Brilliance in Gaming – 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors

Jae Lee writes: What if I told you that you actually didn’t know all that much about some of your old favorite games? Why it resonated with you so much or perhaps even what made them so great in the first place? What if there were some aspects in those very games that you took for granted, when in actuality they were flashes of brilliance in game design?

That is exactly what I’m telling you right now.

Don’t believe me? Read on and welcome to “Brilliance in Gaming.”

As is VLR. Can't wait for the third game.

WARNING: THIS ARTICLE SPOILS COMPLETELY UNRELATED GAMES.

Namely, Red Dead Redemption. Seriously, I don't think the statute of limitations has passed on that ending.

Well, it also spoils FF7, but you have to be living in a cave to not know what happens...

Really loving zero escape right now.

Playing VLR right now.

The dialogue and story is incredible. I heard about how great it is before, but I didn't expect this great!

Zero (the chinese looking rabbit thing) may be the most creepy thing in recent memory. Because he's not scary through looks or actions, but rather just speech, which is amazing.

Ans there are so many complicated paths and puzzles and endings and secrets.

I beat it a couple days ago (Got the Plat!) and it is amazing, I loved the game and waiting on part 3, and considering going back and getting 999 as well.

linkenski3940d ago

So basically. I've had 999 for years now, but i've never played it, mainly because the art style doesn't look all that appealing. Somebody, convince me why this game is better than other games alike, such as Hotel Dusk or Ace Attorney.

Or better yet, they should bring the two first games, pretend the third never happened and make it again with better writers who actually know the characters.As a big fan of the series, I couldn't believe how bad Zero Time Dilemma was not only with its writing, but also its messy game structure, unsatisfying conclusion, ignoring the greatest mystery of the second game, bad new characters, and an epilogue that's actually hidden and made by just some text.
[SPOILERS]
And let's not forget the addition of sudden alien technology shoehorned into the plot.
[/SPOILERS]

EDIT:
"and the final game in the series, Zero Time Dilemma, won our 2016 Game of the Year award"
Oh wow, now I'm truly questioning your site's taste. At least at some point in the article you recognized it's the weakest of the three.

CDbiggen1181d ago

I enjoyed the third, but I completely agree it was a bit of a let down. The characters were so weak.

Unknown_Gamer57941180d ago

Agreed. It would be perfect on the Switch. I especially loved Virtue's Last Reward.
