Who else is excited about Zero Escape 3?
For those who are curious what that is:
Zero Escape is hard to place in one genre:
It's a visual novel with puzzles and horror;
But it's psychological rather than gory,
And the narrative is beautiful, as is the story.
Play through multiple ends: you can't win in one [go]
And when you get the True End, it's a total mindblow
That was a shitty, 5-minute poem, but you get the idea. I love puzzle games, and I enjoy a little psychological horror, but it's the way this story unfolds and pieces come together in a crazy twist that is wonderful... The second installment (Virtue's Last Reward) is actually full of crazy twists. While that is really fun, it does come off as a bit commercialized. Even though I love the lead female character in VLR, I would say that the first installment of Zero Escape (Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors) is my favorite. Probably my favorite game of all time, or at least in the top 3. (Oh! And just FYI, you should play 999 on the DS if you can. The next two games are/will be for 3DS or PS Vita, and there are/should be pros and cons to each console.)
Initially, the developers had cut the funding, so it was really exciting when Zero Escape 3 was announced on July 3 to be released next summer! The previous game really led up to this one, so it's going to be exciting... For a while, it was even voted as the most anticipated game of 2015.
Anyway, feel free to rant about this game, using spoiler tags whenever necessary, or maybe just use this thread to ask why Zero Escape games are worth your money.
