I was about to say "real life doesn't have quest markers and a minimap. I'm surprised casual scum haven't kysed themselves yet" but smart phones and car navigation systems exist now so... huh.
David Peterson
No rerolls, no save states and reloads, no designated heroine, no standard background music, balancing is shit, fucking supid daily work minigame to grind credits to do fucking anything. Give me one reason not to kill myself RIGHT NOW.
Julian Myers
I've got two. Video games and good food.
Ethan Clark
It's the only game where every success you have will undeniably make everyone else jellymad.
Mason Myers
Are there any more games with smorgasbord of waifus and good gameplays?
Justin Thomas
Have you 1cc'd a game on normal yet? If you have then maybe
Austin Scott
>smorgasbord of waifus Yes >good gameplay Not one. ZUN is the only person on earth willing to both make waifus and put in the effort to make everything quality. Everyone else is a lazy son of a bitch that plans to let their waifus do the heavy lifting and make some easy bucks before people get bored with them.
Aaron White
>Any more games with a smorgasbord of waifus there's a billion out there user >Good gameplay There's like maybe 2 out there user.
Adam White
ZUN's secret isn't making waifu characters and just having a really good design sense. it ends up pulling double duties for him.
Robert Collins
Actually I guess Etrian Odyssey kind of has a combination of lots of waifus and good gameplay, but those are really focused on the gameplay and the waifus are just a bonus. You could describe Touhou the same way. It's not like ZUN frames his creative process as waifu making.
Christopher Murphy
Um... Dynasty Warriors?
Mason Bennett
Yeah, if you set out to intentionally make waifus and then make some game as a delivery vector you'll end up like boatsluts. You need to design a compelling game or story first and then let the waifus be a natural byproduct of good design. Overwatch is an example of planning from the beginning to make a game that elevates its characters and characters that elevate their game. I'm convinced there was zero passion involved in their creative process, but they did it very skillfully.
Owen Moore
YMMV with "good" gameplay: Pokemon, Fire Emblem, most Blizzard games, most SRPGs with "jobs"
Kevin Kelly
>FE I mean, the earlier FE games had less waifus and more actual characters and Awakening onwards had plenty, to the detriment of the gameplay.
Bentley Reyes
yeah...p spook
Its your only life, even if living fucking sucks, I hope personal heavens exist.
Camden Powell
I got a rather obscure one. Renowned Explorers: International society. Wonderful gameplay. And a excellent variety of Waifus.
Carson Murphy
Thinking about it. the original Valkyria Chronicles is great and especially so if you're into /k/ stuff.
Landon Diaz
This should be our last thread. You’ve done enough. You deserve a rest.
Luke Watson
But then where else am i going to rant about Touhou? /jp/?
James Moore
Why would we end it when everyone's enjoying their time here?
Jaxson Nguyen
>less waifus and more actual characters Debatable. I think it's about the same amount of characterization per character, but now with 1000% more padding due to the "everybody can bone everybody" format. This has served to highlight how paper thin characters are (and always have) been. The good news is that Fates gameplay shines amidst the dumpster fire of a story, so hopefully they never make a mistake like Awakening ever again.
Forgot to throw fighting games into the hat. For me it's Guilty Gear which I've been playing since X, but pretty much every anime-styled fighter has decent gameplay and waifus/husbandos galore.
Hunter Morgan
>Gameplay >Fates Now I see you have shit taste in FE games. Fates was a fuck up all round. Thankfully the terminal trash taste doesn't seem to extend to fightans and you have good taste in fighters.
Jace Hernandez
>Fates gameplay shines amidst the dumpster fire of a story >Fates gameplay shines
Jackson Young
Fates tickled my LTC autism like no other, you could do so much bullshit. My actual basic bitch taste is firmly rooted in 7, where all of the best girls are.
Ian Clark
Fuck. I wanted to capture 100 spell cards for the 100th thread but this game is fucking hard. Filesize limit makes for some ass quality too
Blake Gomez
Rest? We haven't done anything yet.
Jose Harris
Damn, I want to do something special for our 100th thread too. I guess I’ll try 1cc EoSD on Hard before this thread end.
Brayden Price
This is why you don't let touhous have video games.
Dylan Scott
>thread #100 is Reimu thread I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Austin Nelson
>it's a battle royale game, but with 2hus That's surprisingly appealing. Bonus points if you can get danmaku to work in it.
David Harris
I'm sure if you make a donation it'll start feeling good soon
Camden Ortiz
I hope not, a battle royale/murder hobo touhou fangame is gonna turn touhou into a tertiary normie series.
David Rogers
Oh no that will ruin everything ZUN does by some means.
Jaxson Price
>Bunch of playable 2hus with their own shot type >Fight over territory in locations from 2hu >collect Bombs to unleash a Spell Card >Get hit once and you're dead, but respawns are super fast to compensate
I can see the appeal.
Adam Allen
I mean sure, but it's going to turn the series into even more of a toxic nightmare if you try and get involved because Touhou suddenly becomes popular youtube streamer bait because Touhou Royale got played by all the popular ones and got a billion views and now everyone and their mother is a touhou fan despite never playing even one of the spinoffs.
Nathaniel Cooper
The thing is that touhou has a fairly well established mythos already. A wave of newcomers wouldn't change that. A few will care a lot about touhou and read the canon. Most won't care that much and will drift away. There's not enough money in touhou for anyone to systematically rape it because ZUN would shut down anyone that got too big and profiteering with it.
Owen Gray
Don't you understand, it's very important for my favorite series to remain obscure! Because of reasons!
Jace Flores
Let’s aim for 1000 thread next
Liam Rogers
Speaking of which, a battle royale would require dedicated servers and support staff to be a major hit. All that stuff requires money. Older games got their money through monthly subscriptions and newer ones get it through microtransactions. I can't see either flying with ZUN. Any touhou battle royale would have to be hosted on private servers and I wouldn't bet on a game run solely off private servers ever being a big hit again.
Jace Gomez
>too much popularity isn't a bad thing >ruining the community is fine There's a nice medium between "sekrit klub" and "super popular" which touhou is in right now.
Ian Cruz
>ruining the community Is this some hipster meme?
Sebastian Morgan
Can Gensokyo win against the Fire Nation?
Joseph Rodriguez
Likely, from what I recall from Avatar the fire nation still had to rely on bending and troops armed with swords, polearms and the like while backed up with very specialized warmachines without any coaxial or turret mounted weapons really. Troops wouldn't stand much of a chance against a lot of the boss characters or playables and the armor wouldn't hold up much better.
Andrew Carter
Is there anywhere I can get high quality lossless flacs or ttas of the game soundtracks and ZUN's cds? I've looked everywhere online but only Chinese links appear and those take you directly to Baidu, which you need a chinese phone number to even register for. Shouldn't one person have compiled the osts by now?
Caleb Clark
Moriya Shrine has them compiled, but it's probably not the quality you're looking for.
You can easily rip the music from the games themselves, but the CDs are going to be much tougher. Try searching in /jp/ archives, some guy was dumping them a few years back.
Oliver Ramirez
Is anyone in this thread autistic enough to even try?
Bentley Sanders
congrats on your #100th thread /2hug/. you guys planning on doing anything to celebrate it?
Gavin Walker
Same. At least it will give me plenty of chances to bass Reimu.
Jayden Morgan
Im going to try and finnaly get Flandre down this week. It remains to be seen if i'll actually pull
Thomas Scott
*Pull it off.
Parker Roberts
The things that I usually do after I finally 1cc a game, open a can of beverage and drink it while enjoying the outside air.
James Rivera
>Open a can of beverage
What an odd way of phrasing that
Andrew Harris
Really? It sounds alright in my head.
Blake Bell
>move to japan >all I buy is touhou stuff
what will i do with these when I turn into a old man
Cooper Phillips
>Actually moving to Japan I hope your previous place of residence was like Africa or some where terrible.
Dominic Cook
california
Austin Johnson
>He moved from California to Japan Nigga you should've just gone eastwards. Now you live in a shitty hive mind community that will passive aggressively shun you and talk behind your back unless you do the unlikely task of proving your "worth" to them because you don't fit in and likely never will. I hope it's only for a brief period of time user for like school or martial arts or something.
Jaxon Richardson
ethnically im japanese so its ok
Henry Hill
How does it feel to finally be back at the land of samurai?
Thomas Cooper
100% Japanese or do you have a mixed racial ethnicity? Either way, you still would've had a better deal just moving to the mid west or something where you could enjoy a better happier lifestyle and just importing touhou stuff.
Brody Harris
There`s alot of foreigners now 100%. I`m pretty happy here for the most part
James Walker
I bet he's got something to say about that too. I hope your life is a good one over there. I don't think I could leave the States but then again I don't live in commiefornia. Nobody is fucking happy in the shitty Midwest for long
Luke Ross
this Finnish artist easily BTFO most Japanese artists
Colton Ross
Well you do you user, if you enjoy it that's fine
I couldn't give a shit if he was a trans-racial purple motherfucker. My point is as far as I know the Japanese aren't very happy with non-Japanese people and treat them with extreme xenophobia. He probably still has the "American" stigma, but if he 's 100% Japanese they probably won't notice.
Isaac Brooks
>all have the same face I'd say it's about even.
Josiah Martinez
Everyone looks a bit scrawny, but he's certainly skilled.
Connor Edwards
Looks like Setz got really good at his work.
William Davis
I love the Tim Burtonesque style guy It's so distinct and I can't believe he's a Jap
Zachary Rogers
>He probably still has the "American" stigma, but if he 's 100% Japanese they probably won't notice. they can tell by the way I talk yeah
oh well, can`t be friends with everyone huh
Justin Bailey
You say that like most japanese artists don't suffer from same face
Joseph Kelly
>All have the same face When you're talking about Anime-esque art you really can't use that as a mark against it.
If you can get by that's fine. But you're luckily probably dodging a lot of the worst of the shit by looking like one of them, so they don't ostracize you nearly as much as they would a white guy or something.
Chase Williams
Christ, nevermind. You were right to move.
Bentley Perry
I mean, if you ask me, if he already lived in the states he could just moved up north, south or eastwards if a better quality of life was the only goal, it's probably cheaper too. But I guess he wanted to live in Japan for personal reasons.
Jackson Cooper
Japs don't have a monopoly on drawing big eyes and dagger chins and they don't have a genetic requirement to do so. I don't know what's so amazing about it.
Lincoln Miller
What is TLMC.
Robert Butler
That he's really good at a unique style Plenty of Japanese fan artists drew in unique styles but this guy is just really, really good imo Something about his art just clicks with me. I'd love to see him illustrate for children's books.
Eli Morgan
Congrats for the #100 thread.
Chase Green
Why are there so many finnish Touhou fans? Is there just a shortage of cute girls over there? Or does gensokyo remind them of the good old days of being a poor Russian colony?
Luke Richardson
Finland is a very strange country is all, from what I've seen on this website, the assholish characters probably remind them of their own interactions and they find it hilarious.
>Does gensokyo remind them of the good old days of being a Russian colony From what I know a fin would probably stab you for saying that.
Josiah Hernandez
>Reimu uses cheap surplus rifles from the 1940s that eats even cheaper corrosive ammunition It's funny enough that I can actually see it happening.
Andrew Scott
You buy yourself a mausoleum and get buried with all of your merch
Leo Thompson
Will he be revived as a girl in Gensokyo?
Chase Hall
Good morning 2hug. In celebration of our 100th thread and the fangames pastebin 1000 unique views, I've decided not to be lazy for a few dozen minutes and give it a much needed update. Let me know what you think. pastebin.com/Jc2e0wLm
Changelog: - Added a proper description for Mystical Power Plant - Added a proper description for Dissapering of Gensokyo - Fixed a spelling error involving The Last Comer, turns out I had it spelled as The Last Corner - Added a good estimation of play time to every single game - Added a patch link for Touhou Houkyoutabi - Added more info on Mystical Chain and how to get the true ending - Added a download link on Ephemeral Unnatural Balance - Added a translation link for the three Ido games, The Last Comer, Mystical Power Plant and Riverbed Soul Savor
Charles Sanchez
Real quick if you could, for FMW mention that the play time is an estimate for only playing one of the routes and not both of them.
Ayden Rivera
I have to go now, I'll be back in a few hours but I'll be sure to mention in it that's how long Marisa's routes for all three games take.
Jose Taylor
>- Added a good estimation of play time to every single game
woah
Isaiah Johnson
I wouldn't mention a specific route, just say "Doing both routes in these games can easily double your play time" or something similar.
Kayden Carter
No, he'll just be a dead guy with a bunch of touhou figurines buried with him. One day in the distant future, archaeologists will unearth his crypt and he will be laughed at one last time.
Jace Morales
I'm going to FUCK Reimu! I am going to FUCK her!
Mason Thomas
No you aren't.
Oliver Wilson
First you gotta go to gensokyo, then convince her to fuck. Both of which seems difficult. But shit user if you can do it, god speed to you my man.
