Why does mangagamer have higurashi kai listed as romance? Do they have anything that is not listed as romance?

Since I mentioned Higurashi, I suppose I'm obligated to tell the thread by reactions to it so far (I've just started): I'm actually playing this in part because I liked the Lucia route in Rewrite. Maybe this is a bad idea because (Rewrite spoilers) the mystery element of Lucia was the part I liked the least; the whole "she has a split personality, I guess" thing was bullshit. Having said that, I guess twists like that aren't so bad if you're expecting an outrageous twist of some sort. I'm using the graphics patch, of course. I'm not sure why Ryukishi didn't just write is as a book if there were no choices in it and he couldn't draw. I wonder if the bit at the very beginning with the dude seemingly being murdered by a woman he loves was narrated by the same person whose funeral Keiichi just attended. The character writeups on the Mangagamer page imply that the use of VN character archetypes in a murder mystery is meant to be Ironic. Double-ironically, Keiichi is actually an unironically OK character. He's sort of like Kotarou from Rewrite in terms of surface personality. I like that he has living parents that he has a good relationship with. Silver2195 fucked around with this message at 06:34 on May 18, 2013 |

And like you Higurashi was the VM I decided to play next. The thing was I had no idea what Higurashi was about so I really lucked out on this because the entire story is what I loved about the Lucia route. Not sure why people dislike the graphic patch so much. I played it unpatched and after awhile I got use to it. It has its charms.

It's hard to take Higurashi as seriously as you need to when you're looking at strange creatures with giant meat hands.

I got over the giant hands a quarter of the say in to the first chapter. Wasn't really a big deal to me. Though I wasn't aware the patch existed at the time. But I don't regret playing it unpatched.

It's definitely possible to get used to it, I know I had played up through Watanagashi before I applied the patch and I still enjoyed it. It's just one less hurdle for getting people to play it in the first place, which is why I always recommend it. Actually the bigger deal might be the music patch; some of the Kai tracks that MangaGamer changed are excellent and it would be a bloody shame to play through Kai without getting that fixed. Anyway, I think the reason Ryukishi07 didn't just write a book was because he seems to be a firm believer of needing music/fx to create atmosphere. Hence why he goes out of his way to describe them as "sound novels" rather than visual novels. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 13:50 on May 18, 2013 |

These cheap porn games probably cost two bucks and a copy of Super Mario World for the SNES to license, and I'd imagine they make some profit off it. It's pretty goofy, but I can just laugh at it and hope they make enough money to license something actually good.

Their versions of the 'Howl to the Future' and 'Carry on' were definitely the highlights. Was 'Wings' in there? I kind of had it on in the background and I guess I didn't catch it if it was.

Finished Shizuru and Akane's paths in Rewrite. Shizuru's was unfortunately dull, but Akane's was fantastic. The final battle with the Earth Dragon was easily the most  that Kotarou's ever gotten so far and I loved the way the story unfolded. Key definitely does a better Heaven's Feel then it does Unlimited Blade Works. The Moon opening was badass, so I'm interested to see where the story's going to go. While Lucia and Akane have been the only two routes I've particularly thought were good so far, I'm curious to see how this is all going to get tied together.

I was at Anime Central this prior weekend and the MangaGamer dudes said they sold most of their Boob Wars stock they brought to the convention. Yes, none of us have any interest in these pointless fetishistic titles, but there's a market and they probably sell better than and end up subsidizing their more worthwhile games like Dengeki Stryker, so it's nothing all that terrible.

Maybe exactly one person. If you wanted to laugh at something with a friend, couldn't you just link them to it's section on VNDB or something? You don't need to own a physical copy of Boob Wars to laugh at it, and spending 20 bucks just so you and a friend can chuckle awkwardly with a slight amount of sexual tension isn't my idea of a good investment. It sold because cheap porn sells.

As Endorph said, porn sells, and there's little more to it. You only need to skim though a catalog of western live action porn to spot similarly colorful titles. You're free to spend your money to ironically enjoy them if that's really your thing, though. In other news, the Total Eclipse VN script and CGs have been ripped, confirming the spoilers that have been going around about how it goes full on Zeta Gundam. I think it's some kind of achievement to simultaneously disappoint the people who wanted a happy ending while also not being good enough to justify it for the people who thought everything before the VN was poo poo.

After getting "sidetracked" with Higurashi I'm resuming Kira Kira. Liking it so far though I'm just past the prologue. Not many other thoughts so far except I'm not sure if I'm ever not going to find Kirari's overly excited sprite not funny. Edit: This conversation about R&B and Rock music feels slightly racist. Edit2: What the hell!? LMAO! Kashiwara sure is working that clown look! From this and her earlier statement about how she would strike the audience with an instrument if she needed to I take it she is the kind eager girl who can easily get let astray. Though I have seen more outrageous hairstyles. I've played Muv Luv after all  Edit3: I have a feeling this is going to be music porn in the way Hoshizora no Memoria was astronomy porn and Fate Stay Night was food porn.

Man, I don't know if it says something about me that the moment that's affected me most in Rewrite so far is when Lucia hits Hissy Cat. Poor thing didn't deserve it, I actually feel really terrible right now because the fictional cat who was finally learning to love got hit really hard.  e: Holy poo poo, this is the most overblown reaction to someone not wanting to touch flowers I could ever imagine.  e2: Wow, Lucia's route is just a complete tonal shift. I really, really wish I had decided to get this one first. It's really good, I know that, but at the same time it feels like if i'd started with this one and then done the Kotori and Chihaya routes, the supernatural element would be way freakier. As is, i've already seen Kotarou surf a motherfucking broadsword into a gigantic volcano beast's face, so this ghost doesn't seem terribly threatening. klapman fucked around with this message at 16:00 on May 21, 2013 |
