What am I in for?
100+ hours wasted and regret
A three hundred hour long ride that's not worth engaging with because you've already seen the best parts of it online
>>738032881woke troonslop
>he fell for the memeOHNONONO
I played for 3 hours and gave up because it was confusing and the plot was not getting anywhere.
>>738032881tranny VN, but not really cause the tranny is not really a tranny as trannies are individuals who cut off their penises by choice, so the tranny is a fake tranny and therefore not a tranny.
I finished questions arc and currently dragging my feet on starting answers arc, sts2 coming out derailed me
>>738032881I wouldn't know
>>738033017LMAOOO TRUTH NUKE
>>738032881The manga is a better use of your time and tells the story without the million lines of filler dialogue that plagues every VN
>>738033161so you didn't even make it to the island?
>>738034186No. I don't have patience for this unfortunately
>>738032881It's the apotheosis 12/10 masterpiece ONLY for the most elite of weeb/litfag crossbreeds out there. There's a reason why it only garnered interest on niche forums while other VNs like stein;gate became more popular for it's wider appealing themes and accessibility. It's the Odysseus of VNs.
>>738032881psyop
Great characters, music, and an absolutely abysmal and unsatisfying "fuck you" ending
>>738033017says the retard who doesn't even know who Lion is
>>738032881Pure unadulterated kino. Just don't use the UP localization and make sure you play with manga gamer or witch hunt translation like a man.
>>738033218Why do you think of trannies so much?
>>738033237I found chapters 5 and 6 to be some of the best thus far, but 7 is filtering me hard
>>738032881I'm not "playing" this for 100+ hours when I could read the entire works of Tolstoy in the same time.
>>738035614I second this. All you miss out on is stuff like lipflaps which are more distracting than anything. Download 7th project mod which has most of the features of UP anyway.
>>738032881I dropped it about halfway in when I could start smelling the authors farts perforating through my screen
>>738035942i do not second this. do not use any mods and make sure to EXCLUSIVELY use the ryukishi sprites. the way ryukishi07 himself intended.
>>738035192>one of the most beautiful endings ever written>"fuck you" ending
>>738032881It's great, fucking amazing actually. Until the middle happens. That's where I dropped it because the author definitely had something happen to him behind the scenes where he turned a perfect mystery story into a rant about mystery readers. I refuse to read any further to preserve my good memories of parts 1-3
>>738036576>AKTSHUALLY IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT HAPPEND ON THE ISLAND THAT BOOK IS CLOSED!!!! YOU JUST DONT GET IT YOUR A GOAT!!!nah
what does umineko stand for
>>738037229it means seagull. the full title is umineko no naku kori ni, or, when the seagulls cry
>>738036649like midway higurashi when he decided to exaggerate his work in child welfare services in a long and realistic way
>>738037550Did he do that? I got lost with all the kids being sick in the head.
>>738032995fpbp
>>738037229Umi nekoObvious sea cat.
>>738037520I still wonder why the translations went with "[Thing] When They Cry" as a convention. "When the Cicadas Cry" and "When the Seagulls Cry" sound so much better as names.
>>738032881300 hour long kino
>>738035897>>>>TolstoyNot a whit of talent. Why would you subject yourself to that? Yes, it's better than Umineko - but most things are.
>>738038225superior marketing. then again the VNs both fail the buzz test by not using translated titles, and there was a never anything cool to highlight in red on the title in english so there's just a lame C instead.
>>738038345You're not intelligent nor cultured enough to speak of literary talent.
>>738035817Damn really? What’s giving you problems?
>>738032881The final boss in becoming a trve weeb
>>738038804>immediate resort to baseless ad hominemI pity you, I really do. To have such little taste as to believe that Tolstoy's overwrought, dull, and ultimately meaningless ejaculations upon the page are worth a man's ever-so-precious time - what sort of person could believe that?
>>738032881friendly reminder not to use the ps3 backgrounds or text box
>>738032881get ready for kinoslop
>>738032881Do you like detective fiction? If yes, then just stay away from this piece of crap. It establishes itself as a solvable, fair mystery in its first half, the proceed to break every rule in the book, mocks you (the reader) for even trying to solve the mystery and engage with the story where it’s at, and blatantly reveals that the author actually despises detective fiction and wrote this whole thing as his autistic manifesto against it. If the answer is no, then you may enjoy the anime nonsense and characters, despite the I-am-14-and-this-is-deep story and atrociously bad prose.
>This is the "intelligent" prose WTCtroons praise Ryukishit for
>>738040626Grim..Japan were right about that nigga he cant write
>>738040626つまり
>>738040626I want to be charitable and say the bad prose is a result of poor translation. But then I can’t imagine how lines like this sounded any less retarded in Japanese.
>>738036576It’s not beautiful. In fact, the ending is quite amoral, and promotes the message that wilful ignorance is superior to the truth because the latter might hurt people’s feelings.
>>738038225Because they wanted to keep "Umineko" and "Higurashi" for brand recognition, so instead of translating it they just turned both words into the title: Umineko: When They Cry, etc.
>>738039878Is there anything you would be missing out on by not playing the originals? They're too soulful to overlook but I'm not sure if the latter releases had exclusive content.
>>738041447voice acting but you can mod it in. there's no extra content.
>>738038890idk I guess the start/initial setup. After the intense ride of the recent couple chapters, that fresh start, new characters, and everything being "calm" feels off.
>>738032881I'm gonna name my kid Battler
>>738041447I think the re-releases added CGs to scenes the original didn't have any for.But PS3 VS modded PC version barely have differences besides some graphical changes.
>>738032881Absolute kino, I can say that for certain as someone who finished it 2 days ago.
>>738040626This chair
>>738042949I'm gonna name my daughter Beatrice.
>>738035614>Just don't use the UP localizationWhat's wrong with it?
>>738032881>Multiple anons actually spent all night fuming to make this thread and get the first posts
>>738032881Tranny game. No. Seriously. I'm not fucking with you or shitposting. Turn back.
>>738032881I'm gonna name my son Beatrice
>>738032881Really good story with some bad writing at points. It's worth powering through them
>>738032881worthless troonge hyped up by troons and the mentally ill
>>738043368>MultipleThis is my second umineko thread and it's already very obvious that it's a desperate schizo samefagging
>>738032881Uhm, this game is ackshually really icky and bad. It's like, really gross and problematic. It doesn't even mean anything. I read all the words and a lot of them are only there to trick you and characters lie constantly. Like WTF?
>>738032881Being spoiled on the plot twist because you posted a thread about it on 4chan before just reading it yourself, alternatively you're a troonineko fag using this disingenuous OP to fish for replies and attention.
>>738035192>>738036576you can't prescribe how satisfying or unsatisfying the ending is because it completely depends on whether you agree with the philosophy behind it. if you agree, it's excellent. if you don't, it's terrible. the only problem with umineko ending discourse is too many people are afraid to admit it's polarizing because it's so emotionally satisfying you feel like a contrarian fun-hater for dumping on it
Are all higurashi characters besides the protagonist, women?
>>738044414Waifu bait
>>738044414All of the main group. There are other recurring characters who are men.
>>738043416This. It will inevitably make you a fag because you WILL catch feelings for that one particular character. You WILL end up chopping your dick off in the end to cope with this fact.
>>738044531>>738044515Wtf
BT died and the series never recovered as no one was left to tardwrangle R07. And then R07 got mad people solved the mystery beforehand.
