Not that most of you care, or probably even know of Steins;Gate, but...
I'm not usually one to push stuff-I-want-to-read back, especially when it's as hyped and given positive feedback as Steins;Gate, and when it's a VN that even I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it was being ported to the PC and looked forward to the release date of.
But this is how my desktop looks:

On the left, Steins;Gate
On the right,
this ungodly garble of a "walkthrough" also known as what appears to be a freaking presentation-like flow chart of like a billion things holy crap.
Ecael:
and well, only like
two real flags to worry about
every other route is just one obvious choice
lol
Honey, that thing is still scary.
Edit:
'course booting up my save from four months ago gives me:

Something like "[her? I dunno context anymore lol] powers must be something like Shining Finger"
Sigh, maybe I should start over.
Edit2:
Kinda turning into a facepalm play-through journal, but that's okay.
He explains how to write his "name," Hououin Kyouma (his actual name is Okabe Rintarou...)
鳳凰院凶真
HouOuIn KyouMa
Houou = phoenix
In = institute
Kyou = evil
Ma = truth
フェニックスの鳳凰に、院、そして凶悪なる真実、だ
"The phoenix houou, followed by in, and then the evil truth."
Edit:
Might be a "you gotta hear it" thing but

Where did you go!? Babnaaaaaaaaana! Bannaaaaaaaaaaaanaaaaaaa!
<3 Japanese people putting a bizarre accent on english words they already suck at pronouncing.

I've been waiting for the sequel for a while now. Too bad it won't be translated to english for a while 
I doubt too many people here can help with reading that forest of tree of routes there, as the second unofficial language isn't Japanese, but Korean.
I would assume there are multiple other translations online, waiting to be dug up though. Good luck with that.

I'm Japanese, it's all good o/
I'm just
slightly intimidated
orz
Also I just ran into Feiris (however it's romanized). I feel like she's even more f-ed up than the main character, yeesh.

Quite honestly, I don't think that flowchart seems too bad. The person that made it just did a pretty bad job of organizing it, and as a result, there's lines crisscrossing all over the place.
And at least you can read it. D:

Hahah, Ecael was like "there're only like five choices in the game"
then what the f is all that other stuf?
"oh, for the achievements"
WHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT *headdesk*

Well and the other funny little tidbits from the mails, I think I actually went through most of them myself since I had a lot of rereading that I had to do from not using walkthrough earlier.

It is decent, just a freaking ton of possible mail replies, Not many ways to make a picture be organized that much better.
and I think the 2 flags for true route are like 5parted and 7parted respectively, but individual routes is just a really obvious choice at end of chapter, so yeah. 12 choices at most?

The genius that put out a dissertation in "Science" (super esteemed research journal) at the tender age of 18... the super sadistic girl that picks on men in public settings... and alias, "The Zombie"...
I swear this MC might be more CNB than the MC from Chaos;Head but he sure cracks me up a lot more. And he's a lot more tolerable :|
Edit:
I won't forgive you, biiiiiiiiiiitch!
^-- in the Yagami Light voice.
Too funny.

Seriously how did you put this off for 4 months~
|
BECAUSE OF THAT FLOWCHART
You know how much I hate reading more than the "main plotline" of any VN :/ Treat them like books and such.
I feel like a cornered mouse now. Nothing else to do. School over. No motivation to play LoL. No VNs because freaking Type-Moon turned into hermits. Too early for PSP X-Mas releases. Omnomnom.
Edit:
Jokes aside I've probably opened this game and the flowchart once a week for 4 months, and it just turns me off every single time. I think you can see the flowchart file on my desktop for the last 3-4 monthly desktop threads.
|
Yeah I did, and I am always wondering wtf you are doing with it, so silly~
|
Steins;Gate... ever since I heard you 2 (Southlight and Ecael) talk about it in the Anime thread, about how it's supposed to get an anime, I put it on my "to check" VN list. I think in complexity, it reminds me of Chaos;Head (the flowchart, length, etc.) which turned out to be a pleasant experience.
Anyway, good luck, lol o/. Looks like a bitch to play through ;D

such a shame that I am too lazy to learn the kanji, VNs should only be written in Hiragana 
|
Almost done with chapter 5, I think. Also I'm up at 5am and I have work. YES.
So far my thoughts are as follow:
Okabe Rintarou (main char) is awesome; he's clever, thinks incredibly fast, and is all over the spectrum when it comes to how he acts. Very big props to Miyano Mamoru (Yagami Light [Death Note], Kida Masaomi [DRRR], Setsuna [Gundam 00], Death the Kid [I forget], etc.) for being able to run the gamut in terms of voicing. I was never particularly impressed by his voice acting in anime, but he's blowing me away in S;G.
The story's quite nice, I never got into C;G (mainly because of the main char) but S;G really started pulling me in relatively quickly. It's fast-paced and starts turning into an absolute mind-melter, reminds me of stuff like Baldr Sky and Ever 17. One of those stories you'll probably end up going through a second time just to pick up on subtle hints you missed before. Not a lot of books make me do that. This is looking like one of them. Quite a feat given how notoriously bad I am at re-reading stuff (to the point where I despise VNs that make you do multiple playthroughs).

Play Pokemon. Learn Kanji. Then come back to pokemon. Kanji is the best thing that ever happened to Japanese.
