Your opinion on Gradius III

Your opinion on Gradius III

Too hard.

Arcade version is hard, SNES is baby's first Gradius

Not my first shmup, but it certainly got me into them.
Too bad about Konami, tho.

Wouldn't that be Gradius V? That one doesn't take your options away when you die.

Series in general has a probably where you're pretty much boned dying near/at a boss and being stuck with bare minimum speed.

One-life a stage or bust.

ARC ver literally Dark Souls of Gradius.

Gradius or Raiden?

It's just as shit as 1, 2, and 4. 5 was the only good one. It introduced smaller hitboxes, the option system, and loops with bullet hell patterns.

gradius 6 when?

gradius V requires you to control your options together with the ship movement. Something babbys can't handle.

I thought that was R-type.

Shame that the ps2 controller is fucking ass for shmups

>gradius 6 when?
Did you forget Konami owned Gradius?

Spread is available in Gradius V too.

Really? Why that? It was fine when I played it on ps2. Shit looks and plays amazing on pcsx2 and whatever pad you want.

I wasn't talking about it introducing those things to shmups in general, but the gradius games.

R-Type

OH FUCK

Is that real?

Yall know any games like Gyruss? Loved that one

Gradius: Erotic Violence when?

The D-pad is sticky garbage. Also the rubber wore off my analog sticks. Often it's hard to do something as simple as go in a straight line.

Keep in mind that my rubber wore off the analog stick. Maybe it's better on a new controller.

>5 was the only good one.
Gradius Gaiden also exists

You can have the terrible Gradius: Waifu Edition instead.

Dpad is fine if you aren't a sperg. Get a stick if you're gonna cry about it. Never had rubber wear off my stick, You must secrete acid.

SNES version was better.

Is it bad that I want to play this?

This and V are my favorites in the Gradius series.

If we were talking R-Type, 3 is also my favorite as well.

Is that game actually bad? The only thing I remember about it was a hilarious IGN multiplayer video where everyone was making fun of the game but couldn't get past the first stage.

Previous Gradius games had the option system, and they also didn't need to be bullet hells as the ship had a large enough hitbox to account for that. Not knocking 5, it's a great addition to the series, but it's absolute bullshit to say it's the only good game in the franchise.

its in my 3x3

>gradius 6 when?
Don't remind me. I wanted VI to happen but NOPE, Konami decided to kill off all their IPs and make gay ass pachinkos instead.

It's below average.

That's about it. Nothing special just your typical Konami shump. But with cute girls.

>Is that game actually bad?
I wonder that myself too. I never seen any elaboration as to why Otomedius is a bad game other than it's waifushit.

Why must you hurt me this way

R-Theta II

>TFW THUNDERFORCE MADE IT TO VI, BUT GRADIUS ONLY MADE IT TO V

The Gradius Effect, a.k.a. high-potency casual filter.

It's safe to say Konami has always been a shitty company. Early on they were already killing off some of their best IPs. At this point they're just ripping off the mask completely.

I wish I had an RGB TV.

So does anyone ITT actually care about the MSX Gradius games besides me?

It it wasn't for them we wouldn't have gotten Moonspin/Last exit so I have to care about them to an extant.

No I haven't actually played them.

The stage scrolling is so bad, tho. It triggers my autism.

To be honest, I've never played them, but of course I care. They're an integral part of the Gradius story.

>You will never meet the Gray Fox to Kojima's Snake

What's going on here?
