[emigre]

I really want to play this

 

[isthar]

I gotta jump in here -- best game ever made. I'm at about 20 h, and the story is as juicy as every episode of 24h was back when it was hot!

So do I

Anyone else reckon RSG are putting a less than stellar performance for the European release? First there's no english dub and the whole bollocks about a concrete release date.

Does this game still have the whole digital root thing?

Nope. No one has official numbers now, the numbers just count how many BP you have, which plus/minus when you ally/betray. Now the determinant of which door you go through are the colors of display on your watch, which also changes after every round randomly.

Growth spurt? Wait that's not quite right.... Plastic surgery?

verily possible. she looks like a young highschooler in 999 but she was 18 IIRC. have you seen the official art of clover from 999? those thighs and legs!

I think I'm gonna go with plastic surgery too. Look at those cute freckles in 999! They're all gone now! I have seen the art, but it's still a pretty big change over a year. Haha whatever, this is a game, anything can happen~ Maybe the whole 999 thing kept her shrunk and then all of a sudden she had a growth spurt or something

Been playing the game for a few days now(more like on and off since release day). The PEC Room glitch(Do not save during that, only before and after. Don't save during any puzzles, actually.) kept discouraging me(just kept freezing, thankfully no save erasure), otherwise I'd probably have it completed by now. I'm enjoying it, but I don't know if I enjoyed 999 or this more. Probably 999, much more tense.

What glitch? LOL :3. I went through the PEC room and I didn't encounter any freezing....and I've saved during my puzzles and nothing happened. I think I also saved while I was in the PEC room. Weird :/

Me too. Don't you have a vita or something though?

Europe will only get it like in about a week from now I think.

IMO, she was always the same height. she just wore heels. as for the freckles, it's possible she used make up to get cover it up.

I share the same sentiments especially with the lack of dual audio. I blame my OCD. Well at least they updated their site already.

And according to them:

UK and France release - 23rd November 2012
Australia to follow shortly after UK release
Germany and Italy release - January 2013

I believe Amazon.co.uk stated the same date (at least for the UK release)

Imagine if they decided at the last minute to have the watch promo as well. I'd be kinda pissed :|

 

[iron_man99]

She says she is 21 in the game

 

[WiiUBricker]

God I never hated the region lock as much as now. Do something hackers.

Amazon sent me an e-mail about the release date. Confirming the release date less than three weeks before release is concerning. Though to be fair on RSG, there are worst offenders like Zen United and Persona 4tA. They said in August the game would be released relatively soon after the US release but now we're in November the E release date hasn't been announced yet. REubbing, whilst I prefer a dub, it does mean RSG get to skip some hoops regarding licensing which would likely delay the release date.

That doesn't explain how she's 3D now and she wasn't before

this is from when you start up the game, pretty crazy.
"Why do people...Betray each other?"
"If you can't trust anyone...Then everyone should DIE."
"manned expedition, pandemic, chinese room, antimatter bomb, GJ TM-KM506, prisoner's dilemma, Tu Fui ego eris, AB Project, Axelsvir"
"Ice9, antimatter reactor, Radical-6, Myrmidons, Bloody moon, Three Laws Of Robotics, Schrödinger's cat"



now tell me, what does all of that mean, without looking it up ?

Each one correlates to one character in the game.
Am I right?

If IRL, then there's Schrodinger's cat and Ice-9, antimatter bomb.... and to a certain extent manned expedition and pandemic (though not sure what the context is)

If in reference to the game (those who played 999 and did a lil research will likely know what I am on about) then prob just ice-9

That comment made no sense to me.

Spoiler

Seaking asked if we knew what things listed in the last 2 lines were without searching em up. So I just pointed out the ones I knew. Such as Schrodinger's cat.

However, the reason why I mentioned "in reference to the game" is because

Spoiler: Just in case. May contain spoiler for 999

In 999, the concept of Ice-9 was brought up. However, the properties of Ice-9 in that game is not exactly the same as that of Ice-9 in real life.

Another spoiler if you have not already played 999: The Titanic was said to have 2 sister ships called the Gigantic and Britannic iirc in the game. While it is true that the Titanic DID have 2 sister ships, the names were altered. Well at least that was what Wikipedia said when I first searched it up.

Basically the previous game had many things which existed in real life but had the details changed and sensationalised.

In retrospect, I do agree that my phrasing was a bit off the first time round. LOL
