I played some dangun feveron today.

For a while, I was really fed up with the game and had decided to get rid of it.

My problem was that I tried to play it like other cave shooters. I tried to make controlled, thoughtful movements and kept getting my ass handed to me. Something clicked today though. I've realized that you just have to play it like a fucking madman to do well. I played really aggressively and it payed off. (broke my amazingly weak high score) I chained the disco men through until half of stage 3! (quite an accomplishment for me)

It's a good feeling to finally just "get" a shmup. Really glad I didn't sell it now....

Eh, I actually like gigawing. Maybe that is a bad port?

I'd love to see the newer cave games dumped. I really can't justify spending 500-1000 on something I've never even played.:oh_no:

Custom job, of course.

I don't because I'd like to support Cave as much as possible... I understand exactly what you mean. I would just say to wait until they drop at an affordable price. Most games are good so you don't really have to worry about buying a horrible game.

generations may sound like a compilation,
but its actually not a port. different stuff.

on a side note, good luck waiting on ketsui
to drop any further in price. not happening.

Yup, that's what I figured. Looks excellent though!

I'd love to help cave out any way I could myself also. It's just that I can't bring myself to pay over a couple hundred for something I can't try out first. I know basically all cave stuff is supposed to be top-notch, but there are always people who will dislike a certain one for whatever reason. (seems to be a lot of dislike for Ibara)

Ah, didn't realize it was a different game. I just assumed it was a compilation disc of sorts because of the name.:emb:

Played some more Dangun Feveron last night. I've made it to stage 4 a couple of times now!:buttrock:

Ibara is disliked because it isn't "Cave-like." Its really just a Raizing shmup. Try out Battle Garegga and see for yourself. The game is good and hard.

@Piratero - I have a question for you regarding Espgaluda II... What is the control layout for the game? Is it a 3 or 4 button game? If it is a 4 button, is that just the optional autofire, so could I get by with only 3?

you can technically get by with 3, you can choose in the game what your 3rd button is as well.

Yeah, the fourth button is just auto-fire.

200 posts, you guys are some shooter-loving fiends (myself included). :p

On that note, I played a little bit of Strikers 1945 II on the PS2 (1945 I and II compilation disc).
