I've heard tons of praise for Higurashi...

I've heard tons of praise for Higurashi, finally gave chapter 1 a chance and was pretty impressed by some of the psychological horror. It had a satisfying end that also set up a cool mystery.

What the fuck is up with chapter 2? The story just resets and it does all the same shit again but not as well? It's so disappointing.

Are the rest of the chapters worth the time?

There is an overarching story. Right now you are in the "questions" part, which is the first half of Higurashi. It will all make sense when you get to the second half, the "answers" part.
But yes, the timeline "resets", and the second half is all about fixing this.

All the chapters are interconnected but this is not explained until later
Also there are no aliens in the story.

The game resetting is part of the story. Higurashi is not all that good, though.

Take the redpill and skip to Umineko.

I'm midway through chapter 6 and am absolutely enthralled. Definitely worth playing through.

My problem is that I bought the steam version and its apparently incomplete. A new chapter comes out next week then there's another chapter that'll probably come out next year. I thought this game was pretty old. Not sure if I should play a different version or just wait.

Just watch the anime.

>Higurashi is not all that good, though.

Anyone have a link to Higurashi with all the sprite and voice mods already installed and patched in?

it works well. Mirai Nikki is amazing. Same as Happy Sugar Life.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS GIVE HER THEM DAMN DOLL, KEIICHI

actually I mixed that up with Mion, ignore this.

I mean I can tell that's where chapter 2 is going. It's just really obvious and feels contrived & boring compared to evil haunted town.

it all resets for a reason. just continue or watch the anime.
if you gonna drop it now for that reason, that's pretty gay.
if you want to avoid massive spoilers leave now.

You're right though

Is the steam version the best version right now? Visually I mean.

isn't there a version where people mod in the ps2 spites? I'm not sure.

it comes with original, ps3 and updated sprites doesnt it?
you can just toggle at will

It's subjective.

It's OG,PS2, steam?
What's the difference between 3 and 4?
Also, is the steam version complete?

>Visually I mean.
Definitely

>umineko post chapter 5
Yeah. Nope.

Steam version can do all of these except #3 (which is the PS2 look).

Steam has 1-6 to buy. 7 is up for pre-order. 8 is nowhere to be found at the moment.

Is 8 the last chapter? They mention on the mangagamer blog that its out of editing

It's the final core chapter, yes. There are numerous spin-offs and console exclusive arcs though.

>There are numerous spin-offs and console exclusive arcs though.
Are they worth checking out?

Found the pic.

Some of the console arcs have already been translated and can be played on the PC if you have the Steam versions of the base game.

Honestly, Higurashi is so long and so heavy on slice-of-life, I've no idea why would you want EVEN MORE filler. But here you go:

kino

>What the fuck is up with chapter 2?
It's meant to be a very long build up for Meakashi (Ch. 5). Supposedly all the cool twists are worth the 20 hours you waste on Watagashi. But I dunno, you literally learn jack shit in Watagashi. I wish I skipped it back then. It's so repetitive and full of padding.

The big twist: it was the other twin who's the mastermind.

Thanks for the info

Yeah, Mion never does anything crazy, all arcs where Mion is crazy is either Shion disguising as her or Keiichi hallucinating

Chapter 6 is the best chapter. Change your taste retard.
