[X360] Mushihime-sama Futari Ver. 1.5 is region free

[lawnspic]

I think this was discussed earlier but cant find it now. What are some suggestions with trying to keep an eye on the counter changing from green to blue. Its hard not to get distracted when looking back and fourth. Any good strategy ideas?

[honorless]

I stayed away from Death Smiles specifically because everytime it was mentioned it was followed by "loli goth". No thanks.

I wonder how many other people don't seem to realize that the fuck-pillow merch Cave peddles to the SO RONERY crowd =/= the actual games. At least with Ikeda-directed shooters. Yagawa's have been pretty lol.

You may not enjoy Deathsmiles's theme, which is understandable. But unless magical girls flying around in frilly dresses ala Sailor Moon offends your delicate sensibilities, the game is pretty innocuous.

Im colorblind. Is this gonna be some trouble?

If you start up a lolicon debate now I think we'll slip over some legal restrictions on tedium.

[Special World]

Personally I'm not really bothered by a game's design aesthetics as long as the game is good and looks pleasant. It doesn't have to have stellar graphics, it doesn't have to be badass bullshit, but it does have to not be jarring on the eyes. A good or bad aesthetic will slightly raise or lower my enjoyment of a game, but much like lyrics in music, it won't make or break the equation.

I'd really like to play death smiles because:
a) Cave rocks
b) I love horror themes (though its not really horror enough for me, more halloweeney)
c) I like the idea of things coming from both sides. Reminds me of Gate of Thunder, which rocks but needs a little something extra to be truly amazing, which I think Cave would provide.

I'm really not bothered by the fact that somebody would see me playing a game where little girls shoot monsters. People only bug you if you let them. You can like all sorts of weird nerdy shit and still be a cool guy.

In normal mode, does being closer to a boss trigger more green gems when you destroy one of its phases? Or does that only apply to normal enemies?

One thing has been helping me some was to create a few 'Extra' windows and place them around the screen zoomed into the P1 Scoring area.

Its still kinda tricky, because green and blue so similar it usually doesn't register in my peripheral vision the same way as when I'm playing something like tetris.

I think I read that black label added a chime when the colors switch, that sounds super useful.

For me, it's easier to see/remember the numbers you have to switch at rather than the colors.

Original = shot when the hundreds digit is 0-4, laser when it's 5-9.
Ultra = switch every 2000.

angrycoder, you're right about Black Label. I kinda wish they hadn't used the same chime as inserting a coin, though.

[lawnspic]

Thanks for the reply. I guess those arcade pros have good peripheral vision. I bet from playing it so long they just know when to use shot and laser. I assume after a while of playing the game it just becomes second nature so to speak.

Seriously. I hate the soul cancer as much as anyone else, but Deathsmiles is my favorite. The Halloween theme drowns out the loli.

I'm gonna be playing in 480p 3:4, so I'm only gonna be running a single window, so I won't have the zoomed in score counter option. I trust that since people have been playing and enjoying the game for sometime now without that option, that it won't be much of a problem.

angrycoder, you're right about Black Label. I kinda wish they hadn't used the same chime as inserting a coin, though.

haha, I guess this won't be a problem in the port at least.

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Fuck. Now I gotta find pics of that Reco figure. Hentai figures? *roll*

[Jugiatsu]

I love the theme that was in Deathsmiles but wasn't so hot on the backgrounds of the 2nd one. I thought they were terrible but that is just one lonely Shmup player's opinion. And since this topic is about Futari I must say a big-breasted women and 12 year old boy riding around on giant (in comparison to their rider) beetles and dragonlings is just awesome.

Oh and you get to shoot down a giant mechanical squid looking monster. Sold right there.

[brokenhalo]

Watching those videos of novice ultra makes it seem on par with Espgaluda imo

nah, i 1cc'd it (just barely, one bomb left) my first try. on the other hand, i still don't have a galuda 1cc due to that final final boss pattern. novice ultra seems like a fun one to play for score when you don't want to get your ass handed to you too bad though.

[AraraSPAMWitch]

I do not understand the weird sexual thing with this game. I've only watched vids on YouTube and haven't seen anything tasteless, but I just keep reading things about loli, panties, etc.

Nah, this shit is mad raunchy, makes DS look like Mr. Roger's neighborhood. Palm and Reco are totally fucking, just look at the stage clear screens:

Stage 1: Reco walking in the forest :0 "whoa look at the sleeping shota KAWAII NEEEEEE"

Stage 2, "Hey little shota, follow me, we'll play fun games SNOW BLOWING O SHIMASHOUKA?"

Stage 3, after the deed, Palm sitting next to his ho, just chilling with his arms behind his back "YEAH I BE FUCKING BITCHES"

God, Cave is so fucking immoral, I should go play Fantasy Zone or something instead of this filth, shmups should reinforce positive moral lessons...

Let me get this straight. You avoided one of the best arcade games released on the 360 this year, because you think you have gaming standards. Gaming standards which you must uphold, so you and all your friends will be satisfied with the level of hardcoreness you get from playing manly vertically scrolling space shooters with manly spaceships blowing up other manly, angry spaceships.

Do you always define your own personal taste by what others think?

[Special World]

Dude he's not gonna respond, he's out playing sports and chatting up bitches.

[angrycoder]

This thread has been like the blind leading the blind from start to finish.

I'd have to agree, it's getting a bit silly how many times the same questions have been asked.

I thought it was already dumb when all the people that joined shmups just to post about this game and in this thread were giving hourly shipping updates as to the whereabouts of their package.

Agreed, 3 pages later and it just keeps getting worse.

Seriously people:

NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOUR FUCKING UPS TRACKING

NOBODY GIVES A SHIT IF YOU DID OR DID NOT GET YOUR DLC CARD

NOBODY GIVES A SHIT IF YOU THINK THE DLC CARDS ARE FAIR OR NOT

NOBODY GIVES A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK OF LOLIS

NOBODY GIVES A SHIT IF YOUR FUCKING 360 IS DEAD OR NOT

YOU ARE NOT A BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE SNOWFLAKE, NOBODY FUCKING CARES

[adversity1]

you mad

[Special World]

Guys, do you think DLC cards are fair?

This thread is troubling me. I know, let's point out the current issues with it and disregard how hypocritical it is to post something as equally, if not more off-topic than those present issues I'm going to address.

Apparently this act of snobbery and being wary of a game that has, as far as I was aware, been made known to feature an underage girl and her lack of panties has come off to you as being in bad taste. I apologize. Next time someone mentions a shooter and how it features "lolis" and "panties" I'll make sure to slobber an adequate amount.

Though I don't know how me avoiding a game due to "rumors" of partially nude underage girls constitutes me being "manly" and how me not going through the lengths to import said game from a foreign country is tantamount to me being "hardcore", but I don't think logic is your strong point.

Stick to fapping to your Naruto porn, son.

[StarCreator]

Hi, look, I have something new to add!

And since this topic is about Futari I must say a big-breasted women and 12 year old boy riding around on giant (in comparison to their rider) beetles and dragonlings is just awesome.

He's actually 9 years old, if you believe the soundtrack's track listing.

Reading this makes it really clear that don't know the first thing about Death Smiles, importation, or how to post without acting insecure. Thank you.

Nice armchair-internet psychiatry there son. My self esteem was definitely in check before you came along.

[Elixir]

The whole "b-but I d-don't want to i-import something with little girls! The f-feds might get me!" thing. Is your father a pedo? No? Then you have nothing to worry about.

You don't have to like the tone of the game, but that doesn't make the game bad. In fact, Death Smiles is a great game and the theme fits really well. Not importing it due to "rumours" (which probably don't even exist but hey, the shoe fits) is your problem, and you're the one that's going to be missing out.

Edit: I see you edited your response again. Maybe you'd like to edit a few more times and add some more witty comebacks instead of addressing the point.

What point? I have no problem admitting I was wrong. I entered this thread STATING that "This is what I hear, yet I don't see it". Instead of, you know, correcting me or informing me that what I've read isn't quite the truth and, hey, I'm missing out on a good game, you obviously thought it easier to just be a prick about it and started with the ad hominem rhetoric about "manliness" and "insecurities".

You seriously can't be surprised at someone's reaction after that. The dick bags over at NeoGAF responded more politely than you did.

For shame.

[dcharlie]

The dick bags over at NeoGAF responded more politely than you did.

woah there, lets not blow things out of proportion!

[Elixir]

So you only quote the latter half of what I have to say, still not addressing the point.

You originally asked why I said you were acting insecure, then you edited your post saying that your self esteem was already in check. Ironic.

The point is that Death Smiles is great and there's nothing wrong with importing it, you're just cutting your nose to spite your face for no reason at all. Import it or don't; I really don't care. This isn't NeoGAF, this isn't "screw your nose up at every icecream thread or anything anime", coming into a forum and saying "No way am I buying this shooting game, it has loli shit in it!" (which is basically what you said) isn't going to win you points with anyone.

[Momijitsuki]

Bitching about a game just 'cause people say that the main character doesn't wear panties, especially when you can't see such a thing anyway in the game, is pretty stupid.

Hey, did you know that there's porn on the internet? Perhaps you should swear that off too.
