I've never played Divine Sealing :x

Try it.

It's so bad, it's good. Well, not really, it's actually just bad. Goes good with alcohol, though. Or maybe only because it makes the game tolerable. I don't remember.

Matsuri · « **Reply #812 on:** February 01, 2010, 10:39:34 PM »

No alcohol; I won't even be 20 until a week from now :x

JUST YOU WATCH I WILL DOWNLOAD AND 1CC THIS WHILE COMPLETELY SOBER :V

Aisha · « **Reply #813 on:** February 01, 2010, 10:57:04 PM »

Hahaha.

I remember it getting brutally hard in that cheap "lol I don't know how to design a shmup" way in the last few stages. They probably thought that adding in bits of Genesis quality porn between the levels would motivate people to finish the game. :V

Once you lose your soul to CAVE, it's hard to win it back. But why would you want to? :V

KOA · « **Reply #819 on:** February 02, 2010, 07:04:20 AM »

You finally CAVE'd in.

Observer · « **Reply #820 on:** February 02, 2010, 04:13:20 PM »

So, I've been playing the new trial of Stella Vanity. The guy learned his lesson and seems he brought back the Espgaluda-like mode for the first character but now things seems to have a blurry glow that makes things hard to see and enemies/items look smaller now what the hell. Maybe I should lower the detail so I can actually see wtf is on screen.

Still, the song on stage one cuts way earlier so I would rather have a different, shorter one rather than hearing chopped, faded-out versions that don't even reach the middle or run in synchrony with the stage as it used to happen in the very first 0.10 version.

Definitely a bit better and seems he's ripping off Progear with the colour of the silver gems? Barrages appear to be faster too so there is even more challenge packed but, despite all the CAVE homage, it's not Crimzon Clover and its mean machines :V

It's a pity, I know there is a decent game here but... but Crimzon Clover is around. D'oh!

Sapz · « **Reply #821 on:** February 02, 2010, 07:32:50 PM »

AAAGHGAGAHAGAGAH etc.

If I hadn't messed up that DDP run at two crucial points, I could have entered the second loop via scoring and finally gotten my 1cc .inp. ;_; I managed to perfect stage 4 for the first time; however, this was only after dying with full bombs in stock on the easy pre-boss part of Stage 3... that should have been a x5 max bombs multiplier until Stage 5, possibly even x6 a little way into that. The other big screwup was dying at 1/5 to the enemies that drop the powerups just before the Stage 6 boss (I have no idea how I managed that) and dying again at 0/5 to the boss's fourth phase. I must remember to bomb that... <_<

Try B-L instead.
The best I've ever done was make it to stage 5 of DOJ where the bosses from DDP come and attack you. I would do a lot better if I would stop dying on stage 4. =(

Azinth · « **Reply #823 on:** February 03, 2010, 02:14:44 AM »

new Guwange score

First three stages were 2hit/0deaths, followed by two deaths in stage 4. Stage 4 overall is a huge cockblock for me scoring and survival-wise. Lots of strict memorization, and if you don't carry out your route carefully you get aimed walls thrown at you all over the place. I lost my chain at the final segment of stage 5.

Oh, and I made an input of this run. Not that it matters because it's not very good.

Ghaleon · « **Reply #824 on:** February 03, 2010, 06:26:27 AM »

WTF, Stupid crimson clover trial doesn't even let you finish off the boss before it gives you a game over?!
Unlimited mode is stupid hard. I mean, there's like 4 difficulty settings missing in between that and original. I seriously wonder if it's even possible. I think it would be if the popcorn enemies didn't flood you with bullets, but seems like they just force you to stream in one direction with no hope of changing, which walls you against bigger enemy fire. We'll see in time though I suppose. If it is possible it'll be impressive for sure.

Is it possible to unlock new purchases in the shop? Or are they pretty much "not this version" material.

Aisha · « **Reply #825 on:** February 03, 2010, 06:30:17 AM »

The trial only lets you buy credits and a sample of Unlimited Mode.

In Unlimited Mode I noticed that your Break meter goes up really fast. I'm not sure if it's because there's just so much more shit on the screen, or because it's slightly tweaked to fill up faster. The only way I could make any decent progress was to pretty much release bombs as soon as possible.

Ghaleon · « **Reply #826 on:** February 03, 2010, 06:57:26 AM »

Oh yeah, totally forgot a giant huge + about Crimzon clover...the boundaries of the screen limit how far you can move using your HITBOX, not your whole damn ship, or some arbitrary random location. I hate trying to push the edge of the screen on other shooters only to die because the game decides I have to stop by a certain point, and not when my hitbox is at the edge. arrrr!

Aisha · « **Reply #827 on:** February 03, 2010, 07:00:14 AM »

I hate that. It drives me crazy. I can't remember the last shmup I played that did that, though. Shikigami no Shiro, maybe? It's been a while.

Ketsui Death Label on the DS on Very Hard mode.

I don't like myself.

CINDERELLA AMBEEEERRRRRRR!

I wanna play Ketsui Death Label

lmagus · « **Reply #830 on:** February 03, 2010, 05:13:54 PM »

When my wife had a DS I remember I finished all modes (Novice~Hard C) in a day, took another day to finish Very Hard and never finished Death Label or Doom Mode =(

KOA · « **Reply #831 on:** February 03, 2010, 07:25:24 PM »

You forgot Extra Mode, which gets unlocked after you cleared Death Label mode.

Today, I finally took the plunge and ordered a Japanese 360 with Mushi Futari. \o/ I can't wait to play it.

Oh God I hate Guwange's stage 2 boss, it is so, so much worse than Catspider. Mostly because, despite being easier pattern-wise, he's much less susceptible to strategic bombing. Plus, getting hit by him makes you miss the 2000 coin bonus in stage 3 and makes it easier to die in stage 3, which kinda ruins your run right off the bat.
