Really enjoying some Sidearm tonight :D

So hard, yet so rewarding. Still easier than R-Type.

Here's some tips.

Don't die. I'm not joking when I say this.

Shotgun is best weapon. Unlike the arcade version, the shotgun in the pce port destroys bullets.

The Auto fire power up is good for the worms.

What the f*ck?

I played Dodonpachi Saidaioujou for the first time in...5 months? And I got a new high score. Beat my old one by 20%, and that one was not won without blood, sweat and tears. I hadn't broken it in many, many tries after it.

On one hand, I feel great to get a new high score, but on the other, I'm thinking that I just must be approaching the game wrong for this to happen. This probably implies the same for other action games, too.

Does this happen to anyone else?

This sort of thing happens to me too. I blame it on focusing way too hard on individual small things when playing a game over and over. Then when you come back after a while alot of those small things just become subconscious. Also playing other similar games in the meantime helps .. especially for bullet hell

I found that out the hard way. If I die once I wipe as soon as I respawn ugh!

And I'm glad it's not just me. I thought it was hard but I couldn't figure out if it was me or the game in general lol.

I do like the shotgun. But there's a shotgun that shoots yellow balls and red balls. I definitely prefer the yellow one! Especially paired with the robot that attached to you and let's you shoot in like 8 directions.

So addicting haha
Maximum Output. Activate the pit.

I also picked up Gunstar Super Heroes a few weeks ago! It's awesome! I was talking about it w/ Dragonmaster Dan at MGC and he recommended Astro Boy to me.  I found Astro Boy at a local game shop so I'm planning on swinging by tomorrow to pick it up. :)

Last weekend I got completely absorbed into Elder Scrolls Online for the PC.  They gave me a free weekend pass because I played during beta but never picked it up. It was honestly pretty bad when it launched, but I couldn't stop playing it this weekend! OMG, it's gorgeous, even on my 8 yr old computer. Gameplay still feels closer to WoW than Skyrim, but it's very story based and I didn't encounter a single "collect x number of y and come back to me" type quests. I wish I could have been able to play for a longer period of time so I could have checked out PVP and group co-op (raid?) type stuff but I didn't get very far...

It has come a long way in a year and now I don't want to buy it because I'm afraid I'd play it too much.

I also recently picked up a PS1 Pinball game called Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey.  It's frustratingly addictive.

CPTBadAss, it's still okay to use all your continues on the final boss. :)

Crazy hard.

I used to own SideArms Special but I found that game to be harder, and the pace seemed slower. I never beat it. I did like that the new bosses were from concept art for the original game though.

Yep, totally! The Overland Park location has it for $10 and after looking it up on the bay, that's not a bad price for it. I still haven't made it out there to grab it... maybe tomorrow.
