Does anyone find chaining fun?

[Skykid]

Aside from that, there's no real "reason" to accept "skill" less than 100% unless you just don't feel like doing it. Yes, this isn't about "enjoying the scoring system" so much as it's about "doing a good job", but I bring this up because it leads into the former anyway, because people keep worrying about "being good at the game" without understanding what that really means.

Different strokes. I can have fun with a game I don't own the world record in.

True words. DOJ was godly to me before I put serious effort into chaining/score, I was convinced of its brilliance on survival alone.

Well yes, but only because you're a lazy pussy.

As someone who cares very little about score, I'm certainly not that big on chaining either. My only concern for score is in regards to extends. Once I've got enough, I cease to care. For me, it's all about survival and getting that 1cc.

CAVE and their 'you won't score well if you make scoring mistakes' shenanigans, eh?

So describing the system means I am whining about it?

Trolls these days.

Chaining is fun... when you get it right. Gawd, the restartitis today.

I had Hachi down to a sliver of energy too.

Again.

Though most of your points in Progear are from your accumulative game-long counter, meaning every scoring opportunity you miss has a massive long term effect.

Cave.

Reads like whining to me, yes.

[Deca]

Chaining is very rewarding, but once I sort out the first two stages or so I start to dread approaching new ones. I dunno if I'm just bad at it or miss simple things, but even when I know exactly what to do I have trouble hooking all the chunks of a stage (even the easy ones) together.

On the topic of DOJ, I'm finding it to be one of the most enjoyable games to play for survival.

I don't understand why people keep voting DDP and DOJ as the best shups ever when they don't even like them.

Because Skykid convinced they at to do this.

It's true, I do at to do.

Yes don't know how you do wh at you do, but I am sure you do.

Ok, now I can see DOJ Dropping 25 places next year in "the best shmups ever" topic!

Didn't that happen to radiant silvergun?

I do what I do at to do. That's all I know how to do.

Nah.

No, that is an accurate description of Progear and Cave’s approach to score systems. I clearly like Progear or Chain wouldn’t be in my avatar. If you’re going to reply to me then maybe address the part where I argued you were wrong?

[ptoing]

I think the "Cave." at the end makes it read somewhat like whining.
