I'll buy it out of support but I neeed to get Deus Ex out of the way.
Loving this game, but man o man there are a few huge issues that need to be patched ASAP.
1. If you're going to make the game hard then fine, but guys (Q) you have to shrink the size of the score box or move it, right in the center of the screen blocks many projectiles that is infuriating. I've big playing shooters for yrs. my biggest gripe is that you CANNOT BLOCK THE PLAYERS VIEW. That needs to be moved ASAP
2. Also the hit detection is just slightly and I mean slightly off. For example on 1-3 when there are the three headed "worms" in the walls shooting projectiles, moving near one often times causing me to die. Now you might be saying you hit it, but I watched very closely, my ship never hit the beam and yet I was still at fault.
Other than those two issues the game is great.
Even if you can't fix the hit box, please PLEASE, PLEASE, move or shrink the score box, hell there's the score box in the way and then the enemy multiplier under that, effectively taking away the entire upper center of the screen.

So... casuals don't get to see the real ending ?kassatsu said:
That makes no sense.
A lower difficulty should give you the exact same game, only easier.
Less enemies, better shield, better weapons, more checkpoints, more lives, etc.
Not removing levels.
Imagine Red Dead Redemption not giving you the real ending.

Even worse, as a cut scene has absolutely nothing to do with difficulty.kassatsu said:
Yeah... No. That comparison isn't valid at all.Goldrusher said:
It takes less than 1 hour to finish the game on Casual. Even if you absolutely suck at shmups, by beating that mode you'll be able to at least struggle through Normal and then see the cutscene.
Meanwhile, RDR is a 20+ hours game. Besides, many games have been hiding "secret endings" behind harder difficulty levels for at least two decades. Even longer ones, such as RPGs.

AFAIK:kassatsu said:
If you beat the game on Normal, you see the Last Level / End Boss, but no congratulations cutscene
If you beat the game on Hard, you see the Last Level/Boss and after that the scene congratulating you for beating the game on hard difficulty.
*Edit* Looks like I was wrong and it goes like this, based on Dylan's post:
If you beat the game on Casual, you do play the Last Level / End Boss, but no end cutscene
If you beat the game on Normal, you do play the Last Level / End Boss, and you get congratulations cutscene
When you play the game on Hard, you get to see different visual filters.
I feel bad about the IGN review, I mean it's clear the guy didn't like it despite playing it on casual or whatever. I doubt playing on normal would have changed his mind. I knew I loved the game after completing the first two stages. Bad score for a great shmup.

I honestly never thought the score box was in the way. In fact, I thought you were talking about something appearing in the smack middle of the screen. Not much action happens up there in that part of the screen, or maybe I'm just naturally avoiding going there.schwall20 said:
I did notice that laser shots fired by enemies can harm you even if you all but overlap one pixel by them it seems. They seem to be less forgiving than normal bullets, it's hard positioning yourself to go between them if they're too close.

The posts about the last boss/last stage have me hyped about it now. Can't wait to get to it tonight. Still two levels to beat on 3rd stage.

Button Layout is odd for Arcade Sticks, any chance there will be controller config option added?

I wish Amazon were still offering the digital codes for PSN cards. I'd have this by now.

Actually it's just as vulnerable to bullets as usual :/ this makes spin attack very tricky to use and severely limits it's usefulness. Kinda surprised me that ship is vulnerable, they should have maybe made it so that it takes longer to recharge after one use, but that ship is invincible during use.Corto said:
