I'd rather watch other, more skilled people, play shmups than play shmups myself.

People who play shmups should be called shmuppets.

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.
Re: Unpopular opinion / Hot take thread - get it off your ch
Twitchdoctor used to call us "Shmup-Os" which has always stuck in my head, but Shmuppets is maybe better.

i like r-type final
:c
EDIT: Actual hot take. Konami Arcade Collection was underwhelming as hell. Not the porting job, but the selection. I think what makes me most mad about it is Haunted Castle when they already had a Castlevania Collection along with it... And I'm getting sick of Gradius 1 and 2. That makes like what? 4 different ports of 1 on the Switch? NES Online, Gradius Vs, stand alone Gradius AC, and then this? Like why? Can we get the other ones?
Though come to think of it, I'm not really feeling all of those collections. But that was the worst of them.

Dragon Blaze is poop
Pulstar is the best R-Type game
Pooyan is criminally underrated

Pooyan is good stuff, if only it didn't fill me with the urge to slaughter woodland predators with a crossbow and/or put down my triple bacon sub.
Well AKSHUALLY HC was an unrelated horror game that was languishing in development, so they rebadged it as a Dracula. Then all the extra devs they'd assigned to salvage it returned to their projects, and it was kicked out the door sans playtesting, which is why it is broken and generally crummy (while it's a bad game, I like HC for what it can be wrangled into: X-TREEEM survival memoriser where cleaner play = cleaner drawers. you pay for end-stage HP restores with your hearts, which you'll want to keep for time-freezing, because Simon's ass is fat and the hitboxes are dumb)XoPachi wrote:Konami Arcade Collection was underwhelming as hell.

ACA Trigon's out tomorrow, joining Detana Twinbee from last year (and Sunset Riders). I'm hoping we'll see more late-80s/early to mid-90s Konami STGs from Hamster (read: Gradius III, Parodius Da!, XEXEX).... And I'm getting sick of Gradius 1 and 2.

Sisters Royale is better than any of the Shikigami games.

Of course, that's just an opinion.

Touch screen controls are the future and the best way to play shmups.

Re: Unpopular opinion / Hot take thread - get it off your ch
Why do people dislike the touch controls so much? I played a little of that Mushihimesama port for iOS and it felt totally overpowered - you have analogue control of your ships movespeed! Especially on a tablet with the big screen. Or is that why people dont like it?
Re: Unpopular opinion / Hot take thread - get it off your ch
I like glowing keyboard keys and those razer/kailh opto-mechanical switches. I like the cherry MX browns on the Filco quite a bit, but I'm not sure if I like them as much as the Outemu browns on the Havit wireless keyboard I bought. The outemu browns seem to be a slight bit more tactile. I prefer Cherry MX blues over the brown switches. Love that click.

Not Mushi, but for the shooters I have played on a phone (in particular Raiden Legacy), I hate that my fingers are in the way of where I want to see.laurabuzz wrote:Why do people dislike the touch controls so much?

Re: Unpopular opinion / Hot take thread - get it off your ch
Analog controls in general suck for shmups. It makes it harder to make precision tap dodges to get into position if the control scheme registers a movement as moving farther than you intended to move. Touchscreens also are a pain to hold, don't always register super accurately, and your finger naturally covers the screen. Digital controls feel much better, and also allow for balancing shot types around their movement speed, instead of touchscreen controls where due to the interface you usually make the movement as fast as the person's finger is moving.laurabuzz wrote:Why do people dislike the touch controls so much?
