I probably should not get into people mocking PCB, or other early games, but I mainly can't stand it. There are flaws, but PCB and the other games have several cool patterns, many great pieces of music and some interesting scoring systems, compared to, say, the newest game that should be the most polished. Okay, TD is not really - that - bad, it has it's flaws but also has several good points. Do you see where this is going?
And if the games seem to get too easy, as some people seem to state every now and then, try scoring: go break 2b in PCB and then think again about how easy it was compared to UFO lunatic 1cc. If you are not into scoring, try challenges, like unfocused movement, no bombs, or perhaps even nonvertical or some perfecting? Are you not interested in challenges either, or are you just plain lazy? Well, maybe you really should not post about how the game is too easy, boring and shitty since you were able to clear it by bombing every threatening pattern.
Lunatic 1cc is just a sip off the drink, and there is much more to the cup than just that. Sometimes the drink is not your kind, but you probably should not go tell other people who like the said beverage that it sucks, because you don't like it and your opinion obviously is greater to theirs.
Hrrrr enough is enough, I mostly try to remain silent about this stuff, but some attitudes seem to really anger me. I probably should do something about it, but yeah, enough raging and onto the topic.
You discussed easiest lunatics to clear? I think I know this one dude, who did UFO first, since they happened to like it. He did not play it for the fact that it was easy nor hard, he did not accomplish the clear to dickwave and show off. He did so, because he liked the game, he wanted to play it. It was the obvious pick to him. You should never play Touhou for showing off, you should never clear that one game since it's the only one left. You should play the game you like, you should accomplish your goals, not others. And when you work for stuff you like, or you want really hard just for yourself, even getting three seconds more into it will feel a bit good.
And getting far and eventually dying will always happen a couple of times. And it's awesome. The thrill, the knowledge of the fact that you do something you have never done before, the Rush. And the rush will come again on the next run, at the same point. It will feel good to die and start over again, just to feel the thrill again.
My latest achievements are mostly from IN, on easy mode. The mode of the game that really many people seem to laugh at. And you know what?
My latest personal achievement was 2.32b border team easy, it beat the goal I had set for myself. It felt better than any of my UFO clears.
Since I liked it.
Great job, BT! Most of this was not aimed at you, and keep up the good work!
