transience 12/30/19 7:49:03 PM #38:	29. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2W4KK994WA 2001 Arcade + many consoles Look, Im not good at Ikaruga despite my best honest effort. Im good at a few different types of games but shmups are not one of them. A good run for me is getting to level 3, and level 4 just seems literally impossible without pure memorization of every second. I feel the same way about trying to play a piano masterpiece - yeah, maybe I could do it with a gargantuan effort, but I would need to memorize every note and how my hands would move to them individually, almost like muscle memory in a mega hard platformer or something. My pattern recognition just isnt what it needs to be to succeed in a thing like Ikaruga. But man, I love the visual stimulation that Ikaruga offers in every fleeting second. Changing polarity is legitimately genre-changing. Every second of this gem feels important because the full game is like 24 minutes long. Ikaruga packs so much feeling into those 1500 killer seconds. --- xyzzy <cite>transience posted [p:932256853] in transience...
