Yes you.
Why aren't you playing a shmup right now?

i dont like replaying the same level 215891290 times

The greatest games ever made are repetitive and require you to replay stages quite often, a videogame without a real challenge is not a fun videogame.

i like spelunky and ftl because they have some forms of randomization to keep things incredibly fresh
when i play a shmup its like rewatching the same movie

I was born in 95.

rote memorization isn't very fun

Well bullet and enemy movements are sometimes randomized depending on what position of the screen you are in. But again, you play shmups because they are excellent pick up and play games without any dead time, roguelikes have plenty of times where you are doing nothing that challenges you.

it's not fun

ultra boring genre
these games are mostly about memorization

Most games are about memorization, unless you are playing movie ones of course.

>because they are excellent pick up and play games
so are roguelites, thats the entire point of most of them, anyway
>roguelikes have plenty of times where you are doing nothing that challenges you.
this also applies to shmups. whenever I play touhou 6 i always slog through the first two levels

>whenever I play touhou

Fault

does petwings count

Wrong.

that just means you haven't played a good enough game yet

but ive played plenty of non-shmups

>memorization
whoa shit i remembered to move out of the way of the bullets!

It's hard to commit to one. I want to play all the shmups because a lot of them look fun and there's more variety in the genre than people give it credit for, but I also realize that any shmup you can 1cc in less than 40 hours is usually pretty bad.

I like playing Factorio and Minecraft better.

>but I also realize that any shmup you can 1cc in less than 40 hours is usually pretty bad

I pity the people that overfocus on 1cc instead of just enjoying a game, especially considering that a lot of shmups already give you strict limitations in lives/credits.

What is the best scoring system and why is it Raiden's flash shot system?

those are some boring bullet patterns, is this on a lower difficulty?

Normal, those were the easiest patterns desu.

What game? I love shmups with shops/customization.

Recommend some original xbox ones. I have my xbox hooked up to a crt monitor that does 480p.

The original Xbox had very few shmups and i can't remember any of them, the Xbox 360 had plenty.

How is the PC port? Can you play with 140 fps? 1440p?
I am sick and tired of playing 3D shmups in 60fps and 720p / 1080p.

Its surprisingly excellent, looks way better than the original Xbox360 game and even supports 4k.

Is Dariusburst CS as soulless as it looks? Because it looks really fucking soulless, the most bland 3D graphics I've seen in a long time.
The reason I ask is because I would like a shmup that has a little bit more on the content side and not just 5 stages. Been looking at Dariusburst CS from time to time but it looks so bad.
