I've heard that 999 is best played on the DS. Does the platform matter for the other two games, and if so, which version is best?
Also, is AI Somnium files worth getting? The art direction looks like shit but I'll give it a chance if the story/puzzles are good.
I don't think it does. I played VLR on 3DS and ZTD on pc, I think you'll get the best on pc.
>>729274198Platform doesn't really matter for VLR and ZTD, though VLR has a bug on 3DS that can corrupt your save data if save during certain escape rooms.
>>729274325>AI>Goodnot only does it have tranny shit but the ending is a musical dance piece
>>729274325I personally think there is way too much japanese humor in these games and a lot of puzzles boil down to "guess the option that the devs didn't turn into a joke." Quite a few people seem to like it though.Watch a bit of it on Youtube would be my advice.
>>729274371>>729274569>>729274637>>729275068thank you sirs. for now I'll just get the zero escape games so I can switch to my steam deck after I'm done with 999. I just did the 999 tutorial and it seems like a cool game so far, except that I can't skip through text boxes that I've already read. please tell me that's only during the tutorial.
>>729274198VLR is better on the 3DS thanks to story reasons but it's not as heavy as 999 literally requiring the DS. Unfortunately the 3ds version is known for having save deleting bugs if you save during certain puzzle rooms. But I personally never encountered any such bug despite saving aggressively in the rooms where it was supposed to happen lol. Played 999 and VLR in 2015
>>729275767You'll be able to fast forward once you get an ending, but you have to start from scratch and clear puzzles you've already beat before when trying to catch up for new endings, it's what discouraged me from 100%ing it
>>729275942>VLR is better on the 3DS thanks to story reasonscan you elaborate? I don't mind spoilers
>>729274198>I've heard that 999 is best played on the DS.You've heard correctly.>Does the platform matter for the other two gamesNo, not at all.>>729274325>is AI Somnium files worth getting?In my opinion, not at all.Somnium is like the Xenoblade 2 of Uchikoshi games.
Clover sexoooo
>>729277398psycho whore
>>729274198Is 999 one of those Vns where you're supposed to get all the endings?
>>729276398it appears not. if it's in reference to the quirky ending then who gives a fuck. VLR is fine as a single screen experience.
>>729278039if you want to know what's going on, yeah
>>729275767https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3282/
>>729275767That's the drawback of the DS version, it's way slower and extremely repetitive.
>>729276398The notes you can take during the game will get less visible as you switch timelinesAlso, bit of a stretch, but the bottom screen could be seen as the MC's other eye so to speak
>>729278582Unironically 999 is best played on a phone or otherwise a device with a lot of touchscreen real estate and an emulator like Drastic, melonDS or retroarch so you can make good use of the speedup function when restarting from the beginning
>>729278616>The notes you can take during the game will get less visible as you switch timelinesI doubt this is a 3DS exclusive since the Vita version also had the memo.
>>729278713One of those new dual screen android emulators would be ideal I think, the DS form factor but with emulator convenience.
>>729278482you're a lifesaver anon>>729278713>>729278784maybe it's just me, but playing DS games on a capacitive touch screen feels weird and clumsy.
>>729278919It's not just you. I have both a N3DS and drastic on my phone and it depends on the game, but I generally prefer playing stuff on real hardware with a real touchscreen instead of the phone. But for slow paced titles like Ace Attorney or 999, there are literally no downsides to playing them on a phone or otherwise portable emulation machine since the gameplay is slow. For games like Rhythm Heaven, EBA or Trauma Center it can get complicated but not impossible
>>729279062are you sure it's the touchscreen tech?
>>729279137the aspect ratio is weird sure but it gives me a lot of real estate to work with for this game specifically. for ace attorney I keep it vertical and normal
>>729274325I buyered boughten all of these and I still haven't gotten around to playing them. I should but every time I feel like starting up an adventure game I always pick something else. Need to cut it out because this shit always looks like it should float my boat
June is pretty cute when she's flirting with Junpei. >>729279627do it. I'm enjoying 999 so far, despite being a little heavy on exposition dumps.
>>729278039Yes. For story reasons, the 999 series requires you to get all endings to get the full experience. The first game specifically just abruptly stops a couple routes if you didnt do a specific ending beforehand.
>>729274198999 is best played on the DS/3DS, if not, settle for the emulator. Under no circumstances do you play the Steam version of 999. Uchikoshi would not have had that breakout success he had had it not been for what he pulled off in the original version.
>>729280639the last 5 minutes really do make up for the entire slog to reach that point. however, if you settle for emulation you can settle for the Nonary Games version.
>>729281046>if you settle for emulation you can settle for the Nonary Games versionAbsolutely not.
>>729281232Sovl... Just to avoid Nonary Games' character interjections and flowchart.
>>729281394To avoid the changes to presentation and the retarded final "puzzle".
was it really necessary for this big titty bimbo to spend a dozen text boxes explaining latin prefixes
>>729281756The TWEWY issue. There is no way to actually play the game according to people who played the game.
>>729281807greatest game of all time
>>729274325If you're gonna play all the games then only play AI after the ZE games and whatever other uchikoshi games you wanted to play
>>729281846not if the localization got the same scrutiny NEO did
>>729274325Wait for Your Turn to Die to get finished.
