InvertMouse Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Pretty tempted to pick this one up on the Vita man. Anyone else getting the game, or has already started and has thoughts to share ? Quote
Soulless Watcher Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 I considered getting it, but than I saw the vndb rating was a bit low and that it was pretty short. Probably just wait and buy Steins;Gate 0 instead. Quote
Eclipsed Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Winterfuryzx played it, didn't really give thoughts on it, and said it's <20 hours long getting 2/5 ends because the rest are not worth getting / are BS. Dunno how much extra read time you can get going for other routes , though one spoiler free review I read said ~50 hrs ?? My main dealbreaker is that Root Letter's supposedly not that long so $40 for it is just ewww, rather spend it on S;G0 comin 'round the corner The premise is indeed interesting though. Probably will get it when it goes on sale Quote
Novel21 Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 I have buy and I don't regret buying it. I enjoy play the game very much Quote

Probably will get it when it goes on sale Copy&Past: I finished the game, took me around 15 hrs to finish all routes i think. The main issue I have with this game is that the routes are completely different stories, even if they shares the same lines for almost the entirety of chapters 1 to 8, the endings and the events leading to the beginning of the game are completely different from route to route, some character roles and personality included. I didn't like this solution at all, the story is extremely and pointlessly fragmented. I have to praise the character design and the detailed (and many) backgrounds, this game deserves to be played for its artistic merits alone, the production value is top notch. I just cant cut& paste everything in 200 different threads. Basically the the side routes are handled (MUCH) worse than g-senjo no maou, the true route is the 5th but it is completely disconnected from the others, and the 2nd is the only decent sideroute .

InvertMouse Posted November 9, 2016 Author Posted November 9, 2016 Nice, thanks for the info . For me, hearing a game is on the short side actually increases my interest for it. It means it won't be filled with padding, and I only sneak in gaming hours whenever I can, so I like to have titles that I know I have a good chance of finishing. Thanks for your review as well WinterfuryZX. 15 hours is fine with me, though the fragmented story points are always a bit scary. Happy to maybe give it a go though. Quote

Short and 10 bucks I'd be insta-sold too Good luck! let us know how you think of it! Quote
WinterfuryZX Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 I strongly suggest to mentally prepare for the high amount of trash in the siderutes before purchasing this game. There's not much useless sol but the first 5 chapters are repetitive as hell, before the story starts getting interesting you have to discover the identity of the majority of Aya's classmates, and this will be a taxing task.

Basileus777 Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 How is the localization? I've heard some negative things about the quality of the translation. Quote

Steins Gate has been on the Vita for awhile now and the sequel Steins Gate 0 will come out on the vita the same time as the ps4 version. Nandemonai 1 Quote

Well, it isn't like they are selling physical copies at the local gamestop or advertising them on the psn network next to whatever FPS is popular nowadays. So, I don't really blame you for not knowing about it. Quote

I still feel kinda out of place, everyone knows so much about anime, manga, VN's and all that kind of stuff and I just got into it a few months ago. Quote

I have completed one route and it was okay, nothing more -nothing less. The music was EXTREMELY repetetive and "MAX MODE" felt..uhm.. pointless? But I am wondering what routes you think are worth playing? Spoiler I finished the route where Aya had "faked" suicide and went to Africa (wtf?) Is this one of the worse endings? Is athere a "true route"? I really want to unlock the trophies but if they routes are that weirdly made..... hm.. Edited November 27, 2016 by Nuka Quote

If you always choose the first option you'll get the 1st route, if you always choose the second option you'll get the 2nd route and so on.. Now, after the 1st playtrough, you should have unlocked 4th and 5th reply, if you always choose the 5th you get the true end. Quote

Spoiler I've heared that some endings is about Aya being a ghost? I definetley do NOT care to do that one. I also found the "went to nurse in Africa yesterday" ending a bit crappy So the route i played was 1 of the two readworthy? Thanks. Quote
WinterfuryZX Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 Yeah, there are 2 routes in particular that are extremely trashy and full of BS. Quote

WinterfuryZX Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Cursed letter: Aya was cursed, all her frends starts dying one after aother, you try to stop the curse but eventually it hits you and you die, the end. Government cover up: Aya is revealed to be an alien, some friggin' goverment men in black are trying to delete records of her presence from tbe world, you'll be eventually kidnapped by the restaurant cook, who is revaled to be an evil conspirator tied to the evil government, you try to escape but you fail, the end.
