Was it kino?
AI: The Somnium Files
It was good and I am immensely disappointed that there isn't a sequel I can play right now.
Being Ota is suffering
TEACUPS THAT ARE FLYING

>ON MAPS MYSTIFYING
>YOU'LL THINK THAT I'M LYING
HOW DOES A SONG PREDICT THE FUTURE SO WELL? The real plot twist was that she wasn't a manipulative liar, she was just brain damaged.
Pretty boring.
Bad side characters, telegraphed plot twists, terrible puzzles and game mechanics, cheesy as fuck to the point you can't take the game seriously....expected way more from Chunsoft.
It's not a bad game is just...okay. Almost completely underwhelmed by everything that happened and once it was over I was like "wait, that's it?". MC and Aiba saved this game from being a dumpster fire.
>just samefagged on some Yea Forums shitty romcom thread
Ota is LITERALLY me.
imagine being this user.
Main twist is descent. The ending left me in disgust. 6/10.
>Date looks like a super serious chad in all the promo art
>inggame he is a retarded goof who is horny 24/7 and only gets shit done because Aiba can act as his tard wrangler
It's scary how much I relate with Ota. Also his route was extremely heartwarming...
Also I have a questions. Who was Saito currently possessing in Ota's end?
>tfw characters are all well designed
>game is very niche and thus will get barely and fanart
It's suffering.
More or less this, but I didn't expect anything else from Chunsoft.
The dream gameplay is awful, characters are mostly dogshit, the mystery itself is pretty interesting but is wrapped in boring dialogues and useless location traveling.
Reminder that Ota alone is better than any ZE character.
Is it time for the contrinarians to come out?
the absolute madman
twitter.com
Imagine being this upset that someone doesn't like something you like.
I mostly agree with you
The game had the potential to be great but instead it focused on the weakest parts
It's the same in every route, it's just the route determines when you intercept the killer and which body he's in at the time and who's dead.
Ota's route is the main one, isn't it? It's the route that leads to the final route but gets locked until you do the others
The most kino game of the year so far.
Exactly right?
Imagine just hating stuff because everyone else likes it.
probably just Boss like Annihilation
Or you know, because it's just not great and you don't force yourself to ignore something's flaws out of commitment.
>The sequel to AI: The somnium files gets announced
> AI: Zero Escape
>This Sequel explores Date as a shifter
Please god no
Only thing I didnt like was the lazy writing of why you know stuff from other routes
"lol alternate universes exist dude!"
Nah, fuck that. Lazy cop out.
Where can I download the OST
The vast majority of stuff like that is explained by your memories just coming back.
A few other things are mentioned off-the-cuff and are probably just 4th wall breakers.
look for it on the internet
If you really need it I guess I could upload it
Pls do. The sound compression on youtube is awful.

Pretty great, I like it more than Zero Escape for the most part but not as much as Remember11/Ever17.
Mizuki would have been better if instead of being a tsundere was a broken loli that made you want to protect her
Date's somnium should have focused on Date struggling with his amnesia and trying to act as her parent instead of what it was

That is what I thought it is going to before Mizuki open her mouth,
but that's too boring.
I love what we got now,
It actually feels like how a single dad would act around his teenager daughter in rebellious phase

The bants between her and Date in the car where he says Mizuki helps him pick up chicks who are into single dads was fantastic.
Autistic but cute
>Everybody says this game is predictable.
Where were you super WRONG? I know none of you faggots batted 1.000
I was 100% sure from the second I saw the video that Ota was the Polar Bear.
Same.
Thanks a million!
it was sjw as fuck and the mistranslated to pander to lgbt every chance they get. There was no lgbt bullshit in the japanese version.
Also there's tons of misinformation bullshit liars on twitter spreading lies that it did have lgbt bullshit in japanese version. Funny enough, they spread that bullshit so much that the entire twitter believed the lies.
How have you guys already finished the game?
I've been playing 3 days straight with a bit of shitpost on 4ch here and there and still not unlocked the green path
So it worse or better than ZTD?
Yeah same honestly.
It seemed like such an obvious set-up by him gone wrong so he could look like a hero. I legit thought Date was wrong for going after So in the Mizuki route at first.
It's only ~20 hours
Significantly better
How's the Switch port? I pirated the PC version a few hours ago and it's got some weird bugs and graphical issues. I've never played one of Uchikoshi's games before but I like how much the gameplay in this resembles Ace Attorney.
Took me 28 hours, spread over the last 3 days.
with rushing the dialogue?
I let the voices play auto
Thanks for the mega link user.
I like some video games more than I like Yea Forums
Sometime's there's a big delay between picking an option and when a character starts speaking. Only issue I noticed but it's irritating, especially towards the end when a certain character starts emoting heavily but doesn't speak
>I've never played one of Uchikoshi's games before but I like how much the gameplay in this resembles Ace Attorney.
but it doesn't aside from the investigation parts being somewhat confusing on what you need to do to proceed, there's nothing resembling trials
anyways I heard the Switch port has a lot of loading issues
Gameplay is a lot worse since ZTD at least tried to do escape room segments. I think I liked the story and presentation in ZTD better as well. AI was still a fun story though.
Dialogue scenes go slow since it keeps getting interrupted by trying to load in the different scenes.
Nah if this is what you are talking about,
then it is exactly the same in Japanese.
I don't really care either way.
>Gameplay is a lot worse since ZTD at least tried to do escape room segments
This game is a different genre than ZTD. ZTD is visual novel with gameplay sections. This is a point and click mystery adventure game. The dream sections are about the characters, the "game" part is trying to figure stuff out as you go along.
For the most part I just went as fast as I could read, except during critical scenes where I didn't want to mess with the pacing. Also every time there was an info dump that I already heard in another route I just held RT.
The funny thing is she's basically just talking about how "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is something that has a basis in reality.
it's worth playing
reminder that moma is the true hero
"What, you mean a dick?"
fucking a+ delivery
uh i got everything that would interrupt me out of the way and then i sat down and played the game over a few days
it's like 20 hours. maybe longer if you let every driving animation play or whatever. the most important part is to neglect your children for the video game, like one of the game characters would.
Please god yes
I want Date to fuck Phi in her ripe virgin pussy
>tfw actually like the english dub
this hasn't happened since FFXII wtf
>the whole ota and mayumi section
>due to her dementia she still thinks her husband still is alive
That hit me so hard. That whole path was great.
Also the English Dub is amazing. English Aiba > JP Aiba
If you haven't done the Iris path, it's going to hurt again.
I did and I think it was the weakest one. Sorry.
>naix, etc. didnt matter
>implying
>he doesn't take the naix redpill
>my grandpa used to live with us and take care of me but now that he's weaker he can't visit us anymore.

>can't call him up because it fucking hurts with him always asking how's school (i dropped out) over and over again and asking me if he's seen my grandma (she died earlier this year).
fuck i actually bawled.
would he really fuck someone who basically is human Aiba though?
gross
yeah that somnium was really good in an entirely painful sort of way

just get your shit together
This made me stop looking around. I probably missed lots of jokes, oh well.
so which version of this should i be grabbing
The true end has a scene where Date remembers Mizuki crying while Date is in his coma. The makes a remark that he shouldn't have that memory afterwards.
oh no no no
T-thanks.
>just get your shit together
I'm trying to improve my self but its a slow process.
>AI at the very top
I thought most people like it even less than ZTD.
anything except switch, people say it has performance problems
The scenes feel like they last forever. It would be a lot better if they cutout the Aiba visions and heartbeats and let it play out like a normal QTE.
but the Aiba vision is the best part
>Galactic brain cutscene followed by "LOOK A PORNO MAG" "PORNO MAG?WOOOOOOOOO"
Evolver bullet loading was pointless as well. Hell the whole idea of it was underused since there was only 3 or 4 bullet types that ever was used.
it's just me or A-set's Japanese voice sounds like Kizuna Ai?
youtube.com
A-Set's entire shtick is based in part on Ai so it's probably deliberate.
A-set was supposed to be Kizuna Ai. They even used her graphic style in the text.
Kizuna AI sounds cute and english ASet is kinda annoying
I'd imagine english Kizuna Ai would be insufferable.

Mizuki. She deserves so much better than Renju and Shoko and I'm glad she gas a home with Date, Iris, Aiba, and Hitomi by the end.
The worst part about playing this game is that no one I know IRL will ever play it
yeah that's really bad
25 is the expriation date for women
Force them. They won't hate you for it. All your vidya friends should have "fuck you, play it" status with each other.
>first sex jokes go through
>wow user...uhh...yeah hahah you're into some weird shit...uhh, we gonna play siege later?
boss is over 40 and looks hotter than anyone else

The receptionist is better though
those are useless eggs for producing offspring. absolutely haram
i hate this generation
There's basically a 90% chance that EVERY ONE of those friends has jacked it to hentai and is as much a closet weeb as you are.
That just means you can bareback without worrying about pregnancy. All else being equal, older women are better
hitomi is best but she's 37 so she's an autism child factory. your only options are iris and wife husbandry of mizuki. send all of the old cows out to pasture
It's not anything bad, it's just how it is.
It's the worst being a cyborg bordering between two worlds. I can't relate to hardcore weebs but I can't relate either to normies.
You did get her ending right?
>I can't relate to hardcore weebs
You're literally playing a visual novel involving psychic mind hacking where the lead girl has flowing white hair with streaks of fluorescent red because she is an eyeball AI and thinks her owner would find the form aesthetically pleasing.
You ARE a hardcore weeb.
you don't need to play all of the same games as your friends. i have a couple of friends that work at companies that produce games i won't even spend my time playing. they're your friends, not your clones.
>marry Hitomi and become Iris's father
>adopt Mizuki
Date already has two kids, dingbat.
Not this user but I did and I believe this ending is canon.
I'ma be real with you and say that having Iris as your adopted kid is a poor strategy if you're trying to AVOID having autistic children.
It was a brain tumor and she got it taken care of
user i'm going to send you my property tax bills
why do all of sejima's children have brain defects
A major theme of this game was about the importance of found family. I don't know what to tell you if you think adoption is a scam. Did you actually engage with the story or did you just like the pretty colors on screen?
have you ever read atlas shrugged, user
Is that LGBT controversy is true? Or it's just the west "mistranslating" as usual?
i don't know what controversy you mean, but the lgbt quote spread around is in the original moon.
What controversy? It's been mentioned only once in the whole game and it's optional dialogue.
/pol/tards were just blewing this out of proportion.
The "controversy" is /pol/tards throwing a fit because a 12 year old girl in this game admires LGBT people according to a few lines of optional dialogue.
It's not a mistranslation, that would be a controversy. The line is just a one liner, it makes sense in context and isn't delved into at all. If anything, the people bitching about it should be praising the fact that there are multiple gay characters in the game and ZERO of them are in your face about it- you only ever find out they're gay by context clues.
look at the mad gays
uh their being gay is actually a major part of a route it isn't vague at all
there's also an lgbt entry in the terminology section that i'm surprised no one's posted
They literally never outright say they're gay.
one character directly talks about why he does a thing, user
>Admiring degeneracy
And this is how Japan will sink. Even further after the Olympics.
so who would storm 51 outta all of them?
no one cares. take it back to twitter
anons please don't respond to posts with political bullshit
Aren't you guys still exhausted over everyone laughing at you losing your minds over the ~5 pixel wide LGBT flags in Celeste? Being so puritanical seems tiring.
Tesa would try.
Mizuki would succeed.
it's real, but in an innocent way. Uchikoshi isn't a sjw forcing agendas.

come on user i need to know if you are an objectivist, because you read atlus shrugged or not. i think your understanding of the word engagement is extremely facile.
matt thorson is a transtrender

if you put shitty political bullshit in a game people are going to talk about, leftypol and pol are two sides of the same coin you can't have one without the other
>Free the Soul and Naix are both the same organization
>Free the Soul is partially an anagram of Left Eye of Horus
>Aiba is the left eye of Horus and is feeding information into the Wadjet System
you could have your boring discussion about a game you didn't play somewhere else tho.
Heh. So far the game is pretty fun though it's kinda annoying most inspection points lead nowhere. They should have kept only the ones that lead to jokes. Happy Aiba is voiced by Akari Kitou. I've liked her voice since Grancrest and she was great recently in Nakanohito too, very pleasant to listen to.
you should be happy you're not just talking to the same 30 people for 500 post anymore
PLEASE HELP
Im on the warehouse psyc. I can drop either the crate or roll the barrel. but either way i run out of time if I try to use forklift or anything else. Am I not supposed to jump on the puddle at the start? wut do? and which gets me closer to putting that Boss bitch in jail?
why would your presence improve a discussion
Jump on ice to break it
Pick one of the sides
Turn on power
Motivate Ota
anything's better than a reddit tier circlejerk
> Am I not supposed to jump on the puddle at the start?
I'm pretty sure the punch works too. You can interact with Iris for more Timies.
keep telling this to yourself /pol/tard
not really. you can't even be bothered to play a game to get mad at it. it's a waste of my time to see you argue with oversensitive fags
>game wil probablyl bomb
>we will get 0 pron of pic related
which side highers my chances of putting Boss in her place? or does it not matter? didnt realize there was multiple routes til I ended up with her going craycray
you can't unlock that route until you beat every other route either way
lmao you will probably go insane in the factory psync
you will explore all routes before you are done
You're gonna have to do both choices eventually to get the true end user just pick whatever
Huh interesting, I used slide and that worked to remove the ice as well.
oh ok. how many routes are there total? can i beat this game in one sitting? ive been here 3 hours or so and can probably chill for 5 more
if that's your style I'm sure there's already a subreddit for this game where you can sniff each others farts
how about you just play the fucking game. want us to hold your hand for you fucking faggot?
the game is about 20-ish hours long so that's up to how sleep deprived you want to be
If you pick the big shelf, Boss dies in that route too. She's already dead if you saw her craycray.
5 routes, takes around 20 hours.
if you no life it and skip superfluous animations and don't get owned by a lack of resource management
otherwise expect to spend 3 days playing it
i want to call anons faggot and nigger when they deserve it so I'm in the right place. Also I could say the same thing. Go back to /pol/.

If you thawed the sign, you want to sortie the forklift. If you pushed the barrel, you want to mess with the control panel in the back.
I thawed the sign and sortied the forklift but always end up with 0 seconds
jump puddle -> thaw shelf with box-> sortie forklift
0 time left. im actually retarded
Is Miyuki supposed to be talking after your first Psync with her? Cause she's mute after I finished it.
interact with iris on the table first to save time
o shit delete your game dude it must be haunted.
i don't know maybe play the fucking game
that one's not bad aside from how the fuck was I supposed to know I had to tackle the ladder what the fuck
>he chose the right cage
it tells you you made her relive a painful memory you dumb fuck also maybe go for the left cage because the routes there are better first IMO
Dude. I did the left cage and she's still mute.
>I did the left cage and she's still mute.
No you didn't.
have you considered a reboot or verifying your files if on PC
he's playing the wii version where the map is mirrored
mizuki a besto.
I dont get it. interact with iris but that doesnt stop me from having less than 10-20 seconds left by the time I get to the sortie
this is the thread for ai somnium files. no miyukis here.
I suck a lot of dick.
It's okay. I also forgot that you had to press A to activate a timie until my third psync.
He means restart and try again, talk to Iris as the first thing you do to save time. Timie acquisition is sometimes more important than doing the "correct" thing.
Why are there so many retards here asking for puzzle help? I don't mind helping out but if you really need a fucking walkthrough it's a bit embarassing. The puzzles aren't even that hard in this game.
Its not fucking FAIR
what key is that on PC? I dont see that option in the control UI when I hit middle mouse
Yes you are. I just tested it in game and the only way to run out of time is because you're not using any of the timeys. At the top of the screen there are mods to reduce the time of actions and if you're using each one for the next step, you'll have more than enough time for all the actions.
Kazali best boy.
Use the timies you dumb fuck, you get like 3 free ones from Iris. If you still can't solve it not even nanomachines could remove the brain tumor you must have.
Jesus fuck why are you such a brainlet. Doing actions that consume a small amount of time and give you highly beneficial timies is the basis of clearing somniums.
you can just select the timies with your mouse
Timie management can be a bit hard going in blind. So you might fuck up boss's psync because you didn't bring enough timies to tackle both the ladder and open the door.
Using purely keyboard, you scroll through them with I think z and c. To activate, it's spacebar from memory.
wait what
jesus fuck ok im retarded. I assumed all puzzles could be beaten with 0 timies and timies was just like a handicap booster. turns out I was the handicap all along
If you didn't figure out the system by then GOD bless you retarded fucking monkey.
>5 seconds to open door
>Should I take the 5 second loss, or use my only 1 second timie??
>uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
lmao
why would you NOT use them
when you get [1]s you should expect to find corresponding 999s
better to learn now than come ask why you can't get beyond some 999
>I assumed all puzzles could be beaten with 0 timies
Laughs in Boss.
>Every single door is 999 with a x10 penalty
>Gee, why did you use all your timies on the doors and didn't keep a spare for the fucking ladder
i went through areas without them because it was faster to not click click click, but you can't go on forever that way
that's what the retries are for, and the time taken for your final action doesn't matter unless you want to unlock the concept art
it is a bit stupid that figuring out the gimmick at the start tends to rob me of most of my time already
The Switch version going to get a physical release?
Best ending
imagine how hot must be saito's seething, all his elaborated plans got BTFO by the power of big tits
saito discovered a body-switching machine and the first thing he did was rip off his fucking eyeball and trade minds with a fat brain-damaged yakuza. WHY?
because retard me assumed it was a free screw up card and refused to use it cuz I wanted to do it without free passes. I just misunderstood cuz im a fucking idiot
complex motives
spoiler tags
I mean, I guess he assumed he can always trade back.
Also, are you always going to be posting this in every thread? are you that seething?
I love this game but yes this part was stupid. This game has many undefendable moments.
Gotta try out your new toys.
fuck off game's been out for like 4 days already or so.
Post Aibas.
I don't get why Falco even knew about the Chiba prototype. Did Boss really leak that many secrets to him?
I made a bunch of mistakes in that somnium and still ended up having enough left over time to use a [1/something] timie on the ladder, it's super fuckin forgiving. Also, if I recall correctly it gives you enough [1]s to use on every door (besides the one that gives a x999 penalty timie) AND the ladder.
use spoiler tags nigger
sometimes its better to interact with non-essential things in order to gain the timie that reduces time elsewhere
this'll be necessary to complete some later psyncs
AGENT DATE, YOU GOT 5 MINUTES.
>tfw you will never see date and aiba again
i haven't been in any other threads
a fat brain-damaged yakuza that can't see properly and was beaten almost to death while tortured
It's called black bar general for a reason user.
>she thought this was the ideal body type for Date
What the actual FUCK did she mean by this?
>mistranslated
I don't think Falco did know about it but since Saito was well connected to the underworld he already knew it was stolen but didn't give a shit about it until he learned the body swapping part.
has this game been censored in anyway?
she's jacked directly into his brain, so she knows the truth
probably has same body type as reika from the cabaret club
where is the gif/webm version
this game is tame there's nothing to censor
>Iris getting split in half
>Saito's head exploding
the girl literally says "LGBT" in Japanese, including the voice clip
here
I'd like to say that if anything it's more uncensored than you'd expect and even has a CERO Z but we all know that's not what people mean by censorship and only care about anime titties, I mean I care about those too but I don't know anymore when everything gets called censorship
That's not Aiba wiggling in the barrel.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>anime humour

>I hate you. I never want to see you again.
Anyone else find the easter egg for Uchi's previous games? Pretty neat.
literally no one cares about comic book violence
To be fair though, if those scenes were going to be censored, it would have been the Japanese version because of Japaneses laws against gore. Japanese RE games get hit hard because of these laws.
Im gonna replay the game in a year or two
not
>DONT LEAVE ME ALONEEEEEE
>PLEASE DONT LEAVE MEEEE
Is the Japanese version of that scene any different? I know they censor gore over there a lot.
Is there an actual easter egg and not just more dumb references?
>iris has like 10 themes
Like ... why? She wasn't that important.
the autographs in matsushita diner during mayumi's psync
Uchi liked her design so she had to force her down everyone's throats
I doubt it, this game has the equivalent of an 18+ rating as I mentioned, they try to avoid those thus resulting in the censorship like pink blood, but I don't know, I'm on PC so it's not like I can check the consoles
THE POWER OF HORNY
underrated post
pretty funny how she dies extremely early in every left route and you never find out until the end of the game
Iwai's body saves Iris whenever you see it.
see
then what this guy is saying isn't true?
>Started on left route
>Switch to right after Iris's somnium to see what would be different
>See the frozen body, think I have to go left to save Iris
>Complete the entire left side trying to save her
I was a bit surprised that she can only be saved on the right.
>then what this guy is saying isn't true?
On the internet!?
I'm still surprised at how every single english voice actor somehow managed to sing properly while keeping their voices sounding like the character they voice
What he means is that Iris would have been killed in Renju's body on 2nd day.
i'm surprised that i played through the whole game in japanese yet the ending was in english? sounded fucking awful, doesn't help that none of the english va's can sing except for boss
I'm just checking people kept say three houses wasn't censored when it was released as well
yeah that was legit terrorism
If you see her body, you tell Iris to stay at home. If she stays at home, she lives.
You've got a real lenient definition of "properly"
Did Saito in Boss' body remind anyone else of this?
putting the SJW scene aside, why does date masturbate to cuckold porn?
>Ota's mom getting memory loss
>Own mom getting memory loss
I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST SOME FUN MURDER MYSTERY
because it's funny
Because it's funny.
no there must also be suffering
That's the right route.
compared to dubbed songs in other japanese games and taking into account how many voice actors it was, it's pretty impressive
>cutscenes are broken in windows 7
fucking why
from someone that would put north american voice actors on a barge and ship them to north korea i suppose i can appreciate that they bothered to spend money on having them record all of the lines for the anime expo audience
What SJW scene?
Just finished, reminded me a lot of ghost trick. Short, but sweet, definitely better than Zero time 3 and maybe on par with the first zero escape.
Does it have a chance of being at least as good as AI?
I just finished ZTD after beating 999 and VLR a few weeks ago (bought them during steam summer sale) and overall I thought ZTD was pretty good and had the best puzzles of the series.
you guys shit on it far too much, it's no more convoluted and contrived than the other two games..
>b-but muh ending twist is dumb
yes, was this your first zero escape game?
he's referring to the scene where mizuki says she respects lgbt groups and thinks they are nicer people when you ask her if she's uncomfortable with the tranny
I actually wished there were more infodumps / crazy science theories
fuck this game for making me cry so much
fuck you im not crying you are fucking shit fuck fuck FUCK
So my thoughts
Suprised they didn't really go into Renju and Shokos backstories a bit more. Seemed like towards the end they were setting up Renju as somehow doing something to get revenge against So, but I guessed that never happened. Otherwise, good game
ZTD being convoluted is not the problem. Leaving 100 questions from VLR unanswered while adding 100 more loose ends of its own is what makes ZTD a shit end to the series.
the ai propagating through satellites conspiracy was much more interesting to me than the body switching, although it did make my brain spin after learning, trying to piece together who switch with who and when
During Iris's route I was really expecting Ota or Iris to bring up that theory of the evil super AI that punishes everyone that doesn't willingly contribute to the construction of said super AI.
I forget what it's called, but it seems like the kind of thing that would be in a Uchikoshi game.
is it even possible to beat Iris's Psync? I try to believe in her and I get fucked all the time, I only beat the bad route alternative.
not to mention the essentially pure reset of character personality
>summarize for me
>character doesn't summarize for you
>it's no more convoluted and contrived than the other two games..
It actively shits on plot points and characters established throughout the series while reducing the entire franchise to nothing more than dumb memes. It's completely horrible in most respects, and it existing as the end to Zero Escape is even worse, leading to an utterly abhorrent game. Be silent if you don't know what you're talking about. There was a reason your thread archived.
that's roko's basilisk
yes you believe in her and don't interact with anything stupid until the mirror at the end or you commit to disbelieving her
you'll have to do both eventually
>best puzzles
PUSH THE FUCKING BUTTON SIGMA
The gameplay already looks really unappealing from the little they have shown.
Do stuff like inspecting the gates to get some timies. Then Dance
This was the biggest offender for me.
Sigma is supposed to be a gigabrain scientist but doesn't show it at all. Akane is also notably butchered and makes it impossible to believe she goes on to become the person we see in VLR. Junpei's attitude seems reasonable considering what he went through. Phi barely does anything for the whole game.
You best leave Kazani alone man, he's truly the best boy.
>at the end of the game
>saito takes out his eye and put it on the shelf before psync
>then after the psync the machine takes his eye out again(that he doesnt have) when he pulls out the VR headset
nice fuck up
>Leaving 100 questions from VLR unanswered
Isn't that more of an indictment of VLR than ZTD?
just checked the metacritic user scores (critic scores don't count)
999: 8.8
VLR: 8.7
ZTD: 8.3
AI: 7.0
tf?
it's missing the plot twist epilogue that requires a sequel to resolve
Wasn't that the nano wires that connected to his brain through the eye socket?
the prototype machine just like drips blood everywhere when you use it
>It actively shits on plot points and characters established throughout the series while reducing the entire franchise to nothing more than dumb memes.
So does VLR and people praise it.
ah ok nevermind then
that was confusing
name a more wholesome moment in this game
The only thing it does is make Clover dumb as a sack of bricks, which wasn't as big a deal as making 4 established characters into complete retards.
Yeah that's the one.
I was surprised to not see it mentioned, despite it providing a "reasonable" backstory/motivation for Naix. Not that it really matters in the end I guess.
Mizuki chasing after Date in the last psync on her route.
tokeo was pure
Not really, nothing wrong with cliffhanger endings when you actually resolve them in the next game.
'takeo
There's everything wrong with that cause the next game almost never happened.
Who else got completely baited by naix? I had to give Uchi props for using his classic sci-fi fuckery as a massive red herring
it wasn't planned that way
So this is good? Its not another ZTD?
Anything in the narrative that explains what pushes saito to bodyswap?
I just don't see it, he is careless as fuck with his corpse, mutilate his own eye like nothing then he somehow SEETHE hard and plans 4D chess because someone else has it
it's not hard to be better than ZTD but yes
What
said, ZTD only almost didn't happen because VLR was a massive failure in nipland
i wanted to believe because then iris having a brain tumor could just be part of the conspiracy and not real
but then the game punished me for looking for easy answers
I didn't. Well kinda, I was 80% yeah this is complete bullshit, 20% going I swear to fucking god if they go this route, this is going to be the worst shit i've ever played since ZTD.
None. It's my headcanon, but an explanation that makes sense to me is that he figured he'd try out this new toy he just bought with Daddy's money and he figured he'd be ok to switch back immediately. Instead he found himself in a retard brain and his old body got the fuck outta there, because he didn't realize (because Falco didn't know) that the prototype gave a stimulant to one guy, and a sedative to the other.
because he's just so curazy
it's not a high point in the writing
I actually felt pretty excited for classic Uchi memery since I'm such a sucker for it. I was even happier when I learned the game played off that expectation to bait me.
the problem is that he just rips his eye out with no concern whatsoever for repair, which is just retarded.
To be fair the stimulant and sedative part shouldn't have mattered if his bodyguards had done their fucking job.
It's not IMPOSSIBLE to think that he was planning on going into So's body so he could be a powerful congressman.
But it's never explained or anything and I'm with you that it's kind of a dumb thing to do.
He probably didn't care about returning originally since he seemingly kept Rohan's eye intact. I assume he wanted to live the rest of his life as a mob boss after offing Boss and Pewter who would know the truth. I'd imagine a life of being able to kill people for fun was appealing for him but it wasn't until he learned that he didn't get the same pleasure from killing people in other bodies that he wanted to return.
no young man is going to trade for an old retard's body long-term
I don't think they knew what he was doing and by the time they realized it was too late.
That's what I assumed too. It honestly doesn't matter because even if he didn't like that body he could just change to another body.
brown bricks
Wait aiba skin is supposed to be white like a normal person?
She looks complete pale white in the game.
Uchi needed an excuse for Date to be able to have an AI waifu in his eye
Is iris route supposed to be a joke?
wait a second
pewter is a faggot or what
Hey anons.... what's your name?
Yes and he's also gay
the game crashes like crazy
It literally has that though.
What did Renju say before climax?
You're retarded to believe this.
We would get 0 porn of this game even if it doesn't bomb.
Keep telling yourself that.
>Me at 19 years old
"Man Clover is hot, can't wait for all the porn I'll find of her"
switch or ps4?
It's a point and click adventure game. PC.
there's a weird bug that stops FMVs from playing on windows 7 for some reason and i can't be assed to upgrade since spike chinsoft probably won't fix it
Did I miss a Boss name reveal?
I thought it was going to be some plot twist about it.
>see parallel worlds and time travel mentioned
>UCHI I SWEAR TO GOD
>turns out to be the results of a brain tumor
honestly surprised how grounded this game is, and i think it's better for it.
I've said it a ton, this game is a murder mystery. It's supposed to be solvable. The gameplay is 20 hours of cross checking ages and making inferences. I think people who go in expecting this to be like Zero Escape are going to be disappointed because those games had good puzzle chunks and a story you were just along for the ride with.
her name is revealed in mizuki's route
In Mizuki's ending at the hospital they call for Boss by her name. They even give you the option to say it to Date.
>completed the game
>wonder how the nips think about it
>went to 5ch and 2chan
>literally 0 thread about it
You honestly can't blame Uchikochi for trying to pander to westerner so much
What the fuck was his name again guys?
corgi
Tegami
Ki- kimi no na wa?
>only asked him once because i didn't want to be rude (even though it doesn't matter since it's just a video game)
he was so delighted that date cared what his name was
how could anyone *cough* bully h im?
>the "canon" route is the one where you neglect Mizuki just like her parent
Uchi even left a note in the appendix that if you find any doujins (he didn't explicitly say "of his games" but it's implied) that he would appreciate being forwarded them... for research, obviously.
>the canon route is where you let Hitomi heal her wounds instead to better accept her as her soon-to-be new Mom
I see no issue here, user
mizuki is an asshole and deserves to be neglected
Nip tastes confuse me. But I can't blame them TOO much for this- like, on the ARG YT channel, the Japanese A-set only has about a quarter of the subscribers English A-set has.
(reminder) ZTD almost didn't get made because 999 and VLR lost money in Japan.
>twist
Iris sync on left path was actually Saito
>sync
SYNCHING IN THE MaiN 1
>character
Date obviously
So are there parallel worlds or not? In the epilogue Date has a memory of Mizuki crying over him in the hospital, from her route. He remembers the taxi driver too. Some of the other events do get explained by Date regaining his past memories though.
I almost died laughing with this part for some reason, I never expected to see HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN here but it makes sense
>ZTD: 8.3
>AI: 7.0
you just answered your question
>masturbates to cuckold porn
>lives with an adopted daughter
you can't make this up
How the fuck is Pewter and Renju not gay in the japanese version? The story literally doesn't work without it.
Nope, game is bugged.
I assume he thought he could fix his brain that way or something.
For the same reason he gets literall super powers from porn magazines, he's obsessed with titties and gets boners from literal skeletons.
Spoilers: Because it's funny
I really like it so far, btw the dub is really good date especially
imagine being not only this retarded and wrong but also this rent free. hetshits please get a grip on reality.
Both of them did? Damn, I didn't know that. But you're saying they made enough overseas to cover the loss? That seems odd to me for some reason
Date makes it perfectly clear he's hardcore Team MILF when it comes to the Teen vs. MILF debate. I imagine getting it on with a married woman with kids is high tier on his list of fetishes
So if Date only knew Renju for 2 years, how did he convince him to let 8 year old Mizuki stay with him? Is it just because they were always shitfaced drunk together?
>Is it just because they were always shitfaced drunk together?
He's not a great dad.
>tfw Pewter and Renju scene.
I literally cringed on how forced that was, but the signs were all there; This faggot would've added incest and pedophilia if it would make his game sell better. Uchi games are a complete red flag now.
>these characters are lovers
>excuse me, but this is extremely *forced*
>Spreading degeneracy.
It was never foreshadowed or hinted at, and those two were never even mentioned they know each other. You would think Renju being a dick lover would ring once through the game.
Also, Japanese devs almost never add any member of an LGBT in their games due their culture advocating that sort of behavior, but Uchi is just sockpuppeting to his twitter followers, who would never even buy his game.
>most characters are adults
>games has nothing memeworthy
>final tweest wasn't even good
It's bad.
