JUEGO DE MRDA
I was driven into feelings of disgust and even hate towards Fimonori's actions, but those feelings were not as intense towards Saya's. I could accept her nature before questioning it. But why not his? It is hard to accept more of manhood's betrayal of their opposite-gendered kind as a human nature, in a story where he raped, enslaved, killed and cannibalized on women mainly. Did Saya take her human form deliberately, knowing that she isn't puzzled by what a man wants, or was it the making of a man's distorted perspective based on previous ideas of beauty and desirability? Either ways, how is that Saya's fault if it is? And how can I believe his love for her if he would have hated her true form the way he is hating on what he's perceiving now as his friends? Why is it so hard to empathize or love something ugly?
[h1]TL;DR[/h1] "Saya no Uta", the highest ranked on [url=https://vndb.org/v] vndb [/url] (visual novel database) is a censored [i](Steam Version that is)[/i], overhyped and flawed story. It starts off strong but drags out and feels repetitive for the majority of it. It requires a lot of "suspension of disbelief" for the story to work—it's hard for me to take it seriously. It just isn't that well thought out, which is a shame—cause at the core it has a good foundation and premise that I really wanted to enjoy. It also being a fairly short story (6-12 hours depending on text speed and if you go for all three endings), it doesn't have enough time to build up the characters, making it tough to care for what happens to said characters which is another pitfall here. If only it were longer and more fleshed out (pun not intended) it could've be something actually good. [h3] Note [/h3] I got all 3 Endings (100%) in 11.7 hours in the following orders 1. Neutral Ending (9.8 hours) 2. True Ending (+1.6 hours) 3. Bad Ending (+14 min) [h1]Pros[/h1] [list] [*][b]Music[/b]: There's no denying that this game has some great soundtracks! (Schizophrenia being my favorite but they're all bangers - except "Savage", ruined the vibe on the endings) [*][b]Endings[/b]: Regardless of my feelings for the game, the endings are actually good. They all offer something unique and ends nicely. Standout being the True Ending (so if you don't get it on your first time, it kind of lacks the impact when you just reload from a save file like I did) [*][b]Strong start and finish[/b]: It has a intense start and is very good and has actually quite good endings. [*][b]Settings[/b]: Customizable settings are always welcomed. [/list] [h1]Cons[/h1] [list] [*][b]Too Short (5-12 hours)[/b]: Makes it hard to build up characters and the world for the player to care for anything. [*][b]Censored Version (Requires buying a Unscensored Patch!)[/b]: Steam Version is the Censored Version. To get the "Director's Cut" or the "Unscensored Version", you have to buy the patch from the Developers website (€2.96): jaststore.com/games/np004_dlc/saya-no-uta-the-song-of-saya-dlc-steam [*][b]Stupid Characters[/b]: Good ol' classic horror tropes that will frustrate you due to stupid decisions and characters. [*][b]Bad Storytelling[/b]: While I said it started strong and ended well—the meat of the game is not good. It's also kind of obvious where it is headed and lacks any real sense of twists that you didn't already see coming. The premise is interesting at first, but as you think more about it and as it progresses it just seems so full of illogical "holes" and inconsistencies that ruins immersion. Perhaps I'm just silly to try make sense of a crazy fictional story, but yeah it kind of makes little sense if even try to think about it. So just take it for what it is and don't think I guess? I don't know - it just ends up silly in the end. I thought the story would explore more themes that it started with, but ended just following a basic structure and not exactly featuring much that you surprise you. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's just...isn't too thought out I suppose. [*][b]Repetitive Visuals[/b]: There are very few different character "sprites" or envoirment, after a while it just gets very stale and repetitive with little variation. Same places - same rooms - same everything. [*][b]No 2560x1440 Resolution[/b]: Max is 1920x1440 [*][b]No Gamepad Support[/b] [/list]
[h1]客观上的神作,但我不知道神在哪[/h1] 剧透警告,主观论点警告 受到推荐所以想跳出舒适圈试试看,玩上一两个小时感觉压力暴大,但其实玩完之后感觉还好,比起表面上的血腥与猎奇这部作品远没有这么简单,但我认为也同样没有那么深刻。大体上就是一个拥有精神创伤的男主被这种精神疾病折磨地死去活来之后偶遇异种族的沙耶,跨越种族的爱情而因此产生的一系列故事。但我想问真的是这样吗,沙耶或许是在学习人类的知识中理解(甚至是否真的理解)人类的爱情,因为她此时的心智可以类似单纯的小姑娘一般天真,但男主仅是恰好在此时遇上了看上去犹如人类一般而不是怪物的沙耶从而获得慰藉。 我仍然得出男主仍然是人类的结论,尽管后续的种种行为从上帝视角来说让他可以称之脱离了人类的行为认知,但从主观视角来说被精神疾病折磨了几个月仍然能保持理性而尽量克服感性已经堪称超人了,你我又不是圣人,怎能刻薄地抛弃这些站在制高点指责郁纪呢。 所以我不理解这部作品神在哪,无论从郁纪,沙耶,耕司和医生的角度,他们的所作所为都是理所应当的,从所有人的视角出发都是为了自身也好为了生存也好不得不互相残杀,谁都理所应当,那究竟是什么错了。那我会回答是男主郁纪,虽然男主此时的主观视角认知已经和平常人类不一样了,但正如前面所说男主仍处于人类的范畴,说到底男主和沙耶所谓的纯爱,真的仅仅是此时正好是沙耶而已,自始至终一结局或三结局男主自己的主观视角仍然对平常人类认知有追求(以及为了满足自己的极度自私),瑶被改造了也欣然接受(这段也是相当出生),杀好友的时候更是说“他在杀人类,而我是在杀怪物”,说好听点是披着人皮的怪物,难听了就是出生,换言之此时是不是沙耶都不重要,谁都可以是沙耶只要是在郁纪眼里认知正常的,人在溺水的时候会抓住身边一切可能的东西。 但仍然是正如前面所说,你我不是圣人,如果舍身处境在男主的环境,每天被疾病折磨没疯真的不错了,这些指责真的是站在了道德的制高点,又凭什么不能让郁纪去感受这点慰藉呢。所以在最后我不理解这部作品,我想起之前一个问题“如果你女朋友和你妈同时落水你先救谁”,这种问题本身就没有讨论的必要,所有的矛盾和回答都情有可原,那我到底该做出什么选择呢。 沙耶在短短几个小时能给我这么多思考,也确实是神作了吧,但是所谓的纯爱也好或者关于爱情的思考也好,我实在是难以理解甚至一开始都不知所云,事实上我赞和踩都不想点,写了一堆话发泄一下仅此而已
永远陪着我吧,沙耶
Pretty good game, eating while playing made the experience even better.
越长大越觉得男主是个傻福
