Why are you so forceful about what games you've beaten? And why should we care? I suck at most games, but I play them because I like them. My success or lack of success should be largely irrelevant, and nobody here should care what games I can and cannot beat, or how I beat them. I may wish to brag, but nobody here should care. You seem so emphatic I have to wonder if there's an underlying self-esteem issue.

Edit: In retrospect, this reads more harshly than I think I intended. I apologize. Still, the meat of it is important enough I'm leaving it. Basically, I'm glad you're awesome at shooters. I like watching good shooter longplays on YouTube as I'm a shooter fan. The way you present your skills, however, is such an antithesis of humble that it kinda sounds like you demand we respect your skills, without you putting much else on the table to attempt to draw us in.

As for Dragon Saber, those cheap tricks you complain about can often be got around with a little memorization. Hell, R-type has some dead-ends I think are a little cheap until you've played the levels a few times, but it's still regarded as one of the best early shooters ever created. I think Dragon Saber is regarded more for the music than the gameplay anyway. It does have a rather nice soundtrack. I can't say I've ever thought of Namco as a company strong in the ways of shooters. Once Galaga become old hat they only paid the genre lip service.

I honestly thought this thread was a joke. I beat Dragon Saber playing on the tiny Express screen without even dying. I don't know what the whining is about. This game is so easy.

Oh yeah, and I had the brightness all the way down and played in direct sunlight.

I heard Kenny Powers only plays Dragon Saber.

SuperDeadite · 09/09/2011, 08:52 AM

"Gradius III"? Considering you listed it next to "R-Type 3", I'm guessing you mean the
SNES version. If so, congratulations, you've beaten the easiest Gradius game in the entire
series. Now stop bragging and go play the arcade version. PUSSY!

Tatsujin · 09/09/2011, 09:39 AM

Interesting fact. That's Seahawk's video. Seahawk posts on the shmups forum under the same
exact name of "Seahawk". He posted that vid long ago. So why would someone who has accounts
on multiple sits with the same name register here under the totally random "ddd1234" name?
Cause he's taking credit for another's acheivement.

Proof of what? That you can find a playthrough of a game on youtube and consider that some form of proof that you can clear the game? If that is the case here is a video of me clearing Image Fight II!

and just for the record, I made this video with my dick scotch taped to my left knee while eating shards of glass just after snorting an 8 inch line of coke.

I knew I was going to get crap about that! Sorry I was trying to do a quick Photoshop and didn't want to grab a camera so just fired up an emulator and MagicEngine was the first one I loaded. I actually thought about re-screen grabbing it while I was in Photoshop adding in the bullets and enemies because of that, but I was to lazy.

Dragon Saber is not some haven of fatal flaws and bad programming, and this attitude you are taking toward it sounds mostly like just bitching and moaning. If you don't like it you don't like it, but blaming the programmers on a game like this is dumb. There are far more deserving titles where blaming the programmers are appropriate.

Really, Dragon Saber is just a development of Dragon Spirit, and Dragon Spirit proved very popular in the arcades, spawning versions on the NES and PCE, which also did well. Dragon Saber is not especially different save looking and sounding a lot better.

There is a reason why this series faded to black. There is a reason why Dragon Saber for PCE is cheap as dirt, considering it's one of the few ports of the game.

I disagree. I do not think it is a badly designed shooter. You are not the universal expert on what is and isn't good or bad game design. You don't like the game design. That doesn't make it bad game design. You are not the deciderer. Once you learn the difference between the two you will be a better person. Until then you are an arrogant whiner.

SignOfZeta · 09/10/2011, 03:01 PM

I'm not going to say this game is super awesome and flawless or anything, but I fail to see how its any worse than 50 other shooters from the same era with the same problems. Shit was hard back then, often totally unfair. For better or worse, thats just the way it was.
