LET'S PLAY UMINEKO, GOATS ( •̀ω•́ )

I want older main characters
kids/teenagers in Higurashi, young adults in Umineko, older adults MCs in the next WTC would be great

>>17214331
Agreed. The most interesting characters in Umineko were the parents. I don't think he'll go for a 30-something protagonist, but I do hope the cast is rich with older people/parents. They have much more backstory to them if done right

>>17214354
beato

>>17214354
I-I love you, Beato! P-please be my gf!!!

>>17214331
Older adults that look like lolis and we're talking

>>17214463
Lolis are no fun if they are actually mature and intelligent. I want a cute and dumbass tomboy in the next WTC.

I want to make disgustingly sweet love with Rosa.

>>17214354
Beato.

Am I the only one who has a bug(?) in my Umineko Chiru version, in some scenes near the end of some of the episodes the voice acting gets all high-pitched and weird, it fixes itself when that scene is over. Has this happened to anyone else?

>>17214331
I hope not, that would literally kill any chance of it being popular with Japanese audiences and the thing I care about the most in the new WTC is whether it makes 07thexpansion and Ryukishi back to his former glory, I would just enjoy seeing the creator of the stories I love so much be praised again.

>>17215328
Happened to one of the let's players in the middle of EP7

>>17215328
>>17215337
I think there is a patch for it, you have to replace some music files.

>>17215328
It happened to me, too. You have to replace some music file whose name I forgot. The fix is written somewhere in the wiki.

>>17215427
Oh, fuck it, here it is: http://uminekofix.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:14452

That worked for me.

>>17215328
What a beautiful picture, I've never seen that before.

>>17214354

beato??!!??

>>17214200

>>17217009

>>17217048
I miss the umineko screencap generator.

>>17217089
I saved like 80+ of those wew

I'm re-reading Meakashi and I have a question

Why is it that in Tatarigorashi, when Keiichi calls Mion, she reacts like she heard that before from Satoshi? Shion was the one who heard it before. And if it was actually Shion pretending to be Mion, then that makes even less sense as she has no motivation to do that and hardly even knows who Keiichi is in that chapter.

Maybe there's something obvious that I'm just forgetting

>>17217517
Shion and Mion switch places and pretend to be each other all the time for fun/convenience. Keiichi just happened to call Mion while Shion was pretending to be her, so she had to act like her sister. She could get in trouble if someone finds out that they are always messing around and switching places.

>>17217706

>>17217504
Ange's ass is a miracle.

>>17218256
del

Why does Umineko have such a lousy soundtrack compared to other high profile VNs?

>>17218258
No

>>17218262
What are you talking about? Umineko's soundtrack is one of the best out there in terms of both quality and variety.

>>17218272
I can agree there is a better assortment of song but they are really small.
Just look at Tsukihime ,all 12 tracks are masterpieces, but its biggest sucker is as you've guessed it the fact that there are only 12 of them.

>>17218297
I wasn't a big fan of Tsukihime's ost to be honest. It got way too repetitive for my taste. I've even seen some people recommend playing it muted.

Just got done reading this. Why was Hanyuu there anyway? Does she just dick around for a few months after Rika's death before looping again or is it just a plothole?

Tsukihime's ost is what I would call generic shitty vn music.

Having read most of both 07thexpansion's and Type-Moon's VNs I've come to realize why fate is one of the biggest franchises in the Otaku world right now while Umineko is kinda dead, particularly in Japan, writing fan fiction based on historical figures for man children will beat actually an interesting and complicated meta centric story that requires the reader to think about what he just read and what it means.

>>17218490
I actually enjoyed fate way back when, but now I feel like it's gone to shit with cashgrabs like Grand Order.

>>17217089
Wait, is it gone? I used it like a month ago. What happened?

>>17218556
You mean someone uploaded it again? I mean, I thought the thing went down years ago.

>>17218563
It's weird, I can't seem to find it now, but it was definitely up in 2017.

I don't know why but the way she says desu wa in the live guide to traps video drives me crazy (in a good way)

>>17218584
I found this but either it's not working or I'm doing someting wrong because the generated screencap never loads.

http://uminekossg.byethost7.com/generator/generator.html?i=1

>>17218653
>>17218584
I've seen like two identical umineko screenshot generators on different sites since like 2009. The one in >>17218653 is, if I'm not mistaken, the oldest one I had bookmarked, which I abandoned because it just stopped working properly. Trying in both Firefox and Chrome and it's not generating anything. The other one is no longer on the internet as of now, but I used it months ago. It worked, but took a million years to generate an image.

>>17218653
>>17218693
Yeah, that's the one I used in recent months. But I'm getting the same problem, doesn't seem to work anymore at the moment. It also was a lot of work to make an image.
I wish I was around for that other one you mentioned, but I never got to see that. A quick and easy way to make Umineko screenshots would be lots of fun.

>>17218853
I looked at the code and looks like the Generate button makes a call to some kind of service which is formed wrong.

Honestly I think I could just write that service again in a few lines, because to me it seems it's just a simple function that merges several image layers into one and returns the result.

The real chore would be having to code the interface again, it's a good thing we have that available, it only needs a bit of tweaking to get the call to the service right.

I wouldn't mind an Umineko Screenshot Generator using the PS3 sprites, or am I alone in this?

>>17219120
Agreed, having more options is rarely a bad thing.

>>17218383
>way too repetitive

For 5 routes,yes. But you can't say the weren't great.

>>17219142
I mean, I like the original sprites and they'd work well with the jokes and stuff in the made-up screenshots because the emotions on that sprites are better in my opinion. But I really hate the backgrounds of the original. Just overly blurry photographs. The backgrounds of the PS3 version are very nice, detailed and cosy-looking.

Did anyone ever rip those mangagamer higurashi sprites? I've been out of the loop for a while.

>>17219459
I did, but I never really uploaded them anywhere.

>>17220004
Lambda looks weird

>>17219120
>>17219142
>>17219364
I'd make one if I had any idea how. I've already got all the assets saved after all.

>>17220007
I actually prefer the mangagamer sprites over the old PS2 ones for some characters. They're pretty hit or miss though.

>>17217089
http://uminekossg.byethost7.com/generator/generator.html?i=1

>>17220075
It's broken, see
>>17218906

>>17220085
Sorry, I hadn't tried making an image yet before posting. I just saw that the link was working again and got excited.

Stick your dick in Rika's face, cum into her mouth and pounding her mochi-like ass.

>>17217691
I always wondered if anyone else thought of this or was this common knowledge.

Shion 诗音 Mion 魅音, both have 音 in their names. They are sisters that pretend to be one identity.

Shannon 莎音 Kanon 嘉音 also have 音 in their names. She/he pretends to be two different identities, but is one single person.

I mentioned this two years ago at a con's WTC session, but no one else seem to have known this before, so asking here to see if I can get some answers. I joined the series pretty late so kind of missed the best time to discuss the game.

Also, asking if anyone has the screenshot on 4chan of a story about a russian guy owning drawing the Beatrice art, I kind of miss that one

>>17220473
It's really common knowledge. It's one of the reasons Shkanon was so loathed, since it was a really obvious rehash of Shmion.

Why is Satoko such a lewd loli kid?

>>17220698
It's the boobs.

>>17220473
Umineko and Higurashi have share a ton of similar yet different elements between them, like how in Higurashi Satoko pushes her parents off a cliff, while in Umineko Natsuhi pushes her child off a cliff.

>>17220698
I bet Satoko and Rika's house is dirty as hell because they don't bother cleaning it up.

>>17221030
I doubt it. Rika seems like the type to keep things clean.

>>17218490
Umineko is too much of a masterpiece for plebs and goats.

New at eleven, the earth is round, the moon orbits the earth, the sea is blue.

>>17218490
Congratulations, you just realized most people is dumb and thus the market needs to cater to dumb people.

>>17219459
There wasn't much to rip, the files were just located in the game files without any special filetype or anything.

Still frustratred that none of the remake sprites lives up to Takano's design. The original's and the Anime's are still by far the best.

>>17218490
Fate is much more action fantasy and the setting makes it much "better" for cashgrabs like Grand Order.

I enjoyed the original FSN plenty but it's not the same genre as umineko, it's not comparable.

>>17220525
It would be a rehash of ShMion if they swapped clothes though.

>>17221792
Fuck Takano.

>>17222105
I know right.

So where do I get these games, anyway? Anyone have any links?

>>17222488
Clarification, looking for Umineko games, I already have Higurashi.

>>17222488
Have you tried Internet?

Does /jp/ prefer the original sprite version or the ps3 one?

>>17222578
>>17222573
Hmm, the torrent doesn't appear to work, stalls and can't find any peers even though trackers report they exist. Checked my client settings and I don't think anything's wrong, at least.

The other link works, but that only gives me the first game. I still need Chiru.

>>17222631
Yeah, I'm right here. Thanks.

>>17222640
/jp/ prefers the pachinko sprites.

>>17222647
Aren't you the funny guy.

>>17222640

>>17222646
That tumblr link has all sorts of links. I just checked, chiru is there.

>>17222640
Look at both and decide by yourself.

It's not that hard, all you will get here is a war about my tastes > your tastes.

But play with voices and ps3 backgrounds.

>>17222646
http://lambdadeltosblog7thuniverse.tumblr.com/#UMIQ
http://lambdadeltosblog7thuniverse.tumblr.com/#UMIC

>>17222640

>>17222665
Yeah, you're right, didn't scroll down enough. Thanks.

>>17222647

>>17222673
There are so many console games and not a single one has been imported in english.

Waste of potential.

>>17222725
I'm just happy OMK is getting brought over.

>>17222737

>>17222995
I really want to figure out how to rip those from the game.

>>17223035
"I can see your panties!"

>>17220004
Could you upload them, pretty please with cherries on top? I'd like to have them.

Which when they cry is the curviest? Biggest breasts and/or butt?

>>17223201
Lambda has the biggest butt but her dress conceals it.

>>17223201
In terms of pure size, Gaap or Shannon most likely win. But there's plenty of other things to take into account.

>>17223181
Fine, since you asked nicely. I left Meakashi's in a separate folder since they changed the naming format and I never bothered renaming all the files and merging the folders.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzdNfLGacG1rRTFrVTZ6eTVzSFk?usp=sharing

>>17223031
Did they use 3d models as a base for the animations? The cloths looks way too perfect to be fully done by hand.

>>17223201
The heiress

>>17223014
https://www.mediafire.com/?ji7zi1k9571z9

>>17223229
Wrong. Ange's butt reigns supreme. We even voted on it. There was no contest.

>>17223248
What about Takano though? She looked pretty huge in the original.

Would be more fair to compare the original sprites also. The Pachinko ones just took the ps3 sprites and inflated the breasts rather than basing themselves on the original.

>>17223293
Thanks a million anon! I've been stuck on that for quite a while.

>>17223318
True, but the originals is that a lot of the times it's impossible to accurately gauge the proportions. I try to take in examples from all mediums when analyzing such things, Like I did with Bern and Lambda a while back.

Takano's definitely the biggest from Higurashi, but I'd say Shannon or Gaap still likely have an edge over her, if only very slightly.

>>17223365
> Ben became totally flat in the ps3 version and Anime

What a fucking heresy. At least other mediums got it right.

>>17223376
Yeah, they were seriously pushing to make her like Rika, when she's supposed to be somewhere around a B-C cup. They probably would have done the same with Erika had Chiru been adapted.

>>17223405
How is Erika's chest compared to Bern's already? Same?

>>17223376
Ben is disappointed

>>17223411
Some material suggests Erika might be a bit bigger, but it's not conclusive. Erika herself ranges from flat to about a C cup depending on the artist.

When you see it

>>17223721
You mean this?

>>17223292
Seconded.

>>17223974
Which characters are you most hoping to see lookalikes of in WTC5?
Personally I'd love to see one of Erika or Kinzo.

>>17223992
Gohda just to see how people react and how many magical gohda chef pics get made

>>17223992
Rosa

>>17224003
There's already quite a few.

>>17224064
>Rosa lookalike appears in WTC5
>Autists take it as proof that Rosa was the true culprit.

>>17220477
anyone can help?

>>17223974
So is Bernkastel not the same being as Frederica Bernkastel? Because according to Erika's duct tape Bernkastel's name is also Frederica Bernkastel, sorry if this is confusing someone,

>>17220477
>>17224873
It's not 4chan, but here you go.

>>17225455
Do you have a full picture of his drawing?

What do you think/want WTC5 to be about? I really enjoy Ryukishi's mysteries, but since he said that this game would be much different from Higurashi and Umineko, I think he's going to try a new genre, which is a shame.

>>17226084
*since I didn't enjoy his other works.

>>17214388
>>17214695
>>17216804

ANON!!!!

>>17226084
It won't be a different genre since its WTC5.
RGD and Higanbana were different genre. He's done with that. We are getting open world mystery man.

>>17226084
It'll be Hotarubi VN.

What has R07 done in recent years again? And have they been translated? What was that through the looking glass trianthology thing? Was it any good?

>>17223265
Many thanks. But do you have those Satoko one's and perhaps any other additions >>17220004

>>17227989
>What has R07 done in recent years again?
Iwaihime, additional scenario for Kamaitachi no Yoru, Hotarubi and Trianthology.

>>17227989
>>17228075
Oh, and When the Game Ends.

>>17228075
>>17228086
Are they meant to be any good?

>>17228131
Sure.

>>17227989
The Satoko ones should be in there. the one in >>17220004 was an edit I made.

>>17228131
Damn, Ryukishi's drawing skills have really improved.

>>17229799
That's sarcasm right?

>>17228075
Also writing a few novels and taking care of the manga.

>>17229807
He is right tho

>>17229529
The towels one's aren't or are they not in the VN?

>>17230002
He peaked with Higanbana. The high contrast shading works very well. Trianthology looks too smooth.

>>17230029

I want to take a bath with Ange.

>>17225455
I remember an anon posting an image from his attic with an unfinished Beatrice painting. Might be the same guy

>>17230002
Isn't it someone else coloring for the two last?

>>17230082
"Get in nerd"

Never checked out MangaGamer's new Higu so how does it hold up translation wise?

>>17230074
My bad. I hit ctrl+all and it must have only downloaded what was displayed since the entire list must not have loaded. Sorry.

>>17230002
Higu looks the best out of the bunch. Never really liked Umineko's art since it looks a bit odd.

>>17230082
Not with that smug look.

>>17230222
No problem. Glad you figured it out.

>>17230273
Why not? Which would you prefer then?

>>17229807
No, the clothes and hair are much more detailed.

>>17230002
I just noticed that all of Ryukishi's sprites from Gakuen Renai has the same body. He just pasted different heads on top

>>17222646
>>17222573

I'm seeding this torrent right now on my server.

>>17230318
Blushing makes her look much more attractive.

>>17234721
Yeah, I see what you mean.

>>17228131
>that 90's-tier 3D

So when the hell is Ougon Musou Kyoku coming to steam?

Also, if we hypothetically got new characters, who would you want?
Its a crime that Kinzo isn't in the game.

>>17224091
I fucking love the one with him laughing with his hands up and the magic shield around him.

>>17218490
Fate/Zero is great, Fate/Stay night is also great but has a bit too many generic anime tropes and its so weird that it breaks so many of the holy grail war rules.

Like, if I didn't know Fate/Zero was a prequel I'd think it was written first since its a much more proper holy grail war compared to Stay Night.

Why didn't Umineko have cool Ryukishi covers like Higurashi?

>>17236588

>>17236520
What do you mean? It had this.

When will we have an Umineko release that let's you change between the original art + backgrounds and the full ps3 port (similar to the Higurashi release that's lying around)?

>>17236392
>Look all, I haven't read the VN!

>>17236668
Yeah, those are just the character sprites and not new illustrations.

>>17236730
Rena, has one of the best designed leisure time clothes.

>>17236377
For use during a Gohda vs Beelzebub fight scene.

"My apologies young lady, but I'm afraid I cannot allow you to enter my kitchen while dinner is being prepared."

Has anyone ever read the Novel (not VN) version of Umineko? I'm curious about it but I can't into complicated nihongo.

>>17237509
I really like the art in some of these, gotta look for it in a better quality/resolution if it exists.

>>17236372
End of this year or next year is my guess. It was announced to be coming to Steam a year ago and we only got a few recent updates of it. It's going to take a lot of time.
https://twitter.com/MangaGamer/status/863122272588099584
https://twitter.com/MangaGamer/status/878357995146534912

Who else from Umineko would be a good candidate aside from Kinzo? Maybe Featherine, but that might be a little too absurd.
Wasn't Rena originally planned to be playable as well? If we can extend it to other Ryukishi07 characters outside of Umineko, I think Alice from TRianThology looks like she would fit in, but I have no idea about her or what her movepool would be like. Hsiao-Lan from Rose Guns Days might be a fun idea for a general 07th Expansion fighter.

>>17236372
Gaap

>>17237729
She should have been in it from the start. It would fit her so well. I guess portals would have been a bit overpowered though.

>>17237722
How would Featherine work in a fighter? I agree it would be interesting though.

YWN be Ryukishi trap

>>17237854
>Fight starts
>"Something" happens
>She wins

>>17237854
just give bern featherine as a super
maybe some command input counter during meta

>>17237722
I find Daybreak a lot more fun than the Umineko fighter. It's really silly and the characters look like Ryukishi's original ham-handed moeblobs.

It feels more authentic I guess. And I love the stamina mechanic that allows you to fly and do all kinds of crazy shit.

>>17238752
Nah. I tried Daybreak and it was dated, not really that interesting, with a shallow gameplay. It's fun if you want to smash buttons and see things happen on the screen. The smash bros of Ryukishi fighting games.

Umineko Musou has honestly a pretty deep gameplay, and is ridiculously professional. More professional than both Melty Blood and the Touhou fighting games, which is saying something.

>>17239321
Yeah, OMK actually seems like a legitimate fighting game.

>>17239321
I'm not really a fan of fighting games, since I'm terrible at them. I hate having to remember how to do combos and shit.

I like them because I get to play as my favorite characters, not because of the gameplay. Daybreak is a bit shallow, but I find the controls more simple and easy to understand. It just feels good to play.

Every fight feels like one of Mion's crazy games, I really love it. And I love how all the characters have multiple weapons that they used at some point during the story, like Mion's Super Soaker or Tomitake's piece of wood.

The music is also pretty catchy, and I absolutely love how all the characters look like 3D versions of their original sprites. The game as a whole feels less professional and more amateurish, just like the VNs themselves.

... I just wanted to play as fat George in OMK.

>>17240135
Well, yeah. The smash bros of Ryukishi fighting games.

In Daybreak you can smash buttons and see people fly and do crazy shit. It's fun. It's not really that interesting, but it's certainly impactful. You have the whole doujin vibes. It's like the Haruhi fighting game. In fact, it's exactly like the Haruhi fighting game IIRC. Like, same control. Same graphics.

OMK is an incredibly good, deep, professional fighting game in comparison. Ridiculously so. In fact, as a fighting game veteran of 20+ years, I am absolutely amazed by the amount of deepness and just plain rightness in OMK. It werks. It isn't genius, isn't a masterpiece, but it's a good fighting game, with interesting gameplay and all that shit.

What was the cost of OMK? Why does Umineko have a better fighting game than, say, the Nasurverse, Tougou, or Haruhi?

>>17240653
>Why does Umineko have a better fighting game than, say, the Nasurverse, Tougou, or Haruhi?
Love. You can tell that whoever made OMK seriously loved Umineko with just how thorough everything is done.

Did anyone play the PSP version of Daybreak? It was the cutest thing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvqpZe5l_5E

>>17241101
Is there a lot of story to the game or is it more focused on gameplay? I've been wanting to check it out, but I've been holding off until I get better at reading Japanese.

>>17241294
It has a very deep plot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-6lgmAK4k4

>>17221792
The anime and MangaGamer designs just make it way too obvious for me that she's the culprit

>>17244446
It feels obvious because you knows it's her.

She's overall pretty much a "too obvious to be the murderer" type.

>>17221792
Why did Alchemist remove that weird badge she's wearing and what the fuck is it?

Edit anon here. I know it’s been a while but I thought I’d go ahead and give a quick update on what I’m currently working on. If anyone still cares that is. I’ve decided to switch over to the PS3 sprites for future edits. My current piece is Eva-Beatrice, and here’s what I’ve got so far.

>>17245350
nice!
this will probably be better looking than the pachinko sprites edits (even if I like some of those too)

>>17245454
Thanks. I've started using illustrator in addition to photoshop, so hopefully that opens up some more options for me. I'm still getting a feel for when to use what.

Eva-Beatrice took me a while to get her anatomy down, particularly her legs. It's not as noticeable when clothed, but the PS3 sprite makes them seem way longer than they should be. Please let me know if anything looks weird as far as her proportions go.

>>17236372
I'd like to see something weird like Clair where a lot of her attacks are specific scenes from the games appearing in a fragment. Like for example, a fragment appears with Eva killing Battler at the end of episode 3, and you get shot by Eva. Shit like that.

I agree with Kinzo, and Gaap is also someone who really baffles me isn't in it.

I'd also like to see one of the uncles, probably Krauss.

>>17237722
I think a 07th expansion fighting game would be cool, really interesting if each series had its own special mechanics. Like, Umineko has the meta thing from OMK, Higurashi has something similar to the MUGEN characters, RGD has something like bullet time or something idk and Higanbana I don't know but I'm sure they could think of something.

Lambda pantsu.

>>17239321
I thought melee was a serious(?) fighting game

>>17246570
>not pink
Disappointed

>>17246656
Personally I'd imagined more something like this.

>>17246725
do not post shit like this

>>17246735
Why not? Aren't you curious what kind of <pop> and <cute> underwear Lambdadelta wears?

Bye guys I'm gonna read Umineko

>>17246791
subscribed

>>17222640
Original all the way

>>17246754
Lambda is not for lewd. Lambda is for deep philosophical questions about the nature of fate and predetermination.

But cute girls getting lewded IS predetermined.

I just want some news on the next WTC already. A setting, an animal, anything.

More Higurashi when?

>>17249052
I don't think it'll be out until late 2018/summer2019. We're in for a long wait and any plot/setting/whatever's gonna be crying this time-news will take a long time to surface I think. And then there's the question of whether someone will translate it and how long that will take

>>17249105
>translation
Never.

>>17249105
MangaGamer will probably release it

>>17249169
This is what I'm hoping for after their work on Umineko. It'd also be great if the next WTC was actually released in the West. I always felt a bit guilty about reading Umineko without ever paying any money for it. I got some merch but I'm pretty sure Ryukishi doesn't get all that much money out of merchandise than if I'd have bought the VNs.

>>17249104
I've never bothered looking into any of the Higurashi side works. Are they any good?

>>17249313
Some of the random manga and stuff are decent enough, but you're gonna wanna check out more than the main series if you're a fan. Even the live actions, too.

>>17249355
I read Saikoroushi-hen and that manga with Natsumi.
I still don't know the difference between Matsuri, Kizuna, Sui, and Hou.

>>17249730
Sui is Matsuri and Kizuna combined. Sui basically has everything except for Hou, which is a short VN that includes Outbreak and Hinamizawa Bus Stop

When's Ougon Musou Kyoku on Steam?

Has anyone read Bus stop or Outbreak?

>>17250465
Yep. It was good.

>>17250465
It was fun, and Bus Stop is worth a look-see just to see what came before.

>>17251375
Last one's good.

>>17251375
I agree with >>17251421, the last one is good but the others you're kinda right, they're not bad tracks but they're not the reason I listen to Umineko OST.

So I've been looking into making a compilation of the best/most memorable Umineko quotes and was wondering if you guys could help me, looking for quotes in Japanese and romaji, gonna leave these two as examples and anyone can contribute with quotes they like:

Misete yaru yo, ougon no yume tte Yatsu ooooo~~

Hajimemashite, konnichiwa, tantei Furudo Erika tomo shimasu.

The Dyatlov Pass incident is seriously some Rokkenjima-level shit.

When it comes to truly bad tracks, though, those castrato singer tracks from EP7 take the cake.

Reminds me of Higurashi

I always imagined they were sung by Yasu, hence the weird, androgynous voice

How is it that MG art Shion is super cute but MG art Mion is so funky looking?

>>17251500
It got way too old, and I can no longer stand it. I get that it's a classic though.

>>17251534
Why the fuck would you skip that one?

Don't talk to me or my mistress ever again, f-f-faggot!

I've been wondering... What happens if you lose your dick as a baby but your balls are still intact? Woud you hit puberty like everyone else and get horny? That would be terrible if you are unable to masturbate or have sex at all to empty your balls because you only have a literal pee hole.

I just woke up from a dream where the Beato bird from the OP was in my apartment, and then a giant mother bird came and pecked at me...

was this trying to tell me something?

>>17253610
Anon, you sure do have some odd concerns.

>>17253635
Watch out for mackerel-loving grannies.

>>17253738
The fish hands kill me.

The PS3 art is nice, but it doesn't compare to the original.

>>17253610
Testosterone is primarily produced in the testicles so sex drive shouldn't be affected

Slightly unrelated, but people who lose their dicks apparently often suffer from "Phantom Penis Syndrome". I wonder if Yasu had that

>>17253766
Isn't that a mental thing? Like, you shouldn't suffer from it if you don't even know you had a dick, right?

Speaking of weird mental disorders, some people suffer from a strange kind of cognitive dissonance... thing after losing their vision/hearing or the ability to move one of their limbs. I think can happen after a stroke or some other type of damage to the brain.

Basically, they cannot see/hear/move their arm/whatever, but they don't realize it. Their brains don't know that there is something wrong. When asked "how many fingers am I holding up", told to repeat a word or told to point at something with their paralyzed hand, they will say "ok" and then proceed to... do nothing or just randomly guess the answer.

When asked why they didn't move their hand or why they failed to answer correctly, they will come up with excuses like "oh, I just didn't feel like it", "I heard it wrong" or "I couldn't see it well without my glasses". It's weird as fuck. They don't realize that they are just making shit up. Their brains have no idea that their vision or whatever doesn't work, so it comes up with ridiculous excuses to explain why they failed. And the person genuinely believes it.

>>17253827
I would think your genetic memory would probably still give you the feeling that something should be there.

>>17253901
Split brain syndrome?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfYbgdo8e-8

>>17253827
The cause of phantom pain is unknown, but research suggests that it most likely happens because of signals in the brain. The most common theory is that the brain still has connections to the nerves in the missing limb and interprets the lack of response as pain

>>17253762
>Möven Lied

>>17254086
Pain is a bullshit mechanic meant only for survival of the species, with no regard for the feelings of the individual. I wouldn't mind having my entire hand burned to a crisp before I realize I'm holding a piece of hot metal if it meant that I'm unable to feel pain.

And things like toothaches or headaches are completely pointless even for survival. What the fuck is it warning you about and why? It's not like you can fix whatever is wrong with your head or teeth, especially if you are a fucking caveman or some other wild animal. Why the pain? It's just pointless suffering.

Why the fuck did so many creatures evolve to feel pain and pass it down to their descendants? It's a mutation that should have died with the first creature that developed it.

Evolution is so fucking cruel. It's just a bunch of innocent creatures mindlessly eating each other and reproducing, passing down even the most terrible and painful genetic mutations to their offspring just because they managed to survive long enough to have kids.

It's a cruel and mindless process and I wish it we could control this shit somehow. But no, we artificially breed different types of dogs and create little deformed shits that can barely survive without humans, like those dogs with wool-like hair that constantly get their claws stuck on the hair while scratching themselves and can't move until someone helps them.

And we allow people with terrible hereditary diseases to breed and force their kids to live with that shit too. We allow retards to breed, and even celebrate it. Hell, the average IQ of humankind is decreasing because only assholes and idiots manage to become successful adults and have kids, while most geniuses get bullied and traumatized and die alone in their mom's basement.

It's such a clusterfuck. Beato is cute.

>>17254416
It's incredible how irrational people become when you talk about this stuff. As if having kids is a completely harmless thing that everyone should be have the right to do.

What's the point of ruining your wife's beautiful body just so she can give birth to a kid with some awful disease? Or a kid so ugly that he will never find love and happiness? Why not adopt some orphan kid that appears to be genetically healthy? Why not have the most healthy and beautiful people reproduce and adopt their kids? An intelligent society would have done something like this long ago, without letting stupid irrational emotions and outdated instincts get in the way.

The people that oppose this idea are the same people that criticize you for buying a bred dog instead of adopting already existing and lonely dogs from a shelter. It's the same fucking thing when it comes to orphans! What's the difference?

Playing through the Watanagashi route of Higurashi. I'm legitimately terrified. Also Mion gives me a fear boner. Is this normal?

>>17254723
Get out before you get spoiled.

>>17254723
If you are playing this blind, get the fuck out of here before you get everything spoiled to you. Actually, get out of the entire internet, including google images and shit. Avoid even the youtube thumbnails from related videos.

You don't know how lucky you are. I wish I could have played this blind without (in my case) the stupid anime spoiling everything beforehand with barely any emotional impact.

>>17254762
Okay.
>>17254766
Gone!

>>17254782
"Mion" is actually Shion pretending to be her sister. Rika resets time each time she dies. The villain is Takano and they beat her with the power of friendship.

I started reading Higurashi not knowing anything about it other than rika_knife.gif, 3 hours into Onikakushi and I thought someone had pulled some kind of joke on me, then watanagashi happened. I ended up reading all 8 chapters in one week.

Higurashi is still one of my favourite VNs 6 years later, I've almost never been that entranced by a piece of fiction since.

>>17256015
>tfw watched the anime first and it ended up spoiling all the fun fom the VN BUT also introduced me to the When They Cry series

>>17256043
who said that?

>>17256303
I did?

>>17256303
Anon that's a silly question, everyone here is anonymous.

>>17256401
It could've been any one of us... But we'll never know, will we?

>>17256412
People might even suspect that I'm talking to myself, but they'll never know the truth.

>>17256461
It's pretty obvious you are, considering how you brought up the fact you ''could be talking to yourself'', which, for those with a trained eye, is a blatant deception. Even in this world of anonymity, the power of the human brain stands on top!

I watched the anime like 4 years ago and I read the entire VN this year. I have to say I forgot most things, except the culprit. Thank god because that Watanagashi twist was glorious

Anyone happen to have the ougon musou kyoku background images? All the links I've found around are either long dead or incomplete.

Alright so, what the fuck was the golden truth really?

>>17259094
You know enough of the truth to know the very underpinning of the game. One of the underpinning of Beato's game is that Kinzo is dead. No proof required. If you know the absolute truth, you can assure people that the game is not built on the idea that Kinzo is alive.

Same with Shannon = Kannon = Beatrice. No need to prove it, it's simply the golden truth.

Do you think Kinzo wanted to fuck Yasu when he dressed up as his mom after having solved the epitaph's riddle?

>>17263582
Nah, he was over that shit. He just wanted to apologize.

This is Battler's uncle.

>>17263749
Why are you so sure? The old man kept saying he wanted to apologize, but that was when there wasn't any physical manifestation of his beloved Beatrice. We're dealing with a man who raped his own child (and the dirty geezer didn't even care about getting her pregnant (maybe that turned him on?)), remember that.

>ywn cuddle Yasu and tell her everything is going to be ok

Kinzo is such a naughty man~! Ewwwww~~!

>>17264147
Which chapter of part 7 was that already?

>>17263958
Because he survived many years only for a chance to apologize, and when he finally did, he died of relief. The old man realized his mistake.

mangagamer is releasing a physical version of Umineko!

http://www.mangagamer.com/detail.php?goods_type=3&product_code=248

>>17267258
Still no release date for Chiru or OMK

>>17267258
Why isn't there ps3 version? I'm sure it would sell much more than Steam or original version.

>>17267258
>>17267346
I would pay for Higurashi/Umineko with switchable PS2/PS3 graphics/voices and original artwork and switchable between English and Japanese.

>>17267346
They probably can't get the rights to the PS3 version.

>>17266987
Well, according to the artist's commentary on pixiv, "it's definitely inside," whatever that means...

>>17266926
Those Ushiromiya genes are a blessing. I wonder what kind of woman Maria would have grown into? though she's fine the way she is now.

>>17267548

No. Mion is cute and innocent and you really shouldn't be afraid of her.

The Witch's Tanabata should be good right about now.

Why is there some hate going around for the Shkanontrice theory? I'm pretty new to the VN and all, but I thought it was a pretty good explanation for everything.

Some people refused to accept it in favor of the alternate Rosatrice theory. They're pretty fierce about it, though they seem to be in the minority.

This is pretty cool, it's even signed by Ryukishi
>>17271308

>>17271001
Sure, shkanontrice is the obvious intended solution, but you also have to remember that r07 went out of his way to show specifically that the intended solution isn't necessarily the best one there is. Even as someone who acknowledges it to be the truth, I still dislike most diehard shkanontrice-fags because they're intellectual rapists who force everyone to accept their reasoning whether they're going to benefit from it or not.
Is ruining peoples enjoyment of the story really worth getting them to acknowledge something they're not going to engage with emotionally anyway?

>>17271001
>theory
In the same way that evolution is a theory, sure. Shkanon and the personality wordplay was a retarded solution, but people need to get over it already. Once you realize all that stuff can be ignored if you just think of it as "the real name Sayo never gets mentioned in the red text, so there's a huge loophole for her in every game", it gets a lot more tolerable.

>>17271483
>Is ruining peoples enjoyment of the story really worth getting them to acknowledge something they're not going to engage with emotionally anyway?
The thing is, Shkannontrice supporters likely ARE emotionally engaged, which is why they're so invested in it.

>>17271001
Well, it's because Gohdatrice theory is the absolute truth.

>>17271728
Just like Erika is emotionally invested in her theory of how Beatrice made a candy appear under an upturned cup. Just because they're right doesn't mean they're correct if you get what I'm saying.

>>17271478
I'm not sure that this is a real oil painting, and not some copy.

>>17271478
>>17272297
I've been planning on printing either Beato's or Erika's portrait stick it in a frame and hang it on my wall. I'll get around to it one day.

>>17272336
Printing it on a canvas at a professional shop of course.

>>17271483
>>17271728
The problem with most Shkanontrice haters is that they are the ones screeching about how Umineko Chiru is shit and how Yasu is retarded.
There's more to Umineko than the mystery part.
Ignoring Yasu is ignoring what Umineko really is about.

>>17272646
>Ignoring Yasu is ignoring what Umineko really is about.
Umineko really isn't about Yasu as much as you seem to think it is. Ryukishi devoted a pretty sizeable chunk of episode 2 and 4 to Maria and Rosas relationship, expended a lot of resources to fleshing out Evas character, and almost all of the characters that appear in the first episode have a pretty impressive amount of depth to them. The heart of Umineko is that social commentary, as well as the discussions about the nature of truth.

If someone understood that much, even if they missed out on the intended culprit solution, I'd still be willing to grant that they understood what Umineko was about more so than your average yasufag does.

>>17272646
As someone who's a fan of Yasu, Chiru was shit precisely because we got way too little focus on the actual Yasu in favor of more meta-Beato shipping scenes. Battler being obsessed with having Chick-Beato put up her witch facade again in EP6 is disturbing as hell when you consider that he's basically refusing to accept Sayo for who she is and confirming all the fears and insecurities Shannon had that led to her "transferring" her love.

>>17272924
>Battler being obsessed with having Chick-Beato put up her witch facade again in EP6 is disturbing as hell when you consider that he's basically refusing to accept Sayo for who she is
He's definitely Kinzo's grandson.

Episodes 5-8 are better than Episodes 1-4.
