That's pretty extreme... one other thing that upsets me with flying people STGs is how the hit-box becomes harder to judge too. Course this one get's adjusted to with more time, and of course this also applies to all micro hit-box STGs to me. Just more so more the ones with flying people and all these limbs sticking out. Why I so love how the newer DoDonpachi games have the hit-box as a circle that's very well highlighted on the ship (I would take any object on the ship being defined as good enough instead of something that breaks reality more. But in the new Dodonpachi it seems to match the ship from what I recall?). Now to be able to finally get my hands on one of these newer Dondonpachi games... last I checked they were Japan only and I still don't have a Japan only console. :( ... but they'd rather send us the flying people STGs instead of the ones with ships... see how upsetting this can be to me...<br /><br />- SinfulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-34255453892121949052014-10-31T10:14:54.633-02:002014-10-31T10:14:54.633-02:00I totally see your point there.
I don't mind ...I totally see your point there.<br /><br />I don't mind lighthearted games as long as we still get the heavy hitters from time to time. As for flying people, I know a few guys who'll flat out refuse to play an STG with flying people on them.

A little light hearted like Parodius is a great mix to things and adds some variety. But when they replaced the main Gradius series for quite some time, well, that kind of sucked. Not that I don't like Parodius (it's impossible not to like as a Gradius fan) but of course I prefer Gradius. And same thing applies to the genre as a whole. That and my imagination gets immersed way more in something like Gradius (which matches Star Wars to me) then Parodius.<br /><br />That and I much prefer to play with some sort of vehicle in STGs then a flying person or animal. This whole flying person/animal thing has definitely gotten way out of hand...<br /><br />Maybe I'll sing a different tune on this subject in the future, but as of now this is where I stand on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-35372499077886279322014-10-30T15:41:02.432-02:002014-10-30T15:41:02.432-02:00What do you mean by that, Sinful?

I really wish this genre was again treated seriously like the late 80s and early 90s instead of some of the joke games we get in this genre that's way too hard to take seriously of these days....<br /><br />-SinfulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-40636753468924108242014-10-30T10:34:36.231-02:002014-10-30T10:34:36.231-02:00Well, 360s should be getting cheaper by now, I gue...Well, 360s should be getting cheaper by now, I guess.<br /><br />And I long for the day when Microsoft will lift that stupid restriction and let us play XBLIG games without being online.
