Generally these games are really ugly Abstract. Abstract is the word you're looking for. They do that quite well. However I suppose it would be hard to appreciate if you're narrow-minded when it comes to different art styles. I have no idea what you mean by "slow paced" though. These are ...

Yeah, Aquapazza is not meant to be played like BlaBlue despite any similarities you may find between the two. It's a true old school fighter with a few new things here and there.

Guilty Gear 2: Overture is a pretty decent spinoff despite what haters say. RTS elements do a good enough job of separating this game from the usual DMC clones. Map designs are large and are fun to run around. Music is likely Ishiwatari's finest compositions to date. Game gets pretty hard later on t...

Psychic Force strongly deserves to get a third chance with the fighting game crowd now that they are more accustomed to aerial based fighters. PF2012's NESiCA re-release was a good start, but a proper sequel could blow current imitators straight out of the water.

Being too tired to do anything productive yet still being unable to sleep no matter how much time I spend in bed. Why does this happen.

Metal Slug 5 is a notable departure from the jazzy/military sounding songs of the other Metal Slugs.

Also, why is DonPachi grouped with its sequel when its music is purely military themed?

I somehow managed to play through Pulseman hundreds of times without figuring out how to clear the bonus rounds from stage 4 and onwards. I have cleared every zone in Darius Gaiden without autofire except for M, V and Z'. I gave up on 100% completion for MMBN4 despite only being 5% away from it just...

You have no taste.

I wasn't suggesting that it's likely to happen, only that others are speculating it. Though I am worried about where Kliff and Justice will end up again. As you can tell by looking at them in AC+R, they're pretty hard to balance due to their general mechanics being incredibly strong by default and I...
