うみねこのなく頃に散 ~真実と幻想の夜想曲~ 限定版

The original sprites seem ugly at first but I warmed up a lot on them very quickly. They're super expressive and I can't imagine playing it without them, so I'd recommend just playing the Windows version.

Voice acting from characters like Battler and Beatrice really elevate many scenes. I also find that the ps3 art is faithful to the intent of the original.

Steam version with Umineko Project, voice acting is ++++++ its worth it

i'm a hardline OG sprites person for higurashi, still prefer them for umineko but i'm a bit less of a hardliner. they fit higurashi so well imo because the super caricatured style sells Big Teenage Emotions better than more professional art. i still think there's something to ryukishi's sprites in umineko but there are moments i think hit harder with the ps3 ones.

it's really a personal preference thing. regardless you can mod the steam version however you like so just play it on steam.

yeah pretty much

sayo is bi as well, also bernkastel and lambdadelta are lesbian as fuck

chapter 8 has some interactive stuff, otherwise:

the definition of video game is
a game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a television screen or other display screen.

visual novels fit this description

"a game played" you dont play visual novels you read them, if they fit that description then ebooks and webcomics would also be considered video games

semantics. it's a game because it's an interactive novel utilizing a controller/keyboard+mouse. It's a video game in the same way Night Trap is a video game, it's a pretty broad definition.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

It is based on rating distribution and I don't see why people would consider it a bug.

i really just dont understand how the charts work to say whether they are glitchy or not

from what i understand it's not a bug. the chart placing is correct, but the displayed score and its calculation is incorrect.

yeah the actual average is around 4.4
