I'm more interested in the next game in the series right now as this shit had to end on such a big fucking cliffhanger.

Good luck

Do I need to have played 999 beforehand?

Weebshit never fails to amuse me.

>>162808637
No.

I didn't buy it cause
999 WAS BORING AS SHIT GOD FUCKING DAM.

Yeah you should.

My excuse is that I played it. Now stop making daily threads about this.

>>162808637
Yeah, because VLR spoils several of 999's plot twists.

Why bother, it has stupider twists than MGS and less gameplay. Also everyone has the same face. I really only hate it because people like it though, also I'm a cyborg ghost

File: 1353116729488.jpg-(159 KB, 478x600, 1352676413252.jpg)

It wasn't engaging as 999 and the plot was much more out there, but I enjoyed it.
What the fuck was up with the secret ending though? Was that shit implying the players consciousness entered Kyle's body?

This game is consistently front page on neogaf, so clearly people are playing it. I bought it for vita, and sold the watch, making a net profit. However I would have glady not made any money at all and just played the game, it was excellent, because it put me in a good mood I nailed my interview and in a few short years I will be a millionaire, all thanks to this game.

>>162813560
That certainly is one possibility. A similar thing happened in Ever17.

I bought it just the other day.

>>162813772
Right, with Blick Winkel?
Anyways, if that is true, then the reason Sigma and Phi failed to stop Radical-6 from escaping is simply because we haven't played Zero Escape 3 yet.

I don't have a 3DS or a vita

HOW THE HELL DO I SOLVE THE Q ROOM

THIS IS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF BULLSHIT, EVER

>>162813730

I own a vita but everyone owns the 3ds version...

>>162814089
Vita version is superior. I hate my 3DS version.

>>162814084
What part did you have problems with?
The minesweeper? The fucking dice?

>>162814089
There are some annoying puzzles where they were clearly designed for you to be able to see your notes on the other screen. I have horrible short term memory so I had to rely on walkthroughs at times. Other than that I would play it on Vita.

>>162814084
Which part, the walls or a later puzzle?

>>162814196
Dice. Minesweeping is annoying as hell as well, but I managed to get quite a few of the furniture pieces out.

>>162814401
I laughed when I first saw that.

It has the same replayabillity a book has; you play/read it and then you play/read it again several years after.

The thing is, not everyone likes to re-read stuff or have enough time to read something they already read.

Not in Europe yet

>>162814673
How is it selling exactly?

Here's something I wonder if people ever made any correlations too.

999, loved by a big section of /v/ and threads would turn near general status with blackbars everywhere

VLR
Barely any threads, barely any discussion

Now think about this
999 was easily piratable while VLR not so much

3DS or Vita? I'm asking because 999 was on DS and the dual-screen made the game even better.

The backstory is the first game

I played the demo and it seemed awful. Don't think it's the kind of game I'd like at all.

I hope that Zero Escape 3 will have a different playable character, but still have Sigma and Phi as part of the main cast

>>162814902
DING DING DING

Nintendo dug their own grave with this shit.

>piracy bad
>banish all piracy
>suddenly lose publicity because most people pirate it and then if they like it, will buy it like most did with 999

Don't own a 3DS or Vita.

I'll definitely pick it up when I eventually buy one. I loved 999. There just aren't enough games on either system that I'm motivated to play at this stage. This might change come 2013.

>>162815009
I'm guessing that's what will happen.
And then the story tries its best to hide the fact that said main character is responsible for the release of Radical-6

>>162814147
>>162814217
>>162814635
Oh sweet

how much is it?
Is the voice ok? replayable?

>Demo only available on Vita

I'm gonna get the game anyways but what the fuck Akyss? The original was for nintendo why not support the guys who fucking set you up

>>162815321
Try to reach a wider audience?
That being said, I don't think the developers anticipated the Vitanic sinking so fast. I wouldn't be surprised if ZE3 was 3DS exclusive.

>>162814913
I say 3DS, but look out for the one bug before the pressure room. look it up before starting.

>>162815526
Will it... spoil much?

>>162814913
Vita, superior graphics and sound. it's easier to take notes on the 3DS, but the Vita allows for screenshots.

I was wondering what happens when they prevent the release of Radical 6 in ZE3. Who ends up where? Specifically, will Dr. K end up back in the future, and young Sigma reclaims his original body? Or will it be some alternate young Sigma, who never experienced VLR? And what will happen to Phi?

So many questions.

How much of 999 do you need to know to play? It's been so long that I forgot a lot of stuff. Santa was zero right?

>>162815567
Just avoid saving in Escape rooms and you'll be fine. You might get the occasional freeze, but you won't have your save corrupted.

>>162815646
Well, he was half of Zero
And if you know the True Ending you're fine.

>>162808402
this

>>162814902
But also keep in mind that Amazon, Gamestop, and other retailers sold out of 999 very quickly, even after it got more than one reprint. Even though it was inevitably pirated, it still sold well enough to sell out many times over.

>>162815782
Something about a desert and cars and egyptian lady?

Fuck, maybe I should just wiki it.

>>162815646
As long as you've played 999 already, it should be fine. VLR will explain the necessary bits in case you have forgotten them.

But it is fun discovering the references to 999 before they are explicitly revealed.

>>162815980
wouldn't be a bad idea.

>>162815009
Don't forget about Kyle

>>162815638
Who the fuck is Phi anyways?
>"BUY THE SEQUEL TO FIND OUT!"-Chunsoft.

>>162808417

That image is incorrect in one regard.

Because K is Akane in the canon ending and Kyle is frozen in the pod under the grave

>>162816059
We better get Phi in a bikini.

>>162816059
i'm willing to bet that Phi is the one Sigma got his arms and eye cut the fuck off to save, and she volunteered to be frozen by Akane to repay him, or something

Fuck. I've had the first one sitting around in my desk yet unplayed for a while. Fuck.

>>162816143
Heh, someone said that the last time too.
It isn't 100% right or 100% wrong

2animu4me

>>162816059
Maybe she was part of the Nevada test crew. I do vaguely remember hearing a woman's voice during that one recording, but I can't be sure if that was Phi's voice.

>>162816303
So which K is >>162808901 pic?

Should I get this for the 3DS or Vita? Oh, and I still haven't beaten 999.

>>162816251

That's heavily hinted to be Luna, which is DOUBLE reinforced by the fact that the woman recorded from the Mars Mission disaster has the same VA as Luna. Sigma likely attempted to save her, but the Luna there fucked EVERYTHING up due to sabotage from free the soul and ruined the lives of everyone on Earth. Sigma later recreates this Luna as a surrogate robomom for Kyle.

>>162816446
I'm quite sure it's Kyle.

>>162816143
It's fucking Schrödinger's cat!

Ugh, I'm just having horrible flash backs to Umineko all of a sudden.

BLACK BAR GENERAL TIME

>>162816446

That pairing of bracelets does not occur in the canon timeline, and thus it is actually Kyle inside.

>>162815526

FUCKING THIS
ARGH
LOST 8 HOURS DUE TO PEC ROOM CRASH/SAVE CORRUPTION
HOLY FUCK
Eighteen hours later, I finally 100% the game. Definitely worth it.

>>162808901
That fucking scene had me in stitches.

>>162816163
This reminds me that Sigma is a creepy old man to speaks in cat puns. It really adds a new element to the dialogue.

>>162816691

I... I can't watch this.

>>162816549
Now just imagine this scene from everyone else's perspective. Sigma thinks he's flirting, but it's so awkward otherwise. Actually, it's awkward regardless of the situation. But still.

>That feel when June is so cute and nice.
>That feel when she's a manipulative bitch and never loved Junpei

>>162816708
I was genuinely surprised how much the game refers to Sigma as old man, because both Dio and Phi call him this multiple times

I don't know how I never noticed it the first time

>>162816784
That's why you gotta play ZE3 and undo everything. If you prevent the release of Radical-6, then she'll have no reason to work with Dr. K and spend 45 years trying to undo the past. Which means more time for Junpei to work his magic on her.

This was a fun time sink of a game. Going through the dialogue a second time answered a lot of questions I had that just went right over my head, such as Phi calling me grandpa in the elevator at the beginning. Clever!

>>162816452
Vita has a bit better graphics and no save bug. But I prefer the 3DS for the second screen and stylus.

>>162816784
Akane reveals in VLR that she would've liked nothing more than to settle down with Junpei, but she knew that her duty was to save mankind and shit so she couldn't. It's actually quite sad.

of course, she says this in a prerecorded message and Junpei isn't there when you hear it

>>162816759
After I learned about Sigma being really old, it made lines like that so fucking creepy.

>>162817036
Seem her attide, it sounds more like cop out. She didn't care.

>>162816993
>mfw Tenmy saw that recording of Zero in his ending.
>mfw he didn't trust Sigma because he knew he was technically Zero

>excuse
I just don't care.

>>162816964

To Akane, she's already experienced years and years of planning and 'failed' timelines. Every path experienced, she feels her death happen again, because unlike Phi and Sigma and Kyle who SWAP consciousness with their future or past selves, Akane merely observes from a past point. This also means that she essentially controls destiny, because she can invert any disaster upon herself merely by instituting an AB/Nonary game loop of some sort. Akane's essentially spent years and years and years for REVENGE. She wants to fuck up Free The Soul for burning her eight year old self to death and ruining her life. She's a psycho vindictive bitch no matter the tone she takes.

>>162817397

>>162808417
>tfw someone saves the picture you made.

Is this worth getting if I haven't played the previous game for the DS?

>>162817679
You HAVE to play 999 to fully enjoy VLR.

>>162817679
Buy both faggot.

>>162817679
It's a great game on its own, but it become even more so if you play the first one. Just download a DS emulator and play 999. It's only 10 hours long

>>162817679
VLR's story is self contained.
But you will not understand a LOT of things if you don't play 999.

>>162817789
999 is more than 10 hours long, I'd say around 30.

>>162817740
That is why I haven't picked it up yet.

I've heard wonderful things, but I barely have time to play games as it is, let alone play a visual novel so I can get to the newer game. Don't you have to play though the first game a few times in order to get the real end, or something?

>>162817543

Maybe, but that's sort of her everything. She's explicitly stated to be cold and calculating and not really give a shit anymore. In 999 it's already been confirmed her entire personality was a front, likely referring to how Junpei wanted to see her in order to best disguise her innocence. Hell, the word the creator used to describe her was 'cruel'.

>>162817886
You have to get every ending to get true, and there's 5 or 6 endings not counting true. I don't remember exactly.

>>162817126
The entire game, I felt I was playing as this alpha chunk of man-meat, as opposed to the thin-build bitches that similar games have you play as. At least we got a deviation from that ;_;

>>162817886
Yeah but once you already unlocked an ending you can just skip the text. The only thing that sucks is that you have solve the puzzles again. VRL solved those problems.

>>162818008
No you don't.
You only need to get the Safe ending before you get the True Ending.

>>162818049

>>162818076
No you have to get every ending, even if you didn't you still should get every ending.

>>162818076
But you won't get all the background information unless you get all the endings

>>162818008
Is it the kind of bullshit where half the game will be the exact same every single run, and only the last two hours is different?

Or is it way more open, where shit can take a totally different direction within the first few hours, like how SMT:DS was?

I might head to Gamestop tomorrow and pick up both the titles, as long as it's something I can play in extremely short sessions, like, 15 minutes at a time during my breaks at work.

>>162816459
About the VA thing, is it in both languages?

>>162818168
I always wondered why Sigma's arms always looked a lot thinner in cutscenes where you can see them. Look at the ones where he's restraining Dio or Alice, they're much thinner than his artwork

I've only seen 2 copies of this game so far in stores (3DS, didn't check for Vita version), one of which I purchased. The other copy was bought up rather quickly and it still hasn't been restocked in either store...

>>162818237
yup

>>162818193
Yeah, a lot stuff will change. You will also get different puzzles.

>>162818237
the Vita has both languages, I'm not sure about the 3DS. I would think so.

>>162817267
>yfw you remember that Tenmy thinks Zero is the one who killed Akane in most of the routes
I dont blame him for what he did.

>>162818193
Not the first half, but you do have to go through the same scenes quite a bit. VLR fixed that issue. You're going to want to marathon parts. You can't cut it during the true ending for example. First half you can just play 15 minutes at a time for sure.
>>162818237
You can choose Japanese or English voice acting.
>>162818328
They explain it.

>>162818170
You don't NEED every ending to get the True ending. It is heavily recommended, however.

>>162818178
The only other route that gives you the full story is the Sub ending. Everything else is explained in the True and Safe endings.

>>162818390
Obtuse enough where it's near impossible to get the "true" ending without a guide? Or will you figure out the correct decisions to make through various playthroughs, but each playthrough is worthwhile on it's own?

I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but that's because I buy games all the time and never complete them, and I don't want to do that again if I'm getting two games.

Also is the plot good, or just good for an animu styled game?

>>162818424
No I know that, I meant does the woman have the same VA as Luna in both languages?

File: 1353119715839.png-(32 KB, 492x578, ffffff.png)

>buying a visual novel
>buying a single player game
>buying a ds game

I only buy multiplayer games.

>>162818614
I used a guide, but the game gives you hints. You should be able to figure it out.

The story is fantastic, easily the best story on the DS.

>>162818614

In 999, looking a flowchart is recommended. Some of the paths are awkward and the necessary steps to get something particular can often end up convoluted.

Also, in 999 you have to repeat puzzles, which sucks.

In VLR, they fix this by MAKING EVERY SINGLE FUCKING PUZZLE ROOM DIFFERENT which is also fucking awesome sweet badass A+ - and through logic and coming to the right points in the various flow paths, you can deduce when you can open several 'locks'(where the story is halted due to lacking information necessary from another point on the flow chart). VLR is super excellent.

I actually have both games, but never played either. I plan on doing so soon enough. What am I in for?

>>162818614
If I remember correctly is mostly just choosing different pats. The story is awesome.

>>162818614
Unlike 999, all of the major endings are named after the paticular character it's focused upon. If you're familiar with VNs at all, you'll know that to get a specific character's route, you have to make choices to get you closer to certain characters.

So getting good endings and by extension the true ending is easier to do.

>>162808445
if you teach who to pirate i will gave u gamestop gift ward

>>162818649

Yes, because the scenario writer was basically pulled in during translation. He also liked the whole "Virtue's Last Reward" name so much it's now the name of one of the songs.

Oh, huh. I really like that. Might pick this up tomorrow, 999, that is.

Waiting for that sexy animal crossing 3DS. (this wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't for the region lock. I would have totally ordered one from japan if it could also play NTSC-US games)

>>162819525
The flowchart is only in VLR. You don't get that luxury in 999.

But for the love of god don't let the lack of a flowchart stop you from playing 999. Its worth while, and then you'll be able to enjoy the improvements much more after the very minor suffering.

>>162819402
Virtues Last Reward is the name of the main theme, which has a piano version for any character ending that isn't Phi's, and the Orchestrated version for Phi's ending.
If ZE3 follows the trend of remixing Morphogenic Sorrow for its main theme, wonder how its gonna sound

I hated how they had the amazing remix cut to something else.
I loved how it just sounded like a bigger budget version of the song, until it cuts to the opening theme.

Then I tried the demo.

At least something good is coming out soon; All-Star Battle fucking Royale.

You always prevent her from snapping though, and you can't really kill a robot with a muscle relaxant

Oh god her ending in VLR was totally unexpected.

All those dead bodies ;_;

>Very emotional piano version of Morphogenic Sorrow plays during the credits, which is then ruined by the main theme cutting in
>When it actually plays during Luna and True ending it's just the original version from 999
ya blew it Chunsoft

I just remembered something about K's ending. Why was Dio's bracelet broken? Did Dio smash it, while he was suffocating and presumably thrashing around? Or was it K, and if so, why?

Does anyone prefer the tone of 999 more than VLR? Things just felt much more bleak and violent in 999.

Biggest flipout?

>Sigma's a geriatric
>Ten is Junpei
>Luna is a golem
>Dio is from FTS
>There's abso-fucking-lutely nothing special about Alice FUCK THIS WAS THE WORST THING FOR ME

>>162820402
That's my biggest complaint with the music. Why make that beautiful piece and then never use it? It is miles better than the original Morphogenic Sorrow

>>162820324
She didn't know that, and thought she actually killed her. Plus there were at least two routes where you don't calm down Clover, because Luna's body is found next Alice's.

>>162820498

Alice was also the biggest letdown for me. I chose her path first, and nothing fucking happens. Of course it's also the way towards the true end, so I had to go and do everything else before continuing.

>>162820483
If you miss that, you must be excited for ZE3 since the traps in the Test Site must be able to at least take out two arms and an eye

>>162820714
I think ZE3's going to be very, very different in tone, because it's going to be the first ZE in which Zero is actively trying to kill everyone, instead of honing some weird supernatural skill to save everybody

>>162820848
...Will ZE3 even have a Zero and a Nonary Game?

Loved the fuck out of 999, but I don't have any money right now for VLR because the place I'm gonna work at opens next year.

>>162820985
I was wondering that myself. How are they going to justify splitting up everyone into groups and all of that crap?

>>162820416
Dio smashing it while thrashing is the most logical conclusion, but you could theorize that with the old lady dead, K probably felt he didn't have much to live for anymore. Maybe he blamed Sigma as well for doing it, deciding to kill them all.

>>162820416

I guess it was Dio himself? Luna couldn't have smashed the bracelet since she was designed not to harm humans.

>>162821083
it's probably going to be some sort of team of conveniently 9 people who are trying to break in and stop Radical 6 from being spread, and they have to get past all the traps in the facility

>Look up fanart for 999
>80% Clover
Welp.

Did anyone else enjoy the Q Room as much as I did? I'm always a sucker for areas that call back earlier parts of the game.

Too bad it was slightly ruined by the inclusion of a dart puzzle. Fuck, that's the only one I had to look at a guide to figure out.

>>162821505

My fucking 3ds crashed like, twice on the dice puzzle in that room.
Seriously. The dice puzzles in the game lag like crazy.
Other than than, it was a wonderful room.

>>162821505
>ZE3 will have remixes of the last two games remixed puzzles
>the final puzzle will be another round of Extreme Sudoku

>>162821505
The Dart Puzzle in both the Rec Room and Q Room was easy shit. Can you even math?
That Dice puzzle was stupid filler bullshit though.

>>162821505

It's really, REALLY REALLY FUCKING EASY If you just write down the values of each ring and know the color progression, which is SUPER obvious. Then you literally just take the highest numbers from the middle ring one at a time where necessary and subtract them from your desired point total, which makes finding out the remaining two places easy as shit.

>Junpei going all "Oh now someone's just being a jackass" killed my sides

Gosh I know Tenmyouji can still get his happy ending. Maybe not in the VLR timeline, but hopefully if Sigma and Phi can convince the bikers to go right this time he can meet Akane in that timeline. I hope ;_;

I still haven't seen all of the bad endings yet. At least, those that require you to betray someone else. I feel terrible betraying most of them. The bad endings where you have to ally did catch me by surprise.

>>162821994
it's pretty obvious that at this point, Junpei would be much happier with Quark than with Akane

>>162821994
"The Akane I knew isn't here... she isn't anywhere."
The writer is making it very goddamn clear that they will NEVER get a happy ending.

Thank god the game never forces you to kill someone when you choose Betray... I don't think my heart could take it.

>>162822321
she scared the fucking piss out of me, I was actually beginning to think Luna was some psychotic robot killer, especially with the look she had. of course, i felt extremely bad about it later and that's why her ending just hit me in the fucking face

Eat every second of that bad end.

I didn't, at least not the first time. Feels good. I only picked betray to see what would happen.

>The most logical choice EVERY TIME in the prisoner's dilemma is to choose Betray

Just more proof that Luna is more than just a robot, and is the best VLR waifu

>>162822692

The thing is, I didn't betray her, she just scared the living shit out of me. Certainly made me paranoid, especially since the way she acts when she's performing an order makes her flat robot - i.e. Sigma's end when she suddenly stares you down and goes nigh-monotone. That bad end right there remains a ? until I feel like a bad enough dude to see all the bad path ends.

>>162822735
>my time here is ogre

>>162823194
Fuck the laws of robotics

The game brings up the idea of quantum mechanics, and how one person's decisions can radically affect other events, even if that person was not directly involved with said event.

So far, Akane has been able to justify all of the Nonary games so far, because she will try to change the past and prevent the release of Radical 6. The first two needed to happen to ensure she survives and she helps with the third game in order to send Dr. K back in time. With me so far?

But what if her survival when she was a child is the original impetus to the release of Radical 6? Through quantum mechanics, her survival influenced Free the Soul, somehow, to kill off human civilization. It's Schrödinger's cat, I ain't got to explain shit.

Of course, it's all pretty moot, because you could say any other random, insignificant action lead to these series of events. But it would be interesting if Akane went through all of this trouble to save humanity, and she indirectly started this mess in the first place.

>>162823452
what if ZE3 had you go back into the past and stop Akane from surviving the Nonary Game

don't ask me how either

>>162823594
The only way that could happen is if Sigma knew someone in that game and told them with the morphogenic field to prevent her from surviving.

>>162823776
inb4 Ace was the good guy all along

>>162823594
Fuck yeah, that bitch needs to die. Junpy had a hard life because of her. ;_;

>>162823452
What's the deal with the Free the Soul robes she wears at the end?

File: 1353122690951.jpg-(31 KB, 504x500, 1288452466652.jpg)

>>162823194
Thing is, to get to that point you have to pick Luna + Ally every time. Suddenly freaking out at the last moment just because some skeevy shit is going down just proves how little you actually trusted Luna in the end.
>>162823072
Stay mad.

>>162823452

Free The Soul was an existence dating back to Lord Gordain's time, and Brother himself was described as 'that old fart' by Dio when he was attempting to refute his position as Left to avoid being revealed. Ergo, it's more likely that Radical-6 was going to happen anyways, and Akane's survival is more the catalyst of Free The Soul eventually being taken down as her immense power over the Morphogenetic Fields allow her to essentially control any point in time that directly correlates to her - but she cannot affect Radical-6 being released, because she cannot be a part of the Mars Mission - because Junpei is there and she probably would've died on site or might not have been able to be a part of it, hence the reason she needs Phi, Sigma and Kyle, who are all timejumpers.

>>162823901

I'm you, so I get to choose how you felt for these reasons because I said so. I freaked because I'm a goddamn pussy, I picked Ally because I WENT BACK THROUGH MY MEMORIES OF ALL THE STUFF SHE DID THROUGHOUT THE GAME. Besides, to distrust is to desire to know more - you don't get to know people by just believing everything at face value unless everyone always tells the truth forever, you get to know them by QUESTIONING who they are. So you're wrong, yah.

You would think in the year or so after 999 Seven would've told everyone else his name.

>>162824307
Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify betraying the one person on the entire moon who trusted you with her heart and s- wait.

>>162818168
Mai husbando.

>>162824309
Don't Clover and Alice still refer to Seven as Seven, even though it's been 2 years since they've been working together?

>>162807652 (OP)
Stop making these threads

File: 1353123128405.jpg-(Spoiler Image, 145 KB, 960x544)

>>162824471
Yes.

>>162824471
What if his real name IS Seven?

>>162824471
"Clover" is a code name too, isn't it?

That bothered me a bit in this one. Everyone (Other than Clover) using their actual names from the beginning shows they trusted each other/Zero a hell of a lot more than the 999 cast.

>>162807652 (OP)
No 3DS or Vita. If it was for PSP or DS I'd pick one up, but unfortunately I'm not going to spend $300~ on one game...

I did buy 999 though.

>>162824861
I thought her actual name was Clover.

>>162824973
It is.

>>162824861
Clover's her actual name, though. The creator says that Seven isn't his actual name, though.

Let's post more things that are hilariously out of touch after you've seen the true ending.

>>162825296
oh, the irony

>>162824973
>>162825029
>>162825031
Well that's pretty fuckin' dumb of her, then, to use her real name while everyone else is making codenames (And for a good reason)

>>162824861
Clover is her actual name, hilariously enough

>>162825296

Silly Sigma, don't you mean two old men?

>>162825296
Oh god there are so many problems there I don't know where to begin.

>>162824861
They didn't need to hide their identities from each other in VLR. Well, except for Dio, K and Tenmyouji, but the latter could have explained his name away as a coincidence, in case that Alice and Clover knew his full name is Junpei Tenmyouji, if that really was his actual last name.

>>162825615
Clover and Alice don't know Tenmyouji is Junpei until he explicitly says it

>>162825296
>>162825468
Sigma and Tenmyouji's relationship gets a lot more hilarious when you think about it.
Two old men acting more tough and younger than they are.

Which is probably one of the reason why she was targeted by Ace. She was too dumb to hide her identity.
