Normally this is the part where I would tell you that word wrap is more complicated than it appears, but in an official release in which I know the text area supports rollover (either scrolling or carries as a new page without advancing the script) it is just lazy. If you're not constrained by character limits, there's no reason not to use it.

No the hacker Nagato made a blog post showing that they had fixed it and changed the font so everything fit in properly and was readable.
Yeah, but even with MAGES doing the work I would still hope PQube would've caught this and asked for it to be fixed. If SCEA really picked it up and wants it fixed I'll definitely be impressed
You people weirded out by Okabe's behaviour should look up what's "chuunibyou". (not the anime)

I didn't realize any PS3 games supported screenshots.

PS button and start button at the same time. I don't think many games actually seem to support it though.
Some games do, you need to press the PS button and go to the Photos tab. If the game supports them there should be a "take screenshot" option. I think PS+Start works too but it's obviously easier to check if they work using the first method.

Where I work we call this paraphrenia. It's still weird.
In Japan it's more like a character trait than a mental disorder. And, well, most of the times the character's actually aware of the façade he's putting up and he's doing it just because he thinks it's "cool".

Spoiler question for those done with the game and with the other Science Adventure games: Although Okabe is an ass at times and "delusional" about things like being a mad scientist,
aren't his "delusions" actually correct based on the Council of 300?
The 病 part of the word chuunibyou 中二病 means sickness.
I'm coming around to the character more but only when he stops acting like a little kid.
I see I see. Maybe I'll pick up the PC version at first. Still would double dip on this later.No the hacker Nagato made a blog post showing that they had fixed it and changed the font so everything fit in properly and was readable.

No idea but I have played only S;G.
It means "Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome". It's something that "afflicts" kids, they're not sick, they're just being kids.
S;G might have been the biggest mainstream anime that popularized it, or at least that's my impression. After S;G aired that "kind" of chuunis started popping up everywhere.
I don't think so. I think one is just the same story but through the perspective of other characters, and the other is a non-canon romance/comedy thing.

Chapter 4.
You know what I mean.
Ruka arc.

Hmm okay, I hope we'll get them someday too.

I'm pretty sure they're both non-canon (at least mostly?), but that gives a lot more freedom for creativity for the one with different perspectives (which isn't just the same story).
Ah, I wasn't sure. I was just going off of what VNDB told me, to be honest.
That flowchart seems extremely confusing. Can I use this walkthrough instead or will I miss out on stuff?
I found the flowchart to be easier to understand, personally. I think I also used what you linked for something, but it seems unfinished. I guess it is better laid out if you just want to see all the endings, though.
Edit: Oh, right, I used that guide to try to get all the CGs, but apparently there's a bug in the PC version and you can't get it. Wonder if that's present in the Vita/PS3 versions...
Even in the jast version? Because the original fantranslation was janky as fuck but I assume they fixed everything for the commercial release.
Yeah, it was the JAST version. I lost my save, so I can't really check, but I think it was the very last CG,
the one with everyone and the cake.
The pc version must have been a shoddy port to begin with, then.

I'm waiting for the US release, but I was wondering if after selecting a keyword to respond to, are you able to back out of a message you've written and choose a different keyword? Or do you need to load a save to do that still?
InfiniteNine

It was but the US release had a majority of bugs fixed and was built on an updated version of Nitro+'s engine so for the most part it's better than the Japanese release.
Pretty sure selecting a keyword shows what you write in response, so no, you can't go back and pick another, you have to load a save.

Not that I can tell. It means I kinda have to guess what the kind of response will be. I've only been unhappy with one message that I selected.

I've been playing this a bit on Vita. I'm liking it so far. I really shouldn't have watched the anime on Netflix a couple of months ago though as it pretty much spoiled everything, though it's interesting to have this deeper look at things while knowing from the start how everything will unfold.
The game looks great on Vita.
I was also genuinely surprised when I found out the text on the box was 100% in French. I kind of expected a physical release Vita VN to have a single box for every European country, not country specific editions.

Thanks, I know that's how it was in the PC version but wasn't sure if it was changed in the Vita port.
That sucks. I cancelled my order from them in the last moment and went with .co.uk. Received my copy yesterday.
I resisted watching the anime for so long for exactly this reason. Going to watch it once I'm done with the game but I'm not actually sure if it'll be worth it?

Well it's a watered down version of the true route but it's a decent adaption with the episode count they're given. It might be good for a watch when you feel like revisiting and not want to go through the whole game again.

I just finished the anime via the Funimation app. That has to be one of the best animes I have ever seen.

Certainly among my favorites. It has some pacing issues at time but it's a real enjoyable ride nonetheless.

Steins;Gate charted at #18 last week (both platforms combined I think), that seems pretty decent for a nice anime VN on two relatively dead systems. I guess that half the world bought the game from the UK helped.

Oh and my Vita copy arrived today, great timing too since mailmen in Germany are going on strike starting tomorrow haha

Chapter 4. I really like
But the game definitely has its lows and highs, I'll wait and see until the end for my definitive opinion.
how the game portrays effectively how maddening it can be to be the only one to remember how the past changed.

That's only relevant to Robotics;Notes.
And the Vita version charted on the top 50 individual SKUs.

Can't remember when it starts, but be sure to save after every chapter now
if you care about seeing character endings. The divergent points are pretty obvious.
Finally, I received my copy today. A little unboxing:
The artbook is great, Im very happy with the content and quality. Warning, there are several spoilers on it, dont open it unless you have already watched the series (or finished the game).
Spoiler-free selection of the artbook, I´m posting it under a spoiler because there are too many images:
Kurisu says hi!
PD. The spoiler tag doesn´t work with images, that´s odd, am I missing something?

Got my Rice Digital LE today, too! That was a lot faster than I expected.
The upa's a little smaller than I thought it would be, but that's okay. Also, wow, there's some pretty big spoilers in this artbook.
Edit: Also, super jealous of that Kurisu figure, Wampiro. I really want a scale Kurisu figure, but all of them are so expensive anymore..

Yeah, it doesn't work. You can put them as links if you don't want people to see them without clicking.
I believe if it's not mentioned in the flowchart, then it doesn't unlock any cellphone wallpapers/cg/etc, so you should be good.
