Although I like Zeiva's art she never updated her UI from Flash which is a pain as I prefer Ren'py for VNs. Also weird save systems.

I think I'll keep it on the wishlist until I get through some more of my backlog. I also found out there's a demo on their homepage, so I can give that a try later.

There are too many versions of Higurashi. Too many art patches, too many music patches...I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all

Okay I think i'm starting to wrap my head around it a bit The hosed up thing is a lot of the original Mangagamer music seems better than the real thing (like the scary music)

The original soundtrack for the first set of games was basically stock music so it's not particularly good.

Chapters 5-8 luckily have some amazing tracks because that's when RK07 got his doujin music artist pals to chip in.Sea Sponge Run posted:There are too many versions of Higurashi. Too many art patches, too many music patches...I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all 1). A set of voice/FX patches for all 4 games (which might also include content for upcoming chapters? idk), which you can either copy in whole into each game folder or do the thing where you make symlinks to avoid having to copy large sets of files several times. 2). A 1080p graphics patch for each chapter. 3). Finally each game also gets a "voice + graphics patch" which connects #1 and #2 all together to actually work. This has to be copied into the game folder last because it also contains fixes/updates for the first two steps. The github isn't the best organized site but everything should be here in one tidy table: https://github.com/07th-mod/guide/wiki/Part-1---Voice-and-Graphics-Patch

MangaGamer's release schedule on Higurashi has been tediously slow across the board. It does not surprise me that they have yet to even talk about chapters 5-8. And they want to do a bunch of extra chapters that were in console versions and fandiscs, too? Guess they aren't finishing until 2020 or so.

I'm looking over my options in the Steam anime sale. Anyone have any opinions on the Grisaia series? Any other games you'd compare them to? Seems like 50% is the best discount it ever gets.

they're pretty funny for a while but then the drama starts and the drama is consistently pretty ham-handed

Second game devolves into terrorist incest pedophile assassins, and those are the good guys. Doesn't spend anywhere near enough time with the really cool and fun new characters. Awful loving cliffhanger ending. Avoid like the loving plague.

The House in Fata Morgana is 25% off again. It's very, very good, and has an amazing soundtrack. You might be surprised at the amount of depth there is to nearly all the characters.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/577480/ Only a few more weeks until chapter 5 of Higurashi is released! As someone who is playing through this series for the first time, I really can't wait to start seeing how many of my theories turn out to be correct (Chapter 5 is the start of the answer arc, right?).

Yep, first four chapters ask the questions and the next four provide the answers. Technically this is an entirely new game, as originally the first four chapters were collected under the Higurashi banner while 5-8 fall under a separate release titled "Kai". Bit of a moot point since Mangagamer are pulling their releases from Higurashi Hou which is a collection of just about everything. Ch. 5/Meakashi is not my favorite answer chapter, but it does some real compelling poo poo that'll leave a major lasting impression and is sure to shake up any and everyone's theories. Higurashi Kai is far superior to the original chapters in just about every notable respect; they are paced far better (despite being longer most of the time), have far more engrossing stories and characterization, and some really great sets of music. When I think of the reasons I like Higurashi so much, it's almost entirely because of these chapters.

Out of curiosity, what would you say is your favorite of the Kai chapters? I've enjoyed all of the Higurashi games released so far, although I will admit the first chapter was a bit of a slog. Just kinda wondering what people consider to be the high point of the series, considering most of the games thus far have been pretty great.

Tsumihoroboshi for me, mainly because I'm a sap and the scene where Keiichi remembers everything and starts crying while the others are all "wtf man" gets me every time. It's also kind of the turning point where things start looking up. edit: though, if you haven't read the answer arcs I suppose a fully spoilered response wouldn't be that helpful

Tsumihoroboshi (#6) is really loving great as well for its own reasons and while I have some issues with a few specific parts in Matsuribayashi (#8) on the whole it's amazing too.

Speaking of Higurashi, Sui is on sale on PSN in Japan for under $30 which is huge because it normally goes for $75. That's the version of Higurashi with All The Chapters and then some. If you can read Japanese this is a no-brainer at that price.

So uh does Steins; Gate 0 get more interesting? I've done one ending route and am currently on the second and so far the whole thing has been like the boring bit at the start of the first game only with Rintaro being a miserable sad sack instead of fun.

Played through the demo of Fatal Twelve just to check whether it's worth pledging for a physical Kickstarter copy before it ends. It's... I dunno? The ideas seem solid if a little overused, and I'm typically a fan of "Future Diary"-style suspense stories, but the implementation and actual writing feel just a little ham-fisted. I never played Sound of Drop, but from impressions I've read it seems like that was the same. Anyone else have opinions on it?

There's been a lot of otoge announced in the last few days: Nightshade (Vita to PC port) on Steam last week Period Cube on 4/28/17 Hakouki Kyoto Winds on 5/31/17 Collar x Malice on 7/28/17 Currently playing Nightshade and TL is overly literal which means a lot of "people die when they're killed" moments here

The Silver Case is uh, pretty neat? If you look back at killer7 with a certain amount of fondness you'll probably get a kick out of it, but if that doesn't describe you I'm not sure what you'd make of it. It's a very strange thing, and very very much a product of the time it was made in. Not that it's technologically dated, though it is, but that it's a lot about things that were going on in Japan in the late 90s. Amazing soundtrack though, by the guy who went on to work on killer7 and God Hand and No More Heroes and Danganronpa and tons more.
