theory has it, that touhou is popular because of assimilation throu relation, touhou is so full of a lot of different cliches with very little originality or twist to them, by themselves that is, The thing is that when thrown together it makes a stew of all flavors to say it in a way, it always has something that appeals to someone at all times, for no one is attracted to touhou by touhou itself, but by an aspect of it, be it such aspect a character, a game, or derivatives. being attracted to such aspect attracts into touhou, and as a result, into touhou fandom.

It sells because it's a nice game with little girls. Take a nice game and add little girls and it'll succeed instantly.

Say, Pacman. Make pacman a blonde girl, make her breasts grow larger as she eats dots and passes levels, make the larger dots turn her into a dickgirl and unlock dickgirl rape scenes with the four ghosts, also in girl form, if you eat them during that period. You can also give the ghosts personalities depending on their nicknames, the orange one can be a klutz while the red one can be an assertive tomboy. Add some inane dialogue in between the levels.

Success!

Touhou games are fun because even in games where they have pretty bullet patterns, the bullets just head for the edge of the screen and disappear.

In touhou, they'll fly back up the the top, explode into smaller bullets, and then those will fly around and shoot more bullets at you.

I disagree with the assertion that Touhou is generic and one-dimensional. If you follow the storylines and ZUN's commentary regarding his music, you'll find that he puts quite a few layers of meaning into the game. That being said, the games themselves are works of art. The danmaku, music and backgrounds work together to create an atmosphere that transcends the sum of its parts.

Secondaryfags are obsessed with the secondary characteristics of Touhou. I mentioned before that the only thing I'm concerned about is the game itself and the series.

Not the doujinshi.

Not the flash movies.

Not the music.

Not the porn.

Not the fanfiction.

Just the games.

If the kind of darkness we're talking about is the classic fairy tale kind where people get eaten and cut apart but it's not really treated like a big deal, it's hard not to see that in Touhou. But a lot of doujin artists like to turn that into silly weepy melodramatic bullshit that really doesn't suit Touhou at all.

Never once have I seen you discuss the game itself. The character personalities and affairs aren't a significant part of the game, they're there for you to shoot. If you have time to notice their sprite cut-ins during gameplay you are most likely playing on Easy.

If you care about the characters more than the gameplay itself, then enjoy your deserved place in the periphery.

I haven't flexed my writing muscles in a while, and there's lots in Touhou to write about in that regard. Most people don't use their imagination enough in concern to the Touhou universe.

But then I find myself lacking an audience. Or so I thought. Well. Perhaps I shall have to reconsider.

Ah, I assure you, I have not forgotten my roots. And I was planning something specific for them as well.

However, the hour grows late. Now is hardly the best of times to be working such craft. But soon, perhaps. It's about time I stopped my self-imposed vacation, anyway.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 12 03:52:34 2009 No.3353523 >>3353502 Wait. I thought you were concerned about Touhou gameplay only. >>3353469 There's one touhou CYOA with Fallout roleplaying elements in it. Didn't get too deep into it, but it was rather intriguing. What are the ones you consider weak?

Stop listening to Arc at all, he's proven time and time again that he hasn't got a clue. I'd claim he's a troll, but he clings so hard to his stupidity you couldn't really define what he's doing as trolling.

What can I say, Touhou's success is a clear mix of simple factors. Just making a all female cast shmup isn't quiet enough on it's own, the game itself attracts such devotion because thematically it all works well together. You get the girls instead of ships, the girls get some basic personality given to them which is further defined and helped by how fitting their themes and bullet hell patterns are with gimmicks often built around their powers. Enough details to get people interested, but not so much everything is answered, so people who like it make their own ideas and the ones with talent make more works.

Basically, ZUN got it just right. The game is far from the best in terms of shmup game play alone, but as a package it works really well.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 12 04:06:34 2009 No.3353583 >>3353562 Ohhh, right, normal stories have proper antagonists. I've been reading touhou shit for too long.

Sadly, that's the furthest I can remember my exposure.

I started out in /b/ like most everyone due to the speed of it and lolradum and was occasionally treated to a Touhou Hijack thread.
Then the new boards got created.
/b/ turned into more of a cesspool to the point I couldn't take it anymore and went to /r9k/. And /r9k/ wasn't the /relationships9k/ that it is now since I stayed there for the month of February. That's when everyone started bawwwing about not having a girlfriend
I got my ass out of there quick

I remember staying in /o/ and /po/ following that for about a month and wound up getting caught in a Touhou Hijack thread.
Wound up googleing it, and saw there was IOSYS, flash vids, Erin and a torrent of the games.
Played PCB for a few minutes. I sucked so I stopped.
Went back a week later to play IN. Guess why I have this trip?

No, you have to do it on 1 credit. This shows that You Care About Silly Girl Shooting. If you aren't willing to try, just delete it and go back to firing up your favorite IOSYS album. But I believe in you.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 12 05:36:34 2009 No.3353935 I watched a McRoll. I loved the music, so I looked for it. After failing a couple of times, I learned it was from EoSD. I got the game and loved it. It all went downhill from there; I'm a high power level touhoufag now.

Anonymous Sat Sep 12 06:17:34 2009 No.3354108

Once you beat one of them, the next step in boosting your power level is to play the PC98 games. You can skip the first 2. They're worth it for the music. And once that's done you can complain with authority about characters never returning, and maybe even develop a pet theory about the silhouette on the cover of TH13 next year.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 12 06:25:34 2009 No.3354123 >>3354105 Me too, I didn't even know it HAD any until C76. It's like the album came and went without any notice.
