In OG mode you get more points from chaining the same color consecutively (excluding start of secret chain). In Ikaruga mode you can chain any color after the your last chain and still get +point and + exp benefits. Your weapons will level faster in Ikaruga mode, but the amount of points you get for keeping the chain in OG is higher. Also don’t think you can get a secret chain in Ikaruga mode but there may be things people haven’t found out about it yet.
Ikaruga mode encourages you to chain and kill everything, whereas OG mode you have to be selective on what you chain and is a bit more puzzle-like. I like both.
Ah I figured that’s what they where going to do but I wasn’t sure.
Kind of pissed I have to own Ikaruga to unlock that mode by the way. I have Ikaruga for my Dreamcast and Cube, so I never bought it for XBLA and I honestly don’t really feel like buying it again, so quite annoyed I am going to have to in order to play the mode I was excited about. I already played the shit out OG RS. I was excited for a new way to play.
The filters seem pretty nice. I’m impressed.
Fuck I forgot how hard this game way. So out of practice.
This isn’t a ‘shmup,’ but there isn’t a single mention of this game on this site and I think that’s a very, very bad thing. Herzog Zwei deserves a lot more support and praise, even though the franchise/company is dead.
As far as I know they aren’t giving credit to the original series or company. Which is bad… but at this point it looks like a worthy successor, so I’m willing to give them a pass for resurrecting a completely dead game. There isn’t a publisher yet but hopefully this ends up on XBLA/PSN, or Vita/3DS/iOS/Android/Idontcare.
Dragon’s Crown, Gravity Rush, Wipeout 2048, 3G, and just generally being a nice gadget that I feel like I can get some use out of. I’m really hoping to see a return of the PS1/PS2 era of more imaginative games through it as well.
Finally 1cc’ed Metal Slug. Yeah, I know it’s old and I’m waaaay late. I remember the first time I played it back in 2006, I needed 20+ credits to finish it. This time, I got lucky and kept getting shotguns and HMG’s and managed to keep the tank until the last boss. I actually had a no miss going until I lost the tank.
