Popular Post maurowho Posted April 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2019 I got this game for free thanks to ps plus last year but I didn't play it immediately because it was a visual novel and it didn't look very appealing. But I finally decided to give it a try on a few days ago and I'm so glad that I did. This is without a doubt one of the best games that I have ever played. I've experienced so many great games before but Steins Gate is something else entirely. I laughed, I cried, I was at the edge of my chair many times. The voice acting is superb, every character is so well done that you want to care about them like if they're real people. There are a few alternate endings and a true ending and to get the true ending you have to get each ending. And getting all of them in one playthrough felt like the best way for me to experience the game properly. And the true ending really brought me to tears. It was a really satisfying ending. The game does start off a little bit slow but it does pick up half way through. So please play this game. You will honestly not regret it. It's absolutely worth your time 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQC93 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Well said my friend, now you should try Chaos;Child.. it's equally as good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapika96 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 It's not really a game though. The anime was fantastic, one of the best I've ever seen, but the "game" what a waste of time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos;Child has many many flaws that are not found in Steins;Gate. The end did blow my mind but it took a lot of time and reading before the story even got interesting. Except for the murders, the beginning is slow and boring. Chaos;Child is an interesting game in the sense that it gives you the opportunity to see what Steins;Gate's predecessor looks like and how well they evolved from that. @Kapika96 Steins;Gate is a VN and yes, it's a type of games even if you don't consider it like that. And I think it's not a waste of time and/or money, it's a real masterpiece and far more enjoyable than a lot of other games, regardless of their respective genre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirlruler Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 @madbuk Found another one! Yea, Steins;Gate is incredible. You should watch the anime too. Equally well done 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of them is perfect by any means, S;G has its own flaws as well. Like the one OP already mentioned it took some time before it actually start, C;C also take some time, but it hooked me up faster than S;G did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarciaFever Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 @maurowho Hmm I don't know if this is a "perfect game", however I do agree that this is one of the best visual novel games out there. But I can take this argument further and say that either Zero Escape: The Nonary Games, or even Clannad, are better than Steins;Gate in terms of story telling? Anyone here want to challenge?

Never played the Zero Escape games before but I've heard such great things about them. Steins Gate will always be a "perfect game" for me. I know that it's not the best game out there but its incredibly memorable and it hits you hard in the feels ? 2 hours ago, CQC93 said: Well said my friend, now you should try Chaos;Child.. it's equally as good I think I might give that one a try.

Heard that it's also pretty good If you liked the original this much you will like S;G 0 as well for sure so I'd say go for it. It basically tells the story of an alternate world line where Okarin gives up on saving Kurisu and the world is going towards ww3. 2 hours ago, GarciaFever said: But I can take this argument further and say that either Zero Escape: The Nonary Games, or even Clannad, are better than Steins;Gate in terms of story telling?

Not to mention If you think S;G starts how about clannad's completely pointless 10s of hours of slice of life shit and repeated jokes with that idiot sunohara...

The premise of 0 sounds pretty interesting and I'm glad that it follows an alternate timeline. I'm curious to see how the game is since Okarin became pretty depressed after not being able to save Kurisu for the 2nd time. And it's good that the sequel doesn't follow the actual last part of the true ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably one of the few who didn't really enjoy Zero Escape. I know people usually really like this series but I played both the Nonary Games and Zero Time Dilemma and neither of those made a great impact on me. I did like ZTD better dans NG though and I still have to try 999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaseemJohn Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) You should definitely check out the anime, one of the best out there in my opinion. Edited April 24, 2019 by NaseemJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much ignored Sunohara for most of the whole anime, and rather paid more attention to the relationship between Tomoya and Nagisa, especially during Clannad After Story. I got more of the feels from that one that I will ever get from playing Steins;Gate. If I were to go and watch said anime, then it might change, depending on how good it is.

Darpiom Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) I like drama and even some scrap of tragedy in all kinds of art, it makes the things more real always but isn't this game too sad, too heartbreaking? Even the fun moments along the way contributes the sorrow, when you reached any ending you see that. I am glad i spent money and time on Steins Gate (even bought my darling's embrace and 0) but now it raises a question in my mind... Does any game have a right to be this much sorrowful? ?? PS: I'm not giving into details to avoid spoilers but the players who played the game will see what I mean Edited May 24, 2020 by Darpiom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntatsi Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I want to get into this game so bad, everyone always talks about how great it is but no matter how many times I try I can't get invested. I don't usually like visual novels but Danganronpa 1/2 are two of the best games I've ever played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
