Simply put, the mobile gaming industry is seriously booming. If I was a dev I would want a piece of that pie as well.

I've heard speculation that it also may be due to how easy it is to cheat on a computer via slowdown and/or tools. They probably see it as too much of a hassle to have to constantly police their leaderboards for cheaters.

Also Capcom was supposed to have the eXceed series on Steam ages ago. I have no idea how Steam publishing works, but whatever is slowing that up may be related. Good thing I already bought the games straight through Nyu ages ago.

Valid point that I never really thought of. I, too, would like to see a steam release though. Shmups are simply not meant for phones. Tiny screen, touchscreen controls... It all screams "awful" to me. I honestly don't get how the people who do play them can stand it.

EDIT: Yay, DOJWL 1-ALL

Fuckin' hell, Juuni Jumon, I will win.

Curse you Puremrz for making this so that someone that developed the game would win with three lives on Normal!

My best run of Espgaluda by far. I'd argue it may be my best run in any arcade game . First time I reached Stage 5 and broke 10m. My only regret was screwing up my initials. :blush:

On a semi-related note I don't know why I find this game so much fun when the games everyone seem to love (CC, Ketsui, DOJ. etc) just frustrate me. DOJ especially.

EDIT: Wow how did I miss that spelling error.

Just achieved 130 billion points on Daifukkatsu Novice! Simply score running on this game mode because it's the best I can do at the moment.

I understand what you mean! EspGaluda feels a lot more laid back to me - Ketsui and DOJ feel a hell of a lot more intense.

ESPGal (and to a lesser extent Mushi) feel quite relaxed in comparison to Ketsui or DOJ. I guess though that many of us (myself included) have a preference to the more brutal games.

Silent Harmony · « **Reply #126 on:** June 12, 2012, 12:13:49 AM »

Espgaluda is definitely more "laid back" than other CAVE games (a nice way of saying easier). I honestly would love to say that I like it not because of its difficulty but its ascetics, but I probably would enjoy the sequel less if I ever played it (like how I love DDP but not DOJ). My problem is that I have to see good results; if I don't see a definite sign of improvement over time I get stressed out. Shoot-em-ups, I know, is probably the worst genre of games I could've chosen to have gotten into with that mindset, and honestly I've thought hard of dropping them altogether many times. But for whatever reason I keep coming back.

I shouldn't feel bad about being a casual gamer, but I admit I really do hate it sometimes.

To me, DOJ improves on the original DDP in essentially every aspect, including aesthetics (of both graphics and sound). I especially prefer its music and its more subtle background visuals.

Of course, DDP was already such a great game to begin with, so I can understand why DOJ may not seem as much of an improvement.

Alright, sorry for the SotW delays, but exams are now over and I can start setting this up. Anyone have anything they'd like to play this week?

Azinth · « **Reply #129 on:** June 13, 2012, 01:29:57 AM »

Is there still a chance we could do votes?

here's some shitty predictable suggestions:
TURBO FORCE :dragonforce:
V-V

Gunbird 2

Tatsujin Oh BV BV BV BV

chirpy13 · « **Reply #130 on:** June 13, 2012, 01:34:40 AM »

DDP Arrange, Ketsui Arrange, Trig Wars 4 1.5, Street Fighter Alpha 3

Sana · « **Reply #131 on:** June 13, 2012, 01:36:04 AM »

Troll suggestions:

Twinkle Star Sprites
Trouble Witches Neo
Metal Slug X
Kamui

Edit: okay maybe they're more hipster than troll

Didn't mean to imply that I don't find DOJ an improvement in just about every respect, just that it's too damn difficult for me to enjoy. I love the ascetics and feel of DOJ, but can't even reach the 1st score extend no matter how much I play I'm that bad at it.

Terrible suggestions:

Blue Wish Resurrection
eXceed 3rd JP Black Package (not free but we had Crimzon Clover week so :V)

DX7.EP · « **Reply #133 on:** June 13, 2012, 02:04:55 AM »

Silly suggestions time:
Parodius Da (:V)
DoDonPachi Maximum (as if anyone has a WinPhone)
Blazing Star (:colonveeplusalpha:)
Manic Shooter mod of GTA:SA (nope.avi)
Fatal Fury: The King of Fighters (wait wrong genre - but I love SNK Boss Syndrome)

I'd definitely go for MSlug X though!

I support all of these except GB2.

Let's replace it with Mazinger Z

So I managed to 1cc Espgaluda. Like finally.

K.B. · « **Reply #137 on:** June 13, 2012, 09:19:11 PM »

I vote for anything ancient enough that my computer can run it.

Thunder Force IV included.

edit: tried Varth, disliked the shield business. I'll still be participating in SotW (at least to the extent of trying the games) even if I don't submit a score.

Erppo · « **Reply #138 on:** June 13, 2012, 10:34:08 PM »

Anything that half of the thread doesn't already play regularly please.

チソウ タイゼン · « **Reply #140 on:** June 14, 2012, 03:16:01 AM »

~~The one I made!~~
I mean, y'all did Aero Chimera :ohdear:

In all seriousness, I'd like to see something like Galaga for SoTW :getdown:

[K]KoaMeow · « **Reply #141 on:** June 14, 2012, 11:40:42 AM »

Metal Slug 3!

Sapz · « **Reply #142 on:** June 14, 2012, 05:16:51 PM »

Poll's up. Since there are so many games, 3 votes each. This can't possibly go wrong.

Zil · « **Reply #143 on:** June 15, 2012, 12:15:00 AM »

I reached DOJBL 2-5!

My score sucks!

About SotW, I don't know anything about anything, so I can't really vote, though I'll play whatever ends up being chosen, for sure.

Zengeku · « **Reply #144 on:** June 15, 2012, 01:35:44 PM »

Making it to 2-5 sounds cool. Nicely done.

Sapz · « **Reply #145 on:** June 15, 2012, 02:03:08 PM »

I like the way this vote is turning out.

Sapz · « **Reply #146 on:** June 16, 2012, 05:23:11 PM »

Looks like it's MS3 week. Enjoy!

Also, it's that time of year again - STGT preparations are starting! Everyone interested in playing in one of our teams this year, please put your name down in this thread.
