Why this board is so dead?

Anonymous 03/28/15 (Sat) 02:11:57 No.31

Because STGs are a niche and there are like 10+ video game boards.

/fighters/ (another niche) gets decent traffic though

STGs are much more niche than fightan games.

I would consider putting my full love of scrolling shooters into this board, but I'm afraid I really must take issue with the completely fucktarded terminology being used to describe them and the board name itself.

Most people serious about the genre do call them STGs.
Shoot 'Em Up/Shmup is a more casual "industry" term.
Plus, STG is aesthetically pleasing, like RPG or RTS.

No, only braindead weeaboos.

It triggers me every time I see it because I'm reminded of how it's an incorrect abbreviation.

But what's incorrect about Shoot Target Game?

Anonymous 07/05/15 (Sun) 23:11:19 No.66

STG is Shuu Tiin Gemu.

Japanese would not be able to pronounce shmup (they would say "shmoop"), let alone any long-winded alternative (e.g. scrolling shooter).

>not calling them STDs

Searching for Shmup and Shoot Em Up doesn't show this board in the results. I think most people would search for Shmup and then give up.
