and much easier

Zajebista gra. Pamiętam jak pierwszy raz doleciałem do ostatniego bossa (jeżeli można go tak nazwać, haha) i moje przerażenie gdy zaczął do mnie coś gadać! Dopiero potem - z internetu - dowiedziałem się, że on tak naprawdę tylko powtarzał nazwy wszystkich powerupów od tyłu w nieco zwolnionym tempie, dlatego to tak groteskowo brzmiało :-) Pozdrawiam!

Never heared about the phenomenal PC Engine Super CD version?

The SNES version of Gradius III was also great too

It is certainly very ambitious for the period. I particularly like the geigeresque level design of level 2.

***** HR Giger...but giygas? Both are quite good :P

***** As in HR Geiger. You know from the Alien movies?

@@Terrorkekx even after 32 years.

Shut up!!! Never beautiful!!! Fxxk!!! Ok???

infernal

Youre wrong lol, they didnt even need wallets as both games dont have continues.

I think Gradius 3 is much easier but still difficult

Especially gradius 3 arcade gradius 5 and gradius 4 well most of them are hard

@@Persac7 And that why, some of the games didn't release outside of Nippon. Because, the difficulty will be too much for outside country player to handle. Like what Nintendo never release their original Super Mario Bros 2.

The only reason we survived Gradius 3 on the SNES is because of slowdown. Even then, it was BRUTAL. Kinda interesting they re-used Gradius II bosses for the Boss Rush Stage

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@@lecorbak lenny face indeed

@Kamden Drake the fact that both of you joined two weeks ago and one day apart kinda gives away that you're bots. But to everyone else reading this, have you tried Flixzone? It's actually really good and I watch a lot of movies on it. You should definitely check it out.

@Patrick Schneider Yes, yes they do I love the soundtracks to the Gradius games so much that I honestly can't decide whether I like the Gradius II or Gradius III soundtrack more might be leaning more toward the 3rd game because thats the one I grew up with

+hawaiidkw I have the PS1, Saturn, PCE CD, and PSP ports, I'd never trade them in, no matter the difficulty. Practice makes perfect, and this one requires quite a bit of practice, though Gradius 3 makes this one like a cakewalk. It's not a bad game because it's hard, it's meant for those players who love a great challenge, and this game pays out in spades. Imagine if you had made it to the second loop and beyond, you think the first loop is hard, oh no, the later loops will eat you alive.

Okay, try to understand: 1. This was before widespread, dependable internet access, hence I had absolutely no idea that this was one of those games "meant for players who love a great challenge", in which case I would've avoided it like a week-old durian. (Not to mention I was young then and hardly immune to wishful thinking when I should've known better...World Heroes 2, anyone?) 2. Please, for the love of Anoa, don't use Gradius 3 as a baseline for _anything_. Yes, I know how utterly insane it is. I know because I've played it on MAME and hence did not have to shell out 50 bucks for it, which is roughly $49.96 more than I would've been willing to spend. 3. No, it's not a bad game because it's hard. It's a bad game because it's RIDICULOUSLY hard. Important distinction. Now, it got like that on the second loop, I'd have no beef. 4. I played the first game. It seemed fairly reasonable. I didn't think it was asking too much for the second game to be close to fairly reasonable. 5. This was the era of Dance Dance Revolution and the original Beatmania. That was what convinced me that Konami could do reasonable difficulty curves. Naive? Maybe. Like I said, I was young then.

+hawaiidkw or play the x68000 version and believe me it's twice as hard because of the resolution

hawaiidkw haha funny story mate. These old shmups are a whole 'nother level of difficulty.

Confirmed. Loop 2's pre-stages are difficult as it is, and the actual stages are hell even with powerups. Practicing recovery runs will be a pain.

You can only have 4 options No more

​@@Persac7dunno if you can on other games, I thought they were just saying the rule of thumb for option hunters. Never met those but I was never a good player. Wonder if that can be situationally useful to lower dynamic difficulty

That bird looks scary. 😨😨😨

Like the Gradius III title, From the Legend to the Myth...

+John Gaines I agree with you, but it's still plagued with design flaws and bullshit. While Gradius Gaiden and Gradius V share some of the problems with their ancestors, they're definitely superior.

That's a good dream bro... A good Dream

If you think Gradius II is hard, beware of R-Type II!

Gradius 3 is harder.

I was able to reach the 6 level only in 8 months doing a play every day

I beaten the arcade version, it's hard!

Not as hard as Gradius 3 (AC version) and Gradius V on very hard difficulty

Cirno would be proud to Gofer

“I am the strongest”

You mean *I am goper*

@@Persac7 gofer is too easy to destroy men.

good game, easy pick up and play, but not for those faint-hearted gamers

I think that's an emulation problem. A similar problem shows up in the end credits when Earth is rendered. Layer drawing on the original hardware often relied upon very precise signal timing.

Think it means "Attack Of Gofer"

Neo james82 It actually means "Gofer's ambition".

Shirabe Tsukuyomi Ah thank you for the correction :)

+Neo james82 it actually means ambition of gofer

This sub title actually have a sequel for msx,called gofer no yabou episode ii

You think they upload all these thousands of playthroughs from original hardware? lol they obviously emulate.

He says I'm just a small portion of empire bacterion

+Sonicxtremer lol, now I can hear it. I wish I knew what the final boss said at the beginning of the fight also. What cheesy voice acting. And I love how Konami portrayed bacteria like it was this terrible thing, when we have a trillion of them in our bodies on average, and when more and more evidence is coming out that bacteria is actually vital to survival - not enough of it, or not enough of the right kind, can cause all kinds of health problems. So this whole "stop the bacterion empire" thing is based on a false premise the whole time! I also find the death speech of the boss of Gradius 3 pretty funny too. That one has a dumb voice and speaks a bit ungrammatically.

at the beginning he says I am the strongest

Sonicxtremer Thanks!

Lol...Strongest but die Easiest in the game =D

videogameobsession fucking criminal!!!

Who eventually crumbles at the even stronger hands of Reimu or Rumia, lol.

Available on PS4 for$7.99. The emu is very good too.

Can you do the damn favor of shutting up sometime in your life and stop comparing a game that is much more difficult than this one, can you please do that favor?

Vulcan Venture is the US version of Gradius II.

+taimen asu EU actually

Both.

Life Force is better.

Gradius.

Invencible nostalgy

Casi en todas las rondas de jefes de Gradius son jefes de juegos pasados, sobretodo en Gradius V y este humilde servidor no podria estar mas feliz. Es genial como vuelven a recordar sus viejos juegos... Bueno, era genial... Aun espero que vuelva la Saga de Gradius a la Vida

+Alice Wolff Then wait for it to stop spawning or just choose a better weapon set, Jesus.

Dude, it doesn't stop spawning until you're already past where it would be a problem. I've tried that. You *have* to have a shield or you *will* die at that point, no matter what you do. And the other weapon sets are harder for the rest of the game up to that point, even if they would be good for that particular trap. Remember, it's an arcade game; they aren't always designed with fairness in mind. As long as it was fun enough to keep playing, they'd add cheap deathtraps to eat up your quarters while you figured out the exact way to cheese it.

***** You just have to git gut.

I've done no miss runs of Gradius I and II on the console ports, as well as the original Gradius in an arcade. I'm already good. I'm just not the master of cheap bullshit lol

+Alice Wolff But you haven't no-missed Gradius II arcade, so you are still an uneducated whiner. You can overcome that part easily with your options, using double, ripple or 2-way, even without them it's still doable. There are much more dangerous areas like the Moai stage.

Why? That's the point of playing this game.

Thats the point of the game you dumbass!

Guessing he meant to hold fire since it is laser.
