Steins;Gate - Game Thread

[Rias]

S;G movie was never promoted as the sequel - but as a continuation of the original. The "legitimate sequel" to S;G is S;G 0, which is stated over and over on their website. Again, it's the wording they chose to use for each of the work, but I suspect it's because of the length of the story for the movie that doesn't warrant it to be labeled as "sequel".


Personally, the original S;G ended in such a beautiful way, that I had a high expectation when something is promoted as a "sequel". I have no problem if S;G 0 was a fandisk - it's actually quite interesting and filled many gaps in the original. The problem is, is how the story is structured, and how things turns out - it's like calling Darling a sequel.

I enjoyed reading Darling, it was a fun read. I also enjoyed S;G 0, very interesting stuff. Can it be considered as a sequel? Well, just because the events takes places after the original, doesn't necessarily make it a sequel.

Now, I'm up to the start of chapter 9 in the VN and I have a few questions but If the answers involve spoilers that are answered in the this chapter or the next, feel free to just say "Wait and see"

Spoiler for plot points:

Ok so since about chapter 6 Sern seemed to have just stopped showing up. They originally turned up and killed Mayuri and tried to capture the team on the 8/13. Then a few things got changed and they didn't turn up till 8/14. But since then there has been no sign, its like they have just given up on trying to get the time machine, despite some timelines going as far as 8/20. Have I missed some event that changed that suddenly made Sern stop caring?. Also didn't the Lab Mem's decide on the 13th that they were going to release the device to the world the next day, what happened to that plot thread?

Edit: Oh, this is for the original VN by the way. I think there is a second one so I just thought I should be clear.

Zero is now confirmed to have a western release (actual date unconfirmed, but it is due this year), but for those of us that have a PS3 we won't be getting it as it's PS4 and vita only.

I saw a full LP of steins;gate 0. I was really impressed. I thought it solidly built on the original in a way that I haven’t seen other inquels manage to replicate. Excited for that 23 episode anime now...

I must admit, while this whole game is a blatant cash grab, the opening is very good.
