/thg/ - Touhou Gameplay

>>146

Dont worry /2hu/ will be fine and with the new world order of /2hu/ plus /thg/ it will be fine. Main issue is Next not failing and making sure both boards dont bleed users but thats more so up to people wanting to post. Been tempted to run ads on other boards but I am also tempted to run ads of people dox's on their own board just to annoy them.

Misleading the player like that in a game about precise movements is really mischievous.

I know it looks cool, but damn, he could've just stayed there and racked points up.

My memory of SA is hazy, though, but I'm sure the bullet fire ends after a few seconds - during which another one of those fairies comes out.

>>108

The original was much faster and the player didn't see it coming. Although it would have been possible to stay in there and graze.The big fairy would fire two waves before leaving the screen. The small fairies would also shoot aimed bullets, although there is enough room to stream.

I've just met Mokou, and at the recommended level, she's too much for me to handle.

Is there a certain setup required? I'm already switching my damage dealers out to soak up her debuffs, but they usually run out of MP shortly before her hitting zero HP for the first time; that is, if she doesn't decide to one-shot one of them randomly anyway.

>>166

I guess I'm just used to playing one of the main games all the time. I've never been big on fangames and I'm not used to this game's genre. I don't really know how it works or what the appeal is. It's instinctive for me to always play a shmup so I rarely play anything else. Maybe I'm just not in the mood to try new things.

>>167

It's easy to learn, but somewhat hard to master. The game itself is being really verbose on things, so even if you're not familiar with the genre, the information provided to you should be enough to learn the ropes. As far as fangames go, this one is really great. And if you have questions, you could just ask them here, after all!

>>122

>I'd like seeing a combination of both.

That's quite idealistic.

>It seems to be difficult improving without becoming cynical. It's one of the reasons why I look up to high-level players who are still nice to others.

That's hard to do in a community like this.

>Am I perhaps being a bit too idealistic about this?

The language barrier is heavy in the shmup community. It's not so simple to attract Asian players. They are in a world of their own and don't care much for the West. I see what you are trying to do but I can't begin to imagine how it would be implemented.

>This is pretty much true for the whole genre. Bullet-hell is known as "Impossible" and "Inhuman". It's impossible to change the mindset of new players when thoughts like these linger in the minds of people that don't even play the games in the first place. The only way it'd change is if a large amount of players started playing the games and started 1ccing everything, they'd be able to represent how doable it all is in reality.

New players have no way of knowing what degree of difficulty these achievements really take. There's a massive discrepancy of skill between players in a game like Touhou.

>They have? Well, I guess it's true. Considering that there's people treating NMNB like it's the holy grail of Touhou. It'd be nice if people started taking it easy again. Whatever happened to "Yukkuri shiteite ne yo"?

Players stopped respecting the game and started to treat it as a popularity contest. They knew they couldn't be the best at everything, so they started to focus on narrow scopes and building their little domain for the sake of getting a share of the ego pie. It's not apparent to new players, but the relationships between higher level players are filled with hatred, lying, hypocrisy, and backstabbing. The rush from Touhou is meant to come from getting a good achievement after putting a lot of work into it. Because the game was so mistreated, players that fed on the attention that comes after a run instead of the run itself ruined the community. To them, evPost too long.

That can be a good thing though! We'll have something we can work towards!

I'm not talking about forcing them to get along with the Western players. What I want is almost the opposite, a place where Asian players can connect with and talk to other Asian players

>New players have no way of knowing what degree of difficulty these achievements really take. There's a massive discrepancy of skill between players in a game like Touhou.

It's kinda funny how bad it's gotten. Really big achievement are severely under appreciated because of it. The time-delay between not playing shmups at all and getting several Lunatic 1ccs is smaller than the distance between having Lunatic 1ccs and getting a good high-score.

>the relationships between higher level players are filled with hatred, lying, hypocrisy, and backstabbing

Is it really that bad? I don't really hang around many players, so I wouldn't know much about it. Are you speaking from experience?

>>141

>That can be a good thing though! We'll have something we can work towards!

Let's make /thg/ part of that.

>I'm not talking about forcing them to get along with the Western players. What I want is almost the opposite, a place where Asian players can connect with and talk to other Asian players

The technical side is easy. All you need is a web host and domain. But how do you intend to get these Asian players to use your site? Will they really trust a site maintained by a ⑨外人?

>It's kinda funny how bad it's gotten. Really big achievement are severely under appreciated because of it.

Agreed.

>The time-delay between not playing shmups at all and getting several Lunatic 1ccs is smaller than the distance between having Lunatic 1ccs and getting a good high-score.

That's true. I've seen players start the game and get Lunatic clears in the time it has taken an experienced player to do a single achievement. Some high-level players can only get a handful of meaningful runs per year. A lot of work goes into it.

>[spoiler]

I am, sadly.

>>142

> But how do you intend to get these Asian players to use your site? Will they really trust a site maintained by a ⑨外人?

I hope that in a couple years I'll have a good enough reputation because of high-scores and nice 1ccs. I'm expecting people would simply trust me out of respect. Even though I don't have many friends, it turns out many people already respect me for some weird reason. But now is not the time to start community things, that comes later!

>Some high-level players can only get a handful of meaningful runs per year. A lot of work goes into it.

And what's even worse is that the only people who can comprehend how good a score is are people who have a score just as high, if not higher than the score you've gotten. For the remaining players a high-score is just a number they compare to the WR.

>I am, sadly.

Awww, I would totally talk to you and be friends with you and stuff!

>>149

You are quite ambitious. It will be interesting to see what you can come up with.

>For the remaining players a high-score is just a number they compare to the WR.

True. It's silly how many players think that scoring is only about the WR.

>Awww, I would totally talk to you and be friends with you and stuff!

Sounds like fun. I'll be right here. Unless you mean outside of the board?

>>45

I read that the guest performances were amazing and the panels that were held were much more interesting than last year. Other than that I have no idea.

>>81

I saw you in the other thread. I bet you're hyped.

>>82

Yeah! I'm really happy that we're finally getting a CAVE game on PC. I used to joke with other players about it happening, so now that it's true I can barely believe it.

Now we just need some Touhou games on there. That would brighten up my year even more!

>>83

Touhou games on Steam? I would be disappointed to see that. Being able to avoid Steam is a perk.

>>56

Where are you geographically located? I'm in USA central. Also, the first few rounds were laggy, but I increased the latency on Sokuroll and it helped a bit. I also played on a keyboard.

>>57

Central as well, and I think I'd rather use a keyboard that what I was stuck with so if I can't get my old controller I guess I'm learning something new.

I've been doing a lot of netplay lately. I never realized how technical Soku can be. There's a lot of good getting to do. I played it for the first time years ago but I didn't bother playing it seriously until a few months ago. It's also fun to play a cooperative game since the regular Touhou games can get lonely at times.

Version 1.00b patch: http://www16.big.or.jp/~zun/html/th15dl.html

For some reason it refuses to work with my installation. I may have to resort to downloading an already patched version of the game.

>>70

Does it change anything important?

>>71

It just says that there were bug corrections. In his blog, ZUN said that some of them were "serious". But I can't find anything specific. Maybe the patch has a changelog but I haven't successfully run it yet.

I got an ISO version of the game and the patch worked for that. I wonder how the version I had was different.
