That said, will buy.


but it sells for so much money, it must be the best game ever!

Cool. I haven't played this in a few years.

At the very very least, the presentation is ridiculous, it could have a cool arrange mode, and the game itself might be okay should I ever force myself to play for score. Can't be worse than the last two Bangai-O games!

My two favorite have been Raiden Fighter Aces, Compile of Raiden 1,2, and Jets, and Mushihime Futari.

I've never been able to explain why I prefer those over ones like Espangdla II, Raiden IV(Didn't like this one at all), Ikaruga, Deathsmiles, and others. But they just had the best natural feel to me.

Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 is the big one. Japanese region free release, I think you can still get it for its re-release price. It's probably the best choice if you can only get one.

Outside of that, you have the North American Deathsmiles release and the rest of the region-free Cave games (Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets pack, Deathsmiles IIX via Games on Demand, Espgaluda 2 Black Label), all of which are great games.

On XBLA you have Strania, Guwange (my least favorite Cave game), Triggerheart Excelica, and KoF Sky Stage (needless hate is strong on this one). Ikaruga, too, of course.

RFA is a great bundle, but I haven't put any time into trying to single credit clear any of its games. Same goes for Raiden IV.

There's a ton on the system, basically.

I wonder when it became cool to hate on RS... :(

sad day indeed.

I don't want hipsters hating on my radiant silvergun.

oh, there's no fronting (hipsterdom) when it comes to my Radiant Silvergun distaste

The game is no fun if you don't like its chaining. That's all there is to it.

Hells yeah!!! By the way you guys are too dense to pick up on my hint dropping in the XBLA thread :p

I am trying to beat Ikaruga by Sept 14th. We'll see if I unlock unlimited continues or not (6 hours of play?)

For shmup recommendations, you HAVE TO GET STRANIA! Now!!! It is so freaking underrated. Strania also has DLC that is cheap and doubles the length of the game (but it is not for the weak, nor is the game itself). If you like moe anime characters Trouble Witches Neo has actually been pretty fun too as sort of a starter bullet hell game it might work pretty well once you figure out the stop shooting and collecting coin bit. Guwange is also pretty fun, and Death Smiles IIX is available in Games on Demand.

By the way I can take a picture of Radiant Silvergun at Super Potato next time I'm there, I can't remember how much it is but I think something like $150 (it's more than Panzer Dragoon Saga)

Sold my Saturn copy earlier this year for like, $175. I'm happy about this.

I game that sells for a shitload of money on the ebays can't suck, can it?

It doesn't suck but it's not as good as the hype suggests.

Outside of the production values and staging, which are amazing. The core mechanics are problematic.

Price drop? Also, Super Potato = best store name.

Azel: Panzer Dragoon RPG isn't worth nearly as much as RS, so that's why. :p

and Super Potato is overpriced.

yep. the chaining system and the level design SUCK. as someone that hates grinding as much as you do, i'm surprised that the manner in which you level up weapons in Saturn mode isn't absolutely repellent to you.

the aesthetic, soundtrack and boss battles are really fucking awesome though.

Cheaper than I expected. I thought PDS was going for $300 at one point.

Is Azel really an expensive game? I thought it was only the NA version with a high price. I had to sell that one a bit ago.

At the beginning of XBLA's life, re-releases of old arcade games were $5. He has a point.
Treasure actually did the port in-house, but idk what the details are. They graphics are enhanced at least
