Shmup Ticker: What are you playing RIGHT NOW?

[null1024]

Dangun, got to level 3 [woo, third time ever], every death was totally retarded though, in the WHERE THE HELL DID I GET HIT variety.

[sjoecool1991]

Playing Radirgy/Radilgy/Radio Allergy
Game is insanely fun, scoring is fun, everything about it is just....fun!

[TrevHead (TVR)]

A bit of Edens Aegis for a you tube vid im making, im thinking of abandoning it due how terrible a recording of my voice sounds.

Plus i played Exceed 3rd Black Package for the 1st time. Its quite a enjoyable game. I love the fact it has a seperate slow button that i can use instead of the auto slow when focus firing. As the time gap between holding fire and the ship/avatar actually slowing down can take a while in some shooters. plus every now and again the ship will suddenly speed up for a sec or 2 (probably the pad)

[saucykobold]

Still playing a lot of X-Multiply, but I've also been dabbling with Forgotten Worlds. Terrific game. I think you need to depend too heavily on the megacrush at the end, but that's just a quibble.

Darius, Darius II, Darius Gaiden, G-Darius and R-Type II.
I forgot how bloody good Darius Gaiden was. Man, that is a fun game. I still suck at it though, haven't been able to get to any stage 5 area in ages...
I'd like the first Darius more if it didn't have checkpoints, and the second more if it didn't throw so much on the screen at you all at once so early on.

Also, G-Darius runs 100% full speed in MAME! Yay! [although, I turned off sound because it's totally broken in .128, and probably still totally broken even in .137]
I was so happy, because I really did not feel like having another huge PSX ISO [well, compared to the ROMs] on my drive to get it to run fast.
Didn't play it terribly much though because I was only testing it. Played Darius II most, and I suck loads at it, although that's probably due to the fact that I've barely begun to memorize the stages, and going at it is really different from R-Type with how fast everything is here.

[edit, made my post more [or maybe less] coherent, less typoized]

[Pirate1019]

Shuffling between Mushi Futari Original and Arrange modes. Original because I want to accomplishing something, and Arrange to ease my broken heart when I fail to do so.

Stage 3 needs to fuck off and die.

Pulled out Sonic Wings Special. Got through the game with Volk, no second loop... Is there a second loop?

Also decided to give Strikers 1945 some more time. Much like Strikers 1945 Plus, I'm noticing that most bosses and large enemies love to sit in the middle of the screen and then throw stupid fast patterns at you. If I manage to get through the first loop, I'll call it a day with this game.

On sonic wings special when you clear the game another character is made available next to one you completed with select this char for a more difficult loop i believe .

[Marurun]

I'm trying to play Dimahoo at the moment. The game angers me to no end when I'm trying to collect treasures whilst avoiding enemies.

[ROBOTRON]

Everyday Shooter - PS3

I forgot how cool that earthworm stage is.

[null1024]

Radiant Silvergun, and I still suck...

[clp]

playing some ddp daioujou and wow does it look good via pcsx2 , if only ibara worked

[EPS21]

Trying to just keep my lives and going for the 1cc instead of trying crazy scoring techniques in Espgaluda II atm.

[Chacranajxy]

I'm playing Espgaluda II on the 360 right now, and I'm not very good... I can only get to the third stage boss. Granted, I've only had the game for like 2 days, and I've never really played a bullet hell shmup seriously prior to this, but I'm being made to look like a bitch. And I'm loving it.

[TrevHead (TVR)]

I had forgotten just how much fun ChoRenSha is to play (i suck at getting a full pwr up ring though)
BTW is there a difference in any other the 3 versions? which one is best?

plus still playing Exceed 3rd Black package as although ive 1CCed it i still need to do the extra stage

Supposedly, according to the site run through Google Translate, "The game content is the same for any version".
Also, Axelay and RSG. I suck at both.
I don't know how I suck at Axelay though, when it gives you so many extra lives...

[Ride88]

DODONPACHI BLACK LABEL EXTRA -- Am getting there slowly

[Trevor spencer]

DODONPACHI BLACK LABEL EXTRA -- Am getting there slowly

Good game but i find the chaining a bit to strict

[ZOM]

^^ a bit? They're crazy! Like an (in)famous fellow shmupper once said: "Hard as black cock".
Still a great game tho.

Espgaluda 2 on my iPhone.

Espgaluda 2 on my iPhone.

I'll take that as a yes.
I wish I had a fucking 3GS, only have a 3G available to me...


Oh, and playing DDP + some Mars Matrix.

[BIL]

Quick 1cc of Thunder Force III, no-missed while doing bouncing cock pushups on the controller as per forum regulations (actually, quite a few misses here and there). Probably the only shooter I'll play largely for its soundtrack. The tunes from Hades on are absolutely killer.

[durias]

Ironclad.

[jonny5]

guwange and trouble witches AC

[durias]

Iron-effin'-clad.

[s3rris]

Iridion 2 and Nanostray 2.

So far I'm liking both.
