Fuck Star Ocean 3. Worst plot-twist ever.

>Higurashi is some ridiculous bullshit trying to be deep but it has cool gore

>Umineko is a lame "mystery" that keeps 4-5 threads of the same shit basically stickied on /jp/ 24-7

It's that time again.

>>2963014

Wait, seriously? God dammit, I just started that game today...

I like the sci-fi elements. ;_;

>>2963030
u mad?

Star Ocean 2 is the best of all.

>>2963030
This. I think I actually see more Umineko threads than Touhou threads now.

>>2963076
Which is sad considering how overrated Umineko is.

It's as bad as Type-Moon.

>>2963076
You say that as if Umineko isn't better than Touhou.

>>2963083

R.I.P. Maria Anon. Actually not really, I still sense his aura on /jp/.

>>2963030

Umineko, not so good. Not so good at all.

>>2963090
Why can't you see that Chisato is the superior Star Ocean female?

Although, I do miss Maria Anon. ;_;

>>2963076

This is even more apparent on the Newfriend Weekends.

You know how much newfriends love Umineko.

>>2963099

There really needs to be more fanart of her.

>>2963082
Agreed.

>>2963030
I don't recall Higurashi ever trying to be deep. But yes, there are too many Umineko threads on /jp/, and it will only get worse in the future with the anime and Ep. 5.

Star Ocean is pretty bad.

>>2963119
You say that as if these threads ACTUALLY obstruct anything.

>>2963115
It's disturbing how so very few pictures I have of her, even though she's my favorite SO character.

>>2963126
I did not. Having one topic dominating a board is never a good thing though.

ITT: People hate things based on popularity.

>>2963253

Kira Kira was popular in Japan. I like it a lot.

>>2963253
You don't have to hate Umineko to think that there are too many threads about it on /jp/. I actually like it a lot, but unfortunately the fanbase is terrible.

>>2963290
Everything's fanbase is horrible, what the hell were you expecting?

>>2963480

/jp/'s Sengoku Rance fanbase is pretty cool.

>>2963488
Not really.

They are just Type-Moon fans lite.

>>2963480
There are many things you can discuss on /jp/ without too much idiocy. Touhou, Type Moon, and now Umineko are the exceptions.

>>2963488
nah

>>2963290
Have you seen any of the serious discussion threads? When Ep4 was fully translated I must have read 8-10 100+ reply threads over a week or so that were almost nothing but intelligent discussion, and even with very little of people taking themselves too seriously and getting mad at each other. To me it seems that /jp/ Umineko discussion threads are about as good as this part of the internet gets.

>>2963030
Higurashi is too complex for you.

>>2963521
I have. I don't see what's so great about people circlejerking over their theories. It's pretty much the same thing as Type Moon powerlevel discussions.

>>2963521
Most of these posts are probably people like ZUN, who dislike things just to be contrary or it's popular.

>>2963509

This pretty much.

>>2963541

Once again, I do like popular things. Sengoku Rance and Kira Kira immediately come to mind. So I'm not really sure where you're getting this from. And I am looking forward to the future threads about Kazoku Keikaku (another extremely popular game) when the rest of /jp/ finally plays it.

>>2963539

.. It is? But it's people actually figuring shit out, not bullshit semantics about how powerful something is. It's actual solutions to things.

>>2963539
You must not like Umineko, then. Which would make finding the threads being everywhere annoying pretty reasonable.

>>2963567
At this point no one is figuring out anything, which is why it's pointless circlejerking. It's always the same arguments and counterarguments, just like powerlevel threads. And there is plenty of bullshit semantics in those threads as well, just of a different kind.

>>2963582
It's one of my favorite visual novels.

ITT - KS Devs being jealous about Umineko.

Said it much better than I ever could have.

Fanwank is always bad, and the Umineko/TM threads are full of it. That's the only reason I compare them to Bleach/Naruto/etc. The same type of fanwanking went on in those threads as well back in old /a/.

For the record, I have played Umineko and I listen to the OST quite often. And I will play Umineko Kai (or whatever it's titled) when it comes out. But in the meantime I'll actually play amd discuss other VNs. The large amount of Weekend Friends who haven't played anything else besides Umineko (and possibly KS as well) are slightly disappointing though.

Umineko is a mystery series. The whole point of the series is to discuss what's happening, and trying to solve the mysteries. It's part of what makes a mystery series enjoyable. It's a bit silly to compare it to Type-Moon power levels.
