I am playing it using 07th mod, I yo-ho'd it that way. The voice-acting is absolutely fantastic.
As for Ryukishi's potato sprites, I'd rather not see those ever again lol.

Some people like the old art, but yeah I prefer the ps3 versions. Just curious what happened with your story so far, just wondering how far you made it to change your mind? It does start slow, but once things start it's great.

Made it to the first night, when Gohda goes missing. The part where it picked up for me was the gold/inheritance bickering between the siblings of the Ushiromiya family. The umbrella and letter mystery scenes kept me going for hours long after I said I was gonna stop for the night.
I'll probably do more Umineko tonight. I'm waiting for my wife to get home before I do. She's never experienced any When They Cry content before, and started watching me play it. She seemed very interested, she was asking questions throughout my playthrough, and I filled her in to the best of my ability. I don't want to go any further without her. (Mostly I want to see her reaction to the coming events, but also it's a nice bonding experience.)

You know what, as long as you aren't using the shitty Pachinko sprites, I'm cool with it.
Like goddamn, look at those gravity defying bazonkers.

Holy fucking shit Gou is even more of a trash fire than expected. Also gonna be making fun of the art here again because lmao I'm petty like that and my Internet's been shit, had to restart the Wi-Fi and go back to the OP several times so I'm just cranky.
I actually wanna redraw the two images with the wonky perspectives just out of pettiness and boredom, so I'll be back later; if not to edit them in this post, in another. Just
fuck.
Seriously look at this and tell me the art looks good. They didn't even shade in her eyeballs, they look unfinished, and the perspective is so fucking wonky that her hand is probably not even her own hand.
"Repeat this in red, Rika!"
Seriously, why show us clips of Rika failing to ride a unicycle and walk on stilts just so Satoko could prove a point? What point? We never saw those happen, ever. You expect us to believe those actually happened just so Satoko could feel smart?
Satoko's suicides were like they came out of Final Destination, what the fuck. Also great way to assassinate her character in that she gives up the moment Rika talks about her dreams. Satoko doesn't give up that freaking easily when faced with a problem (except with Teppei, but that's her willingly putting up with his abuse), holy shit.
What the fuck does quoting this even have to do with Rika's tragedy?
Also Featherine looks stoned. What even is that face? Or that perspective, for that matter? She looks even more plastered into the scene just from her perspective being off.
lol literally DEEN
If Satoko is watching the previous worlds Rika has been in through third-person, why aren't we seeing how it actually played out with Rena being scared for her life but concerned with what's happened to Keiichi in this scene? Because this is not what Rika witnessed. She might've known about what would happen, but I sincerely doubt she's followed Keiichi and Rena all the way out here to see the confrontation.
♪Fucking bullshit, fucking bullshit, fucking bullshit, holy shit oh fucker♪
Seriously? "Bye, Nii-Nii"? I know Satoko has stated multiple times she doesn't want to rely on Satoshi and become more independent, but she's still waiting for him to return home. She wouldn't write him off so easily. When exactly was Satoko ever shown to be selfish, anyway?
I also believe that's a rendition of either "Rainy Days" or "Days of Children" at the end, but it's not very inspired. The new OST is bland because it's pitted up against the superior 2006 OST which is actually distracting.

I really hate what they've done with Satoko. They're super dead set on turning her into Lambdadelta. I've said before elsewhere how that makes no fucking sense. In the process, they arbitrarily made her forget her character growth in the original and now they've completely shredded her character and made her completely unlikable. She sees all the torture Rika went through, along with herself and the whole village being gassed plus Shion snapping and her Uncle coming back. And what's her response? "Lol I'm gonna torture u harder Rika!" Wtf this makes zero sense?!

I am disappointed by the direction this is going because Satoko is ignoring all those times Rika went the extra mile to save her ass.
I remember being disappointed by the end of Umineko because I wracked my brain over how the murders in chapel happened only to find out it was metaphorical. You ever seen the movie Rashomon? I was hoping it would be like that where they show you how the murders might have went down but doesn't tell you if that was the truth.
Laughing Kinzo will always be hilarious.

I barely remember Higurashi anime, but was Satoko always so dead set on Rika? I remember them being more like childhood friends than life partners.

More of the former but they're practically family because Satoko had no one else to turn to.

Are you justifying the mangagamer/steam sprites?
I hope not.
I have seen worse tits. Have you ever played SMT Devil Survivor 2?
Oh boy I sure do love how they turned childhood friendship into a sadomasochistic/outright abusive lesbian relationship, thanks Ryukishi.

I would never justify the MG sprites, they look like ugly goblins with DD sized tits and mouths that take up half of their face. The only one that is ok/passable is Rosa. I'm a purist all the way when it comes to sprites.
As for the new Gou episode, everyone has said everything I wanted to say about it. But hey, at least I finally figured out where Satoshi is. I do find the idea of not-Auau chilling on the couch just watching fragments to be funny.
EDIT: Damn, now I want an edit of Mr. Plinkett not-Auau just reviewing kakeras.

I mean, practically all the grown women (Jessica included) in Umineko have huge tits or are thicc in some way. It's like a staple to the Ushiromiya family, even the second wife.
Then there's Shannon being milked for all she's worth.

I disagree. Yes, while most of the adults and family members have massive fucking tits (it was even mentioned explicitly in the VN iirc) , I think the way the sprites are drawn and the way that they are pronounced and shown are radically different. I'm not an artfag, so I can't articulate it the way one would, but there's a massive difference between the way that the Pachinko/MG sprites show these characters compared to how the other sprites do.
Let's take Natsuhi for example:
There's a clear difference in how her tits have been drawn and the Pachinko sprites always make them 20x bigger than the other sprites. Like they're fucking comically massive in the Pachinko sprites, it's disgusting. It makes it look like a cheap eroge instead of a cheap VN. Like, was it really necessary to make them so big that the clothes around her chest are tight from the size of her milkbags?

She still has noticeably big boobs even in Ryukishi's style, and they look a bit high up to me. I have a feeling the Pachinko (and, well, everything else) sprites are more inspired from the anime. Boobs were more pronounced in the anime, but in just about all media Umineko's in at this point, they're big, Eva's in particular are given prominence whenever possible (though yeah, they're not sticking out like she's going braless).
I'm kinda immune to the fanservice at this point so I don't have issues with them tbh, but again, the anime and manga were a bit inconsistent about bust size, but just about all women in the series had puberty treating them kindly. Not surprising other artists will have their own take on how the characters look, though.

The busts in pachislot version looks like that because their waists are ridiculously tiny in comparison. And for some reason, everyone in that version looks stoned.

This isn't about Gou? Like an actual fanfic? I haven't checked WTC fics in ages past the couple I've fav'ed back in the day, what's this one about?
