Shooters with unfair bosses

You would open your mouth wouldn't you.

Seriously, Shikigami 3's 5-1 and 5-2 bosses are specifically designed to not let you past. Bosses in most games have simple techniques or patterns to exploit. These two are dependent on life and bomb stock. >_<

And Shikigami 3's last boss reminds me of Shikigami 1's second-to-last boss - some huge bug-like monster that you fly around, picking bits off it. Both are stupidly hard too.

But the point is: some players demand "xtreme" games. Cave did an "extreme" game. That boss is an ehm, "xtreme" challenge but it's not impossible. It's exagerated, sadistic and maybe unfair, but that's what the players wanted, and it's possible to do. Give a "normal" true last boss to japanese players (ops, sorry, I said japanese!) and they will beat it in some months and forget the game. Give them DOOM, for example, and they'll play for years.
please dont ever say "xtreme" again.. it takes me back to the time when everything was so "XTREME.." and makes me cringe.

I'd have Kakashi holding an open banana in Naruto's mouth suggestively if I didn't lose it in a hard drive crash

so instead here's this gem from 2004 in IRC

And i forgot
Shikigami 2's 5-1 boss(Haven't got to 5-2 boss on boss rush mode) he's really crazy i hate him! his patterns are so inevadable like purple spray + invicible thunder balls from the back man that's just freakin crazy

BTW, Willy Wonka already did that pattern.

The japanese should play more Gigawing, I guess.

"The Japanese"

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 9:36 am

Oh no, I've said "Japanese" again!
Btw, Cave makes games for the "japanese" arcade market, not for you and me, sadly.

I'm all for no one mentioning them again.

Well, we're talking about jaxxxxxx games but...
Ok, but we should ban "Gigawing" and "Mars Matrix " too

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 9:50 am

No, Capcom saw fit to target them at us, too! Fair game.

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 10:01 am

We should wait the opinion of Willy Wonka, I think

Atomic · Post by **Atomic** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 10:01 am

why cant we mention "the ja@&#^$*?"

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 10:14 am

Because they're unfair

I hate that stupid special level in Parodius that randomly pops up. I've only beaten it once without dying. Get stuck on the left side, any tips with the springy face?

rubbing warm peanut butter on your nipples while chanting "springy face unspring forth" works pretty well for me.

I'll remember to try that

I'm mature enough, really I am!

You should hear the stuff we talk about while we are out running for Cross Country. This doesn't even compare.
