Gradius is alright but I'd put Thunder Force over Gradius and R-Type over Thunder Force.Īnonymous Tue Apr 10 15:36:30 2018 No.4705161 I haven't played the PS2 entries of either series, but R-Type 1-3 and Delta are some of the most amazing shooters of all time. Gradius V is the greatest shmup ever made, so. Gradius if we're talking only between the two. R-Type might have better art (sprite art was IREM's specialty) but Konami's emphasis on stage design and fast-paced dodging beats out the methodical and sometimes overly-slow R-Type. Plus, Gradius' infinite loops mean you could feasibly always play the game and get further, whereas R-Type is two at best!Īnonymous Tue Apr 10 16:09:28 2018 No.4705235 Gradius also maintained its quality (if not a little fatigue admittedly) over its core entries, whereas R-Type seemed go in fits and spurts (1 great, 2 2hard, 3 ok, 4 great, 5 bad). Gradius, the options system is more fun and dynamic than the force pod, the rank management is fun and the stages are less memo based. The only things I prefer in R-Type are the aesthetics and short length of the first two games. Too many stretches of absolutely nothing happening on screen for sometimes up to a minute. There's also that last level that is just a giant spiral of copy-pasted indestructible orbs. ![]() Its the calm, organized way to manage projects, work with clients. It has its moments, but it comes off as a slow game overly reverential towards its predecessors. Trusted by millions, Basecamp puts everything you need to get work done in one place. Compare with R-Type Delta, which has a slower pace/flow but is nonetheless exciting. It took me a long time to have Gradius' power-up, terrain-based design, and "lose everything on death" system click with me. Once I understood it (by playing Gradius 1 and realizing what good checkpoints were like), I was hooked. Gradius 1 on MAME and Gradius III (for the SNES) are good places to familiarize yourself with the style of game. Plus like other Konami ports, they seem to tweak and fix the hitboxes when they port games (no more ceilings randomly killing you).Īnonymous Wed Apr 11 12:02:33 2018 No.4707008 The SNES port doesn't get enough love: there's slowdown, yes, but it won't randomly kill you by deactivating (like in the original) and it takes out the stages that everyone hates (cube rush, 3D stages). >Too many stretches of absolutely nothing happening on screen for sometimes up to a minute.Īnonymous Wed Apr 11 14:32:50 2018 No.4707224 Almost a game-breaker for me, although I can stand it a bit more in Parodius games, which at least are really funny.Īnonymous Wed Apr 11 13:47:08 2018 No.4707150 What I really hate is the Speed-Up option in those games. Probably R-Type, but for me that's partially to nostalgia. Isn't R-Type the same? Really, being fucked when you lose your power-ups is just a staple of old shmups.Īnonymous Wed Apr 11 23:24:52 2018 No.4708329įile: 956 KB, 1848x2103, gradiusgaiden.jpg R-Type 1 (arcade) and Delta (PSX) are my absolute favorites.Īnonymous Wed Apr 11 14:44:24 2018 No.4707251 I might have seen a Gradius cabinet labeled Nemesis once.īoth are great series and I really wish we'd see more of both of them with new games, but alas.Īnonymous Wed Apr 11 14:37:41 2018 No.4707238 I played a lot of R-Type in the arcade and then at home. ![]() In Gradius 1 you can recover from EVERY checkpoint, from no power to full power by the next stage, with the exception of MAYBE the last checkpoint (by then you can just beat the game if you are smart enough). Gradius II is much the same way bar a few problem points. Get instant alerts when Teamwork Launchpad is having issues. The games are exceedingly fair with how they immediately tone down, if not halve the difficulty one your death, meaning you have an extreme fighting chance to get back on your feet. Monitor Teamwork Launchpad status changes, ongoing problems, recent outages, and user reports. ![]() What's the ranking of the ships from best to worst? Or even better games (compared to the above Euro-shit) like Darius 1/2 which ACTUALLY fuck you over completely on death, necessitating no-death runs to even beat the games.Īnonymous Wed Apr 11 23:34:31 2018 No.4708343 Shit like Tyrian or Raptor can't even compare with bullet-sponge enemies and overly weak ships.
