i've got graze counter but not played it much yet. i really like shikigami no shiro 2 which had a grazing mechanic, it increased your shot power iirc. hopefully psyvariar on steam means the (non-Japanese) physical console version i ordered ages ago will finally be released. played it on ps2 but never really got into the grazing/leveling up mechanics so hope to give it a proper go this time. i credit feed sometimes but also don't sometimes. still playing ketsui too, beat my old high score from maybe ~7 years ago, just scraping over 60m

yeah i'm not sure if it's new or i wasn't noticing it before but it seems to mess up for me maybe once in ~2000 hits so not too bad really, i've been going for full combos so if it was more often i probably would have given up. got the platinum a few weeks ago and not played since though. still want to go back to do the no-arrow charts.

1. Guitar Hero 2 2. DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou 3. Frequency 4. Amplitude 5. Persona 4 6. Gran Turismo 4 7. Espgaluda 8. Gitaroo Man 9. Devil May Cry 3 10. Shadow of the Colossus

I think this is just what you’re used to, I started on bullet hell stuff, and find the more old school type ones, like rtype, much harder. remember playing skies of Arcadia and not being able to do maybe the 3rd fight, now I only try turn based games if there’s an easy mode. Similar for stuff like dmc and Bayonetta - I like them but I’m useless. Also omega pirate from Metroid prime - used a cheat disk to finish it in the end.

edit - not free apparently, sorry. ^ that new dlc pack looks like it might be free? although i did buy the other song pack so possibly that's why it's showing as free. https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP2475-CUSA12813_00-P3DP5DCINEMATICS also one of the songs and the featherman outfits are free for ps4 P4D. https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP2475-CUSA12811_00-ADDCONTDLCF0000D https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP2475-CUSA12811_00-ADDCONTDLCD0000E

^ I vote beat saber.

V is ace. i'm also not sure how you could play it without a ps2, maybe emulation, i don't know.

I think amplitude is ace, but if you don’t like the music and/or rhythm action games I don’t think it’ll change your mind.

Never played super metroid either, did try one of the GBA ones and couldn't beat the first boss so would be rubbish at it anyway. Keep meaning to try a Pokémon game, and final fantasy 7.

Ori, dirt rally 2, blue revolver update, esp.ra.de. that DJ game looks ace too, as does the one with swords and motorbikes.

^ yeah it looks like there are only 20 leaderboard slots, unless i'm missing something. shame. sure the vita P4 one had proper leaderboards. i never really got on with miku either, well i thought it was alright, but yeah also much prefer these, both for gameplay and music.

other than being a rhythm action game it doesn't play much like miku. it plays a bit like superbeat xotic, or samba de amigo without the maracas, comparisons which may not be that useful, a video maybe a better explanation, although this is just the first tutorial which doesn't explain everything and a gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxMhQ9yvepE personally i think the persona 4 one is the best one so would say the vita version on the cheap would be a good plan. the story mode goes on a bit mind so possibly might want to skip dialogue by holding triangle.

^ I don't think those games have been mentioned. They are doing esp.ra.de, and it seems like they might do batrider but that's not been officially announced. Edit - both of those are likely PS4, don't know about switch.

another new song was added recently. i'm still playing this, been going for achievements but don't think i'll get the last few. still got the non-arrow mode to play too, finding that pretty difficult as it switches red/blue being on the wrong side a lot more than usual.

If you’re having difficulty correcting slides/spins then I’d guess it’s still a bit broken as that was the old problem. Changing some setting did help previously, but I haven’t tried these official setup instructions. i did play most of the game with a wheel though and really enjoyed it, there was a lot of rewinding involved mind, and left the drift events and more off road stuff to do on a pad. Previous for a horizon games I’ve really enjoyed with the wheel too, they didn’t have this same wheel problem iirc.
