lol

I only played the first one, and the thing that struck me was that I kept wanting to fast-forward through the conversations to get to the gameplay, but then when I got to the gameplay I found myself wishing I could fast-forward through that too.

It felt like a game that had the potential to be fun, but the fun remained theoretical and I stopped waiting to see if it would ever materialize.

It's like the designers went around asking a bunch of people who didn't know or like anime "hey what do you imagine an anime game would be like, and why would you hate it" and then they used the answers as their design document.

The only thing I really enjoyed about touhou games is how impressive even the very basic dodging looks to someone who's not used to bullet hell games.

My friends thought I was an absolute master for a little while

I think there's an entire class of games like that, where you get better by sort of training your brain to "see" it the right way, and I find most of them a lot of fun to get better at.

I don't know if there's a name for these, but Osu is like that. Super Hexagon is like that. Beat Saber is like that, where high-level gameplay just looks like an impossible blur of swordsmanship until your eyes learn to see sequences instead of trying to interpret cuts one at a time.

Even Go is like that, in a slightly different way, where you learn to see patterns better.

We used to talk about that playing Tempest in the arcade, back in the day -- what are you looking at? Where were you looking? Where you were looking was a big factor in why you died at a high level in that game

Cave (company name) shooters are all great, I like them more than the touhou games even though they're less intricate.

I just love how the obvious evolution of the bullet hell genre was to replace all the spaceships with anime girls.

Replacing all the bullets with anime girls would have been a step too far
