Do I have to play 999 before this?
Throughly recommended that you do, I haven't finished VLR yet but my friend who completed it without playing 999 said that there were a few references. 999's a fantastic game so you should play it anyway
>do I have to play the first game in a story heavy series to understand its sequel?
Are you some kind of moron?

I have a Vita and not a 3DS.
I guess I could just watch a playthrough of 999, it's a VN after all.
>>321286343
Yes, you retard. Emulate 999.
>>321286643
999 is on DS, not 3DS, silly. You could emulate if you really wanted to.
Oh I think it also has an iOS port, but I don't know what that's like
>>321286643
Just emulate 999, doing the puzzles is the best part anyway.
>>321286343
Emulate it. you don't need to play it first but I highly recommend you do.
>>321286343
If you don't play it, then you'll never find out that Junpei was an old man the whole time in 999.
What do you guys think aboutSigma's new design?
>>321286343
You don't have to, but a lot of things in VLR make a whole lot more sense when you've beaten 999 first.

>you don't need to play it first
>You don't have to
What the fuck are you guys smoking? So many of the huge revelations in VLR only work if you played 999.
Hosoe confirmed to return in ZTD.
Fucking hype.
>>321287042
I'm okay with this, he looks more mature.
>>321287175
While this is true, he can still play and enjoy the game without having played 999 first. OP just won't get many of the references and relations between the characters.
>>321287273
Wonder ifOld Man Sigmasomehow has an effect on his look.
I want to play VLR, but man, i really hate that ai bunny thing. How prominent is it through the game?
>>321287363Now that i think about it it's the same pose that the one he does in the hologram
>>321287441
Have you played 999? If not, play that first.
Also fucking hell who cares about the bunny. In any casehe's only there for the first hour of the game or so.
>>321287441
He doesn't really play a large role at all once you start moving past the first couple of stages of the timeline.
>>321286343
I would say yes. The reveals throughout the game really tie in a ton to 999. It would be infinitely more interesting with knowledge of the first game. The series really feels like one big story, so you shouldn't skip any of it.
>>321286343
How long did it take you guys to realize Tend my Ougi was Junpei?
>>321287218
Fuck. Yes.
Can't wait for his new Morphogenetic Sorrow remix.

When he usedAkane's picture.
>>321287937
Not until the Q room talk with the old hag. I thought he was going to turn out to beSantaafter the director's office.
>>321286343l-lol?
>>321287042
I want togetfuckedthis Sigma
>>321286753
iOS port removed all the escape rooms and turns the game into a straight-up visual novel
>>321287441
He fucks off after the first few hours
>>321286343
I swear to god, sometimes I think people like you deserve to get the game spoiled
>>321286343
YOU DO NOT START READING HARRY POTTER AT THE 5TH BOOK.
YOU DO NOT START WATCHING THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY WITH THE END OF MOVIE 2.
YOU DO NOT START WATCHING THE MATRIX AT THE 3RD MOVIE.
So yes OP, it's highly, highly advisable you start the series with 999 as that's where everything began and sets up the reason for the existence VLR and subsequently ZTD.
>>321286343
It's definitely recommended.
You won't relate to some characters in Virtue's last reward otherwise.
Also the ending of Virtue's last reward will be a "what?" moment instead of an "Ohhhh!" moment.
>>321286343
Of course.
>>321286343
Fuck these stupid retarded threads.
>>321290867
Eh, I played 999 first and VLR's ending was still mostly a "what?" moment tbqhwy.
>>321289316
Thanks cunt. Figured I'd read the whole plot because of you. I'm never getting a 3DS or Vita anyway. The ending is just ridiculous
>>321287042
Preferred this Sigma
>>321290867
VLR has a pretty predictable ending
>>321291943
VLR isn't about the ending, it's about the atmosphere and sense of complete uncertainty along the way.
>>321292080
>VLR isn't about the ending
Okay
>>321287042
How do we know if that's Sigma or Kyle?
>>321292710
well, he is posed like zero/old sigma
>>321292063
This.
It's pretty much the insane ride going to the end that makes the game worth it.
For such a limited setting they pulled off an incredible amount of twists.
