Game over on Kanako's final nonspell because I didn't bomb it, twice.

MoF Lunatic No Focus has a lot more autobombs than I thought it did. But I had a few deaths with bombs or just stupid stuff in general.

Aww, this could have been a great Fairy Wars extra (no pun originally intended) run, but I mucked up the end. I died three times on the stage in an attempt to beat it no deaths no bombs, but from Marisa on I didn't die until the seventh non-spell. I was at over 900% health on Blazing Star, when I GOT HIT BY MARISA. Then on Fairy Destruction Ray I ran into the first star bullet fired, then died two more times. :( I beat my high score, but only by about a million (no Baity I didn't save the replay so I can't SUBMIT).
nintendonut888: Hey Baity. I beat the high score for Sanae B hard on the score.dat you sent me. X3
Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

[19:42] <Sapz> I think that's the only time I've ever seen a suicide bullet shoot its own suicide bullet

Promptly failed a no bombs 1cc because I kept dying to EVERYTHING

I can't remember how to properly encode vids, so every time I try the quality of the vid is crap.

And yes, this was even after looking at the guide again. I don't even remember all the necessary codecs, how to change the bitrate in VirtualDub or anything.

I was 5 seconds away from possibly making my first capture of Scarlet Gensokyo (lunatic).
Damn curving EoSD bubble, went right into the only gap in the wall.

OTOH, a VoWG capture is always satisfying :).

With that few bullets on the screen?

Well... too bad about that Aquandescence. At least a regular 1cc allows bombs... (Waah MoF Lunatic no-bombs fail. :fail:)

I've reached below ten seconds remaining twice, the traumatic reflexes filled the rest of the screen with butterflies.

*Rant alert. The following is me bitching to kill off some frustration*

Geez. What a rude wake-up call. I just got reminded why i hated UFO so much.

95% shit. 5% quality game.

I want to do another timeout of Radiant Treasure Gun - one of the only quality spellcards in that game. Its hard and its fun. That is, would be fun if you could face it without sitting through a long ass stage comprised of nothing but bullshit and memorization.

Okay. The only thing bullshit in it is Nazrin, but my problem is that there is only a very short portion of actual gameplay. Nothing more. And that's referring to that part near the end where the fairies spam those red bullets. The fairies between Nazrin and the red-bullet spam are trivial so that means they are boring and the entire rest of the stage is one big memorization fest. I have that memorization down yes but its still boring as hell.

I just want to have a go at the good stuff but apparently you have to suffer to get through to it. Sigh. I want a japanese 360. Then i can finally get some new shmups that doesn't suck. Damn, there is no Touhou game existing that calls for spell practice like this one does.

*Rant over*

So, LLS is supposed to be the easiest Touhou?
Apparently not for me... somehow my eyes can't take the graphics and I die 5 times in stage 4.

« Reply #45 on: October 20, 2010, 04:00:17 PM »
Well, the graphics are pretty bad in LLS and MS so sometimes bullets can do their thing to blend in with the background. That's PC98 for ya.

"Insert long dragging speech, about how games should be made that's bound to spawn comebacks about how much i'm wrong and how much it's my own fault for playing a game when i know i don't like it to begin with, here."

It would be lovely if the choice wasn't between a hard mode that doesn't challenge me and a Lunatic mode that's harder than MoF/SA no-bombs lunatic for a broad variety of reasons i don't approve of. :)

what the fuck, I can't play touhou anymore. Too small unanimated bullets. Even Garegga bullets are crystal clear compared to this shit. Also controls feel weird

oh well, back to DOJ. It's easier...

Somehow, I also find touhou somewhat smaller to other shmups, and I have no idea why

PatriotDark is pretty "small" too, but it's awesome instead of annoying. Especially with custom musics...

Then again, RSG feels so big I can't ever do a serious run

Guys. Its because Touhou is about a crapload of very small bullets made so that one of them might slip past.

Obviously. Touhou is mostly about micrododge but there is always things like VoWG. Macrodoging ftw.

though some say macrododging is more "fun"...what the hell, who cares? Isn't all of this just for extending one's virtual schlong or what

Yes Banana, that's a very interesting statement. Given my huge amount of expertise with the Touhou series i can clarify that there is indeed situations in which you dodge and in which you don't.

If it is pre-UFO you read n' dodge. If you play UFO or GFW then you flail around randomly hoping not to get hit. And memorize a ton of crap. And play stages so painfully boring that you'll want to drill your own eyes out. That's one thing that Cave kicks absolute ass at when it comes to game design. Stages that aren't filled to the breaking point with "waiting-sections"
