So today was my first time playing Touhou (EoSD). I'm used to FPS like Quake, that can easily be described as frantic. This is... different. I couldn't stop thinking "JESUS FUCK AOEUAOEUAOEU"

I got to 62% on normal on my first try.

So, tell me, how does a game like this spawn a meme like "take it easy"?

You should try taking it easy.

We've all been there, dude.

Your first is also not that much above average. Touhous is all about learning about it's mechanics and tricks, and then practice.

Takes time, but it's fulfilling if you're up to it. You should check the gameplay generals: >>8499660

>Quake
Since you like quality games you might as well entirely skip the mediocre memorizing circus known as Touhou.

If you want to study something, why not study something useful like a new language? Just play the game and take it easy, and get better.

To be honest, Quake has elements of memorizing (maps, spots, which weap for which situation)

90.45 % Second try.

Are you playing on Easy or Normal or higher ?
How many continue did you use ?

[Anonymous No.]

Something to keep in mind:
No matter how many bullets there may be appear to be, over half the screen is always free space. At least hitbox-wise. On Normal. Go watch some Lunatic replays and weep.

This. I used to play a lot of Quake (even semi-"professionally") and for skilled players it's more like a rhythm game than an FPS. I still have how to strafe through every map embedded in my muscle memory.

Touhou is different though in that the patterns change. You will not be able to pull off the *exact* same thing twice. You need to learn the various spell cards and find an effective way to beat them. Usually they're a lot harder than they look too (Reisen's spell cards were the hardest thing ever when I first played IN, but once you get the gimmicks they're some of the easiest in any game).

Normal, didn't change settings, so I just keep going until "enter score" screen.

>>8520147
Combat and "the rest of the game" are separate, especially in duels. Played a guy on DM6 once, he completely locked me out- I had all items but couldn't get to him.

>>8520134
Can you turn on hitboxes? ie make them visible?

> Can you turn on hitboxes? ie make them visible?
Actually this is why EoSD is a poor choice of game for beginners. In the later game focussing by holding SHIFT will show your hitbox, but in EoSD it doesn't (though it's quite easily to get the hang of where it is). Someone made a "hitbox patch" that turns it on permanently, but it's not really as useful as it sounds.

I'd honestly suggest playing PCB or IN first. Both are regarded as some of the easier Touhou games, and once you master them beating EoSD should be a lot easier.

Oh, and what's up with this SS?

>Actually this is why EoSD is a poor choice of game for beginners.
I'd argue the opposite. Having it there can form an initial over reliance on it and shift the player's gaze too close to where it shouldn't be. It's not just about knowing where your hitbox is, but feeling where it is too.

>Someone made a "hitbox patch" that turns it on permanently
Someone actually did make a hitbox patch for EoSD to only makes it appear when holding shift, I might try to dig it up if anyone really wants it.


PCB and IN are good places to start though. If you want to practice twitch dodging then playing PoFV might also be a good idea too.

You'll get used to the franticness after a while. But it's still there sometimes, I'm playing since almost 8 months now regularily and when bullets appear vertically as well as horizontally I get into a panic often enough.

Is your framerate wacky ingame, too? One frame always includes the same amount of events, so it directly affects the speed of the game. 60 is what the game is intended to be played at.

Well fuck, no wonder it was hard. I have a 120Hz monitor.

>>8520326
Try the vsync patch out, not sure where you can find it but Google should be able to help you with it. Among other things, it can fix a game's FPS to 60 if you're having issues with it.

You want him to get used to the 2sec death-bombing window?.

Let him play them in order, that way he can marvel at the progressive evolution in the series.

Goddamn, every videogame it's just about practice. The more you expose yourself to the same stimuli, the better your reaction will be.

Practice OP, practice makes the master. But make sure to look for some tips, tricks and videos so you can improve faster.

I agree. Deathbombing in IN Border team is completely different from normal deathbombing in the rest of the series.

IN was my first Touhou, and it took me ages to break my bad bombing habits.
