Do sequels make the first installment irrelevent?

[Ed Oscuro]

Yes, more Bio Metal talk, and more about how much 2Unlimited should have been shot dead in an alley, at that.

It's a case-by-case thing.

Exactly.

More often than not though I think the answer is no... but I forget the question.

Admittedly, it's becoming increasingly hard to come up with topics that haven't been discussed over and over before;

Would it really hurt if there was only a few new discussions in shmups chat a week? It could even be almost all talk of new releases or an occasional neglected classic (like Bio Metal or something). That would be better.

I joined the forum right in the midst of STGT 06 so it was quite lively. It took a little time to get used to the Forums quieting down so fast afterwards.

Yeah, I miss the STGT. People were playing games and talking about them, rather than stirring up trouble because their bored. No new Cave ports to look forward to has also slowed things down.

I guess it was good that I joined during STGT. I got to know everybody faster then most new people here, I guess.

And even though I wasn't participating in STGT, it encouraged me to try a little harder at shmups then I do now.
