The Free Gaming Thread v3: Check Out Cosmyk's Mustache

[RepentantSky]

So I just finished 999. And I mean finished. Played the game 5 times to get the right ending, and the final part was interesting and I enjoyed how it was handled, but holy shit the final puzzle was dumb.

Spoiler

It was Sudoku. Just Sudoku. A pretty simple one at that, and everyone was acting like it was the hardest puzzle in the world and impossible to solve. Sure, there was 6 minutes to solve it before the time went out but since the game would instantly recognise if you got a square correct, you could solve half of it and just guess the other half. Along with no ACTUAL time limit, the 6 minutes were just game time. You had as much time as you needed, it was just really easy to solve and understand

Also, the ages of some of these people were weird. June was 21, and I'm assuming Junpei was as well. Even though they looked no more than 16. Clover was 18 even though she looked like she was 11. And the 9th man was like 40 even though he looked like he was in his 20's.

There are still unanswered questions, and I don't know where I'm going to find them without spoilers. I was already spoiled on something just by trying to find out June's age. So I'm not going to check for more.

999 doesn't answer all the questions of the series because Virtue's Last Reward and Zero Time Dilemma finish those off. Seeing all the endings will help if you want to just watch them since you beat it already, but you really have to play, or watch someone play the other two and see all the endings to understand everything. I've only just started on Zero Time Dilemma myself but man, if you liked the first one, the other two are well worth it.
