Old thread http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=2139.0

One thing better about Donpachi is the absolutely awesome commentator.

The only things you hear from the DDP one is:
"You are approaching the target of attack. Your mission starts now. Are you ready?"
"Just a few more shots"

The DP one actually tried to make me play better so I wouldn't disappoint him.
He tried. And he failed

Long stages bore me to death....I might actually like Dodonpachi more than Touhou(but Touhou has awesome music and unique bosses, which saves it :V)

If it's only going at 10 fps then your computer might be underpowered for PS2 emulation or there might be a hardware bottleneck somewhere.

Possible, but I think it's worth trying to figure out if his settings are messed up first. That's the problem with console emulators post-snes. They are so dan complicated since you need like a mini-emulator for every single component in the system to get the game working fine.

I assume you have the newest version of pcsx2 right? Updating helps OODLES.

[Matsuri]

I assume I had the latest version. I've already deleted it since then since I figured it was useless :V

Also, as of yesterday my Mushi Futari LE has shipped. I hope I get it tomorrow <3

Whenever I order long-distance orders, I feel lucky if I get it in a month. sheesh

Yay, new thread~!

Input lag sucks, hell yeah. So many Battle Garegga deaths thanks to that.

Also, I'm hoping Cave will eventually do some proper PC ports (like Guwange) so I can actually stop using Mame for that one...

[Azinth]

Wow we actually maxed out the last thread already.  What dedication.  Here's looking forward to another long-running thread series. :V

Unfortunately, I decided to leave all my video games at home this past weekend for academic reasons, and I won't have access to them until about mid-December.  It's going to be a long three weeks, for many reasons.  Wish me luck.

First of all, I ordered this back at the end of September :V

and second, NCSX is only a few states away from me, so it isn't really long distance.

You can do it!

Right now I just figured out that a lack of sleep has a greater impact on my shmup playing than intoxication.

God damn, it's irritating not being able to get through Stage 1 of Eden's Aegis on Heaven without getting hit when you can usually walk through Original.

Not my day. :V

[Matsuri]

Yeah. Last week I couldn't even get through stage 2 of Mushi without fucking it all up. So I decided to stay away from playing shmups as much to sort of save up my energy for Futari.

It should have the stage 5 boss, rather than Hibachi.

"I hate the weird hitboxes" would be more fitting for the st5 boss :V

[Matsuri]

Make it yourself then. 

[Aisha]

Here is a Practice unlock for the TLB of Eden's Aegis 0.90 that I found, for anyone interested. Goes in the game's file directory. I think to face her you have to 1CC the game on Hell difficulty; I don't know for sure.

Really easy with both Wait Mode and Auto-Guard on.

The bitch literally steals all of your bombs right at the beginning of the fight.

[Bananamatic]

"captured" Hibachi's first attack :V

[lmagus]

man I can't wait anymore!

My copy shipped two days ago and FEDEX hasn't updated their site since yesterday morning!

[Matsuri]

Mine should be here in a few minutes! 

[lmagus]

mine only on friday i think

gah why did i have to be born in such a distant place like Brasil!? =(

[Gammeru]

I'm thinking of importing Ibara. People keep saying it sucks/ i hate it/ it's HARD/ HOPE YOU LIKE RANK SPIKES LOL but that kind of talk makes me want to play it even more. I've heard it's a lot like Battle Garegga. Has anyone else played it?

[Matsuri]

I'll have it within this month, but honestly I'm more interested in Ibara's Arrange mode more than the arcade version.

Also, people only hate it because they play it expecting Ikeda's signature sludgebullets, when Ibara was made by Yagawa, who was responsible for Battle Garegga, Battle Bakraid, Armed Police Batrider, etc.

[Gammeru]

I'm interested to see just how hard the game gets. I've heard things about the ranking being quite wonky.

[lmagus]

Ibara is for PS2, right?

[Matsuri]

Well, just as in Battle Garegga, strategic suicides are necessary to keep the rank down.

In Arrange mode, there's a rank meter that's heavily involved with scoring, and you can control how it goes up and down.

As for ESPGaluda II, I'm pretty excited for that, especially if they make it region-free like Mushihimesama Futari.

Ibara is for PS2, right?

Yes, along with ESPGaluda, Mushihimesama, and DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou.

The underlying mechanics of Ibara are similar to Garegga. So if you can't stand them in Garegga, then you probably won't enjoy them in Ibara.

People don't like Ibara because it just doesn't play like a regular shooter. In Garegga, pretty much every action you take (sans dying) will cause the rank to increase. You have to assess the pros and cons of every action, so runs through the game require strategy and forethought. The same applies to Ibara.

The Ibara port is also generally considered to be sub-par compared to its PCB, because it has less slow-down and isn't arcade-perfect when it comes to visuals. But sometimes people over-embellish these things; I don't remember Ibara's port looking that bad, really.

[Matsuri]

It's here.


I'll be back in a while.

[Aisha]

Have fun with it.

[Bananamatic]

I'll be back in a few days

fix'd

I've only played Mushi and DOJ and love to death them both.

I can't wait for DDP DFK to be ported to X360

edit: Have fun with your game!!! :V

Dai Fukkatsu and Ketsui for me. Although I'll take anything Cave throws out, really. :V
