Re: PS2 recommendations

Some great-looking stuff I wasn't aware of here, gonna give SkyGunner and Snoopy a look over the weekend. The PS2 Contra games ( Contra: Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra ) are both entirely worth playing - I feel like they're sometimes unfairly lumped in with the western-developed ones on the Saturn...

Re: Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

Good games everybody. I'm definitely going to sit the next session out and it's unlikely I'll be able to do voice chat again. Thanks for having me anyway.

Re: Shmups

Interesting! Stick-wise I'm on a Hayabusa, it's a step looser and has a bigger dead zone than the Sanwas I was previously used to, which explains to some degree the surprising loss of fine control. I think I've probably ruined myself with bad habits more than anything else, I'm effectively ignoring ...

Re: Shmups

I'm trying to make the switch back to stick after a good few years away, and quickly realising that I've got a very loose, very "neutral" grip that is entirely designed around Fighting Games. Great for complex inputs and large, smooth gestures, utterly useless for the kind of directness an...

Re: Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

I'm up for this, if I'm allowed out to play. Should hopefully have a stick arriving this weekend, and I picked up Champion Edition on PC a wee while ago without ever actually loading it up. 20+ untouched characters to try out :o

Re: Shmups

Ah, cool man. Will give it a watch! Any more progress on Gradius V? Haven't had the time to keep it up, but I shall return to it soon. Nah I haven't been back to it for quite a while, but it's right there on my "definitely one day" pile. Tough as it is, it seems like it might be the most ...

Re: Shmups

Also, still really enjoying Missile Dancer, just got a clear on Hard so only Expert to go now. Might be beyond me but it's fun enough that I'll give it a good go. It's also available on Steam for anyone interested. it's only £1.69 on Steam. Sold! :o --------- I got my first 1CC on Progear back in J...

Re: Shmups

I've decided to set smaller, attainable goals in Gradius V, as opposed to getting hellbent on a 1cc that's probably far off. And yesterday I achieved the goal I had set: survive the stage 2 boss rush and reach stage 3 wirhout continuing! Tweet with stream highlight. Such a great ending to the strea...

I can't see your avatar any more! :( It seems to be broken on my phone's browser but displays fine on my PC :? I'll try to re-upload it, thanks! I think the Jonah clue was exactly as tough as it should have been, I'd like to think I would've been able to solve it if I had any knowledge of the game....

Re: Shmups

I presonally really think that's the way to do it anyway. I love discovering stuff like this and peeling the layers back myself, rather than instantly 'downloading' optimal strats, etc. Progear is beautiful. I've got it on my hacked o.g. Xbox, but I wouldn't mind a dedicated, enhanced port at all. ...

Re: Shmups

I've been testing the water on a lot of shmups lately, looking for something to really sink my teeth into, and finally settled on Progear. I'd messed around with it a few times in the past and the art style really struck a chord with me, but I'd never spent the time to properly learn the mechanics. ...
