I picked this up for like 30 bucks at Gamestop during their fall sale. Sitting on my shelf waiting for my free time to catch up to it. I look forward to it greatly.
Okay that's interesting.I love VNs and I thought this one was a load of shite. So your mileage may vary.
Play 428: Shibuya Scramble instead.

Might be the best game ever but its kinda hard to sell a visual novel on console, they are better fit for mobile/portable gaming imho...reading for hours and hours on a tv is just not fun.

This is where I stand. The game's setting and story looks intriguing to me, but looking up some gameplay... yeah, that RTS battle system.... oof. I don't play those games at all and I'm super picky with non traditional real time combat games, so it sure as hell doesn't look like something I'm gonna enjoy playing.I really want to know if the game play is any good before I get this. I know the story is amazing, but everytime I ever look at the actual game play it looks like a confusing mess.
I don't think I've heard anything negative about 428: Shibuya Scramble and I would agree. A lot of VN's are hit or miss, but that one is up there with the greats. Of course I do consider Steins;Gate to be one of those actually...so. Seriously though 428 is really funny and gets more tense as it goes on and the presentation is impeccable.Okay that's interesting.
I've been duped twice recently on VNs that people said were great: Steins Gate and AI: Somnium Files. Both are fucking terrible.
I don't think I've liked a VN since Phoenix Wright on the DS or maybe 999. Most are awful. So now I'm a bit skeptical...
Fwiw I don't love the combat, but it's not a very large part of the experience. It's like 75/25 in favor of story. Just put combat difficulty down to easy and breeze through it, it's a minor distractionThis is where I stand.

*Astro's Playroom feeling left out*I'm playing the game and I'm past the prologue and so far it just seems your bog standard anime take about high school children piloting robots, complete with unnecessary child nudity.
Miles Morales and Demon's Souls and Sackboy
So for those who want the "why are they naked" context:
.....I can't say because it's actually a super huge spoiler revealed at the end of the game, but I can at least say this.
They're not technically kids while naked, as the game explains they're actually older due to INSERT HUGE GAME REVEAL HERE, so the only partial nudity is with adults
That's the best I can explain without just flatout explaining a huge plot reveal.
Sadly agree with this. I was totally convinced the hype would payoff for the first half or so of the game. But once I "reassembled the loaf" around that point, it lost a lot of steam and started to feel overlong.I am really enjoying the plot, and the action segments have grown on me. It's definitely entertaining, very much so. But I agree. I think the praise is a bit over the top too.
The plot is good but it feels like a very well done amalgamation of anime tropes/plots which isn't bad.
