Why don't you get some friends, try? to get laid, do something besides going on 4chan to try and act like a pretentious shitdick. If you had anybody in your life who actually wanted to listen to what you had to say you wouldn't be doing this, and if you weren't a complete piece of shit you would realize that nobody is going to read your point of view you faggot. Just stop or kill yourself, either or is fine with me

If you think there will be any major changes, then you're wrong.
All that will change is:
1. dialog bugfix
2. sprite remaining bugfix
3. more stages
4. 1 or 2 spellcards changed

[Anonymous No.]

>>7230034
>ZUN must hate Marisa.
He probably does since her lasers no longer penetrate.

[Anonymous No.]

Things I like:
Kogasa out of fucking nowhere
So far the spellcards seem really tailored to each boss's character, as opposed to just "here's a buncha bullets."
New spirit system is actually fun, unlike UFO. I like that charging the boss is part of the game.
Normally I hate horizontal bullets, but I've really enjoyed some of these spellcards. Dodging feels fun again. Even some of the trash fairies end up making enjoyable patterns.
Unlike every previous Touhou game, this one doesn't seem bothered by my laptop's keyboard. The other ones don't like it when I move diagonally while shooting.

Neutral observations:
Just seems harder to gather lives.
Feels awkward focusing on Youmu.
Marisa's got lasers and missiles. Haven't played enough to get a feel for how powerful they are, but at least ZUN gives her a shot type that's fun to look at.
For a player as bad as me to make it through Hard after playing for about an hour, must be a bit easier.

Disapproval:
So far, music's pretty weak. Has that bland UFO kinda sound to it, which is weird considering how different the subject matter of each game is. Doesn't really seem connected to death, temptation, darkness, ghosts and zombies, or anything like that.
I started out on Youmu, so I thought Yuyuko's appearance at stage 1 was tailored to Youmu specifically and that we'd have a boss that changes based on the selected character. That'd be nice. But no, apparently she's just the stage 1 boss. Feels kinda weak. Also looks like she's lost both weight and tits.
The new bosses' designs don't thrill me.

Moe~

Yes, it's yamabiko moe~

Yamabiko is this spook that shouts back at you with your own voice in form of an echo, except unlike an echo proper, what comes back isn't what you shouted (So you can shout "Where is the Hakurei Shrine?" and your voice comes back as "Turn left from the big cedar tree and keep walking straight", shout "Thanks" and the echo would reply "No problem." and so on). I wonder what the fanon will do with her, I suppose she'll be the shy type who doesn't show herself and speaks to others with their own voices?

I like playing her because of her speed, and straight shots, it gives you more challenge as you won't be as much static as if you chose someone with homing shot, I don't play her for being the strongest, yet she can be the strongest if you know how to shotgun the spellcards, that's why she appeals to me.

Well going off the description, the Stage 3 boss (light green skin, holds her arms forwards) is a fucking zombie, so you better be.. thrilled. After all no one can resist the evil of the Thriller.

My prediction was right, we indeed got a zombie Touhou. Or more specifically she's a Kyonshi that just looks like a zombie. We don't know for sure since she doesn't have a sprite atm.

She also heals herself with the blue spirit things that pop out as you shoot her.
Also I liked the creeping kunai that speed up, like a zombie that's found prey.

She doesn't even have a sprite, I'd say it's safe to assume ZUN just banged his head on the keyboard to get in a technical excuse that she's a 3rd stage boss so that he could release the demo. Maybe the earthquake actually did slow him down, like he had family up there or was helping out with relief stuff.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7230064
You're not in the position to use irony.

He releases a free demo now and lets fans play it earlier than May while letting them test it and getting feedback at the same time. You could say this isn't the demo for Ten Desires, it's merely the beta version. The official demo is going to be released at Reitaisai.
So, essentially, you got a free promotion from regular pirate wanker to game tester. Do you feel a bit more grateful now?

I actually enjoy the direction taken by ZUN in TD. Kyouko works for the Myouren temple, Yuyuko and Kogasa pop up again, Sanae has stopped using her gods' powers and now relies on her own (Our little girl is all grown up now!) Having more connections between characters is definitely most welcome.

That aside, Miyako was apparently resurrected very recently, as a henchman. Will we get a necromancer Touhou at last?

[Anonymous No.]

>Yuyuko is a ghost princess who lives in the netherworld, and is a master of Youmu. 　　She doesn't have too much interest in divine spirits, but the direction at which the divine spirits are headed intrigued her a little. This direction was Myorenji, a temple that was just recently constructed. It was a place where people meditate to suppress their desires, but for divine spirits that is an essence of desires to be collected there, it sure did not look like a conduct that a temple should be conducting.
>It was then that she was postulating as such.
>Some humans were intruding her properties to investigate about divine spirits. After seeing them, she was relaxed that there was no need for her to do anything, and decided to continue with her flower viewing.

Yuyuko confirmed for plot-unrelated and not giving a fuck about it. I guess her Stage 1 cards are the equivalent of waving "hello" to the player

This game in general is very gloomy and dark (based on colour scheme and backgrounds not on dialogue) so Kogasa kind of sticks out to me as she's very brightly coloured and I would automatically associate her with a more happy setting. Though maybe that's just me.

Why is the art for TD so shitty?

IN had youkai team members as a gimmick, it's not going to happen again. Youmu is apparantly human enough to count, since she's the "human" half of her team.

You'd have been better off citing Yuka or Mima, but I doubt if a precedent from the PC-98 games would really matter at this point.

I was carefully trying to monitor what that was doing on a playthrough with her and it looks like it does about the same amount of damage as the individual bullets would have done separately, only more bunched up. Maybe if you hit with all the slashes it does a tiny bit more but that's not easy to do, or maybe I'm just not used to it yet.

Higher power = the slash things go for longer range and there's more of them, at most they travel up to nearly half the screen length.

It find it more useful for mopping up trash in the stage (it's pretty fun to use it for that actually and breaks a lot of waves into super easy mode by being able to wipe out whole rows at once), than it is for bosses, due to the range thing being kind of a pain.. even if you're just trying to slowly dodge the bullets you'll have just wasted that time then unless you get in close enough to unload the slashes, and it looks like the second stage boss has some cards specifically made to make that really annoying to do.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7230612

Other than that though I'm liking Ten Desires quite a bit, it just feels kind of..easy so far, the stages give you no trouble and bosses aren't particularly tricky, hell it could be easier than MoF at this point.

I'm really liking Miyako though, I think she's cooler than any of the UFO designs.

I actually finished it without dying on my first try with Sanae, I'm pretty proud of myself. It's definitely easier than the other games so far but I do think it's very fun to play. I don't fully understand the Trance gimmick yet but it's kind of cool.
The music is just amazing, the character art is pretty damn bad, the level design is really nice and the bosses are fun. All in all a good game and I'm very excited for the full release.

I'm kinda worried about this mechanic for getting lives.
It's not too bad when you're only faced with three stages, but with the way trance affects the value of life items, combined with how very infrequently you can activate it yourself AND the fact that you lose it all if you die...
I foresee this becoming a major pain in the ass.

[Anonymous No.]

This is I think the first main Windows Touhou game, where you don't make that high pitched eyyaahh sound when you die, you get a couple more seconds of ghost-mode (is the length of that determined by those little spirit things you pick up from dead stage trash?) and then you make a low, FM-synth sounding ooomph as your spirit-mode self blows up.

[Anonymous No.]

I've been playing, trying out Youmu. She's not as scary to use as I thought, reminds me a bit of playing Fairy Wars when I use her. I might actually stick with her. The only complaint I have is that Normal is super easy so far. I died once, although that was partially because I completely went wild with moving around.

Okay, so:

Divine spirits show up. Everyone heads to Yuyuko's place where she's like "fuck, let's cut this battle short because I'm hungry, go check out the myoren temple" So they go over to the temple and the new gatekeeper/cleaner Kyoko is like "uguu you guys we have no idea what's going onnn~" and so they go check out the cemetery for some reason where Kogasa has been living. Kogasa had been scaring tons of people and having a ballin' time until this fucking zombie showed up and tuk er jurb, so she goes over to get the gang to kill it for her. Of course, this gang being who they are, they flatten kogasa as well. So the zombie is defeated mid-thriller, and she has some unseen master out there.

Is that all pretty much what happens?

They're her spread shot this time around. A piercing spread shot would be crazy overpowered for stages.

Reimu's ridiculously good, in my play through with her the only time I died was on purpose at the end just to see what her spirit-self thing does.

It feels like the homing amulet got its power upgraded or something, because at full power you can basically chill in the corner and let the homing danmaku massacre everything. You can also easily finish off a boss too by just running away and letting the homing finish it off.

Her bomb sucks ass though. It seems like the best bomb is Sanae's, followed by Youmu's, followed by Marisa and then Reimu. Reimu's bombs often suck anyway so whatever.

Scoring system seems as if it'll be interesting.
I like some of the gimmicks the new bosses have despite the fact that they feel easy so far.
