@PinClock@realesthosay It’s obvious we weren’t on the same wavelengths when it comes to “quality” here (specifically a bullet hell “””shmup”””, see CYGNI if you want to know why many great things don’t make a good shmup game like Touhou).
It’s better to move on
@PinClock@realesthosay Once again you fail to understand what I wrote.
I literally specified “””gameplay.””” Gameplay! If you have complaints about me exclusively specifying this then yeah I have no defense. But obviously you don’t even understand what you’re arguing now.
@PinClock@realesthosay I think you’re just obtuse as this point. I never said anything about “Touhou games are only gameplay” or “plot and background are irrelevant”. I said “gameplay are the UTMOST important aspects of all” and yes it’s an universally agreed opinion for anyone who understand shmup.
@PinClock@realesthosay Gameplay =/= Game.
Reason I have to differetiate things were because music commentary were supplementary stuffs in a corner that do nothing to the actual gameplay. Please read carefully before reply thanks
@PinClock@realesthosay It’s clear to me that you don’t even understand about the subject you’re talking about that is shmup. S. H. M. U. P. if you think plot is as relevant as gameplay (it’s still a good element but it don’t even come close to gameplay)
You only care about whether it used AI or not.
@PinClock@realesthosay Yeah yeah now show me one single commentary about AI during the gameplay (and no music commentary don’t count since that’s subtext)
@PinClock@realesthosay And before you even argue “but it’s still an aspect that’s infinitely worse” need to remind you that 16.5 and 18.5 were the entire circus of copy paste (like literally everything)
@PinClock@realesthosay Once again the background was but one aspect of game designs. GenAI usage making things “infinitely” worse was also a personal bias based on how it’s a bad tool to the world according to you, not an actual design philosophy.
I know Touhou isnt nieche but I feel like the Touhou fandom doesn't understand why the Zun touhou games are really good, I don't see enough discussion on how damn good these games are. Like why isn't there a 10 hour video essay glazing Subterrenean Animism and how effective it is
@PinClock@realesthosay If being adamant about his AI usage and the political commentaries that don’t even appear in the game but a subtext in his interviews are “game’s quality” then we should stop arguing
@PinClock@realesthosay What you’ve been adamanting about was how Zun’s usage of AI was being harmful & ingenuine to his reputation and the fans following him that might kickstart a butterfly effect, not how the game would be affected
@PinClock@realesthosay https://t.co/ojhf5PrZ3G
Most of the commentaries stuffs only come from Zun’s interviews and print works (of which he has been doing “boldly” ever since Magical Astronomy). Otherwise his games are just your average bullet hell shmups, of which gameplay is of utmost important
@PinClock@realesthosay Moreover the commentaries on AI was only a discussion if you focus on Zun’s interview anout FW. In the actual game it’s pretty much just a shmup with almost no coherent play testing that accidentally became good due to hyper mechanic
@PinClock@realesthosay I mean if you found ripping-off ideas and assets from your older games and lazily slap them together were not as bad as using AI for one single aspect then sure
@PinClock@realesthosay Moreover the commentaries on AI was only a discussion if you focus on Zun’s interview anout FW. In the actual game it’s pretty much just a shmup with almost no coherent play testing that accidentally became good due to hyper mechanic
@PinClock@realesthosay But gameplay and mechanics are what really evaluate the quality of a game the most, especially in a genre like shmup. If you had played previous entries you’ll notice that his game always had a sprinkle of political commentaries ever since MoF.
