JSS & CS are both soo good. Can't say I really know what is going on with CS though. Each stage has a different scoring mechanic and I haven't figured out them all yet.nZero wrote:TheSoundofRed wrote:

Yeah, that's the one confusing me too: most of the others are pretty cut and dry (kill lots of stuff, get lots of items, don't die, etc.), but I've got no idea what's up with the "scanning" thing.nZero wrote:What are all of the events in Greed? I'm only getting 60~70% scanning rate in that section.
They seemed to work as I set them, for me...Is it me or are the control options in CS broken?
I wouldn't think so - something or other makes "No. XX" messages pop up next to enemies at certain points (no idea what the "numbers" refer to), and whatever it is is the key. I managed to get around 60 percent "scanned" without defeating anything with the shield, so I doubt that's it...CaptainRansom wrote:Maybe it has to do with killing/damaging enemies using your shield?
You also get a popup for erasing a bullet in that pattern (or each type of bullet?) with your shield. I'm over 70% now but still...Nick420 wrote:It seems to count paterns as they pass your ship. I was experimenting by letting enemies fire more patterns before i killed them but it still allways ends up between 50 and 60 percent. I can get an A or higher in every section except that one and the one where you have to keep killing enemies when ur guage is at 100. Ive played many runs of this now and i still cant beat the mirror boss. Its driving me nuts! lol
That part where the grey, spinning paddle looking things keeps raping my life stock and i lose my last life on one of the upcoming patterns.
Thanks for the tips mannZero wrote: You also get a popup for erasing a bullet in that pattern (or each type of bullet?) with your shield. I'm over 70% now but still...
The one where you have to kill the enemies at 100x is easy to A, just use your shield to ram them when they come on screen, then use the narrow shot on the pattern that always comes in from above you and circles around no matter how high up the screen you are.
The rank you get on each sin affects what the 7 small mirror shields drop in the first part of the final area. If you need extra lives for the final boss, try to clear stages with B rank, since that will make them drop 1ups.

You're not the only one, I feel the same way.CaptainRansom wrote:I actually like the art in Eschatos.
And I think Original mode is a ton of fun and very easy to just pick up and play.
...I'm weird.
Eschatos has Original (with Easy, Normal, Hard, Hardest), Advanced (same as Original), and Time Attack (haven't tried it yet). JSS and CS have Easy/Normal/Hard, I'm pretty sure. It's definitely a good variety!chempop wrote:How many modes/games/difficult settings are there exacty? I'm considering getting this but know very little about it. Hearing good things about Cardinal Sins and JSS has made my ears perk up quite a bit, plus soundtrack means ALOT to me. Thanks.
They look fine. They haven't been enhanced in any way, except that they allow you to turn off sprite flicker. Even so, they don't look jarringly ugly or anything. Just your standard 8-bit sprites, with some neat looking bosses every once in a while. IMO they're well worth the package alone; they're both very well-made games.Pharos wrote:How do the Wonderswan games hold up graphically on the larger screen? Are just a straight port or have they been enhanced in any ways?
For me it's the loading between area sections. Yeah, the load times are mercifully short and other games are probably just hiding theirs behind score tally screens, but that doesn't make it any less jarring when everything freezes up for a second or two.drunkninja24 wrote:I have to say, my only real disappointment with this game so far is that the packaged OST doesn't include the boss track

Sounds good, thanks. I'll definitely have to check this game out when I get some time.Special World wrote: They look fine.

Only the first print was supposed to have the soundtrack CD. But who knows maybe they'll decide to include it again.Damocles wrote:AmiAmi just allowed orders for this again and, as I didn't get around to placing an order the first time, I would like to order it now. Will the soundtrack come with new orders, or was that just for the first run?
You have to kill enemies and delete a bullet of each type with your shieldRemxi wrote:Any tips for JSS/CS? Are there any parts of JSS I should be using the shield to attack enemies? How does the damage compare between narrow shot, point-blank wide shot and shield? Is the key to getting a higher scan percentage in CS just killing the enemies quicker (or do I need to delay on a particular enemy to see all of it's patterns)?
I haven't even been playing Eschatos, just these two.
