The only way to prevent Radical 6 from happening is to send our consciousness back in time and prevent Zero Time Dilemma from coming out, so the mars test site disaster never happens. But can we make such a sacrifice

That would mean Luna wouldn't exist, and that is unacceptable. :colbert:

In VLR, does Junpei/Tenmyouji ever say that he participated in the Mars isolation experiment?

Yes. During his own ending path.

Six are supposed to die for the door to be opened. In the VLR timeline, it would seem to be Eric, Mila, Q, Carlos, Gab, and Zero. Right, wouldn't that work?

Fixed that for you.

Or if Akane is called by her last name, Kurashiki, to hide the fact that in some of the perspectives outside of Group C she's been replaced with Santa.

If that turns out to be Santa, I won't even know what to say.

I seriously want that "Actually, I'm Santa" line to be relevant again in some way, though.

Was excited for a bit that they were deemphasizing the stupid character design and then, no, girl with her boobs hanging out. :( C'mon, yall.

"Lady with Huge Chest" is a character archetype that has been in every ZE game. At the very least, the first was pretty cool and the second, while being Alice, was at least intelligent.

I wouldn't be too concerned about Mila. :)

Would the bomb have detonated in 999 if someone tried to cut off their left hand? If only that group had an experienced doctor or surgeon...

I'd cite the Axe Ending as proof that it wouldn't, but it's hard to say, given that only four people in the game were actually fitted with bombs and Junpei wasn't one of them.

Things were set up in general to let Ace be a terrible person. Of course, sometimes he was worse than other times, given that it's heavily implied that he is the one responsible for both Knife and Sub ending.

It was confirmed by the writer that he was.

In retrospect, it was really dumb for people to try and murder each other in 999

To be fair, in this case it was just Ace killing people, unless you trigger the Axe Ending. Which still results from Ace's actions.

Your Dunkle Sans posted:

Given the flashback to the original Nonary Game, I'd say Ace was an even worse murderous psychopath than Clover ever was. He was pretty crazy about letting kids die in an incinerator for the sake of science (and money).

To be fair, Snake seems to be just as :black101: as Clover when it comes to possible sibling murder.

She was included to solve the Myrmidon Code.

Which Sigma mostly solved without her help anyway. :v:

Looking through the LP Master List, I remember how one of the abandoned LPs was by a dude that was also really mad about the "good writing" review and didn't like the game. Good idea for him to try hate-LPing a game with a ton of text.

There's a guy on Metacritic who gave 999 a zero because "it's not a game, it's a visual novel." :v:

It wouldn't have been nearly so bad if they just focused immediately on escaping, THEN talked about "hey that dry ice reminded me of ice-9" once they got out of the freezer and had time to chitchat.

Hey, Akane was probably appreciative for the A/C after all of the heat she had to deal with. :v:

I'm not sure that ever really happens in an MGS game.

There's at least one point in MGS3 where Naked Snake (or someone) has set up bombs and Volgin launches into this huge speech about what the secret of the Philosopher's Legacy is, even though Snake has no idea what it is and isn't even looking for it. Naturally, someone ends up stealing it after his exposition.

Volgin is a smart villain.

We all like bad games sometimes.

My favorite part about the ending to Danganronpa 2 was realizing that I was correct in thinking that every character was an insufferable piece of poo poo. The writing was just awful, and virtually every female character existed just to be dumb or submissive to the guys, show off cartoon tits, or fall in provocative positions. It was like a fanfic written by someone that didn't understand what made the first game interesting and thought the writer and fat anime guy were the only good characters.

Ibuki was the best character. :colbert:

I wonder if the best ending will involve Akane dying. It'd be kind of ironic, given the plot of the first game, and it'd give Junpei some closure while also keeping with the recurring "he never got together with Akane" gutpunch that the series likes pulling.

Honestly, I play the games only for the stories (which I like a lot, yes) and just look up a guide to skip past the puzzles because I want to know what comes next.

I know, I'm scum. I'm going to try to do the puzzles for Zero Time Dilemma properly, though. :smith:

I can't wait for Mira to kill Eric and then spend the rest of the game stalking and trying to murder Q. And then she dies in a trap or something.

And then he dies, too, because Uchikoshi loves downer endings. :unsmigghh:
