Radiant Silvergun (PC) - 1CC - Stage 2 Route (12.9 million), 1440p 60fps

I wanted to come back to this game and show that I have grown and gotten better. This is the result...

Ironically I wanted to push this clear out quickly just to get something "on the board" with the new steam port. Then I would pivot to focus on the more-important and prestigious stage 4 route clear... but it has taken me nearly 20 hours of practice to get even this score (which I am not altogether happy with!). There are improvements all across the board with scoring and chaining, but the big thing I've been practicing is the dreaded stage 5 chaining. Unfortunately a dumb death 2/3rds through the stage really handicapped me (and it's annoying I did not get 13 million).

The steam port does not play as well as the Switch version - or even emulating the Saturn original, which I did in this video here:    • Radiant Silvergun (Saturn) - 1CC - St...  
The steam version is locked to 720p, has vsync on by default, and is compromised by a stiff sluggish feeling. Overall a lazy job. "Luckily," some fans who care more about the game than Treasure offers an array of fixes and patches that can at least put this version in parity with some of the others. You can find the patch on this steam forum topic: https://steamcommunity.com/app/245082...

Just follow the instructions above and put the files in your steam commonapps game folder for RSG.

I was a little miffed that the replay doesn't record the ending, so I did a quick and dirty capture of the Saturn arcade ending and grafted it on. Seamless!!!

Overall I say emulating the saturn version on mednefen plays better, looks better, and is more responsive - and you have the benefit of savestates to practice with (extremely important). If you can spend the 30 minutes configuring and learning mednefen at the start, I recommend it. But the steam port isn't horrible - IF you download the community fan patch above. If not, then you're on your own, lol.
