gently caress! You're right, the fucker is standing right there in one of the background shots. I totally missed him.

Tired Moritz posted:

Ota is cool tho

He's a spoiled loving brat that has no respect for anyone else, not even his own parents that sacrificed everything to raise him and he doesn't even learn anything by the end of the story.
He's easily the worst loving character in the whole game.

I don't like Ota much but this is kind of exaggerating, he definitely learns that he needs to do something to support his mom and regrets how he's been, and in the entire right side of the flowchart is consistently the one to call Date out that he's neglecting Mizuki when she desperately needs him.

Ota would have been infinitely easier to sympathize with if he was a teenager and not a 25 year old creeping on an 18 year old.

I pre-ordered the PS4 collector's version a long time ago, I hope I can get it

I want my mother loving AIBA figurine

Maybe I can order the collector's ed, take the aiba, and then sell the rest and buy the PC version instead like I wanted

Oh god I hope mine doesn’t get canceled. I preordered the millisecond I could, and if I have to wait extra time for it I will

Edit: for those who got canceled on, what console? I preordered for switch and at least so far it’s still good

Between the cancelled Amazon orders and the delayed European release it's not a good launch for the game.

PS4, the switch is too underpowered for my standards for a game I'm really excited about, even if it is a visual novel, the last AI was kind of laggy i had read on switch

Switch version sounds like runs a bit poorly again, though there's supposed to be a day 1 patch that reviewers couldn't play with

I didn't have the massive problems others had with the switch version on the first game though it was a bit jittery, but it's a VN so I didn't really care.

Until I read one of the reviews it hadn't occurred to me that the game needs two protagonists to investigate at the two different times the body was found.

Amazon said my special Switch edition would not be on time, but they didn't say when it would be.

Fortunately I'm not done with 13 Sentinels yet. Which is a very good though markedly less silly anime visual novel.

"What the hell do they mean? Beefcake?"


Got the same message just now. So that's Amazon and Gamestop that canceled on me.

Gamestop apparently said the issue was "beyond them." Amazon told me it was the manufacturer. Spike Chunsoft says it's the retailers.

This sucks.

Sounds to me like they got way more sales for the CE than they were expecting, and neither the publisher or retailers ever checked in to see what % of preorders there were

In fact, with people's day 1 preorders being canceled too, they must have run out of stock almost immediately, and no one thought to make more or cancel preorders earlier
