Quick Look: Galaga Legions DX

@KickahaOta: Thanks for sharing, duder. Your post was informative and a breeze to read, so don't apologize for length

Only checked this out because of the DX in the name. I wasn't disappointed.

Nuts to Child of Eden. Galaga Legions DX all the way.

I love how Brad has to make a huge scene every time he introduces a new feature.

OH DEAR JESUS WHERE DO I SIGN UP

Ridiculous amount of firepower at the end.

I lol'ed because Brad hadn't noticed the path lines. Also, when's the PSN release?!

Oh Brad... Can you never notice important game mechanics? Those squiggly lines foreshadow the enemies' path. The trend seems to consist of throwing as many enemies or shots on screen. It's gotten to the point where you're fighting swarm intelligences. Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that's a bad thing.

quick looks not even over yet and i already bought it. BOOM.

I loved Pacman dx - getting this, fuck yeah!

I would sell a kidney for Mappy DX

FUCK MAPPY,  
 
DIG DUG DX .  It even has alliteration.

This needs to be the next scrub league challenge.

I'm worried that if I was in a situation where I actually had to use the "serpentine" maneuver, my response might be to laugh given all the comedy stuff I've seen depicting it.
 
Very, very bad habit. Cuz, y'know, apocalypse.

Cheatsheet patterns ftl.

don't you dare do anything to a Smash TV machine!!

watching this just makes my want to play pac man champion edition dx

I'm not quite sure how I feel. Definitely has an appeal for me, but it doesn't grab to say I have to get this game. I think I'll probably wait until it goes on sale likes most games do these days. Already have some games I need to finish.

Looks about the same to me. The slowdown is new and a very welcome addition. It made Pac-Man CE DX infinitely better than it's predecessor.

never been one for galaga, but this looks awesome!

This looks hella dumb

Their excitement over this is ridiculous. This looks remarkably similar to Legions, yet they hate that. Slap a DX on it and add one or two differences, and suddenly they're adoring fans. (Also, listening to Brad talk about features in this game as if they're new is infuriating revisionism. It takes 10 seconds of research to realize these are familiar mechanics to Legions.)

Yeah.  I'm gonna go replay Legions just to make sure, but I didn't really notice many chances outside of some aesthetic tweaks.  Weird reason to fall in love with a game.

If you spread ignorant fud, you're going to get called out by people who know better.

Keep on making these DX games.
