not story spoiler but just some help on the gold folder in one of the early rooms

Spoiler

so im with clover and alice in the room with the food rations where you have make the acidic water etc and ive pretty much got the key to exit the room, but i reaaaaly want the secret folder too. I've got the sign with the message that says "the day the man was abducted" , i just dont understand what it means at all! is it an anagram? im fucking terrible at those lol, just a yes or no answer whether its anagram would be a great help!

 

[MyEpitomeCliché]

...sorry if this has been asked, but has anyone had their LE's (3DS) ship out from amazon? mine's still marked as "shipping soon"

Mine is still "not yet shipped", so consider yourself lucky. Then again, I did opt for free shipping, since I'm in no rush to play this. Hope that doesn't affect my eligibility on the watch.

I got my first ending:

Spoiler

I acquired a "coffin" ending last night after the finishing B. Garden. So, I decided to jump to the other route for Alice, and I betrayed her....Well. imagined my surprise when I saw she selected the ally choice. I completed the laboratory stage too (grrrrrr, math), so I have to play through that novel portion sometime today.

Sigma is still a kick-ass character. My favorite character interaction so far is his conversation with Phi about her being chestless. That part made me laugh so god damn hard; I might have woken up my sister because of the intensity of my laughter. Also, his constant flirting is a blast to read. He is this year's Stocke (i.e. this year's best character)

My copy status has changed to preparing to ship. Hopefully, I'll be playing my copy early next week.

Well, bought this yesterday, totally enjoying it so far. I've

Spoiler

Allied with Alice and bitch betrayed me! Then I didn't get to make any more choices before I hit a story lock, which I was not expecting. Then I went back to the AB game moment and picked betray and Alice picked ally and I'm not sure how to feel about that. I'm guessing/hoping that there's a good reason for her to somehow change her vote, despite being sealed off from the rest of the players and any outside influences. After playing 999, I know there's some telepath stuff that happens in the Zero Escape world, so maybe that has something to do with it. EDIT: Ha ha, I literally closed my DS at the results screen and now they're calling attention to the fact that I've done this before. Awesome.

I like the characters, but not all of the designs. Specifically Clover and Alice look like idiots. I like Alice's character, though, even if she totally betrayed me, that bitch. She's giving me reason to believe she's not a mummy.

Back to the game! Loving it. It grabbed me faster than 999 did, but that could be because this game already has my 999 love going in and 999 didn't have that the first time I played.

I'm finding it impossible not to highlight spoilers, so consider this another drive by post.

Fuck it, I can't wait for the EU release anymore, time to import. I see VGP is already out of stock... Anyone recommends another reliable online store that ships to Europe (more specific Belgium)? Amazon is not an option, those shipping fees are like 18€...

Also I can't think of Dio without thinking of this dude:

This was also my first thought when I saw the character profiles

[axisofweevils]

Don't know if this is new, but Rising Star Games' website lists the EU release dates:

UK and France release - 23rd November 2012
Germany and Italy release - 13th January 2013

http://www.risingstargames.com/game.aspx?sku=virtues-last-reward-3ds

So, just under a month before I play this.

escape is 18+33+40, file is 24+33+34 I think. I hated that one too.

 

[Koroviev]

Finally started playing this last night. I love the presentation, especially the Japanese VA. While I prefer environmental puzzles a la Ico, I'm doing okay so far.

yeah, the escape one was easy. the secondary one took quite a while aka educated guessing.

Augh, I hate that I have to select English every single time I start up.

While I prefer environmental puzzles a la Ico, I'm doing okay so far.

I've been playing adventure games quite often for about 6 or 7 years, but I will still get stuck running around rooms a dozen times before I realize you can click right under a spot somewhere or something. I blame it slightly on the Vita, but it is mostly my fault.

Btw [very early spoilers], did the

I thought it sounded like there wasn't one from the text, but I may have misread it...

I haven't had any issues with how the Vita version controls. Feels pretty responsive to me.

 

[podracer35]

People say the watch has a film over the LED or whatever, but I can't see it and can't get anything off of it. D:

It's there, and that's what made me think mine was all scratched up. If I pull it off, it'll likely look good as new! But it's tough to get a hold of it to pull it off!

If you can't see it, don't worry about it, it's extra protection.

The laptop doesn't seem interact able to that degree - just had a removable USB scanner and showed non-live feed or just a green T.

My vita version still hasn't shipped yet either. I'm not happy =/

Okay, give me a few. I'll see if I can find it again. That area was one of the early ones I did so I don't remember much of it outside of the root thing.

 

[Tagg9]

Anyone receive the game from Best Buy Canada yet?

 

[Dark Schala]

Haha, this thing totally got held up at the border cuz it only has English on it! Ah well, it's less scrunched up on the label cuz if it were bilingual, the print would be super-small. This is probably the fastest I've ever gotten an Aksys game in Canada and I didn't have to order from the States! I'm very happy with this launch.

Now to take a nap-nap before diving in.

Edit: I got mine from EB in the GTA, dunno if BB has it in yet. I had a pretty awesome conversation with the manager about Assassin's Creed III / AC3:L so I'm extra-hyped for next week. Need to get this done before then!

3 hours in, and after switching between the English and Japanese voices several times, my primary thought is: poor Europeans. You guys will be missing out on Zero III's fantastic English performance. (._. )

Did you open both lockers?

 

[zulux21]

yes I have, just got it a few min ago.

Yep. There were items in there necessary for the tree root puzzle.

Yeah I was kind of regretting my choice of going with the English cast until I heard a lot of Zero's dialogue. Really fantastic performance. Zero III reminds me a lot of Kefka and Fawful, and the voice acting only helps sell it even more.

 

[Kagari]

You have to get them ALL this time? Oh man, this is going to be brutal.

It's definitely not a chore, if that's what you're implying.

 

[TheGrue]

Do you get to go back to rooms and try for gold files? I think I know what to do for the file in the crew quarters, but I didn't get a chance to try before I was ushered out of there. I know the game mentions you can move back and forth through doors, but I want to be sure I can go back before saving again or I will just reload my old save.

Yes, but you'll need to solve the room again. When I finished the game I was still missing 6 of the gold files, so I had to go back and complete them. It wasn't too bad as I had still remembered how to cycle through most of the puzzles fairly quickly.

 

[corn_fest]

I was going to hold off on buying any games until I worked through my backlog (and I'm a year into it)... but this is seriously tempting me. I don't know why I'm even in this thread anymore, I don't want to get spoiled.

 

[thetrin]

seems only gamestop carries this game. asked the duder at best buy if it came in and he looked it up on wikipedia. he started browsing release dates by region and said us listings weren't there: 'jp- that's japan. na- not sure what that is'

Hahaha, what the hell? He seriously wasn't able to figure out what "NA" means? How do people like that remember to breathe?
