40 hours? That's pretty much as long as 999 was for me. I wasn't expecting less, though I knew it wouldn't go up to 50h.
So it's actually longer, if you don't count the time you had to repeat things in 999, amirite?

Which is unfortunate, because if that was available, I could have salvaged my corrupted save... you have to load the game to get to the timeline, since you can't just get to it from the main menu.

It's downloading right now, and I'll probably start playing it this evening (if I don't feel ill, live I've been the past few days :o).
And I understand how the 'replay to get all endings' thing works now. Indeed, if you don't have to pass through read text AND don't have to redo some puzzle rooms, VLR is indeed quite longer than 999.
That being said, I liked redoing some puzzles room when going for different endings in 999... though I admit, with 4 times as many endings, it would've been quite tedious in VLR, I think.
Anyway, only 10h or so before I start playing VLR. Let the slaughter begin

) for Christmas, as the price isn't likely to go down for a while.Now, you have to put a picture of the console everywhere in your house, always talk about the 3DS and VLR every time you're vising family (or family's visiting), buy yourself a 3DS t-shirt and wear it every single day till Christmas, etc... And I think your family will understand you want a 3DS and VLR for Christmas
I personally had the money to buy that stuff myself, but I know I would've loooooved getting a 3DS + VLR for Christmas.
I remember the only time I got a console for Christmas, that was the N64 in the early 2000. The child inside me still have fond memories of that night (even though I did go to buy it with my mother at the time :p).

But quite honestly... I strongly, VERY STRONGLY suggest you play 999 first. Why? Because it's an absolutely great game. Believe me, you won't regret this. And playing 999 (a DS game) before VLR (a 3DS/Vita), you won't be put off by the graphics after playing VLR (even though 999 looks quite great for a DS game, thanks Visual Novels :p).
999 is very, very hard to get in the Netherlands, so I feel his pain. Even play.com asks €60 for a used copy. I was quite lucky with my €40 deal.
Yeah! found a €38 deal on the first site you see when you type: 9 doors etc... kopen (dutch for buying). Started playing today in the train to work. My first impression of the game is that it's like Saw meets pretentious novel (instead of: I walked that way it's I was dragging my feet in an upward motion towards my intended goal...) but I'm digging it so far. I like challenges and I have a feeling the puzzels will get quite... challenging.

Nah, please don't compare 999 to Saw. One is just an attempt to attract teenagers with gratuitious violence, and the other is a finely crafted VN with a very interesting and complex plot, very well written and with great characters and puzzles too. That's my opinion at least ;)
As for the puzzles, they're not too hard in 999, dunno about VLR yet.

Well like I said it's only a first impression. I mean, waking up in a room and immediately solve a puzzle with your life on the line? Not in terms of violence, but in a matter of: solve puzzle --> remain alive --> obtain freedom at the end this reminded me of saw.
The game does seem to have great dialog between the characters though, and i'm very curious on how the story and the characters will develop during the game.[/quote]

Nooooooo! That's it, pre-order cance.... oh wait. I already downloaded VLR
Just kidding of course But yeah, I understand the comparison with Saw, I was just teasing you, Sjibbey (well, sort of
)I also had that impression when I first played the game, but it didn't last long. Let's just say that 999 does have some violence in it, but the writer really has made it meaningful and impactful, it's not stuff like 'hey, what about sawing that dude's arm? Come on, it'll be fun'
Ok, only 2h+ until I can play VLR, finally

How long does it take to download games off the E-Shop. O.o
I'm afraid I haven't a single clue. I started downloading by keeping the 3DS open next to me, then I switched to 'download while in sleep mode' for a bit. I'd say about 1h, but that's not really a good indication since I didn't check, and my internet connection wasn't that great (only 2 'jewels' at a time... you know, that funny-looking progress bar i really love :D), so it didn't download at full speed.
All I know that the game is about 3782 blocks, which is about 2GB. I believe the demo was somewhere around 1000 blocks. Sorry for not being able to be more specific on that one
Edit : oh, realised you were talking about games, not that game in particular (though I think you mean '3DS games', not downloadable titles like Fallblox). Answer: well, it depends. Some games are big (VLR, which is bigger than NSMB2 :p), some are a bit smaller (like Pilotwings Resort). VLR is the first retail game I actually bought the digital version of, instead of the retail one (because I wanted to get it on Day one :p), so I don't really know how fast it is. It's not too long, though for Wii U games which are several GB (like Tekken Tag Tournament 2, which is about 16.2GB, it does take a while to download.... like it would on PC or any other download service like Steam :)).

I really like how in 999 with some of the shocks its almost like "less is more" (sort of), with just a music cue or (sometimes graphic admittedly) description, it creeped me out :D
Agreed. More often than not, NOT showing something is infinitely more effective than showing the actual thing. If the most gruesome parts of the game were so impactful (the very first death, for example), that's precisely because they didn't show it directly (it would've been plain grotesque, imo).

Twice at least. Loving my 3DS <3
Okay; 'bout six hours on the game and I love it.
The Ally/Betray system adds that little tension on the game that the original 999 was missing IMO.
...Or then I just feel like it now that I've witnessed it. Either way; loving this.
I guess right now K is my favorite character. I just love his thinking and shocked poses. Sooooooooo cute!!
Also Phi is more interesting than I first thought, but...yeah...
And so far I don't like Sigma at all...He's more pervertic than...One or few perv jokes like in 999 is okay, but this guy just shoots 'em out like no tomorrow...
I laughed for the first few but now its like; "...Again...? ...Really...?"
And I also love Zero III at first I was thinking (trailers etc) that I wouldn't but...I just love that little guy. Ku-ku-ku-ku-ku-ku-ku-kuuuuuu!! (+ the puns)
But how's my game going really?
I decided to take the trip with Luna and Phi, ally and go with that....Yeeeeeah...Not the greatest way to start, since....the story lock...
After that I decided to betray and go with that after I realized you can skip directly to exact parts of the story.
I continued untill it was the room puzzle time and skipped again to the other part of the same betray; different room.
Why? Because I was thinking the right side, as the longest, is probably the true end part, so I'd hit another lock soon too...
So currently I'm running with leftmost way and going with it. Currently in the Lounge.
(Not bad for the first day I suppose...)
Okay; some things I have on mind on the characters; SPOILERS-possibly
Spoiler:
Iish, I'm writing in a hurry because I just wanna grab that 3DS again to continue playing, so sorry if this message is..odd...
I really put no thought on writing it; I just wrote stuff okay lol?! :P
Now if you'll excuse me...I'm gonna escape this place asap!!

We never really had this with 999, just a few sporadic first impression threads here and there after the initial release.

Indeed. I'm interested to read this stuff,
so it's bit disapointting when not that many people have the game yet...But...Sooooooon...!! It'll begin <3
Anyway;
Situ-ation-up-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate...!!
So I did play yesterday bit more and managed to get stuck into that room with robot (Luna & Alice)
Mostly because I was dead tired at that moment -> couldn't think straight and I had no idea what to do.
I'll continue in a minute though.
So...I got overthinking again in the left route and here's an (proporeably stupid) idea of the current events.
(contains spoiler info though rest is more like...crazy theorie. Also spoilers for original 999)
Spoiler:
That's all I have for now. I come make another update as the game progress's.
Now I'm off to beat that damn robotic clinic...!!
Oh...One more thing though...It might be just that I'm hyped for this game right now (got it yesterday lol but still)
I'm happy that we seem to get the 999-3 too. I just went to wikipedia to read stuff from this game and this hit my eye;
"Sequel - Kotaro Uchikoshi recently revealed in an interview with Nintendo Power that a sequel to Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward is currently in development"
Somebody confirm if this is true or bs, but if true...I freaking love them. <3

(glad the 999-3 is true though <3)
God dagnit!! I played trough the leftmost ally way and...yeah. Got only To be Continueds or Game Overs...
Luna Game Over, K Game Over, Warehouse B lock, Directors office lock...Just god dangit!!
So I googled a little and...I'm suposed to get Clover Ending first? (or cheat and look things online lol...Not gonna happen though.)
Hhhhh....Now entering the Yellow door with Phi & Tenmyoji...Let's see if this works this time...
Mind if I add; at first I thought that these To be Continueds were stupid, might be because they remind me of Coffin ending from 999, but...oh well....
Now I kinda see their point. Sure; it breaks the moment, but...This is the best way IMO.
And granted; the Game Over screens I went because...well...game completion.
I knew that
Spoiler:
Anyway; what's on my mind right now from the current events?
Spoiler:
Just wanting to tell I began to Like Sigma though. During this route he has been more likable and...just shown some heroic qualities too.
So yeah...Maybe we started on wrong foot or something but....I like him now. A bit...Though K is still my favorite!! :D
Ne, ne...I guess I'll continue again.
I keep you guys up on the score again tomorrow.
Just one more thing...It's about those spoiler tags ya guys posted now...Can I read them or will I spoil myself from the point I'm now?
Thanks before hand.
See ya guys tomo ~ orrow.

I'm pretty sure it'll take way more than 40h for me to complete everything at this rate.... or it's just that the left most path is the longest?
Since I'm too lazy to write my full impressions, I'm just gonna make a bullet-point list :p
- is it me, or deaths feel incredibly underwhelming compared to 999?
- lol @ 5 letter words taking 15s to appear completely due to the discrepancy between the original japanese dub and the subtitles :p
- ally/betray system is really cool, though I can't really bring myself to betray anyone... especially not Luna/Phi (never had to vote against her anyway), or even Clover (yes I know what you did to me in 999, twice iirc, but it's forgiven). Now, Dio... I'll have a hard time NOT chosing betray for him
- did we really need to be explained stuff 3 times in a row? Like, 1st by the rat AI, then by Junp... errr Sigma's summary, then by Phi/random character. It happens several times in the game too. Guess the write really wanted to us to understand stuff, didn't he? :p
Spoiler: Nyahahahaha
- Sigma petting a bunch of rope :p
- so the characters DO say stuff on Hard Mode (Escape sections), reading Alktolto and co., I thought they didn't say squat from the moment you start searching
- blablabla
Funny things, I've had to use a walkthrough for pretty much every single Escape section, but only for the most mundane stuff, and only once for the actual solution. An example, in the Lounge
Spoiler:
Or, take the Golem bay (or whatever it's called').
I had all the stuff, understood perfectly what to do to get the passwords... but I tried for like 30mn, and I simply couldn't find them. Like, even after reading the solution, I couldn't 'recreate' the passwords in game o_O
Spoiler:
Does anyone have a diagram/picture showing how to solve that puzzle? Cause I really, really felt stupid on that one. How frustrating it was
