Hi people, I was wondering if anyone knew how to text hook the Steam version of Umineko. If anyone has a hook code for ITH/ITHVNR, that would be sweet. I tried alternative methods with CheatEngine, but the method of finding hook codes this way never works for me. (I spent several hours on it, following videos and tutorials, but it never works out) Thanks if anyone can help.

I tried the Game.exe and the Hook Code (/HQN-4@304003D:Game.exe) but I get an error: vnrcli:UnsafeInsertHookCode: FAILED: module not present vnrcli:NewHook:WARNING: failed to insert hook

You probably just have to change the text speed to full/immediate. It's a common thing with VN engines and text hooking.

Found it somewhere and reuploaded to Mega and Google Drive, then realized we're apparently not supposed to share links around here. Welp.

I considered a file corruption. I wonder how that could've happened, though, so I'll try another version. Ah, I'll try changing the format first. I only adjusted the time *edit* http://i.imgur.com/qX6d6QJ.png Woo! Changing the time format worked. Thanks guys

The game just stops working after this point - http://i.imgur.com/NOVymuB.png I'm in Japanese Locale, I tried changing my time to Japan's time. I tried installing the update from the official site, and also tried using the English Prologue partial patch, but it breaks at the same spot regardless. I haven't seen this specific error posted, so I don't know what to do.

This was fun to listen to my babe, Ken (shcboomer) and all the other guys. The Kyousuke hate was suffering ;x Lots of good convos, though.

I think it has some pretty well developed romance, although it's more plot-intense and interesting than intimate. There isn't too much heartrending drama until the end, and was kind of a lot of mundane slice of life to get through, but the ending made me love it and reflect on the story in its entirety. The characters aren't anything special, but it has some similarities with Little Busters' Refrain route. It can be very rollercoaster-like emotionally once you get through each route. Each route was satisfying in its own way and brought some different feelings for me, and the OST was sweet, though I sucked at the rhythm games and skipped them. I didn't expect to cry from it, but I did, hard ;_;

What is bad shounen?

Best overall: Refrain, then After Story. Moon route might also be up there... definitely not Terra. Best character route: Obviously Masato's Muscle Sensation from Little Busters Seriously though, probably Lucia from Rewrite or Haruka/Kud from Little Busters. Favorite heroine: Kurugaya

Pros about Rewrite: Varied routes- different sides of a coin, so to speak, but with some overlying purposes Deeper than average, coherent plot Ryukishi07's Lucia route- this guy wrote Higurashi, and of course, Lucia's route. I wish he would write more stuff. His writing is pretty engaging and eloquent. Not much Key PTSD, although Romeo Tanaka's true route is definitely not something Jun Maeda would come up with nowadays. Jun Maeda writes more fulfilling endings, usually, but the Tera route was extremely hit or miss for some people, and was generally less than well received. Amazing soundtrack- this VN packs nearly 70 OST songs that are varied and of high quality. There are some unique songs for each of the route, and they feel natural and great to listen to. It's probably one of Key's best OSTs. Cons: If you're looking for a nakige, you might not get exactly what. The drama is good, but dubious in the feels department. It's a relatively long read. The routes are longer than normal Key routes, but compared to Grisaia... they're actually not that long actually. There's some fairly good development. It was a bit hard to follow back when I read it, though. Varied writers = varied quality. I personally thought Lucia's route far exceeded some of the other routes overall, and was better than the true route. Most multi-route VNs suffer from this problem, though. Chihaya's was a shouneny route that some people didn't like, for example, in Rewrite, although others (myself included) found it enjoyable. Lack of romance: I didn't see much romance in this VN aside from Lucia's route and some scenes in other routes. It was more about the story and drama. There's some somewhat similar story buildup in each route, and restarting and being re-told about information can become pretty tedious, moreso than something (for example) Fate/Stay Night's routes that leave out some of the basic info about the Holy Grail War in the later routes. I wanted more of an impactful and climactic story. Terra fight fairly anticlimactic. Yoshimune Kouki's Muv-Luv Alternative did a much better job of doing what Romeo Tanaka was against doing with his true route: combining elements of the previous routes without breaking the character attachment bonds with the reader, but rather, strengthening them. Romeo Tanaka I think emphasizes subtlety in his writing, but at the cost of servicing his fans as much. He's a great and eloquent writer, but he's kind of a hard guy to figure out. His tendency to stray away from the norm in his execution and endings makes him stand out, but at the same time, I think he gets a lot of hate from more casual readers.

Finishing Grisaia no Kaijutsu (1 route left), might read AIR but I heard there are some save bugs, then I'm going to read my manga backlog. I'm hesitant to start Umineko because of how long as hell it is, waiting for Steins;Gate JAST release for maybe some better quality. I watched the anime (wish I didn't) so I'm not quite looking forward to playing it atm. Also waiting for Tsukihime remake...

If you can't handle the verbose writing in Grisiaia, you won't last more than a few minutes in Cross Channel. CC was practically personal preparation for Grisaia, for me. From what I played of Konosora, it seemed to have a similar premise to Grisaia and Sharin no Kuni, but with a more beta protagonist. You're probably just thrown off by the good writing. Try the LB VN, because the anime sucked, or maybe some of the other stuff I mentioned. Hoshimemo was pretty good anyway. Never heard of Hourglass of Summer.

10/10, I agree for the most part. I think F/SN pulls it off well, and in Steins;Gate, Okabe's chuunibyou delusions would be crap without him being voiced. They'd have to write the story some other way if they planned to keep him unvoiced. I think for the most part, the ones that are voiced and unvoiced have good planning and the type of writing to support that decision. VNs with perspective shifts like Little Busters and Symphonic Rain that voice the MC only later on during the perspective shift can be kind of awkward for a bit, but they're well executed in those situations, mainly because the voices fit the mood of the story implied when you were playing as the MC unvoiced.

Haru from G-senjou no Maou, some h-scenes in Grisaia no Kaijutsu are pretty well written, and of course, Fate/Stay Night Tohsaka and Shirou: http://0-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/a/image/1337/21/1337214641096.png Nasu's h-scenes are too hilarious and might be at least worth a skim through as a funny boner killer. Writing the beta-est of beta MCs, especially in regards to sexual prowess, makes F/SN all the more enjoyable.
