I’m glad Aegis Wing was free, because the game is more boring than R-Type Final. That’s pretty damn boring.
Seriously. That shit was HORRIBLE.
Ya gotta love how they say its the “world’s” greatest shmup player when its in the midwest. Thats like me walking outside and shouting at the top of my lungs “Hey guys! Lets have a race to determine who is the fastest fucker in the world!” and then have it come down to four random guys.
:lmao: damn!! sounds like this game is one to miss. not worth getting shot over I take it?
However, I am a bit surprised that some people found R-type final boring. Not the best of the series IMO, but boring? hmmm… it’s your opinon though.

Haha, yea. I actually enjoy playing the Clone games. Alot of the time, you can have MORE of a good time with them, than the originals. **Last Resort ** is DEFINITELY one of them.
Also, have you played Raiden III? I’ve herd nothing but GREAT things about both it, and IV. Currently using the “usual methods” to get this game.
LOL@“usual methods”. I have yet to get my hands on Raiden III, but the start of June is looking good. I have a possible job AND a nice, fat lump of money coming to me. I know I should pay my bills with the lump, but that ain’t happenin!! HDTV W/ surround sound assist FTW!! The front room will sound like a war zone when I’m getting shot. Either that or down payment on some wheels. I don’t think there’s anything around right now though, so it’ll probably be the TV.
-Starhammer-
Haha, I hear that. HD TV > Computer Monitors.
On my list of games to play tonight -
Raiden II
Raiden III
Viper Phase 1
Soldier Blade
Super Star Soldier
Air Zonk
Haha, time to GET IT ON!
I guess a lot of people in the office enjoyed Final’s versus mode enough to expand on it into a strategy game.
I mean with Final’s versus mode, much deeper story (three different and very startling endings), all the different ships, and the CG intro showing a wave of R-Types going to work. It makes a LOT of sense. Much like Halo Wars.
Oooo and it’s on the PSP. Hot sexy damn.
I still want them to squeeze a shooter in there somewhere. It would be nice to see what happens after…
SPOILER
The one ship completes that operation in traveling to the future to meet the humans of tomorrow.
SPOILER
Or they could make more shmups about other battles before then. Anyway, glad to see that R-Type lives on.
Dammit!!! as much as I don’t want to buy a PSP, they just KEEP on bringing out good shit for it!!! I’m gonna end up with one sooner or later, I just know it. my need to get shot comes before matters of the wallet.

Raiden III is awesome.
so I’ve heard. I’ll be looking to make it mine around the start of June.
as far as an update to my progress on E.S.P. Ra De, I’m screwed up right now. I don’t know why, but it looks like my ability to dodge bullets is getting WORSE instead of better. I don’t know how this is happening because I play the damn thing at least 3-5 times a day. still, I keep getting hit by that one random bullet that I know I saw coming, or I’ll just freeze at a point when I need to move. what gives? has this happened to any of you?
-Starhammer-
Yes.
I dropped down to the sixes in rRootage (one of two games that I play regularly now, the other being the Puzzle Quest demo on PC).
This totally blows. I’m thinking time off would do us both good. Maybe we’re just overthinking it when playing, since we know what to expect?
hmmm… that could be it. I had started training with just one character since the first three boards change in difficulty depending on which character you use. I’m not sure it’s working yet, but it seems like it may be showing a little bit of promise. I’ll keep posting progress as I get it.

I actually just downloaded this a few minutes ago, and I gotta agr4ee, it’s boring as FUCK. And the music is annoying. A friend of mine told me that it was almost as good as a R-Type, and I just didn’t believe him since it’s free. And god damn it, it better be free.
Damn!! is it THAT bad? sounds like garbage on a hard drive!!! I might want to see this for myself. please post up a URL to download it from? maybe it’ll be the break I need while laying low on E.S.P. Ra De. for a little while.

How’s the ESP Ra De quest?
I’m lucky to finish the game with 30 credits, normally…
I’ve hit a dead spot it seems. I guess I have shooter’s block or something. it seems like I can’t beat stage 3 without having to continue. it’s bs because it’s always some little piece of shit tank or human that I KNOW I barbecued that does it. I think that’s more infuriating than if I got hit by the big wall of bullets. at least with the wall, you can say,“yeah, that was a no way out situation anyway.” but no. some piece of shit gunman runs out from behind a tree and gets you. I’m putting it on hold for a day or two to see if backing off will help clear out my head. I’ll be back on it again soon though.
in other gaming news, I tried out viper phase 1. after dodging the continuous rain of bullets in ESP Ra De, that game feels like it’s in slow motion. I had completely forgotten about the bombs until stage 3 when I accidentally hit the bomb button. I almost feel bad about shooting up everything on the screen…Almost.

We had one Raiden at our old arcade before it was replaced by a Lenscrafter. This one had a choice of at least 8 ships (I specifically remember the Aegis) but I can’t remember which Raiden it was. That being said, I’ll probably go ahead and get Raiden 3.
URL? I thought it was only for XBL?
