surprised you dove into Galuda II without playing Futari first.
If I was steveferris I would've opened Galuda II first as well.

Personally I've always liked the ESP- series quite a lot and never really took interest in Mushi Futari with its 'HARDEST VIDEO GAME BOSS EVER'. All of the ESP- games have a certain level of simplicity to it that stands out against other Cave titles in regards to both survival and scoring, whereas with Futari all I hear is people going "oh its so good totally get it wank wank wank" and that interest factor to actually *get* it just never happens with me.
Futari original mode has the simplest scoring system of any CAVE game in my opinion. thats why its the only CAVE game i actually try to score well in.

Have you really been ignoring Futari this entire time because of a video of the last boss on the hardest difficulty setting, one which brings up a prompt when selected telling you that it's balls hard?
I said the series has a certain level of simplicity. There's not a lot to learn when it comes to its predecessors and once you learn the unique traits of those you already have half of the idea set for getting into ESPGaluda II. The complexities people complain about II is the other half, naturally.

Also, I've been ignoring Futari because I aint getting it till I at least get Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets in my own damn hands. The video reference was my cynic humour coming out, Futari fanboys can hate me all they want or send me a free copy. :P
