Zangeki Warp on Insane is too brutal. Anyone knows what comes after Insane? There are still some ??? in the menu.

Bahmpu~

So what do you play atm? You do play a shmup, r-right, anon? .... A-anon?

>>168660971
What I want to play is IN, DU2 and give Blue Revolver another chance. Unfortunately at the moment I can't play anything and haven't been able to for the past couple of weeks (and it looks like this is going to continue for a few months more). Too busy with things/work. W-what are YOU play, anon?

>>168661242
Me, I still play Zangeki Warp. Currently practicing Insane mode. Already cleared Easy and Normal, but just skipped Hard mode.

>>168660971

Any good shmups for beginners on Steam?

>>168666215
What is your style? Are you looking for a stage layout with possible obstacles and stuff or are you
looking for wave based gameplay or do you want a curtain of bullets to dodge?

>>168666606
I don't even know. Aside from very poorly playing some on SNES as a kid, I'm totally new to the genre. Though I like games that pull your focus in until your mind falls quiet and you're almost in a trance, not consciously thinking about what to do next but just doing it. Mostly I've experienced that with rhythm games, but sometimes with platformers. Does this happen in shmups? If so, what kind of game is most likely to give me that experience?

>>168667172
>vidya as meditation
Never thought I'd see that.

>>168667172
Are you a waifufag or a shipfag?

>>168667731
Probably ships so I don't get funny looks playing in front of my friends.

>>168667808
Then I'd say the best shmups for you on steam are Ikaruga and Crimzon Clover.

>>168667808
Perhaps also check out Strania, if you are more a mechafag.

Do you all generally play shmups with a keyboard or with some kind of controller with a joystick?

I'm a graduate student. I do a lot of work in the computer lab on campus because it's a nice, quiet place to work, but I use my laptop because it's faster than the computers in t here and because it has Spotify. Sometimes I'll take a break and play a game for a bit to clear my head. Friends come in at times. Thus, I end up playing in front of them.

>>168666215
Mushihimesama, Eschatos, and Dariusburst

>>168669657
Yes I understand but you said that video games are something you're using to relax or to achieve flow. I couldn't do that because I prefer to play vidya alone. Also

>>168667172
I recommend Dodonpachi Resurrection on Steam. CCWI isn't for beginner, it does has Novice Mode but the difficulty gap between Novice and Arcade is big, you won't progress much for a loooong time. But if you like the challenge and like to suffer then go get it.
Darius Burst CS is good recommendation too.

CAVE has ruined shmups for me, if it isn't made by CAVE it's shit SHIT!

A Darius is fine too

>>168700958
Honestly I find CAVE to be quite shit. Almost every game they make is the same shit, you have a ship and two options (maybe they track, maybe they don't) and you just chain kills together. Some are a bit different, but most are just the same shit. And somewhere along the line they started pandering full-time to autistic otakus and now their games don't even have the style anymore that games like ketsui had.

Good morning, /shmupg/. Time to get up and play shmups.

Do you all solely play bullet hell games? Anybody have any good entry-level recommendations for "memorization" style shmups?

>>168706146
Zangeki Warp
Also bullet hell isnt necessarily more difficult

>>168706582
>Zangeki Warp
Thanks!
>Also bullet hell isn't necessarily more difficult
I'll take beginner recs of that kind too, then, if you're up for giving them.

>>168706146
If you don't want bullet hell try DBCS and Strania.

>>168706689
Dodonpachi Ressurection

I played a shmup today for the first time in months! I beat the galaxy squadron game that's in the humble bundle.

>>168679540
me too senpai

I just started playing Strania. It's my first shmup besides occasionally playing one (I think it was an R-Type) on my sister's 360 back in the day. I can't tell what the fuck I'm doing half the time and I feel lost.

I realize a lot of it is just learning to play better, but can anybody give me some advice so I at least know what I'm doing wrong in order to learn from it?

>>168706146
Any shmup with fixed enemy positions and patterns is a memorizer

oh and 77th post for procrastinating the fish massacre.

>>168716234
Watch a replay or two, and plan out which weapons you're going to take for every section of the game. Appropriate weapons will give you a much better time.

>>168716234
A big part of Strania is learning the right weapon for the right situation. You want to learn the stages so you make sure you have the right weapons at the right time. IIRC you grab the weapon with whichever hand is closest to it when you pick it up. Outside of casual play for scoring you want to maximize use of all weapons for more points.

Very fun. I waited on DBCS because of the price but ended up liking it a lot. It's a big change of pace (in a good way) from the usual CAVE fare.

I've thought about streaming again, but I usually don't feel like doing multiple runs in succession, and only one 15-minute run wouldn't be worth starting a stream for, nevermind that I'd let everyone watching down again if I stopped after that.

Also, I'm watching a CSGO tournament right now, because it's relaxing!

But I'll surely do a stream in a few hours!

Never did anything with Fightcade but I might join you some time!

>>168734890
any time man, theres always ppl playing usually and its an easy game to get to grips with. I'll help you out if you need it.

>>168734001
>what's the CS mode like?
CS mode is a ton of different missions. A mission could be 18 stages long, it could be 1. It might even be a boss rush. You're assigned one of many ships for each mission and most of them have unique play styles. You get currency that you can use to unlock ships so you can pick ones that weren't assigned for the mission, but I found that being forced to use the other ships was good fun and a great way to learn their intricacies.

>And how easy/difficult is the game?
It varies. Some of the routes in arcade mode/some of the CS missions are easy and some are very hard. You select you're route so you can pick whatever you want.

>playing something else than beat em ups on fightcade
shiggydiggy

>>168735189
Interesting thanks, think I'll try it out. looking for a change of pace.

What games other than BWR+ have boss fights with item count counting down, destructible parts and bullets changing into pickups?

Ya'll niggas should watch vlud1 on twitch, he's a legit good player

>>168737535
If you try it out, just look up an explanation of the bursts. I don't remember if the game explains it but some can be used to make barriers, some are better at counter bursting, some are like bombs. It took me a while to figure it out.

I bought Ikaruga blindly, bacause everyone acted like it was the best shit ever, but I just can't get into it.

It doesn't even play like a shmup.

Look at the people who make good shmups in japan, it's either experienced devs or dedicated enthusiasts. Western indies suck shit at shmups and have no experience making arcade games so of course they generally make trash.

>>168716234
If you're playing normal/hard and don't give a shit about score vulcan + missile is a godlike combo. Pick them up in the same arm multiple times to level them up. Use the sword for all bosses besides maybe the second one, you can use the practice mode to figure out when and how you can slash them, although keep in mind that the practice mode doesn't randomize their attacks so they will catch you off guard in the actual game.

My favourite is the song in stage D! But they're all masterpieces!

>>168775914
Why can't Western devs into anything, really? When Japan makes technical games you get Battle Garegga, DMC, God Hand, Dark Souls, Vanquish, Tekken, KoF...

When the West tries to make a technical game you get For Honor. KEK
The West can only do FPS well, and even then I don't believe it would be much of a problem for Japanese devs to completely eclipse them in making FPS.

Well, okay, the West does make some pretty technical stuff like CSGO, Dota, SC2 and such, but esports games are about all they can sometimes get right...

>>168667731
what would you suggest if i were a waifufag anon?

>>168787569
I like the stage D song too. Stage H music isn't something I'd listen to in my spare time. I just think the music fits that particular stage. It sounds very ominous and slow at the start. The enemies are coming from the bottom of the screen to the top, giving the appearance that you are descending to the planet's surface in your final and possibly doomed mission. Your path takes you through the last line of defense. You make it through the blockade of larger ships and swarms of enemies attack you, desperate to thwart your plans. The clouds become more intense as you pass through the atmosphere and the moon in the background fades from view. The planet's surface becomes visible and you're greeted by melancholy vocals as the enemy fleet throws all its renaming ships at you. Obscured by the darkness, Violent Ruler (your ultimate target and the mission objective) skitters across the background. Shortly afterwards the melancholy vocals change to a more foreboding section with intense percussion and then the sirens sound as the boss warning appears. I love it!

Ha, yeah, it's great.
It's a very lowkey and foreboding track, yeah. Very abstract, until the boss theme kicks in. I think it's a listenable track anyway though.

All the tracks are fantastic, but overall I definitely like stage D's track the most. I also like stage A's boss theme more than stage D's. Love those war drums (they're not really war drums I think but whatever~) and the harp that come in at the transition.

My tactic there is to have shockwave fully upgraded, this way you can easily kill everything as soon as it appears on the screen. It's also really good to speedkill the stage 4 boss.

Don't worry about it, it's a huge privilege to have people watch me play a game badly!

To be perfectly honest, it's not like I'd notice anyway; I play in fullscreen mode and don't have a second monitor~

Zangeki Warp is really easier than expected. Witch Bot Meglilo was harder to me.

Pretty damn far. When I started playing I went straight to CS mode and played it for about 25 hours. I've been dabbling in AC mode for the first time and all that boss practice in CS mode has really paid off. I remember when I thought Violent Ruler was hard and I don't think he's so bad now. I still can't counter to save my life though.

Man, I wish I could understand machines.

In CS mode if there is a point requirement does it not actually mean that there is a point requirement? I got it and it opened a alternate extra hard path where I got brutally murdered by Great Thing. Do you have to do the alternate path to clear the mission?

>>168813870
Yeah that works like a charm, currently memorizing level 5. Normal's really tough in this game by Astro Port standards, wonder how brutal insane will be.

>>168895046
The game is actually pretty easy for AP standarts. It's their easiest so far imo. Mainly due to how OP shockwave is.

I think Wolflame is their hardest game.

>>168893998
I find it hard to choose one I want to commit to

>>168895282
On normal? No way took me like 4 runs to get to the final level there so unless there's a massive difficulty spike at the end it's a very easy game. I've already put two times more time into Zangeki Warp and I'm only halfway through the game, although maybe I'm just not using the shockwave right

>>168895712
Not sure which is the hardest on normal, but on the harder difficulties Wolflame is just brutal. It's Raiden style brutal.

Zangeki Warp on the other hand is really easy once you use shockwave, even on the hardest difficulty. It's still a cool game though, and their best one after Satazius imo.

>>168895867
Yeah I wouldn't know about Wolflame's insane kinda hate the game desu but still bought it since I love Astro Port

I actually think it wouldn't such a bad idea to merge the thread with other arcade games too.

The fighting game players will most likely just stay in their containment threads anyway, and some puzzle game or racing game posting really wouldn't bother me desu.

Perhaps we should update the next OP and make clear that also other arcade games are welcome here? Could bring some life to the general perhaps.

>I just think the general is too dead lately.
What do you expect from a genre that doesn't see any growth? The constant need to bump this general is a result of /vg/ being too fast, not these threads being too slow.
Also, do take into account that there are no preexisting puzzle/racing generals on /vg/ to merge with, so speed wouldn't pick up for a long time, and even if there was growth it would be so little the threads would still have to be constantly bumped. The only person who would benefit from such a "merge" is Cee, whom only wishes for this to happen so he can continue his fucking attention whoring here. In addition, the resulting "arcade general" would be nothing more than /vr/-lite with mandatory bumping, making its existence worthless since /vr/ exists. And if that's not enough to prove how retarded you're being, you should also take into account that "merging" the topics would result in a split between those who want to follow the proposed change and those who want to only discuss STGs, causing both communities to falter and die.
tl;dr: quit with this fucking nonsense, there is absolutely nothing that warrants changing the topic of this general. I've seen this kind of shit go down in slow generals before and it NEVER works out well.

So mad with Blue Revolver devs essentially abandoning the project 'because it didn't sell as good as we hoped, so we better focus on the next game'. Seriously you greedy lazy-ass fucks? You have a game that has such a great potential and is blessed with great ost and art. Put some effort in balancing and polishing, make it actually good. It's going to pay off too, the game is still fresh, there are potential buyers out there.

I really hope they will go bankrupt on their next project - and chances are they will with this attitude.

>>168981658

>>168983385
it's especially sad how they don't care about their game because that's like the one thing indiedevs can do better than companies

abandoning is a fast way to burn any goodwill fans of the game might have towards them.

The trend of releasing unfinished games and then finishing them only if they're successful is sort of ass. I've recently seen a few Kickstarters where they release the game unfinished and promise to do the rest of the goals as DLC. Don't worry the backers will get the DLC for free! What bullshit.

>surprise great thing at the end of a long mission
end it all lads desu

>>168989648
What's more is that the number is not a literal multiplier - a [25] is not 25 times as large of a vote as a [1], since there are two systems at work - weighted voting accounts for half of the game's final score, and being on a list at all accounts for the other half, so a [1] will have around 30-40% of the vote power of a [25].

Well, I'm pretty sure they'd have been disappointed either way. I have to wonder what kind of numbers they were aiming for. I can't believe they'd be foolish enough to expect hundreds of thousands or millions of sales for it, but like did BR bomb compared to the three Cave titles as well? Wouldn't really surprise me since they released it just a few days before DFK came out.

DFK numbers will rise by thousands once they drop the price a bit further. The same thing happened with the other Cave games. The casual credit feeder doesn't want to pay 30 bucks for 0.5 hours of game. I don't think blue revolver price cuts will lead to as much of an increase.

>>169003426
Yes, Astro Port games are good about this in general

Blue Revolver is a 100% indie game, no brand behind it, no advertising, no name. How high can you really expect your sales to be? I'd imagine as an indie-dev you would be happy that you got to release your first commercial game and that it sold anything at all.

They were pretty happy. I think the issue is they can't figure out how to put replays in, probably because the game wasn't designed with that in mind so they'll have to go back through a lot of shit.

got my shit pushed in by violent ruler. being a scrub is pain.

Well, to be fair, I don't have the game and am not interested in it. If they promised these features it's a bit shitty but I too think it's forgivable that they'd focus on the next project. Especially, if they can't figure it out, they just can't.

I thought Degica had said shortly after DFK's release that they'd be willing to handle more ports if Cave wanted to play ball, but I'm not certain. From the sounds of that, we're waiting on Cave to let them know.
