STG THREAD 5 WAS PREPARED WITH MUCH TROUBLE. YOU DO WHAT.

[Matsuri]

:V

Click here for the last thread.

@shadowbringer: STGT '08 started in late August. If that was late, I'll assume that STGT '09 was later than that, so this year's will possibly be around late August again? *shrug*

Still trying to decide on a new thread name, here. Keep suggesting 'em.

STG Thread Stage 5 ~ Are you great??
WE ARE GREAT!!!

+1 to this.

I'm trying to get back into my shmup groove. Starting with some Double Spoiler.

I liked 'STG THREAD 5 WAS PREPARED WITH MUCH TROUBLE.  YOU DO WHAT.'

Alternatively, 'I don't believe it... they've got a 5th STG thread! C'mon kid, give it everything you've got!'

Also, DOJ is a lot less impossible than I remember it being, though Stage 4 rapes me pretty hard. :V

I've only been to stage 4 a couple of times =(

God do I suck

Ehhh, I think it's only because I've been playing tons and tons of DDP lately. DOJ is a lot harder than that but it's the same basic skillset. Before that I would generally get a game over around the Stage 3 boss, I think. :V Which bits are giving you trouble?

[lmagus]

Stage 3, all of it.

I get trapped very easily during the whole stage.

mid-boss is already too hard, i won't even mention the boss.

it's really a matter of practicing more, really, but i can't be bothered because of all the loading times.

I can constantly no bomb/no miss the first 2 stages, btw. So it's also a case of good bomb management, i could get to stage 4 more often.

THE THREAD WAS REALLY HOLLOW.

Thread title decided. If I were to name it myself, it'd be another Mushihimesama reference.

Aw I slept through the grand opening of thread 5.  :ohdear:

Another silly Cave commercial.

[Matsuri]

Hahaha, looking up her skirt. Saw that coming a mile away.

The Futari Reco figure doesn't wear panties. I have a friend who can prove it.

[Bananamatic]

I've just realized how great is Battle Garegga's first boss theme :V

Hey, I remember that commercial from a while back.

How incredibly straight forward it was about who they were targeting made me giggle.

[Azinth]

Okay I give up, does anyone have some kind of consistent method for dodging Dangun Feveron's stage 5 boss final attack(yes I'm talking to you Sapz and bofh).  I've tried figuring out if it's aimed or static or something, and sometimes it seems like it is, but I just can't figure it out.

It's the only attack in the fight I don't have down aside from the blue/green streaming attack in the second-last phase, and that's straightforward enough.

Reco's chest is about three sizes too small

IT'S A TRAP

Could I possibly be trying to boost figure sales?

It's a mystery~

[Zengar Zombolt]

boost figure sales?

YOU DO WHAT.

I haven't found anything I'd call consistent; it's a damn hard attack, no way around that. What I did notice, though, was that it becomes considerably easier if you stick to the bottom right section of the screen as you see here. It's a little difficult to describe but you tend to get these large gaps between the seperate waves of small bullets around that area, as well as a significant amount of shots aimed straight down rather than to some weirdass sideways angle. I don't know how well it'd work without Lock to do your damage for you, though. :V

Deathsmiles Limited Edition preordered. 

[Azinth]

I've pretty much decided that if I can secure a job this summer(which I should be able to, looking at my options), I'm going to bite the bullet and get a 360.  The only thing to think about is:  Ketsui or Futari?  It's gonna be tough.
:ohdear:

Oh and 1000th post GET

Both. :V

[Azinth]

Both. :V

Maybe... :V

Out of curiosity, has the price of Futari really gone up by a lot now that it's been out for a while, or is it still around the same price?  I remember for a while everyone was scrambling to buy a copy because they were all afraid that they would sell out real fast and like double in price.

[Aisha]

I think it has, but I haven't been keeping track. Futari is kind of lame in that in order to get the awesome Black Label, you need to buy a hard drive and MS points.

[Matsuri]

It's more than worth it.

The Regular Edition's price really is no different from what it was originally, as well.

The recent Xbox dashboard allows you to use any USB flash drive as a storage medium now.

Ah right..  I guess that works for DLC, but if you want to install games, then a hard drive is still probably best; it's what I'm going for, anyway.
