Has Touhou jumped the shark yet?

A series can 'jump the shark', meaning it's past its prime and at this point it's just getting stupid.

For people, see:

WHEN GIL NO FUCKING HORIZONTAL PCB ON EASY AND NO VERTICAL'D PHANTASM, OH MY FUCKING GOD, HOW DID HE EVEN DO THOSE?

Obvious irony aside, I think it jumped the shark when MoF came out. The new engine felt weird and didn't really click for me. Honestly, the way things were in IN were pretty good.

>>	Anonymous Tue, May 31, 2011 13:50:59 No.7419469 Yes, when it got its own board on 4chan

>>	Anonymous Tue, May 31, 2011 13:52:59 No.7419471 >>7419466 MoF, definitely. SA was an improvement though.

>ITT: We pretend things used to be so much better than they are now, despite the fact that nothing's really changed.

I weep for anyone who has to worry about whether something they enjoy is still popular/"good". If you like it, enjoy it. Everyone else's opinion be damned.

>>7422883
Why do you come to 4chan? Why don't you get some friends? try to get laid, do something besides going on 4chan to try and act like a pretentious shitdick. If you had anybody in your life who actually wanted to listen to what you had to say you wouldn't be doing this, and if you weren't a complete piece of shit you would realize that nobody is going to read your point of view you faggot. Just stop or kill yourself, either or is fine with me.

>>	Anonymous Wed, Jun 1, 2011 04:27:59 No.7422886 I haven't played a Toohoo since PCB

>>	Anonymous Wed, Jun 1, 2011 04:30:59 No.7422893 Jumped the shark in terms of what? Gameplay, music, characters, story, fanbase? In the sense of "fell into a low point and never recovered," I don't think Touhou has jumped. ZUN got better after MoF, after all.

>>	Kudryavka !!wEyYEw5OlKU Wed, Jun 1, 2011 04:40:59 No.7422906 Five or so years ago. EoSD, PCB, and IN are still the only really great Touhou games.

>>	Anonymous Wed, Jun 1, 2011 04:40:59 No.7422908 The problem with Touhou is that is has been jumping over sharks from the very start. Sensibilities based on shitty American sitcoms just don't apply it.

Anonymous Thu, Jun 2, 2011 09:33:59 No.7427309

Musically, I'd say it jumped the shark with SA.
Gameplaily, I'd say it jumped the shark with UFO.

>nothing has changed
Bullshit. Play SoEW, MS, EoSD, PCB, and SA. They're extremely different.

>>	Anonymous Thu, Jun 2, 2011 09:37:59 No.7427319 But we can all agree that PCB is the peak of Touhou

>>	Anonymous Thu, Jun 2, 2011 09:47:59 No.7427355 >>7427339 SA's OST sure is great, but it isn't as good as, say, MoF's or EoSD's.

>>	Anonymous Thu, Jun 2, 2011 10:11:59 No.7427395 >>7427369 PCB is easier when you are better, since you have borders and death bombing only takes 1 bomb. IN has a retarded scoring gimmick too.

>>	Anonymous Thu, Jun 2, 2011 11:44:59 No.7427667 >>7427596 I thought UFO had completely forgettable stage 2 and 3 themes for both stage and boss, while SA had some nice stage themes, I believe it kind of suffered at certain boss themes, as much as some people will disagree.
