    Ok! I finally got it, which caps off around 5 years of trying to get this.
    Now I've beaten every mainline Gradius game (1-5 + Gaiden) as well as a few extras (MSX games, Rebirth, PC Engine version).

    Unlike Gradius 3, slowdown isn't around to help through the Moai stage in Gradius IV, so the rings will quickly overtake you if you aren't powered up enough(hell of a challenge too). I find myself hugging the right side of the screen a lot, gets claustrophobic with all those rings coming at you from different directions at once. Gradius IV has been called the black sheep of the series, to me it is a great black sheep if it is, quite an enjoyable game. Maybe not up to the caliber of Gaiden, but I'll be damned if this game didn't quickly grow on me when I first tried it. It was the one Gradius that I always wanted to play besides Gaiden, played it just prior to Gaiden, own copies of Gradius 3/4 for PS2 (along with Collection on PSP, which also has Gaiden), as well as a legit copy of Gaiden on the PS1.
    Also love this games speed stage, short, sweet, and to the point, a fast ride indeed, but make sure you always have enough speed ups, and always know the best route, or make sure you know how to maneuver through the paths as the stage won't take long to speed you through it.

    • @METAL1ON
      @METAL1ON 6 лет назад +2

      Yeah I always thought the Moai stage on this version was quite aggressive and always bullied me into being at the right hand side of the screen.

    • @Blahblahblah28504
      @Blahblahblah28504 5 лет назад +1

      It honestly felt like a bad idea playing this game directly after playing in my opinion, the best game in the series (Gaiden). Not that I'm saying 4 is bad, but it feels like a slight drop in quality.

    • @Bloodreign1
      @Bloodreign1 4 года назад +1

      Blahblahblah28504
      I often found myself playing both, sometimes 4 after, sometimes before Gaiden, never really felt bad at all. If anything 4 has a better challenge than Gaiden has, though Gaiden is the better game.
      METAL1ON
      Yeah, the Moai in this game are quite aggressive.

  • @KewneRain
    @KewneRain 8 лет назад +6

    Holy crap, you died! That's always something I like to see on an LP run, it means the LPer either messed up but accepted it as just another challenge to overcome, or they felt things were too easy and wanted to make it harder.

    • @Bloodreign1
      @Bloodreign1 3 года назад

      If you die in Gradius, it isn't always on purpose, sometimes it is to drop the games difficulty rank. But it has to be done at the right checkpoints, doing so at the wrong checkpoints leaves the player vulnerable to death after death due to checkpoints placing you where there is a swarm of enemies, and your ship is too underpowered to overcome them.

  • @D2RCR
    @D2RCR 10 лет назад +1

    Also, good effort on loop 2, I think my eyes glazed over just watching it. If it helps, at least the Game Over music is rather cute sounding (it's my favorite Game Over music in the series...of course, I tend to hear it a lot... >_>).

    • @Seahawk0027

  • @METAL1ON

    Dude you get chewed up on this, I always got my butt kicked playing on normal due to the way the adaptive difficulty worked, but you fight really well here. I had more trouble with this than Gradius 3 in the arcades, but that might have more to do with me not liking IV as much as the other games. (Gamestone Gogs)

      At critical health the center lasers will fire very rapidly, creating a dangerous situation at bad angles (see 5:30 of Gradius IV #5 - Late Game Revival Play, More Failure). I was trying to avoid this until I got a good attack angle, unfortunately the missiles forced me into a bad evasion and I was destroyed.

      Even Gaiden feels more like a proper sequel to Gradius 3, despite being called a side story.
