Thread 723760238

have you played it? i can't emulate it on my shity phone. is the remake really that bad?

>>723760238 (OP)
I played the original when the fan-translation came out, and it was fucking amazing.

yu no i cum

>>723760238 (OP)
YEAH
YU-NO WHAT IT IS

A couple of these aren't a bad change. Like ponytail labcoat in the middle.
>>723761198
This one is just painful.

Also, I've seen some of this posted on here many times, (including videos of the saucer on the table scene), but this is the first I'm seeing that elf chicks are involved. Whatever this game is somehow gets more interesting over time.

She has no ass on the right, literally looks like Hank hill.

It can't be that bad, right?

>I haven’t played either and never will but look at this :OOOO
Damn, pretty sad that one of the most popular games in 90s Japan is being reduced to old vs. new comparison pics on this shitpost board.

I hope there's a special place in hell for people producing demakes.

The girl is less thicc, and the guy looks like a faggot in the nu version.

This is like the perfect embodiment of the SOUL/soulless dichotomy

>>723760238 (OP)
The best part is the absolute banger soundtrack. Actual game has a lot of meandering, repeat sequences and bullshit pixel hunting. If you are going to play it, play it with a guide or be prepared to waste a lot of time.

>>723760238 (OP)
I haven't played the remake but it looks absolutely soulless compared to everything in the original. Butchering the Ryu Umemoto music alone is more than enough justification to skip it.
The original is questionably good but it's certainly memorable, especially after the 'halfway' point (really more like 80% into the game). It was ahead of its time on some things, like having the game flowchart exist in-universe and having a justified reason for it being there

It's a flawed gem but man, the original is magical

honestly, the remake is old enough to be considered soulful at this point

That's water, not her but crack

>>723760238 (OP)
tried the saturn version like a decade ago, just a giant memory hole to me

>>723760238 (OP)
I need to replay this

Also you can play it on your phone now, there was a pc-98 translation that your phone should be able to emulate. You don't get to hear Link talk but I assume it's still pretty fun

>>723768153
It's not that old and it's not soulful at all. OST is an okay remix to be fair

>>723760238 (OP)
I don't like it. It has some moon logic puzzles that can't be solved without a guide and also it has weird route flowcharts. 10/10 music, 10/10 art, 7/10 story, 3/10 gameplay.

>>723769623
ehh never mind I just gave it a try
Maybe it's because I used retroach version of Neko project ii or maybe it's because I needed to use the Kai verison
But it's super bugged out, on Android anyway

Pseud coomer faggot shit.

What the fuck is wrong with her?

>>723768007
I was honestly enjoying it way more before the final route but it was still worth the time to experience. The entire other world segment is so long I swore it was wrapping up but it just kept going and the length fatigue was a factor but the ADV gameplay was actually pretty fun and it's gone.

>>723771986
Best gaming experience of my life I thought it was like 10 minutes long and got something like the same length as the main game. Weird feeling playing something where you have literally no idea when it will end in the slightest, as every estimate you make keeps getting BTFO

>>723770650
The worst thing about it was how you could miss a gem because you didn't click on some random point in the screen so you had to redo a whole route just to have another chance to get it.

>>723771764
I hated that dopey bitch by the end of her route. Fucking braindead idiot.

>>723760238 (OP)
The gameplay is underappreciated, even if its dragged down by the "click everything twice to progress" standard of the era. Collecting more gems to leave at important points so that you can experiment more to find out how to get on the more complicated routes is great design. I really wish a game would copy and expand on this system while removing all the annoying pixel hunting and random wandering to trigger arbitrary flags. It's a shame that people are recommended guides to skip all the exploration but visual novel fans don't want gameplay and most people who want adventure gameplay aren't going to read through hours of text; YU-NO is a massive victim of its niche.

>>723760238 (OP)
The fan translation is good and since it has both the PC98's superior graphics and music and also the Saturn port's voice acting it really is the optimal way of playing the game.
