[QUOTE=power-mad;16562582]Bullet hells aren't clever or amazing or anything, they're just terrible games. First off, the hardest part of any bullet hell isn't the bullets, it's finding out what your ships hitbox is. Most of the ships you fly around are just huge anime characters that for some reason shoot lazers from their heads. Only 2 pixels truely matter in this giant mess of a ship and so it's your job to figure out what it is. Second off, there can be a million of these and they'll all be the same fuckin' thing. No environment, no change ups in gameplay, no nothing. It's just there's your ship, and there's a giant wave of things that will trigger your ships death. Hold down fire button, bam. You can pretend like you made a real game now.[/QUOTE]

But it's fun to die over and over again.
[QUOTE=CivilProtection;16557793]Where can you get Ikaruga for the PC? I've only heard of a Dreamcast version.[/QUOTE]
There is no PC version. The only other releases were for Xbox 360 and Gamecube.

It is.
The amount of satisfaction you get from completing a stage overshadows the pain and torment induced by dieing a lot.

There are many games where you can see it ( Like Mushihimesama ) and yet there are only handful of people who can beat the game.

That applies to all shmups you know? Also, lol try to score Dodonpachi by just holding down fire-button.
And yes, the games are very entertaining.
Anyway, I would really like to play Ketsui. Too bad it's only for arcade ( and coming for Jap Xbox 360 ).
Arcade-kit would probably cost around 1000$ ( Plus other stuff you need to play it such as some cables and probably TATE-television ). Well, atleast you can sell it when you get bored.
I think I'll buy Jap Xbox 360. After all Mushihimesama futari and ESPgaluda II are also being ported.

Weeaboo game.

IWBTG really isn't that hard compared to Bullet Hell games.
[QUOTE=TheDefender;16603427]Weeaboo game.[/QUOTE]
You're an idiot.
Someone call?
Bumban'.
Has anyone else tried out PatriotDark? It's free and good game.
It's kinda like Ketsui, Dodonpachi, Mushihimesama Futari and ESPgaluda in same game.

Are there any links for it yet? I was looking for a link on Doujin Style, but when I try going there I'm getting "Web Site Suspended."

I found mine from an Touhou imageboard. It was not hard to find.
Anyway, I cleared it on normal today. Extra shall wait, I got other things to do for a while.

I played Mushihimesama today on my PS2. I cleared arrange-mode with three lives after final boss.
Oh god the last attack was insane.

Anyway, Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 and ESPgaluda II have been announced to Jap Xbox 360! It is awesome. I am seriously considering getting one now.
