Steins;Gate

Steins;Gate is a sci-fi visual novel and the second game in the Science-Adventure series, following Chaos;Head. The game later spawned several sequels, as well as a manga and anime series. Players make their choices by either selecting to answer or ignore phone calls and text messages, as well as selecting the reply. The outcome of these choices change the direction of the story.

Taking place in the summer of 2010 in Akihabara, Tokyo, Rintaro Okabe, who also goes by the pseudonym Kyouma Hououin, is a self-declared mad scientist who, among his friends, has accidentally created a time machine out of a microwave oven. By sending text messages into the past, he is able to alter the present and future. Yet the Butterfly Effect from these changes may create a horrible outcome for not only Okabe and his friends, but the fate of the world.

Steins;Gate received outstanding reviews with an average score of 88%, praised for its engaging story, colorful characters, voice acting, and attention to detail within the scenario.

Like just about any visual novel, the Platinum doesn’t require any skill – only time, and some strategic saves. Unlike other visual novels however, the different choices not clear-cut selections. Rather, they involve sending and receiving texts and phone calls at certain moments in the game. This means, if you are text-skipping, there’s a good chance you might skip through where you need to make a decision.

Expect anywhere between 5 to 45 hours for the Platinum, depending on how much text skipping you do.

NOTE: The trophies on the PS3 have a separate list from those on the PS Vita.

If you wish to get the Platinum in the least amount of time, we recommend following one of the walkthroughs under our Links tab, that will state not only when and which texts and phone calls to make, but also where to place some strategic save points you can fall back on.

There are trophies for reaching each of the multiple endings throughout the story. In addition, there are a few miscellaneous trophies for collecting all the CG images, receiving certain ring and wallpapers for your phone, and all 13 RaiNet episode summaries. You can either check out the Steins;Gate trophy guide links under our Links tab for specific details on these, or simply follow one of the walkthroughs, which will include methods for collecting these as well.

Be wary of text-skipping, particularly involving the miscellaneous trophies. Occasionally there may be a moment when you need to receive a reply to an email that’s linked to acquiring a phone ringtone or RaiNet episode summary. However, if you text skip through that moment, you could lose your chance and miss the reply.

If you’re simply reading the story like the game intended without text-skipping, then of course you have nothing to worry about.

Finally it should be noted that the Prologue does not contain any choices. So if you’re still keen on text-skipping, feel free to skip through the entire Prologue. Decisions will need to be made in Chapter 1.

PlayStation Plus Free Games December 2018

Editorial Team

With the Winter Holidays coming up, here are some games you may wish to spend playing indoors on those cold days. Sony has just announced their line-up for PlayStation Plus Free Games December 2018 which will be available on Tuesday, December 4.

On the PlayStation 4, there’s Soma, a sci-fi survival horror taking place in a remote underwater research facility, where machines seem to be developing their own personalities. And Onrush, a vehicular combat game where players use off-road vehicles such as buggies and motorcycles to take down opponents and win.

For the PlayStation 3, there’s Steredenn, a space shooter where players must survive against space pirates in chaotic combat. And Steins;Gate, a visual novel involving students who use technology to alter the past.

And on the PlayStation Vita, there’s Iconoclasts, a 2D action platformer with gameplay similar to the classic Metroid, battling enemies and solving environmental puzzles as the player-character Robin fights against tyranny. Iconoclasts is also a cross-plat on the PS4. And there’s Papers, Please, a puzzle simulation game where players are a boarder crossing immigration officer in the fictional dystopian country named Arstotzka.

Among the PlayStation Plus Free Games December 2018, only Onrush and Steins;Gate have Platinum trophies. Steins;Gate is certainly the easiest, being a visual novel, requiring only 5 hours if using a guide and text-skipping. While the Platinum for Onrush is of average difficulty depending on your skills, requiring anywhere between 15-20 hours of gameplay.

Also, unlocking 100% of the trophies on Papers, Please is reasonably easy with a guide and only requiring about 3 hours, while Soma is not hard and needs only about 8 hours.

Steins Gate 0 Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Steins Gate 0 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *  A visual novel and part of the Science Adventure series, and pseudo-sequel to the 2009 Steins;Gate. If following a walkthrough and text-skipping, the Platinum can be unlocked in less than two hours.

Steins;Gate 0

Steins;Gate 0 is a visual novel, part of the Science Adventure series, and a sequel to the 2009 title Steins;Gate. Players read through text that is accompanied with graphics, spoken dialogue, and music, while making choices that affect the outcome of the story.

Set in Akihabara, Tokyo, and in an alternative future following the events of the original Steins;Gate, university student Rintaro Okabe becomes a tester for Amadeus, an artificial intelligence made up of digitized memories. Meanwhile, the time traveler Suzuha Amane and neuroscientist Maho Hiyajo seek a way to prevent a time-travel arms race that could lead to WWIII.

Steins;Gate 0 received positive reviews with an average score of 83%, praised for its story, atmosphere, and colorful characters, though criticized by some for difficulty in experiencing different endings and lack in understanding certain aspects without having played the previous Steins;Gate.

Since Steins;Gate 0 is a visual novel, there is nothing difficult in obtaining the Platinum. The game is simply reading through text and making choices. With a few strategic saves made along the way, the Platinum can be earned in one or two playthroughs, with a lot of backtracking.

Expect only 2 hours for the Platinum if following a guide and text-skipping, or up to 40 hours if reading everything and making multiple playthroughs.

NOTE: The trophies on the PS4 share the same list with those on the PS3 and PS Vita for the North American and European versions. However, the Japanese, Korean, and Hong Kong versions have separate trophy lists for each system.

There are several ways you can go about getting the Platinum, depending on how much you wish to enjoy Steins;Gate 0, versus being in a rush for collecting all the trophies.

If you simply wish to enjoy the game first, then by all means go ahead. Afterwards, you can start again and work towards viewing the alternate endings by making other choices.

If you wish to enjoy the game, but not have to backtrack so much, then we recommend making at least four saves at the following points: 1. Chapter - Closed Epigraph (12/5) when choosing to turn on or off the phone 2. Chapter - The Orbital Eclipse (1/2) before choosing to ignore or cancel the call 3. Chapter - Anitomic Dual (1/15) when choosing to answer or ignore the call 4. Chapter - Pandora's Box (1/23) before choosing to answer or ignore the call

Having saves at these four points will make backtracking and selecting alternate endings quicker. The third option is to go through with one playthrough, and even text-skip, to get that Platinum as quickly as possible. If you decide to do this, then we highly recommend following the Quick Platinum Walkthrough by neosnake101 under our Links tab.

Once that's finished, there may be just a few trophies to mop-up. Here is where you'll want to check out the Steins;Gate 0 trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you still need and their requirements.
