Well, this is coming out in less than a day. Who else is going to buy it right away?
>>315496150
not me because I'm a casual with shit reflexes so I only play AAA easy shit and turn based games
>>315496214
Replace AAA with Visual Novels and you have a perfect description of my scrub ass
Not for me.
"Bullet hell from the masters" implies that it's going to be a very difficult game. Wings of Vi pushed my shit in immediately after the tutorial and I never got anywhere with it. Didn't find it very fun.
>>315496214
>>315496418
This is the perfect time to gitgud then. Mushisam is not even hard on original difficulty.
>>315496150
i'll buy it but it depends on how much they're charging for it
Mushihimesama Futari is the better game, specially the black label version.
There's also Eschatos to play.
>>315496461
Cave shmups aren't difficult per se. Rather, they're games that don't imply any progress until you've gotten good. They use this old-school arcade philosophy where you're supposed to play a couple of minutes to see how long you'll last, as opposed to the home console design philosophy of being expected to beat the game.
The mistake people make when playing shmups is thinking that they're not getting the experience when they lose. But that's the experience. If you're entering the scoreboard, if you're beating your highscore, you're doing good. After ten games you will have populated the scoreboard with your own "default" results. Play the game again and see how you do related to your own scores. Is it a new #1? Good fucking job. Is it #7? Try harder, because you've been able to be #1. As long as you steadily keep besting your scores, you're winning, even if you still can't get past stage 3 (which you will, bit by bit).
And the games open up so much. First getting to the next stage is a major challenge. Then getting to the end and beating it. Then beating both loops. Then beating loops while maximizing the scores, utilizing scoring mechanics, finding the rhythm that keeps multipliers up, finding new techniques to string enemies throughout levels in order to always earn max score etc. etc. That's the true gameplay. Of course, it's nothing like playing a home console game end to end and watching the end movie, then doing some extras.
>>315496150
Saidaioujo or go home Cave
>>315496461
Wings of Vi is shit, it's just hard for the sake of being hard with all the thought being how they can make it harder instead of how they can make it challenging or fun.
You are right though, Mushihime-sama is pretty fucking hard. One of Cave's hardest games.
They really should have released DoDonPachi first.
I'll check for a thread here to see if the port is any good. If it is I'll buy.
>>315496530

>>315496530
>The current plan has Mushihimesama at 20 USD, with a 25% launch discount setting the initial price to 15 USD for the first week. V1.5 will cost 5 USD, also with a 25% launch discount, so 3.75 for the first week. Finally, there will be a special promotion for the Mushihimesama OST: It's 5 USD normally, but if you purchase the game in the launch week, you can get the OST for free!
>>315496150
Just emulate
>>315496150
Nice to see Modoka can still find work.
They should be selling the games that can't just be emulated in MAME at this time. Mushihimesama has been in MAME for years.
>>315499401
That's clearly too much boob to be Madoka.
>>315499560
They promised new games if things go well for them in the stream
>>315499401
mushihimesama came out years before madoka mr. "i started watching anime in 2012 xD"
>>315496461
It's a difficult game, but a very rewarding and fun one
i will pirate it
>Mushi emulates like shit
>Arrange mode was never in arcades and will never be in MAME
>Same with Novice mode
>There are people that will still be retarded enough to emulate it
>>315499560
>years
Only a few. And the slowdowns fucked up.
I got so dissapointed once I learned bullet hell/danmaku are all about learning patterns nd simply doing perfect execution of such.
Zero quick time reflexes as outcome is pretty much always the same.
It is basically extreme SSS tier Simon Says.
>>315499678
Have you heard of this new thing called "Humor"?
I heard it's all the rage, you should try it.
>>315496150
I'll pick it somewhere next month, was saving for it but in the end picked ikaruga
Come on, it was Ikaruga
>>315499560
This is the HD version which has higher definition sprites, borders, and AFAIK the 1.5 ver has never been made available before outside of a limited edition 360 release. Plus it actually saves your fucking scores, and I think it also has online scoreboards and online coop.
Not to mention emulation is not an excuse, not any more than piracy is.
>>315496150
>no price tag before release
I'll buy it if it costs max 10€, otherwise I'm going to wait for a sale
>>315500069
The people porting it have already stated in numerous places what they expect to charge.
>>315500272
$20 for a years old port on a platform full of people who might have no idea what schmups are (steam)
not a good idea
>>315496150
You get the game's OST for free if you buy it the first week.
>>315496530
1485円 for the base game+OST.
1860円 for the base game+OST+1.5.
>>315500384
Shmups is the best place to sell shmups nowadays though. I seriously hope you faggots are gonna buy this game as it's a precursor to seeing more Japanese games on Steam.
>>315500601
I'm gonna probably buy it, yes
>>315500724
Seriously though. CAVE is shilling the game heavily in Japan too. If they can continue releasing games on Steam we can be sure the Japanese userbase on Steam will increase as a result. Which in turn means others devs might be interested in putting their Japanese games on Steam due to increased Japanese gamers.
>>315500943
let's hope so
I would like a rerelease of original dodonpachi
>>315499802
Do not feed the tripfag.
I'm so hyped, can't wait to try 1.5
Thank god.
Just in time. These newer CAVE games are getting optimized for MAME very soon. (or were going to be, but not anymore because of this)
I'd rather buy these real ports with online leaderboards and such. Thank god this happened. THANK GOD.

>>315496826

>>315496150
I'm good at 2hu and it's slow congested bullet mazes not fast twitch shmups. CAVE games rip me a new one.
>>315501197
The reception was pretty good in Japan. Hopefully it does well. I've never played the game so I'll be buying it. Hopefully we'll get Deathsmiles as well.
Are there any "cooperative" online bullet hell/shmups?
>>315496461
Wings of Vi is pretty shit, don't feel bad

Mushihime is also "infinite continues" except for score attack and arrange mode which give you only one.

god damn it
>>315496150
I feel like this is 10 years too late, now that Touhou and emulators have become really popular.
>>315503202
Much harder, Touhou is my favorite shump, but not because it's hard. As far as bullet hell shumps go Touhou is actually on the easier side. If you want a bullet hell that will really kick your teeth in then play a CAVE game.
>>315507728
Is this game harder than Ikaruga?
>>315496150
What kind of Shmup is this?
It prioritizes:
-Grazing?
-Point collecting?
>>315496826
so is this a good game for beginners to get into shmups? i have slow reflexes and sometimes have a hard time figuring out patterns
>>315507960
Much. Ikaruga is barely a step above Touhou in difficulty.
>>315508115
Shooting things makes the counter go up. Higher counter = more score. When you're not hitting something, the counter drops. Also there's some sort of weird tapping bullshit to crank the counter up to retarded levels.
>>315508423
Novice mode is pretty easy.
>>315507432
Didn't know. It was interesting but the RPG elements kind of ruined it. Enemies became damage sponges forcing you to grind, and it had a stamina system.
>>315499798
You've been playing the wrong games mate.
>>315496150
I'm super excited since I'm a PC faggot and never get these types of games. But with the recent releases of Ikaruga, Crimzon Clover and now Mushihimesama the future is looking pretty bright. I never thought I'd see Cave games on PC, hopefully Mushihimesama Futari also comes out.Emulating just is not the same thing
>>315509063
Deathsmiles is probably next.
Did they remix the music for the PC release? I was watching some stream yesterday and the music sounded slightly different from the arcade/PS2 release.

>>315510010
It makes me laugh how ignorant anime faggots think Touhou is the holy grail when it's seen as a joke by shmup communities. That's why people hate you all. Touhou fandom is not about the average gameplay, it's about everything surrounding it. Basically a fanbase consisting of piratefags (who are not allowed to borrow their mom's cc to buy games) and moe-fags.
It's not about CAVE just producing better quality games in every way. It's just Touhou being completely average, but everything surrounding it and the fanbase being basically the worst thing ever.

No it's not a joke. Touhou games are mediocre at best. Nothing noteworthy at all. There's a reason none of them are critically acclaimed. There's a reason every time someone mentions that shitty series you can only get 2-3 post deep before people start jerking off about the characters and not talking about the game.
Barely anyone actually gives a shit about the games. People play them for five min, just so they can say they did. Then they go on to shitpost about garbage that's not related to the gameplay.

>>315511720
I doubt it's the DOJ port, 5pb have the license for that and the WL code was stolen from PS2. It's more likely Daifukkatsu or Saidaioujou.
I'll need to pick it up at some point.
I'm pretty casual, but I enjoyed Death Smiles and Espagaluda on mobile. CAVE stuff is pretty fun even if you're not skilled enough to do it on the tougher difficulties.

>>315511720
Which games were the most popular in the west? Clearly from this interview they seem to imply they will release the most well-known games. I feel that Deathsmiles might be next as they've been posting quite a lot of pictures from the game on both facebook and twitter. It seems to be really popular in Japan at least as the characters keep appearing in their mobage too.
>>315511901
The only shitposting here is you.
>>315511901
I've seen way more discussion about the Touhou games than any other shmup.

Wriggle is a shota. Don't trust the artist who draw him as an adult woman.
>>315512070
>that's a girl
How would you know. With the way 2hu works right now, thinking she's a girl will make it more likely that she's a boy
>>315512038

>>315512219
>>315512229
Zun has said that the only characters in the games are girls.
>>315512009
Nah, go to any shmup community. People don't think Touhou is anything special.
>>315512070
What is wrong about it?
>>315512218
Rrrrright and why is that? That's not a real question, don't bother responding.
>>315512384
That can't be right. Unzan is a boy
>>315512451
well, most of what you said is an opinion. but they are widely acclaimed, people actually do talk about the game, and a shit ton of people love the games, and no one plays this kind of game for only 5 minutes unless they play lunatic on their first time and give up because it's too hard.

Some people talk about the game, sure. That's not why they are popular. If you think Touhou is popular for having good gameplay, I don't know what to say, mate.

>>315513037

No
>>315513658
You haven't made a single point ITT, it's all your own subjective opinion of Touhou.
>>315513658
every single one of your points are blatantly incorrect
What's "1.5"?
>>315514028
A new version of the game with different scoring and a MAX mode that gives you fullpower from the start but also makes the game harder. The game's color pallete is also more blue and it has a different soundtrack.
>>315513727
It's a popular opinion among shmup communities that Touhou is a mediocre casual shmup. Touhou fans are not in it for the gameplay.
>>315513745
>>315513797
That's not true. You can state you don't agree with my opinions, but my points are not incorrect. When people talk about critically acclaimed shmups, no one is gonna bring up Touhou.
>>315514028
A rare different version of Mushihimesama with some revamped stages.

do you have any sources to back up these claims?
>>315514413
>When people talk about critically acclaimed shmups, no one is gonna bring up Touhou
No one is saying Touhou is critically acclaimed. Touhou is popular and people discuss it, it does not need to be critically acclaimed to be talked about. But you are saying that no one likes it or talks about the game just because you hate it. You're just spouting bullshit.
>>315514598

I'm saying Touhou is not popular because of the gameplay. I don't think Touhou is "shit" just completely average and not worth mentioning in shmup discussions. I don't hate Touhou at all, just the die-hard fanbase.
>>315496150
Wake me up when it's Ketsui or Ibara.
>>315514705
all of them
>>315514890
I dunno. Ask yourself that.
Do you like shooting games? Do you like challenge? Do you want to put money towards getting more of these games on Steam? Mushihimesama is among the best there is.
I feel like a casual because I don't really like CAVE shooters.
I couldn't handle Dondonpachi and Mushihimesama because I felt like the non bullet effects were just too over the top and distracted me from the actual danmaku. Maybe I'm like super cripplingly ADD or something but I just couldn't deal with it.
Deathsmiles was kind of butt though apart from the giant cow boss.
>>315514931
>They are popular in niche communities, that are not shmup communities.
You're saying that like that shmup games aren't already incredibly niche.
>>315510583
I feel as if I've read your post before. I'd check the archives but of course those have to be dead. This is some copypasta, right?
If I liked Crimzon Clover, will I like this?
I go into Touhou threads to talk about the games. Seems they're more interested in posting art of girls and jerking off over manga/art books/other non-game media to explore the games themselves.
At least Cave threads stay on point.
>>315514890
It's like 2 bucks more to buy everything over just the game+OST.

Guys, if I buy an arcade stick, will it help with SHMUPS? Or is keyboard or a controller as good?
>>315515364
You have not because I just typed it out for the first time.
>>315515509
Precisely my point. I don't have a problem with Touhou itself just everything surrounding it and the fanbase.
>>315515494
Crimzon Clover is basically a love letter to Dodonpachi. So you'd probably like it.
>>315509774
Touhou games are actually fun. It's just you have to ignore the community. ZUN makes good games and great music. I don't care about anime girls. The story is fun, the music is good and the shooting is exciting. I don't need more than that.
>>315515675
keyboard is best
I personally wouldn't call all touhou games mediocre. Some of them are pretty good. My only complaint is that the in-game aesthetic in most games looks cheap, which I don't even hold against the series, as its a given.
>>315515686
>Precisely my point.
you could have said that from the beginning without shitposting and none of these arguments would have happened
or maybe you just don't say it at all, this thread isn't really about touhou

>>315515509

>>315515762
Giana Sisters games are actually fun. It's just you have to ignore the community. They are good games and have great music. I don't care about cave girls. The story is fun, the music is good and the platforming is exciting. I don't need more than that.
>>315515509
This varies from time to time, sometimes you can have discussion about the games but often it gets filled with secondary shitters.

I still have my old console port to play, should be good enough.
>>315515494
Yes.
If you don't want to spend 20-30 USD go pick up Cho Ren Sha 68K:

That's funny, I think the exact same thing about Touhou. The backgrounds are insanely obtrusive with really annoying glowy effects, it doesn't help that ZUN is a faggot that sometimes makes the colour of the bullets match the background.
>>315516194
Well, maybe you should spell it out then?
>Touhou faggots infesting this thread
>>315516497
If Giana Sisters was the only platformer you played, of course you would think it was the gold standard and better than Super Mario Bros.
>>315516616
I did play Super Mario Bros too.
>>315516506
I'm more a salty shmup fag than a Touhou one. I just like to shitpost in their threads with Hellsinker.
>>315516360
>complaint about cave
>response is about touhou
Bravo
>>315516616
Nowhere did his post state he never played other shmups. Just that 2hu isn't complete shit like its made out to be if you only look at the games.
>>315516506
they weren't before someone brought it up
>>315516360
I think Cave and Touhou games do a great job of distinguishing the bullets from the background. Cave often use a single color through the whole game for this. Touhou use more varied colors but they're always a different color from the background, or outlined in some way to make them stick out. Except for the latest Touhou game, ZUN fucked up really badly there.
>>315516616
Kinda an odd analogy. I'm certain anyone who's delved into the platformer genre has played at least one mario game.
>>315516921
and touhou 5 stage 4
everything is blue, especially if you are playing as mima
>>315499798
>I got so dissapointed once I learned bullet hell/danmaku are all about learning patterns nd simply doing perfect execution of such.
Doesn't that describe most challenging games, more or less?
>>315496150
already got it on ps2
It reminds me how my 360 is a shmup only console
>>315516175
/jp/ is a touhou containment board. It's only alright to mention Touhou in passing, as a comparison in terms of game mechanics, or in reaction images anywhere else. If you aren't discussing the core games you can fuck off. If you want to talk about anime/ manga shit you can go to /a/, where they will tell you the exact same thing because nobody wants toe hoe shit on their boards.
>>315517316
Pretty much. Describes all challenging single player games other than puzzle games and games with too much randomness.
>>315517369
>tfw paid over $100 for my copy of Mushihimesama Futari because it got stuck in customs
Probably only played it for like 3-4hours total as well. It's not that I didn't like it. Just so many times I can play a shmup before I stop enjoying it as much.
I play Crimzon Clover on keyboard and doing okay. Is using the sticks or d-pad on a controller a better idea?
>>315499798
>I got so dissapointed once I learned bullet hell/danmaku are all about learning the game, and getting good at them.
FTFY.
>>315496826
10/10 post. I love SHMUPs but I never saw them in this perspective
also explains why it took me a year to get to Ikaura stage 3
If more Cave games gonna come out I'm getting a vertical monitor.
>>315517642
The feeling is different for everyone but you should definitly give it a try yes
>danmaku hells on steam and /v/ is not hyped
Do you hate fun?
>>315517642
Its all about comfort, really.
>>315518158
>tfw the game flops and CAVE stays on mobile forever
>>315517490
>you are not allowed to discuss other things than gameplay and reaction images on /v/
By this logic vidya music thread goes on /mu/, lore on /lit/, art on /c/ etc etc
>>315518158
Shmups are just starting out on Steam. It started with shitty western games and now we got Ikaruka last year I believe, and now CAVE joins the party. I'm pretty fucken hyped nigga.
>>315510583
>the fanbase being basically the worst thing ever
I have no idea what you guys consider to be a good fanbase or not.
I find the Touhou fanbase to be incredible. It has produced massive amounts of music for me to enjoy, fangames out the ass in almost literally every genre imaginable and a bunch of high quality doujins if I ever feel like reading more about a characters, even if it is just what-ifs scenarios.
Fuck, I wish my favorite games had a fanbase half as dedicated as Touhou has. Even the western fanbase isn't that bad, see the Touhou Smash fiasco in which the guy who was fucking things up got completely told by every single Touhou western community site. More importantly though they have done fan translations for dozens of long fangames/doujins that I never expected to be translated at all.
I like Cave games and some other western STG games but the elitism surrounding these is terrible. "But my game is harder" is a terrible fucking argument. Just because Mega Man is harder than Mario doesn't make me not want to play both when I get in the mood for a good platformer.
>>315518158
Nowadays people don't care about gameplay. They just want an immersive experience with a story and some good music. Just look at all the casualized garbage being put out by the industry every year. I miss the days where A and AA developers flourished and we got amazingly unique and interesting games every month.
At least I can still enjoy myself by playing games released in the past. My backlog is still huge anyways.
>>315518343
Please be satire. Please be satire. Please be satire.
Why do people hate 2hu? I'm not really familiar with the topic, just played the games and didn't visit any weird internet forums outside that.
>>315518343
It's not the whole Touhou fanbase that's shit, it's the western fanbase that's shit. Think about it.
Where did the thousands and thousands of doujinshi come from
>Japan
Where did the fangames come from
>Japan
Hundreds, maybe even thousands of albums?
>Japan
Who holds all the World Records in the games?
>Japanese players
What did the west create? Fucking nothing, all they do is regurgitate whatever Japan creates and shitpost all day long. If you don't believe me, just visit any Touhou forum or the Touhou subreddit. With the latter being absolute horseshit.
>>315517490
>/jp/ is a touhou containment board.
nah
you can discuss non touhou stuff there and you can discuss touhou outside of it
All I want is these to succeed so I can say buhbye to my 360
>>315519041
doesn't that apply to almost every Japanese game though?
>>315509774
Shitposters like you are the MLP of 4chan.
How do I know for sure if a game is region free? I've been wanting to try out Bullet Soul for a long time now, the game looks pretty good
>>315520915
Play-Asia has a compatibility chart, which is what I usually go by.
>>315522194
>>315522306
Off by 1, for shame.
>>315522194
Fuck off SJW.
>>315517369
What a waste of title for a dead console...
>>315523269
Fuck off retard.
>>315520915
Bullet Soul and its sequel are RF. I think its the same case as DDP where the SE is actually region locked, but not the regular version. You're good. Game's a bit expensive though, it used to go for 30-40, now its 50 average.
Decent game though.
What version is this? I remember the 360 version included both original and 1.5. Cause if it's JUST the 360 without Arcade mode and no soundtrack, it might not be worth it if you already own a physical.
>>315499678
Well that's gross that you felt that you needed to correct that.
>>315524016
what do you expect from a tripfag
Not me
but I am going to get Kero Blaster the minute that shit drops http://store.steampowered.com/app/292500/
anything to keep studio pixel making shit
well, almost anything, because I ain't buying shit on fucking pixiv
>>315509774
>>315510583
Nice try but everyone knows Cave games are pleb tier in the shmup community.

sure thing buddy.
>>315524584
What shmup isnt pleb tier then senpai

>>315527446
I could only ever clear Original 1CC. Arrange is still pretty tough and God/Ultra are impossible beyond Stage 1.
Feels similar to Futari.
Fuck yeah it's finally here!
>Mushihimesama V1.5 "Matsuri" Mode is available separately as optional DLC. V1.5 is a remixed game mode with alternate music and mechanics.
>day 0 dlc
fuck this shit
>>315527024
Kill yourself you delusional sperglord.
>>315527589
I'm going to learn how to get an ultra 1cc. I haven't played Mushi or Futari yet but I think I can do it anyways. I'm just going to practice diligently.
>>315527801
Kill yourself woman.
>>315527958
>implying I'm a woman
Seek help, anon.
A shame psikyo and seibu kaihatsu shmups are getting shitty PC ports; Thank god for MAME though. At least we still got 8ing/Raizing and other developers to look out for

How was this? I have it on my wishlist, but I'd sooner get Mushihimesama and support Cave before some dodgy port.
>>315499798
every (non-shit) game ever
most games just aren't hard enough to merit memorizing
>>315528450
Just go back to eating cocks tranny cunt.I wonder who will get bored of that first.
>>315499848
You just convinced me, specially with online coop
>>315528545
Pretty lazy ports and the devs don't give a shit about emails. I tried emailing them about some bugs, they never answered.
