GMEGBLN - PCB - 31,028,870 - IXION- Level 40
I had a much easier time getting the medal mode with Ixion, really touchy controls but I'm finding it the superior ship to the others (besides the slave lol)

I always had a respect for this game before but man, I've fallen completely in love again and feel blessed that I got a PCB for peanuts awhile ago. At first getting into its guts and studying the mechanics seemed like such a colossal chore and incredibly intimidating when first trying to score, but when things click the game will suck you into an absolute trance, it's awesome. The visuals are pretty uninspired but it's marvellously detailed and top class pixel art, and while I always thought the music was meh and the weakest part of the equation before, when you get into that flow state then it literally all blends together into such a beautiful, tasty STG stew. I was first exposed to it with the Aces collection on 360 as a teen but I had the stupid idea that I should 1CC the games in order which I proceeded to never do, so Jet was never something I put real time into. And that's a huge shame, 'cause while the entire series is great this definitely stands out as the best game Seibu ever made and even one of the best shmups of all time, though it's definitely for enthusiasts and not something I'd recommend to casual players
The biggest annoyance for me is how lucrative the special medal mode is which makes a failure an instant restart, and it really is an absolute slog in an arcade setting to start fresh every time you fuck a run up. For that reason alone I think the 360 port is the definitive version if you can get over the refresh rate goofiness. The slave formation stuff needing algebra to not be random to you is also an incredibly annoying design decision and really blows
But with a ramping score like yours, I guess you let me no choice but to go back to the game to cover my ass!
what's the advantage of putting it on your HD if you still need the disc? Read time?On an unmodded system you need the disc present as a copy protection to launch after install, but yeah, you can install the game 1st which can help.
Read time, or if the disc happens to get damaged over time, maybe it still lets the game start. I usually install games to my 360 HDD if I have the room.what's the advantage of putting it on your HD if you still need the disc? Read time?
Grab it at the end of the first stage. Otherwise, reset the game. It's not worth to keep playing for high scores. You know it's the big one when it turns purple.Still don’t think I’ve hit the big metal too. I have a better understanding of it. More practice, fun game though.
Holy shit man, nice!View attachment 57603

Rusty as fuck, I'd like to 1CC this again but I've forgotten so many of the patterns, and I didn't want to use Slave/Miclus/Fairy for this
What system are you playing and what ship is this?
Please don’t post like that! That score is more than mine!What system are you playing and what ship is this?
Please post the info like this "BBH - 59.139,858 - Ixion -Phase 2 - Xbox360" so that i can maintain some coherence in the scoring table.
Thanks

You have to be on the board, that's the whole point of itXbox 360 and honestly I’m not sure it was like level 20 and the character was the one ship with the cool laser. Really you could probably not even put me on the board and it wouldn’t matter.
It's the "Flying Ray".You have to be on the board, that's the whole point of it
Let's leave the ship name in blank. This was a complicated month for me and i haven't even tried the game so i have no idea about ship names
You mean “Fagging Rok”It's the "Flying Ray".
Whatever suits your needsYou mean “Fagging Rok”
