Source?

>>9209992
I'm starting to reach that conclusion
But it's hard to ignore it just like that when in Japan they have stores dedicated completely to it.

>>9210024
Because it has little girls in it. Japan loves little girls, weeaboos like little girls and pedophiles like little girls.
And if you don't happen to like little girls you got your, mature girls, big tits girls, big ass girls. Seriously no one would give a shit about Touhou if it weren't for the female cast.

Because the characters are easily relateable because they are fundamental personalities that people can relate to. Being able to relate to it is a big thing.

>>9210047
>if it weren't for the female cast.

That explains so much more than touhou

the music is also really nice!

>>9210105
>>9210087
Well that is true.. there should be a horror loving character then, or atleast a music obsessed one.

>>9210087
What personalities?

it has a charm that only a series of games made by one alcoholic can have.

>>9210139

They don't relate to your hobbies, nerd.

Don't bother duder. There's much better things to waste your time on.

Because the main cast are terrible people

Reimu is an uncaring drunken hobo
Marisa is a thief and a psycho
Everyone else is immortal and therefore bored to insanity, willing to kill and terrorize to belay their crushing empty lives

And they all have the power to burn entire cities to the ground, if it weren't for booze and tea they'd have killed each other long ago.

Also hats and hat accessories.

>>9210193

and they are gay which is the worst sin.

>>9210196
Truly, they are worse than Hitler.

>but it just seemed like a regular old schmup, so I tossed it in the back of my mind.

Should read:
>I'm such an entry-level weeaboo from /a/, no one at the high school anime club talks about it so I wasn't interested

You know I'm right. Get out, kid. The jig is up.

>>9210256
COOL GUY.
You must get all the bitches because you know about everything about Touhou.
Everyone respects you, Mr.Badass.
yur so kewl

>>9210256
You seem awfully offended about your regular old schmup being called a regular old schmup.

>>9210366
gb2 Sankaku Complex XD

>>9210366
Lame snark and shitty images from other boards won't get you anywhere here. Try /b/ or /soc/ for something that might fit you better.

>>9210366

i respect him more than you

It's the silly hats.

It worked for Touhou, it worked for TF2, silly hats will save anything.

>>9209987
>So please, enlighten me, what seperates touhou from all the other schmups?
Slower and more colorful patterns.

OP just to let you know, you are a huge asshole. Thanks.

I'm just going to give in and try it later for myself.
There's really no escaping Touhou.
But atleast I'll know for sure if it's worth it. rather than ignore and ask the myself the same question everytime.

>>9210366
> Doesn't know all important/esencial things about a game.
> Criticizes said game.
> 2011+1

Let's see... Touhou is a normal Shoot'em up with some special things.
1: It's creator is a one-man Doujin circle, who cares about his creation and does all the things on his own.
2: Zun the creator is really dedicated to his creation. He makes the games with love in mind not money.
3: He gives almost total liberty to the fans to create content about Touhou.
Sometimes he even works with artists to make backstory mangas. Said works are usually considered canon.
4: Entire girl cast (in the games), enemies, bosses. friends.

Those are the main points I see as really unusual that make Touhou good in some sense. The games aren't really challenging compared to some of the newest, but you can enjoy it if you know how to.
Last:
> but it just seemed like a regular old schmup
> Implying that's a bad thing.
Some of the best games of the human history are really old or they have a really old school style, deal with it,you 12 years old brat.
PS: this thread smell like /a/ so much...

>>9210414
I'm sorry, I just didn't know what I had.
Please come back, you're all I have.

Sincerely, OP.

>>9210478
You smell like third-world.

>>9209987
you just reminded me of this video that explains touhou fandom in a silly way, but some things makes sense.

>>9210478
..Okay well, firstly, I didn't criticize it.
If anything all I've done is given what my perspective is from as far as I know, and that doesn't even show in the post you referenced so good job.

Secondly, me saying it looked like a regular old schmup, was me saying "Why does it have 20,000+ images on Danbooru, Stores dedicated to it in Japan, all over /jp/, etc. if it doesn't differ much from other schmups"
I'm just curious why it has a huge ass fan base.
So hop off my dick, you ignorant fuck.

>>9210482
First time on 4chan and you already have a trip?
awesome start.

>>9210538
>easy mode
>150 2hus are sooo hard to remember like wtf lol
>Pokemon Gen 1 had just as much
>/jp/ are assholes
>i'm cool and I appeal to the normals who can't think on their own

>>9210557
who are you quoting...?

>>9210538
That's it.
I'm playing it.
I can't believe there are conventions just for it.

>>9210545
You don't understand, I loved her.
She was the one.

If you end up becoming a fan do everyone a favour and go to other touhou community sites where people will gladly suck your dick for your opinion

>>9210571
come back when you have beaten Mokou on lunatic

>>9210538
Ok I laughed like a idiot at cat-handed ZUN

ZUN emphasized the boss battles and wrote unique themes for all the characters. The scoring system also is good at encouraging competition and can keep the games entertaining for a long time. If you want to understand more about why the Touhou games became popular you should read some of ZUN's ideas on game design. Unfortunately most of the stuff he said about game design is untranslated (good thing you have rikaichan).

>Beat Mokou on Lunatic
Mokou is Extra Stage boss
