Finished reading Higurashi chap 4. A bit underwhelming after the greatness of chap 3, but still a breath of fresh air from the main episodes. This time I found the sound direction quite strange, with a lot more silenced moments and some drastic changes between two pieces. Moreover, in the script there is a moment in which the narrator brutally switches from the first person to Akasaka, don't know if it is some sort of translation error or if it was an intentional but awkward choice by R07.
May is ending and obviously neither Muv Luv nor Dies Irae are making it, so I'll take a break from VNs and wait for one of those two to finally be out.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
So, with Higurashi... if I only played the Question Arc now, and waited for the rest of the Answer arc to be released, how satisfying of an experience would it be? I am not on-board with cliffhangers.
Each chapter is a stand-alone-ish story that connects to a larger whole, there's no real reason to wait for any of the chapters to be released.

Sekai Project has a Kickstarter for Hoshizora No Memoria up. Looks like there'll also be an 18+ version done too.
Like a sucker, I'll do it for the physical LE >_>
I don't really agree, the episodes can be read alone up to a certain point, but waiting months/years to get answers is gonna hurt the experience. You want to be able to remember some of the finer details when you read the last episodes
... And the fandisc. Considering it has an after story of the white-haired girl which name I'm totally forgetting right now, I'm totally in :lol:
In other news, I'm surprised to see that neither Shizuka nor Hours Left have jumped in here to talk about the new brand SP developed for BL and Otome games.
I've seen it. It's Sekai Project. They've tried backing a BL title in the past and we all know how that turned out.

Same here XD.
Completely unrelated to the previous discussion but I think everyone here had this thought while playing MuvLuv Extra:
(from the fandisc Kimi wa Nozomu Muv Luv applying the Freaky Friday flip trope)

Fuuuck me I just finished Utawarerumono. Can't wait for the sequel now. That epilogue was really something else and knowing that these characters will reappear in the sequels has me excited beyond measure.

That reminds me. I played Utawarerumono a long time ago hence I don't remember it that well, so I want to refresh my memory before getting into the sequel. Anyone know if the anime is good for that?
So hyped for The False Faces.

It'd be perfect! The game obviously has more scenes and development but the anime is a good substitute, especially since you've played it before. Easy to watch too, as it's streaming on Funimation or available on Amazon US for $20.That reminds me.

If you watch the anime and the oavs you'll see everything from the game except maybe 1or 2 scenes and stuff that they can't show in the anime adaptation thanks to it being broadcasted.
The first anime is a great way to refresh your memory.
I'm looking forward to Uta tomorrow, since the anime was so poorly done. Weird pacing, and I had so many more questions, after knowing the story of the first Uta (unless I need to wait for the third game for answers?) The anime just felt rushed and inconsistant, especially with the characters.

Hell yes, was going to post it now. So much looking forward this one.

Is Dies Irae still out next week?
I heard it was super rushed. It's kind of hard to fit a VN into something that short of a show. Only something like Planetarian can work, since the VN itself was really short (and the anime did a great job on it!)
EDIT: So now there's Grisaia: Phantom Trigger pt 3??? *sigh* Going to Indiegogo instead of KS again. I wonder if it'll even be included in the Grisaia complete box (I ordered it...)

Who knows at this point.

There was always going to be a part 3.

Well , from the start , the number of parts for phantom trigger were "unclear".
I'll wait since i haven't started Part 1 or 2
They just send to backer in $1500 tier and up that the 24th of May will be the last day to change their submitted names for the ending credits, so it's heading somewhere.
The Grisaia Complete box only includes the first group of Grisaia games. The Phantom Trigger games are separate, but I do hope there's room for part 3 in the PT box.

Might have to get in on the Grisaia box... cuz unless I'm mistaken, they've released some, but not all, of the chapters on Denpasofft. I swear, the way they run that store is beyond moronic. I would buy so much stuff there if they'd actually sell me the stuff I want, because I like being able to buy VNs DRM-free, but half of the shit the carry is that Sakura nonsense.
I wonder if some kind soul will port the translated assets to the PC version, as happened with Steins;Zero
I'm sure it'll happen, but I wish PQube did Noah before.

Josh from Limited Run Games it taking suggestions of games to localize. Shizuka & Aokage have already hit him up with some great VN suggestions.

Finally! I just hope it'll receive a bit more time getting typos and such fixed compared to S;G0.

Excellent news. I'd love to play more of the Science Adventure games, especially on console
. Does one need to read Chaos;Head first beforehand or can you get by with skipping it (ie is it like how you should read Steins;Gate before reading Steins;Gate 0)?calc84maniac

It's certainly not a Steins;Gate -> Steins;Gate 0 situation. It has a different cast of characters, and though they were personally affected by the events of Chaos;Head to some extent, this should* all be explained as needed.
Though I'm not sure how badly Chaos;Head itself is spoiled in Chaos;Child, and your preconceptions going into Child would certainly be different had you played Head first. And you'd likely miss references. But the story should be self-contained while referencing Chaos;Head as backstory.
*I haven't played it yet of course, but I've heard things.

It is a bit disconcerting that Dies Irae is supposedly out in a week, and yet there's no Steam pages up or anything...

Fan translation on PC only. The console versions (Chaos;Head Noah) are a director's cut with more story routes, but I don't think the extra routes would be that relevant to Chaos;Child.
Yet they sure know how to ask for more money in weekly updates.
