I note your spelling of the "s" word. I tend not to have a c in there.
Story for me has always been an irrelevance to me but I see what you mean in your article. A shooter story is best conveyed in the ways you talk about - having it embedded withing the mechanics of the game itself does add a certain something to a game. The DDP series' nonsensical ramblings add to its sense of fun.
I have dipped my toe with Zero Ranger and really enjoy it but I've set it aside as I try and concentrate on 1CC-ing DDP Res 1.5 arcade mode. My PC is up on the blocks at the minute otherwise I'd be back at Zero Ranger after reading this. Its enjoyment is enhanced by my rotatable monitor stand.
I'm also a huge RType Final fan and your writing is nudging me to booting that up instead as I have still a lot left to do in that - not even sure I completed the "final" level with any ship. I played it lot until I unlocked Mr Heli. I really need to get back to it.
