DS #5257: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (USA)

Oh good lord! There is an UNBELIEVABLE amount of text reading in this game. Like it's basically reading a novel. And I've played games where they were text heavy, but this is just freakin' ridiculous.

Also, I realized, this game, it totally reminds me of the Saw movies.

Apparently I am the only one surprised it got an M rating.


I assumed it would get T.

You know how wussy ESRB is with ratings.

It has frequent strong language and some kinda gruesome images but BOY the descriptions given of these images are what make it hella M worthy

LOL, the description???

I must have watched way too many horror/slasher/gore movies, but I actually wanted to see the blown up carcasses to get the "feel" of it. But the game's atmosphere is creepy enough as it is. And giving nightmares to the core audience would be a no-no, anyways. Dunno if this is really M-worthy, though.

Great game, recommend it to everyone. I'm on my second playthrough and the only reason I stopped playing was coz my batteries were going out and it was 3 am. Peace out

To be honest with you, I agree.

I like novel type based game like Phoenix wright and Professor Layton but this game is just...

 

[ShadowSoldier]

It's brutal. There's not enough gameplay in it. And a lot of the text, is pointless and shouldn't be in there.

"Lotus and Santa left the room, Junpei stayed behind." screen turns black, and you leave the room. IT'S POINTLESS!

I was thinking the exact same thing about Saw.

I am always amused when a VN gets a "mainstream" release and people rant about how it's not a real game when it never was intended to be to begin with. In this case, it's a VN with additional escape-the-room gameplay, and not the other way around.

 

[Hyborix3]

If anyone thinks this is similar to Time Hollow, well in my opinion time hollow wins

And I only solved like 1 puzzle before I conclude it sucks LOL. Too much TEXT

Okay nomore ranting with me, have fun you guys

It's a VISUAL NOVEL. Obviously, the whole point IS the story. If it's not your type of game, please don't bash it.

It's called having an opinion. Get over it.

And I like Visual Novel games. But there's a fine line between having the right amount of both, and over doing it with one. This game falls into the latter category.

Visual Novel games

So very amused.

And some people actually like the stories to have more intricate details. Or maybe I just love reading too much.

Why so serious???

 

[Zarcon]

It's a visual novel with gameplay.
It's not a game with visual novel aspects (Phoenix Wright/Time Hollow)

It's like complaining there's too much shooting in an FPS game.

In other words, this is a digital book with gameplay tossed in.

Like so many games with a shoddy story tacked on.

 

[Frogman]

So is this just a one off game or is it part of a series at all??

 

[Stephapanda]

It's just one game. There's no series that I know of.

 

[Frogman]

It's just one game. There's no series that I know of.

awesome will give it a go..

 

[maxmouse2008]

hmm, no patch for a cyclo I assume.

Oh well my R4 will be coming in the mail soon (I hope)

Actually I read visual novels for the heavy, walls of text,I mean it's practically a book/novel with the addition of some cgs,bgm and on some, cool extra stuff.It's what practically what Zarcon said,it's a visual novel with gameplay.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

I dont know.. maybe it's the type of v. novel it is. The other ones I played weren't THIS text heavy. Maybe I'll get used to it.

Even if I don't. I want to finish it because I want to know what happens to them.

That's because they (probably the Phoenix Wright series I imagine) weren't VNs. They were games with VN elements. The vast majority of VNs consist of text with accompanying background images and character sprites (and music), and the occasional choice that leads to more text. No gameplay elements at all.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

It wasn't Phoenix Wright, hate those games. It was some UMD that I installed on my PSP a while back.
