The fuck ? Just finished Steins;Gate chapter 2. The game has me, hook, line and sinker
I quite liked the beginning but there was lull where it felt like it was really dragging up until things went into overdrive. So if you're enjoying it already that's good!

Meanwhile, I'm continuing to push myself through SG0. It's like they didn't learn from the first game and decided to only make the last 30 minutes of every route interesting. There is so much filler everywhere. And the fanservice smothers character development, tension, drama, touching moments -- everything. Some choice examples below. Spoiler-free of course.
A character is bleeding out in the arms of another character who they've really bonded with this route. So sad. However, the CG depicts said dying character with a single stream of blood trickling from their mouths into their titilatingly framed large bosom, where it starts pooling a little .
Fucks sake, Steins Gate.
Okay, okay. A character has a nervous breakdown once they have a moment to unwind a little. Gosh, I hope they pull thr-- And a male character accidentally gets a peek of the goods when they check if everything is okay, because of course this all takes place in a shower. Should've seen it coming.
Character is walking down a street and hears footsteps behind them. They speed up their pace; the footsteps behind them do too. Classic. They call a friend for help. However, their conversation suddenly cuts off and we switch perspective to the one taking the call! As they arrive on the scene, we see it's actually
an acquaintance with comically large breasts who wanted to give a surprise boob hug. The other character also gets boob hug and notes the softness of the two round objects. (<-- not actually a spoiler)
I'm not going crazy, right? They did not go nuts like this in SG. I can remember exactly two scenes like this total in that game.
When the 'goofy things happening' theme starts playing my eyes just glaze over, and I've started buttoning through. I've been (rather slowly) playing for 25 hours now and maybe a fifth or a sixth of that has been plot-relevant content, The times that it's proper Steins Gate, it's so good, but the game really needs a directors cut that gets to the point.
