best 360 game this side of chromehounds. i would've lined up to pay $60 for this.

i need to find a controller with a decent d-pad, though -- analog stick doesn't feel right, and the stock 360 d-pad is horrible

i'm aware of that mod, but i'm 90% sure i'd ruin my 360 pad trying to sand it. there's a hori pad i've got my eye on

yeah, hori looks good but no wireless

btw, you can do it with a screwdriver too, here are the instructions: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5836904&postcount=182

old thread and pics ain't working but still, shouldn't be hard and you don't have to take the controller apart.

this game rules!!!

oh wait my 360 MELTED on 12/31 and Best Buy won't have any in stock to replace it for another TWO WEEKS

FUCK YOU MICROSOFT

why isn't this on the superior, or at least available, PSN :'(

hyp · « **Reply #8 on:** January 09, 2008, 01:22:03 PM »

two weeks? is the 360 supply constrained right now or some shit

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #9 on:** January 09, 2008, 02:25:10 PM »

within an hour's drive the Best Buy stores only have:

1) Xbox 360 Arcade
2) Xbox 360 Halo Edition

Neither is, uh, a real choice.

that was the case at my local fry's about a week or two ago. now they have a shit ton of premiums. still no elites though.

i was all set to do that mod, but it turns out you need a 'torx t8h' screwdriver to open a wireless pad. even a regular torx screwdriver won't do -- i think i bought one to open up an snes cart or something. and i don't know about doing it the lazy gaf way. if i'm going to spend money on this, i may as well go for the hori pad

lol 360 -- it gets its best game in ages and the whole thread is about hardware issues

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #18 on:** January 09, 2008, 08:00:17 PM »

d-pad sucks, 360 melts, what else is new
disgruntled_jojo got a d-pad torque device for Xmas, I'm gonna have him HOOK ME UP
once I own a 360 controller again
fucking 360

The Sceneman · « **Reply #19 on:** January 09, 2008, 08:29:34 PM »

how much are Hori pads? I was thinking of picking one up as I only have one pad for my 360, I'll probably snag one off play-asia when I buy the No More Heroes soundtrack and AWDS2 omg

thats gonna be 1 x sexy package

drohne · « **Reply #20 on:** January 09, 2008, 08:40:54 PM »

play asia hasn't got them in stock. i ordered one from japanvideogames.com for about $30 -- but i think you're in new zealand or something, and i don't know how much shipping would be

The Sceneman · « **Reply #21 on:** January 09, 2008, 09:10:23 PM »

shipping from asia is never too bad, as NZ is fairly close, I buy from play-asia all the time and shipping is only a couple of bucks

drohne · « **Reply #22 on:** January 09, 2008, 09:13:09 PM »

japanvideogames is in los angeles -- i used to drive out there from time to time. overpriced, usually, but they've got tons of controllers and cables and older games and things

The Sceneman · « **Reply #23 on:** January 09, 2008, 09:14:51 PM »

hmmm, I might check them out anyway, Ive been on the lookout for some genesis pads also so I can finally play Robo Aleste

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #24 on:** January 09, 2008, 11:11:16 PM »

this game is some sort of side-scrolling shooter then? wouldn't buying an arcade stick be a better investment than a new controller? Rectify my ignorance, EB

Besides, you're not going to be playing Omega Five with an arcade stick because it uses dual analogue, like GW and MS.

whhhhaaaaaaaat then why were we talking about crappy d-pads

drohne · « **Reply #27 on:** January 10, 2008, 01:46:12 AM »

moving with the analog stick feels off to me. even the shitty 360 d-pad is an improvement.

hyp · « **Reply #28 on:** January 10, 2008, 01:17:47 PM »

this game is crack. i was finally able to 1-credit with ruby. i tried with tempest and died on the 3rd stage boss. :'(

i started off playing with tempest and when i switched to ruby i was like omgwtfbbq, she kicks ass. but the bullet reflect system on tempest is ace, that shit has gotten me out of so many sticky situations.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #29 on:** January 10, 2008, 01:46:23 PM »

I really liked the demo, but I'm no pro at this genre. Will I be able to enjoy the game, or is it going to beat the shit out of me later on and make it a waste?

hyp · « **Reply #30 on:** January 10, 2008, 01:55:43 PM »

you'll be able to enjoy it as long as you put some time into it. if you just want a pick up and play experience, don't even bother. you may get frustrated early on. it took me a while to beat the game on the initial 3 credits it offers. you unlock more credits once you hit the hour mark i think. and when you complete the game with certain characters your credits get boosted to 8.

but if you want to 1-credit this bitch, it takes a lot of memorization of patterns with a bit of strategy thrown in. getting high scores is a skill in itself.

I can't find 360 sticks anywhere, either. :'( I really want one for VF5.

Great XBLA game but holy shit is it ever tough. I'm getting my ass handed to me in the second level.

I just wish it had Forgotten World's power-up system where you could buy upgrades and such in the shop. Of course if it did that then I guess it really would be Forgotten Worlds 2.....nothing wrong with that though.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #37 on:** January 20, 2008, 10:41:37 PM »

I did

Got the 30 second combo achievement too in that run

It took me 4 or 5 tries to beat the stage 2 boss though, and I used all my lives doing it. (once in the level, once in the boss, then the last one a short way into stage 3).

Yeah, stage 2 fucks me every time I try it. I always die once or twice on it. The farthest that I've got in this game so far is level 3's boss.
