Patriot Dark vs. Solid State Survivor

Post by Mischief Maker »

Both have scoring systems heavy on the approach, chaining, and bullet cancelling. Which do you think is the better shmup?
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

I personally love PD, and could never really get into SSS. For one thing, SSS looks pretty rough, and PD is a very nice looking doujin game. However, I never really play doujin games for score, just for completion, so I can't compare the scoring systems. I actually tried to figure out PD's scoring system once, but couldn't :D. That said, I wasn't trying very hard. There's the obvious DDP-style chaining, and but then there's also stuff that looks inspired by Ketsui and Galuda that I couldn't figure out.
