CAVE Games / Re: The "what Cave game(s) are you playing right now?" thread
« Last post by EOJ on Today at 12:49:08 AM »I'm playing a lot of DFK 1.5 with B-Strong these days. I'm making progress slowly. I really love SDOJ for its simplicity, but overall, I've come to the realization that DFK 1.5 is the best Donpachi. Tremendous depth, very fun scoring, two loops, amazing graphics/sound. It checks all the boxes. It's just the definitive Donpachi game, really.
In other news, I sold my Ibara Kuro because I gave up on trying to beat my old score. Best I could muster was 99 million. It is a fun game to bust out for a 1CC once in awhile, but the scoring system is incredibly frustrating when you start doing above-average routines -- you need both luck and incredible precision. The scoring is also oddly unbalanced and the grazing system is not my favorite cup of tea. I would have kept it, but it goes for over $3000....I don't keep things that expensive unless I intend to play them seriously. I could write a lot more in detail about what I love and hate about this game. Maybe someday. But for now suffice it to say it is the definitive love/hate game for me. Some days I love it, other days I want to chuck it out the window. Probably best I don't own it for now. Might try again in 10 years if my hands (and eyes) aren't shot to hell by then! And as a final note, it took me 10+ years but now I know the original Ibara is the better game, which is why for the time being I have kept it (though sometimes I want to chuck it out the window too).
