Fun game, but a bit too ā€œeuroā€ for some peoples taste.

I almost bought it but I didn’t feel that it is worth $3. I feel like it should be free. Probably because of the years I played the freeware demo.

Anyway, Eschatos FINALLY arrived. It only took a month and some change but damn it I got my game! I like it so far. The graphics are pretty dated looking but the gameplay is SO very solid that it’s easy to overlook the silly ufos and bla bla enemy designs.

I’m hoping that by the time the rest of you get to read this, PSN’s store will be up again and that people can go get shot. Me? I’m seriously starting to think about that 360. That and I’ve been slacking rather badly on getting shot. I hope the docs will have good news for me soon.

^You’ve been seriously thinking about it for at least a year Star. If the new price drops pans out after E3 you owe it to yourself and us to buy one already.

True. Unfortunately, it looks like my paycheck gets shot more than anything else. Gotta put some shields up or break out the Hax0r5 on it. With luck, this will finally be my month. If not this time, I must make it happen in July. Independance for all, and to all, get shot.

Starhammers bouncing boobies AV is sorely missed.

In regards to Starhammer’s new av:
ā€œHmm…No, sir. I don’t like it.ā€

So I have Akai Katana Shin as of yesterday, but I have yet to play it cause the A/C is broken and we all know how hot the 360 can get :sad:
I’ll be playing it later on today tho in a cooler setting so I’ll give my impressions later

How come no one told me that Strania’s Side Vower was released?!

Sorry folks. I don’t seem to be able to get it to animate for some reason. Believe me, I don’t like it anymore than he does.

So I finally got a chance to sit down and play AKS. It’s really solid, and not nearly as easy as I thought it would be – which is a good thing :smiley:
I don’t understand the scoring 100% but I’ll get it down eventually. The main thing that kills me right now is Boss 2. She’s tough, don’t think I’ve beat her yet :frowning:

Yeah, I got my copy of Akai Katana Shin when I came back from UFGT7. Great game, I can’t quite nail down what my favorite game mode is right now. Shin is fun for the in-your face style of gameplay, Zetsu/Arcade is great for the huge swaths of circling gold.

The fact that this is probably the last Cave shmup release on the 360 for a while at least disappoints me a bit, but I’ll be glad to finally be able to just sit down and put some real time into the huge library of stuff I’ve built up the last almost 2 years now. Really want to try making it to DOOM in Ketsui.

lol I would like to make it to stage 3 in Ketsui

I didn’t dig Eschatos that much at first but after spending several attempts with different modes I really like it’s simplicity. Advanced mode is pretty neat.

I can 1CC the first loop, but I can’t score or perform well enough yet to get to either of the second loops.

That’s all I’m gonna say.

Bangai-O HD is so amazing. Almost the ultimate Bangai-O experience.

Just missing a story and offline co-op?

WHAT?!?!? No Co-op? I coulda sworn that they said it would have it!!! damn. Ah well. If luck holds, I will score an XBOX or a new computer this week. Here’s hoping that’ll get the blood flowing.

I said offline co-op. It has online co-op.
