527469
No, is it good/better than 4?
>>146514432
Are there any high score runs to watch?
>>146527735
It's good and also like two dollars, I thought you might be interested

So close.
>>146527085
If you like Raiden, I can recommend Wolflame and Deltazeal. Wolflame feels almost exactly like Raiden 1 but a little easier on the player. Deltazeal is a bit further away, but something about it makes me think Raiden.
I'd like to fly,
but my wings have been so denied.

Fuck off trap.
tfw it's too hot to play shmups
>>146547762
It really is. I tried playing with a fan blowing on me but it was hard to focus because my eyes kept watering.
I moved the fan further away and it helped a little but it's just so hard to get motivated in this weather.
Bomber!
Another hour at work, then some sleep, then more practice before work again!
>>146540471
>Deltazeal is a bit further away, but something about it makes me think Raiden.
Maybe the fact it has exactly the same visual style as raiden fighters?
>>146540471
>Wolflame feels almost exactly like Raiden 1 but a little easier on the player.
In general defo but insane is imo harder than raidens first loop by quite a bit.
>>146510858
>I guess they ran out of good games to cover.
Far from it, good replays is the problem.
>>146554946
That never stopped them before
Sometimes they didn't even watch the replays beforehand
>>146554946
>>146556128
Also good commentators who know enough about the games and are willing to show up
>>146554406
Cute
>mfw feel like playing crimzon clover or mushihimesama but i know it will go like shit
how can i motivate myself to play
>>146560378
just discipline yourself to play them for at least 30 minutes
even if it's just later stage practice instead of full credits
>>146560378
Don't play against the game, play against yourself. You can always beat yourself.
As long as you beat your personal best, you are winning.
>>146560378
Do your best and make Reco-chan proud.
Reco-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!

STG Archive is out of replays it seems.
I tried to upload my Ikaruga PB but somehow the upload failed at 85%
>>146563810
No more replays left, but I did upload a video today I still have to publish.
Are you using the Steam version of Ikaruga or did you record a replay on the console version? It should possible to download replays from the leaderboards on the Steam version, if I remember right.
god the fucking input lag with bombs gets me killed so many times
also what are you supposed to do when those red spiky homing balls start coming from below you on stage 4 cos type 1 certainly doesnt have the firepower to kill them before they hit you unlike type z
>>146565265
>also what are you supposed to do when those red spiky homing balls start coming from below you on stage 4
I try to save up a break or double break for that point, or at least try to have enough for a bomb.
>>146564968
It's the steam version, yes. You can watch replays from the leaderboards, yes, but I still have to record them of course.
>>146566812
Yeah, but if it's on Steam. I might as well try recording it myself instead?
>>146565265
You have to use the lock-on in the right moment when they come.
>>146567887
No, you don't have to. I will just send it an other day.
Waaah, stage 5 in Mushi Maniac is really difficult. ;_;
>>146568093
Ah, alright. That's fine too
>>146569513
Everything after the mid boss kicks my ass
Approach your target and attack!
Today's video is a Vasara 2 1cc by clp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Aqqr20rno0
And now I have nothing left to upload. I'll be waiting for some more replays, guys.
Any SHMUPs you can recommend on steam?
I own: Crimzon Clover, Ikaruga, Kamui, RefleX
I only enjoy vertical scrolling shooters.
>>146573052
Mushihimesama
>>146573052
Alltynex Second is by the guys who made Kamui and RefleX, check it out too!
>>146572827
I love that game, maybe i'l tackle the 2loop mode someday. That boss is a real bellend.
>>146572827
Do you want a shitty PoFV replay?
>>146531912
Is this game any good?
How hard is QP Shooting Dangerous for a shitter like me? Do I have a chance to actually 1cc the highest difficulty if I can't beat Deathsmiles or is QP Shooting Dangerous more shitter-friendly than Deathsmiles?I'm talking Deathsmiles 999 vs QP Shooting Dangerous Super.
Having a good time with the sales, Armed Seven seems fun
>>146560378
Force yourself to play. I often find myself procrastinate practicing a shmup, but once I boot it up I can stick with it just fine.
>>146574862
Gigantic Army is my jam
>>146573879
Archive anon is happy with every 1cc he gets. It doesn't have to be very good.
I was about to pull the trigger and buy mushihimesama but the forums are filled with complaints about the game not working. Is it true lads?
>>146563810
>STG Archive
Anyone have a Steredenn replay making it through loop 1?
>>146577085
That may depend on what PC you have. You can still refund it if you encounter any problems.
Space Moth seems fun but the soundtrack is too chilled out
>>146574756
Anyone? Or is there a more newb-friendly shmup for me to go for?
>>146578662
Wish there was a little more detail to the animations as well but you can't ask for the moon from an indie game I guess
Raiden Fighters is a fun game, kicks my ass though.
>>146572760
Your mission starts now
>>146573879
Only if it's a replay you made with lots of love!
>>146577231
If someone sends me a replay of it, I can upload it if you want.
Bump!

I don't like those guys at all, especially their second attack.
>>146587524
Some of them you can kill before they even shoot by pointblanking.
>>146509169
kek'd, but seriously Dariusburst isn't a fucking retarded bullet hell, it's just a masterpiece of a SHMUP.
>>146514432
Raiden V looks absolutely stunning. Is there a better-looking SHMUP?
>>146587793
Yep, already doing this with the first two, but the ones after are a huge pain in the a**.
I just have to git gud...
>>146588530
It looks interesting, but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. Too much quantity over quality in it for this.
>>146588723
>a**
go f*** urself kid
>>146588530
Playing AC mode with two monitors is a masterpiece I'll give you that. The rest not so much. CS mode gets dull after a while.
I wouldn't mind if someone came to my work and point blanked me rn
>>146588781
>>146588978
It's both quantity AND quality!
Lots of repetition though for sure. But AC mode doesn't cover all content alone. Chronicle mode has lots of unique levels, music and bosses in it and so does CS mode.
It's a 10/10!
>>146588702
>the power of microsoft money
>>146588723
Move slightly to the side when their second attack is coming at you and you should slip through. It might take a bit to get used to but once you do you should be about to do it consistently.
Except the rush of beetles just before the midboss. Bomb those to hell just to be safe.
What's the easiest game to 100% on Steam right now? I want to get better but Ican't even beat Deathsmiles.
>>146590250
There's a cool game called Dedication and Practice that is 100% free!!

>>146590250
In order to 100% a shmup you have to obtain the world record in every mode using every ship.

>>146574756

>>146600493
>play any shmups you want all day
but shmups are too hard to play all day
Is getting Sony PlayStation Arcade Stick by Venom worth it? It's not expensive and compatible with Sanwa parts afaik.
>>146601109
I'd play them all day if I hadn't a worry in the world.
>>146601174
Yeah its great, I play fighting games and I have only heard good things about it. Replacing it with a Sanwa stick and buttons is cheap and easy.

Pretty gimmicky with a lot of bullet canceling and whatnot. Pretty well designed for the kind of game it is, cool scoring too.
It's worth trying out and you can always refund if you don't like it.

What Darius game should I play? I want to try out a horizontal SHMUP
>>146611597
Hydorah.
>>146611154
Darius has legendary music. How come no other shmup can compare?
>>146611597
Gaiden is a must
>>146611774
Metal Black comes close.
Well, it's also Zuntata doing the music but still
>>146611845
Never actually played Metal Black.
How does it compare to Darius stuff?
>>146611597
Every Darius game is a fantastic and otherworldly experience.
I'd recommend G.Darius as it'll always have a special place in my heart. But Gaiden and Dariusburst are just as good.
>>146611905
It's some kind of spiritual predecessor to G Darius and Darius Burst, it had the counter-lasers thing first.
It's pretty good. Weird as hell post apocalyptic horror-ish setting though. Little more of an R-type vibe visually, compared to Darius's sea creatures theme.
>>146611597
Darius II is super charming.
Also you get the triple-wide screen experience. Give it a look.
>>146612112
Sounds rad, Darius Gaiden and R-Type are my favourite horizontal shmups.
>>146612112
It was also supposed to be Darius III at first, but they thought it was too dark. As far as I'm concerned, the darkness or more likely the dark/bleak stories and endings are part of what makes Darius so great, so they could've went ahead.

all those elite shmups with spaceships for gentlemen of refined taste, and i am cursed with being unable to enjoy anything but touhou in earnest
>>146615661
That'sperfectly okay
>>146615720
no geddit
i am the anon who's neutral on touhou aesthetics and adores space and military settings; yet touhou has my favorite mechanics by a very long stretch, and there are, especially, few things i find more boring than pre-danmaku shooters, so i may as well be limited to cave stuff which i still don't like as much as zun's
Thus, best of both worlds = impossible. I am subject to an eternal tease
If only R-Type and Gradius wouldn't be dead... The stuff they could have done with todays hardware power would have been insane.

>>146616670
Tthere's non-cave, non-touhou games with nifty gameplay, for example Giga Wing off the top of my head.
And even Touhou has some hilarious stuff like Marisa in Double Dealing Character having her focused shot choices be a flamethrower or what appears to be actual missiles
>>146618039
Granzella dude used to say he'd try to get the rights to R-type. He said it about Disaster Report and it looks like that's slowly coming to fruition, after five goddamn years. So maybe 10-15 years from now we'll get a new R-Type. The waiting game is a long game.
But unfortunately Gradius is toast
Is Danmaku Unlimited 2 any good?
For $1 I can't really go wrong I guess but given how cheap some of these other games are during the sale who knows.
