Pends. I dont like cave or touhou danmakuses because they have a "liar hitbox", i hate it. Psikyo and raizing danmakuses are great.
3rd option for me

Yes. On cave and touhou games, people can pass (with luck) through a wall of bullets. Try it on Dragon blaze or Armed police batrider and tell me what happens

STGnoob · Post by **STGnoob** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 4:26 pm

Yeah, but armed police batrider has a hitbox so big, yo momma could hit it.

Bee Cool · Post by **Bee Cool** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 5:27 pm

Just because they have small hitboxes doesn't mean that they are randomly gone. When you pass though bullet clouds it isn't "luck" you just did the correct movements that time to get through, it's not a dice roll.

You've always spelt that wrong Mister Mills.

Non Danmaku for me. Straining my eyes and threading the eye of a needle a thousand times isn't quite where its at for me.

Funen1 · Post by **Funen1** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 8:45 pm

Danmaku for me. I may not have as much exposure to different games as others here, but danmaku ones in particular were what got me into the shooting game genre as a whole, so yeah.

Oh, and if you can pass through a wall of bullets, even by sheer luck, then it's not really a wall, is it? :V

Blackbird · Post by **Blackbird** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:05 am

I'm more about the overall experience. Good gameplay, colorful graphics, awesome sound, and I'm totally there. It doesn't matter if it's got three bullets or three thousand.

Udderdude · Post by **Udderdude** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:39 am

Danmaku fo lyfe :O

ChainsawGuitarSP · Post by **ChainsawGuitarSP** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:51 am

Non-danmaku. Nothing beats the rush of just narrowly avoiding shots you were barely able to react to.

Bananamatic · Post by **Bananamatic** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:56 am

it's about quality, not quantity brah

speed>amount of bullets

is psikyo even bullet hell

ChainsawGuitarSP · Post by **ChainsawGuitarSP** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 1:12 am

So does this mean you've disowned Cave, Banana? Have you discovered the magic of Toaplan?!

Bananamatic · Post by **Bananamatic** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 1:23 am

I play cave for the presentation and music(and 1cc sometimes)

I'd rather play touhou for score than cave for score

Haven't played a Toaplan game yet but I'm starting to like Psikyo for score for how simple the scoring is to understand

Rozyrg · Post by **Rozyrg** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 1:36 am

I like the speed and flashiness typical to the 'bullet hell' variety shooter; but ultimately, I don't have the concentration or patience necessary to play them for very long. I really enjoy them... for a bit; but I usually just end up back to something more relaxing on a 16-bit system. Something with super fast bullets, unpredictable enemy patterns and checkpoints.

Yeah, I don't really understand either. Older shooters just have a certain mysterious quality and charm that allows me to latch on and stick with them easier, no matter how archaic or unforgiving the gameplay is.

Psikyo is always a good choice. Their games always have something that appeals to someone. If you ever get around to Toaplan, play HELLFIRE

Danmaku. I'm more comfortable with a smaller hitbox. Also more interesting patterns to me, either visually or practically. I'll play anything, though.

Bananamatic wrote:I play cave for the presentation and music(and 1cc sometimes)

I can barely hear the music over the sound of my own shot in Cave

Vastly prefer bullet hell. I love weaving through ridiculous patterns, not dying to a stray glancing laser.

xbl0x180 · Post by **xbl0x180** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 3:52 am

I definitely like non-danmaku/traditional shoot-'em-ups over the new, bullet-hell types. I'll play anything, though

Drum · Post by **Drum** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 5:46 am

Non-danmaku is factually better.

mouser · Post by **mouser** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 6:38 am

Non-danmaku.

I want to be the one giving bullet hell to enemies....it's why I love Compile shmups.

Both are good lol

I like games where projectiles are threatening.

So, both then? Me too.

Rex Cavalier · Post by **Rex Cavalier** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 2:30 pm

2 words - bullet hell

Zaarock · Post by **Zaarock** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 4:16 pm

Both, and sometimes games that try to be a hybrid between the two can be good (like g.rev games, some psikyo)

toaplan_shmupfan · Post by **toaplan_shmupfan** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 4:38 pm

Non-danmaku for me. Prefer aimed bullets that may be slow or fast over a wall of bullets with extremely narrow gaps.
