so did this thread accomplish what you wanted?

see...you got people to shit on you.....you shit on yourself....mission accomplished....

and the best part is, when all is said and done, ketsui is still great :D

you will note that pretty much anybody who has put in any serious time with ketsui agree it is a great game, and deserving of any hype...

most of the people saying its 'over-rated' have very limited experience with it

read between the lines..... :roll:

But didn't you say you only played the Douchebag Label?
In that case you really can't judge the gameplay of Ketsui by any means.

I thought Stan was like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, ie they pop out and beat up anyone who gets in your (or Ketsui's) way. Wait, that's STANDS ROFL

If Extra mode is any hint of what Ketsui plays like normally.... it's somewhat enjoyable, but I'd rather be playing Daioujou or something.

So Stan is associated with thinking something is really good when it's just rather good? I've seen quite a bit of South Park, but obviously I didn't get that reference.

ps. never played Ketsui, so I'll take up whoever's side is flagging

wait...you havent even played ketsui...you are basing an opinion on deathlabel?

its not even the same scoring system dude....other than the fact that it looks like ketsui and kinda plays similarly they are very different games

jeez...at least sonicr has played it :roll:

Whoa whoa whoa

lolol

You are judging the PCB version of Ketsui from fucking extra mode on Death Label? Wow. That's real righteous ignorance.

And here you are getting at people for being the 'Ketsui Defense Force' when you haven't even played the real thing. Amazing.

Guess I'll find out when the game is (never) released here. $250+ for a Japanese 360 and $60+ for the game =/= a price I'm willing to pay for a game I haven't played yet. If the game was region-free, I'd import it and play it on a friend's 360. Too bad 5bp decided to be douches like that.

Well, if you feel I should play the full game, donate your PCB to the cause. As it stands, Ketsui is something not worth my money.

Inb4 the Ketsui port is far from perfect, but the majority of this forum proceeds to smother it in a thick bukkake bath, wearing rose-tinted goggles all the while.

Again, how the fuck am I supposed to play something not readily available to me? It's not as though I can walk into the local arcade and pop some quarters into a Ketsui machine, now is it? ITT, playing a $60 sampler of something isn't enough; one must shell out $hundreds for the privilege of playing the full game before he may judge it. Don't blame me, blame CAVE, or blame 5bp for region-locking the game. If it was region-free, I would buy it... whenever they decide to release it.

Naw… people were happy to play anything and everything. There was alot of caravan game playing (Recca & Alzadick) as well as a wide assortment of things. Death Smiles was in the other cab pretty much the whole time and got alot of play from everyone.

I'm off of work today and I guess I just had enough of the overhype of Ketsui…

Its one thing to like and enjoy a game, but some people just seem to go to far…

and for those who don't know stan…

zwei: if you haven't, and wont any time in the near future, have played the sacred cow, then you shouldn't be offering your opinion on it, because your opinion is not based on enough evidence :wink:

it honestly bothered you that people enjoy a game you dont own and wont own(maybe the port, if that even counts/comes out)so much that you had to start a thread sharing your un-substantiated opinions on it?

That's nice.

AGAIN, provide me with a way of playing Ketsui, preferably at under $100. Any more than that, and I'd have to play the game first before shelling that out. (Example: Played RSG numerous times before taking the $180 plunge)

Hey, I said Ketsui is decent. Good. Above-average, even. Just nowhere near the level of praise it receives on certain forums. Way to ruin an otherwise good game by hyping it beyond anything it could possibly live up to.

Fuck's sake, I'm getting flashbacks to FF7... Thanks, shmups.com.

You're creating a culture of 'haves' and 'have nots'
Saying things like I don't know cause I'll NEVER own it except a piece of shit port which doesn't count…

Ketsui stans have strong solidarity thats for sure…

Well, you keep telling me I should play the full game first, when I don't have the means to do so. I tell the same thing to everyone who tells me I need to "upgrade my computer" or "see this movie". If you won't wish to contribute, then it must not mean that much to you, so shut your pie-hole, I'll do it when it's affordable.

I played Extra mode on Death Label, a graphically toned-down version of the final stage. OMG, the enemy arrangements/ game speed/ aspect ratio/ amount of starting lives/ sound quality/ etc. were somewhat different, IT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT GAME AND PLAYS NOTHING LIKE KETSUI. I'd really love to pay an extra $500 just to see little swirly lock-on animations. Really, I would.

Fucking elitists.
