At least it's ok now even though I have no idea what caused the problem. It just can't be bad luck since I got the same stage order in like 5 runs in a row. I just know that the first run after you selected Sengoku Blade from the menu is always the same. Never mind, thanks for the help. ;)Battletoadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151143202207161540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-6022729917921831582011-11-17T01:17:27.053-02:002011-11-17T01:17:27.053-02:00Hey man, I just tested the game, with no previous ...Hey man, I just tested the game, with no previous save whatsoever (no memory card inserted). I left everything in defaults, just went to the options to verify it was in "random".<br />Played the game three times and got the water stage as a 3rd stage in my second credit. It does seem to be the stage that appears less, but it's there nonetheless. Maybe you just got a streak of bad luck?Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491361099947592597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-56750379891330943152011-11-16T12:22:02.442-02:002011-11-16T12:22:02.442-02:00Yep, I mean the stage with the fish boss.

For me the random stage order doesn't work. In the options screen I can select a fixed order or set it to random. Even if I select the latter option, the stage order is always the same (forest, building, air) so that I never get to see the water stage. Did you have random stage order when you played it on the PS2 and if you did, do you have an idea why it doesn't work for me?Battletoadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151143202207161540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-45188680460760047262011-03-12T14:51:42.227-03:002011-03-12T14:51:42.227-03:00Nice review and congratulations to beat this game....Nice review and congratulations to beat this game.

Besides that, I had my share of bad experiences when trying to run Jap PS1 discs on my previous PS2 consoles, to the point of being utterly terrified by ever doing it again. Psychological reasons, I guess......<br /><br />But it all depends, there are people who never had any problems with modded slim PS2s. Whatever you do, just make sure the chip is genuine and the modding is made my a trustworthy technician.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491361099947592597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-43719746439549899272011-03-11T12:36:58.610-03:002011-03-11T12:36:58.610-03:00Edward, why do you avoid playing PS1 games in it? ...Edward, why do you avoid playing PS1 games in it? Is it possible to play them anyway? I'm still thinking about which PS2 console to get. I'd like a modded PAL console, so I could play Japanese shmups as well as some PAL games. But eventually I might grab some Japanese PS1 games as well... Right now I just have a PAL slim model borrowed from a friend, but "scratched discs" doesn't sound good.Battletoadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151143202207161540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-30131197071214171412011-03-11T10:32:37.625-03:002011-03-11T10:32:37.625-03:00@ AmidstStorm Gunbird 2 is amazing, I love the col...@ AmidstStorm Gunbird 2 is amazing, I love the colors! As for my PS2, it's a fat US/NTSC model, modded with a Matrix Infinity chip. It runs all of my games regardless of region, but I avoid playing Japanese PS1 on it (for that I have a modded PS1). I had some slim PS2 models in the past, but they were all rubbish and even scratched some of my discs...<br /><br />@ Battletoad For all I know you're a Zero Gunner 2 master, bro. :)<br />Speaking of 2nd loops, I remember I reached 2-3 in Sengoku Ace. It was the 1st Psikyo shooter, and its 2nd loop isn't so over-the-top as in their subsequent games.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491361099947592597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-13744925913139099402011-03-11T07:17:45.911-03:002011-03-11T07:17:45.911-03:00Congrats for your new highscore!

I think it's extremely hard for us mortals to reach stage 2-2 in any Psikyo game. ;)<br />Except Zero Gunner 2 maybe which at least I found managable and motivating. In general I don't like loops, for Psikyo it's just fun to watch superplayers dodging all those ridiculous patterns.<br /><br />I tried Sengoku Blade once for a few credits, seemed to like it, but it really is a usual Psikyo beast with the rank and the memorization based gameplay. Additionally I had the problem that I also liked the Koyori's attacks best (if you can tell so after roughly trying all the characters), but desperately need panic bombs, especially in Psikyo shooters. :DBattletoadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151143202207161540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-130912071577745382011-03-11T03:15:18.117-03:002011-03-11T03:15:18.117-03:00I love Psikyo.

Strikers 1945 being one of my fave series too. Can I ask if you have a Jap PS2 or use a modded one or region disc or something?GunHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857825126270953537noreply@blogger.com
