I got into Touhou after it got popular (on Nicodou) I admit, but it's introduced me to the genre of shooting games which has actually turned out to be pretty fun. I think people who don't have interest in the shooting games should still try them out, not just to get people to stop calling you a "secondary," but also because shooting games are a lot of fun.

I'd recommend starting with Perfect Cherry Blossom and working your way up. If you don't like it, then try Mountain of Faith or Subterranean Animism if it's too hard or too easy, respectively. Don't play on Easy mode unless you've given a sustained and honest effort on Normal - you're only as good as you let yourself be. Try to play all of the games, as they're all unique in one way or another.

From there, just play as you see fit. They're games.

I usually recommend starting with PCB on normal.

Play until you can get to the Prismriver Sisters without continuing.

Then switch to Imperishable Night.

PCB is great for learning the basics, but there's a gigantic difficulty spike from stage 4 on. Imperishable Night is much easier, but you can get some bad habits from it. Once you've established good habits with PCB, you should be able to beat IN relatively easy.

After that, it's up to you.

I do, when I'm not feeling particularly lazy (therefore, very rarely). However, since I tend to suck and not have much self-confidence, I always play on Normal. Fuck Easy. Hard is pretty cool, but I always feel I'm not prepared for it yet.

>> No.4819606

Problem with Touhou for me is that I have to be in the mood to play it. As in I have to be in a good mind state and the house quiet so I can concentrate with the game. That is not always the case so I don't get to do a lot of hard/lunatic runs. Besides that I feel my skill going down the more I die. For example let's say I start a hard run, and die on the second stage. "Fuck that, restarting". Next run chances are I would die on the first stage. From there on it would be just grinding the first stages until I manage a good run and my mind finally focus. My first SA clear was like that.

Besides all that though I managed to clear all the games (Windows) on normal, EoSD, PCB, IN on hard and done all the extras. I've been trying UFO hard since the game came out, and the reason why I kinda stopped playing was because of a certain run 3 months ago, I shit you not I lost my last fucking live in the last fucking second of the game. Byakuren was dying (that explosion animation) and I got hit, gaining the game over. Ever since I just haven't had the motivation, although I've been playing a bit of Double Spoiler.

Anyway, I am on the look out for PoFV players, add me on steam if you are interested, my id is sibilla8. Or if you want just to chat about the game and the spellcards that is fine too.

I don't play too much Touhou but I play similar games. I don't really like the scoring system in most Touhou games, so I don't get too much enjoyment from long periods of play. I notice a lot of Touhou players who don't give a shit about score--I think that's throwing out half the game, but to each his own I guess. If you like the games I'd suggest picking up Mushi Futari on the 360. It's not the player-hating rape-fest that some people claim it to be, unless you're playing Ultra which is only one of the million different modes. If you're one of those people who doesn't even look at their score counter in Touhou, try it, it will teach you to love your score counter.

I've learned to like the system of the Touhou games, SA and PCB are pretty fun to do score runs. The only game that I really dislike in terms of score is UFO since you either play it for survival or you play for score. That is bullshit, I don't have the skill to go throughout the entire game with only the starting lives plus the few others you get normally without the red UFOs.

As far as danmaku games go, Touhou is the only one I play. I'd like to try others, but most of them are for consoles, and I can barely control the character/ship with a controller, I need a keyboard.

I understand your point, but what happens for me is that I don't even try to score when playing hard and up in UFO. When I was clearing EoSD, PCB and IN on hard I was actually grazing the bullets, without focus with the border was active and collecting time in IN. It was challenging and it didn't get in the way of how many lives you'd get, you could screw up and lose one but that would be your own fault. It's different from UFO since the game only gives you 3 starting ones and perhaps another 2 or 3 during the game, forcing people with less skill to not bother with the scoring system at all and focus on the red UFOs.

That's dumb.
Do you think in the arcades they don't watch each other playing and copy good ideas?

I play on Medium, mostly because I don't want to spend all of my free time practicing Touhou.

Try Suwako. Bomb.

So far I could 1cc IN and MoF on normal, but those are the easy ones.

I also managed to survive some of Mokou's spellcards while playing drunk

>>4822907
lol wat. how can you fail at PoFV?

I can't even complete hard more in most of the games, but even I've unlocked shikieki and lunasa.

PoFV isn't as easily memorized as most of the pattens are random. That, and Shiki is a goddamn cheater.

Spent 5 attempts losing all 5 lives to shiki, I tried to brute force her down but orange walls + 3-4minute AI > me, finally just said fuck it and went pacifist until 2 mins in

I want to like the single player PoFV, but it relies way too much on the gay "destroy small bullets with explosions" gimmick, I mean PoDD had that but it was not absolutely required to survive like PoFV.

I play them all the time when i am bored in class.

No PoFV players?

>> No.4823341

I played SA first. Bad idea.

It took me hours on end just to figure out a single stage on normal. To this day, I still can't beat Utsuho on normal. Fuck this shit.
