"See ya, pal!" "Wait, you're not gonna help me out here?" "Nah! I'm good!" "But don't you want to know-" "Ah, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough." "Man, I can be a real dick, sometimes."
I have cheated in this game from my PC using PS2 emulator from my PC which I did 8-9 years ago ☺ But before I run the game I first run a program called codebreaker to use Gradius V some of its cheats. But I don't think the person playing the game in this videoclip is cheating. Have you played this game for years from the easy levels to harder levels etc you have master it well I think. There are peoples who can play games very well which levels is very hard and difficult without dying, when they know what to do in a game and each levels ☺
this one,perfect cherry blossom,R-Type,strikers 1945 plus and many more put your concentration skills to the fucking limit once you got the hang of it you just can't stop...it's like a training to be the best I love shoot 'em ups!
This ending is one of the best I've seen. I loved this game despite never having enough skill to finish it. I used to play for hours. I never got past stage six, heh. Great game, great gameplay. :)
Only slows at boss deaths, but I like how it does that because it makes the explosions more dramatic and cool looking. It makes your lasers like...diffuse apart. It's so cool. XD
your partner sounded very calm when you left him behind in that exploding brain tunnel at the start. " okay, good luck" *is left behind* *tunnel explodes*
Elektronix but when will PS4 get one? Or a new CONTRA? I bought PS3 on Black Friday JUST FOR THIS GAME. I just beat it after using 7 continues. Awesome game but way too fucking hard on the first go.
I would love an HD version of this, or better yet, finish a full fledged Gradius VI. I’m hoping R-Type Final 2 sells so well it brings a resurgence of horizontal scrolling shooters with actual levels, instead of vertical bullet hell games everyone likes these days.
This is what Gradius/Nemesis should have always been!! Treasure made this game a pure bullet hell game with a lot of memorisation required! Loved every minute of it!! And having played the Sh*t out of this game....there are no cheats used here!!! Well played T-0815!!!
This is a Nightmare. I know the TREASURE team worked with KONAMI on this, and it shows. The worst thing, is the thought of one hit and you start with Nothing.
Just got this in the post today, reminds me a great deal of the SNES version. Played it for just under two hours but felt as if I'd been playing for a lot less. Going to dust down my ps2 this weekend for a long game but at the moment on my ps3. Also there's no way to create a custom weapon set like the snes is there? Also great gameplay, I didn't want to see spoilers but there were some very close moments. Whoever was playing has some nice reactions.
Well played -- you certainly had a couple of close calls there! =) I'm a fighter-game (e.g., Street Fighter) and first-person shooter player myself so props to you for completing this game.
@Quadraxis14 On the plus side, Gradius V generally makes it easier to recover with 4 options around, and a much smaller hitbox. You can get by decently with just a few speedups at the very least compared to other games in the series, not to mention enemies that drop powerups are a bit more common relative to the rest of the series.
This game was out of control. 2-D shooting at its finest. It's such a pity that gamers today don't have the attention span for such masterpieces, thus we haven't gotten a Gradius VI. Also, while I do love Ikaruga, why the hell did we get that in HD, but not this? The very thought makes me weep inside.
I love that Point in Zone of Enders 2. Where you fight Leo who is piloting the Vic Viper. A true copy of the Gradius. And it will kick your ass quickly on normal and hard. A simi-dub version of old school Gradius music plays as Vic kicks your ass and teaches you old school is still the best school.
The Vic Viper's got a weird hitbox. I thought for sure you were a goner several times, especially in the asteroid field, but your ship made it out unscathed even though it overlapped some of the rocks.
+Vistico93 It was developed by Treasures, the company behind Radiant Silvergun. Anyway, they made the hitbox super small, like a couple of pixel, like bullet hell shooters.
Speaking of Raiden II, it is my all time favorite shmups. I'm no too accustomed to modern bullet hell shmups, though I still play. I wished they made shmups like the old days, like Einhander and R-Type Delta. Love those games to death.
This is such a cool and fantastic shoot ’em up game!!! 😊😊😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I’m so glad my dad gave me this game when it came out, ’cause otherwise, I would’ve never known about this game. 😊😊😊 And the boss fights in this game is the best thing I know in this game. They are so damn fun. 😊🎮😎 _________________________________________ I have the PAL version of this game, since I live in Sweden, and then there are two disadvantages with this game: 1. There are 256 loops to unlock, and you cannot save the progress before you exit the game, nor does the game autosave, nor can you load game and continue where you stopped last time. 2. You cannot turn off the background music. Is it the same with the NTSC version? _________________________________________ And the ending of this game is so cool. Especially the part between 1:07:42-1:09:45 - That part is so memorable. It gives me such cozy feelings in my face, heart and stomach. 😎🥰😇 1. I wonder who is speaking between 1:07:46 and 1:08:10. Is it the brain that explodes? If not, who? However, that voice gives me such cozy feelings in my face, heart and stomach. 😎🥰😇 2. After the brain explodes, it’s so cool and cozy to sit in the space ship that Vic Viper drives, and fly out of the exploding space station (or what you should call it), and then watch the space station explode. 3. I’m just curious - in my PAL version of this game, the brain explodes 2,5 seconds after it says ”eternal”. Is this the NTSC version of this game? If so/If not, why does it explode 0,5 seconds after the word ”eternal”? I think that sequence of this game is more cool if the brain explodes 2,5 seconds after the word ”eternal”. _________________________________________
Having played this myself I can say you do not go all the way through this game without a single death unless you know it very well and know what is coming.
man, you're good! i can't do that crap not to mention staying alive for that long. Is that on a hard level or normal? either way, you're very good and i would love to learn how play as good as you.
Hello my friend @Hemant Samtani ... i think the same whenever i still watch this video! this guy must sleep with the game as a pillow! ... i love Lament of Innocence from Castlevania too! but i play most often Curse of Darkness! is a very emotive game just like Lament of Innocence! :D
+Momentousmario Because R-Type, Gradius, and Life Force are all part of the same series. (R-Type was first; Gradius and Life Force are both sequels/spin-offs.)
@Phlebiax I agree with you about cheats are not allowed for these longplays. However, how can you explain 35:17 ? that asteroid clearly passed through the ship and it did not have shields! Unless there is a bug with the emu the only explanation I found is cheating. If somebody knows how that is possible without cheats please explain me
@stringanime That's always been the trick to Gradius I think; you either go big or go home, because the second you lose all those awesome power ups, you're no longer the one-man army needed to win the war, and the chances of getting back to that point can be pretty slim, especially if you're mid-level. It's the frustrating truth, but this is one damn awesome shoot em up! Especially when you play with a friend (though I tend to game over even more quickly with a friend XD)
I just downloaded this game on PSN for my PS3, and it is way different. Are there different play modes with different levels, or are there secret levels or something?

This game is awesome. I like how two Vic Vipers from different time periods kicked butt together. It's like Sonic Generations but 7 years early.
And the gameplay on stage 2 is getting recorded and played on that final level. That is awesome for me.
Nearly 20 years after the release of GRADIUS V, this is still a true masterpiece of a shoot em up game.
Awesome to the max! I suck at Gradius, but I love to watch someone that good playing it.
Gradius V is like "DARK SOULS of Shoot em up" games.
I like how they turned all this stuff into Yugioh cards.
Hahah final boss, "I'm outta here, good luck."
THANKS A LOT BUDDY :D
"See ya, pal!"
"Wait, you're not gonna help me out here?"
"Nah! I'm good!"
"But don't you want to know-"
"Ah, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough."
"Man, I can be a real dick, sometimes."
You too.
Nunca vi um jogo com esse grau de dificuldade tão elevado 😥
PARABÉNS 👏👏👏
HOW IN THE EVER LOVING F******%K DID YOU GET THROUGH ALL THAT SH******T WITHOUT GETTING KILLED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB !!!!
Magic.
Its called cheating 😉
It’s called not having a life outside of this
I have cheated in this game from my PC using PS2 emulator from my PC which I did 8-9 years ago ☺ But before I run the game I first run a program called codebreaker to use Gradius V some of its cheats.

@@poepeter8394bro he's not cheating man
This shmup is pure gold! A must have on PS2
Gradius V turned 20 years old this year.
this one,perfect cherry blossom,R-Type,strikers 1945 plus and many more put your concentration skills to the fucking limit
once you got the hang of it you just can't stop...it's like a training to be the best
I love shoot 'em ups!
Gradius and Life Force two of greatest konami games of ever
these are some of the most beautiful games ever made.
the backgrounds of this game are AMAZING
I would have never beaten this game had I had it. I applaud T-0815 for this gameplay. This series never was a piece of cake.
Wow this looks amazing. I am sooooo glad i still have my PS2 console
It's absolutely amazing, I need to play it
thanks for posting, I really appreciate your job
You are the greatest I have ever seen. That was amazing. You have the reflexes of a cat. I wish I was like you.
greatest gradius game ever made....this needs to come out on steam
Aww I always wanted to see this ending. Today, finally!! Thank you ~
This ending is one of the best I've seen. I loved this game despite never having enough skill to finish it. I used to play for hours. I never got past stage six, heh.
Great game, great gameplay. :)
Stage 6? Stage 1 looks impossible… that thing is nuts. I thought R-Type was hard…
i also can’t get past stage 6 despite instantly reviving when killed.
dam these old school games were insanely hard lol
THATS THE BEST GRADIUS I EVER SEEN
Only slows at boss deaths, but I like how it does that because it makes the explosions more dramatic and cool looking. It makes your lasers like...diffuse apart. It's so cool. XD
Have this game right here for the PS2, going to give it a blast again after seeing this video. Classic.
I didn't remember how long I was holding my breath while watching this longplay!. Thumbs up indeed!
I've seen a lot of shooters done by you guys, but this one was easily the most intense. Holy crap that was awesome!
I would have lost at the 1st stage! lolll
your partner sounded very calm when you left him behind in that exploding brain tunnel at the start.
" okay, good luck" *is left behind* *tunnel explodes*
very cool game. had me on so many memories I had played this game on PS2 system.
Yikes! The sound it really bit crunched x_x
The best Gradius game ever?
Elektronix but when will PS4 get one?
Or a new CONTRA?
I bought PS3 on Black Friday JUST FOR THIS GAME.
I just beat it after using 7 continues.
Awesome game but way too fucking hard on the first go.
I would love an HD version of this, or better yet, finish a full fledged Gradius VI.
I’m hoping R-Type Final 2 sells so well it brings a resurgence of horizontal scrolling shooters with actual levels, instead of vertical bullet hell games everyone likes these days.
This game is hard as hell. Good gameplay. The last Gradius game
it's insane this game, i love it
You have one more follower
This is what Gradius/Nemesis should have always been!! Treasure made this game a pure bullet hell game with a lot of memorisation required! Loved every minute of it!!
And having played the Sh*t out of this game....there are no cheats used here!!!
Well played T-0815!!!
the incredible game from 2006
I sure hope Konami makes a Gradius 6. I have been hearing rumors of a fully 3D Gradius in the works.
This is a Nightmare. I know the TREASURE team worked with KONAMI on this, and it shows. The worst thing, is the thought of one hit and you start with Nothing.
@A3000K Gradius V was developed under contract by Treasure in partnership with Konami. Konami is the publisher
This is my favorite shooter of all time.
Uploading a video of a game with music by Hitoshi Sakimoto, and the sound quality being THIS fucked up, should be a human rights violation.
stripedhyenuh Yea what the fuck was wrong with the audio here?
The person playing was using an emulator and ps2 emulation wasnt that good in 2010. They should really have someone replay it and reupload.
Starting at 24:40, you can see the process by which a proctologist removes colon cysts.
24:40
@boostmeup Like many games developed by Treasure, the ship has a super small hitbox. That's why the ship didn't die in many of the encounters.
I never could figure out why there was this seemingly gigantic disembodied digestive tract floating out in space somewhere.
This has too be one of the best gamers- the time it must have taken to get this good shows true dedication. :)
Just got this in the post today, reminds me a great deal of the SNES version. Played it for just under two hours but felt as if I'd been playing for a lot less.
Going to dust down my ps2 this weekend for a long game but at the moment on my ps3. Also there's no way to create a custom weapon set like the snes is there?
Also great gameplay, I didn't want to see spoilers but there were some very close moments. Whoever was playing has some nice reactions.
Well played -- you certainly had a couple of close calls there! =) I'm a fighter-game (e.g., Street Fighter) and first-person shooter player myself so props to you for completing this game.
You sir deserve a huge thumb up :O Great skills!
That is what determination can achieve
I do hope the future Gradius series (like maybe Gradius VII and more) will not become a first person shooter and third person shooter.
They already did that--it was called Solar Assault, and it was terrible.
it is not terrible....

Heh, I guess you're right about that. I too would love to see the non TAS longplays. Time is definitely a factor we could all use more of.
Sensacional! Eu amava este jogo. É uma pena que a dificuldade do jogo era absurda para a minha infancia.
35:13 ?? The player often approaches situations in a seemingly (?) unskilled manner for Gradius playing. Is this a TAS replay?
@Quadraxis14

You can get by decently with just a few speedups at the very least compared to other games in the series, not to mention enemies that drop powerups are a bit more common relative to the rest of the series.

Alucinante para su tiempo!!!!
What?! No Moai level?! Awww... This was such a good Gradius game... but then they forgot to add in a Moai level! Aw, well, good playing all the same.
The first boss (the things on the wall spewing rings) are the closest thing to Moai in this Gradius.
That's a good thing,i hate those Moai
the green liquid part was Genious
the guy who tought of that deserves a Novel price
I loved that time travel twist.
The Vic Viper's got a weird hitbox. I thought for sure you were a goner several times, especially in the asteroid field, but your ship made it out unscathed even though it overlapped some of the rocks.
+Vistico93 It was developed by Treasures, the company behind Radiant Silvergun. Anyway, they made the hitbox super small, like a couple of pixel, like bullet hell shooters.
I'm used to the old-school shooters like Raiden II where the entire ship was the hitbox so seeing modern shooters can be a bit of surreal experience.
Speaking of Raiden II, it is my all time favorite shmups. I'm no too accustomed to modern bullet hell shmups, though I still play. I wished they made shmups like the old days, like Einhander and R-Type Delta. Love those games to death.
+Vistico93 I think he has a force field powerup. The "?" on the last box.
have you ever played Saint Dragon, wahta agame
It's time for Gradius VI surely now? Or how about Axelay 2? :)
This is such a cool and fantastic shoot ’em up game!!! 😊😊😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’m so glad my dad gave me this game when it came out, ’cause otherwise, I would’ve never known about this game. 😊😊😊

Dude I grew up and saw shit like this in the arcades but never knew what it was called. I wish I would have played this!
This is how Gradius should look. When is the next one coming out?
That bit where the ship is tilting and the goo...thats just torture
The irony, Venom gets defeated by the space fighter he helped the Gradians design...
Having played this myself I can say you do not go all the way through this game without a single death unless you know it very well and know what is coming.
THIS GUY IS A MASTER AT GRADIUS
THE BOSS IS ALWAYS SOME CRAZY TRANSFORMER
Best PS2 shooter - ever.
Damn!! you're a master my friend! i can't pass off level 6!!! i defeated Castlevania games but his one is SO HARD for me!!!
12.16 That music sounds exactly like the NES game Life Force. Did Life Force become the Gradius franchise?
This is a very great game.
5:40 Boss 1: Claw
man, you're good! i can't do that crap not to mention staying alive for that long. Is that on a hard level or normal? either way, you're very good and i would love to learn how play as good as you.
he kept it at normal...you can see what difficulty he is at at the very beginning when he goes into the options.
This game looks ridiculously difficult.
it is difficult, not even i can do what he does.
It is dificult, nearly impssible....All this games lines are challenging...
Even the first game is hard
but it mentioned dat this is the easiest gradius game ever....
The secret to be good in this game is you only have to watch your space ship.. not everywhere in screen.
lol man, i think to play this game, do you have a sharingan nv 3 to complete, :D
umbeliveble skill man, congratulations!
great performance! i enjoyed watching this :)
Hello my friend @Hemant Samtani ... i think the same whenever i still watch this video! this guy must sleep with the game as a pillow! ... i love Lament of Innocence from Castlevania too! but i play most often Curse of Darkness! is a very emotive game just like Lament of Innocence! :D
Why do R-Type and Gradius both have you going inside a giant alien?!
why not??
+Momentousmario Because R-Type, Gradius, and Life Force are all part of the same series. (R-Type was first; Gradius and Life Force are both sequels/spin-offs.)
@@SpearM3064 um...R-Type is Not Part of the Gradius Series...its a completly different thing....
If Gradius was directed by Zack Snyder:
best graphic game

I don't know how the hell I ever beat this game...forgot how incredibly hard it is! Still glad to own it though! :)
That would probably explain why. X) Hey did you know, I'm making my Gradius 6 ideas to send to Konami? :)
I'd highly doubt that will ever happen, knowing Konami's reputation nowadays.
@@jahmirwhite7807 Yeah, and I gave up on the ideas anyway.

Nothing quite like seeing yourself appear from the future to help you kick some ass.
You know shit's gonna get real then.

Now this is some solid game play! Good job T!!
Did this have a record for things blowing up?
Is is this Gradius unforgiving from dying once as the older games?
"let's create a time warp"
ok.
i remember when i played at the first on arcade game... good old time.
Gradius V respect well the univers of original one...
I just downloaded this game on PSN for my PS3, and it is way different. Are there different play modes with different levels, or are there secret levels or something?
