Double Dealing Character has literally just one single tune that i might remember and it is the stage music of the first stage. Every other song in this game sounds like something randomly generated in some "make your own rock hit generator" and the fucking wave sound pisses me off. I think it would be a smart move to stay with the same type of sound he has been doing since 06 because it had it's own charm and would feel retro. Now he is using something that is between retro and just normal music so instead of having the retro sound (i know how pretentious this sounds) it just sounds like he is using a cheap rock generator. Also i have a hard time finding a red thread in these songs all i hear is "some electric guitars here, drums there, a random sound effect here and some brumming here" most of the old songs you could here just a tiny part of the song and almost instantly tell which character theme that song was now i have the feeling that many of these either sound the same or have nothing in them that will make me remember them. This is also why i think that the first stage theme is the only song that is good because it has a clear sound that if i hear it again i will be able to say that "oh i recognize this theme. It's from the first stage in DDC".
Then of course it might be because they are new and haven't been etched into my memory yet but right now the songs in my opinion sounds messy.
Does anyone else feel like these songs are not as recognizeable as the older ones?

HOLY FUCK ZUN WHAT WERE YOU THINKING

The Stage 5 gimmick where the screen flips around and the Stage 6 gimmick where your hitbox fills up half the screen are so, so, so, so, so very fucking stupid. God fucking damn it; I would have had a Normal 1CC on my first try if it weren't for those Goddamn cards draining all my lives and bombs.

The system is fine. It makes sense. People have been saying for years that the old patches are awful (they are) and that everyone is too polite to improve them. Meanwhile the various wikis have better translations (albeit still with some cruft people are too afraid to change), and they're improving all the time. It makes sense in this fast-paced Web 2.0 world we're living in to have "live" translations. Eventually they'll settle on something reasonable.

And for the record, I think fan translations aren't something that can be "crowdsourced" very well. I think the best solution would be to hire a professional translator and let them do their job. But that's not going to happen, so this is the next best alternative. Plus it gets the community involved because the Touhou fandom is one big, happy family.

1. The literal embodiment of "no fun allowed" wants to stir up trouble because people are being happy and no sir we can't have that.
2. But she needs power to actually be a threat instead of getting her shit wrecked on Stage 2 like Parsee, so she tries to find someone with (a) a lot of power and (b) not enough wisdom to use it with discretion.
3. Fortunately for her, Gensokyo is packed to the brim with overly powerful retards, so she goes to the closest idiot with the necessary power, who happens to be a dwarf with some eldritch oni artifact that brought doom to her ancestors and that her entire lineage is sworn never to use.
4. She convinces her to use the thing, which influences various tools, creates civil unrest among the small fry, and makes the main characters' weapons go all wonky. It also awakens a bunch of artifact spirits because you know, tools and all that.

I haven't played any shmups for over a year and still 1CC'd hard, blind and on my first attempt. It was the same shit with TD too.

The past two games have been rather boring and the music was especially unmemorable this time around. ZUN's lost his edge, or this new direction just isn't working for the games. I don't see how Lunatic is going to alleviate how droll things feel besides giving me more bullets to wade through, and to be honest I don't think I can be bothered either; I'd rather play one of the other games.

It doesn't mean shit. It does't add anything to the spell card.

If you remove the screen flip, it's a lame ass attack that's not worthy of being a spellcard. This screen flip is the reason why the 5th stage boss has horribly boring spell cards, because ZUN can't expect you to do some 8-directional dodging with screwed up controls, so he makes them so easy you only need LEFT and RIGHT.

I think part of the problem with DDC's music is whatever instrument set he's using doesn't deliver the melody very well, the hook tends to get drowned out by everything else.

No, it's fucking the opposite. It's really helpful especially for parts where you need to stream or misdirect bullets. But UFOs are constantly producing unnecessary SFX even if you don't want to grab them at the moment.

Also ZUN always try synchronise enemy shooting with the music. Sometimes the shooting SFX even makes the track better. At the same time the constant "uiuiuiui DUNTS" of UFOs is always desynced with the music.

My eye started twitching after having a grind session for 7 hours straight, it was fun, but I could not for the life of me stop shit talking myself. It feels like somebody punched me in the face and spat on me, but it feels so good to play these games even knowing I'm bottom of the barrel shit tier. After seeing literally no improvement during that session, it's quite easy to come to the conclusion that I'm not going to get much better. I'll still try really hard to get better, but it's quite demotivating.

Although I'm not entirely sure if I'm actually enjoying them, or if I'm just deluding myself into thinking I'm enjoying them.

My computer should be able to run 60 th14 at once at capped fps but for some reason it doesn't (with 1 open, obviously).

I don't get any actual slowdown, but I would like to have a stable 60fps for replay purposes (and mostly because I don't like not having a stable fps). Any solutions? Usually I just wait for the vsync patch but I'd like to play this right now and it's annoying.

I don't get how people decide so quickly what they like and don't like. Perhaps when it comes to the enjoyment of the game itself, sure, but things like music for example takes some time to evaluate, right? Some tracks jump straight at you and you love them right away, but just because they don't doesn't mean they're bad.

I can't really say what I feel about the music of the whole game so much yet, but I thought the music from the demo was overall pretty good, and during my play-through of the full version I enjoyed the overall atmosphere. I do think the style is very similar to TGA/NToJ though, rather than TD. I actually think it doesn't sound like TD at all.

Compared to the music, I feel more skeptical towards the new character designs. I'm sure I will grow to like most of them in time though.

Not sure if this would help, and I won't go too much into it.

You may notice a big improvement once you realize what you should focus on with your eyes. Tunnel vision on your character is no good.
There's an example image I can't find, but it goes something like:
>watch the whole screen when little is happening
>switch between the whole screen and your general vicinity in sparse patterns
>switch between your general vicinity and very close to your hitbox for careful maneuvering
Unless carefully maneuvering, you can usually tell your character position from watching the enemies and your own shot. This helped me a lot, but may be obvious.

Sakuya A.

Love her "homing knifes" and her Doubru Bombu and her thigh-highs.

You just have to spend 2 bomb points to clear the screen, auto-collect items if you can't pick them up at the moment (so you can get the 2.0 threshold and get a Life point) and also to feel invulnerable for a while.

And I noticed Sakuya's knifes sometimes get bugged if you hit Sekibanki's flying head with them. They appear at the bottom of the screen and the explosion looks small. Weird.

Because that's where the demo ends, and this is release day for the full game.
Why is it such a hard concept that there's not going to be a translation IMMEDIATELY?

1 heart piece for each 2.0 bonus, 1 guaranteed heart piece for every 5 bonuses. (So you might screw up by getting a 2.0 on the fifth bonus, making you miss out on one extra heart piece)

RTFM before playing, you people. The translations are right there on Touhou wikis. Mattaku~

Final bosses third card is destroying me

>> No.11298782

I like the game, for the most part. It isn't as unbearably slow as the demo, which was what I was worried about.

Sound is mediocre. I miss IN/TD/EoSD ish sound.

Character art isn't cute. Reimu has short hair, and Marisa looks unusually flat.

If you're staying near the bottom of the screen... don't.

i just practiced stage 4, the trick to easily avoid the green laser is to fly across the top of the screen, this leaves the lower part of the screen clean from projectiles.

Nothing. Sakuya is the best Touhou. You are only doing something wrong if you play the others.

Why do the stage 6 stage and stage 6 boss theme have the exact same hook? Kinda lackluster untill the piano runs start and then it gets great.

That said, the stage 5 boss is gonna make for some amazing jazz remixes.

>> No.11299539

Was anyone just a little underwhelmed when the stage 6 boss showed up? I mean compared to 11 where utsuho just had such a presence, or 10 when kanako showed up and was all arrogant with her HUGE onabashira, or however those are spelled.
