General youtube shmup thread.

I like the vulcan cannon. All the power of the flamethrower with the range of your main shot.

Soon I'll be doing some more reviews for my "month of PS2" feature that I am running on youtube and I attentd to apply some shmup games to the mix sooner rather than later if you catch my drift.

I think that may be my first post in the strategy section this year.

Just 1CC'd Forgotten Worlds. Game's pretty managable just as long as you stick with the vulcan cannon and know where the all the health regen items are.

Anyway, the story is that a number of ancient gods returned and laid waste to Earth. Sometime after two really tough nameless soldiers decided to challenge them and that's that.

I have no idea where the hell the shop owner/magical arms dealer came from, though.

Which is the vulcan cannon?

Twiddle · Post by **Twiddle** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 1:51 am

The one that fires a wave of 3 shots lined up with each other rapidly. It does faster damage than the flamethrower with big enemies and is just as fast for killing with small ones. The first one labeled in the demo as the "vulcan cannon" is a misprint.

Still not sure which one you're talking about. Where do you buy it? I think I'm going to go play some FW now, but in case I don't find it.

Twiddle · Post by **Twiddle** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 2:25 am

You find it in the first "choose your path" stage. Costs 50000 smuckers.

Shoots these:

It can also be powered up via the second player Raiden-style.

My Cave tribute.

Holy crap, I love Cave but that is some funny shit ^_^

I'd go play Mars Matrix, but I already 1cc'ed that one, and have no inclination to counter stop it or anything like that.

^you gotta do it

Got the "vulcan" cannon and cleared FW on the first shot, barely. Thrilling after getting beaten all week.

That's stolen from the Something Awful Let's Play forum.

I don't know what that is. Maybe it's the same guy? Are there other videos like it?

There are more on Google Video but they aren't public. Thread with links was also deleted for being too old, too.

Funny for the first minute and a half. Someone needs to teach him how the scoring system works.

Yep, it does get redundant but sadly still beats most other videos w/ commentary that I've found. I wish more people here would put their skills to video. Maybe if it wasn't so time consuming.

Get the candy.

Stanski, I linked that in the first post!

No kidding.

So basically, we're shooting all these guys, killing, fucking, everybody. These guys have families. I don't give a shit.

Just remembered my favorite part: how the professor guy looks gay, not that there's anything wrong with that (something like that).

He's overusing the shield! He just needs to tap it for a split second in a pinch. You'll have much less charging time and you'll NEVER die.

Someone kill me now.

Chimera Beast review. If you have any suggestions for other side scrolling shooters go post in the other thread (or here if you are lazy). Any vertical scrolling shooters along these lines will be good too.
