I prefer 90s shmups, like Toaplan, Taito, Raizing, so while i am not a huge fan of bullet hell, there is some enjoyment had.
Cave is a top-notch producer, whose levels are often varied, lots of fun, with great game mechanics to match.
Touhou games are just kind of boring - all the music sounds the same, the character art is laughable, and all the stages are the same - there's nothing really to hook me there.
I don't begrudge people their Touhou games, but it is hard to find any argument that can legitimize a preference for Touhou games over Cave games in terms of gameplay and fun-factor. Most people fall back to the Touhous themselves, or the music, or the fandom obsessed with lesbian shipping. Hey, more power to ya but DonPachi's a whole lot more entertaining than any Scarlet Devil or Imperishable Night.
I understand it's a one-man effort -ZUN works well with what he's got- but Cave is Ace.
@emperorIng360 Touhou is a bit more newbie friends. DDP can be absolute ball busting in terms of getting a 1cc, let alone the requirements for the 2nd loop. Cave has more budget and better design, but they're insanely unfriendly to newbies.
Don't listen to SaitoKojima, he's a liar and a bully. He's the one who started this madness to begin with.
Plus, he lied about his dead girlfriend, Yume who is not real. If you want to know the real history between me and SaitoKojima, I'll be happy to PMed you about it.
@OmgSuiseiseki actually cave games is harder then touhou, the bullet speed is much faster in CAVE games, and in Touhou, you can have a "second chance" when you die, as long as you have bombs. press the bomb button at the moment your character got shot, you will be resurrected and fire off a powerful version of your bombs.
see how easy touhou is? yea in CAVE games, you don't get that.
@jimmykudo1 The main reason why CAVE game are harder are not bullet speed but much less lives/bombs and the way they arrange bullets. Some small enemies fire bullets right towards the hitbox while bigger enemies spread bullets all over the place, blocking escape routes. Once the player makes a wrong move and lose control of the situation it's nearly impossible to get back control without using bombs.
@jimmykudo1 In most Lunatic levels of Touhou games the bullet speed is not slower than the bullet speed of first loop of Dodonpachi.
The second chance you mentioned is only in TH08 and costs two bombs instead of one(unless you only have one). Although you can also use bombs right before you get hit in other Touhou games, it's very hard to react in time.
@claruslupus it's not you found out playing Touhou to be interesting, it should be you found out challenging bullet hell manic shooters to be interesting
@claruslupus funny...I'm a Touhou fan who found this game out after searching some music for a while. I must say, I really want to play this game but I don't own an Xbox, unfortunately.
@claruslupus yeah I doubt it...been living in this city basically my whole life and I've never seen anything like this game....maybe Solar Assault or Aero Fighters 2 but that's it...those machines are gone by now
the ACTUAL father to danmaku is Recca. search it on youtube.

Musashi/HeroManX, but the nickname everyone calls him is "Musshi" cause he misspells his own name a lot.
Some faggot who literally follows me around on literally every website I go to and talks shit about old drama that happened years ago.
The guy's butthurt over a fanfiction he wrote that sucked, it got reviewed fairly and stuff, and he bawwwwwwwwwed over it.
So now he has a gay love for me and follows or talks about me EVERYWHERE.
