Hitbox is too big on all Neo shooters? :rolleyes:

Have you even tried to figure out how big the hitbox is on say Last Resort or Blazing Star?

tehee hee hee hee ,

what I *mean* is that the hitbox is far too big, and the bullets are far too many, therefore the difficulty is unbalanced. O rly like to come home, put on a shooter and just forget about the world. I *dont like it when the hitbox is soo big that every signle time i dobt manage to avoiad a bullet storm i die, its just not kool, comprende?

Ha ha ha, nice. Roker gets some pretty attention from a drunk female member, who's playing shmup in addition. That's all good in my books.

Seriously, I'm not really fan of Psykio. Sure the hitbox is big. Only Strikers 1945 I and II get my vote.

My man! that's excellent! great games indeed!

Except for Philosoma:oh_no: , I just can't get into it. Space Shot is hideous, but cheesy as hell so it has some charm to it.

Never played Harmfull Theme Park, could you tell me a bit about it?

I gave it a spin a few times

it's not bad

seems like you have to play it on a harder level to get some enjoyment out of it

but as far as these "cute'em ups" go

I'd still say the Parodius series takes the crown

Sexy to be exact.

I think Xexex...is totally overrated.....a complete pile of toss if you ask me....
What do you guys think?...
If i would have paid between £100-150 for this i would have felt very ill....
Fortunatley it was far from that figure....time to get shut.

R Type Delta is probably the best horizontal shooter Ive ever played.

Radiant Silvergun lives up to the hype, but its not worth the money.

OK After 4 months here we go again, I actually enjoy this thread...

Best shooter of all time for me has to be Kingdom Grand Prix, is underrated as hell, and is a lot of fun. I dream of Nirvana...ah...

Overrated shooter of all time, for me it has to be Border Down, I mean the game is good, but Einhander would kick the damn game all the way 5 blocks down.

Top 5

Kingdom Grand Prix (Shippu Mahou Daisakusen)
Strikers 1945 Plus
Raiden
Terra Driver (Sokyugurentai)
Einhander

The ones that didn't make it, but still well loved.

Ikaruga
RSG
Dimahoo (Great Mahou Daisakusen)
Gigawing
Gunbird 2 (Damn I love that genie!)

Ibara is one of the greats, hot chicks and space ships go together extremely well!
