STGT 2008 - Week #2 Voting REASONS

Post by sikraiken »

Thanks again to everyone who voted, especially everyone who typed out a reason. I'm not putting them in quotes anymore; they're broken up by a space.



Dangun Feveron
--------------

WOOOOOOOW
MEOWMEEEEEOWMEOWmeowmeowmeowmeowOOOOOooOoOooOOOoOOOOoWWWWWWW


Dangun has fast ships and discomen. Macross and Game Tengoku have slow ships and no discomen. The choice is obvious.
Also, the other two games are terrible. I consider that a bit of a flaw.


Because the time attack mode is at the same time easy to learn, but hard to master :).


Everyone's going to pick it anyway.


Disco dudes + Cheesy music + Fast-paced action = pewpewpewlollercopters


I thought they were high when they made tanks on parachutes in 19xx, but this beats everything.


I want to pick up flashy men.


i am neko cat uo poko, i ahve a kawaii ship. if you dont repost this comment on 10 other pages i will fly into your kitchen tonight and colect all ur disco men


Game Tengoku not good working on mame
Macross 2 is boring


Because the others games have a linear scoring system.


It's a Cave game, therefore it's an awesome game.


Simply because Dangun is the game I enjoyed the most. Macross didn't appeal to me and Game Paradise make my ears bleed.


kill stuff fast, collect discomen, what's not to like


I want to see the level of bitching and moaning when it gets picked.


Because among the three games, Dangun Feveron is the more short.


Macross II sucks and Game Tengoku is an unplayable mess in MAME. Plus, I like disco and, of course, shots bullits at bad man. FEVER~!


I vote for the game because it's fucking awesome, and it's also for the good of the baby sea turtles...!!


I like crappy disco.


As my least played Cave game, it's about time I put some work into it.


shmup + disco = WIN. And it's a Cave game. And the scoring system is one of the best ever made. And all the others completely sux.


DISCO DANCE, I LIKE, VERY NICE


Team vote.


simply because it's the game I think I can score highest in.


Night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.


You know you have to have it!


The time attack mode in this is so very unlike Cave games in a Cave game that is also unlike Cave games, or something. It's a combination of a manic shooter and a caravan game, which is a melding of genres that are better left unmelded, and for that reason I really enjoy it. Despite the generous bombs and infinite lives, it's obvious that you're expected to last the level without dying and using a minimum of bombs for max score. It's like the essence of later Cave titles has been distilled down into a 3-minute lump of craziness, and it's tons of fun.


I would add a reason for this vote, but sik's criteria are too harsh when I only played the other games for 10 minutes each.


Because


Dangun Feveron is one of my favorite shmups ever, so it was an easy choice.


Fanboy vote. Also, it seems to be the team pick.


Time Attack domination. You've got to believe it!





The Game Paradise / Game Tengoku
--------------

OINK OINK!


I want to see if I can make bsidwell hate me harder than he already does.


because i dislike disco


Our team will perform better with this game.


Double the sprites, double the fun!


Cuz its got a pig in it


Because the game makes me laugh.





Macross II
--------------

Even though it may not be as quick as the other Caravan choices (2 minutes x 3 levels), I just get the joy of getting point bonuses for accomplishing certain things. Also, I don't like disorientation in shmups (especially due to emulation issues) and I don't really like point-blanking things just so I can try to decently score in vain of an extremely fast-paced shmup.


What you're voting for = Super Space Fortress Macross II (Hyper Deluxe Extended Turbo Edition Alpha 3.2)
Why = After playing all three games for a bit, The Game Paradise was ruled out right away. The glitches aren't that bad, but they're bad enough that I don't want to spend a week staring at them. Dangun Feveron seemed like a fun game, and who can resist that disco beat. However, SSFM2 struck me as a the most enjoyable of the three in my short play times, and it's the one that I think I can improve the most at. So, I'm going with SSFM2.


Macross, 'cause I'm kinda old-school, 'cause playing with a graphic bug sucks and because Dangun Feveron Time Attack is too hard/crazy for just one week...


It has Moais.


No good reason. Feels like I just ain't good enough for the other two.


Decent game with some good scoring opportunities, some obvious, some not so obvious. 4 Stages means 1 mistake won't kill your whole run (in general, though some mistakes are still costly). Also its a relatively unplayed game by forum standards, there isn't even a high score thread for it so hopefully we should have a pretty level playing field. Unlike Dangun Feveron which will be a total walkover for the Cave enthusiasts. Not that any of this matters because Dangun Feveron will win anyway.


I want to try Macross II out, and I can't stand Dangun Time Attack.

You didn't need this thread to prove it, but sik has made STGT2008 one million times better than the other two!

I like the changes you've made. "Change"... hmm... you should run for president.
