Yeah? Well, I'm so poor I have to live in the cardboard box that came with my DeathSmiles MegaBlack label kit. I use the POP as a changing screen to get some privacy, and the instruction strip as a belt.

Sadly, the denizens of 4chan tend to put forth less of a pretentious elitist attitude than those of shmups.com. :( And to think I used to love these forums.

It's more correlated to the many shmups.com forumites insisting Ketsui is CAVE's hands-down best game, as though their opinion = fact. You don't see me proclaiming ESPGaluda is their best-ever game.

Eh. I'll stick to games with the Kakusei system. I think that's how Galuda won me over; much less linearity when it comes to scoring. Chaining in Daioujou is remotely more fun than Ikaruga.

may have been said already, I'm not reading this thread:

Ketsui has never been in the top 25 on this site. it's not overrated here, so go post this somewhere else.

It probably will be, this year. Fuck's sake, it's the shmups.com forums' version of Halo 3.

very good point.....people only vote for games they have played before

kinda surprised nobody mentioned that sooner.....i dont pay attention to the top25's....

You know that Ketsui has one of Cave's most flexible scoring systems with close to no linearity?

You would be surprised how much truth that statement holds, regardless of any intended sarcasm. :roll: It's like suddenly everyone decides they love the game, all because of a cash-in on the DS and an upcoming(?) 360 port.

ah come on this is the shmups forum people here generally refer to games as overated or no good if there shit at them or if the game isnt a theme or style they like , espgaluda is probably one of caves most popular shooters and lets face it thats down to how easy it is .

i think its a mix of the easy factor and the PS2 port....galuda is one of the few newer cave games that has a fairly faithful port....so lots of people have played it....

i think you are right to a degree....providing the 360 ketsui port is playable i think it will find a lot of new fans....

Could your grammar possibly get any worse?

Also, I think Ikaruga's an overrated piece of shit, even though I can 1CC the game, so your logic is flawed. (But I must suck at the game, even though I've 1CC'd it)

And since when was ESPGaluda popular? If it was, they would have ported Galuda II to 360 first, not port DOJ... again... :roll:
