Xbox 360: Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 (November 2009)

[Lok]

So the BL download is what causes it. However, since not everyone is experiencing this, might be an issue with the actual XBox360. Reminds me of when people had to download NXE. Some people's perfectly fine 360 red ringed and others it went as planned.

[bcass]

I very much doubt it has anything to do with hardware.

[Special World]

^^^ If you say so.



I'm don't really know how installed games work exactly, but what I do know is when I first played I went to the game menu and selected "play from hard drive"

my games (30 minutes worth) were 100% smooth.

then I stopped, and when I resumed I DIDNT select that. My games had stutter. Multiple times in the first 5 minutes alone.

Then I stopped for a while, and when I resumed I went in the game options and selected "play from hard drive"

I played for an hour or so without any stutter.

Whether or not this is coincidence remains to be seen.

All I can say is black label is amazing.

[bcass]

You haven't been playing long enough to notice it. It doesn't happen very often. I've been playing pretty solidly for 2 days now and have seen the stutter once. It's obviously a software bug. Nothing to do with the hardware, otherwise people would have noticed it before they installed BL.

Once you've installed a game to the hard drive, it plays from the hard drive by default whether or not you specifically select the "Play from hard drive" option.

Finally got my grubby hands on it, thanks to my twin who let me borrow his until mine shows up in the mail.

Black Label is quite awesome.

If you haven't bought it yet, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

Also, installing to hard drive and removing notifications cleared any and all BL issues for me.

[emphatic]

Those who experience stutter, do you also have 1.01? Perhaps having only two of three possible modes, or all three can be a factor?

[Zaarock]

I have 1.01 and Black Label. Experienced the stuttering a few times on the first day I got Black Label, had less yesterday for some reason. Might be because I had a lot of notifications the first time playing (sending various people messages about the mode), but I dont get why the game would break up from the notifications in the system OS.

[Vev]

I don't have the 1.01 DLC but did get BL and have the stutter too, installed to HDD etc.
It's definitely infrequent and I'm not good enough for it to actually make a difference on my playing yet

Just happy to be able to play it at all at the moment I suppose, even if learning all the scoring systems is giving me flashbacks to studying for exams

[bcass]

OK, so it definitely has nothing to do with having 1.01 activated. Everyone should try disabling notifications to see if that stops it.

[Elixir]

I actually did that earlier today, and I only noticed it happen a couple of times, but it didn't prevent it entirely. It must be something else.

[Smraedis]

Have just 1CCed 1.5 Original with score of 178m.
It actually took a bit longer than I thought, as I got the final boss down to almost no health on my 3rd try...

I don't like stage 3 it's much harder than stage 3 of Mushi Original, but stage 4 in Futari isn't too difficult in comparison.

Believe me, I'm with you. Stage 3 is totally, totally evil. I hate the second leg of it (from mid-boss onward) with a passion.

[TLB]

Eh...It's not that hard if you're not trying to score it...I usually no-miss it, IIRC, but I've only played Original a bit myself. I was going to clear it last night, but decided to come over to my friend's house and watch Dirty Harry movies instead.

[CptRansom]

I don't like stage 3 either... mostly because it's been my roadblock in 1.5 Original for a week now. =( I made it almost to the boss once with some complete garbage score of 61m and haven't been able to duplicate it, yet alone surpass it.

Bluh!

Bluh!

Add another to the "FUCK YOU STAGE 3" crowd. I still have to use bombs to get to the boss....and then the boss gets me.

[Skykid]

Eh...It's not that hard if you're not trying to score it....

That's the problem, I'm always trying to score it.

[TLB]

Even then, if you just pay more attention to not getting shot in the dick than to switching C to A, it's really not that bad. ESPECIALLY with all the slowdown in that part.

[Jugiatsu]

This. This with a god damn passion. I always try to go for score when I should just concentrate on clearing stage 3 without dying first. Then my hardcore mode gets activated and I get pissed when I die because my multiplier drops to absolute shit.

Burn in hell forever stage 3.

[Special World]

Does anybody here like 1.5 more than Black Label?

Just curious.

youre not gonna find any1 whose gonna give u that answer especially with all the caves whores here. L33t

[TLB]

1.5 Ultra is harder than GOD. Therefore, I like 1.5 better.

[Jeneki]

GOD: "But ... but ... it's how you use it that counts!"

[CptRansom]

Finally figured out my problem... I try too hard to avoid bombing. I just made it to the stage 3 boss again in 1.5 Original, scored 63M... and used one bomb the entire game. =( I should probably work on that!

Burn in hell forever stage 3.

Scoring becomes a reflex. Best method is just go for score but have an itchy bomb finger - you'll get the numbers you're after then. My problem is I can't take my own advice, I wish bombing was reflex.

Does anybody here like 1.5 more than Black Label?

Just curious.

I've been playing 1.5 PCB non-stop for weeks. Done Original a couple of times with a half decent score and now I'm onto maniac. When I get my port+BL I'll let you know.

[yyr]

1.5 Ultra is harder than GOD. Therefore, I like 1.5 better.

GOD: "But ... but ... it's how you use it that counts!"

I lol'ed.

Just got back from vacation...happy that BL is out...too bad about the stuttering. I haven't seen anyone suggest playing offline yet. Maybe that will help? Yeah, score posting would be disabled, but it might be something worth trying.

[Smraedis]

I think you just have to stay ontop of what is coming next on Stage 3... it feels a bit like Dragon Blaze.. you leave one of those annoying things on the side, and then it spams so many bullets that you have to bomb out or die...

I bomb quite a bit in my runs at the moment, it damages the counter and the end score though.

Agreed, it's the second half of stage3 that's a massive irritation for me in 1.5 Original, especially with Abnormal Palm and his very narrow width Laser. It's especially annoying as I can no-miss no-bomb through stage 4 and 5 with both Palms and Normal Reco, on good days. -_-;;

Abnormal Reco is hilarious to play with, though. Loads of fun, especially in Maniac.

I haven't learned the scoring subtleties of BL yet. Is the general consensus that it is the better of the two?

Stop playing with Palm then! Reco FTW!
