Well, its not bound to be the case for everyone but most people seem to have problems with the Easy card while having no problems with the Normal mode card.K.B. wrote: Not in this thread, far as I recall. Regardless, that's debatable. I've captured easy without much trouble, but I've yet to capture normal.
Playing for score can be cool at times but it often requires a boatload of memorization of even easy stages to get a reasonable score and that's often time I either don't have or would rather spend on playing something else. Instead I, like you, prefer trying to 1cc stuff and perfect stuff. I enjoy playing Touhou's bosses but the reason you see me complaining here is that the stages are getting far too easy and too slow paced. This makes the trek towards another go against the boss a tedious hurdle that drives me insane. In addition, when you are a person who likes to perfect stuff, you prefer if the bosses are actually capable of putting up a fight.I don't get playing for score (possibly an extension of my suckiness at shmups), and I'd rather rise to the challenge of 1ccing or perfecting. So I can only guess at the accuracy of the detailed posts defending the scoring aspects of Touhou (*cough* certain games therein). But I don't understand the criticisms of Touhou's difficulty. If the games are too easy and you're not interested in perfecting, not interested in scoring, or not intrigued by the given scoring system, then why multi-post? You're either not interested or it's beneath you, right?
The reason I haven't pulled the plug on this series is because of all the great content it has. What I'm complaining about here is the bad stuff.
