Why were Europeans so bad at designing shmups? (except for SWIV)

What's wrong with having a shield? I never played this game, though.
>>3283789
you're not supposed to have health in an STG.
>>3283752
are you somehow implying that american shmups were better?
>>3283809
No, he's implying Japanese shmups are the best shmups.
>>3283752
I've never played this game before but that looks like a Bitmap Brothers game just from the use of ugly green n orange
Only autistics are so concerned about what they think a shmup should be, you can spot these people calling them stgs
>>3283865
STG is the corrent name. Just like belt scroller.
>>3283871
Okay I dont really care you do though thats autistic
weeb shmup fans have Rainman screeching fits over anything even slightly different from their routine
>>3283883
This.
>>3283883
Weebshmup fans are also good at the games, unlike Euroshmup fans.
>>3283752
True. Like the Xenon games I used to think were good as a kid but I later realised they were actually a massive pile of dogshit.
>>3283837
And the (admittedly nice) embossed panelling. But I don't know what this game is, it's not Xenon that's for sure and the Bitmap Bros didn't do any other spaceship shooters - just the pretty ace Chaos Engine (Soldiers Of Fortune in USA).

No youre not you faggots are on the same tier as doom babbies lmao
>>3283915
>uses Doombabby as an insult
>needs a healthbar in his shmups
You are literally retarded. You would like weebshmups if you could only git gud.

Back to your containment thread, dickface.
>>3283918
I do like weebshmups you fucking autistic faggot. I like all games I am not someone who starts hyperventilating because a shmup has a healthbar its still a good game if its balanced around it, some games are not and they arent that good but some games are and it works in their favour. Having a healthbar is not relevent to how easy or hard it is because the game will be balanced around mechanics it implements. I am sorry any shmup that isnt space invaders with scrolling causes you to have a mental breakdown.

>"""shmup"""
>not autistic
choose one
>>3283962
shmup is the opposite of autism kiddo. Any retarded OCD sperg would have a freakout for not using proper abbreviations like STG
>>3283871
>STG
Anyone ever play this pile of wank?
>Shoo-Ting Game
What did they mean by this?
>>3283789 Lifebars in STGs are generally a sign that the game is not well designed and the the designers expect the player to soak up unavoidable damage, which goes against the design principles of the genre.
>>3283914
The hud just screams Chaos Engine, made me think of the bitmaps
>>3284045
>goes against my autistic views of what a game should be
Funny how you can never provide examples of unavoidable damage
