DDP DFK BL vs 1.5

Post by Strider77 »

I am thinking about getting one of these but I am pretty sure I can't afford the BL.

I was wondering if any folks have played both and could comment on the two against the each other.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

I'd be interested in some opinions as well. While I "like" 1.5, it certainly isn't love at first sight. Now I really dig that new BL soundtrack and the new (insert red kanji)-mode seems pretty interesting. I just have no idea what's going on :D

I'm probably the only person that thinks BL looks too cluttered and hates the soundtrack.

1.5 on the other hand looks like the perfect game.

This. Only that i haven't played BL yet ;<
But with 1.5, it took me some time to love it.
And now i can't wait for the port.

yee, ateji ftw!

I don't really like DFK 1.5 so BL is my only hope to find true love in the end of the DDP series. There's no way it's better than DOJ BL though...

I haven't played BL so can't comment on it but I really love 1.5! It's the most insane psychedelic shooter I've played. Haven't taken it out of my New Astro City cab for months :D

For me the soundtrack is nothing special apart from the tracks by manabu. Stage 4 themes get annoying :? Oh well, they probably work better in the actual game.

I'll be able to pass judgement once I get my hands on the 360 release.

I love BL, 1.5 seems so boring after playing it. Going into Red Zone and surviving crazy-ass patterns while keeping your chain up is such a rush! I guess there are some things that some people may prefer in 1.5, but I'd def go for BL if I had to choose.
