Going to buy VLR after school. If the store doesn't have it, then I'm getting Awakening.

Re: [Zero Escape] Saga
But... Isn't VLR a self-ripoff of Ever17?

Re: [Zero Escape] Saga
Rip-off, really? Just because it takes an element from VLR/999 doesn't make it a rip-off in the slightest. The gameplay and scenario is absolutely nothing alike. All it does is take the idea for VLR/999's framework, and if you're saying that THAT can't be reused in new and interesting ways, then logically VLR is nothing but a rip-off, too.Danielinhoni wrote:"No-one has to die", aka how to do a cheap rip-off AND a mixture of three great titles and get all the praise from people who know nothing about videogames xP

Anyway, yeah, I'd be shocked if the creator of that hasn't played 999/VLR, but, as Gunpei mentioned, is does do the story a bit differently. It's not the best, most original game ever, but it's just a flash game, and if nothing else it's an enjoyable 20 minutes.

Trufax, people. Not everything needs to be the best thing ever. Rip-offs are more akin to, say, The Asylum's mockbusters. Outright plagiarism is more akin to attempts at "comedic" movies from Seltzer and Friedberg (who, honestly, should be paying huge fines for plagiarism).

Re: [Zero Escape] Saga
...Huh? I know Uchikoshi wrote Ever17 and the two Zero Escape games, but I'm pretty sure Dan was calling no-one has to die the rip-off... which I'm also pretty sure Uchikoshi had nothing to do with ^^"Ami wrote:Yeah, actually, it's a spiritual successor.

Re: [Zero Escape] Saga
A misunderstanding. And even so, it's not like someone paid money for it. Or, to be more specific, it's not like any of us paid money for it.

Re: [Zero Escape] Saga
Don't get me wrong, it was kind of interesting of course; but it doesn't bring many new concepts if none at all compared to kotaros games. Not that it's a bad thing, people can quickly enjoy the storyline and concept, but seriously, I mean come ON Don't go saying it's not a rip-off when it comes to conceptS and setting xP A shame the other players dont know about 999/VLR/Ever17

I'm watching a LP of 999. It's so damn good. He just has finished the second ending.
