Was this a good twist?

>>386277990
has there even been another series where the first game was fantastic and the sequels only got worse and worse?

>>386277990
Yes but the remaster ruined it

>>386277990
yes, especially because it took perfect advantage of the medium it was told in
this twist wouldn't work on any other system other than the 3ds, and wouldn't work in a novel or movie/tvshow either

>>386277990
Spoilers my dude
But yeah it was a damn good twist

Why spoil it in the OP

>>386277990
So the dude is a chick?

i dont get it

You (the player) can see yourself reflected on the DS/3DS screen.

It only made ztd worse

>>386279174
You really wanna have it spoiled? 999 is a fantastic game. I usually hate these kinds of games but the game has great characters and good pacing, so think hard if you want the whole premise spoiled or not

A must play imo

>>386279594
Please do, I know how amazing this game is
But I'm aware of the future games thanks to /v/ threads and I have no intention of playing it due to the story line of the later games

I'm with this guy I finished it and I still don't understand wtf was going on.

>>386277990
Kinf of. It's full of plot holes though, like Akane being a siper shifter and Sven's lying(or not)

>>386280150
this is neat, how do you decal your car?

>>386279084
>>386279617

The game has dialogue on the top screen and narration on the bottom.
The pic doesn't mean much if you don't know about that aspect of the game.
You incorrectly assume the narration is the guy's inner monologue.
And that makes all the difference in the world.

So is VLR better or worse? My buddy insists its better but I'm 8 hours in and its kinda boring and poorly made. Then again there haven't been many reveals so far either.

>>386281102
It would have been better off with 2D sprites again instead of the 3D modeling

>>386281102
VLR is arguably better but you have to eat 17 hours of shit first, then you get to the better part.

ZTD was just a huge fucking mistake.

>>386280946
Huh, thats a neat gimmick. Must been a royal pain in the ass to write out in advance to not give it away

>>386281102
The middle drags on a bit because you've seen the events over and over, but the endings are worth it.

To say it's better or worse is a tough call that comes down mostly to personal opinion. Both games are great.

>>386281102
Much better. The only reason why people love 999 so much it's because it was their first Uchi game.

>>386281563
To be fair its not as well done as people here make it out to be, there are plenty of moments where the bottom screen is being used for narration from Junpei's side. Like the elevator scene.

>>386281102

VLR was the only good game in the series.

>>386277990
Am I retarded? I don't get the twist

Is it because I never played the game? I just don't get it, I understand the text in the top screen is dialogue and bottom is narration but I don't understand what's the twist here.

Is it that the guy sees himself as a boy when in reality he's just a crying girl? wtf?

>>386277990
I was so fucking pissed at that. I had been playing for like 10 hours, it was 3am and I just wanted the game to end and then the big twist was that you were controlled by mind ghost of a kid who had trouble solving a fucking sudoku.
Maybe if it wasn't a fucking up-side-down sudoku at the end, I could have accept it, but as it was, it was fucking stupid.

It was stupid anyways.

>>386283042
>Is it because I never played the game?

It's almost like twists require previous knowledge of the work to be effective or something, fucking hack writing if you ask me

>>386283042
>is it because I never played the game?
Yes, yes it is

>>386277990
I didn't like it

>>386281102

VLR Has Luna in it, making it automatically better

>>386283846
yes you did.

>>386277990
I remember when I first played the game I wondered why the narration on the bottom was in third-person.
I sort of just took it at face value and ignored it, thinking there wasn't any deep reason for it. Which ended up making the ending incredibly satisfying once I got to it.

SEEK A DOOR THAT CARRIES A [q]

>>386281102
it proceeds kinda slowly from the start but it's worth it in the end
it's closer to 40 hours long usually

>>386280036
Alright
Junepei the guy is trapped in a saw like style game in the present. The little girl Akane is trapped in the same type of game but in the past. Using quantum tunneling, ESP, and other mcguffins the player subconsciously receives and broadcasts information. In the end he is helping the little girl get out of the puzzle by broadcasting the answer to her. If he fails she will be incinerated.There is also time paradoxes and what not.

>>386286681
>Akane doesn't disappear no matter what
>paradoxes
what

>>386286842
Any time you make the wrong decisions and become "unsynched" Akane's "fever" appears or gets worse. Toward the end of the wrong paths she vanishes. Because she died in the past

>>386278146
VLR was a better game. Better cast, better bulk of the story, and most importantly better puzzles. 999 had a better ending and that's it.

>>386287052
That's just a fan theory. Uchi stated she just jumps to a different timeline.

Better than this literal fucking asspull on par O MY RUBBER NEN.

>>386287239
Uchikoshi says a lot of things.

>>386287391
And he is the writer so I'd rahter take his words as canon.

>>386287545
Actually 999 had 4 scenario writers and I'm pretty sure the actual writer was someone else too.

>/v/ unironically loves saw; the game
>same with that danga ronpa shit

fuck /v/

>>386287685
Nice non canon metafiction tou have there bro

>>386287338
>literal fucking asspull
That wasn't even a twist. It was foreshadowed so hard that there was no way anyone could be shocked or surprised at that.

>>386283042
>Is it because I never played the game?
A twist is something that takes previous information and then presents it a new light. Without the knowledge of the previous information, it's not a fucking twist.

Who is the cuckest, Junpei or Huey?

>>386288769
Sigma. He got bullied by a drunk whore.

>>386288158
While it was foreshadowed it is still a huge stretch that Sigma didn't at any point rub his eyes and feel his prosthetic eye, or scratch his head and notice his hair is much longer, or anything.
It's a fun twist but if you think about it, it doesn't hold up.

>>386278146
Valkyria Chronicles

>>386282102
No it isn't retard.

>>386289282
Or hear his own voice changed or older.

>>386278146
Most would say Dead Space, but, personally, I liked 2. But 3 was a total shitshow.

>>386289418
Did you play VC 3? VC 3 is actually the best one and improved many things while also abandoned the high school setting

>>386289282
>>386290235
They would probably say it was the effects of radical 6 but it was still bullshit.

>>386277990
no, it's fucking retarded

>>386289282
>>386290235
Didn't you guys play ZTD? It's pretty clear Signa is legit retarded.
You should actually be happy he didn't shit gimself during VLR.

>they absolutely butchered the dual screens thing, most players will play on Junpei mode, since it's that by default, and the text covers the sprites on Akane mode, but if you do that you miss over half the fucking writing in the game. He actually didn't use it for a great deal of the beginning of the game, because he didn't start streaming until later

My fucking face when

>>386281102
999 is the only good one really.

>>386281102
People seem to really like VLR for some reason I can't see why. The main issue I had was that the game ends on such a downer that was obvious sequel baiting that the whole game was ruined for me.

I played 999 and VLR and found both of them amazing with great twists. Then again, I'm easily impressed and cry like a bitch at the smallest things.
