literally just started playing it user, what am i in for?

shiftposting

turn back

Okay but why? Ive heard lots of people shit on it but so far it seems okay for weebtrash.

I dont mind spoilers if that helps?

one of the most disappointing games you'll ever play. it's so bad people turned to ironically shitposting to cope with how bad it is

Like most long running Japanese visual novels, the publisher just wanted to cash in on the popularity of 999. So they rushed a game that's not even remotely of the same quality, then used a bunch of retcons to change the overall story.

What makes it disappointing, the story? Not gonna lie I cant be arsed wasting my time if its shit, but id like to know why?

endless memes and complexity

Overall weakest cast, lackluster production, and it has issues tying up loose ends and unanswered questions. It has its highlights though, and you should probably play it either way to come to your own conclusion.

I'm going to play this as soon as I finish danganronpa 2
Give me a quick rundown about VLR because I forgot almost everything

complex motives

I bought this pile of horse shit on release and was so hyped for it. Everyone should have seen it coming with the developer not making enough money from the last two games to see it as a successful franchise and having to rely on petitions to consider making the third one. When they did they cut so many corners and the writing and puzzle design was so sloppy it was disgusting.

I couldn't figure out this puzzle so I dropped the game.
Does it get better?

Literally every single aspect of this game makes even VLR look like god's gift to earth.
It's sole saving grace was the meme potential.

I haven't touched it since release but one major thing to take into account is the development of the game
From what I remember the author never intended for VLR to have a sequel, but western fans did a kickstarter to show support. I think I even remember there being a Yea Forums collage that was sent to him.
As a result of all this support, the developer got enough funds to create ZTD - when it was announced the fanbase went crazy, tons of hype leading up to the release, tons of speculation and theories etc.
Then the game was release and turned out to be a pile of garbage:
>poor graphics with terrible voice acting
>some of the worst characters in the series
>phi and diana set up to have a major role in ZTD, but Phi does nothing and Diana turns out to be boring
> the plot twist is subpar compared to previous games
>akane, the main character of the previous games, does nothing
>meme scenes so terrible they feel like the author is mocking the player
>awful ending which leaves plenty of loose endings
>main villain is poorly written, has by far the worst dialogue in the series, and gives an incredibly shitty motive for his actions ("complex motives")


There's far more but I only played the game once at release so don't remember. At least the gameplay is standard.

ZTD is overall very enjoyable (especially when we're talking about puzzles and gameplay itself) but also quite pointless game. It doesn't add enough to plot and in addition, I really wonder why 999 has even got these unnecessary sequels... Zero Escape just works better as a stand-alone work imo.

op here, the game is okay/pretty good until you get close to the end, everything is going great and you're ALMOST understanding stuff then everything just goes to shit real quick

im not even sure what the devs were thinking, the rest of the game was okay, but when it got close to the end things were derailed faster than one of those nintendo labo threads, they tried to wrap every single plothole and loose end on the series on the last 20 minutes(?) or so, made every single boogeyman of all the past games into this zero (they're all the same person now), introduced some very heavy bullshit (MIND HACKING IS A THING NOW) and it really doesnt help that this zero looks, talks and sounds like an 80yr old senile shitposter

now since I too was bamboozled by complex shitposters and then convinced to play the game thinking WELL IT CANT BE SO BAD, here goes:

>phi is sigma and diana's daughter
>carlos tries to rape akane
>gab is the one responsible for beheading jumpei/killing mira

two of the above are true, one isnt, its this bad

my sides

dont do it bro

>ZTD is overall very enjoyable
kys

It's okay.

999 wasn't originally meant to have sequels, but VLR definitely was. It just took a while because neither game sold particularly well in Japan.

And ZTD was a disappointment as a sequel.

What's the matter, kid. Too complex for you?

>have a plan for a trilogy plotline
>Lmao I got bored so I rewrote the third game and left a bunch of plotpoints open from the previous game
I'm fucking mad

999 by itself is fairly mediocre and a lot of shit doesn't make sense, which is why it needed a Q&A to "solve" all the shit that wasn't addressed
