You, sir, are a buster.
I loled at the trolling of 2008. Some of it is true, some of it is hiliarity and some of it is utter bullshit. I'm a touhoufag, just not the annoying fanboy type related to narutard inbreeding experiments (and love things for all the wrong reasons). Real touhoufags grew up in the '90s when everything was made of pixels, awesome and difficulty.
what's a good shoot em up?

Not OP, but Thunder Force III is pretty fun. Also, I loves touhou.
My god I'm glad I never got into Touhou. I never realized how much they suck ZUN's cock.
Why does Touhou get all this attention and not Ikaruga?
>>7
Because Ikaruga doesn't have cute characters.
>>8
More to the point, Touhou is nine games for the PC (with another one coming every year) while Ikaruga is one game for the DC/GC that's approaching a decade old.
>>10
I was just opining that it's a far superior shmup.
>>11
Or just another generic shmup with only one redeeming feature?
Touhou has alot more fans because the creator is constant and actually gives the fans a little to work with. From there, the fans create new works and snowball the original creation.
Probably the bigger differences are that Touhou, unlike Ikaruga, has more variation (mainly characters and patterns, but also gameplay genres such as the fighting games and various fanmade games) and a strong/large community that can entertain its own members.
Also, I am >>8, but not >>10. >>8 wasn't serious, but it could be...
I like Raiden
I had heard a lot about touhou in the years, but neve played it until just recently. I fucking love it and skip the cutscenes. About the only thing I know outside of the game itself is yukkuri, but thats more because I love silly memes.
And >>1, really? It doesn't have a plot? There are TONS of games that dont have a plot that people love.

Man if there's one thing I hate about shooting games it's the Ikarugafags.
I really dislike Touhou's character design and story, but I must admit, the games are pretty fun and they have some really awesome bullet patterns. Too bad they always start with an extremely boring stage 1 though, it's such a waste of time to play through that first stage every time you die.
I've only played Imperishable Night, which is apparently one of the easier games of the series. I suck at the game. I suck at STG's in general. Despite sucking at STGs, I really like the genre...
