Danmaku...has changed.It's no longer about extermination, beauty or patterns. It's an endless series of proxy duels, fought by humans and youkai. Danmaku - and its consumption of 1CCs - has become a well-oiled machine.Danmaku has changed.ID-tagged fairies carry ID-tagged spell cards, shoot ID-tagged bullets. Shady drugs inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities.Border control. History control. Insanity control. Fate control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control.Danmaku has changed.The age of deterrence has become the age of control. All in the name of averting catastrophe from incidents of mass destruction. And she who controls the Spell Card Rules, controls Gensokyo.Danmaku has changed.When the stage is under total control, danmaku...becomes routine.
Why did everyone hate MGS4 at launch again?
>>51367186>The nadir of Kojima's resentment at not being a Hollywood movie director with the cutscene-to-gameplay ratio (especially following MGS3)>Retcon-heavy (like "Liquid" Ocelot)>Nanomachines as a plot device became comical>Even Kojima's dicksuckers were disappointed that it wasn't entirely their idol's original vision, since his dev team mutinied against him on certain decisions like Snake killing himself at the end
>>51367006How do you even ID-tag spell cards? Isn’t it already exclusive to the user only?>>5136718680% cutscenes, 20% gameplay. This is a bummer considering it has nice guns, level design and the stuff you can do.
>>51367006Danmaku... Danmaku never changes.The Scarlet Mansion waged Danmaku to gather slaves and wealth.The Hakurei built an empire from its lust for gold and territory.Suwako shaped a battered Youkai Mountain into an economic superpower.But Danmaku never changes.In the 21st century, Danmaku was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: Faith and money. For these resources, The Moriya would invade Old Hell, the Underworld would annex The Misty Lake, and the Human Village would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Gensokyo.In 2077, the storm of world Danmaku had come again. In two brief hours, most of Gensokyo was reduced to cinders. And from the ashes of Danmaku devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise.
