Re: ShMeme-The Shmup Meme Thread

Re: ShMeme-The Shmup Meme Thread
Could be because of its severely over-hyped/"sacred cow" status among more casual/non-shmup players. Comparing literally every shmup (and sometimes non-shmup games) to Ikaruga is/was a classic Gaming Journalist move (as was Sine Mora for about a week and a half). You could say that Ikaruga is the Dark Souls of shmups, even.Xer Xian wrote:How can an entire game be considered a memeRue wrote:
I guess Radiant Silvergun could probably be considered something of a meme as well, given how infamously-gouged the prices for the Saturn port is. Speaking of which, was it Sonic Wings 3 for AES that had that shitstorm about it? But I guess that's more of a collector meme than a shmup meme.

RSG is more like Dracula X (PCE) - it was never actually that pricey or rare, even now, so much as it's always been lauded as an import killer app.mamboFoxtrot wrote:I guess Radiant Silvergun could probably be considered something of a meme as well, given how infamously-gouged the prices for the Saturn port is.
These days both are downright reasonable compared to the fuckery going on with other titles/platforms. RIP Super Famicom halcyon days. 3; AES is a fucking horror show of comedy prices and, even worse, entrenched counterfeiting. I wonder when the latter will really bite down on the relatively "mainstream" consoles... MD and its snapcases in particular.
Slightly different situation - Aero Fighters 3 AES was an outright fabrication made up by some counterfeiting cunt named DavidG, and sold for a cut to the English-speaking AES community by brazen thief/TOTALLY INNOCENT PATSY TonK (pick a story - total shitshow either way).Speaking of which, was it Sonic Wings 3 for AES that had that shitstorm about it? But I guess that's more of a collector meme than a shmup meme.
Five or so copies iirc, sold for thousands apiece. Much hilarity ensued at the Neo Geo.com forums when DavidG's swiss cheese-esque story came out. "MY UNCLE WORKED FOR SNK DOODS, I FOUND DEEZE RARE CANCELLED GAMES IN HIS GARDEN SHED" about covers it.
Not to be confused with the official, uncontroversial Japanese AES release of Sonic Wings 3.

Hem, up to about the 2007~ish turn console games in the 150~ were still considered damn expensive!BIL wrote:RSG is more like Dracula X (PCE) - it was never actually that pricey or rare, even now, so much as it's always been lauded as an import killer app.
Ah shit, remembering that period and all the missed opportunities to complete my collection still pisses me off (a bit)

A classic shitpost, but nevertheless exquisite. Almost as classic as the good ol' "Ikaruga isn't even a shmup".Deadliar wrote:a good summary is that Ikaruga is a cool game but a shit shmup
Re: ShMeme-The Shmup Meme Thread
We're in the ShMeme thread and you're expecting me to not shitpost?
It's like telling me not to crap in the toilet.
How about something actually on topic.
Didn't Blazing Star create the fail meme or something

Re: ShMeme-The Shmup Meme Thread
Technically all the Ikaruga discussion in this topic is off-topic since it hardly qualifies as a shmup anyway.
Ikaruga is more like a puzzle game.

At this rate, I won’t be interested into shmups anymore. I am no longer going to be active in this forum from now on. I am more interested into Kemono Friends, rhythm games, D4DJ, Puzzle Games, Hololive, and Pretty Cure.

One could say Ikaruga is a very polarizing game, heh...
Re: ShMeme-The Shmup Meme Thread
I'd also like to point out that Radiant Silvergun is not a very good shmup.Plasmo wrote:Technically all the Ikaruga discussion in this topic is off-topic since it hardly qualifies as a shmup anyway.

I don't know why it has ever been in a top 10 shmup list, everyone knows that Mushihimesama is a better shmup.

Harder than Mushihimesama Ultra Mode. I noticed Jaimers91 typed that in Undertale All Bosses Compilation during the battle of Mettaton EX with that pop quiz segment.5pectre wrote:Touhou is harder

And it looks like we can call this one finished. Ain't no one topping that.
You're sure to be in a fine haze about now, but don't think too hard about all of this. Just go out and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good. You know, it's just what hunters do! You'll get used to it.
