Hey Deca, remember when I said this might be a little off topic? :P

I'm sure most people would agree that fanboys in general are annoying.

Ahaha, point taken :lol:

Still, the way I see it conversation is conversation. More fun to have activity than a dying thread :)

That's interesting...well RHE literally said: "You just don't understand" (and had the piss taken out of him for it on here for ages) as a response to critiscism, but maybe he'd just been playing RSG :D

IDK, first game I ever 1-cc'd (sad, but true). And it was $5 new, so not sure it could not be worth the money. :mrgreen:

Xenon 2 for the MD I bought it as a kid and fucking hated it, If only I bought a decent shmup I might have gotten into the genre back then instead of a couple of years ago.

So far, I really do not like Capcom shmups.

Luckily I actually bought the Capcom Classics Collections for Street Fighter, everything else was a nice bonus.

Yeah, $25 is too much for it - must've got it new-new as in right after release.

I'm being serious when I say I like it. It is a perfect introductory shmup for my young boys, relatively easy and not too violent, but they still get the "idea" if you will.

Also, I sorta thought the wii-motion control (tilt forward to speed up, etc) was a neat thing to have in a shooting game. I'm not saying this is in the top 1,000 games or anything crazy like that, but it offered a few things that I could use.
