Are the Touhou games worth it? Never played them, just see them posted here sometimes. And there seems to be a new collab with Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis or other games which got me curious.
yes the games are fun, pick them up if you ever get the chance glory to the CCP
>>720219067What's their focus?
>>720218952The one who typed troonhou in these threads also play pso2 so the irony is strong
No one plays it, they just simp over the characters and troon out.
>>720219106Shift to focus
>>720218952I only played the fan games. The RPG ones are pretty good.
>>720219106bootlet hellsthe spin off games vary from fighting games to a different style of bootlet hells but the main series is bullet hellsthey range from easy to medium in terms of difficulty so if you have never played one before it isnt too hard to get into it
What's with the pizza poster targeting touhou threads?
>>720219294schizophrenia and got touched inappropriately by a touhou fan some years back or whatever
>>720219294they're from the pso2 /vg/ thread
>>720219292>>720219276Don't shit on me please but what is a bootlet hell?
>>720218952If the creator can't be bothered to put in effort into his own indie series, what makes you think it will be worth playing?
>>720218952They're darn good shmups. I'm not sure I like the recent trend of having to collect power up items in order to have the sort of damage output you used to have by default.
>>720219294Gorilla /jp/hu shill I vill never post in the /diap/hu no matter how much child porn is posted you can't make me
>>720219407i was joking, bullet hells or shumps or even curtain fighters are your arcade games where you controll a small little dude or plane and dodge a bunch of bullets . try looking at some gameplay of touhou 6-7 to get a feel for if these games are for you
>>720219659Thank you for explaining. Genuinely didn't know
>>720218952Just pirate touhou 6, press shift for slow movement and you'll know in like 20 minutes whether you're going to play 4000 hours or never touch it again. The games are great if you're into the genre, but people who are REALLY into the genre tend to start to resent its popularity.If you just like the characters and end up not liking the game then there's hundreds of decent indie games that use the setting. The games don't have a strong narrative focus so it'll typically be fine to jump into a random game knowing nothing about the setting. It's something I wish I could do again tbdesu
>>720218952Yes start with Touhou 6 Embodiment of Scarlet Devilhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIZ12EQ2SFg
Having a complex story isn't unusual for bullet hell games but Touhou stands out by weaving just enough narrative into the gameplay to keep players intrigued. In contrast, Ikaruga actually has a surprisingly deep story yet it's almost completely absent from the gameplay itself. I only discovered that Ikaruga was more than an excuse plot by reading its Wikipedia page and the most detailed explanation I could find..
>>720218952Bretty fun but autistic to setup.
>>720219784>>720219765Are these girls vampires or some type of?The way I first heard about the game was because of a guy on /x/ who researched vampires IRL and seemed to be obsessed with a video game character called Remilia.
Who posts CP? Feds? Trannies? Shitskins? Can't have a comfy Cirno thread.
>>720219874as of now? not at all, i would go to say that as of now it is piss easy to play these games, just download the most up to date torrent from nyaa (https://nyaa.si/view/1743411) comes with everything you need
Start with 15, the danmaku patterns are simple and easy to understand! Fun! (Don’t do this)
>>720219879Remilia is a vampire. Cirno is a fairy. Reimu is a human
>>72022007915 gave my turbo AIDS
>>720219879Most of them are fairies, youkai, or human iirc.Remilia Scarlet and Flandre Scarlet are vampire sisters.
>>720220069actually i say this but it dosent have 20
>>720220054Other chans had a persistent issue with the crap until they rangebanned Israel. Apparently the stuff is legal there
CIRNO WON
>>720220352Oy fucking vey!
>>720220352Cool it with the antisemitic remarks.
>>720220440Won what... exactly? :3
>>720220764I didn't think you would fall this low man
>>720220764Niggerfaggot.
Thanks /v/I decided to become a TOUHOU speedrunner...Beating this guy first:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPPqSsSZP8g
>>720218952The games arent for everyone but they have really good musichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIop055eJhUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY_KORpQPdI
What do the numbers mean?
>>720220918When did you first find out you were autistic?
>>720220918progamer tip: while the homing shot in 6 (shot type A) is good for beginners, the needleshot (shot type B) for reimu does like a trillion damage so if you feel you cant beat the game witht he homing shot try needle shot
>>720220951first one is a banger
>>720221050Thanks anon with this tip I feel it inside my heart I WILL become the next best speed runner.>>720221025Today.
If the jannies wanted to win our favor for once they could post the IPs of the "people" spamming CP. Just to confirm suspicions that theyre Israeli or Indian.
>>720221124You've seen it with these evader tools from the gay furries they are just using residential home IPs from all over the world through paid proxy services that's why they can't be stopped or otherwise thousand of innocent people would get permabanned too.
>>720220352Explains why so many political elites in the US love Israel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZImkylMAYAIs this game dead?
>>720218952Yeah, they're good gamesfun shmupsgood musicgreat fangamescute fanart
>>720218952Meira balls
>>720221018Picrel>>720221124If it's actually state actors or internet savvy spammers they'd be using a rotating proxy of residential IPs anyways
>>720221393but her name is not Meira BALLS...
>>720221398>>720221374CUTE
>>720221337>100gblol
>>720221398Is it true?
>>720219874Most of the games are available on Steam now. Even Shoot the Bullet and Great Fairy War. They almost never go on sale though - the sale they had when TH20 came out was the first time I'd ever seen it happen. Imo $15 is a decent price for the hours of play you can get out of each title. Thcrap is easy to find and available from websites that won't give your computer AIDS. Just point it at the install directory and it will translate the games for you
>>720221585No, it's the opposite actually. Remilia is a social whore while Flandre is a loser who stays in the basement all day doing nothing.
Stop it please...
>>720221884Remilia won.
>>720221857Seems like you're coping.I need to buy a fumo, and I don't want it to be some whore.
>>720221018she's a whore a bitch a slut shes fucked the entire population xddd

Is Touhou only for men? Are there any male characters that are relevant?Thinking about gifting my sister (straight female) a niche game but all I see is cute girls.
>>720222424Topical!
>>720218952>there seems to be a new collab with Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesiswhys it only shit games that get touhou collabsalso happy cirno day
>>720222581Next collab will be with God of War.
>>720222465There's Rinnosuke, but girls should like cute girls so it doesn't matter.
To me Touhou is just this and this game alone it`s as far as I`m willing to go into this shit serieshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/851100/Touhou_Luna_Nights/
>>720222626
How come ZUN doesn't sue all these Touhou knock off games?
>>720222678>Overwhelmingly Positive 4500+I kneel.
>>720222465It has the sexiest male character in fiction "Genji"
>>720222178>copingEh, no. You should play the games or read the manga. Remilia is the sociable sister, Flandre is autistic and would rather stay at home than socialise.
>>720222807They pay him in exposure
>>720222624thats even worse, my point still stands; only shitty games get touhou collabs
>>720222862... This TURTLE?
Why did you mention Goonji? now I have to goon for 6 hours again
Hello everyone I just jizzed in my pants at the thought of genjii fuuuuuuark
>>720222678I like https://store.steampowered.com/app/1955830/Touhou_Hero_of_Ice_Fairy/
>genji
>>720223243>>720223161>>720223148I never played the games and somehow expected a good-looking young man based on the name so imagine my "HAPPINESS" seeing it's a turtle.
amazing thread
>>720223338The embodiment of sex
>>720223171Imagine being an ice fairy instead of a vampire queen..
>>720222807>He doesn't knowtouhou became viral because zun himself gave everyone free pass to use the IP unless they were a company
>>720223171It's a blast to play, and dodging bullets is thrilling. Recommended for fans of Eastern-style games or bullet-hell games, but beware if you're not very good at it...
Why are amerisharts deranged pedos ? maybe we should nuke them
wow so cool
The fandom is nucking futs, the characters are charming and the setting is fascinating.
>>720223068>that thumbnailwhat drives warcraft autists into becoming touhou autists as well? there was also that nuked channel doing world first solos for warcraft raids and highly autistic 2hu challenges like 90fps double bullet density lunatic challenges or turning all bullets into large black boxes or something (i forgot the specifics since they nuked their channel after a long time ago)
>>720224080huh I'm this guy though you fucking retard
Terrible thread for Cirno day, STUPID BAKAS
>>720224212You recognized him as a Warcraft autist?
>>720224418his recent videos are just world of warcraft. as for the other person im trying to find his/her nuked touhou videos but all i'm getting is their warcraft world records with 2hu music playing in the background
just had sex with narumi
>>720225069She was finally granted the gift of life, but she's a NEET!? What a shame! I have to do something to get her motivated to see the rest of the world!
>>720225136thisnarumi just lazes around on her big butt all day and eat pizza and other tasty snacks shes gunna get plump!
>>720218952Why does Touhou have such a large online fanbase worldwide?
>>720225601Because it’s basically infinite waifus + banger music with just enough lore to fuel endless headcanons. ZUN made a sandbox and the fanbase turned it into an entire culture.
>>720225601A girl for nearly every preference
>>720226213is there a violent tsundere?
>>720225601Genji + some random whores that only 3 autists care about

I simply adore her, fellas.
They have great characters and the interactions between them are greatThey are top-tier when it comes to shmupsYes, if you like bullet hell games and cute grills, they are worth it
>>720218952>Touhou Project x PSO2>post-NGSFuck, if only NGS didn't happen.
>basedbooru
>>720228095Now translate that for me please, what do you mean?
>>720219249sensible kek
>>720228179Phantasy Star Online 2, they updated and ruined the game with New Genesis (NGS) and it's killed me my drive in ever wanting to play it again.
>>720228302:(
i dont want pizza of the sea
>>720221468Yeah. Her name is Meira Hakurei.
>>720218952i'm playing touhou koumakyou now, i've been playing it on and off for a month by now, maybe an hour every other day or so. managed to 3cc it, but no 1cc yet.it's pretty fun, it's literally my first danmaku and i can feel i'm a shitter, but at the same time i'm improving, so it's nicegive it a try.
>>720228302You can blame Daiki Hamazaki. Sega refuses to fire this guy even though Japan hates him more than America and Europe.
>>720228549EoSD is a brutal first pick, so the fact you're improving steadily means you'll probably hit that 1cc sooner than you think.
>>720218952i think they're fun, but i suck cock at shump. so i prefer fanmade games. touhoumon rom hacks and puppet play/shard of dreams is my favorite. i want pache to sit on my face.
>>720228557>director for NGS>NGS is 4 years old nowchrist time has passed since I quit, to think one man behind it all has made PSO2 as shit as it is to this day
>>720228302How can anyone care about that when it was japan only for like a decade, making it like 20 years between pso and the sequel?
who is THE TOEhoe?
Gentlemen I think we are due for another photo game.With a good protagonist
>>720229054It's time...
>>720228818He was the guy behind episode 4&5 in pso2. Then he got promoted to director for NGS. Then he got promoted again to series director. This guy is nepo baby to the max because he fucked up 4 times and still got promoted twice.
>>720228927The game has had a English patch since closed beta
>>720229260Doesn't matter, it was always a WoW clone instead of a pso sequel anyway.
>>720228429chocolate covered raisinsaero fighters 2capriciosa
>>720229318Who cares about your irrelevant shit?PSO2 had more players and money than FFXIV for some years then Daiki happened.
>>720229297Yep. I send every link posted ITT to the catbox admin (at admin@catbox.moe) and urged him to involve the authorities.
>>720228637sure hope so, i trained a bit of stage 4, managed to beat it whole with losing only one life, which is an achievement for mealso shibayan arranges of patchouli theme are god tier, can't get tired of themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2SwqSzk-WA
>>720229404>PSO2 had more players and money than FFXIVI don't really care the relative expenditures of zipperheads from china and/or korea on their free-to-play WoWclones, I'm just saying that PSO for dreamcube/gamecast was not the same gay boring tap 1-9 on your keyboard game as those.
>>720218952SLUTmu
>_p1
>>720228435Hakurei means graceful not BALLS!
>>720218952No they aren't I just read Touhou yuri manga and goon to Touhou yuri (futa optional) hentai
>>720230647Boring. I'd rather play the game.
why did zun name her that
>>720219708Genuinely how young are you? Bullet hells were THE genre for a long time
>>720230993They've always been niche, and I myself ignored touhou games on /b/ for over a decade before delving into the madness.
>>720231276Just like you won't escape the authorities forever. Ironic. :^)
What did he mean by that?
>>720218952Sega is a deadazz company
>>720231110Bullet hells were huge in the late 80s early 90s
>>720231552So people who played bullet hells are now 30-40...
>>720231552they were mildly competitive with beat'em ups and donkey kong in arcades for like 5 years max, they were never very popular on home consoles japan has always liked them though there are many good shmups on sega consoles.
>he's still going
>>720231693Can confirm, am 33 now
>>720231836Love the word SHMUPS
>>720231970honestly impressed mods didn't just nuke the thread like they usually do. 3 fucking hours

Would a Touhou MMO collab be possible?
>>720232481surely they have with one at some point
>>720232481That sounds insanely boring.
>>720232813NEW WORLD OF WARCRAFT RACE

>>720233640Try 7 or 8 then.
>>720233385Mental illness. Many such cases
>>720233640>>7202337017 is harder than 6But 8 is fine as the bullets are slower

Did you know Tewi has a vagina?
>>720234792>Cross bullet patterns>YukarinopeDespite the barrier bonus the patterns themselves are not easy
>>720232416honestly, is a good thread, is seems like /v/hu is finally dead and rotting
>>720235175YUUUUUUP YUUUUUUP YUUUUUP
is there any actual strat in this game, or should i just get good at dodging? right now i am trying to get through touhou SDM, but i get filtered by meiling, i can beat her, but she usually takes 1 or 2 lives and i need bombs
>>720232843Another...?
>>720235554The ccp can be hard yes but if you are struggling there I think patchy might be a bigger issue, honestly its really is as simple as "git gud lol" and learning how dodge better and how to have better usage of your bombs/lives. Honestly I think eosd is a little too hard for newbies, if you find yourself not making progress 7 is a much more forgiving game, you get to see your hitbox (which is seriously a world of difference) and have a free get out of jail free card with the cherry boarder mechanic, it's where I got my first normal 1cc and than I went back to eosd after thay
>>7202350867 has swastikas.
>>720218952I only play the fan games. Play megamari.
>>720236413>不死「徐福時空」>Deathless "Xu Fu's Dimension" 8 does too
>>720236083>I think patchy might be a bigger issuepatchouly is a bit easier somehow, though it is still really hard, and thanks i think i will check 7 to have a change of pace
>>720235554in normal, just stay on the lower end of the screen, keep shooting and >DODGE!For higher difficulties there are some tactics but you have to look for them
I love KeikiBut I cannot drawI am sorry
>>720235554meiling is stage 3? midstage when she does georgeous sweet flower just move to the bottom and move very little while focused, the pattern is pretty easy. then at the end, stay at the bottom for the start and the rainbow wind chime. honestly the chime looks pretty scary but it has large gaps so it's not super hard, just stay at the bottom, move very little. colorful rain and typhoon is honestly down to luck, the pattern is super random so just bomb it if you feel threathened, try to dodge it as much as possible and bomb if you see you can't make it.and yes there's a ton of difference between just starting out and knowing the patterns.
>>720235554Dodge smarter, not harder.An easy enough example to spot but that beginners may still fall for is Cirno's 1st non (pic related). That shit is aimed, so why would you bother trying to macrododge around & inside the bullets?Meiling is a bit on the bullet vomit so there's no shame in dropping 1 or 2 bombs on her, you can afford them. Stage 4 once routed shouldn't give you too much trouble, Patchy varies based on shot types but at her easiest she's pretty readable.The more you play, the more fundamentals you build, which lead to pattern recognition & quicker adaptation. The next 2 games are good at teaching how to deal with density and the pressure and initial fear factor in a "safe" environment (Slow, static patterns). EoSD is arguably closer to its PC98 predecessor Mystic Square, with a bit more micrododging.
>>720235175I don't care for the other thread being deleted and some nitwit making one of a thousand daily "I'm a retarded newfag, spoonfeed me" threads. These are getting quite old.
