Who's your most hated shmup developer?

Post by Radiant Hero »

With everyone always praising this and that about certain game developers, I thought it was about time to talk about developers that bring you disgust more than anything. Now, let me explain that this is a subjective opinion and has no relavence to anythng other than personal preferance. I believe that Psyko takes the cake for me. I actually love Zero Gunner 2, but everthing else just seemd so standard that I sometimes wonder how they are even surviving. Gunspike was so boring to me and Strikers is laughable.

That's funny, I was just playing Sengoku Ace on the PS2 the other night and thinking what a nice example of a traditional tate shooter it is. Yeah, they don't fill the screen up with mind numbing amounts of bullets, but the patterns still manage to be complex enough that I was having a hard time with it.

I'm a relative newb, so I can't single out a developer that consistently sucks. But I never liked Tiger-Heli. It actually put me off the whole genre until adulthood.

SNK made Alpha Mission II, which is horrible, and the first shmup I've played that I haven't enjoyed.

Despite owning most of their games more than once, I am not a fan of Milestone.

Square. Both their shmups are so over hyped it's ridiculous, they're both ok but nothing spectacular.
I'd put Psykio as second to last. I really don't dislike them at all, I just like them least.
