Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.4 Himatsubushi

Kyute~

Arguably one of my favourite chapters thus far. Gleaning new insights into the dam construction project (something that was only mentioned via narrative exposition before this chapter) was incredibly compelling. The focus away from Keichi as the central protagonist also helped a lot in having the story not repeat itself for the sake of moving the story forwards like it did before. On that note, new protagonist Akasaka is incredibly endearing. He's a character that's really easy to grapple onto, but his duty-bound personality still allows his narration to serve as a break from Keichi's more naively sheltered accounts from the prior chapters. In particular, I'd have to commend the pacing for this chapter. If I had to say anything, it'd be "short, but tight." Unlike before, there's very few scenes here here that drag out for too long (barring the Mahjong game). Each conversation & narrative piece feels substantial to the plot in some way, & this includes the Tips segments also providing fresh contextual clues that feel important to the overall story while also being incredibly compelling to boot. Of course, I'm not saying the Tips segments from the prior games were anything to scoff at either, but it's just nice to have some consistency in terms of quality for Ch. 4's Tips segments. This is probably the point where I assume Higurashi is going to pick up majorly. Having only started the Answers Arc recently, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where this story takes me !

Ragebaitrashi: When I cry 4 Uh idk how to rlly feel ab this one, it was kinda a nothing soulless burger but better than what is expected of higu. Its a lil worse than 3 with 3 being the best so far. In the party game it literally says this is the best part of higurashi now at the end of the question arcs cuz u can have fun theorizing, no, no u cant. Chars r bland, annoying, or weird. Plot points that lead to questions don't allow for enough led room for interesting conclusions. Danganronpa's battle of truth and lies is a way better format of whats going on here with "is it human or supernatural". The premise is cool but just per usual, the execution is lacking. Tell me how Aizawa is essentially a special services cop given orders by the prime minister or whatever to save his son sent to hinimizawa on this super important mission yet Ooishi is more prepared and capable than him. Aizawa doesn't even draw his gun at first sight of danger within known YAKUZA TERRITORY. He would rather hand to hand combat yakuza members within their own territory with who KNOWS how many their are that can easily overpower and kill them. I remember them saying something about rules of not being able to kill a fleeing criminal by shooting them but what does that have to do with just drawing out the gun in the first place to keep yourself safe!? This dude aizawa is a wannabe dollar store version of Leon S. THE GOAT Kennedy both sent to save the children of super important people. I don't want to hear the excuse of OH this is a horror story they have to be clumsy and dumb. NO THEY DONT, THAT ONLY WORKS FOR MOVIES BECAUSE ITS A SHORT EXPERIENCE THIS IS HOURS UPON HOURS OF A VN BRO STOP. THERE ISNT EVEN ANY HORROR THEY R JUST FIGHTING YAKUZA MEMEBERS AND LOOKING DUMB AND UNPREPARED. AND EXPLAIN WHY THEY OBVIOUSLY DECIPHER THE DOCTOR BEING PART OF THE YAKUZA AND KIDNAPPERS YET OOISHI AND AIZAWA ARE FINE BEING TREATED BY HIM LATER?! DUDE ENEMY TERRITORY HELLO!? Most non-sensical story every blud dont even joke lad. Started 5 and its looking ok but nothings certain with this Ryukishi writer guy he makes the story terrible in the most unexpected ways its kinda entertaining. Its like laughing at a bad movie for how bad it is. I wouldnt recommend buying ANY of these games waste of money there is quite literally no value so far other than making fun of it and crying. Perhaps that is... "when they cry".. it was us the audience all along.. that was the goal of the story...

As always, you should be careful to play the other games in this series before jumping into this one, and I recommend installing 07th Mod for more options. Himatsubushi is a very different chapter from the first 3. It follows a different character, it's shorter, and it feels almost like a side story to the others. But despite that, it's a really solid and sweet story. It made me feel new things compared to the previous games, and features a really fun Mahjong scene for those who know how to play Riichi Mahjong. The afterparty is also well worth it! Definitely recommend.

« Incroyable, l’opening du début est un banger, et même l’illustration de l’opening (musique) ! De toute façon, tous les chapitres que j’ai faits pour le moment sont bien, jusqu’à ce chapitre 4. Du coup, pour en revenir à ce chapitre, le début du scénario est particulièrement excitant, je trouve. C’est d’ailleurs le chapitre le plus court et il a une particularité spécifique par rapport aux autres chapitres : tu peux faire des choix, donc il y a 2 fins. C’est du lourd, je trouve. Et par rapport aux 3 heures de jeu que j’ai faites, j’ai beaucoup aimé, particulièrement l’ambiance des paysages et des décors. Ce n’est pas une exception uniquement sur ce chapitre, tous les autres ont de magnifiques décors. De toute façon, ce sont presque les mêmes décors, mais… hmm, je ne sais pas, va savoir, sur celui-là je le trouve particulièrement gai et “summer”. Peut-être psychologique, ou bien grâce aux nouveaux sons qui sont très joyeux. Bref, je vous le conseille. Pour les nouveaux qui ne connaissent pas Higurashi, ce n’est peut-être pas le chapitre le plus représentatif de l’œuvre, mais c’est le plus court et il est quand même très bien, donc foncez ! »

只有我不会打麻将吗

没想到梨花这篇居然是公安和大石警官的视角。明明不如前几部恐怖，但是在另一种程度上为本作增添了非常神秘的色彩…真相到底是什么呢？

梨花酱可爱，出题篇也告一段落了，寒蝉果然牛逼

Agora o foco mudou para Akasaka e para Ooishi, além da Rika, é claro kkkkkkkkk; sinceramente essa história toma um rumo supreendentemente inesperado a cada capítulo, esse foi o último question arc, então eu realmente me sinto curioso para começar a ter as respostas que tanto aguardo, o jogo é menor, mas ainda vale muito a pena, recomendo.
