DoDonPachi Saidaioujou coming to Xbox 360 (REGION-FREE!)

[shmuppyLove]

So, I've been ridiculously pleased with the 360 Cave ports I've purchased so far (DS, Futari and AK).

Do people not like the ports? Are we not pumped for SDOJ? Do we need to see the intro movie with music replaced by "Smell yo Dick"?

[BIL]

Do we need to see the intro movie with music replaced by "Smell yo Dick"?

Yes (the Mario Paint version)! Seriously, it creates a nice contrast against the explosions and zooming ships, yet complements the nancyboy little girl imagery sublimely. Recommended!

(needless to say I don't give a shit about any of this stuff, I just want a good port)

[Udderdude]

If there were no CAVE to complain about, we would need to invent it.

[RoninBuddha]

are bullet patterns art?

[Giest118]

Is region-locking art?
It elicits an emotional reaction. It pisses me off.
Therefore region-locking is art.
True story. I was there.



So what the fuck is this thread about now?

Region locks.

Has anyone tried emailing Cave or something the way someone did with Caladrius?

When CAVE stops making shmups, touhou will be top shit and the drama level on this forum will reach new proportions....

As much as I love Cave and dont want it to dissapear, I can only tremble of excitement thinking of that day.



there won't be enough pop-corn in this world...

Sorry slightly off topic but quick question, is Daifukkatsu Black Label worth getting if one already owns 1.5 ?

[BulletMagnet]

Udderdude, offhand I don't know how long my "awful thing some far-right lunatic said recently" string of signatures has been going, but you've just broken it.

Definitely. It's way more infuriating though.

For posterity's sake, what was your previous sig?

[Trevor spencer]

I love 1.5 but cant get on with BL

[BulletMagnet]

@Friendly: My most recent one was "Ma and Pa need to get over it!", as heard here.

Not sure what the difference is.I know they have different music and does black have the ketsui mode?

[BulletMagnet]

Black Label's scoring system is different, and is dependent on manipulating the rank (basically, if you use the new "shot and laser at the same time" weapon it goes up, and decreases when you stop) to both make manageable areas more profitable and keep tougher areas manageable. If you download Black Label it just has the main mode (and a beginner variant IIRC, and it also lets you mix and match music across modes), but if you buy the separate disc version it includes the Ketsui hybrid Arrange mode.

Ok,thanks very much.I might have to buy.I can't resist.

[Special World]

You should definitely check out Black Label either way. I think it's much better than 1.5, and much LESS infuriating. When you die in 1.5 it feels like you've been constantly building up to something only to have it snatched away.

[mdsfx]

Do you guys use turbo tax? I've been using it for 3 years and think its great.

For the love of god, WTF has happened to this thread?!

Welcome to shmups farm The hype is building up so we have to let the stress out somehow

can i ask if black label original is really that much easier to clear than futari? Iv'e read it a few times but mame tells a different story IMHO.

I have 1.5 on the 360 but dont have the dlc - thanks

We're talking about DFK 1.5 vs. its Black Label, not Futari.

mia culpa

thank you for that - i have loved your youtube channel since pretty much day one btw!

[Muchi Muchi Spork]

Thanks. BTW Futari Black really is a lot easier to clear on original and maniac. The reason it might have seemed that way in a mame build is there probably was no slowdown emulation. With no slowdown it would be a lot harder.

[Bananamatic]

it's no different in mame IMO, both are much easier than 1.5

[Muchi Muchi Spork]

I think she is comparing 1.5 on the 360 with Black on mame.

White on rice. Blue on sky.

[kathy]

thank you CAVEPCB and bananamatic = )

this might just be the wine talking but to a serious player does a 1ALL in dfk black label arrange (ketsuipachi) count as a genuine clear?

I got the disc last week and am finding even the arrange to be slightly more confronting than white label DFK in any mode tbh
