>There are people in 2025 that still haven't played Steins;Gate yet
Well? What's your excuse?

im not a gay tranime pedo so i don't need to waste my time "playing" a visual novel

>>718040236 (OP)
I already read this masterpiece though.

VNs are garbage
Read an actual book pathetic chigyu faggot

>>718040236 (OP)
Why do VNs never make characters as good as Okabe or Kurisu anymore?

>google it
tf would i waste time with some 2011 unc shit tranime crap

>>718040236 (OP)
I watched the anime. That's good enough for me.

>>718040236 (OP)
>50 hours of reading

>>718040357
Filtered from a good story by a trap (which is an oldfag thing by the way, not something you /pol/ tourists would understand). Never change nu-/v/.

>>718040236 (OP)
I watched the anime.

>>718040236 (OP)
I already watched and it was mid.

>>718040267
So you're just going to miss out on an entire genre of games because of your shitty bias?

From what I gather the anime is a great adaptation of the original. Meanwhile, the Steins Gate 0 anime changed/skipped important stuff. How true is that?

>>718040236 (OP)
When are they gonna show Reboot? Should I just read the og or wait on reboot

>>718040367
All VN writers care about anymore is moege Yuzusoft crap with no story.

>>718040308
The one OP posted is the opposite of garbage, but you wouldn't know because you didn't even play it.

>>718040236 (OP)
>time travel

I would replay it but I know it's going to give me a mix of waifufagging depression and a hole in my heart knowing I just played the game of the generation and nothing else will remotely compare.

>>718040236 (OP)
I dropped it because everyone in the story was annoying.

>>718041146
Maybe you should read it before judging first retard.

>>718041249
Why do leftrooncels hate real women do much

>>718040439
>Is it worth it?
Yes, absolutely. It goes on sale for cheap too these days on Steam and it's a great read.

>>718041456
A perfect storm of retarded /pol/fagging, ESL, and buzzwords.

>>718040236 (OP)
This is the most overrated visual novel I ever read, fuck you people for shilling this so much.

>>718040236 (OP)
i got to the point where they raid the lab and got bored started reading something else
watched the anime many years ago
its pretty boring compared to other vns

>>718040236 (OP)
I already watch the anime.

>>718040236 (OP)
It’s boring as fuck and the characters suck. Stopped playing after a few hours. I much preferred Higurashi and the Chaos;Head games

>>718040236 (OP)
I did, it's severely overrated. Same goes for Chaos;Head and Chaos;Child

>>718040367
Not too many people write chuuni characters let alone good ones. And the vn did a very good job with their dynamic and interactions with each other.

>>718040236 (OP)
Haven't gotten around to it yet. What is the best version? The original release or that Steins Gate Elite one?

>>718041646
>Higurashi
lol
lmao
R07 is a hack.

>>718040236 (OP)
>play

>>718041834
VNs are games yes.

>>718041650
Chaos;Head and Chaos;Child are pretty good though, the atmosphere of paranoia in C;H is unmatched. I liked both of them way more than S;G.

>>718041760
Don't get Elite

>>718041456
I'm a right wing chud thougheverbeit.
>>718041760
Original. Elite is dogshit and it's only saving grace is that it comes with Linear Bounded Phenogram

>>718040439
Honestly? No, it's not. I pushed through the story hoping it would get better but it never really became good enough to feel good about putting that many hours in. And the complicated route logic to get the true ending makes things even worse.

>>718040236 (OP)
Ever17 is better than S;G in every way.

>>718041249
Same. I'm still chasing the high I got when I played SG for the first time. There's nothing else that comes close to it.

>>718042139
They're fine until they go all shonen with spirit swords. It's nip schizo and that's either gonna appeal to you or not, shit just felt too random to me.

>>718041760
Just watch the anime. It's a solid adaptation with good pacing and it's one of the best anime shows in general.

>>718040236 (OP)
No hate to VNs or the people who like them but honestly I gave a fate VN a try but it's not for me personally. I like reading books but....idk man.. VNs just don't appeal to me

I love my wife Suzuha's genki smile!

True but the best girl is Mayuri.

Anon, I...

>>718040236 (OP)
I ended up dropping it. The protagonist was a completely unbearable dickhead and it made the story aggressively not fun.

>>718042950
They're very Japanese. Unless you go towards shit like Ace Attorney or Zero Escape they're just fundamentally incompatible with people that aren't massive weebs already. Helps that those series have actual gameplay too.

>>718040236 (OP)
i watched the anime and it was just aight story wise. fuck i look like experiencing that again but 100 hours this time

>>718040236 (OP)
The anime is good enough, I have a very limited amount of time on this earth and not nearly enough to read and watch everything I want to. I just can't afford to double dip.

>>718040561
>literal fucking trannies are "an oldfag" thing now
lmao almost as pathetic as the onimai trannies

It is physically impossible for anyone who wasn't at least knee-deep in 4chan culture before, say 2011, to enjoy Stein's Gate. They cannot appreciate the buildup that uses anonymous imageboard culture from that era that keeps oldafags engaged.
Have any of you rewatched it recently? Can you imagine a 20 year old watching it? Let me tell you, it's a very weird experience having to explain why funny things are funny to someone who didn't experience that internet that no longer exists.

>>718043128
>>718043132
The VN is better, you owe it to the story to get the full experience.

>>718043220
I've already been spoiled too much on 4chan. I've seen the highlights. I'm sure it would be a great experience. But as I said I already have a watchlist longer than I can complete in a lifetime.

>>718042950
I appreciate that you're being mature about something not appealing to you instead of being an angry retard. I loved Fate/Stay Night myself.

>>718042838
>one of the best anime shows in general
It's in the top 250 for sure

>>718040487
>Birth ME Code
>Danganronpa written by fat women with blue hair
No thanks.

>>718043190
Steins;Gate has aged like milk. It relies way too much on cheap references and temporal meme culture that has now died out to get you attached to the characters and what is happening. If you're removed from the culture of 2006 memes it becomes extremely mediocre as a story.

>>718041027
Steins Gate 0 anime sucked massive dicks. I've never read the vn but I don't see why it needs to exist. The story had a perfect ending already.

Because that shit looks gay as fuck nigga.

>>718043358
>top 250
S;G is way better than that and you know it.

>>718043441
Indeed, a story that relies so heavy on external context isn't actually that good in the first place

>>718043441
aged like a fine cheese that only oldfags can enjoy.

>>718041249
There will always be other great things, for me personally Muv Luv, Baldr Sky and Muramasa are just as good if not better in some ways.

>>718040439
Yes, just read it already retard.

>>718043034
How is he a dickhead? I remember him being pretty nice to everyone.

>>718043501
the main plot doesn't rely on external context, it's the humor/slice of life that does. At most, my zoomer friend never heard of the hardon collider with the miniature black holes

>>718040236 (OP)
I bought a Stein gate book because it was on sale a few months ago. Never going to read it but the 19 year old asian girls I bring over love it for some reason.

>>718043190
For the anime internet culture is like .01% of the show. Time travel and mysteries are very popular genres. I watched it not knowing shit about akihabara or japanese culture and was easily able to enjoy it. I think you are assuming too much.

I only watched the anime but Steins Gate is good, one of the better shows of the 2010's but still just an 8/10 at most. Let /a/ tell it it's the best thing ever made though.

>>718043190
>Can you imagine a 20 year old watching it
Bruh I watched it in 9th grade.

>>718043764
SG is better than most 00s anime if you remove your nostalgia goggles.

>>718043764
Can you name some 9 and 10 out of tens? I don't necessarily disagree with you but there's no way it doesn't belong in the top 100 shows of all time and probably top 50.

>>718040236 (OP)
>played
really nigga

>>718043086
I'm in a weird spot, oldfags and these "modern otakus" (for a lack of better words) call me a beginner when it comes to anime (even though my first anime ever was fist of the north star when I was 10 or 11 and I have many dakimuras. But alot of people call me a weeb cause I watch anime and own dakiumuras lol

>>718043310
I try my best to be fair. I remember telling a online friend who was from brazil the same thing I said here and he called me everything under the sun then blocked me....oh well lol

Sometimes I really hate 4chan contrarianism. Can't talk about anything without a handful of posters having to proclaim how X is the worst thing ever.

>>718043854
You're lowballing it honestly. SG is a top 10 anime easily.

>>718041834
>pic
Why even try to be a spiderman at that point?

>>718043817
Yeah an 8/10 is gonna be better than most anime ever made, because a majority of what releases at any point of time is garbage, your point?
>>718043854
Top 100 is probably accurate, maybe 50 if it really resonates. Tsuioku-Hen, Kaiji S1, Disappearance of Haruhi are anime I'd give a 9/10

>>718040561
Sex changes aren't an "oldfag thing"

>>718040236 (OP)
I didn't care for it. Tried watching the anime years back and dropped it out of boredom.

>>718043904
Who are these mysterious "otaku" calling you an anime newfag? What are you saying that gives them that impression?

>>718044119
It gets better but that's fair. I think the shows biggest problem is how heavily it relies on making you care about those characters in the first half just for the second half to work. For me I don't find any of the characters THAT compelling besides Okabe, still I wasn't bored while watching it.

>>718043958
You're right but you can't have a conversation with contrarians unless you meet them in the middle somewhere.

>>718040236 (OP)
Should I use a guide to just get the correct ending without playing it multiple times?

>>718040236 (OP)
>Steins;Reddit
No thanks.

>>718040236 (OP)
Dropped it because it felt way overhyped a decade ago, cool art style though

>>718040357
Were sex change operations even a thing in 2009? I find that difficult to believe, they certainly weren't in the cultural zeitgeist. Is this really what the original japanese dialog said?

>>718044221
The first half is the best part though. Zoomoids have just been brainwashed by tiktok shorts to need constant bing bing wahoo or they get bored.

>>718043814
If you were in 9th grade and on 4chan before 2011 then of course you enjoyed it

>>718044179
>Who are these mysterious "otaku" calling you an anime newfag?
People my age, early 20s and so and have been watching anime around the same time I first started

>What are you saying that gives them that impression?
I GUESS it's cause I don't really watch the flavor of the month anime. I tend to stick to older animes and/or fighting anime (such as fist of the north star, baki, jojo, Ashita no Joe, stuff like that). I only watch new anime after the hype died down abit

>>718040236 (OP)
13 Sentinels has actual gameplay and is a better story on top of that.

>>718044523
Do you only play fighting and action videos games as well? Have you ever tried a non overtly masculine anime? Not attacking your tastes just curious. I was basically the same way until a friend talked me into trying some shows outside of my comfort zone and I discovered that I actually liked a lot of things I didn't think I would. You do you but I would encourage you to at least be open to new genres. Try what is broadly considered the best and if you enjoy it you can start digging down deeper and finding the hidden gems.

>>718044434
Man the 1st half is mostly just slice of life shit, sick of you faggots claiming that was more enjoyable than the second half. Most people like things to actually happen in the media they consume or else they feel they've wasted their time.
https://youtu.be/WXsYUa3JJwI?si=USBGqngGp04TR8tq
You fuckers actually try and convince me shit like this was the pinnacle of the writing in the series, that this was more compelling than the psychological breakdown Okabe goes through in the second half

>>718044608
Can you DM me when they come out with a pc port thanks.

>>718044523
You can enjoy anime without being an otaku. If that shit doesn't permeate into your personality it's a good sign.
I don't consider myself a "cinephile" for liking movies, god forbid calling myself a "gamer" for liking video-games. Stop caring about normie spheres.

>>718044729
>if there isn't bing bing wahoo nothing is "happening"
>character development isn't part of stories
You are the worst kind of fan, I don't know you but I know we could never be friends.

>>718043369
It's more like zero escape and the author is some french-canadian dude

>>718044816
I'm not a "fan" and making friends with people that browse this site sounds like something I'd rather not do. It's funny you referring to the emotional crux of the show you allegedly like so much as "bing bing wahoo", you're kind of a shitty fan yourself. There's nothing as cringeworthy as the video I linked in the second half of the show, that's why it's much better

>>718044761
And god forbid you actually fall for this faggot's babble >>718044698

>>718044698
>Do you only play fighting and action videos games as well?
I don't play fighting games surprisingly, unless its the new virtua fighter game. But for action games I mostly play "boomer shooters" like doom 1&2, BLOOD, postal 1&2 and so on.

> Have you ever tried a non overtly masculine anime?
Kinda? I loved violet evergarden ( And I must admit, I cried like a bitch. I don't do that often if never) but that's really it.

>Try what is broadly considered the best and if you enjoy it you can start digging down deeper and finding the hidden gems.
I try but I stick to my genres mostly. But if I see something that interests me I get it.

>>718044972
Recommending people expand their horizons and try new things is faggot babble? How closeted are you? Please don't post embarrassing cringe like that again.

>>718040841
Same, maybe my expectations were too high but S;G felt plodding for most of its run. I'm not sure if it's even a 7/10 for me.

>>718045129
I came out as bi over a decade ago so definitely not closeted, you just said some bullshit and are insecure that I called you out on it

>>718045216
>called you out
sounds like newfagbabble to me. not him before you cry and piss and shit yourself that you got cAlLeD oUt on some newfaggotry
don't embarrass yourself by @ing me

>>718045090
I assume you've watched the original Berserk, but if you haven't I think you would enjoy it. Also Ping Pong and Odd Taxi. Don't let the appearance of the last one fool you, it's one of the most mature shows I've seen in a while, it has the most natural dialog in any anime it will feel like you are listening to westerners talk.

>>718040236 (OP)
Steins;Gate is overrated shit.

>>718045216
Don't even know what I said to trigger the homos but good for me I guess. I thought the LGBT crowd was all about inclusivity and trying new things but I guess that's just a stereotype.

>>718045216
/a/ sets itself up for failure with how much they talk up shit like S;G and madoka. the way they speak about these series' you can tell they haven't seen them in decades and i don't think any anime exists that is as good as what they perceive these shows to be

>>718045090
> But if I see something that interests me I get it.
For I played that dream bbq game. It was fun and I was charmed by it

>>718040236 (OP)
I did. It was good but I don't think about it anymore. Especially since I read 0 afterwards and it was just kind of bad.

>>718041006
Yes

>>718045367
Multiple people in this thread and all over /a/ have said it's top 100 at best. You are projecting your own contrarian insecurities. You can do better.

>>718045367
meant for >>718045187

>>718045287
>I assume you've watched the original Berserk
Yes, one of my first animes. The manga got me to read actually.
>o Ping Pong and Odd Taxi. Don't let the appearance of the last one fool you, it's one of the most mature shows I've seen in a while, it has the most natural dialog in any anime it will feel like you are listening to westerners talk.
Alright anon I'll check these out. You peaked my interest.

>>718045445
see this is precisely what I'm talking about. The fanbases of these shows are actually mentally ill

>>718045536
>claiming a well beloved show is top 100 is mental illness
I don't even know how to respond to that?

I only play good games

>>718040236 (OP)
And they didn't missed much.

>>718045659
the people claiming the show are only "top 100" aren't the people i'm talking about and are not the same people praising the ever loving shit out of it in the threads on /a/ you absolute fucking idiot holy shit how are you this retarded

>>718045287
>Ping Pong
also, anon which ping pong is this?

>>718040561
>good story
lol

>>718045754
being a blind faith zealot, is how

>>718045769
It's called Ping Pong the Animation.

steins;gay fags haven't played more than 3 VNs in their lives. not even the other sci;adv games

>>718045843
ahhh thank you :)

>>718045754
Why does people being passionate about something they like offend you so much? Is there nothing you care about enough to claim that it stands at the top of it's genre? Why do I only see this kind of outage on 4chan?

>>718045849
I've played at least 10-15 vn's I'll have you know. But I haven't played steins gate and I don't plan on it.

>>718045906
when the fuck did i say i was offended? i was responding to anon saying he went into it with high expectations and was disappointed, all i said was people on /a/ are doing it a disservice for overhyping it to an unbelievable level that it's impossible for people to not be disappointed by it. can you even fucking read?

>>718045998
If someone elses opinion makes you unable to personally judge something that is a character flaw of your own that you should work on. All works of art can only be judged by the eye of the beholder.

>>718046062
i don't buy into hype at all so i don't have that problem, having expectations based on preconceived notions is human nature though, i'd be hard pressed to consider it a character flaw.
saying a show is the best or your favorite isn't an issue, when people are saying stuff like >>718041249
>nothing else could possibly ever compare to this experience i just had!
this is setting people up people to be disappointed, naturally so. expedition 33 fags suffer from a similar issue

>>718045968
>But I haven't played steins gate and I don't plan on it.
y tho it's good

>>718046234
I haven't known anyone personally that watched it that didn't come away impressed. I guess I just roll in different circles. I don't know where this crowd of people who hate on steins gate exist, I only see them on 4chan which makes me suspicious if it's real or not.

>>718040236 (OP)
I already did read it though?

>>718046289
I know but I just don't have the time>>718043132

>>718040487
Oi, you said you would clarify that Decide 4 God is in early access, not fully released.
I'm still waiting for the full release to play it dammit.

>playing a book

>>718046404
Oh oops? The last 30%? should be out in the next month or two.

>>718041006
They are not games. They are books with pictures

>>718046785
If you bothered to play a few VNs you'd understand why that's inaccurate. You're probably just shitposting though.

>>718046785
Not always and it doesn't matter only someone on a losing side argues semantics.

The anime glosses over tons of details.

Ugly artsyle

I rewatched the anime recently. I remember loving it when I watched it live and how unique it was. The anime was parodying 2chan and net culture at the time which was unheard of!
But on my rewatch I could only think about how slow it was to actually get into the main plot. And knowing some of the twists made it a bit boring because it's not as in depth as I thought it was. Kinda took a while for me to finish the second time around. I don't really have the motivation to play the Zero version.

>>718040236 (OP)
I never will. Generic Jap harem trash

>Well? What's your excuse?

I don’t actually like anime games bro I just look up the cute characters from them and jerk off to the porn

>>718048997
>harem
You don't know what that word means. It doesn't describe the show at all.

>>718049058
Sad, you should try one, you can't know if you like something if you don't ever try it. Are you a picky eater by chance? I've found a strong correlation with picky eaters and people who instinctually dislike entire media genres.

>>718049125
A little bit yeah, but I don’t exactly “dislike” anime games, per se. I’m just not as inclined to really get into it like some people do. Same with my food.
So in a way your hypothesis still seems to track

i did play it, won't recommend it tho. the choices for the ending are annoying and forces you to open a walkthrough. just watch the anime. not all of em tho just the 24 ep series.

>>718040236 (OP)
I watched SG years ago and it was shit. I'm not reading a longer version of it.

>>718053117
Retard.

>>718053225
It's crazy that people like you call yourselves real fans of this series.

>>718040236 (OP)
Are the Chaos;Head VNs worth playing? How do they compare to SG?

>>718040236 (OP)
Because it is a bad anime with a bad fanbase and the last thing I want to do is dip into the other part of such a series?

>>718051890
Back to the Future?

Steins;Gate is a great example of why anime is an aids ridden medium
the time travel story is great, but the game and anime are ruined putting so much weight on fanservice shit like tranny and waifufaggotry
Can't take the game seriously when all the time travel stuff is put on background to focus on dating sim shit for virgins who need to pretend they're dating pixels because they're extremely lonely and so addicted to porn that normal women't aren't enough and they need men pretending to be women
If this story wasn't troonime it could've had potential to become one of the biggest works of scifi

>>718040561
he's not just a fag who likes to dress like a sissy
he is a mentally ill tranny who genuinely wants to become a woman, and as the pic shows, they're literally encouraging him to get his dick cut off

>>718040236 (OP)
I liked Steins;Gate when I read it 10 years ago. But after reading Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate 0 I realized that it's authors are hacks and Steins;Gate was a product of its time. There is no point in reading it nowadays, just like with Homestuck

I forgot to buy it when it was a lot of moneys off

>R07 is a hack.
Yes, doesn't stop it from being entertaining.

>>718040236 (OP)
Steins;Gate is just Edge of Tomorrow but lame.

>>718054238
>hasn't even read it
You're just as retarded as the other contrarian posters.

>>718040236 (OP)
I played through it, through Zero, watched the animu and the movie.
It's bretty good suffering porn, especially S;G 0.

>>718046331
It's cool to hate things, especially popular things. At least that's what 15 year olds on here believe.

I need genki retarded gf

>moege Yuzusoft crap with no story
God I wish. Yuzusoft crap would be so much better if it actually had no story

S;G wouldn't been good if it had even a single likable character in it but that was apparently too hard for the writer to do.

>>718040236 (OP)
I can't read.

>>718040236 (OP)
Garbage art. Already read Chaos Head and Child but steins gay is a never ever

>>718056305
You're skipping over the single best thing in the series.

>>718056651
He doesn't care and is proud of his own ignorance like the rest of the contrarians in this thread

>>718055910
Okabe being such a twat ruins the series. Daru kind of sucks too and he embodies everything bad about anime otaku.

>>718040236 (OP)
I heard it's vastly overrated. Also I don't like plots which include time travel because the writers fuck them up most of the time.

>>718056971
>I heard
Opinion discarded retard.

A visual novel needs attractive visuals

Kill yourself troon.

>>718040236 (OP)
i watched the anime and thought it was good enough

>>718057095
Maybe if you picked your brain up from the floor you would realize that you need to read a story first before you're allowed to judge anything about it.

>>718057221
Stop replying to me trannie.

>>718057321
Keep coping over your own ignorance, worm.

>>718057398
Are you lonely or something? Stop replying to me you useless pervert, or end yourself.

i'd rather reread saya no uta or muramasa for the nth time than give this piece of shit a second chance

>average tranny game playerbase is a bunch of conservitards who call themselves antiwoke

>>718057457
You got filtered by time travel in a story that you haven't even read. You're pathetic.

>>718057671
That didn't happen you delusional crossdresser.

>>718040236 (OP)
Steins;Gate is dogshit.

>>718040236 (OP)
Steins;Gate is above /v/'s reading level

>>718040236 (OP)
I got bored in the first chapter, when does it get good?

>>718059045
You accidentally booted up Fate

>>718053571
I'm in the minority that enjoy them more. The atmosphere is top notch, the stories are a lot darker than Steins;Gate dealing with gruesome murders and the net closing in on the protagonist who just wants to go home and play video games.

If you want conspiracy/schizo kino, then Chaos;Head Noah is right up your alley. Being the first in the series, it also lays a lot of the ground work for concepts that feature in Steins;Gate.

People who loudly proclaim they haven't and never will read it should be banned frankly.

>>718040236 (OP)
>played
I played a slightly different book though with less pictures but better story.
Notepad is pretty good game engine.
