Thanks, dude

>>13773476
Many thanks!

Much thanks, nigger.

Thanks dude.
I remember there was a translation of Rei a while back, is this the edited script or a new version?

>>13774296
not this guy but it's just that only Saikoroshi was translated, while Rei also had two other bonus arcs who weren't until this patch.

Is there any working torrent for Rei?
Everything I've found so far has 0 seeders, or even having them it won't download.

>>13775602
I think there was a site just for 07th Expansion stuff full of working MEGA links out there (even for the PS3 version of Sui).

I don't quite remember the name, but the guy who made this site has 2 spanish fan-groups on Facebook (one for Higurashi and other for Umineko).

>Also, Higurashi thread while we're at it.

In this case, is this the continuation of the last thread (archived) for Higurashi (the Steam project stuff, etc..)?

>>13774296
The edited\updated script. That info was in the tumblr post.

>>13775886
You mean this one? It has everything you need. Have fun.

>>13775949
Not a direct continuation, but we can continue the talk from there if you like.

>>13775949
What happened to the official second translation anyway?

Why is it so slow.

>>13773476
Rika looks so noodley

Aren't you like the one guy who supported that satoko faggot?

>>13783048
Does it fucking matter?

>>13783048
Ha ha. People actually remember that? Anyhow, I was just fucking about when I was doing that. I really didn't care about any of it.

I hope each episode on Steam comes with a new set of badges, emoticons, and backgrounds. It's pretty fun collecting them

>>13784533
>Chapter 2 set to be released at the end of 2015.
All chapters finished when? 2018?

>>13784485
Ha ha. Kill yourself, though.

>>13773476
Maybe I'm dumb but what's the difference between the Sui patches and the normal patches?
Is there some differences in the dialogues or just graphic changes?

>>13787935
Didn't you read the readme or even the blog post? It's explained there. The Sui patch is obviously Sui, while the normal patches are the translation with the games original graphics. Simple.

>>13787336
Already did. Ended up in hell and met lord Zenon. He's a real nice guy once you get to know him.

Newfag here. Trying to read Higurashi and I have a few questions.

1. Is the anime as shit as people say it is?
2. How do I install the core VNs? I don't know which torrent to use and I don't know which patches to install.

>>13788592
Oh, and one more question:
3. Which stories should I read? There's Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Kai and Rei and Kira and Kaku and Outbreak and other shit. Which ones do I need to read and which ones should I want to read?

Sorry for being a newfag.

>>13783048
Which Satoko faggot? I don't know this story.

>>13788592

1. No. Actually it's hit or miss. The first season is much weaker, however, I feel the second season is much stronger.

There is a lot of cheese that is cut out of the VN. Akasaka out of nowhere is done much better in the anime and cuts out the silliness of Rika drawing. The conclusion of Minagoroshi is way better in the anime (the time stop thing felt very cheesy and lame, it undermined the heroism of the cast).

Honestly, there are a lot of improvements in the second season of the anime. For the first half of the story, the VNs are definitely better.

>>13788632
Ni -> Kai -> Rei (Rei is the fandisc - not fully translated - wait for MG to tl)
Kira is a few fun little OVAs. You can watch them after you've finished Kai.
Outbreak is some shitty original story. You can watch after you've finished Kai.
Watch the first 4 episodes on Ni no matter what. (They cover the first arc and are pretty well done)

(What you really should be doing after you've read Kai is starting on Umineko)

>>13788821
So overall do you think I should read the VN or watch the anime? Or should I do both?

>>13788870
Is Umineko related to Higurashi? Does it continue the plot or is just a spiritual successor?

>>13788888
I should point out that I've already seen the first season of the anime. Should I just finish the anime and then go back and read the VNs?

>>13788888
Nice pents.

I would do both, but I've always been a fan of re-reading/re-watching shit.

>>13788892
Dear god don't watch S2 before reading Kai.
The general consensus is that S2 is an awful adaptation.
I said watching Ni's first 4 episodes is worthwhile, but there's really nothing about Kai that I can advocate.

Umineko isn't a sequel, but it is related in a few ways that I can't really explain to you if you haven't read it (it's also even better than Higurashi).

>>13788942
Huh. That's interesting, because it's exactly the opposite of what >>13788821 said. OK, then. I'll read the VNs. That the VNs are better than the anime was the consensus I saw, so >>13788821 appears to be in the minority.

I just have one question, which is how I get the damn thing set up. I'm a newcomer to VNs, so I don't really know the procedure. I've only read Chaos;Head and Muv Luv. Total newfag, as I said. What version do I want to download and how do I install the proper patches? Do you have a simple guide to that?

>>13788592
>>13788632
>>13788888
Read the VN first, then watch the anime if you want. VN is better and the intended medium Higurashi was written for.

>>13789080
Understood. The consensus is clear. Seems like >>13788821 is in the minority.

What version of the VN do I want and what patches do I install?

>>13789039
I just checked nyaa and it seems they have everything you need - both prepatched and unpatched.
I'd personally recommend using the original sprites and backgrounds, and patching music/sound (essentially a must).
http://higurashifix.wikia.com/wiki/Tweaking_Higurashi_Wiki Here you go buddy.
Have fun and, if you enjoy yourself, consider supporting MG's release. It's dirt cheap.

>>13789093
Thanks friend.

>>13789093
Why do I want the original sprites? They look kind of bad, honestly. Why shouldn't I get the updated ones?

>>13789174
In my opinion, the original ones are cruder, but more expressive. They're a tad more accurate to context since they were made (and scripted) by the original creator team. I started with those ones, so I have a soft spot for them.
The Steam ones are easier on the eyes, although some of the sprite emotions might not be as accurate as I would've liked them to be.
I can't pitch in about the PlayStation sprites since I've never used them, but the option is there.

>>13789269
I found this version on nyaa. Is this the correct one? Will that have everything I need?

The thread is probably dead by now since I left for dinner...

>>13789913
Bumping once more. Can anyone confirm that the torrent I linked to is correct?

Higurashi ruined my life.

>>13790011
I had a VN ruin my life because I was so obsessed with it that I skipped work to read it. I didn't get fired, but my boss was pissed.

How did Higurashi ruin your life?

>>13790011
You post this a lot, friend. Might I ask how it ruined your life?

>>13790028
What vn was it?

>>13790037
Muv Luv Alternative. I got totally hooked about halfway through and finished the entire second half practically in one sitting. That's 25+ hours of content, so I skipped a night of sleep and didn't go to work.

That was mostly because the job was awful, though. I wouldn't have done that if I cared about the job.

>>13790031

I spent years believing higurashi and umineko were the next great works of human civilization. I wasted years trying to build a philosophy around the stories and their mysteries and meanings. I wasted the best years of my life on mediocre, poorly drawn Chinese masturbatory aids.

>>13790132
>I wasted the best years of my life on mediocre, poorly drawn Chinese masturbatory aids
So did most of us, so don't worry about it

>>13790132
Christ, dude. They're great, but they aren't THAT fucking great. It isn't Higurashi that ruined your life. It's you being a moron that ruined your life.

>>13790155
>>13790146
Y'all niggers getting baited.

>>13790057
There is just something about Muv Luv, its really strong. I thankfully read it when i was in Holidays but after i finished it i was like mind broken, no drive for anything. Thank god there were lots of thats about muvluv at that time so i could atleast get my suffering and excitement off my chest. I Think if i read it while working i would have lost a day or two on Alternative aswell.

>>13773476
The whole thing is lacking the CGs, sunset mode and a graphic script check though, (like with a night background being used all of a sudden at day), would still need a bit more work to be optimal.

>>13791868
I know. Though I spent enough time working on all that shit, so I'm not gonna bother. Someone else can do it. But there are only a few CG's in the entire thing, anyhow. It's no game breaking experience without them. Also, I'm busy with other shit at the moment. Make a to do list and I'll get on it when I can if no one else does. However, which night background displays at day? I'm sure I replaced them all correctly.

>>13789998
Just download it instead.

>>13792014
> which night background displays at day?

Literally at the very start of Saikoroshi. The problem isn't to replace them correctly. Because they're photos the original were a bit randomly done at times and the difference between night and day wasn't as obvious as with Alchemist, that why it had also day backgrounds in night scenes.

>>13792038
Ah. Got ya.
