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.

[up] So what did you think of the "answers" that Ryukishi gave?

"If I touch my enemy, it's over, so I don't need to put effort in destroying them."

For the closed rooms?

That, and Beato's backstory.

I didn't mind Beato's past. I wish there would've been a clear solution to all the closed rooms.

But there are.

Think for a minute about what Will said, and it'll all make sense.

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.

[up]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.

Just curious, are the little tricks in story explained? Like Natsuhi getting the scorpion thingy from Jessica and the marks on her door. Or did Battler not seeing that = disproven?

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.)

Oooh. A PSP version sounds nice. Also, Ougon Musou Kyoku 2 and the PS 3 remake are coming on Winter 2011/2012.

I am going to pitch a fit if witch hunt does not finish translating Episode 8 before the PS 3 version comes out.

Any of you see the OP for the X Box fighting game yet?

...I like it better than the original one.

When George looks more badass than Battler, something is wrong.

I've known about it since the beginning. But I just refused to believe it.

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.

Boredom has finally driven me to pick this up, and this time I will not be defeated by the terrible graphics.

I plan to. As I recall, the first time I did have at least the patched graphics.

This level of trolling is reasonable for Commander Obvious. What do you think of this, everyone?

[up]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.

I have caught myself thinking of the detective Ooishi as Mister Tasty. I know it's not spelled the same, but it's amusing.
