>Beating any Touhou game on easy difficulty setting is still a great accomplishment.

Do people actually believe this? You have to be braindead to not be able to beat at least a few of the Windows games on Normal with relative ease.

I don't think /a/ would be too kind to anyone openly admitting they use the MAL forums.

I tried to 1cc PCB earlier in easy, but I still had to use one continue. It's way harder than eosd.

>> No.9565818

I suppose it's an accomplishment in the same way beating a Kirby game is an accomplishment.

I agree that it's nothing worth bragging about, though. Not only because of the lower difficulty, but because you're not experiencing Touhou properly. Didn't ZUN even say something to this effect in an interview?
It just seems that he doesn't put as much effort into easy modo as he does for the higher difficulties. He's obviously less interested in it personally, and it's just there to placate a few people who suck at computer games and can't be bothered to get better.

Beating a shmup on any difficulty is great accomplishment.

I found PCB far easier than EOSD aside from Yuyuko who was a far harder final boss than Remilia. PCB was the first Touhou game I 1cc'd on Normal, EOSD the second.

Beating UFO Lunatic is a great accomplishment.But still a shmup is a shmup and I can see why people would think that.

Beating your mother is easy in difficulty lol!

Managing to play these boring-ass games long enough to beat them is an accomplishment, no matter the difficulty.

By the time you are able to do that dodging bullets becomes an addiction so it won't feel like an accomplishment.

I think it's a great accomplishment. I remember feeling very happy and accomplished when I got my first Easy 1cc.

It depends on the person.

I don't like the attitude that anyone should be able to clear any Touhou game on normal without much effort, because that's not really true. I have bad eyes and I've always been bad with games because I lack precise fine control. I even have problems remembering short commandos on the computer I use everyday.

I can still 1CC some Touhou games on normal, but it takes a lot of practice. Clearing something like UFO or SA is but a distant dream. UFO is one of my favorite games and I've played it regularly for years, and I still can't 1CC it. Not even close.

It's kinda sad, but that's how it is for me. No matter, I still enjoy the games a lot.

To say that it's a great accomplishment to clear a game though, that feels like an exaggeration. Not to mention weird. Unless you're playing world-champion level, games aren't meant to be accomplishments, just fun.

Any other game without lifeless visuals will do. Touhou is like a video game version of some eastern bloc ghetto, they can drain the spirit out of me just by looking at it.

But if I had to pick a more interesting shooter, I'd go with ESPGaluda II.

It's funny because many current gen players would say the exact same thing about any stg visuals.
But I see what you mean, I really miss being able to destroy background buildings and stuff in the Touhou games.

Opinions are funny because I play CAVE games for the patterns and Touhou games for the audiovisual experience.

It is fun to 1CC a Touhou game. I have never felt such feeling of accomplishing something as when I have 1CC'd Touhou games for the first time. It is fun to set yourself a goal to 1CC on normal and through lots of training accomplish that goal. That is why I like Touhou so much. Challenge can be fun.

How does that compare to, say, Ikaruga? It's been a decade since I bought that game, and I've been putting off playing other shooters until I beat it.
