Forum Overview :: Caltrops High Score Forum :: Re: Starcraft sucks because rushing will win EVERY. GAME.

[quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Mischief Maker"]I readily admit that War Twat is not a good arcade game and I introduced it on the High Score forum to reel people into the joke. [/quote] Not since telling INC that Alone in the Dark was a game about dark sewers has caltrops been so shattered by a punchline. [quote][quote]The first one's main cause of death was the programmers not doing their job with an intuitive hit box[/quote] Yeah, that stupid hitbox located dead center of the player's sprite, highlit whenever you're in focus fire. Where on earth could it be?[/quote] It was one pixel big and somehow they even managed to fuck that up. [quote]Maybe your problem is that you're still approaching shmups from the mindset of ten years ago, when they died stateside.[/quote] I don't think telling ourselves "Times have changed" is going to make these games any less boring. It should be immediately obvious why <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ztCxpBmXuA&e">stuff like this</a> is tedious. I'm not spotting any openings where you can dash forward and shotgun Phantom in the mouth. On second thought, I heartily recommend Ikaruga to you. You'll love it.[/quote]
