Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu 1.5 [JP X360, 11/25/2010]

[EOJ]

An 11.1 trillion Arrange A score is now up on the leaderboards, a huge jump from the previous high of 5.9trillion. Too bad the guy didn't put up his replay, wonder where he's getting all those extra points....

[KOA]

I'm wondering about that too. I could probably understand if it's from endless milking w/ a high hit count, but what are the chances of that happening?

One brand new copy of the regular edition for 3550 yen (includes the ver 1.51 download card):

Be quick!

I encountered a weird bug while playing Arrange A Training mode in stage 5. After a hyper phase the game stayed in slow motion mode, like when you begin to trigger a hyper. Then for the whole stage it stayed like this. Anybode else had this happening?

I am totally in love with Ver L (aka Arrange A). I think it's even better than Ver 1.5. Well, I find it way more fun than Ver 1.5 anyway. The scoring is brilliant and the 2nd loop is actually fun too.

The scoring system feels like Mushihimesama Maniac mode, Mushihimesama Futari God Mode, and Daioujou BL all wrapped together, with Daifukkatsu 1.5 Power Style sprinkled on top.

Ver L > Ver 1.5 > Ver 1.5 Novice > Ver 1.51 > Arrange B

I'm inclined to agree. Arrange A is most fun for me too, I much prefer its scoring to the complexity of 1.5 and it makes me appreciate the grandeur of the game a lot more. Still way too easy as a survival game though (based on the 1st loop.)

You triggered the magic sweet spot. Now if I only I could trigger it myself in a score attack run...

Patch should hit tomorrow, new BGM options announced in DFK BL:

Awesome. Waiting for the 3rd of February doesn't feel that hard now. So when BL DLC is purchased, you can play BL with the 1.5 music? Why would someone do that? 

I hope in some future port that comes with arrange music we can pick and choose our favourite tracks from both. Like:
stage1 - PCB (stereo)
stage2 - arrange
stage3 - arrange
stage4 - PCB (stereo)

The only consistently great arrange OST for me is ESPGALUDA II, almost all of the other ones I would like to mix and match.

PATCH IS OUT.

Hmm....anyone else had a problem with Arrange A not prompting you to enter high scores?  I got a score that should have been on the list on my last run, but I never got prompted for initials, and the high score table still shows all my old scores.

EDIT: nm, forgot I had to go to score attack in order to do that

So... does anyone know what the hell is going on in arrange B?
I think I am enjoying arrange A the most. Being a fan of DOJ.

This explains quite a bit. Pretty unnecessary shit all over the shop.

DFK BL DLC on sale for just 400 MS points this week:

Great time to get it. Even if you have the disc version, the DLC ver is a good deal for $5 as you get access to different leaderboards with different replays.

[Third_strike]

Where can I buy 100 ms points?

[AweOfShe]

Oh, perfect timing. I just got the Platinum Collection release when it came out too. I'll be grabbing it.

[SomeMist]

kind of embarassing, but can someone help me find the download link. I'm looking at http://marketplace.xbox.com/ja-JP/Product/%E6%80%92%E9%A6%96%E9%A0%98%E8%9C%82-%E5%A4%A7%E5%BE%A9%E6%B4%BB-Black-Label/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802435a07df?SortBy=BestSellingToday right now right now and all I see is two videos and two extras packs.

[EOJ]

Buy it through the dfk 1.5 page, not the dfk bl page.

[AweOfShe]

So I ended up downloading it, and I'm having a blast. I'm pretty terrible at it though, atm.

Also preordered the DFK MBL Cave Selection. I guess I'll be going DFK crazy for the next month or two (or three).

[SomeMist]

I guess it was just easier to buy it through the disc (lol), but I wanted to buy it while at work. Thanks EOJ.
