Fedule posted:VLR OST: [Sinisterness] When I played 999, I was never really disturbed by the stuff it presented, even the very graphic descriptions of the exploded corpses or murder scenes. VLR, on the other hand, did a fantastic job of creeping me the hell out, partly with the setting we find ourselves in, but mainly due to the music. Both these tracks, Sinisterness and Eeriness, convey a sense of something being seriously wrong in a way that the music in 999 didn't. Made playing the game late at night a much more nerve-wracking experience, for me at least.

Fedule posted:VLR OST: [Consternation] Yet another track on the OST that, combined with the setting, was remarkably effective at sending chills down my spine. It's not so bad after it gets going, but that first 20 seconds or so just creeps me the hell out. For me, the music in this game was far more disturbing than the gory explosion descriptions from 999.

might be wrong posted:Literally all I get from her so far is that she's a meek, 'nice' character. The only reason she's interesting so far is because people in the thread are practically holding up signs saying 'Guess what she's gonna be GREAT.' ApplesandOranges posted:Seriously, it's actually getting annoying. "HEY GUYS WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE" It would be nice if the people who have already beaten the game and are participating in the voting would just vote and leave it at that. You don't need to justify your votes, and I'm pretty sure the people who haven't played before (and maybe even some of the people who have played before) don't really care why you're trying to railroad the LP in a particular direction.

It's moments like this that make it a crime Sigma's not voiced in the game. Hearing Troy Baker's delivery on this would have been the best thing.

The sad part about getting all the optional hint dialogue is that you miss out on an amusing reaction from Sigma if you can solve the 120V minigame without assistance.

No, this is not going to be like last time where I want to Ireland for a week and ended up almost getting my Path of Radiance LP archived - I'll be back in a week (no open returns this time!), after which it's back to work. It's been two weeks and no word from Fedule. I think Clover got to him.

I'm fairly sure you're at least allowed to mention the name of the show, provided you don't actually discuss anything relevant to it. But on the off chance I'm wrong, here's a link to an SAclopedia article about it and why it's forbidden to talk about on SA. http://forums.somethingawful.com/dictionary.php?act=3&topicid=2338

I just did a quick GIS for "Virtue's Last Reward Alice Cosplay" and "Virtue's Last Reward Cosplay". Neither one turned up any images of Alice cosplayers. Lots of Clovers, Sigmas, Phis, a few Dios and Lunas and a Quark or two. Even some Zero IIIs. But no Alices.

lotus circle posted:See this is the trick the game plays. Even if you know Luna won't betray you after seeing what happens when you ally with her, you need to betray her at some point to get full completion. It's even worse when you have a vita and you want that drat platinum trophy. I'm with you. Picking Betray always made me feel like a complete shitheel. There was one time, when I first started playing, when I did it and thought I wouldn't have to feel bad about it... and then the game made me feel bad about it anyway.

As I'm reading it, theshim's problem is this: 1) In order for the events of 999 to take place, Past!Akane must survive the Nonary Game on the Gigantic. 2) In order for Past!Akane to survive the Nonary Game on the Gigantic, Junpei must follow the Coffin/True Route. 3) If Junpei does not follow the Coffin/True Route, Past!Akane dies in the Noary Game on the Gigantic. 4) If Past!Akane dies in the Nonary Game on the Gigantic, it's impossible for her to be present during the events of 999. 5) If Akane isn't present to set up and run the events of 999, then it's impossible for her to save herself in the past. 6) TIME PARADOX. Causality divides itself by zero and the universe ceases to exist. Essentially, if at any time Junpei deviates from the following set of choices code:Is that correct, theshim?

Switching gears for a moment, let's check out the current results of the poll: Go through the Yellow Door with Tenmyoji - 109 votes Betray Luna in the second AB Game - 93 votes Go through the Cyan Door with Alice - 87 votes Go through the Blue Door with K - 35 votes Betray Luna in the first AB Game - 28 votes Go through the Red Door with Clover - 22 votes I'm kind of surprised that not many people seem to want to hang out with K. I'm not really surprised that nobody seems to want to hang out with Clover.

Have I mentioned recently how much Consternation creeps me the gently caress out? Having a little kid screaming at the top of his lungs for you to kill him doesn't help. Once again, this game is fantastic when it comes to using music to set the atmosphere of a scene.

Aumanor posted:So, now that Dio's gone and killed us(HUGE TWIST!!!), I'm really curious as to the workings of the goonmind. How many of you who voted ally actually expected Dio not to betray? How many of you have already played through the game and just wanted to force this particular outcome? Do you think you could make a quick pol on the side, Fedule? There's really no need for that, given that the whole point of the off-site polling to begin with was so that the thread wouldn't be cluttered up with tons of vote posts and justifications behind them.

DarkHamsterlord posted:I thought the point was to prevent a flood of posts that are just Sentient Data posted:For a game like this, the experience of the LP isn't limited to just the game itself - the off-site voting makes things a hell of a lot easier to count the votes and stop a flood of 3-word posts, but a huge chunk of why I (and I'm assuming most of the thread) keep coming back is the interaction of the readers. Justifications and speculations that vary so widely add tons of depth to the LP, and if you step back it can even give a sense of how conflicted the inner workings of Siggy's mind could actually be. Fair enough. I was mainly under the impression it was to curtail justification posts because it also would curtail the posts from people complaining about how the people who've played the game before and thus already know what's going to happen are unfairly influencing the direction the LP goes. But I suppose that was a mistaken assumption on my part. That said, I still don't think it's necessary for Fedule to make another off-site poll just to indulge someone's curiosity.

Pringles Monster posted:That AED won't work on Sigma since he'd suffocate from respiratory paralysis instead. The AED would only work if he somehow develops a ventricular fibrillation or tachycardia. I think what they meant was figure out a way to stop Sigma's heart so that the bracelet could be removed before he's injected with the tubocurarine, then use the AED to jump start it again once the bracelet's off.

Zoe posted:Allying non-stop really is a simple solution that's in everyone's best interests, too bad we're never going to see any of these characters take advantage of the ample amounts of time they have to sit down and rationally discuss that as a strategy, too busy splitting up constantly and murdering each other. That's the beauty of the whole set up, though, don't you see? They don't know what the AB Game entails until they play it the first time. They don't find out the penalty for dropping to 0 BP or less until after the first set of results is announced. Then the colors and pair assignments are shuffled around and they have X amount of time to do whatever until the next set of Chromatic Doors open. But why would they discuss optimal strategy for playing the AB game and saving everyone when playing the AB game is what Zero wants them to do? No, clearly we should use this time to investigate and see if Zero overlooked another way out, even though we were explicitly told that the number 9 door is the only way out! Screw doing what Zero wants us to do! You can't control us, man! Oh yeah, and speaking of Zero, the rabbit already told us that one of the nine players is secretly Zero, so clearly that means we can't trust you enough to reveal anything useful to you! After all, you might secretly be Zero! And that's not even factoring possible bad blood resulting from betrayals in the first round of the AB Game.

Perhaps whoever was in charge of localization figured that the majority of the English speaking audience wouldn't know what a Biotope was, but would know what a Botanical Garden is. Hell, until it was brought up in this thread, I'd never even heard the word "Biotope" before in my life.
