Quick question for people who watched this video or the previous one I made.
Do you guys enjoy the format and the way I edit these things? Regardless of the actual gameplay or content, do you like the way it's presented?
I'm trying to make them more interesting than just dumping footage on my channel but I haven't received much feedback on that part of the videos so I'm curious!
Please be critical, I want to improve

So, what ship to use, guys? Do you feel a certain ship is better for certain levels/difficulties? Phobos' shot is BEAST, and OD is insane, but I just can't beat some of the bosses with it. It dodges way too slow. Well, I dodge way too slow but the ship certainly doesn't help!
I'm partial to Nemesis myself.
Also, damn if this game doesn't get tough in a hurry. The difficulty spikes are pretty insane even on Normal difficulty setting.
Holy FUCK this game is awesome.
That last level is fucking hard, even on rookie. I popped the Silver for bagging two humans at once on my first playthrough which was awesome. The rest will come with plenty of experience and a dash of luck.
I can see myself playing this one a lot for a while.

You don't have to do it all in one playthrough, getting all the maps done individually should get you the trophy.
You can just level select. It pops when you get all bronze trophies.
I just need a 15x multiplier and beat the game twice more with the other ships to get my plat. But the ship trophies aren't unlocking for me

They only unlocked for me while doing arcade mode and all stages in one go. Its rather easy on rookie.
The 15x multiplier was the last one I needed for the platinum. I personally found it to be the toughest, more so than the one credit clear trophy.

phobos can you get the 15x easy.
Ah OK. I took a break and came back in arcade mode. I will go in one run on each tonight.
Roger that. I was reading some peeps like Nemesis and rolling on Decima Veteran. I'll roll Phobos. Tried it on Master but killing things too fast the multiplier resets so quick. I'll save it for last as mentioned so I can concentrate on memorizing spawns to plan ahead so I dont lose the MP from killing too quick.
Thanks guys!
Seems this is wide of the mark (it is true, but not what they're hinting at with the blue arrows).
From the FB page:
Get juggling.
Also, latest tip:
Looking forward to finally getting to play this tomorrow. ^_^
There's more to it than that
And about the Overdrive minigame, try holding down R1 instead of just tapping it. The circle is the key!
Did nobody know this? Found it the first time I used OD.There's more to it than that

Who taps overdrive?
Most people I've seen play the game on stream were just tapping R1, I guess it's not immediately obvious to everyone.

I'm still loving this game. Today I finished up all but 1 trophy, I need to beat it on experienced without losing all lives. The game is tough but I found the key is to know the levels and after dying enough times you get to know which enemies come out and their movements.
Yep. I had the hardest time trying to get all humans on the last level the first few times since I was busy shooting everything a stray bullet would wind up hitting a keeper out of order during the last phase. Once you memorize the patterns its nice. Although on Master it gets tricky with every enemy dumping revenge bullets ha!
That is my favorite ship as well. However, I kept hearing positive things about the Phobos. Played the last map and got blown up pretty quick.
Gave it one more shot from the beginning and doubled my high score -_-
May make the final push for my first Ps4 Platter of Platanos.

It's all for naught. JoeFenix found out about veteran mode and shat all over it with some obscene score.
The score ceiling on Veteran is much much higher than what I got on that run though.
haha

Okay it wasn't in the manual... where do I check how much boost I have? And when overdrive is ready?
I noticed there are some circular bars around the ship but I dunno what they mean.

What?
It's the...very same studio responsible for Super Stardust! oO

Got the platinum tonight... spent a lot of freaking time trying to get that 15X multiplier... finally got that done and then all I had to do was beat the game on Experienced without continuing... was going through with a friend and we went into level 5 with zero lives, yet we somehow did it. Boss couldn't even finish all of his "stages" of attacks.

Got the platinum, hoping for some new maps to come out soon. excellent gameplay. Joe Fenix is a beast his scores are so much higher than the #2 guy

also what's the best ship to maximize scores on Master Mode? I use nemesis because of the lock on and boosting abilities.
There's still room for massive amounts of improvement but I hit the major scoring opportunities that I was aiming for so I'm pretty happy with this run.
Made a video out of the limited amount of footage I managed to get from the PS4 capture, still waiting for that damn HDCP stripper to show up....
Died on the last boss because I was distracted but the video shows you the basic strategy that I use to defeat him. Not saying it's the best but that's how I do it, It's actually very rare that I die on him but the red circles are trickier on Hero.

Controls don't feel right having movement on the left analogue stick, end result is you can't move left/right at a constant speed if you're also changing height - and the D pad can't be used.
Pretty basic failing, how did nobody understand that it compromises the feel of the game - it's immediately obvious if you've ever played arcade games. Could have been fixed having U/D on right stick with any amount of L/R to fire, or by simply enabling the D pad.

Feels fine to me. Using the D-pad would limit range of movement to 8 axis. No thanks. Having UP/down on the right analog along with shooting would also limit movement. Using analogs allows the player to make subtle movements in any direction the analog can face.
Play the game on Master where every enemy throws a revenge bullet and your screen is literally filled to the brim with enemies and projectiles that want to kill you. Moving at top speed to avoid one bullet can lead you into another.
Greater control of your ships trajectory and speed are paramount to surviving later levels on Master as you dont want to blow OD, Bombs or boost if you have an opportunity to outmaneuver projectiles. D-pad would cripple this game. Nooooooo thanks.
I said enable the D-Pad, not mandate it. There are a lot of us out there playing games a lot more intense than this with microswitched joysticks. You're wrong about the U/D on the right stick though - you'd have full U/D/L/R at any time, with only a tiny amount of movement either way needed to fire.
Way it is now, is just wrong because needing to move up/down quickly kills your horizontal movement. I'd prefer more flexibility to people can configure it to suit - not sure why that's so unfashionable these days..
Maybe it could be patched in
This ends our discussion. My opinion is my opinion. I suppose you think every game that slaps a learning curve and restrictions to mechanics is also "wrong" because every game needs to play like every other game and can't have its own mechanical identity.
You are entitled to your opinion, sure, but I am, too. With that, you won't see a reply from me again so post away as if I'm still paying attention.
When keepers arrive, kill them. They are highlighted with a green glow. Some have to be killed in a specific order. When you kill the last keeper you will see a spark fly up and towards the human leaving a trail through the map. If you can't see it due to OMG on screen, a green arrow appears on the reticule around your ship pointing to the nearest human ready for pick up. Fail to pick them up and an enemy will pick them up and take them away.
Does somebody also know if it is possible to actively free the humans from their "cells"? Or do I have to wait until they come out?
Right above your post. Also, there is another thing to keep in mind that not all humans are freed by keepers. I'll let you guys figure it out. Its not hard.
Phase 1: just fly and shoot.
Phase 2: move out of the red indicators and keep shooting the tentacles as the fly up/down. TAP boost if you are in trouble. Keep moving in one direction.
Phase 3: stay CLOSE to the hydra. Real close. It won't move but it shoots in bursts aimed at you. The further you are away the smaller the gap will be between bursts. Staying close allows you to move up/down between them.
Phase 4: repeat phase 2 and stay out of the red circles. Keep moving in one direction and keep shooting behind you.
Phase 5: repeat phase 1 while dodging the bullets it sprays in bursts. Stay medium range and dive between bullets as they spread. Tap boost if you need to.
Edit: tapping boost gets you out of harm's way and allows it to quickly recharge to get ready to tap it again quickly.
