Previous thread: >So what is this game? Touhou is a bullet hell game made by ZUN. Instead of ship or robots it features anime girls fighting youkai and such.
>Why isn't this in /jp/ Some Cirno poster made a thread just for a get and now we're here.
>Where should I start? The games until 5 were designed for the PC-98 platform, which would require an emulator. It's recommended you start either with the sixth (first Windows game) or the second game (as the first one isn't a bullet hell) and work your way up from there. Some games aren't your usual bullet hells but should be played anyway 1: Arkanoid's drunk abusive cousin 7.5, 10.5, 12.3, 13.5, 14.5: Fighting games The others follow the basics of the bullet hell genre but usually add a game play twist. Once you're done with the main series you can move on to the fangames, of which some are of excellent quality.
>Where can I get the games? moriyashrine.org/ (For separate game downloading)
Does the janitor/mod wanna explain his reasoning for deleting the thread?
IS THIS NOT VIDEO GAME ENOUGH FOR YOU?
Adam Jenkins
>deleting the more popular thread Is this board's moderation seriously autistic?
Adrian Reyes
I dunno, I made another thread right after, so we've got two up now. That's the second time now without any explanations. I guess they hold /2hug/ to a higher standard or something?
Christian Torres
Nani the fuck?
Brayden Johnson
Maybe because of the roleplaying and a bit of blogging. Should be mentioned in the OP to tune down the cuteposting especially at the start of the thread.
Daniel Thomas
Maybe? But that's the least amount of blogging we've done in a long time. Sakuya user was pretty much posting play by plays of his runs of SA onwards. So I don't see how that could be the case.
Robert Campbell
>a bit of blogging Fuck, guess I better stop posting my runs then, never would've guessed they'd be the end of this general.
Michael Kelly
>roleplaying and a bit of blogging >cuteposting So, literally every thread on Veeky Forums?
James Butler
I hope not, because that's honestly the thing that pulls the general out of ditches of shit posting.
Oliver Adams
Must be a newfag mod
Anyway why won't ZUN add basic shit like a key remap option and more than 3 resolutions to his games?
Lincoln Miller
Who knows, after all this time he'd probably have figured it out, maybe he just keeps the same framework for all his games out of tradition or something?
Chase Perry
It can't be your fault: if anything, posting runs IS the most gameplay-centric thing you can get.
Jackson Scott
I mean personal blogging. Posting game achievement/progression is always fine.
You know 2hu sometimes known to be the worst on those. I don't know.
Nathan Harris
There are generals with way worse blogposting. I doubt that's the reason.
Ryan Flores
>his monitor can't make 640x480 look good
Andrew Bennett
>personal blogging >the only thing we've been blogposting was games and progression Who fucking even knows man, we're just gonna be left in the dark. There's no way /2hug/ is the worst with waifuposting by far. Just jump on /feg/ or /aceg/, it's pretty much just them talking about waifus and planes.
Ryan Campbell
But other anons have blogposted way more on other threads that didn't get deleted.
Owen Gray
>Just jump on /feg/ or /aceg/, it's pretty much just them talking about waifus and planes.
Katawa Shoujo general also still exists.
Daniel Watson
Is it just me or is the Captcha being a real bitch for the past few days now?
Leo Murphy
Every time I check the shmup general, it's 30% image bumping, 30% e-celeb shit, 20% shitposting, 20% actual discussion.
Blake Cooper
>implying jannies read threads before deletion He was having a bad day, just let it be.
>not using legacy captcha It's going to be disabled in a few months, so use it while you still can.
Kayden Martin
I was gonna mention that, but I've never been on it. But given that it's talking about a flavor of the month VN from fucking years ago, I can't imagine it's anything but stagnant waifuposting. Probably what /ddlc/ devolved into.
Luke Morris
It can, but it would look even better at 240p
Gabriel Hall
I just noticed that Hina is referred to as "Curse Doll of the Hidden God" in MoF. I wonder if she's working for Okina.
Isaiah Russell
MAXIMUM GAMEPLAY POSTING.
I know, I'm joking, I don't mean to brag but my posts are pretty related to 2hu. I just hope it's a honest mistake and some sort of serious order, if it comes to that.
This, there are generals WAY worse than that last thread, and that thread was the shitteist in a while.
I'd take it to /q/ however anyway mention of Veeky Forums is likely to be entirely negative. Again hopefully it's an honest mistake.
Liam Bailey
>It's going to be disabled in a few months What? why? How do I get it back once it's gone? I doubt I can live without it.
Angel Cruz
never, google is literally evil after all.
Alexander Sanchez
Buy a goy pass so this chink can keep evading taxes
Luke Ortiz
Something about Google dropping support. moot2 isn't interested in any alternatives, so we're going to be stuck with captcha v2 forever.
Cameron Davis
>Curse Doll of the Hidden God Like, as cool as that would be, ZUN isn't known for really deep foreshadowing. I wouldn't be surprised if the hats on statues thing in IN being related to HSiFS turned out to be just a joke.
Parker Green
Google really wants their automatic driver soon it seems.
Brody Roberts
Well don't say it like it's a good thing and end up encouraging it, alright. After all it's better to improve the quality. I'm already glad this general doesn't have any tripfags.
Aaron Lopez
Too bad no 2hu games run at 240p natively. Can you post the Mima picture? I cherished it, but have lost it somewhere.
Landon Johnson
I'm pretty sure it was a joke. Alice isn't exactly a prankster so it was just Marisa passing the blame to her.
Logan Lee
I bet that seijafag is a janny and got so butthurt over people shitting on him he deleted the thread out of rage
Hudson Rivera
I thought only mods can delete threads?
Charles Ward
I'm not saying blogposting things outside of 2hu is a good thing, I'm saying that the thread couldn't have been deleted for blogposting since there's been worse cases. >In Imperishable Night, Marisa says "...And putting hats on statues, it's all Alice's fault." So? >That foreshadowing finally pays off (lol). There's a chance. O B S E S E D
Jayden Gonzalez
Getting pictures at 60Hz is kinda dificult for my phone's camera without black lines everywhere. I think I'm gonna pick up another CRT monitor soon. I can't really play anything on LCD unless it's 120Hz with strobbing and even then, the contrast sux
your newfag is showing my dude
Robert Jenkins
I mean, wouldn't we have been able to tell if he was? and that would've been a kinda delayed reaction since there was like 50 posts after the fact.
Julian Robinson
Can we post 2hu lewds now?
Mason Rogers
I bet the Lunarians did this. And the Lunarians are just in cahoots with the mods. fucking moonie lovers.
Ethan Bailey
Let's not risk it, since apparently we're already on thin ice.
Asher Ward
Isn't the Moriya Shrine behind everything?
David Thompson
Thank you, user. I miss bathing my face in electron beams so much.
Luis Collins
No they want to see their 4chin PURE
Adrian Ross
There are other way more shitpost-y generals, there are other generals that have way less to do with video games than this one. So fuck that
Jackson Diaz
Fucking lunarians, when will they learn the moon is just territory of the US?
Hudson Sanders
Woah guys does this mean that Cirno and Marisa are related?
Blake Baker
Deepest lore.
Jose Ward
My only complain about HSiFS is we could have gotten another Western magician as Marisa's acquintances, but instead we get another buddhist magician that I think should be exclusively Byakuren thing. Does Buddhism has relation to magician or something other than super power or spiritualism?
Not that I hate Narumi, though. It's just there could be better choice imo.
Anthony Jones
Why insist on posting something of low quality instead of improving the thread? You're taking example from a shit thread. "It's okay to shitpost if the others shitpost harder" is retarded logic.
Hunter Scott
You could always pick up a used monitor for $5 or less
Samuel Ramirez
I'm saying it's ridiculous that they try and delete our threads for no reason, when the other worse ones have no problems with this.
I'm against the general being only cuteposting, actual discussion is obviously better.
Noah Bennett
I will agree it's shit, especially since we've been going for almost 70 threads now, but it's probably not best to try and test the waters if we're apparently under such scrutiny like this.
Jose Long
>Unskipable cutscenes What is this, 1997? Also I fogot to mention the theme playing here is also fucking awesome.
I'd rather have recurring characters than new ones honestly. We already have too many lost in the void we don't need any more. A non fighting touhou game with nothing but Recurring characters would be great, not like ZUN has a lack of existing material to work with anyway.
Elijah Gomez
The sad part is ZUN really doesn't like re-using characters, so the likely hood of that happening are slim to none. also, youtube.com/watch?v=UTLqnME57vo Strawberry Crisis is gud shit
Brandon Ramirez
Too bad I think it's already his creed to churn out new 2hus in every mainline. The best you can get for returning characters is shmup spin-off and Phantasmagoria, but even they usually don't expand the characters if that's what you're hoping for.
Logan Hughes
>Pretty much only in Megaten. But it's not like you can beat up Christ or Muhammad either, right? You might as well have a fighting game with Christ vs. Muhammad. I'd like to see that.
What did ZUN mean by this?
Caleb Cooper
>Christ vs Muhammed Oh lord, is he going to introduce Christian and Muslim 2hus now?
Jaxon Jackson
Buddhist magic does exist, but is Narumi even Buddhist? I know she used to be a jizou statue, but that's like saying Eiki is Buddhist.
Jace Russell
I hope the Muhammad 2hu has some kind of self-destruction ability combined with reconstructing its body after the explosion.
What's the question, user? I don't get the context.
Jizou is buddhist statue. And yeah, while Eiki herself is not buddhist, afterlife in Gensokyo is kinda influenced by buddhism mythology.
Lincoln Thomas
Mokou adopts islamism when?
Jordan Stewart
Round 2 you wench.
Yeah it's a long shot and the only thing that'll come close is another Phantasmagoria game.
>Destroying filthy mudslime 2hus with a Christian Paladinhu I can dig it, as long as it doesn't involve Chirstian vs Muslim shitflining like with Taoists and Buddhists.
Ayden Clark
Okay, now I don't want Islam in 2hu.
Samuel Clark
>Crusader 2hu oh lord I can't wait to see her have some silly looking great helm and folded over 1000 times "long sword" where's my gun tsukumogami?
Cameron Ross
But there's already a muslim touhou and she's burning down the house.
Kevin Davis
She would be the next awoo. You don't want that.
Andrew Hughes
>There are a lot of people these days who treat the law as absolute, but when you look into why the laws were written it's often really stupid. Like, it's easy enough to understand why you'd ban marijuana, but when you ask why marijuana is no good but alcohol is OK it just doesn't make any sense. That's just how the law is, but I think it's obvious that when society is like that then religion, which makes even more rules, wouldn't do well at all. So the modern tendency to make religion "the enemy" is the fault of the law. When there are both religious precepts and national laws, they're going to conflict somewhere. DUDE
Ryder Ramirez
>ZUN getting political ABORT
Juan Smith
Where is this from? Technically, we had a Judaic 2hu in HRtP. I know what a jizou statue is, but ZUN said this: >And Narumi isn't a Jizo statue anymore, she's become a magician. She lives in the Forest of Magic and thanks to the effect of the magical energy is now a poorly understood being. She's losing that Jizo impression. You're right about Touhou having Buddhist cosmology, but it doesn't seem like Eiki promotes specifically Buddhist values. >as long as it doesn't involve Chirstian vs Muslim shitflining >ever implying >he didn't read AFiEU
Which part of Touhou that's related to this, though?or is it purely social commentary?
Ayden Murphy
it's from
Blake Nelson
>That's why I made the name (Fuujinroku) a reference to the first shooting game I ever made, Story of Eastern Wonderland (Fuumaroku) Now I know that, when I confuse the two Japanese names, it's his fault. >Since MoF, there've been more fans who like to analyze the works. So in that sense I think it was a success. ZUN officially endorses our meaningful discussions. And most importantly >it'd be more like Megami Tensei or something. >We don't go around killing YHWH that often. Finally a 2hu game where I can kill my friends!
Angel Green
Sanae slut comes from her being an outside worlder and thus being viewed as being less of a conservative girl. Kaguya NEET is because Kaguya ever hardly leaves her palace in Eientei, so they just depict her as a NEET for much laughs.
Evan Hughes
I mean in the actual works, MoF especially. Could it be represented by Kanako spreading her religion and technologival advancement even if it's a bit against Gensokyo law and norms? Doesn't seem to be the case.
Isaac Gray
Sanae loves cocks, so she's a slut. Kaguya stays inside all day, and Eientei could easily have modern technology, so the contrast between her being a refined beautiful princess and her being a NEET who shitposts all day is funny
Aiden Powell
Sanae is a normal 21st century teenager girl. So automatically she's the sluttiest in all of Gensokyo
Ryder Phillips
I mean, memes aside, Sanae would probably be very conservative by 21st century standards wouldn't she? Given that she's a Japanese Shrine Maiden and all.
Jaxson Reed
That's why she's so perfect; she's both a shrine maiden, and also a huge nerd about nuclear physics, so the actual chances of her having gotten laid are not high. But it's still a good meme to have because she gets a lot of good porn
Thomas Adams
Sanae is a really boring character I don't know why ZUN tried to push her as a protagonist so hard
Angel Turner
Just look at this, there's no way Sanae would go to any teenage parties. She's pure, damnit!
Camden White
I mean the other options would be Youmu, Reisen and Sakuya showing up constantly.
Jayden Nelson
I wouldn't have a problem with Sakuya being the third protagonist instead of Sanae. She's human as well.
Justin Bell
Well she was in literally every game and printwork up until MoF wasn't she? Though that might have been more of a case of not really enough characters to go around.
Julian Gray
That's what I mean. I don't dislike Sanae, but I wouldn't have hated it if ZUN just kept using Sakuya as the third playable character in MoF and after.
Henry Martinez
Sanae has a better reason to get involved in incident solving than Sakuya though, it worked in IN because she was working with Remilia, but besides that she would normally be staying by her master's side over going out and saving the day.
Isaiah Jenkins
This is why Reimu is the better girl. She knows how to have a good time and would be fun at parties!
Ethan Bailey
It's true that Sakuya doesn't really have a reason to solve most icidents unless the incident inconveniences Remilia somehow.
Brayden Adams
>Reimu >effort what possessed that girl. besides, I bet having nothing but sake gets old. Does traditional Japan even have any booze besides Sake really?
Jaxson Ross
>REAL hagic Again the proofs are right here, Marisa is the ultimate hag.
Same, I really don't care for Sanae, what little I've played her in UFO on hard just made her seem like a wannabe Reimu. Sakuya was a third character in DDC rather than Sanae so there's still hope. But I do understand why he does it given the circumstances.
Gabriel Foster
Didn't stop her from being playable in DDC.
Benjamin Campbell
According to ZUN he really dislikes using Youmu because she is the hardest character to write for.
Issue with Sakuya and Reisen is they don't have any particular reasons nor do they care for getting into incidents unless they're directly connected. It strikes me ZUN chooses his protagonists more based on what he wants to write then who is more wanted.
