428: Shibuya Scramble |OT| Today Was A Good Day

I had the same issue. You have to rotate the stick really fast.
Thanks.Do you have to rotate it clockwise?Do you also have to start from a certain position?
Tickets for the event on April 28 sold out in 5 minutes. I couldn't buy it. Fortunately I heard that the event will be streamed on Niconico Douga. The detail hasn't come out yet.

Didn't see your post until now so not sure if it'll be of any help, but no, the position didn't seem to matter. I did start clockwise before just randomly turning the stick.
Thanks I managed to do it but...honestly I really don't know how -.-.
After like 10 minutes of failed attempts the screen suddenly started to flicker and it worked but
it's not like I did something differently...
Yeah, took me a few tries as well. Loved the game, but it really needed some QoL features.
This is the link to the streaming of the event taking place in Shibuya on April 28. I really wanted to get a ticket for the event.

The event is going on now. There was a panel discussion with the executive director, the script writer, the script director and the photo director.
In the script making process, they once had an argument on Ohsawa's script. The photo director insisted no father wouldn't check his favorite singer's fan site when his daughter was kidnapped. But the executive director and the script writer said "I would".
The reason they don't let players control the texts in the end of Suzune's story and texts automatically appears and disappears is that they want to show texts and to play music at the right timing as they intended.

According to the script writer, they wrote a short episode after Shibuya was saved. (They decided to omit it at the last moment.) The after story showed Hitomi and Achi didn't have a chance to meet again. A few years later, both of them were invited Kano's wedding party. Hitomi and Achi met again at the scramble at last.

Unfortunately not. But script writer said he was working on 428 like game. It might be released next year.
Seeing Achi ten years on is like when I saw Flight of the Conchords last year. Everyone else looks pretty much the same.

Be my guest, use the OP to your heart's content. I don't own the Steam version sadly.
There is one already, i was on mobile and i dislike making threads using it due to all the copy and pasting on mobile @o@
I'm hoping someone can help me out. I swear I read this somewhere, but might not even be for this game but I BELIEVE someone described each protagonists story was a different genre, is that true? If so, which is which?
I don't think that's this game, and I'm not sure what else it would be, sorry.
Each character's story here is a bit different tonally, but overall it's all a comedy/mystery and not wildly different genres or anything.
Not so much a different genre as that they vary wildly in tone, especially early on. They all come together toward the end though, and if I had to pick a "primary" genre it'd be "thriller".
I might have been thinking tone, not genre. My mistake. Cheers for the answers though.
I actually purchased this on Steam yesterday. I'm at 1130 currently. Absolutely hilarious so far, but now I'm playing as Osawa, getting heavy with the Ua virus.
When I saw Kano's partner on the train, those disguises, I can't, I just can't, haha. Then all of a sudden he drank Burning Hammer and I got a bad end, my mind went spinning, was I betrayed?? Nope, haha.
Can someone remind me what Hitomi's sisters name was again? Totally blanked on that.
Edit. Maria, just remembered

finished 3 characters in the second hour. I'm hooked story wise. That said the usability option are straight up horrible.
I can't overstate how much it grinds my gears if you don't have instant text in VN. I read fast I don't want to wait for text to scroll along the screen. I snagged this for ps4 for 10 bucks but I regret it a little now should have gotten it on pc at least then I could speed it up with cheat engine.

Finished it. Loved the story but the technical aspects of this VN are honestly absolute trash. From an absolutely unbelievably bad UI. You can't call the time table up while in auto read. You can't call the bad endings table from within the time table nor can you get from the time table to the general menu and and and.... Urgh
Game crashed several times on ps4 and in the last crash my 85 bad endings save got corrupted after finishing one of the bonus scenarios before I could get to the mean clean stuff.
Now I have to go through it all again on autorun(which is honestly also garbage when every modern proper VN lets you fast forward quickly) so I'm pretty miffed. Honestly it's hard to recommend this version despite the stellar story.

I don't know if that will help you, but when going through blocks you've already done, you can fast-forward / skip text you've already read by pressing down on the controller (on PS4).
This makes replays less of a hassle and I remember it took me way too long to figure this.
Maaaaaaaan, I'm at the last hour (or so i suppose), I can't believe all this different plots.
Especially:
Now to end the game!
Especially:
All those different routes that end in nonsense just so its blocked with a keep out but in reality you need another decision from another character that will somehow unlock a different perspective whatsoever AAAAAAARGHHHH
Now to end the game!
maaaaan
ive done literally everything but the conspiracy scenarios - i can trigger the director saying play with the dial, but nothing from there.
is there a trick to the right stick here? clockwise, counter or what?
*edit - phew, finally got it!

I beat it the other day, and while the concept is really great imho (far too few VN like to play with the multiple protagonists concept) I felt a bit underwhelmed by the "true" ending. Maybe I wanted more, but the cliffhanger is a bit...I don't know.
The story is pretty good though, even if it stretches the suspension of disbelief quite a lot and often.
I like Kamiki Aya's song - so catchy.
One thing I thought was really well done was how thought out every possible timeline is. I had a mindblow when I played to get all the bad endings
I didn't do the "Conspiracy" thing, is it optionnal or canon ?
Supposedly the Canaan anime is not really good, is that true ?

And understood why Minorikawa's bug detection device activated in Café Lautrec, it was because of Ai who was bugging Tanaka and she was there to be alone to do this HAAAA
Yes I'm slow on the uptake

Lol welp guess I'm not watching it then.
One thing this game has done for me is making me discover I really really fancy this type of VN, with live actors. I like how grounded in reality that felt despite the sometimes ridiculous turns of events.

May I introduce to you:
Root Letter: Last Answer! The story is really good and the different endings can be pretty funny and crazy. Not as excellent as the god given 428, but it at least scratched the itch a bit.
OP
OP
I don't know how much the latest version adds/changes or if the FMV actually improves anything, but I will say: I kinda hated Root Letter. I was really looking forward to it, but it's just so bland and the main character is this completely needless jerk. And the story is not good enough to overcome that like some other games can. It's just a really drawn out mystery for no real reason. And it's super linear with the choices just resulting in suddenly different (incredibly what-if, sometimes more interesting than the true answer) endings.
I did kinda like the true end, though, so... maybe the stuff they added after that will make it more satisfying? But I'd hesitate to play it based on the FMV alone, is my point.

Not directly related to 428 but to one of its actors (Nasubi) and I might be extremely late to the party, but as I was going down the Youtube rabbit hole, I stumbled upon this video :
what the fuck ? like WTF
I don't know how I feel about Yanagishita being the butt monkey of the whole game now...

WTF! Seems pretty inhuman. But the uneasy music and slow speaking of video producer gets on my nerves. Just to "overthetop". Better read the Wikipedia article.
got this game on sale a few months ago and started playing it recently. Damn this game is fun haha.
People should jump on this deal if they are interested. The game is a treat

I flat out bought it for someone who didn't play it yet, lol. I guess if they haven't by now, I don't know what would work.
Kitajima has tweeted that the announcement might be happening soon.
