    Welcome!

    Programming can be fun, but it's also a pain in the neck for me

    Don't worry about your apparent coldness, I have the same problem

    See you around

    You're not fooling anyone here Arc.

    Anyway, Welcome to the community Listless, feel free to ask any questions you may have. 

    Can reviews be objective?

    Ultimately a review is the subjective opinion of the person reviewing it. However, certain elements of that review can be objective. For example; saying the micro-transactions are invasive and in your face when reminders of them show up all the time in the pause menu can be something everyone agree i an objective statement. this could also apply to more subjective areas such as story, like saying the ending of the game is pure sequel-baiting and doesn't conclude the story.

    Honestly, what a silly reason to drop a VN, though in your case that was the final nail in the coffin eh? :sachi:

    Wow, guess you'll be one of the < 100 people out of 3000+ that give S;G a < 7 VNDB score. Damn hipsters

     

    It's not so much Suzuha's ending, it's more just my lack of motivation to continue it at this point combined with you guys telling me how much better S;G gets after chapter 5 only to get an ending that wasn't what you hyped up, and if you want me to like it then that's probably a good thing right? Better I come back to it later with an cleared head and a desire to see the ending, rather than now where I have absolutely no motivation and playing it just feels like work.

    I honestly can't stress this enough, but I like 90% of Steins;Gate. The problem is that the 10% I don't like (the protagonist and the plot) are, in my opinion, the two most crucial elements to a visual novel. At this point I'm sure I'm sounding like a broken record to you guys at this point, but no matter how great the 90% may be, the parts that it fails are the parts that always bug me. I want to look past these faults, I really do (if nothing else it would stop me being the most hated member of Fuwanovel) but the ratio of fun/frustration as not been kind to Steins;Gate.

    I know I can just skip text and in about 30 minutes I'll be back to where I was and I can continue onto the true route(s?) but I can't even really find the enthusiasm to do that.

    It's not the art style you should be worrying about.

    @Nimbus, in case you haven't figured it out yet, you need to intentionally pull out the phone and send a D-Mail (at that point in time where he's saying he has to do it, even though he doesn't want to) to move on to the next chapter, instead of going down Suzuha's route. I was confused as well, the first time I finished a route, and almost went and played the whole game again (which is completely unnecessary until you are ready to go for the True End).

    Spoiler

    Welp, because I didn't anticipate this, and due to my force of habit to have only one save (i usually use walkthroughs so multiple saves per-route is unnecessary) my last save is AFTER this point. meaning if I want to continue I have to play the whole thing again. and to that I have just this to say.

    Fuck

    Off

    If I can't go back in the one file I'm going to (temporarily) drop this game and move onto pastures new. A pity really, Okabe was becoming less insufferable and the story was getting a lot more interesting. But the idea of going through the whole thing, even with the skip feature, added with Suzuha's quite frankly anticlimactic ending have just killed all motivation I had for this vn.

    I don't know if what I want to say constitutes as spoilers, or even if I'm correct in what I'm saying, but what you say keeps making me think you're looking at Okabe in entirely the wrong light. Or maybe I'm the one who's confused.

    Maybe someone else who's already finished can tell me if it's spoilers, or if I'm just plain wrong.

    Why do you say Okabe's a scientist?
    Okabe is your average college student with a rather heavy case of chuunibyou. He fools around with his friends, the lab members, living a joyous normal life. He just happens to have a scientist's curiosity. I'll give you that much.

    At least, this is how I've always seen him.

     

    Spoiler

    The reason why I judged him as a scientist was because this game has very scientific themes, he understands theoretical physics (to the point where he can stump Kurisu, a genius girl) and because he does to a little inventing. Granted, what he makes isn't all that sciency but it would still require some degree of knowledge.

    So I just finished Suzuha's route (I think)...

    Spoiler

    I'm hesitant to give my thoughts here until I figure out how the endings work (I recall someone saying there were 10 chapters but I finished at chapter 6) and all that, but for now I will say that the game, against all odds, did make Okabe somewhat likable in the end. I'm still ticked off that I had to put up with Prick-Okabe for 5/6 chapters but I assume it's better in other routes.
