I don't like psikyo either and doj is overrated, ketsui is much better

Why don't we find some common ground by sharing the games we've played that align with the thread. I'll start us off:

>shmups
>run 'n guns
Haven't played these much outside of online flash games once or twice
>fighting games
Casually played Smash Bros 64, Melee, and SFIII Third Strike
>rhythm games
Guitar Hero and similar games, StepMania and similar games, mobile phone games
>beat 'em ups
Dungeon Fighter Online is the only one I've played but I was pretty good
>action-platformers
Standard stuff like Mario and DK
>racing games
Mario Kart 64 and Double Dash, occasionally played them at the arcade. Played Gran Turismo once
>classic score attacks
Uh Tetris I guess? Had some cool PC version of it back in the day, would have to find that
And Pac-Man, arcade shooters similar to Space Invaders
>Any other arcade or arcade-like games
That one game Gauntlet I think?
Outside of that standard pinball, air hockey, arcade basketball, etc. The stuff kids play at IRL arcades
>>
>>555949547
>fighting games
Big into Street Fighter and Virtua Fighter but I am not really following SF6 anymore.
>shmups
Dodonpachi series. I haven't branched out yet but I play these games at least once a week. Not really great at em though
>run 'n guns
Not a genre I am really familiar with. Played some Contra.
>rhythm games
I had Hatsune Miku on the PS3. Otherwise mobile games
>beat em ups
Only have experience with Street of Rage series.
>action plattformers
Do games like Castlevania fall in this category? Love the whole series.
>racing games
Big into arcade racers. Playing Tokyo Xtreme Racer a lot atm

So basically my favorite arcade genres are shmups (even though my knowledge is very limited), fighting games and racers.
>>
>>555952902
Yeah I thought about Castlevania for that category but haven't played it myself beyond like 5 minute stints when a friend would let me try it out
>>
>>555890326
Reporting for duty.
My favorite arcade-like shmups are Crimzon Clover and Psyvariar. I've also been playing Einhander sometimes lately, I don't exactly love it but getting farther and farther on each attempt is pretty satisfying.
I'm also a big fan of rhythm games, especially the rock band series and DJMAX. There's also a touhou-themed rhythm game (Dankagu PL) which I can easily recommend to anyone who likes 2hu arrangements, it's pretty cheap nowadays.
>>
>>555959782
>Danmaku PL
Great game
>>
>>555949547
>shmups
I'm not good at them at all but when I had my shmup phase I got really into Battle Garegga and the Gradius series, especially Gradius V and Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius (Parodius series is unmatched in terms of aesthetic and music, just pure fun)
>run 'n guns
I love Alien Soldier and Cuphead, they're two of my favorite games of all time. I never really got into Contra, and I've never 1cc'd a Metal Slug game because I'm a shitter and they don't give you any extends.
>fighting games
Not my strong suit. I like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 the most, or Smash if it counts
>rhythm games
I used to play a lot of osu!, not anymore though. Currently I'm playing a lot of Taiko no Tatsujin and trying to get better. Right now I'm around a low 7* Oni level.
>beat 'em ups
Not really a fan honestly. I like DMC and The Wonderful 101 if those count (probably don't, fairly different than what you'd usually think of as a bmup)
>action-platformers
Castlevania is the best NES game of all time
>racing games
Mario Kart series, Crash Team Racing, also put a bunch of time into Gran Turismo 4
>classic score attacks
I love Mappy, Joust, Robotron 2084, and Mario Bros.
>Any other arcade or arcade-like games
I like pinball a lot. I have most of the Williams packs on Pinball FX and I was able to "beat" Addam's Family by clearing all the rooms and getting a pretty high score (top 300 on the leaderboard)
>>
Want to get into shmups but gaming backlog is too long already. Same for fighting games (more seriously than just casual level)
>>
It's a cool concept but I don't think this general is going to work. Between /indie/ (which includes /misc/)and /emugen/ most of the games to be discussed here already have a home. Maybe on a slower board there would be room for discussing games in this specific context, but with the never ending gacha shit it we would be on permanent life-support.
>>555949547
>shmups
ZaroRanger, Graze Counter, Hellstar Squadron, Blue Revolver, Ikaruga, Eschatos, Drainus, and more.
>fighting games
YOMI Hustle
>rhythm games
Thumper, Muse Dash
>beat'em ups
only odern AAA and AA 3d stuff.
>racing games
Motorstrom Arctic Edge, several Ridge Racer titles, and an assortment of classic rally games which i forget the names of.

okay but for me it's the people that put the letter c into the word shmup

W-will I get bullied for talking about Touhou here like in /shmupg/?

>>556007674
literally just run it on your PC at home instead of asking people to tell you to not

>>556007843
yes

>>556008078
>literally just run it on your PC at home instead of asking people to tell you to not
Okay you still need the controller for that which is $300
Unless your keyboard has air note sensors
>>
>>556007843
I shilled this thread on the Touhou general so I have to allow it
>>
>>556008371
you monster

>>556008292
cheaper than the money you'd spend in the arcade
>>
>>556008371
That's why I was asking. Won't annoy you guys that much with it though, assuming this gen lives.
>>
>>556008692
as long as it's the video games it's fine
>>
>>556008692
you could talk about touhou crossovers/collabs in arcade games you know
>>
>>556009817

>>556009938
I really wish they had these special dancers in the modern console releases, I think the last time they had them was the 3DS versions. They're still in the arcade version, but on console/PC it feels like we're missing some of the soul.

>>556066608
bump.
>>
What are you playing at the moment?
>>
>>556083215
Taiko no Tatsujin
Rhythm Festival on Steam and also this sim called PyTaiko that's probably the best sim out there despite being in early development (rolling release version, the so-called "1.1" lags like shit and is unplayable.) The sim is objectively better since you can play every official song ever released but in the official game you get to dress up Don-chan in funny hats so who's to say
>>
>>556084706
Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost. I'm quite bad at the game but hey, gotta put in the work to get good

I'll toss a bump in here but it's fucking over.
/v/ HATES going outside

niggies.
>>
>>556097260
It's about arcade and arcade-style games, not necessarily about actually going to an arcade.
>>
>>556097260
>Work full-time in non-remote job
>Went to an arcade with my family a couple of months ago
Hasn't changed my hatred for going outside.
Anon is right though. Pick yourself up an arcade cabinet or something.
>>
bump
>>
so, does anyone have a sows invite they could help anon out with?
>>
>>556124717
Have a what invite
>>
>>556088092
What difficulty level do you play at, anon?
Hard mode here, trying to FC as many songs as I can (only a quarter done so far). I can clear some of the easiest songs on Lunatic but it tends to feel overcharted and not nearly as fun to play.
>>
>>556130107
Mostly Normal and low Hard on a few songs
>>
It's surprisingly easy to make Taiko no Tatsujin charts
Or maybe not surprisingly. There's two notes
>>
bump
>>
>>556137123
Is there a custom scene for it? (Meaning a community that makes custom charts and the game supports putting them in)
>>
>>
>>556091009
You don't. You bow your head respectfully and look for another game with a free spot.

>>556161850
Is 'gay elf' a reference to something?
>>
>>556166768
Yeah, you
>>
>>556161850
uh oh. based.
>>556166768
>being THIS ignorant of civics and western society at large
>>
WTF is going on
>>
>>556171798
Could you be a little more specific? Are you asking about the image in the post above you? The OP? Something else?
>>
>>556171983
>>556161850
>>556171630
What in the schizo is this
>>
>>556171630
so did we ever figure out why chav explicitly referred gay elf to zelda instead of any other popular jarpig like monhun or FF14?
>>
>>556172115
I'm gonna need you to calm down, anon. It's not schizo anything, they're memes from a general that used to exist called /shmupg/. It's the precursor to this thread.
>>
>>556172390
Probably because the main character looks like a literal gay elf. I'm okay with it because I fucking hate Z*lda.
>>
>>556171630
I see.
>>
>>556172428
OK so it's /vg/ schizo shit
Leave it in the past then
>>
>>556173626
Request respectfully denied. I'm sorry but you will never be a janny (and if you ever become a janny that would actually be even more pathetic).
>>
>more posts about stupid /vg/ bullshit than shmups
OH NONONO RICBROS?
>>
>>556148218
Yeah, and there's a bunch of simulators for the game that play custom charts, like TJAPlayer3
>>
>>556173893
Welcome to /vg/ where people are more interested in arguing about inane shit than talking about video games
>>
>>556173893
makes sense when this entire genre is fake interest
>>
>>556148218
>>556185028
The current official game doesn't support custom charts iirc. But the 3DS version had a modding scene and allowed for custom charts to be injected. But yeah currently people just use simulators

Yeah, but there used to have 10 threads per page. It was extended to 15 threads per page about 7 years ago and 20 threads per page about 3 years ago.
