yet its one of the games i hate the most, not because of the game itself but because of the morons that make it seem like radiant silvergun renders other shooters obsolete.
i also hate ikaruga for that, but a bit less. i like playing ikaruga tho, and will probably try to masteer it once i get something decent to play the DC games with(read: NOT the DC controller piece of crap)
if you ask me, i couldnt have made myself more clear, especially considenring i STARDED the post with "i never played RS"
id play it, but shelling that much cash for someething that looks like super aleste? no thanks. i know i can resell it, but if i had 150$ to spare, id buy something im likely to enyoy (like a saturn, a boot CD, layer section and batsugun + some other shit for that price) and its not based on "what i heard", its based on footage of the whole game, and off seeing the game in action.
hell thats not even the subject and i dont know why im discussing this.
radiant IS overrated among the R3TROGAM3R H4rdc0R3 sheep, and that pisses me off. ika suffers from this too.
lets just say ika is an excellent shmup among MANY others (unless you're a graphics whore, then i guess it lowers the count of excellent shmups a bit) and RS is something id rather not play, like super aleste (but there's people that consider super aleste the best game ever, eh?)
thanks for making me write useless crap.
rob: thar review made me laugh, and shenmue is awesome.
