Trying to find a translated version of higurashi that has all four chapters... The Manga Gamer version * only has Onikakushi, Watanagashi, and Tatarigoroshi, Himatsubushi is completely missing.
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All.
Huh? The version I played was Manga Gamers and it does have Himatsubushi, dude.
Though, it only appears on the Story Select Screen after you played all the others.
Or cleared them through the Extra option.
Oh, sweet! Thank you, or I would have wasted my time looking.
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All.Of course, most of them aren't really needed to be explained, stuff like that has a perfectly mundane solution. (It's either a coincidence, or the culprit saw the scene and did it to freak Natsuhi out, for instance.)
In other news:
Umineko's coming to the PSP, and Chiru is getting a PS 3 remake.
I am going to pitch a fit if witch hunt does not finish translating Episode 8 before the PS 3 version comes out.
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All.I finally started reading (I refuse to call it "playing") the Higurashi VNs. I think, it's a bit more intense than the manga adaptation. Probably mostly because of the music, which is quite... moody. But the graphic description of Tomitake's death didn't help either.
But I really like it. When I finish Onikakushi, I'll probably read Tsumihoroboshi next, instead of continuing with the original arcs. I really liked that arc, I only saw the anime version (after reading the beginning of the manga) but even that one nearly made me cry.
People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.
The anime you mean? Yeah, I like the original graphics better. They made way too much unnecessary chances to the character design (like making George a bishonen for no reason at all). Battler and cute!Maria are one of the feel characters that become better at the anime. But but, even then creepy!Maria is absolutely shit there. Since the PS 3 graphics follow the anime design, I don't like them either. The 'troll faces' are less deformed then the anime, but I think they are inferior to the original, so I wouldn't see any advantage in modding the game to have these graphics.
Higurashi in the other size, has really shitty original graphics and the PS 2 ones are actually quite good. The 'evil eyes' are not quite as good, I would say, but nothing to hinder my enjoyment (and are not as frequent as Umineko's 'troll faces'). The minor design changes are minor, so it don't bother much.
In both cases, however, I have to say I love the original background more then anything else. I love the 'photoshoped photography' style.
PS:After looking again, Umineko's PS 3 sprites are not that close of the anime design and actually look really good (no overly bishonen George). The 'troll faces' are still shit, though.

Finished episode 7. Before reading throughout, I told myself that I should really try harder to figure everything out. I didn't listen to myself and now I regret it. Oh well.
