Gabriel Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I just noticed that Deathsmiles IIx is available in Games on Demmand for $29.99. Does that mean that there won't be a disc release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Yep, no disc release. Worse is that it's not even translated! I'm not paying $30 for a download only game that's not even translated! I know it's just a shooter, but I still want to be able to read the story. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'd consider buying it if they had localized it. I'd guess the menus are in English but the story isn't. That's still not good enough. If I imported the disc release I could understand it not having localization but not when they're putting it in the download section of my country. Cave doesn't think they can make enough money with disc releases on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ever offer it for like 1200 points I might consider, as is, I agree "not good enough" I might go for it if they mailed you a faceplate!

Austin Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Damn, I figured they would at least translate it.. This isn't "realeasing it in the US" if you ask me. It's just a fancy way of playing the import game.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) I just came on here to ask to see if there was a disc release or not. However, youtube leads me to want this game asap.... it looks amazing. EDIT: I can buy it with MS points. I got drunk one night and decided to buy 6000 points for some godawful reason. Now I have a reason to use some of it. Edited May 18, 2011 by keilbaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And... it paid off in the end! I got deathsmiles! Seriously... who plays shmups for the story line? I wished we could get the JP version of the original deathsmiles... hearing the characters sound like stereotypes are terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wished we could get the JP version of the original deathsmiles... hearing the characters sound like stereotypes are terrible. Well, yeah.. But the story in DS was actually kind of cool. At least the alternate ending thing was. It was a twist you don't see in many shooters and it helps make the DS experience what it is. I can of course do without story elements in my shmups, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious what happens to the characters in part II.

HammR25 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Back when porn magazines were relevant I'd read them for the stories. That's how I like my shmups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I guess I am the oddball then... The game is great, I've only dabbed with the first few levels and the game is fairly easy. However, in arcade mode, my Rosa is gone... but they put her in the X360 mode. So I've just been playing that mode with Rosa. I should be able to do a video by the end of the week.

otaku Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I can understand not doing a disc release-sad though cause the LE set they did with the first one was great (soundtrack and faceplate!) anyway not localizing and still charging 30 kinda sucks. Cut that price in half and its alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepesc Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The way I understand it, Microsoft will not allow a game to be released as "Games on Demand" unless there is first a disc release. Aside from the expense, if DS2 was translated, it would no longer be the same game that got a disc release (in Japan) and therefore, would not be allowed in GoD. So yes, this is just a way to play the import game without importing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 YAY for bumping! Finally took this game semi seriously. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYhN6Pq-KJc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzSDgpvoSVs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxd Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Let me know when it's 50% off. I don't do $30 download games.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Let me know when it's 50% off. I don't do $30 download games.... Its a Cave game, I am not entirely sure if it will ever go down. They're still set on their ps2 game prices from years ago on Mushihimesama and Espgaluda II. If it does, I'll be sure to bump it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I just got one billion, and I didn't make it to the final stage. I did it online too, so if you're my friend (Hoyoooo), you can view my replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I bought and love the first deathsmiles at retail and was wondering about this one. Is it just a remix or something or is it really an all new game? If it is an all new one, I wouldn't mind the $30 too much. Though I hope at least the pirates have some way for me to have my $30 on a disc. I hate paying money for nothing (but I do like the free chicks!)

Austin Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Just check out some videos, it's a full-on sequel. The 2D sprite-based graphics have been mostly replaced with 3D polygonal visuals though (2.5D look, so to say). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I hope at least the pirates have some way for me to have my $30 on a disc. I hate paying money for nothing (but I do like the free chicks!) Its a whole new game, with a similar but slightly different scoring system, in Arcade mode. IIx mode has special blue bullets that follow you once you activate, and when you press the two fire buttons again (the same as your activation), you get even more gems. I was informed of how the scoring system works, and my high score went from 1 bil to 2.8 bil. I will be recording this very soon and throwing it up on YouTube. EDIT: Has anything new came out since this? Just curious as I would love to play something new. I'm close to the end of this game, and am anxious to playing something else. I should finish the original Deathsmiles... Edited November 4, 2011 by keilbaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
