Ytlaya posted:* This isn't to say that Umineko had some brilliant mystery solutions or anything - pretty much every mystery boiled down to either Shannon/Kanon being the same person or them working with the servants + collaborator. tbf, most mystery solutions end up like this once you figure out the one trick. I mean, I would put Umineko's solutions above Then They Were None itself becomes trivial once you figured out its trick. That is just kinda mystery. e: This isn't me dissing the mystery genre, like what makes a good solution/trick is more the execution and how it plays in the story itself. What makes a brilliant mystery is the solution with the sleight of hand. Any solution by itself, is probably not going to seem so brilliant. ee: though like you said Umineko itself cares more about the mystery of motivation instead of the mechanics of crime so this whole reply is kinda pointless SO SORRY FOR THAT voltcatfish posted:you are supposed to hate the ushiromiya family. they're rich snobs Though you should like Kyrie from the start because Kyrie is the best.

I like Natsuhi a lot, even if there is one thing in particular she did which was Not Cool. Rosa is the worst.

Rosa really jerks you around if you are someone who wants to like her. I ended up liking everyone a lot, besides Kinzo and Rosa when she doesn't have a gun, but and Eva ended up probably being my favorite character (in the family at least.) They are all awful rich people, but for the most part they at least somewhat end up as likable (as characters) awful people.

you know, i was enjoying DRV3 now that it finally costs less then $60. i still am enjoying it. but the culprit for the first case is some real bullshit. not like, fun bullshit that i expect from the series, "who gave you the right to write a murder mystery" bullshit huge dangan ronpa v3 spoilers: we see kaede's thoughts. she is the detective and the protagonist and we see her thoughts. maybe there's just clever misdirection instead of outright lying, im not going back to check, but this feels like a shocking twist for the sake of a shocking twist. also, i thought we were getting a cool female hero to play as, but nope!!!!!! you're a dude again i guess!!!! i like shuuchi but gently caress Snooze Cruise posted:They are all awful rich people, but for the most part they at least somewhat end up as likable (as characters) awful people. yeah, making even the worst of its cast feel like actual developed human beings is something umineko does very well, and is also kind of The Point as far as you can say umineko has a single point dmboogie fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Jun 23, 2018 |

Re: DRV3: If you did go back to check things, you'd find it's actually somewhat well done. Like, when you're checking out things in the warehouse, Shuuichi comes back after you're looking at the shot puts, and she thinks "I put the things I was holding in my bag. . ." And when you're in the classroom, when rushing after Shuuichi, she says something like "I dropped everything I was holding and ran out the door. . ." Like, I'm sure you have different reasons for disliking it that I'm just not getting, but things were signposted, if barely. It reminds me of the subtler mystery hints from Umineko and Higurashi. ...Agreed, though, that I would have preferred Kaede as the primary character, because I liked her a lot.

What the gently caress is wrong with you guys, Krauss is obviously the best Ushiromiya.food court bailiff posted:I'm really trying to push past the boring intro and how much I hate most of the characters in Umineko (so far, at least) to get to the meat of it and keep my 7th Expansion fix going, and an offhand joking comment from Battler early on seems to be a callback to some stuff from Higurashi. Like, I know they're not directly related but it seemed like a wink and nod to the reader and has me wracking my brain trying to figure out if I can actually work any new theories or hints out from it. Umineko's biggest strength is the characters, so I would mostly focus on them. Knowledge of Higurashi in no way contributes to figuring out what's going on, aside from arguably being misleading in some ways.

Ytlaya posted:What the gently caress is wrong with you guys, Krauss is obviously the best Ushiromiya. this person has a season pass to Delsneyland The opening of Umineko can be interesting or super boring depending how much you like rich ppl family politics and sniping but it really is a much richer read the second time around. Obviously I'm not suggesting people read the billion hour game twice when they're just starting, but if you end up connecting with it I think you'd be quite happy with a re-read a few years down the line. It's also supremely fun to get people into it and have them liveblog or give impressions as they go

Think of it as the Funny Games of visual novels and you won't be too far off.

I remember really being put off by the first trial of V3 at first. Like, I loved WHAT it did but I also hated it emotionally. It retrospect it is even better, and I think some of that bad feeling is assuaged by Suuichi being the best protagonist in the series by far.

I'm on part 4 of the Umineko questions arc, and I just want to say gently caress Rosa. gently caress her forever holy crap. For reference I just got to the part with the police officer. I don't think that's specific enough to possibly spoil anything.

The Silver Case is really good. Halfway through the cases so far and loving it. The aesthetic is amazing and dynamic and totally captures the 90s Japan, rough, chain-smoking badassery in the characters and dialogue. And that soundtrack, drat, so chill. Also appreciated is the button that lets you skip the puzzles if you don't want to bother.

Is the silver case good then? Especially if one likes murder mysteries and the sort. What I saw of it seemed to imply the game veered too much into not making sense, but maybe that's just from seeing random screenshots.

I picked up Subahibi, after some deliberating, since I generally stay away from NSFW stuff. I figured I might as well read it as bite the bullet and read it. Of course, I won't be really able talk about it in this thread.

I grabbed Higurashi 1 because it was barely more than $1. I'm currently reading Prof's LP for Umineko and have his Fata Morgana bookmarked but I'll probably buy that instead. I'm also debating getting Little Busters because I'm a sucker for Key but all I know about it is this video of a minigame someone linked me.

I've considered making like a Discord or something for the adult stuff where it's clear we're not being creepy or anything but some stories just can't be told without adult material. I finished Carpe Diem: Reboot couple days ago. It feels like there's clearly more but I don't think I've heard of plans for another VN?  I also finished Her Lie I tried to believe. Wow. That VN was trash. Basically, just imagine an hour of misplaced hate then a not so shocking "reveal". On to Shuffle (which I bought in the sale) and maybe finish Ladykiller, which I won't talk about here.

I thought it was much better when you "messed up" and got people killed. It made for a story with progressive high stakes. Otherwise there's way too much rise and fall of action.

Raxivace posted:So is The Letter worth it? It sounds like extremely my jam. It's very ymmv because it's extremely character driven and if you don't enjoy the characters then you will be annoyed for the entirety of your playthrough. Some of the characters can be kind of tropey and annoying especially if you don't go "bad route" on them. It's not much of a mystery either because the background story of the house/haunting is very bare bones. What it does well though is that it is David Cage level of choices and consequences. That thing is full of choices and the storyline reacts in a lots of ways, sometimes as dramatic as starting a later character with 0 of the supporting cast. I think that's why the user above said it had some sim aspect to it. Also I thought that some of the ghost encounters were well done and suspenseful with some creative QTE for some; that said they abuse the "ghost popup" a bit and sometimes it was just funny to me. The voice acting is okay. The art is very good and wonderfully animated. Honestly may be see someone play the very beginning of the game, perhaps until the end of the prologue or at least until the end of the cinema scene. I think the character that grates the most on people is Ashe, so if you get through the end of that without feeling like you want to blow your brains out (I don't think it's much worse than what you see in other VNs personally), then give it a shot.

Raxivace posted:So is The Letter worth it? It sounds like extremely my jam. I personally feel that the characters are pretty good, but the VN fails to successfully pull off being a "horror" VN, leaving the plot meandering. The story is the most reactive story in any VN that I've seen, probably even more so than LLTQ. I wish that the plot felt like it had more going, or that at least the horror part actually panned out. As it is, I'd recommend it at an academic level, since it tries interesting things and does them with varying degrees of success. MegaZeroX fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Jun 26, 2018 |
