I did. I thought the lip sync tech was really impressive for its time. Also, robot is the realest human bean.
I love Anagrams!
>>739506415I really like the graphics/art style in this and ZTD (yes). Kinda wish they did more games and stuff like this for visual novels. Like I'd picture this as the design for Kamitachi no Yoru 1 and not that generic anime thing they used.

>>739515326>>739515790i remember jacking off to this and the clover mini game.sad these games never got much good hentai except western slop...same with the hundred line what the actual fuck
I liked the overall structure and how interactive vlr was as a story, the journey was great, but tedious sometimes with characters overexplaining pretty basic stuff and the cutscenes of characters moving between rooms being unskippable. In addition, the ending was a disappointment, since it ended on a cliffhanger and logistics of the two twists Sigma's face and radical-9 making them not realize the gravity, but I care more about the first one are stupid.
So what was the point of Sean and Quark?
>>739506415I beat 999 about a month ago and I took a break before playing VLR. I haven't decided yet whether I should play it on my 3DS, Vita, or Steam Deck.
I've never played a single one of these games, which one should I start with?
>>739513209Agree on 1, surprisingly you get very few opportunities to actually use the curses, though i still enjoyed it a lot.Havent played 2.>>739517267Quark existed to trick the player into thinking Dio was actually a good guy telling the truth when he said Quark was a psycho as a plot twist.
>>739518025>Quark existed to trick the player into thinking Dio was actually a good guyI have to ask, did anyone actually think that? Even in the paths where Dio chooses ally, the characters for some reason hates him.
>>739518004The plot is connected, so start with 999.
>>739518025I just think its weird quark is considered a character when he is absent from the story for like 90% of it. I’m pretty sure you only do a single escape room with him. Sean felt like a plot device detached from the actual overarching story.
>>739518004>>739518276and play it on a NINTENDO DS
>hype up the all ice thing in game 1 and even throughout game 2.>literally nothing happens related to it despite making it sound like a major plot point???
>>739518289It's like 9th man. He will always be considered a big character, appear on all of the game's art both official and fan, and people will have him on their tier list.
>>739518274I honestly did for a few seconds, but since he actually knew Tenmyouji from before the game it seemed like too much of a farfetch.Just a bizarre character all around with how he is MIA 90% of the time as the other anon said. Really just there for what seemed to be a weird attempt at a fake out + be a morality pet for Tenmyouji.
>>739506415Did the writers really forget that "Clover" was a codename and not her real name?
>>739518276>>739518360I'll play that one then, thanks>and play it on a NINTENDO DSI don't have a Nintendo DS
>>739518525Did you forget that Light confirms her real name to be Clover during the first Nonary game?
>>739518568but you do have a phone!https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3282
>>739519106This just tells me that they forgot it's supposed to be a codename within the first game already
>>739519274>[Light] started talking. He was blind. 9years later, we would call him [Snake].Is a quote from the same scene, so no they didn't forget.
>>739518525No, they confirmed in the first game that the retard used her own name as a codename.
Already did like 10 years ago

One thing Ill say about ZTD, at least they toned down the localizing
Virtue's Last Signaling
>>739506415I legitimately do not recall a damn thing about the game's story outside of the fact that it annoyed me that I had to constantly jump from timeline to timeline to solve a bullshit puzzle that I couldn't solve at that time. The old age asspull soured me hard, like come on, the "hints" they give you during the flashback realization aren't even hints either. Not to mention, you're fucking YOKED whenever you check your Fisher Price watch.
>>739518568>I don't have a Nintendo DSyou can get a DS Lite for like 50 bucks and a flashcart for another 10 bucks
>>739518568Welcome to Zero Escape. It's like TWEWY. If you don't have original hardware none of the rereleases are viable.
>were on the moon!after that explosion vision at the very start of the game, did anyone ever think otherwise?
>>739506415Playing it right now. Replayed ZTD when it was relevant a month or so back and decided to do the whole series in reverse order.
>games only you've playedfor your sake keep it that way
>>739522092Only really true for 999. VLR and ZTD are perfectly fine on PC.

You can't convince me this retard never touched his face once trough the whole thing.
>>739524791have you seen his hands?
The biggest disappointment of ZTD was how much of a raging retard they made Sigma. I wasn't expecting him to be some 4D chess master or anything but considering he spent 40 years being a scientist between VLR and ZTD I was hoping he'd act somewhat intelligently or at least have some sort of plan. Instead all he does is scream his head off about how they're all going to die and get mad when no one believes him.
>>739508279I actually used it way back on my first go to note down the passwords and got incredibly annoyed at how they degraded and I had to fix them up constantly Until I learned the reason, then I still got annoyed
>>739524864Not just him. Phi's also exceptionally retarded at times.

>>739513218That's awesome!
>>739525294In Phi's defense, the poison was sent by C team which had Akane on it and Akane is known to be willing to kill anyone if she feels like it's necessary.Still not as bad as the button scene.
which akane would you akane?
>>739520190VLR puzzles sucked ass half the time. Some of them were more tedious than hard, like the one with the dates in the pantry. Once you figure out the gimmick you just repeat it like 6 times, it's horrible
the uchikoshi spice never returned
>>739524791This was such a gigantic asspull. I get they hinted towards it many times throughout the game like Phi asking him what he does and he mentions studying to become a doctor and she replies something along the lines of "Wow it sure is taking you a long time"But as someone who's had short and long hair, there is no way in hell you wouldn't notice your hair being that long

>>739528532
>>739522363I can't believe anyone would play anything "Somnium Files" if they had already played the first game. It was complete garbage
>>739528783It was interesting enough. It's also $3 on sale so it doesn't have to be some mind bending blockbuster or whatever>>739522363The escape room sections were pretty cool, definitely the weakest story out of the trilogy though

>>739531627Shitten Pissen
>>739506415I'm playing this game right now. I'm now forced to go with the Betraying Luna in the 1st AB game route. Put it off as long as I could, without doing what seems like pointless betrayals that'd lead to a Game Over that does nothing for me.
>>739528532no-one has to diehttps://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/615863
>>739533315It's funny that betraying Luna immediately leads to what should be one of your first endings, but most people do the same thing and put it off for so long
>>739511140The downgrade despite going to a better console is still something that makes me think at night. Complete aura loss in terms of atmosphere, all of that because of soulless 3DAce Attorney was similar. GAA is charming but it still feels off compared to the 2d sprites

>>739535251dubtitles come for us all
All three games in this series are hilarious and highly entertaining, but I only recently discovered that there are people who think they are good unironically.
I tried VLR’s dub for the first scene (I think about up until right before we entered the first doors), and when I switched I felt like I was being trolled when I heard some say the dub might be even better than the original voices. Tenmyouji’s English voice was good though.

>>739536056the journey is better than the destination
I love Phi's English voice.
Best Boy™.
>>739536056I do.

>>739538449but I'm straight
>>739538176I love Phi's Japanese voice.

>>739538449I did. Now what?
Why is there no port of the Zero Escape Series for the Nintendo Switch?The games were originally for the DS/3DS.What gives?
>>739538176Yes, she has a thing for voicing white-haired girls.
>>739538176Her English voice was one of the reasons I switched off the dub
>>739538449It looked interesting, and I downloaded a switch emulator only for it back then, but it was boring. I thought it'd be more VN but it was mostly repeating the same gameplay just to grind stats.
how's the PC port? i played it a long time ago on ds and while i still remember the main twists i think i could enjoy a revisit
>>739539168>The games were originally for the DS/3DS.only 999 was. the series was a whore afterwards.
>>739528783The first game was messy, but it had a lot of soul, some solid side routes, and a great buddy cop dynamic between Date and Aiba. The main thing letting it down was that Iris wasn't that compelling a character despite being the heroine of half the routes, and the usual Uchi 11th hour bullshit (although I found the twists less eggregious than some of his other VNs)
>>739539602Gnosia is basically single player Werewolf with an overarching plot that gets revealed as you win games under certain conditions.If you go in expecting another game like 999 or VLR you'd be disappointed. I still like it on its own merits.
>>739528783It was messy clusterfuck but it was enjoyable as hell.I was losing my collective shit at 3 a.m when I had to defeat the mind terrorist with the power of dance.... 3 TIMES.TEACUPS THAT ARE FLYING-
>>739528783nu-huh, AI The Somnium files is Uchikino of the highest order.
>>739538449Tattoos can look good on girls when they cover their whole body like this and are otherwise sexyThanks anon, your game looks interesting and I'll try it out.
It’s weird playing with JP voices and them so obviously not saying what’s written. Like Dio says “Phi, Sigma, iku zo”, but the text is written as “All right lady and gentleman. Shall we?” I get at times punching up might have a reason, but it just really bothers me, even if overall it’s pretty inconsequential.
>>739541213That's me with Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.
Nirvana Initiative had the most overwrought tweest ive ever seen, i can’t see Uchikoshi making a more ridiculous plot than that.
>>739522363When will Uchikoshi make a good game again? It’s been 13 years since VLR
>>739528783The first game tried way too hard to be funny and quirky that it just got annoying.
Play Clover's game
>>739533594holy based
>>739528532YTTD is enjoyable even though it isn't finished. there isn't much surprise left for the final chapter if you read into things enough atfer the 5-6 years since the last chapter. should be good though.
>>739543356well spoil me.
>>739543520The first headmaster is most likely Gin's mom and Meiser is Sara's father. Almost non-zero chance the game is another simulation to follow up the themes of identity set up.
the past couple of days people have been shilling raging loop, is it that good?
>>739506415I'm playing it right now after 999 but it feels so weird.The controls are way worse (why'd they get rid of selecting items outside the menu and using the shoulder buttons to advance and back out of screens?) and the voice acting is jarring since Sigma doesn't have a voice either, the UI and graphics in general feel like they lack a layer of polish compared to 999.The characters also have WAY more pointless non-sequitirs, like these guys feel like they're actually stupid, but maybe it's something I'll get used to.
>>739544539Also I get this is obviously for metatextual reasons in 999's story but I miss the descriptive narration, it gave the game a lot more character.
>>739506415I did. I just need to play the complex one next.
i tried playing 100 line last academy or whatever its called and got bored instantly. tried skipping around a youtube video to find appeal, but it just seems aimless and dumb.
i saw that old man in sunglasses posted on /v/ for years and years not knowing what it was i assume it was deus ex or some shit. but i finally got around to vlr and ztd.seems like many memes were had with that old fuck

>>739545483it's just a bunch of silliness, if you don't like the ridiculousness of danganronpa and Kodaka's writing, it isn't for yougame literally doesn't have an actual canon ending
>>739546101thats the thing, i love danganronpa so im surprised its boring, which i figure is uchikoshis fault since hes a worse writer.but danganronpa would be boring without the killing game. i have no interest in those characters just meandering around doing nothing
>>739546184killing game route is right there bro
>>739546358i heard that mentioned but i just unconsciously assumed it was in name only.also i loathe tactical rpgs so that doesnt help. i just want to see the crazy blue hair girla panties
I’m not convinced VLR’s AB game’s 1st round would pan out like it did IRL, besides the fact Dio is actively screwing others. I feel like picking Betray round 1 would just cause people to kill you, or feel like they have to after learning that 0 points = death.
i just hate the twist that>oh it was a training arc >oh....another training arc AGAIN
I will think back fondly on these threads 200 years from now
>Junpei risks his life to save his high school crush>She ghosts him for decades then, when they're both wrinkled old fucks, calls him to play another deathgame and infects him with the deadliest virus in existencewomen
>>739547985>high school crush
>>739546184>>739546479Uchikoshi literally wrote one route of the game.So the majority of of the shitty writing is kodaka's fault.That said, each branching route was wrote by different writers, so of course it's all over the place.HOWEVER, Kodaka DID write the prologue, and the "true ending route", which is the only good route in the game. Uchikoshi actually lost this time becuase his route was a nothing-burguer, but in general, I think Uchikoshi MOGS Kodaka by a mile. The only thing Kodaka does is write death games and elaborate murders, nothing else.So get your facts checked.
>>739547687
>>739542661post a link and I might.
>>739545819The third "actual game" should be called:AI The Somnium Files: 1nsomnIA Paradis3.It justs feels right.The plot? Insomnia, of course.
the ab game is easily solveable.if you can talk with others, and they can, all you have to do is agree for everyone to ally 3 times and leave. in the game they havr to do the first round before being ablr to know what exactly is going on, but they could still mathematically work it out so everyone gets at least 9, or just keep doing rounds.you only need 1 person per group of 3. the other team autos to ally. so have just 3 people, 1 from each group, go in to vote. make it mutually understood that anyone eho chooses betray or tries anything funny like that will be ganged up on and killed by the other 8. theres literally no reason to play a trust game.IF they couldnt talk with one another in a true prisoners dilemma with that point system, just betray everytime. there is no penslty for doing so and the average is +1.5

>>739548823while posting the prime example of why uchikoshi is a hack
>>739548984>just convince 8 people to go along with your planI know this is a sci-fi game with fantastical elements but this is way too outlandish to be believable, anon
>>739546101Uchikoshi made his the true ending by tying all other endings into it even Kodaka’s 2nd scenario unbeknownst to Kodaka. Kodaka was not aware of the story locks either
>>739548823He wrote Mystery and SF. I think his routes sucked too but to be fair he was seemingly in charge of all the routes besides Kodaka’s 1st and 2nd scenario which unlike everyone else’s routes were written ahead of time such that when it was time to write he just handed them in
>>739550147Follow up on handing it in. There’s routes Kodaka co wrote and the only reason he did is explained here, they wouldn’t make it otherwise. The Cult wrote was solo by him because no one else was available lol. Seems kinda shitty to only intend to do his two routes and everyone else can handle the rest
>>739549143people are more reasonable than you think.especially when the rules allow this setup to easily identify who did the fucking and then all kill that person
>>739550065>When asked “Who is the woman in the white coat?” Uchikoshi made a slightly annoyed face and then stammered “I-I’ll leave that to your imagination.”Classic Uchikoshi. He never changes.Which one is his route? I did like 30 before some other game came out and took my time, but I’d like to come back to it

>>739557097seems the line above is 3 dialogs deep. need to find a nip that craves flavor text.
>>739557097How do you go from>A pipe, huh?>That's a pipe, isn't it?>That's a pipe alright.to>Gimme a "P"!>Gimme a "I"!>Gimme a "P" and an "E"!>What's that spell?! Pipe!>What the hell are we doing...
>>739549004By the way, if anyone can’t get this to work, the only way I found was to download an Eltima flash player (or whatever it’s called), from a shady looking site called soft112
>>739558906the P I P E lines are on the third interactionI'm on the case
>>739506415No need for the gun, I'll do what you ask.
>>739515326clover canonically doesn't wear panties
>>739553714I'm equal parts amazed and confused
>>739553714>if you have a variety of people, copying them is the best way to earn points!Meanwhile, most people would betray every single time. What a stupid proposition.
>>739553714interesting.
I liked the termites speech in VLR.
>>739548823>Uchikoshi literally wrote one route of the game.Uchikoshi's one route is not only the worst in the game (yes, actually) but also infects OTHER routes with all of the retarded shit that has to happen in other timelines for it to work.
>>739548823>Uchikoshi literally wrote one route of the game.Huh?https://automaton-media.com/en/interviews/interview-the-hundred-line-last-defense-academys-devs-needed-players-to-think-they-were-completely-out-of-their-minds-to-compete-in-the-game-market/
>>739562198he set up the outline so the other routes could happen. he drew it all out to show Kodaka how much work it would be and Kodaka was like 'yeah, like that'
>>739562123>he didn't like the bugsNGMI
>>739559209
>>739562645>owo are the video games in here
>>739562645
>>739506415I want young Sigma to fuck me so bad.
>>739564287You can't handle his 18 inches
>>739564352He doesnt look like he has 18 inches.
>>739564287Phi...
>>739564387
>>739564287Luna...
>>739563737It's a bald clown
>>739563737That's clearly a ふにゃりんぱ
>>739564438>not in gamethis is like caring about the shit JK Rowling says on twitter and considering it canonBut besides that, he doesn't need an 18in. He's bulky and handsome already.
>>739564861it's clarification of something that is said in-game
>>739564904I haven't actually played the games. I just looked at the character art one day when I entered a random thread once.>is said in-gameSo it is canon? Shame if true.
>>739522363This wasn't the worst but I have to wonder why it was made.Its like the studio is gearing up to do escape rooms again and this was their practice run
>>739565245It's been many years since I played but I think the conversation went something like thisPhi mentions she's a C cup. Sigma laughs and says if she's a C cup he's X inches, I don't remember how many.I could be misremembering a lot, I don't have the screenshot of the conversation. In short, nothing confirmed.
>>739562123Uchi's routes take me back to what it was like experiencing VLR for the first time. Not the worst thing in the world but If you've played his past works then like always you'll notice he's recycling ideas regularly
>>739564438>If Phi is a C-cup>if>if>if>if>if
>>739565646I haven't played 100 line yet so please don't explain anything, and I'm not surprised if it's the case, but is he really rererereretreading shit he's already written?I enjoyed 999 even with the similarities to Ever17 but I was bored by the time I got to the first somnium files game while he kept doing it.
>>739562123He wrote Mystery as well as I mentioned here >>739550147
>>739514218The game's explanation was that every mirror and body of water were broken, murky or covered, so Sigma never had a chance to look at his face. But that doesn't explain how he hasn't noticed that he has one fucking eye now.
>>739565496It was 12. Got to that scene in my replay yesterday.
>>739565245>sigma, phi, and someone else (luna?) enter a room with a leverPhi: It's got a lever... Try pulling it Sigma.Sigma: Why should I-Phi: It might be dangerous. Maybe it'll trigger an explosion? Or possibly it shocks you when you pull it? Who knows.Sigma: Right. Then I have no choice. ...Did you really think I'd say that, you heartless monster?! There's nothing on either side, is there?Phi: What's that supposed to mean?Sigma: Ah, sorry for the confusion: I was talking about your breasts.Phi: Guh... It's called dressing modestly! I'll have you know I'm a C cup!Sigma: If you're a C cup, I'm packing twelve inches!This scene gets called back to in ZTD. When D team is investigating the bunker and discovers the vent, Sigma suggests Phi goes to check it out. Phi says she wouldn't fit, and her boobs are Ds. Sigma remarks that they grew a whole size since the last time they talked about them, and Phi says she's a growing girl.>>739565716If Phi is a C cup, then Sigma has 12 inches. Phi is not a C cup, therefore Sigma does not have 12 inches. Uchikoshi clarifies how many inches Sigma has. There's nothing contradictory about this.
>>739565837nta I haven’t played ever17 yet but he repeated VLR pretty much in his story locked route which if what I’m hearing is right was already a repeat of ever17? Dude keeps copying his own homework
999 >> ZTD >> VLR
>>739565948The worst offender for me is that he should feel the big bulky shit touching his face even if it’s somehow perfectly replicating his vision. Suppose that could be another thing the gravity reveal is meant to handwave
>>739531627>戸リ以云N>アマア云マis this the font that confuses japs but is readable to gaijin piggu?
>999 threads Guys please stop trying to convince me to play these again
>>739518025The Mermaids Curse is okay. It's a more even experience but it never quite hit the highs of the first game for me.
>>739565496>>739566075>If Phi is a C cup, then Sigma has 12 inches. Phi is not a C cup, therefore Sigma does not have 12 inchesSo this confirms 18 inches is just headcanon since it's not actually not in the game.
>>739566209I think that's actually the least egregious part about it. Your brain will adjust to things being put into your body and treat it as normal after enough time as passed, dental implants eventually heal and feel natural. Sigma's body has had those mechanical implants for years, and as far as how jumping/SHIFT works it's just the consciousness that swaps timelines not the entire brain. If he were to touch them with his hands he would immediately notice something's up but without checking his body would already have adjusted to it well before the game started.
>>739566209yea this is the big issue I take with it. Its an entertaining twist but not nearly air tight enough
door 2
>>739566209It's even simpler than that. Did he not once touch his face throughout the entire game? Hell, did he not rub his eyes within the first minute of waking up?
*copies your coffee*
>>739533594Mogs the abîme games despite being 18x shorter
867
>>739566991his arms are robotic too, so he just programmed them, so that if he touches his face he doesn't feel anything strange
>>739567458that sounds like bullshit but I don't know enough about robotic arms to disprove it
Escape Rooms and Escape Room games are popular now. Do you think Uchikoshi could go back to this concept?
>>739567619if there's one thing he's good at it's going back
>>739567458aieeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>739567619He should. I love Aiba banter but the somniums are too esoteric for those games to reach broader appeal. Everyone knows what escape rooms are and how they work
WHAT IF IT WAS ALIEN HAND SYNDROME
>>739567619No. He's incapable of writing a good story anymore.
>>739567619I think he might, 100 line showed he wanted to do something more
>>739567851He never had to begin with.
>>739567619the newest somnium had iris segments that were actual escape rooms, although pretty simple and not written by uchikoshi
>>739521903Her shit IS Hella Wack, though.
>>739506415>>739528532Play 428 Shibuya Scramble
>>739568445After ZTD.
>>739568445>jap version is region-lockedfucking yellow devils
>>739568445>428 Shibuya Scramble>50 dollars
>>739555824
>>739569323frequently on sale for 5 or 10. definitely not worth 50. doesn't even have voice acting.
>>739566209it has to have been some sort of miscommunication between the writer and the artist, it would make way more sense if the writer was imagining some sort of cyber eyeball that fit in the socket naturally
Hey, is it still worth it to play 999 games despite already knowing every twist?
>>739567072unfortunately for you, the concept of its deliciousness remains in my possession. you have copied nothing of value.
>>739569897>if the writer was imagining some sort of cyber eyeball that fit in the socket naturally
Tenmyouji’s ending was not nearly as heartwarming as the game wanted it to come off as.
>>739569959umm no
>>739566991If he went to scratch his head even a single time in the game, surely he'd notice that he's balding
>>739569959every twist? name 100
>>739569890i'll get it during the summer sale
>>739522363i still haven't got around to AI selenium files 2 yet....but i read 1 around when it came out >x<
>>739541213you don't GET IT, okay? japanese is BORING and DRY, western audiences would literally not play a single japanese game without our excellent word seasoning! (localization for the unenlightened)
>>739520352The art style changed, everyone looked worse.
>>739570441I'd say that overall VLR has a decent translation and the way they localized GOL-M as a british bloke(kansaiben robot) was decent.
>>739535350They wanted to test the waters to see if people still liked escape room games, so they made a short midquel for an ongoing franchise that had most of the same fans as zero escape.
>>739506415I just did the Infirmary and I have to say if the whole game has this level of puzzle quality it might actually be better than 999 even if the dialog is insufferable.
>>739567619All he needs to do is Re-release and port the games he already made, nothing else.Pretty funny how another Japanese guy "predicted the future" and made escape rooms "real" a decade ago.A Virtue Last Reward game in VR could be cool though.
>>739570585Nah, VLR was trannylated.>Phi says something passive>"How useless">"Astute observation".
>>739561001herd mentality wins againzebros, our time is now!
>>739506415no thankshappy memorial day, everyonehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd9EJgSLnjY
>>739568445I did, but I got stuck on the final time lock at 17:00.I would have finished, but the "choice" system is complete bullshit, I followed a fucking guide and I still couldn't unlock it.It's a fucking shame because it was a genuinely good VN.
>>739571317Not every localization attempt is tranny-coded.Take your meds and stop obsessing over troons so much you fucking faggot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC-J8fl0_Ik
What's Uchi's next project?
>>739571643>Not every localization attempt is tranny-coded.Yeah, only 95% of them! He's worrying about nothing. Right, sister?
>>739572321Hopefully he’s not stuck in the hundred mines
>>739571538I forget how exactly bad it is but I recall 428 being very clunky to plya.
>>739572321None.
>>739569897>people call him an old drug addict>they freak out about his robot arms in the routes where his hand gets injured>nobody EVER says anything about his crazy looking eye
>>739522363Stopped after the very first puzzle room, how bad does it get?
the second Alice betray if fucking bullshit retard ass moment
>>739572272For me it's recreation, best room and best track.https://youtu.be/_oRWR603ObI?is=WOeGP2ojpJGWccCmThe image of K ridding Zero is always lingering on my mind.
>>739572868it aight
>>739572653and it's a fucking VN, so go figure.
>>739572696IIRC Dio has one line where he says something like "I feel like I can't trust your eyes"
>>739572447these are Uchikoski games. Do you really think he's against that stuff?
>>739573026no like really clunky. when you replay scenes to change flags you can only skip to specific parts of dialog, not per line, and I don't think there was a fast forward.
>>739571476Oh yeah, I haven't seen you in a while.
>>739555613>>739555729This is cute
>>739573098Its such a shame seeing someone so enamored with woke ideology.
>>739573194Mizuki, what's your opinion on gay people?
>>739573098So... Is he gay or not?
>>739573194>>739573098You just know he's fucked Kodaka
>>739573287Given the status of Mizuki's biological father...
>>739567072What the FUCK was his problem?
>>739528783I can't believe you even tried Somnium Files after reading ZTD. Uchikoshi is a hack.
>>739573098Is Uchi the only example of a Jap creative that panders to the west because no one in Japan gives a fuck about their stuff?
Do not play VLR.
>let's use the same story gimmick as vlr>no we are not going to explain anything>*game ends*Still baffles me months after finishing it.
I just want to lay down and play a new comfy Somnium game bros...
>>739573548https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltayhGHe66EStill the most forced dialogue I have seen in a vn
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_zAU7tZnCcQZTD was so fucking stupid but in a way that just keeps it in my mind.
BLUE!
>>739573687Me too, I played all games. Third game was kinda comfy but way too short.
>>739573687Wish the third one was longer.
>>739568445Is that Nasubi?
>>739573337I don’t think so considering he specifically went out of his way to not do what Kodaka wanted him to do in the game and added a true ending when Kodaka wanted every ending to be able to be a true ending for someone but also drunkenly attacked him one time.
>>739573670even after the second game people were seriously arguing that the VLR twist wasn't what was going on in the series. Even with Tokiko outright talking to (You), the player, about her plans
>>739556392but there's a timeline where they don't take it.
If you give Uchikoshi money you should be shot.
>>739541209 Those are tattoos...
>>739506546>>>/wsg/6157817
MIND HACK
>>739573670The second game has a bigger twist. You dont understand Half of it until the end. But yeah, the first one having Metamorphing Field travel was weird.
>>739568445I did and turns out the fucking real ending was connected to some fucking nasu anime following a mari sue
>>739582693isn't it great
>>739555302>Guy
>>739572696
>>739582809It's hilarious because I knew this anime without fucking knowing it was connected to 428, it fucking spoils you the 428 villain twistAnd canaan is a fucking mary Sue
Clover always smiling due to a bug I personally thought was a feature
>>739582920same except I kept second guessing myself that 428 had Netflix'd Canaan
>>739524985wait whatthe notes degrade?
>>739512191>3d modelsI'm sorry but this one I can't agree with.What I remember playing it at release is how fucking UGLY the models were like holy shit
I'll never forgive uchikoshi for ztd
>>739583082pixels are randomly deleted in a noise pattern every time you jump somewhere on the flowchart because of Sigma forgetting or only having vague hazy memories of shiftsthe memo screen is labelled BRAIN MEMORY
>actually there was always a guy in a wheelchair offscreenis this the most retarded twist of all time?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sACLmz5j3BQ
>>739584000his camera angles are complex
>>739522363Aiba best girl
>>739582809That's surprising.
damn, ztd was like 10 years ago now, huh? time flies..
>>739584000you are always playing as zero in every game
>>739589427next year is Danganronpa V3
>>739589551>alwaysWrong.
Played through these gameas last two weeks.1 > 2 >>> 3Really loved 999. Zero Time Dilemma was so bad that it looped around into hilarity. VLR was good enough, but I can't in good faith reccomend it due the cliffhanger ending leading into ZTD.
>>739569371Holy shit anon delivered
>>739555729PISSPIPIWAIT SHIT
>>739569371localization hater been real quiet since this post dropped
Any hundred line interested I’ve got the most behind the scenes knowledge. Here’s Kodaka saying he always thought multiple routes led to a weaker story and decided what if all the routes were the best routes and asked Uchi to do it for him. For some reason that really rubs me the wrong way
>>739561052Game theorists never account for the indomitable human spirit/Me cheating/Me screaming "RAPE! RAPE! THIS GUY IS RAPING PEOPLE!" to intimidate the other guy.Also it is morally correct to instantly kill anyone who proposes a theoretical conundrum in which someone else might be hurt: thus preventing them proposing this to other people who then might make a 3-game series where tons of people die just because of it.
>>739583493huhneatnever knew about that
>>739590636it seems like he changed his mind in that very excerpt you posted
>>739590717You're brown.
>>739590621there's no "gimme a!" slop
>>739590237Anonymous always delivers.
>>739591006Not exactly, he just left it up to other guy to make every route the best route which kinda ticks me off as seen here >>739550147
is it possible to measure Carlos's IQ or is it simply too high?
>>739593493His IQ is behind 7 proxies.
>>739593493>iq with regards to the supernatural power he just learned about300+>iq when talking about anything else50
>>739592623kek
2028
>>739582884i chuckled
>>739548984>>739549143That's literally what happens at the end of the game. The entire game is just the group learning to trust each other enough to go along with the obvious solution.
>>739589427
>>739513209>fucked up by having adult writing an a non retarded characteruh, no, this is the highlight of the game. Theyre not fucking incompetent adults, act rationally and reasonably.im so glad we got one of these mystery games for actual adults, shame you melon brains keep trying to undo that though
>>739540772The other anon is right, having played tons of werewolf type games it's not all that good. It gets repetitive really quickly and will just boil down to grinding stats and fishing for event procs. It's a decent idea but its execution is really lacking. Which is shame, because it has some really nice scenes and overarching story.
