Yeah it comes across more creepy and disturbing than scary which I'm fine with.
No, man. It's because that's where the bowstring is supposed to go, because you're supposed to sight down the arrow as much as possible. Here are three pictures of proper form that one simple search on the subject showed. Notice how the boob protector is being compressed:
Even the creepiness and disturbing parts went away, that was the best selling point for me tbh.
I feel like it's not even that creepy or disturbing anymore. But I feel like it's more of a problem with the length of the game than the game trying too hard. The game played its hand too early, so now most happy events come across as boring and tryhard rather than interesting. Familiarity breeds contempt after all.
For me it switched at the remake. Before, the horror elements were mysterious, atmospheric, and plot focused, with a little bit of gross imagery and body horror thrown in to spice things up. The perfect dish! The happy scenes were also separated from the normal environment, but occurring over top of it in a way that felt like there was a second dimension to the real world that was happening, and there was a balance of power that prevented any of the deities from directly reaching over to the other side in order to maintain a degree of verisimilitude for the "subjects" in the real world. It was great!
That's a really good assessment of where I am at with the game too.
Dude took an extended holiday due to getting married + honeymoon. It'll be back mid-march.
I could see it being a bit low based on the last picture, the arrow should be cheek level, which is true in all archery styles more or less, at least that was the way I was taught. Also, that arrow is going to arc pretty drastically compared to the third picture, just look at the angle Uta is holding it at relative to the ground you can see behind her. The last time I shot an arrow from an angle like that, I sent my assistant (for collecting arrows because disability) to the far end of the range, luckily there was a berm to prevent the things from traveling out of the range.No, man.

Contrast that again with this. It's awful, which would be fine if she was still learning, if it weren't for the caption

That's the kind of horror Denpa is. While more well known forms rely on jumpscares or creep factor, that's not how Denpa usually does it.
Separation from the normal environment, or at least what we came to think as normal, was always just a temporary thing. This is how Denpa uses that kind of element, it gradually blends until the normal IS the Denpa. Look at DDLC, a known Denpa game, as the game progressed, the world began to change more and more, characters started acting different, and it all blended until there was little to nothing of the 'normal' world left, such as in the case of the famous classroom scene with just Monika.
I don't think it really counts as horror if all it does is cheap jumpscares and all the creep / scare factor went poof.
Then go do that. Seriously, why spend time bitching about a game you clearly don't like and isn't for you.
Ah, that's where you're wrong bud'.
Same here; much of the remake content to me really seems to be catering solely to the old audience, to fill in what dev considered to be holes in his storytelling. I doubt any new player would have the same shock when they stumble upon their first happy scene because they've played the BREED YOUR NIECE game and known something is really up.
See I feel the exact opposite. The remake seemed to cater to the worst sycophants of his die hards in discord and mainly towards new players. As old players are the ones that tend not to like it as much. It really felt like lowering the quality to match ch 2 and 3s energy to me so new players wouldn't notice how much better/disturbing the start was.
Yeah if he tries to go through the front door that scene is going to be even more incredibly fucked than it already will be... i'm looking forward to the content if only out of morbid curiosity but i know for a fact i won't be getting a boner from it, that's for sure.
