top 5 dreamcast shooters

[butchcvc]

Ikaruga nearly wasnt worth the cdr i put it on.

you're taking the piss aint you!

please tell me you're taking the piss!

Ikaruga nearly wasnt worth the cdr i put it on.

The first Psyvariar game was a 5/10 game too, tho i only have the PS2 complete tbh.

Bangaio is a hella fun and gets quite hard, at least it doesnt try to be a proper shooter like Ikaruga sharades to be.

You seriously believe that?

I'm amazed. Ikaruga is a 10/10 game for me, one of the finest video games I have ever played. A true masterpiece of design with some of the most challenging but fair gameplay ever created. That it also has flawless audio and visuals is the final wonder.

I've spent a lot of hours on it, too many hours.. Love that game.

Well I wouldn't go that far, at the end of the day its put together very well. BUT, it's nothing more than a memory test no shooting skills are required.

Why does everyone like Zero Gunner 2? I'd put that at the bottom of the list.

DC is a pretty average/overrated machine for shooters when you think about it. Only a couple of genuine top tier games and hardly any exclusives. Plus, where the hell are the horizontal scrollers?

Hah yeah Psyvariar is a 5/10, id give Ikaruga a 7/10 cause of the nice graphics, as a shooter tho ill pass completely thnx. I think the play mechanic is strong, but out of place for me in this genre.

Same can be said of any of the current consoles.

Agreed though to be fair ZG II wasn't that bad. I myself never saw what people like in Mars Matrix or Shikigami No Shiro.

The DC was lacking when it came to shooters apart the the awesome Border Down. My top 5 would be

1). Border Down
2). Ikaruga
3). Chaosfiled
4). Trizeal (gets better the more you play)
5) Incoming (well I like it)

Compared to what machine?

In comparison:
- The Takumi shooters are on par as a whole with all your cave stuff on the ps2, for all the manics.
-Border Down is one of the best hori's ever produced so why have any more when you've already got one of the best. Other than pro gear and gradius V I can't think of any better horis around in modern times.
- Psyvariar 2 is one of the best shooters of all time, full top end of....
- Trizeal is for all the old schoolers to keep them happy, it clearly beats the generic Star Soldier port we seem to get every generation so it caters for a un-charted market these days.
- Zero Gunner 2 is very refreshing with the whole rotating thing going on, plus keeps all the Psikyo fan boys happy.
- Ikaruga has brought shmups to the masses and is by far one of the best produced shooters in modern gaming.
- Plus then you've got all the 6/10 fillers like Chaos Field and Shiki 2 to pass your time with.

Further more Under Defeat looks like its going to be added to the hall of fame, Senko No Ronde is most definatly one of the most innovative shooters ever made and Rajirugi looks to be the next filler shooter.

Plus to finish up all the DC shooters that have gone multi format all look the best on the DC due to them being Naomi ports. Other than the Saturn or the PC Engine the DC definatly holds its own as a shooter machine.

[eastyy]

any news on when under defeat and senko no ronde will be released on the DC?

[Yakumo]

I personaly think the Saturn is a better shooters machine than the DC but I don't care since I have both best of both worlds. The PC Engine is also a great little shooting box.

i do wonder why so many shooters are so short

or course arcade ones i can sort of understand but even console shooters like r-type final and gradius 5 are short

you're just talking silly now....

[eastyy]

of course i mean i short in just a amount of levels not short as in total playing time mastering these games i understand takes time and dedication

just that i liked the psyvarier 1 idea where first time through the game you would be no good and only go to the next level but as you got better and better you would be rewarded with new levels

Dude, (and this applies to every single one of your posts I've seen, I'm using this as an example):

Have you not got a '.' key on your keyboard or something? Or a Shift? Or are you just completely retarded? Because I for one can't for the life of me work out what on earth you are trying to say most of the time...

Just a thought
