The shooter games thread returns! The Empire Of Ammo says, EVERYBODY GETS SHOT!

Man what the hell is going on?

If were talking about FPS games, Rainbow6 is the best. Few games feel so refined.

Besides very low HP, many customizable things, a good cover system, heat and night vision goggles made it easy to to wreck scrubs.

You mean…You don’t want to watch them shake it? :sad:

Yeah well at one point I was in the top 50 XBLA Galaga players FUCK ME MY PLACEMENT MAKES ME SO FUCKING MAN-MOIST

High five!

<3

Ah man. I’ve found my first major gripe with Galaga Legions DX. the ability to check out any replay from a highscore that is on the leaderboards. The main thing that gave the game any challenge was trying to figure out how to get a highscore. Now? Just follow the leader…Litterally. That is one hell of a buzzkiller. :bluu:

Not much shooting going on but at least we’ll have pretty graphics. I also read that this game might have some kind of time mechanic to it. Probably won’t be bullet hell either which pleases me. We need variety.

I had a vague suspicion that that was a shmup but there was no real evidence toward that lol

Damn.

I’m here to have to say something that I didn’t want to have to say. My verdict on the new Galaga game is that it has failed. It is NOT the hype shit that we seek. It’s pretty, but in a useless bitch kinda way. Your friends will Ooh and ahh at first, but once they see that the bitch can’t boil water without help, well, the charm will end pretty quickly. They better make some serious DLC content for this one and in a hurry, or the swarm will fall right back into obscurity again. Get drunk, fuck around with it, jerk off to the pretty colors. That’s all you’re getting. I’m sorry my fellow shooters, but I cannot endorse this one. :tdown:

^!!!

So stick with the original Legions.

maybe. I haven’t played any other ones past the very first one in the arcades. The download for PSN (the DX thing) Just isn’t tough enough IMO. Try the demo. you’ll see what I mean.

:sad: <<<<<This is me. I am Dissapoint.

Even the original Legions I found required far too much memorization. Shmups should at least give the appearance of freedom to get a decent score. That and my brain can’t process the enemy pattern lines fast enough.

We were discussing it in another thread, but what do y’all think about the announcement that Cave’ll be shifting focus to cellphone/ios development?

They’re still making shooters, but it seems like next year may be the last year of arcade releases for them.

Personally, I’m all for it. As discussed above I prefer the touchscreen controls. And this’ll give them lower dev costs/time.

Much like Fighters the shooter community is full of EXTREMELY opinionated people.

^Well, just more evidence that I need to get a smartphone eventually I guess lol

yeah, the lines and patterns in this one (DX) are fast. Still, it shouldn’t take long to get the patterns down as they appear to be rather simplified, just fast. I’m sure you can get them and start laying space bees all over the place.

Oh no… :sad: I did NOT want to see that news. I hope Cave doesn’t give up on the arcade market. Maybe a petition will help change their minds? Damn. Looks like I’ll be needing to drag my ass out of the stone ages and get a phone capable of getting shot.

-Starhammer-

that’s horrible news, fucking shmups on phones? fuck that noise.

Yeah. Like people aren’t distracted enough on a cell phone. The title will end up being changed to “Everybody gets shot!! And some get run over in traffic.”

-Starhammer-

Teach you how to weave in traffic.

Please. I could do that since I could walk. I don’t get hit.

-Starhammer-

Can Radiant Silvergun come out already?
