  • FIFTH PROTOTYPE: SKIT PREFACE
    Say it how you say it, I'm just learning you why this is how I do.
    Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours was one of our biggest reviews, especially since so much significant DLC was released following its 2015 release. Part of DBCS was Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX, an enhanced 2011 arcade version of the 2010 arcade installment which itself was derived from the 2009 PSP original.
    Now, ACEX is back with even more restored content as Dariusburst AC EX+ not only on Playstation 4 but also more importantly, the Nintendo Switch. Get ready!

    This is an incredible step down from CS in regards to the lack of all the great ship dlcs from Sega/Capcom/etc. Those are sorely missed by me.

    • @StudioMudprints
      @StudioMudprints  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      To be fair, those were all paid addons, and were added quite a time after the original CS release. They even had to retroactively add an entire menu selection and section for the DLC. All in, CS is well over $100, vs $40 for ACEX+.
      I mentioned it a couple times in the review, but this release makes the most sense - and has much more significance - on Switch than PS4, which is why it's the one in specific being reviewed here.
      But yeah, of course CS outshines ACEX+ (freedom notwithstanding because yechh) on PS4 and especially Steam, thanks to the full 13:9 support, but the expanded ship roster in AC as well as the restored events (and lower price) works well for us, and for those looking to get a physical of a now *long* out of print LRG title.

    Great Review!
    I’ve been seeing good and mixed reviews on the game and the biggest issues I’ve seen has to deal with the aspect ratio and Chronicle Saviors mode so I’ve been on the fence of getting it. The Ratio doesn’t really bother me although I thought it’d be nice if they had the ship’s information in the open areas and fill up some empty space. The bigger issue I’ve seen was the lack of chronicle saviors mode. It’s most likely a licensing issue because of that mode’s ties to dlc that uses properties from other game companies (I don’t know the specifics of how this works so I’m assuming).
    Thinking on it now that mode was basically $20 since the ps4 version originally retailed at $60 and the switch version $40. Sure the vita version was $40 but that’s how much games sold for consoles like that and the 3DS.

    I just picked this up from GameStop. It was coupled with G-Darius HD, both brand new for $40. I feel like I got my money’s worth.
    To be honest, G-Darius was always one I wanted for the PS1, back in the day, but could never find. Now, I have it.
    These games are a blast. I have a fondness for arcade shmups and bullet hell shooters. I’m not great at them, but ai have great fun. Is t that what it’s all about?
    Anyway, thanks for the review. I’m happy I picked this little collection up. I got 2 Switch titles for $40, and they are filled with shooting fun from classic gaming’s past. How could I complain?

    I do wish this came with G-Darius HD. It just seems to make more sense as part of a compilation than it does as "CS But Worse In Several Meaningful Ways". I love Dariusburst in all forms so I'll be picking it up regardless to have it portable on a system slightly more suited to it than the Vita, but G-Darius would have taken the sting out of losing the CS mode and all the DLC that was added over the years, even if it bumped the price of the packed up to $60.

    so...ideally, of course, not necessarily...one should get CS to play that content but then ignore ACEX in it and buy EX+?
    The problem is clearly the value for the extra content, most people wouldn't spend that much just for the new Event mode.
    Revelation would be more value.
    P.S. If I had gotten people telling me to "pronounce something correctly" I would have called it Dodoria Burst for the rest of the showcase

    • @StudioMudprints
      @StudioMudprints  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's the only real way to get all of the content. Of course at the same time, it's basically then an expensiv e expansion oif sorts, but not out of the realm of feasibility. Consider that the DLC packs were more expensive than ACEX+. Granted, there are all kinds of ships, but less overall content than ACEX+ offers.
      Put another way, if you have CS on PS4, Vita or Steam (or all three, like certain people do, I know a guy) and you happen to have a Switch, it's definitely a game you'd want there too, and you'd get all of the extra content CS didn't have.
      But yes, with that in mind, I'd say go with Revelation.
