I actually no pretty much nothing about the series. It's similar to AA in that it's mostly a visual novel with puzzles intertwined, right?

That wasn't meant for you (or anyone specifically), Ouro, you didn't have to edit :3 I just want him to be surprised.

edit:

There is the visual novel part, with mostly text as the story advances and at some points you'll be asked to make a decision, and some puzzle parts in between.

Pretty much. The puzzles are all "escape the room" type deals, reminiscent of old flash games. And the visual novel sections have choices here and there that are important.

I'd be sooo down for that.

Long Patrol/Badger themed or bust.

Also thanks to Burbs tease I went ahead and bought 999, it better not suck.

Good job on both accounts, the Long Patrol is truly the best and 999 is awesome too.

Ah thanks for the clarification people. I almost got the iOS version but it seems to be lacking the puzzle/gameplay aspects so I got the ds version to be delivered tomorrow.

Pro-tip 2: note puzzle solutions of rooms down somewhere so that you can quickly look them up if you want to. Trust me, you will be happy you did.

You won't regret it. It's an outstanding game. I think 999 is a bit better than VLR, but both are very good. Can't wait for the trailer for ZSD :D my special edition preorder is already secured too.

I enjoyed 999. The demo for the sequel was kind of off-putting, though. I'm not sure exactly what it was.
Click to expand...

Overall, I thought VLR was pretty...meh. I really didn't like the graphic style compared to 999 - deaths and the like always seemed so cartoony. Ambidex was cool, but based on the nature of the game and the routes you have to take, are largely inconsequential since the results are predetermined.

Great choice. Everybody talks about the stories of these games (and for good reason) but I'll always love the puzzles almost as much. They're an essential part of the experience.

wait, 999 on IOS doesn't have the puzzles? wtf is the point

Plotplotplot.

I think VLR works well enough on it's own, but the tonal difference to 999 does feel bit jarring, since 999 has much darker atmosphere, while VLR definitely goes for the more sci-fi route. Both approaches work, but as a series it's bit weird.

This is why I can't wait for ZTD. I missed that daaaaark atmosphere (with silly jokes interspersed in between of course).

Civil War Mafia would be awesome as a main season game. I think it might be the first role madness game we have hosted.

Well if we're gonna be off topic, any of you watch/read Liar Game or The Genius?
Click to expand...

It's not off-topic, Burb is running a game soon based on VLR! :p

I think Haly recommended The Genius to us a few OTs ago and I really meant to watch it but I never ended up doing it. It's on my list though.

To the uninitiated, Liar Game is a Japanese manga and live-action (fictional) show, The Genius is a rather shameless ripoff of the concept by Korea, but played 'for real' with a bunch of Korean celebrities.

Watched The Genius! Don't know how many times this has played in my head during some points of these mafia games. I really hope they do another season, it's awesome to see a reality show be more about the game than the drama between the people playing it. While we're at it, I'd love another season of The Mole.

I was disappointed when I found out it copied a lot from the Liar Game, lord knows they took a ton of music. Need to watch the Liar Game at some point though.

I've watched season 1, 3 and 4 of The Genius. I watch a a fair bit of Korean reality TV anyway, but this show is really fun to watch anyway! I love the opening too, it's so slick.

Yeah, when they are even copying the style of the music, it's just so obvious, haha.

I didn't watch all of Liar Game, but what I saw was pretty good. J-dramas can be so corny, though.

The Genius has pretty good production values, but it often felt staged...or just, the way they edit the show can be frustrating, with how they will casually skip over something that happened in the game just to make it seem more intriguing when they reveal it later.

The Iron Man movies have always been overrated, IMO. Iron Man 3 at least had that hilariously bizarre shot of the POTUS crucified in a robot suit, though.

I was on a Mole kick recently, and I tried out an episode of the dutch version (it seems to be one of the only countries still airing a version) it was interesting but it is difficult to read subtitles and follow the game/read people at the same time. Might give it another shot though. But I remember having my mind blown at the end of the first season I ever watched lol.

I did not expect a Princess hammer to come down that quickly. Good job fellow call center operators, busboys, janitors, elephant poop shovelers, daycare workers, and morlocks!

Oh, I meant Princesses. Yes, Princesses living the dream.
