I agree with that.

I should mention 1942 here as well. Never heard such a crappy sound, Vulgus was far better than that :P

It is quite possibly one of the best 3D homebrew shooters I've played ever. most games using 3D graphics feel sloppy and sluggish, but EtherVapor plays like it was designed by pros. just going through the first 2 missions shows some serious quality behind the game's mechanics. (the multi-lock section was brilliant, as was the second boss.) I honmestly can't wait to see the finished product of it.
Sounds cool. I didn't make it back home yesterday so I didn't try the trial yet, I'll try again tonight :D
As much as I like R-Type though, after finally getting all 101 ships I have absolutely no reason to go back to the game. it did feel lack-luster, but me and my obsession for beating games fully was the only reason I got everything. ... I'll probably never go back to it, despite how much I loved playing the Helios ship.
You unlocked all 101 ships? It takes some 40 hours or so :D. You must really be neurotic about beating games or secretly enjoy RTF. If I don't like a game, I play it for one to five minutes and then move on to something better. Nowadays there is an abundance of great games available, so for me playing one single game for 40 hours means that it has to be great (yeah, I also got all ships/levels and beat it on R-TYPER).

I don't really see why every game should be played again and again. I'm fine with an intense one-time experience (although I will dig RTF up one day for old times sake). New stuff is waiting in the line...


P.S. I also enjoyed Nanostray, so maybe I should have my head examined @_@

Such a shame tho cos the previous ones are awesome!
esp the sms.
You didn't answer the question, you just said "it sucks" three different ways, and that the old ones are awesome. Try again poor player.
You obviously cannot read you retard!
"lacked playability" is vague and mostly meaningless.
"feels like a kid wrote the game" is an ad hominem which tells us nothing.
"utter rubbish" is an opinion with no reasons behind it.

I want to know why you think it "lacked playability", what about it makes you feel like a kid wrote it, and what specific aspects of it make it "utter rubbish".

I've not played any bad shooters, really. I'd have to say the "worst" that I've played (and by worst I mean I liked it the least), is GigaWing. GigaWing 2 is pretty close, but has 4 player action going for it, which... While not a huge plus for a shooter, does knock it well above the first game.

Viewpoint on PSX. Viewpoint is good, but the port is mangled beyond playability.
Feedback will set you free.

I've got it, too. Bought it used, but it still has the original price tag on it: $118 !!! Unlike some of the other games mentioned in this thread, that one's a real turd. :D Are there any other Jaguar shmups?

WTF, none of the shooters mentioned in this thread so far are bad.

Check out these piles of shit then you can come back and contribute constructively:

- Legion, PCE
- Deep Blue, PCE
- Honey In The Sky, PCE
- Divine Sealing, MD
- Planet Joker, SAT

And yeah, shooters like R-Type Final and Nanostray aren't bad, at worst they're disappointing, mediocre or unfashionable - not unplayable though.[/quote]

QFT. It's insane to call "Final" one of the worst shooters ever, while there are so many really unplayable shmups- stuff that Japanese players call クソゲー(ksoge).

That 3D version of Shienryu on the PS2 is pretty atrocious. Piss easy, to boot.

I paid £15.99 for R-Type Final a good while back, felt very displeased, although I liked the atmosphere and presentation the pacing was too slow for my liking level 6 I quite liked though.....I suppose Gradius V just raised the bar too high for me, I'd say yes r-final worst commercial shop purchase I've made with regard to shmups. But all time hate is bioship paladin.

Honey in the Sky has a great cover, though!

How about Rock On (Dealy Beloved!)? Or, pretty much anything by Pack-In Video I guess.

:shock:

Hopefully this means you haven´t played a lot of shmups so far... :roll:

As for the worst shmup I´ve played, I honestly can´t even remember it´s name. It was a very old (early 80´s) shmup I´ve tried on Mame, which was so slow in responding for movements it was totally unplayable.
It was even worse than 2002 on the GameKing (and that says something).

Should look up it´s name sometime.

I figure this is as good a place as any to announce this:
I'm going to try to 1CC Planet Joker this week. I've made it to the final boss before *shudders*. So... hopefully I can do this in as few runs as possible.

"But why!?"


... just so I can say I did...
