@AndrewB: Just completed Remember11 today and it's definitely a unique experience. I was hooked to the VN genre after playing 999 which led me to Ever17 and then to Remember11 through the GiantBomb wikis. Thanks for letting duders like me know about this game.

As much as I enjoyed playing Remember11, it does a poor job from a storytelling perspective. Yes the story is brilliant but requires extensive extracurricular reading in the TIPS (codec) section to understand everything.

I feel that Ever17 is the better of the two infinity games that I've played. Ever17's had a story that was more complete. Remember11 has the better setting, characters and sci-fi elements but it ends with too many questions and too little answers.

EDIT: also when you say you beat Ever17 did you really, theres like 120 hours in that thing.

The 100+ hours gameplay for Ever17's wiki is exaggerated. I can only imagine that happening if you decide to read every single scene (even those you watched before) and decide to play from beginning to end for each playthrough. In Ever17 you can skip dialog you already read like in 999 and you can also skip entire chapters you already played.

That said, the game is still long. It took me around 60 hrs to complete all the good endings. I watched the bad endings on YouTube.

To give some context, I played 999 after Patrick was hyping the shit out of this game in one of the Bombcasts. I completed 999 with all the endings and the game blew my expectations. After that, I did some post-game research to learn about what others had to say about the true ending and discovered that 999 was a spiritual successor to Uchikoshi's Ever 17. I completed Ever 17 and noticed some similar plot devices used in both games.

Learning about this diluted my appreciation for 999. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience? Or maybe this is what a spiritual successor is supposed to do. I still haven't gotten a chance to play Remember 11 (the next game after Ever 17) and VLR (the next game after 999) so maybe completing those games would change my mind.

This game is what Family Guy did to cartoons.

So far I have endings 3, 5 and 6, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the other endings. I don't want to search around the net, as I don't want the other endings spoiled, I just want some really slight hints to nudge me in the right direction (replaying the game over and over is starting to drive me insane).

My thoughts were to try out various combinations of rooms, but from what I can tell, the ending seem to only relate to the final room that you end up in. Beyond that, I tried giving the clover bookmark to Clover, then talking with her again later; but that didn't seem to actually change anything.

I'm assuming that some combination of choices may lead to something, but most of the choices seem pretty inconsequential. There's also a locked safe behind door 5, which seems like it may possibly hold something, or is it just a red herring?

Thanks.

I'm a bit too late to the party, but if you're still stuck on finding the last 3 endings here are a couple of hints. I'll be deliberately vague.

• There are five real endings and one fake ending.
• The safe is important to the story.
• Different combinations of rooms do matter.

Tried it yesterday for about two hours, never got it. I then looked up a tutorial video and slept on it. Somehow the jumping skills of the person in that video seeped into my head and I got it today.

I would definitely recommend people who haven't done it yet watch a video of someone scaling the tower rather than trying to grind it out. There's subtle things you learn, like which platforms to jump on and which platforms you can skip.

That said, I have no desire to ever do that again. Also fuck Charr and Norn players, I couldn't see my poor little asura behind their giant asses. I think I fell on the first platform jump like 30 times because of them.

Pick FES if you care about story

Pick P3P if you care about gameplay.

Not sure if many people here are interested in politics, but I thought this was hilarious and worthy of mention.

The Gregory Brothers present a video game-inspired musical mash-up of President Obama and Mitt Romney's speeches from the recent nominating conventions.

I'm level 50 too, but not experiencing the same GW2 burnout.

Like you mentioned, it's probably about playing habits. I have a tendency to wander around even if there aren't any vistas, skill points or poi's to obtain. I also only play on weekends which makes the game feel fresh every time I start it up. I'm not sure what will happen once I explore the whole world, maybe it'll get stale for me then.

Trying the same right now with a lvl 3 memser. I had a real hard time learning weapon skills, so I had to cheat a bit and learn them in PvE.
