Why the fuck is this allowed
At least complain about legitimate bullshit in VNs
>>337006694
what game
>>337006805
I forgot to mention
>It's a 120+ hours long VN with a word count larger than war and peace
>The author calls the readers virgins for thinking the twist is bullshit
The music was decent though
The name isUmineko, the greatest love story ever told
>>337006694
Part 8 was a mistake.
>>337007237
I still liked it and I don't regret all the time wasted on reading it
Shitposting about how terrible it was is fun though
It just sounds so stupid that it seems bullshit
>>337006382
Existing nostalgic relationship plus suspension bridge effect
>>337006382
not quite what happens

>>337006382
Protip:This isn't a coincidence

I'm still mad.

Pic unrelated?
Akane cucks Junpei in the sequel.
>>337006694
>>337006982
this shit is so retarded and convoluted, I can never get into it. I can't even read a summary of this shit, and be able to grasp it. It seems like it was interesting at one point, but then decided to make 30 different tangents at once. Holy fucking shit.
>>337006382
You uh, never finished this game did you? Or play the sequel? Because it's true that a lot of VNs do what you said, but 999 and VLR don't follow that mold.
>>337006382
>MC meets a Childhood friend
>they develop awhoops :^)
>>337009720
Things like this is why I love Dangan Ronpa
>>337009569
But it was really easy to understand until Ep 4
And it's not like it was that complicated at the end
>>337009720
She was suspicious from the start. Good riddance.
>>337010001
I managed until around the 3rd? or 4th time around? I don't remember much because it's been a while. I remember Beatrice joining up with the family in one round. But things just got kind of out there, and I just lost interest.
>>337009960
Because it's easy ti understand and cases solve themselves?
>>337010157
Meta Beatrice and Battler are difeerent characters from the gameboard Beatrice and Batler and come from the 4th wall breaking epilogue and basically argue if the culprit was a witch or not
Think of them as a representation of Battler being the player tryign to figure out the culprit, and Beatrice is the author telling him that he is wrong
As long as you didn't watch the anime you should have been able to understand
>>337008058
>>337008695
>grill uses MC to save herself from getting barbecued

fuck

it's not even complicated
i don't get why people lose their heads over umineko

I'M DONE PLAYING THE ACTION HERO
>>337016046
Why are you allowed?
>>337006694
It's not multiple personalities and they weren't really a psycopath, i don't see what's so bad about any of that. They decided to leave everything up to fate since they felt like they couldn't go against it anyway. Battler was shown to be really easily influenced by emotions and very sympathetic from the very beginning so it's not strange he would forgive her.
if there's anything really stupid in this story it's genji, who decided to entrust a BOMBA and 10t of gold to someone who clearly had a bunch of issues
>>337016046
>your father could pull out
>he didn't
Why is this allowed ?
Why was akane such a bitch?
I get using Jumpy to save herself, but she didn't even thank him
Also why the FUCK did these faggots hype me up to find a somehow alive mummy, have me FIND THE FUCKING COFFIN, and boom it's empty.
What the fuck man
>>337006382
This is the worst example of a stereotypical VN childhood romance though. It's literally a facade to ruse you.
>>337017523
But Alice is the mummy.
>>337017523
Not only that. She created a bunch of timelines where Junpei and company are dead.
Akane is a bitch.
>>337017956
She isnt though
Who was more of a bitch, Akane or Beatrice?
>>337018076
Just wait and see, she will be.
>>337018215
Akane did it or the greater good
Beatrice just wanted the D real bad
Brother and Bern are the biggest bitches
>>337018215
Akane. At leas Bea was crazy.
>>337018215
Beato.
>>337018215
Both did nothing wrong.
>>337018338
I don't think beatrice really wanted the D at that point
she knew none of her relationships would work out because of her "body that cannot love". At that point she just wanted battler to remember and then probably die herself.
>>337014232
If the last game doesn't get him laid he'll forever be a cuck.
>>337006982
To be fair, top right happened when Battler wasn't even controling his own game piece.
>>337018669
He's fucked then. Akane has to die for her sins.
>>337019146
Akane isn't even responsible for SIX TRILLION PEOPLE
>>337015947
But why?
>>337019146
Akane dies all the time, she's the one character who dies the most in both games. She'll die plenty of times in the last game too.
>>337019202
For all we know VLR/999 participants could've die 6 trillion times until Akane achieved her desired outcome or everytime Sigma failed a new timeline where 6 quintillion people got fucked in the ass was created.
Akane is a fucking monster.
>>337015947
Does he have memories from VLR?
>>337019416
So? She can always jump between timelines when that happens. Meanwhile Junpei stays fucking dead.
Bad ending Junpei/VLR Junpei =/= Good ending Junpei
>>337019647
Care to offer a better alternative? It's not her fault lesser espers can mind travel only when exposed to mortal danger.
>>337019647
Old Sigma is just as bad as her, he just doesn't get as much flak for it since he's pretty bro when he's young. Their motives are understandable, creating a single timeline where things are right leads to it branching to an infinite amount of timelines anyway.
I hope Junpei gets his happy ending.
I felt bad for him at the end of VLR after he spent most of his life searching for Akane to no avail
>>337019947
How are they going to retcon this though
>>337019872
Akane remembers burning to death countless times in the incinerator, she's probably so fucked up she wishes she could die for real.
>>337020065
New timeline and shit.
>>337020065
It's getting retconned retroactively by future Sigma's timeloop back to the past.
>>337020065
ZTD is literally Retconning VLR: The Game.
VLR is Setup For Retconning This Game.
>>337019647
Akane is literally giving up her life and the person she loves to save the human race
You guys give her tooo much shit for what she has gone through
Also all time travelers in fiction are the ones tha suffer the most, and Akane has been jumping all over the place for 80 years. Just imagine how fucked up you would end after witnessing every possible outcome and being able to re-do whatever mistake you make
>>337020457
>80 years
More like a billion years or so.
>>337019894
Learn to deal with it? Life goes on. Junpei os proof of that.
>>337019938
Sigma doesn't know better/is a victim.
Get kidnapped>VLR>fuck my arms>work his ass off>ZTD
But yeah, he's doing more harm than good.
>>337020137
She could just stop trying and creating more fucked up timelines. Bitch left Junpei suffer in a post apocalyptic while she was chilling with Siggy.
>>337020627
Sigma after VLR is an esper who's got time to think about shit, saying he's just a victim applies to Akane getting kidnapped too, doesn't mean they both don't know what they're doing. He creates a clone son for the sole purpose of putting him in a death game, and is so autistic in raising him that Akane of all people has to teach him about human contact.
>>337020457
>Akane has been jumping all over the place for 80 years. Just imagine how fucked up you would end after witnessing every possible outcome and being able to re-do whatever mistake you make
God complex much? She keeps redoing everything because she wants muh perfect timeline, not because she has to.
Why did she allow Junpei to suffer during VLR? The world was a mess but she didn't care because that Junpei belonged to a no-no timeline.
>>337020627
Akane doesn't seem to have been on the moon most of the time, Kyle didn't meet her until four years before VLR.
>>337020960
>Why did she allow Junpei to suffer during VLR?
But she is literally doing everything she can so Junpei doesn't have to suffer in apocalyptic earth
>>337020986
So? Junpei could've hanged with Sigma instead of going through garbage to survive.
>>337020851
I agree. But I still cut Sigma some slack because he doesn't have the knowledge of 8 billion timelines.
>>337021123
How so? Old man Junpei would still exist
That's bs.
>>337020960
She has the abilities and means to save the world, why critize her for wanting to? Her methods are questionable, but why is it strange that she wants to save the world? As for Junpei, he made it clear that he doesn't care for working to save an alternate timeline unrelated to the current world.
She should have made a clean break with him instead of letting him chase her, but I don't think he'd stay with her in that timeline anyway.
>>337021224
Brother caused the apocalypse, not Akane
Akane is trying to stop Brother
It's not Akane's fault that Junpei had to live during the apocalypse
But will we knowwhat the fuck is a Funyarinpa?
>>337021141
Not even Kyle liked the Moon, Junpei is the type who saw value in raising a kid in a shit world, even at the end of VLR he says he'd rather go back to Earth than stay with Termites man.
>>337021393
Did you even play 999?
It's a bald clown.
>>337021305
>She has the abilities and means to save the world, why critize her for wanting to?
And everytime she fails a new timeline is born where people have to pay for Akane's 'good intentions'
>As for Junpei, he made it clear that he doesn't care for working to save an alternate timeline unrelated to the current world.
That's after he had to go through garbage to survivr/met quark. Why didn't Akane look for him right after the world went to shit? She gave no fucks about that Junpei because he belonged to a timeline that was below her standards. But that didn't stop her from using him and his adopted son 'for the greater good'
God complex 101
>>337021823
I honestly don't remember that. Is it from the golden files?
>>337021471
Because Kyle is a child that's never been hungry or cold? And of course Junpei wouldn't stay with them post VLR.
>>337021910
Nah, Lotus tells you after you unlock the harem route
>>337021828
I can understand the perspective of ten people, including yourself, dying an infinite amount of times being worth it if you create a new timeline where there are infinitely many branches where 6 BILLION doesn't have to die.
>>337022154
>harem route
My interest is piqued. Which end is this? I must confess that played through 999 in a rush, only completed it 3 times, once on a blind playthrough, once for safe ending and once for the true ending as I was rushing to get to VLR.
>>337022330
Anon please, he's rusing you. There's no harem route.
>>337022309
What about every time ZTD fails? That's a new timeline+6 billion.
>b-but one day she'll succeed
One timeline at the cost of god knows how many and she/sigma/phi will be the only ones to enjoy it.
>>337022686
>One timeline
No, by the series' logic, any timeline will branch off an infinite many times. If you're going to argue that you spend countless many timelines failing to get to a good one, how do you miss the fact that the good timeline also will become infinitely many timelines at every possible and action?

Why is this allowed.
>>337024736
Nigga, they're friends. Maybe it even was Uchikoshi idea.
So we know Q is Schrödinger's cat, but who could it be? Kyle? Carlos' sister? Left? Quark?Clover?
>>337024736
? What?
>>337025282
All of them.
So did this become the new ZE thread?
Romances in video games trigger me like nothing else.
Its that feeling that what they're experiencing right then and there is something you'll never have in your entire life that gets to you.
>>337025282
Won't be Clover, she's going to have a cameo role at best in ZTD. Can't be Quark as he isn't even born yet. Could be Kyle but I think that'd be too obvious a twist, so I'm going to go with Left.

The 16 participants of the final killing game have bracelets that will inject them with an aesthetic every 90 minutes. During the time that everyone is asleep, the traitor among the group will kill someone. Normal killing game rules don't apply so no trials. The goal is to find the traitor as fast as possible to win.
