C'mon, guys, don't let Amber feel alone.
Jaxson Lee
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
She had a name?
Gavin Reed
As far as I know, the cat's name was Amber, though sometimes Fossil Maiden is also called by this name.
Well, the humankind has yet to understand the Hellsinker's lore.
Zachary Green

Fair, I got lost on all the monologue sections so I dont know what the fuck is going on
Samuel Davis
Could shmups be properly transfered into 3D without becoming boring flying simulators?
Joshua Garcia
Your best bet is shit like rail shooters or 3D models on a 2D plane

Okay.
Kevin Kelly
Why have a bully when you can have a cute girl like windia?

I wanted to post earlier but I've been in the VN thread. Lately I've played a lot of things, and now I think I'm getting the hang of R-Type. It's a very intense series (the mainline titles at least), but if you know how to break it, it's also pretty satisfying. I think these Irem games love that sort of design, where they really want you to think at the same time about how you should use your options to the greatest effect. Once you get good at it, it feels very slick. I also want to go back to Gradius sometime since it's probably easier in retrospect.
Anthony Allen
Is there any reason to replay shmups besides of scoring?
Ryan Wood
Because you enjoy the game?
Joseph Martin
R-Type is a bit too memorization heavy for my taste, thats why I like Darius more because I can act like a spaz more without instantly dying
My favorite Irem game is In The Hunt tho
Christian Barnes
Casper is very cute. Granted Windia is too, but I think Casper edges her out.
Brandon Cooper
Danmaku 3 is probably my favorite even though I'm not really good at it. Everything is really clearly defined and smooth, feels fair most of the time.
Leo Flores
This game is fucking unbeatable. I mean, Sora has an amazing ost, but even the second boss keeps raping my ass, even on easy mode.
Nicholas Kelly
Yeah, I feel like that's kind of a flaw. My intro to the series was actually R-Type Leo, which is way easier, and you could probably blind play on one credit all the way to the final level, at which point it becomes memorization. Still, you can 100% cheat the final boss by getting directly in its face, it's funny. The main other Irem game I'm familiar with now is Image Fight, and it operates on similar logic to R-Type, so it's cool to see a developer have their own unique style. I look forward to checking out In The Hunt.
Wyatt Bennett
What is the proper way to use Fossil? Her firepower feels really week compared to other chars. I couldn't even beat Rex Cavalier with her.
Colton Rogers
In The Hunt is a pretty damn cool game, just be prepared to you know, eat shit. It's really tough
Fun fact is that it was made by the same guys as Metal Slug and the sprites are just as nice, too bad no metal slug fans remember it lol
Blake Martinez
Its pretty easy, my best tip for fossil qt is switch to Minogame
William Martinez
Bump for shmup
Evan Perry
If you want full 3D movement, you're going to necessarily get in to dog-fighting. Descent seems to be the closest in that it's not an outright simulator, but there's always pressure to get more detailed with flight games. Unfortunately, StarFox is out of the question for a while.
Lincoln Nelson
I bought Vasara collection for like a dollar on switch a few days ago but the game is literally impossible. Then again I dont really play any shooting games

>mfw reading /vr/ shmup threads
It's rarer to get threads here but at least they don't make me want to cut my eyes out

Outside of Cave shmups
Ginga Force and Natsuki Chronicles for the RPG elements in it
And Trouble Witches Neo, same reason plus the humor in that game (especial thanks to the english VA).
>Post your scores
Don't have anything on my PC and I can't recall my scores. I made an easy 1CC on Deathsmiles.
>Post you favorite osts.
My favorite is this one:
youtube.com
But not the arrange, I think it's soulless.
Also Eschatos
youtube.com
Triggerheart Excelica (super fucking catchy)
youtube.com
Trouble Witches Neo
youtube.com
old stuff would have to be Thunderforce III/IV, Gradius III, MUSHA, Gleylancer, Radiant Silvergun...etc
>Post your favorite waifus/husbandfus/shipfus.
Reco (Mushihimesama) & Natsuki Sugiura (Ginga Force/Natsuki Chronicles)/the dude from Bullet Soul looks cool but I don't know his name/Bangai-O and the blue ship from Radiant Silvergun because it looks like a controller
Joseph Robinson
What title should I buy: Deathsmiles, Refrain, Reflex or Suguri?
Jacob Wood

Aiden Ross
somehow Zig Forums has comfy shmup threads even when it should be impossible to have a shmup thread in the first place
Its also the only place that likes hellsinker consistently so I'll always love it for it
James Evans
>best gameplay
>when hellsinker exists
Adrian Robinson
I liked Radiant Silvergun better. Ikaruga stressed me out too much to consider it a fun game.
Xavier Stewart
Ahh, I got that game during the last steam sale. I don't know much about it but I look forward to giving it a shot.
>>Ikaruga has best shmup gameplay by a huge margin
I don't know what made you come to this conclusion
Luke Allen
RefleX alongside Kamui and ALLTYNEX Second
Also play Samidare first instead of RefRain, made by the same guys and the electronic ost is amazing
Brayden Howard
>Kamui
I heard this game has a really fucked up ending, is that really so?
Asher Gomez
Star Breaker is cute as fuck
