It's because Touhou is to STGs what Naruto is to anime or Desert Eagles are to guns: babby's first shit that anyone who isn't an ignorant plebian despises for roping in retards and children.

Touhou is as generic as you get. The music is plagiarized from SNES rpgs and various other sources, the game mechanics are stolen from Dodonpachi/Shikigami no Shiro, the setting is literally called "fantasy land", the characters are pretty much designs with a few ill-defined characteristics in lieu of things like motivation or personality, etc. If it wasn't for fanworks, which have nothing to do with the quality of the games themselves, no one would pay any heed to it. The fact that the majority of Touhou fans have usually played at most 4 or 5 other shmups doesn't help either.

Umineko is a babby's first VN of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of setting and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and META. The NEET anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for normal, sociable, underage faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The metaworld characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the magic, the peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole "colored text" faggotry and everything about the Umineko world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on love, and the overall preachiness of the whole series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes normals and underage retards eat this shit right the fuck up.

Umineko is basically THE series to attract the most hated visual novel fanbase known to /jp/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this franchise and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Umineko threads ever encourage the normalfags to show their faces here.

Touhou has a consistent, if same-y thing going for it. It's not bad, it's solid. It's just not over the top like some Cave shooters.

Also, not all Cave shooters are over the top challenge games. Deathsmiles is a Cave shooter, but in no way does it have better gameplay than a Touhou shooter.

>> No.8598005

Artificially increasing difficulty by making it impossible to see where to go (such as mushihime's later stages) with identical purple bullets whose borders overlap ... that isn't my definition of being good, it's simply being cheap by exploiting flaws in the way your eyes work to confuse your brain, and forcing you to make guesses until you learn by pure trial and error, rather than intuition or skill. Such tactics are for lightening people of their pocket change.

Shmups became the way they are because the demand for increased difficulty at arcades selects for more complexity; a game that flogs your ass naturally makes a lot more money than one you could breeze through, because you get kind of a vendetta against it. This direction pushed the genre too much for its own good; as the same handful of masters needed a higher tier next game, we wound up with needing to literally operate blind sometimes to clear ... which crosses over into bullshit territory and IS why the genre is dead today. People like a challenge, but, once they realize what they're up against, they won't play a game that is just downright unfair, unless you actually enjoy Cave shitting on your face and beg for a diarrhea load of it at the end. It's nice being Neo at shmups, but when you need to be both Neo and also get lucky at a series of gambles RIGHT at the end, then people will just quit.

Touhou got popular because ZUN doesn't want to just shit on your face all day and claim he's the best because of it. He totally could if he wanted to, but the point of the games isn't blind navigating/muscle memory, but to be (mostly) fair and entertaining. You can claim that's casual, but I call it ignoring the arcade bullshit that killed the fucking genre in the first place. Also, nevertheless Touhou's still got some challenges, such as being a top scorer on UFO Lunatic, or getting the Extra Gold Medal on Fairy Wars.

What? You solder the port to the board inside the thing. Every pin is there, including the full set of R, G, B, H-Sync, and V-Sync.

Starcraft, Diablo II and WoW are not at all hard games by any means, yet they are the most immersive ones to ever exist by any measurable standard (time played + how seriously it's taken by its players). I've never heard of someone dying from playing too much DoDonPachi, even though that game's a million times harder.

People most certainly don't like being spoonfed their victories; it makes them take the game less seriously and hence is less immersive.. but, that's not the whole answer to the equation.

You don't know how to enjoy a videogame.

The whole point of Touhou is the fact Zun makes the games with love in his mind, and not "wanting to make all the money I can in the arcades" like the 70% of STGs producers/companies.
Also, ZUN loves to make a lot of "unnecesary" backstory that makes the characters more closer with the fans, that's probably the secret of his succes and this is why Touhou is a good game. You can discuss if the gameplay is shit, but gameplay isn't everything in all games, only in fighters...

But who cares about what they play or not? Unless they're a retardeds who don't know a shit about the story, the characters and the existence of the games, I don't think it's a bad thing. Sadly there are a lot of those elements, but the only reason is because it's really extended.

That may be true in the West, but the actual Japanese fanbase is very likely approximately the same age as Cave players, since they play everything there. Touhou got rooted in 1996, and there are millions of nips who have been following it since the early 2000s. It means a lot more to them than it just being a game. They don't see it as just another STG, they see it as "our" STG, because it's a fundamental part of Comiket.. it was both birthed and adopted there, made by a fan for the fans. It's nothing like Vocaloid even though many Western secondaries/tertiaries treat it like such, which is what's most annoying about the secondaries. Since many comiket attendees have been going for over a decade or two now; average Touhou fan age in Japan is at the very least 25, I'd peg it closer to 30+.

Overall though, hating Touhou for its fanbase is a bit like getting mad at say, Portal itself, instead of just hating the stupid casual fans it has. Portal by itself's done nothing offensive, it's just people like to cling to it because they want to seem trendy, tasteful or somehow smarter for liking it. Similarly, Touhou's games have a reputation among secondaries as being hardcore .. yeah, for people who don't play shmups, just like Portal is a smart game for people who've never played other puzzle games. That's the whole issue here, fandoms just suck if they start to get trendy, because trendy people like to promote shit without knowing what it actually is or having context to defend why they like it, because just it being trendy is a good enough reason for them. The real solution would be for Touhou to no longer be popular among teens, so that it goes back to underground status. Beats me how to accomplish that, though.

But in any case, this tourneyfag dickwaving is stupid. And saying that DOJBL is the IN of CAVE shooters is even stupider. All it does is discourage people from playing an already dead genre.

I prefer shump because they don't require nearly as much dedication as fighting games. I play both though. I also want to play RTS, but that's spreading myself too thin. There should be more time in the day so I can do everything I want.

>In these game centers teenagers, middle aged people and even older salarymen line the cabinets, putting down their yen for a chance to unwind after the day's happenings. There's unspoken codes of conduct that are meant to be followed, two main ones being: A.) You wait in line. Some games have huge lines for newer, popular releases. And B.) One credit only. That's it. Unless you're alone at a cabinet with no one expressing interest in taking your spot, you have to get up for the next person - no continuing. I'm sure that second point has left you bewildered, thinking “I can't clear ANY arcade game with one credit”, and that's the reason you're a limp-wristed, credit-feeding piece of shit.

Yeah, it does sound like icycalm.
I still want to read the rest of his articles. Fucking subscription ;_;

Or it's an imitator. Look at the games in his "Wall of Boners" list. There are a bunch of crappy RPGs in there, the only shooter is Gradius V (lol), and for some reason Muramasa makes an appearance. And one of the games he's looking forward to is Ni no Kuni.

So yeah, it's either an impostor, or icy is a bigger poseur than I would've thought, with bad taste to boot.

Yeah, I can totally see him liking Demon's Souls and SJ (choices, etc., the stuff he wants in RPGs), but there's no way in fuck he'd recommend something like FFXII and Muramasa.

Icycalm profusely stated Bullet Witch was "too soon", "before its time", and an "unpolished gem", among other shit, when the game is just really fucking awful. So no, it really doesn't matter what he likes.

Recalculate what, exactly? The chart shows an average age of Touhou fan is somewhere between 21 and 22 years, significantly lower than 25, not to mention 30+.
