I just got my copy and the watch looks great, about to start the game in a few minutes.

Love 999 so much that I just bought a second copy of the game from PSN so i could play it this weekend and not worry about the save/crashing bugs on my 3DS copy.
ugh, feel like Aksys doesn't even deserve my money letting the game go out in the state it did

It's really up to you how you approach the different ending paths.
I initially started with the "Ally with Luna all the Time" path under the mistaken impression that it would be the shortest. Then the game decided to adjust the flowchart on me and
make it into a "To Be Continued" cliffhanger
Then, I decided to go into completist mode and finish all of the remaining paths under her flowchart.
I felt really bad about betraying her given that she's been such a pacifist (so far) in never voting betray when polled. Laura really lays the guilt on thick with her voice delivery so that you really feel like a schmuck for doing so afterwards.
Apart from a couple unresolved loose ends and one credit sequence that felt like an unresolved loose end (Dio),

You must have a heart murmur or something. You should get that looked at by a doctor.

As I start the game, I see a menu option named "Arch". Inside, it has different tabs of info. Where are the gold files stored so I know to avoid them, like Kagari said? Is it just the stuff under "File"?
Thanks!

They're in the Secrets tab. Just ignore those and feel free to look at everything else.
Is this a big issue? I'm still trying to decide which platform to purchase the game for.

So I'd say I'm about halfway done with the entire game and my biggest criticism by far is the puzzles. Some of them require some....abnormal leaps of logic. Retrospectively the solutions make sense, but that doesn't really account for much. I didn't have this hard of a time in 999 (although that might also be because it's a shorter game with a lot of the puzzle being repeats). I also find it annoying that with the puzzles I do have issues with, it's often the solution to the gold file that I get first rather than the solution to leave the room (should be the other way around 
).
My second critique is the music. I wish there was an option to boost the BGM; I think a lot of the atmosphere is lost because of the VA overshadowing it. That's not to say the VA is bad in any way, but it definitely produces a different effect than 999 did.

You could easily lose hours, like I did.
Even if you don't save in the PEC room, your game can still crash.
You can still use your file though, but again, it could be a bit of time wasted if you don't save all the time.
Also the game can also crash even when it's not related to the PEC room.
For instance, I had finished some sequence, saved and hit quit, and then I got kicked out of the game.
Thankfully nothing happened to my system or the save, so I don't think it's a big issue with this though, but I don't remember which sequence I saved after.
You don't save enough if you lose hours.
Didn't notice that thread, thanks. That makes my decision easy.
Well, it's never been a problem until that stupid PEC room.
I usually save after I complete a novel/puzzle sequence.
And I didn't know when the PEC room was coming up anyways, and since I had a lot of battery at the time, I figured I would've just gone through it, saved, and called it a day.
But no...

What do I do?
Edit: Nevermind. I think i realized what to do. I'm stupid.

on this stupid dice puzzle. I got the bookmark which landed me the gold file. I did the ink + music box thing too that gave me the string of die faces. I've lined them up exactly as shown and...nothing happened.

I've only done his, Clover's, and Tenmyouji's, and the latter is probably tied for being just as "o.0" once I put all the pieces together.
You've only seen the half of it.
Wait why do we want to ignore them

I'm redoing the Crew Quarters for the Gold Archive, and I found out you can type in phone numbers on the phone for little jokes...
I know 5309 and 6969 work. Anyone found anything else?

Some of them are given to you a little bit earlier than they ideally should. They can easily spoil plot points that you haven't been told before you got there.

The latter, haha. It definitely wouldn't be as bad if the files didn't have background pictures that you can usually use to link the characters with that the file itself is talking about.

My god the spoiler reactions in this thread have been glorious. The long wait to see everybody play VLR was totally worth it. Hahahaha.

Question about 999! Just got my first ending (spoilers).
Keep in mind I have not seen what is behind either of the #9 doors yet, so please don't spoil anything for me. I got stabbed by whoever stole Lotus's bracelet. Why is it significant at all that there are two #9 doors in the last room? Hasn't it been established throughout the game that the same door can be opened more than once? Such as the door Guy 9 exploded behind, and the door Snake exploded behind. I just don't understand Jumpy's thought process a lot of the time. Somewhat frustrating.
I should pull some choice quotes of mine between a friend who's played it as I was playing it.
The date the man was abducted.
You're missing a key if you can't open a locker. Did you get the one from under the elevator switch?
Once you find it, You can trace the lines that make up the 8 to form the password numbers using the clues you find.

Lame, got my copy in the mail today but no watch with it and never received the email saying I wouldn't get one. Really disappointed.
Oh,
you can't open the locked lockers on the upper floor, only the two on the basement floor with the pressurization room.
If you tap on any of the lines that make up the 8, you get a color. Trace the lines according to the colors given to you on the paper, and you'll get your password.

Maybe they'll be able to put out a patch. Really unfortunate for those on 3DS.
Speaking of... probably going to order my copy of that soon.

Man, that's really shitty.
3DS games get patched, right?

They can be, yeah.
Hardly ever log into GAF but just to spread the word: I received a game save corruption but under different circumstances than the PEC room. My game save was lost after saving during the room called the "Crew's Quarters" with partners being Alice and Phi. I saved to take a break because I was stuck on one of the puzzles, came back and was greeted with the black screen of nothing. So I would avoid saving in ANY puzzle rooms...
