Wow, that was quick.

Yeah I kind of figured you would say that, but I had to ask anyways :P
quote:
2.] It's significantly different from ESP Ra. De. The secondary attack has been replaced with a "sex change" [kakusei?] move that slows down the bullets. When you shoot enemies in sex-change mode [press B to get in and out of this mode], their bullets turn into gold that your character can suck up for points. [Of course, you'll want to wait until plenty of bullets are on-screen before you start shooting.]
You can't stay in sex-change mode forever, though. You need to collect green jewels from destroying enemies in your normal shot mode. This is a drastically different system from ESP Ra. De.'s. You also have access to a laser type weapon by holding A. [Holding A also slows down your character.] Holding A in ESP Ra. De. is nothing more than an auto-fire mode for your main weapon [that likewise slows you down.]
Plus, the energy bomb works differently as well.
Sounds good then. Neither the secondary weapon "tag" chaining, nor the cycling item systems in ESPRaDe meshed well with me (especially when you have to fish bomber energy out of a cloud of bullets >_<), but the system in ESPGaluda sounds much more to my liking.

So, yea... it's pretty different. It's also supposedly easier than ESP Ra. De.
[Which is kind of a good thing. dai-ou-jou and Ketsui will make you crazy.]
That's probably good for my sanity then: I can only 1-credit ESPRaDe to the Stage 5 midboss. Yeah I've heard Dai-Ou-Jou is stupid hard from just about everyone. The only opinion I've heard on Ketsui is from Exodus's brief write up of the game, and he said it too was easy! Either he's lying, or his shooter skills are on a plane or 10 above that of mere mortals...

Not at all. Thanks for the info.

I really like ESP Ra. De.'s scoring system, myself. It's pretty open-ended and not as tight-assed as any of the Pachi games. [That's not to say I don't like DDP or DOJ, though.] Like every CAVE game, manipulating enemies and items is a very precise artform.
Yea, I never burnt out so hard with a shooter like I did with DOJ. I mean, I haven't stopped playing it completely... but there were times when I just wanted to throw myself out the window when I was playing it every day. I don't get so nutty anymore, thankfully. Well, I try not to... Heh. I really need to get back to the game, actually.
Hmm... as for Ketsui: Mr. Mode7 had first loop videos up at his site last week: http://symphony.gamersgraveyard.com /
Right now he has the second loop vids up only... If you want, I can upload 1-1 through 1-5 for you. Be warned: they're .rm. [Get the Real Alternative codec A.S.A.P.!] But yea, judging by videos alone... Ketsui doesn't look like much of a cakewalk. You really need to get up the enemy's ass if you want to go for the big digits.
Ok, I think that's everything.
