/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>Can we get a discussion going?

Not likely, discussed at least a dozen times. It was sort of true to Lovecraft though, unlike Demonbane.

>Are there any other translated games like it?

Don't think so.

>>3973928
No, there are no more translations.
Did you like Saya?

How did you feel about Josh? Did you sympathize with his plight, or wish for his destruction?

>>3973936
I did enjoy it quite a bit. My favorite ending was probably the one where Fuminori and Saya get killed, and Kouji goes insane.

>>3973950
GO TO HELL!!!! You have no heart

The manga was better.

>>3973976
Why? I liked the good end(if you could call it one) but it just didn't elaborate enough on what was happening after Saya "bloomed".

>>3973992
oh, you.

>>3974001
There is no good end.

I prefer the original English comic.

They butchered the story when they made it a visual novel.

>>3974006
>(if you could call it one)

Visual novel came first

>>3974073
>I'm ignorant of western comics!

Interesting, last time I check the Visual Novel came out December 26, 2003, while the Comic book is set to come out Feb 2010

English Source:
http://www.idwpublishing.com/news/article/915/

even the web site states that it is base off of the japanese Visual Novel.

Noob is noob

>>3974360
I'm pretty sure the one that can't detect obvious trolling is the one that needs to lurkmoar

>>3973950
>Kouji goes insane.

the only ending

>>3974360
>Thinking the remake is the original comic book

God DAMN, you know NOTHING of western comics.

This is what manga and anime does to people - they lose sight of the truth.

Why don't you reach out to the truth?

>>3973928
What a cool looking axe you got there, Josh.

So, is the comic going to americanize all the characters, and make Saya older?

>>3975053
She's going to made into a strong, independent American woman.

>>3975053
More like, 'Why did Japan make the female horror so girly and give it a name?'

>>3975055
But it already has the shotgun-toting psychiatrist...

I wish I had that SnU mediocre copypasta.

Saya no Uta really doesn't deserve the hype it gets from /jp/. Like the kopipe says, it was "really, really average," at best. It's nothing special; I believe the only reason why it got so many attention and praise from /jp/ was because of all the successive failed translation efforts that hyped the whole thing up. What you desire most is the stuff you can't get, etc.

It managed to set up an intriguing environment and it looked like it the plot was going to be really good. I mean, it had the potential to be one hell of a story, right? Well, then they fucked up by turning it into a completely boring, bland and repetitive VN. I found myself mindlessly clicking away, wondering "Is this going to be over already, I'm so tired of hearing Fuminori whine." Which is amazing, considering how short the whole thing is. That was NOT supposed to happen.

Also, Saya is a disgusting character and I wanted to murder the monster badly through the whole thing, so I never "felt" for the character, like most people claim they do. That may have something to do with it.

>>3977229
That is a very disagreeable copypasta. I actually enjoyed the game, and had no problem with " Fuminoris whining"

It's shit pasta, it's not supposed to make sense.

It is also a bargain game in Japan.

There aren't that many eroges like it.
Even if we say it's average (which seems a contradiction) there's good reason for it to be Nitro+'s little favorite.

Which Lovecraftian monster is Saya supposed to resemble again?

>>3977768
A shaggoth.

>>3973937
>Not likely, discussed at least a dozen times. It was sort of true to Lovecraft though, unlike Demonbane.

And this is why I never come to /jp/ for any VN discussion from recent years.

>>3977768
cthulhu

It's neither good or bad. Personally I didn't feel anything from this game. It was nice since it was something new to read, but looking back it didn't leave a lasting impression. I'm not a big fan on horror novels but this game had a neat spin. Did it do anything cool with the spin? Not really, and in the end the only satisfying ending was the insane one.

>>3977301
You know what makes no sense? The blind and senseless fan faggotry you guys are on about. This shit is mediocre at best in its genre, better than verage as a VN and god damn awful as an eroge.

My educated opinion > The shit you guys call taste

>>3977795
don't care about your opinion; i enjoyed it. words+pictures were executed beautifully.

>>3977795
This shit is the best VN ever made

My educated opinion > The shit you call taste

>>3977306
It's a cheap game because it's short. What does that have to do with the quality?

>>3977795
fuck your opinion; entire production was executed beautifully and perfectly

>>3977806
Me > You 4eva

fuck you guys, i'm off to easymodo

>>3977823
enjoy your tripfag circlejerk

>>3977823
iichan needs some love too.

>>3974001
What is there to elaborate? Saya's spawn took over earth. That's it.

>>3977825
>>3977823

Enjoy your Anonymous Jones.

>>3977869
Well, they could have had a bit more about what would happen with Fumi and Saya at the end...
I was overall satisfied with the game though.

>>3978166
Saya died (obviously), Fuminori... well, who really needs to know what Fuminori did afterwards? He lived happily ever after with his blob children.

>>3977813
Why are you guys being so defensive over some eroge?
You aren't even working for nitro+. Take it easy and learn to accept other people opinions when your favourite games aren't like by everyone.
