Re: Darius II
Nice high-scoring clear, bloody!
General PSA: For some reason the Switch version of Darius II defaults to only 1 extend at 700k. You'll want to go into the options to change that before you play! You need all the help you can get. Luckily extends do not matter whatsoever for score, unlike Darius Extra (or pretty much any other Darius ac game iirc).

Re: Darius II
Odd. When I checked the options it just showed Extends at 700k with no option for just one. Everything else seemed to match the AC defaults too. I have the regular version, maybe the defaults are different with the limited?EmperorIng wrote:Nice high-scoring clear, bloody!

Re: Darius II
Oof, I'll have to check. I could have sworn, but I'll happily allow myself to be wrong.

Re: Darius II
I did check and I was wrong (like a year later lol). Extends at every 700k is the default. I must have accidentally switched something around.EmperorIng wrote:Oof, I'll have to check. I could have sworn, but I'll happily allow myself to be wrong.
Anyhoo since I've been playing this on the Cozmic Collection I hope to see if I can't get an improvement somewhat soon!

I will post my B score later, as I feel I can do better and would like to defeat the great Perikles. Right now I’m mostly focusing on doing a true all clear of the game meaning every single route of the game.

From what I have seen from the Steam and Switch leaderbords it seems that I currently have the second highest scores, and top PS4 score for zones N, O, and P. People that like Darius II and own the Cozmic Collection seriously need to play this arrange, it's so good (even though it's pretty vicious honestly ). Here are the replays

Utterly unremarkable score (I didn't milk anything, was just trying to survive), but since it cracks the top 15 I'll log it to commemorate the 1CC anyway:
Holy wow was the Zone Y boss way easier than the Zone Z thing. It was like a stage 2 Darius Gaiden boss or something.

Re: Darius II
That's a big dropoff. Does V have a lot more points or something? I didn't do any sort of milking from what I remember, I don't even know how to in this game.

Lots of possibilities for increase. Recovering from a death at Yamato isn't really at big deal for me (almost feels like a cakewalk after clearing Difficulty D), but I stil have some trouble destroying as much ennemies in the late stages without full power. I'd like to learn the full Yamato milk eventually, but not now : I've played enough Darius II and deserve a break

No video for the triple screen community record as I'm not satisfied yet, but you can verify the score in Arcade Archives high-score mode. Since you incentivized to post scores in difficulty A I did so for the other arcade versions as well. By the way I don't recommend it for Sagaia Version 1, you can't even reach the last two bomb upgrades which feels very odd. Will try to come back later this year for more score
