- An informative, spoiler-free, and easy to understand guide on why you should care about Steins;Gate Elite! S;G Elite is a remake that combines the visuals of the anime and the content of the VN, and probably my favorite version of the game to date.

If I bought this now I would fail college lmao

Me too rip
@Supanjibobu Uninstall it from your computer to save yourself.
I wonder why you said that? I'm a newcomer to the franchise. Because someone recommended this to me. So I will start with the anime soon. Btw I'm on my last semester. Should I continue or stop?
@@phillipyau8192 Just watch the anime first, because the VN is better. You don't get all the details in what Okabe is thinking in the anime, so it's a different experience.
I only watched the anime, but i can tell you that shit is amazing, and it's now one of my favorite anime ever, and nothing even comes close to the experience of watching it. It's the ultimate form of time travel stories.
If you loved the anime then you will certainly love elite even more! The added characterization the change in medium adds improves it more than you can imagine. The anime is one of my favorites ever so I'm glad they did both source materials justice
I completely understand the whole walkthrough thingy to get the true ending. It's requirements is pretty.. weird after all.
But actually just hunting for it, over and over again, loading save after save, going over mail after mail trying every little thing, is truly a special experience.
when you finally get the true ending, you feel so much closer to Okabe and his struggles.
This makes me want to cry to see someone else's love for this story, for the same reasons, and at the same times,. It influenced my life more than anything else, it influenced my mind and heart, this really makes me want to cry
Thank you so much
Bro explain i dont undertsand the ending. He find way to go to steins gate?????

x DANTE yes he does , he deceives time with his own blood because of his past self in a different time line gives him advice about changing it.
Can perfectly understand you bro, same here
I mean I still prefer the original VN art style but I can see why people would enjoy this.
It's hit or miss. The art style is great but Okabe looks butt ugly sometimes
Kurisu looks super derpy in the anime.
Mayuri looks awful
Zsurvivalist suzuha looks cuter in the original, they totally fucked up the shape of faris‘ Head but i like that Mayuri looks more mature in it and Luka looks pretty ok (just like shining finger)
Refloni oh, right. I don’t like anime kurisus design either like her hair used to be a reddish brown now it’s plain red and her VN counterpart had more sass in it
just hearing the soundtracks again makes me wanna play again.
Having watched the anime first, then played the VITA/original version, and currently playing Elite, it's a close tie between the Elite version and VITA. Mostly because I liked the original art style in the VITA/original. But wow, I'm blown away in the first minutes. This is the future of visual novels for consoles. It's a 9 out of 10 for me.
If you've never played Steins; Gate or seen the anime, get this version.
Was on eBay trying to decide between getting the vita or the switch game. Saw ur comment and bought the elite version on switch
Congrats on finishing the video Cullen, solid review. Yet again you're making me want to get into this series
Ah, i see you are a man of culture as well. Subbed.
Thank you, welcome to the lab~

OK BUT... Can you change the phone wallpaper?
Nah, that's part of the concessions I mentioned. You can't take your phone out at will. I get why they did it, but it's my only gripe with the game
Shame, but I'll still enjoy it nonetheless. Can't wait for my limited edition to come in for my switch
@@GageOnFire BIG SAME CANT WAIT TO GO GET MINE
No phone? so there's also no 8bit ringtones. SAD
I might get a strange opinion about this, but I actually prefer that they removed the phone whenever you want, it gives you a false impression that you can interact with other characters, while you actually can't.
I would have enjoyed some customization from the game's menu at least though.

@channeler Chris
This is really what I was hoping they’d make years ago after trying to get thru the visual novels... this series is my absolute favorite anime, I’m freaking stoked good video dude!
I really appreciate your video here. I bought the VN on Steam a few years back, but kept putting it off and eventually watched the anime last year. I'm excited to pick up Elite now, and having it on the Switch will be great!
This video was a great intro to Steins;Gate, been on the fence for quite some time with this game but you might just have convinced me to get it! Keep up the great work!
That's awesome!!!!! I'm really hyped that Elite will bring in a bunch of new fans!
Thank you. I have watched the Steins;Gate anime, and this video along with other praise I've read for the VN has convinced me to get my first VN
Been years since i watched the anime and this would be the perfect way to get back into Steins;Gate content. So i just bought it for switch now im hyped and sounds promising from this video.
I hope you enjoy the game! Having a switch is perfect for more SciADV games since more of them keep getting ported to switch, it's a great time to be a fan :v
Well, I owe SBB a thanks yet again. This was an excellent video and love how it was edited. I agree with the vast majority. I LOVE VNs, but I love to be surprised with an ending. It's always a riot when I start a game and find that my first choice sent me careening to the bad ending after only a few hours of playing. I only ever really get a guide if I absolutely cannot figure out how to get the ending I want. But that's just me. I was debating on picking this up, and you definitely just sold me. Gonna get on switch. That NES port sounds sweet. 😄
Awesome to hear, I'm glad Buns shared it so many more people know about this awesome game! She's my inspiration for becoming a content creator and one of my best friends ever ^-^;
Hard agree on all of this. Best way to enjoy one of the best VNs out there, and I feel like its aesthetic will make it especially welcome to newcomers who enjoyed the anime but were perhaps on the fence about giving the VN a shot.
Great review as always! You worked super hard on this and it paid off :>
No elite dumb ur smely heck urself
@@culIen Would you say this is the definitive way to play it or is playing the original better?
@@Plestora
The original is better by a mile. If you want animations just watch the anime.
I just felt the need to thank you for talking about this, for all the effort you put into this single video that is so well made studiously! I finished Stains;Gate and Steins;Gate 0 a couple of years ago, it was one of my first animes and even today it still holds a very special place in my heart, I loved the anime and thought about rewatching the two seasons but in a turn of events I stumble upon this video about some -"Visual Novel" that is actually a game (I never read or played something like this) and I gotta say you completely convinced me to! I just felt like thanking you in advance because now I will be able to experience one of my favorites piece of media ever, in a better way than the first time!? I am damn excited!
Just found your channel from Super Butter Buns recommendation. Very intrigued by Steins;Gate now. Love your style and definitely interested in more!
Thank you! I love Buns to death and she's the best friend and inspiration I could ask for ^-^;;;
Hope you end up giving S;G a shot!
Fantastic overview! This just went on sale at GameStop so I’m picking it up now! Thanks!
Great video! Love the side tangents on Kurisu, which are 100% correct. If I could like twice I would.
It is the will of Steins;Gate that you do! Sunovabitch!
i literally just finished your chaos;child review and now suddenly i have more cullen to enjoy. what an amazing coincidence
The timing... that in itself was the choice of steins gate
I loved the anime & after hearing what you said about elite I'm now very intrigued in getting it but will have to get it digital.
Your video was the perfect answer to my question! Thank you so much. I’m definitely gonna have to pick this up as someone who has never experienced Steins gate, if I liked Danganronpa I think I will like this after seeing your video
Thank you very much! This is a series very dear to me so I hope this game succeeds so I can see more entries come west ^-^
Hope you love Elite!
Amazing review- you really summed up why the VN is a superior way of experiencing S;G, and all the improvements they’ve made with Elite. I’m just so jealous of people who don’t know the story yet.... not sure it’s worth buying at full price if I’ve already experienced every twist and turn BUT for newbies, there’s literally NO REASON NOT TO PICK IT UP.
thnx for the info, I was kinda skeptical but now I'm sure what my next purchase is
Great to hear! A lot of people seemed to have a negative opinion on it so I'm glad I was able to inform people that there's a lot to offer here!
it released on my birthday
best birthday gift I could ask for :)
I've been sold on Steins;Gate now and I'm looking forward to playing it now! Thank you Cullen.
Awesome to hear! Hope you enjoy, and when you finish it up just know that there a ton more games in this series to try after ^-^
I'm getting my collector's edition today!!
@@ethanleasure1561 hell yeah gamer 😎👍
Great Review. I've been meaning to play the original version of Steins;Gate after watching the anime but I like that 5pb made a version of the game based on the anime so I look forward to playing it tomorrow. Here's hoping we get more 5pb and Mages games localized by Spike Chunsoft US. I'm looking forward to checking out Yu-No when it releases later this year.
Great job on the review, thanks for keeping it spoiler free (as much as that's possible anyway.
For real, if anyone that happens to watch this before seeing Steins;Gate, just do yourself a favor and watch it. It's even better when you go in with out any knowledge and just trust all the people that say it's amazing.
I played the the original VN and watched the anime (same about zero) and I think I'll buy this too because I'm a huge fan of Steins;Gate and I think this game will fit for someone like me. Thank you for this video, it really helped me made up my mind
6:11 Well done fellow solider. We must make sure the world knows the glory of Kurisu, and protect her from the organization at all costs!
El psy congroo
Thanks for making this video! I re-watched the anime like 3 -4 times already and Idk why I thought it was a waste of time if I'm going all in anyway
I love Steins;Gate. I played the original VN and watched the anime 5 times, and you convinced me to get the elite version.
My friends have talked about Steins;Gate forever since the anime came out but no one really said what it was about so I never looked into it. Just laying down the premise at 2:55 got me excited, and i'm definitely going to mark this game down as something to play when I make time. The anime hybrid of Elite is interesting cause I've never seen or heard of a VN doing anything like this before, but I also really appreciate the simplicity of the VN format so I'm not sure which one I want to get.
Elite would probably be the best bet, since it comes with 2 games!
And it supports the new rights holder bring even more titles to the west, which buying the original doesn't really do since they didn't localize that version.
Now I can finally take his place and feel what he felt, Daru I mean, he's always playing these interactive games in the anime, I wanted to see what's got him hooked up
This was my intro to Steins;Gate and I absolutely loved it. Can't recommend it enough.
Okay I’m pretty hyped to get this now :D
Thanks dude! Thanks to you I know its safe to buy and with no spoilers as well! (Im fresh to the series. I want to watch the show but put it off. I'm excited to play the game now)
Awesome to hear! This is a great entry point in the Science Adventure series and I hope that you end up loving it! There are a lot of other amazing games that I hope get localized after Elite that you check out because this series is something special ^-^
Thanks Man for the amazing video. I think i will get it. It will be my first VN. I love storys about time travelling. It will be awesome. On Switch i can take it with me anytime 8)
Been playing it. Love it. Bought it because of this video. Thank you
I'd already seen the anime, but Elite is better
@@sapphie132 thank you very much! I'm glad you're loving it so much. When you finish I highly recommend giving more of the science adventure games a shot! None of the other anime series do them justice.
I literally just watched the anime, gonna play this now
Thanks man, one year later and this video helped me A LOT.
El psy kongroo.
Thanks for the review of this VN. It's been a while since I watched this amime and the OG VN. You also have a great taste for Kurisu.
I believe there is an another game that has the same style as this one. Well, it's School Days. (Uwaaahhh... the protagonist in School Days sucks.)
Great video bro keep it up your doing amazing job also what is your through on the live action stein's gate series which we are getting in the next few years and are you going to make a video about it if you haven't yet??? 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Here i am,exactly 1 year later watching this video for the first time without knowing anything about it. This is the will of Steins;Gate!
I see you linked to the OG's flowchart, so even with the slim down(and also I misunderstood) the restructure of routes, it's still possible to follow the 100% guide(at least for route endings)? That's nice. Also great video!
Shoutout to dusk.
Things are a bit different, but it at least tells you how to respond to Kurisu's emails to get the true end so atm it's the best solution
It's a true shame you can't just bring up your phone when ever... I always got to much enjoyment out of during serious talk just thinking about what would happen when mid-convo he just starts look at his phone. Then again, I guess it kind of fit his personality at least early on.
@@waterflame1871 Yeah, I agree. Wish they could have figured out a way to implement that, but I seriously can't come up with what they could have done :/
8:38 I felt attacked until you mentioned yourself 😩
Glad I'm not the only one
Just pre ordered the limited edition on switch. Been waiting forever for this. Can't wait to own my favorite visual novel ever on my favorite console ever
Awesome! The LEs seem like they are going fast, so nice
Good video! I was wondering about this game, and was slightly interested. Worried about the Visual Novel aspect of it. Now i have a better understanding on what this is overall.
Hope you give it a shot! It's a perfect way for newcomers to ease their way into the visual novel medium. It's quite amazing!
spoiler free is super under rated and highly appreciated
bro the ending make me cry . i want to see more.
Now this is quality content, major kudos for not spoiling. It really annoys me when a UA-camr just spoils a event. Literally happened to me not to long ago with another game.
Bang on review cullens. Looks like I’m buying both versions
HELL YEAH GAMER
I don't even have a console yet and I'm going to need to get both versions.
I bought the game because of this and just finished it
What a blast !
Amazing to hear!!!! The true ending is really something special, and I'm glad you gave it a chance. There are many more amazing games in this series I hope you give a shot ^-^
This is how I see it in a nutshell:
-If you just watched the anime, want more details and aren't used to VNs. Get Elite. It's the best way to get into the visual novels of the Science Advenure series.
-If you read the VN, but haven't watched the anime, Elite is still worth getting for the animation and extra stories. However, you don't have to if you really don't want to. I do think it would be a cool experience though if you haven't seen the anime.
-If you've seen both the anime and original VN like I have, then your most likely on the fence as to why you should get this outside of the extra stories. Personally, there isn't really a reason for me besides the extra stories. I recommend waiting for a sale if you even want it in the first place However, if you are a hardcore fan of this series and want to support it fully, do go ahead and buy it. I want to see the other SciAdv novels localized, but I just ain't that much of a fan. More of a 07th Expansion kind of guy lol
I only played that for the platinum trophy because its free for ps+ extra members... it tooks 3h for me
really glad I watched this review. was on the line between not buying this and buying this, but this solidified a hard buy.
Awesome to hear! Thank you for supporting the series new chance in the west! Hope you enjoy both Elite and Phenogram/8-Bit ^-^
Great video! I'm a Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0 fan, I understand it all and have followed it for years. I just want to know one thing if you could indulge me... does Elite allow you to tackle every one of the alternate endings with the guide you provided, just like the original VN did? Is Elite still accurate In terms of decisions via the Okabes Phone and do they still correspondto the guide you posted ? Look forward to heading from you!
I actually really hated the idea of this game when it was first announced but, after seeing the game as it got closer to release and in your video, it does look a lot better than I was expecting. I was actually just playing the Yarudora games on the original PlayStation for a video of my own and Elite reminds me a lot of the presentation of those games (both being mostly fully animated VNs). Hopefully 5pb will make a game that has completely original footage someday since it seems like a cool idea that could be taken further. Anyway, great video! Also you saying that you were only 16 when you first watched Steins;Gate was kind of surprising since I was in collage when I first heard about the Steins;Gate game in 2010. Guess I'm becoming an old man...
Iirc, Yarudora was an inspiration for elite. I'm really hoping that if the game does well they can make an original Hybrid SciADV game, or a remake that takes a title and remakes it from scratch (chaos;head... please)
You've convinced me to try this out. I'll pick it up after I finish playing AI: The Somnium Files: Nirvana Initiative
Steins gate elite is now my preferred way to experience steins gate
Thank you for the video!
I just heard of it today and since I never played the original VN but loved the anime, I was quite interested.
Looks like something I should give a try when I got the time (lots of games coming out right now).
Just a really Great Review
I saw the limited edition Switch version in the store yesterday and picked it up thinking it was the original although I own the PC version coz I really wanna support Steins;Gate. I haven't played the original VN yet, but after watching your review, I'll start with Elite since I'm not VN savvy.
i've played Steins Gate and Steins Gate 0 long time ago, and i've watched all the anime too, but i think its time to revisit it once again so i feel like Elite should be a great way to revisit Steins Gate as it basically same like the VN(?) and has new animation, i know for a fact the riding bicycle animation never existed on the anime, then finally play Steins Gate Linear Bounded Phenogram and Darling Embrace as i never actually played them before... The plan is set
1. Steins Gate Elite
2. Steins Gate Linear Bounded Phenogram
3. Steins Gate Darling Embrace
Whenever I saw somebody complaining about Elite, I would usually bring up that at the very least we get a free game with it depending on the platform you get it on but I never checked back to see if anybody responded lol
Not sure how anybody could disagree with what you said since your points are pretty solid!
But if somebody does disagree, they might change their minds if they actually sit down and go through this version 🖒
I’m very interested in VN’s. Most of my exposure has been Phoenix Wright. You’ve sold me on this game and AI
7:37 OMFG Cullen you mad man
IM HAPPY SOMEONE NOTICED
Oh, I get it!
ᴵ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ᵍᵉᵗ ᶦᵗ
I just finished the original VN. Now I'm playing SG0. I heard 0 will get a Elite-Version too. VN-Anime-Hybrids do seem to have a lot of potential. I wonder if other VNs will go the same route.
I tried to compare the original with Elite and although the original art is more detailed, I love the anime-style. Looking through the beginning of the game, the quirky personalities of the main character and the female sidekick really shines through a lot more in Elite. What put me off was that Elite were missing some of the script. But it didn't seem to be any crucial information so I feel like the pros outweigh the cons. The bonus game on PS4 makes it feel like a no-brainer.
But there's no way I'll play this with a walkthrough before atleast giving it 2-3 tries. You only get one chance for a true blind attempt where you're fully in control of the decisions. Since I got into this series late, I actually got to play Chaos Head first, and I loved that game after just 1 playthrough and what I think is the generic ending. I tried to put myself in his shoes and made my decisions based on that. That's what I plan to do with this game too. I think it will be easier in Steins Gate since the decision-making seems to be more straightforward.
Awesome review on one of the best animes made in modern times. Gotta pick this game up sometime this year.
If physical copies are important to you than I'd recommend jumping on it soon! Gamestop has already delisted it and it seems like it's a limited release. Thank you for the compliments too btw ^-^
@@culIen oh wow! Thanks for the heads up on that. I got no internet except for my phone so I'm all physical media on games.
@@buckroger6456 No problem! Best of luck and enjoy!
This review was exactly what I needed as information on this game is scarce.
Glad to hear! I hope it convinced you to give this special game a shot ^-^
DrCullenPHD and... I just finished the game. Thank you for this video and your recommendation to push me over the fence to playing it. The first half draaaaaaags but the second half makes up for it.
Thanks again! ;)
and here i thought i wanted to save up some money this month but nooooo you had to come along and make this video... (ps. jk i really loved your video and share that same passion about this series as you do, i'm so exited to play this VN now and will be following the walkthrough i think)
It's okay, who saves money anymore! I'm glad I convinced you to give Elite a shot and I hope you love it! SciADV needs more passionate western fans!
hey btw, i just stared following the walkthrough but it seems as it was made for the original steins;gate VN....
@@rafyfx it is, but the important part is responding to the kurisu emails starting in chapter 4. The emails send at slightly different times, but the guide will still tell you what to say.
oh, alright thanks a lot!.
I think this would be an interesting format for other VNs but some don’t have anime’s so getting the visual assets would take longer
Just had the stunning experience that was watching the Steins;Gate anime for the first timearound a week ago, super excited to pick this up when I get the chance
Also your taste in best girl is impeccable
Thank you, I pride myself in my Choice Taste. I'm happy you're willing to explore the source material for Science Adventure as well! These games are super special and its unfortunate that many of the anime adaptations don't do them justice.
@@culIen Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Steins;Gate adaptation the only one that is very highly regarded (with the Steins;Gate 0 adaptation being alright and the others being shit)? I've seen Steins;Gate 0, just curious to hear the answer from a longtime fan.
@@sendhelp6349 pretty much, with the exception of the Robotics;Notes adaptation being pretty solid. I think the 0 anime is better than the game tbh, but yeah most of the anime adaptations for this series are bad. The Chaos; animes ruin the amazing stories they're based on
@@culIen I didn't think Robotics;Notes had an adaptation, since the VN hasn't even been localized yet. Also surprised to see that you think the 0 anime is better than the game, what makes you think that?
@@sendhelp6349 cuts what didn't work, and improved everything that did.
Wow, you almost give me the need for buying this, though I know the story by heart.
Does it include the lost "Moeka ending" (Hyde of the Dark Dimension)? If so, I will definitly get it.
Just got the OG one on december steam sale, guess I'll go do that and come back here after...

Fantastic review of this game!
As you are a massive fan I'm sure you've fully played Elite now. I want to know what you thought about it compared to the original VN. I just finished Elite, coming in fully blind, and found out that the original had some different parts and mechanics. Most people say to play the original first because there is "More to it" but when I look up the changes most of them seem kinda small or obsolete. The biggest being 4C being cut and the changes to the phone.
4C I don't care about, he barely added anything other than padding for that one story line. A little more context in Elite would have been nice as it did feel a little rushed but I didn't mind. The phone though I wish I did have more interaction. I like that you can't miss the events but it offers less variation but once again, these cause super small deviations.
I'm playing through LBP right now and am enjoying it and now have experienced the phone mechanic fist hand and it's... well.... yeah there. Feels the same as Elite but a little more free?
In the end which version of the game would be your favourite/best and recommend?
Its strange, because its hard to really say which one is "better". I appreciate that the original fleshes out Okabe's descriptions of the environment, but I love how Elite adapts a lot of that to a visual experience and makes the story more approachable for a casual audience. I think I'll likely play Elite every time I wish to revisit S;G because its on my switch, and I think the upcoming Elite 0 has a chance to be the definitive version of the story. Also yeah 4C's role being reduced seems SUPER overblown. I'm happy in general that the chapter is shorter, its one of my least favorites in the game.
Still cant listen to the S;G ost without getting emotional, that anime had such an impact on me
So I do have a question !
But first of all : great video ! This is one of the thing that finally decided me to give a shot on Steins;Gate. Which I intended to do someday. But I thought I would go with the Anime first, then MAYBE do the game.
Time passed, Elite came out and I thought It was the perfect timing to give it a shot. A real shot with the original material. But again : wasn't sure if this "remake" was worth it's price. After all, the original was way cheaper and I'm not afraid about VN stiffness (and I do love the Art style). It was your video who decided me to go with Elite.
Haven't finished it yet - a little more than half of it - but I do not regret ! So thank you for your work.
Now to my question. And I'm open to all advices.
From what I've read and heard, the VN is superior to the Anime. Not a big shock, but I'd like to know in what proportions and if it's still a good way to engage with S;G.
It's probably easy to detect, but English is not my native tongue, but I'm good enough to understand the game... since it has been released in France, but not translated (thank you very much).
I'd like to share it with my wife but she's not as comfortable as I am with English. And I think S;G is a bit too complicated for her.
So... is the Anime is a real let down compared to the VN ? Or is it still a good compromise ?
Hey, thank you for the compliment! The anime, while the "worse" version is still a damn masterpiece. I don't like how we lose Okabe's inner monologue, but it's a totally valid first experience. Watch it with her and have a great time! Glad you're loving Elite!
Thank your for your answer ! And yes, I've heard about the loss of the inner monologue. Which is... kinda wierd. Anime is pretty comfortable with that kind of things usually (more than movies for example).
And since I got your attention, another question : what about the text messages you answer in the game ?
I'm asking because another critic I've read about the Anime is the lack of development for support characters. I won't take that statement for granted, but since we learn to know them from those texts, I was curious to know if the Anime managed to include this (if they did). Especially since they didn't keep Okabe's thinking.
Anyway ! Thanks again for the answer ! I think i'm gonna check the rest of your content.
I might get it for my switch whenever I finish the Visual Novel soon. Just got distracted playing corpse party. But I only saw the anime first and such. Then I soon got the Steins:Gate and Steins:Gate 0.
I’m currently watching the steins gate anime, it’s awesome 😊
As someone who also loved the anime I think I have postponed the VN enough and I'll get to it this year!
thanks for the video getting this instead of Anthem :O
I'm not really a big fan of the elite version. The Anime pictures aren't meant to be stared at for a long amount of time and it shows. Looking at them for more than 2 minutes is enough to be annoyed by the style they are going for. It just seems bland and uninspired. It's probably good for new people to be eased into VN, however, I see no reason for someone who is already into them to start this over the Normal version. The art style is just way more appealing for this to be worthwhile.
Also, showing the animation with A LOT to read in the bottom seems a complete waste to me. It's different in an Anime format because just a quick glance to the bottom makes you understand what is written there. By the time you are done reading the text, the animation is already over. But it isn't because the game circumvents this by not giving you a lot to read and drip fiding it to you completely ruining the pace for me. I'm a fast reader and it bugs me to no end having to stop every sentence just so that the animation can catch back up
Also. While it shows a bit more of the things the Anime glances over. It skips way too much of the stuff that was never included in the Anime in the first place but was in the VN. Hell, I will never forget the 1-hour long conversation Okabe and Kurisu had in a room of people about the different time travel Theories and why they could work but don't right now.
That was easily one of my fav parts which the anime just glanced over with "She thinks she is high and mighty because she's a genius".
The next thing is the Phone. OH GOD, THE PHONE. The phone had a big role in the OG VN. Answering and responding to text was what guided you to different endings or routes. This has been reduced a lot and is my biggest critic to the game
That doesn't mean that the elite is a failure or has no purpose. I'm glad it came out and I can def. see the market for it. It's just not for me.
Stein;gate is my fav Anime and VN. I'm happy that it opens up more ways for people to get invested in the series and raise awareness for it.
In the end, "elite" is not an enhancement to the VN and if someone is expecting it as such they will be disappointed like me. If you are expecting an enhancement to the Anime though? This is for you.
This dragged on for far too long so I will leave you with my wishes for you to enjoy the ride

Many of the scenes in Elite were delegated to optional scenes based on phone triggers, making their use more significant. There were some scenes cut, but a lot of it is actually still there but only show up depending on your phone triggers. I haven't figured out how it all works, but numerous friends have mine have stated their experiences were very different than mine (for example I didn't get gelmayuri, a friend also going for true ending did). Sorry to hear it wasn't your thing, but that's all totally fair and it's not for everyone. Hope you at least join the bonus game and thank you for supporting the series!
@@culIen Ty for using your Time to respond to my comment
The problem that I have with that set up is that, while it makes the use of the phone more significant and streamlined, it makes the rare occasion it does show up an obvious " The world will remember this". While having the access to the phone for the entire game, a lot of choices may not matter much however you don't know if this text, the next or the one that came before will alter the future.
The phone has just become a way to disguise the question "do you want to enter route A,B or C" without adding anything to it. While it was also the purpose of that in the OG VN, It feels way too obvious now and less like a feature.
@@optidalfprime3904 Are you referring to the branches in chapter 6 and on? Yeah I agree with you there, but I meant more that how you respond to emails more effectively give the player access to a variety of new scenes that are subtly implemented like the original game
@@culIen Ah yes, i can agree on that one
Thanks for this
Thank you for watching! Hope you enjoy Elite!
Maybe we will get another season of this great anime who knows. If we get that im gonna cry like a Little baby❤️
Lol saw this video right after I watched the spike chunisoft live stream.
Thank you recommendation
The SciADV series must be doing a decent job in the West. I just saw on Steam that Robotics;Notes Elite is going to come out in 2020, so... If it's going to be translated, then there might be a bit of hope to see a localization of Chaos;Head at some point in the near future
I have not played this game. This makes me even more excited about playing it (the original, not Elite version specifically).
I think I forgot to comment the first time I saw this so I'm leaving this comment for the sake of getting this video more views and thus more sales for Elite so we get more sci;adv vn's in the west
I really like Steins;Gate. Stories are my absolute greatest passion in this life. Steins;Gate is without a doubt one of my favorite stories, period, across any and all mediums.
Please buy this game, for yourself and for everyone else.
Thank you for your support! I would recommend signing the Operation Hiddenhand petition to support the localization of Robotics;Notes and then share it around ^-^
Also forgot to mention - to you dr. cullen, phd, this video is excellent
Checking it out rn! @@culIen
Ordered it a few days ago and will be here in a day or two. Oh god save me
Hope you end up loving it just as much as I did ^-^
I would like to ask, currently on steam there are 3 games, the original VN "Steins;Gate" then they lauched the "Steins;Gate 0", and now we have the remake of the original "Steins;Gate Elite, so what confuses me is, should I buy Steins;Gate 0 after completing the Elite version? Or does the S.G. Elite come with all the content of the S.G. 0?
If anyone could explain me I will be very thankful!
0 is a sequel, Elite is a remake of the original. So either buy the remake or the original, and then when you beat it play 0 or watch the anime (or both, the anime of 0 adapts a lot of other side materials 0 was based on and cleans up some of its issues)
@@culIen oh ok, so 0 is the sequel I thought, since the Elite was made after the V.N and the Anime Steins;Gate 0, that the remaster would already have the story from 0 but ok, I already watxhed both anime, so I do know what happens in both but the V.N has a lot more content so migh as well get it after I guess
im here waiting for SG0 Elite, im obsessed with the SG0 anime
