I read the wiki. Whoops.

I'm never finishing 999, though, so bite me.

Oh yeah? Well I'm never finishing...uhh...my Pokemon Pokedex.

Reading a 999 synopsis on a wiki is like having someone describe art to you instead of seeing it for yourself. You're literally missing out on an amazing story and one of the greatest gaming experiences ever.

Oh right, I remember. You hated the puzzles just like ~~Wind~~ Haku. Maybe when the inferior iOS port without the puzzles comes out in English you'll give it another chance.

It wasn't just the puzzles though. I hated the story too. I spent the first three chapters bored out of my mind then quit because I couldn't take it anymore. Not to mention Tana helped over hype it beyond belief so the expectations I had going into it were far greater than what I actually played.

I don't understand how you could find the story boring when interesting stuff happens all the damn time, even outside of the mandatory endings. The 9th guy getting blown up, Snake going missing, the two mysterious bodies that were found, Seven and Lotus' past, Santa's Santa story, reminiscing with Akane, finding the gun, and of course all the crazy bad endings. I can understand if thrillers aren't your thing and you prefer a sappy love story, but to call the story boring is fucking nuts. I overhyped the game too which got ~~Wind~~ Haku to play it but even he eventually loved it.

Not sure if I would say "loved"...

Is "thoroughly enjoyed the story but merely tolerated the puzzles" more accurate?

There ya go

The only one I remember off the top of my head was the 9th Man getting blown up and even then that wasn't really interesting. Who the hell cares about a douchebag that literally appeared on screen five minutes ago?

Because it sets the tone for the rest of the game. If everyone doesn't work together they will all die.

Were you just distracted by Lotus' breasts the whole time?

The tone for the game was set before I even started playing it. Either way I still found it hard to care about anything that was going on.

And Lotus' breasts are lovely and all but I like her outfit a lot more. There were characters I was interested in, obviously, I just didn't give a flying fuck about the other seven people.

Hakudamashi · November 19, 2013, 06:30:23 AM

Huh, I'd think you'd at least give a sh*t about June...

Maybe you're just an uncaring person.

You're the only person I know who likes Lotus' outfit. I think that tells me all I need to know about your tastes.

I've never denied it.

It's really cute. Nothing I'd wear but still.

What are some examples of good visual novels in your opinion?

Hakudamashi · November 20, 2013, 04:10:26 PM

So
Betrayed Tenmyouji this time for sex, and didn't get it.
The rewinded back to when I went through the laboratory with Clover and Dio, which, much to my shock, is the only level soo far that had the character banter I've been asking for, actually got me to like Clover...
But then Dio had to be a colossal douchenozzle and took the cure to get me n' Clover to pick Ally.
While Sigma contemplates whether to kill himself or a small child, Phi read this journal that tells us about /^-6.

But anyway, I allyed Dio, he betrayed Sigma, now Sigma's gonna die, and nothing of value was lost. But I do like how while all of that was going on, noone seems to give a sh*t that Alice is missing, and she and K apparently betrayed Tenmyouji, who wasn't even there. It's like even the game doesn't give a f*ck about Alice.
