Shooters (Gradius V, Ikaruga, and the like...)
Well, no thread on shooters that I can see, so I thought I would start one.
Does any one here play shooters?? If so, which ones and what not. I also thought it might be cool to post high scores if you wish as well.
Main shooters I am playing right now are Gradius V for the PS2, Dodonpachi for the Saturn, and E.S.P. Ra.De.
Here is my high score I am kinda proud of right now.
Gradius V - Ayanami - 1,382,450 Type 4

That is pretty good Femto, I think I made it to the 6th stage with out using a coninue when I got my high score. At least there is one other man who digs the shooters on here.Femto wrote:Gradius V is awesome. Can't remember what my high-score is, but I know I can get to the 4th stage at least without using a continue, to the 3rd stage without losing a life if I play it right. Haven't played it lately though.
I'd kill to play Ikaruga...
Have you ever played Ikaruga??
Treasure is indeed the king of shooters, no frontin'.
Man, I actually have two copies of Ikaruga. I just thought you meant that you might have had it and you sold it or some thing like that, I don't know, ignore my ramblings.
So, does any one else wish to join in this conversation I wonder??

Well you already know I am sub-par at shooters. I started playing Gradius V when I saw this, but stopped out of frustraion, I got about 300,000 and got killed right before the 2nd boss. In fact I got killed by him entering the screen
I like Ikaruga though. Seems interesting how it actually gets harder, not easier, when 2 people play together. You gotta coordinate that Polarity.
Player 1: "Hey, you're supposed to by white!"
Player 2: "No I thought we were gonna be black!"
Player 1: "Shit! Stop shooting guys, you're sending shit my way and I'm still white!"
Player 2: "Wait, oh crap!"
*Both players die*
Players 1 & 2: "This is all your fault!"

Well, even after being on a roll in Gradius (I made some move I never thought possible by humans) I still only got to about 350,000.
Meh. I still take pride in my ability to play Blazing Star and Giga Wing. Although Giga Wing gets pretty intense after a while. I swear, you won't even know where all the bullets fired at you are comign from, nor will you care, you just want to dodge and shield them.

Hmmmm, I don't remember seeing a Geist Force. Perhaps it was shot down before it made it to console. I don't know, I would have to check.dos.azn wrote:btw did a Dreamcast shooter named Geist Force ever come out? i remember in the DC launch days, that was supposed to be one of the first games out, but never saw it *shrugs
I will have to check it out some time. Can I get it in stores, do I have to download it, how does one get Freelancer??dos.azn wrote:but on pc, FREELANCER YO!!!!!!!!
