Quite possibly the greatest shooter of all time is being released tomorrow on Xbox Live for 800 points. I’m seriously considering taking my first ever personal day just for a video game. It is the only game I have played consistently for almost three years.
This game is not for the faint of heart. The person in the video above has played it a lot more than I have, a lot more.
This would be your first ever gaming related personal day? I’m not sure if I should be proud or disgusting at how frequently I do that…
Very nice. It’s shmup week at buttonmashing!
I missed out on Ikaruga on the Gamecube. Looks like I really did miss out.
Got it myself. I used to be able to S++ the first two levels and now I’m struggling to get an A š My skills are lacking and watching that embeded video doesn’t help. Although, really, that guy’s mostly just showing off. There’s little benefit to what he does (except for a few parts which yield extra enemies for higher points).
Yeah. I wondered if anyone here would see that. He’s doing something rare for an Ikaruga player: playing style over substance.
I think it means he’s moved beyond the chains and points aspect of the game and has reached a near nirvana of playing.
Some of his close moves are amazing. He really knows the hit boundaries of the ship. I’ve been trying them for a couple of months now and I still struggle. Once you learn a path that works for yourself it’s hard to unlearn.
