Does /v/ like games about time travel?
I liked Stein's Gate and YU-NO
>>344337845
They're definitely on my backlog. I'm playing through Remember 11 right now.
The more I think about it, the more it's probably my favorite sci-fi thing. Back to the Future is one of my favorite movies and favorite telltale game, Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite JRPG's, Steins;Gate is my favorite VN, and Time Splitters 2 is my favorite FPS.

Why is that little girl eating the cabbage incorrectly?
>>344338423
Not everyone shreds it up and eats it with a fork you fucking hippie
>>344337605
ugh this image pisses me off!
Currently playing Radiant Historia, the RPG for the DS on my phone. Didn't get very far.
Pros
>Great music
>great battle system
>good controls
>no random encounters, enemies are on the map
Cons
>backtracking leads to slow world building.
>white is good. black is evil
>>344337989
Remember11 is terrible
No. I absolutely cannot stand time travel in really any form. A majority of the time it starts off really interesting and promising, but then ends up explaining everything away with, "It's time travel!" Very few games or other forms of media actually try to explain how time travel influences things and just uses it as a more scientific form of magic.
Bioshock Infinite is somewhat of a good example. It mixes multi-dimensional concepts with seemingly time travel in the story. So you'll get moments where you hop dimensions/travel back so that you can get items or change events. But then things get so muddled that by the end you've got Elizabeth pulling a key out and saying, "It's always been there, I just couldn't see it." I know it can be done well, but most of the time it's awful or it'd just be better if they replaced it with outright magic.
help me /v/, i tried playing YU-NO, but it gives me an registry error and i cant seem to fix it
>>344338905
you are terrible
>Cabbage with ketchup
This is highly upsetting.
>>344339292
Have you tried switching to Japanese Locale? You need that for most VNs.
>>344339413
it's Sriracha, dog
>>344339128
>Bioshock Infinite has even somewhat good time-travel
>>344337605
Real talk: I'd love a chicken sandwich right now.

I DON'T WANT ANY CHICKEN SANDWICHES
>there are newfags existing on this board RIGHT NOW who do not know why she was in the washing machine
>>344337989
I hope you're looking forward to the ending....heh.
>>344340319
Because she was the worst girl of course
>>344337845
>you'll never have sex with both your biological daughters and eat your friend's flesh
>tfw trying to get tsugumi ending
Fucking bitch.
>>344337605
Not in particular: Most games really don't think their premises through, requiring me to just chuck my brain at the door most of the time. It can make for some fun environmental reuse, though.
i liked achron despite its clunkiness but who am i kidding this is just an excuse for an anime thread

>>344337605
It can be good, but I dislike it in most instances.
>>344337605
>Eating your Lattuce with ketchup
fucking disgusting
>>344339881
a nice 'cha 'bage
>>344337605
I only liked R11, ghost trick, and YU-NO.
S;G was incredibly boring, and the ending was pretty lame.
ZE is filled with potholes, twists for the sake of twists, and ZTD was awful.
Ever17 most routes sucked ass
>>344337605
>eops will never discover the joys of moe quantum mechanics
>>344341258
>I liked YU-NO.
>S;G was incredibly boring, and the ending was pretty lame.
yu-no is way more boring and the ending is completely retarded
>>344341852
>have brain damage and can't understand maths to any competent degree
>mfw reading hard sci-fi and anything quantum comes up
>>344342005
Yeah, the second half sucked balls. S;G introduced something great(the organization), but focused on saving the retard, and the bitch. I guess. I'm just really salty about it.
I quite liked LiS until it went full retard in Episode 5.
>>344342210
Never seen a sci-fi story going into quantum mechanic math. Then again, I'm not that big into sci-fi.
Examples?
>>344342608
It doesn't go into the actual mathematics themselves but even basic descriptions and so on. Like discussing math without equations which I would assume is the commonplace method in books. I don't know if that makes sense though. Even descriptions of quantum effects, like a person losing their corporeal body and becoming comprised of nothing more than quantum wave functions, throws me for a loop.
>>344342005
YU-NO and Stein's;Gate were pretty much about equal until the second half of YU-NO which just made the whole thing blow Stein's;Gate (and everything else) far out of the water.
>>344337845
>I liked (((Stein)))'s Gate
>tfw can never find a harder mindfuck than ever17
>>344343058
Yeah, you can't really visualize quantum mechanics without being misleading. Spooky shit happens there. It's better to accept that certain quantum effects simply exists if you can't into that kind of math.
>>344341258
> likes r11
> hates steins gate
Are you me? Godly taste
>>344343534
Oh yeah I get that they exist and things happen and all. My problem is that I'm unable to comprehend the mathematics/physics behind any of it. I've consumed a lot of media involving QM but I'll never fundamentally understand it, if any of that makes sense.
I do like how things get spooky and wish I understood it better.
>>344337605
I only like one way time travel.
And only the ones where you are frozen or something and you wake up centuries later.
>>344337605
Did she put ketchup in a cabbage and ate it?
>>344340319
>There are people who don't know that its YOU who are in the washing machine
These are truly dark times
>>344343702
Old physicist joke: not even physicist understand quantum mechanics. And it's true. They calculate instead.
Our senses simply aren't calibrated to that world. So in that sense no one "understands" it, only its effects. You're trying the impossible.
>>344343906
A plain cabbage wouldn't taste nice.
>>344344332
That too. I know that even QM experts claim to not understand QM. I suppose I was trying to suggest that I wish I could 'understand' it to the degree how anybody with a competence in the subject would. Brain damage is frustrating, man.
>>344337605
Who does this?
What kind of straight up psychopath bites straight into a cabbage drizzled with ketchup? Her dick sucking lips are small so you can tell she had to bite into it like five times. Is she being tortured? Is this her punishment, is that why she's so determined to eat that cabbage?
>>344337605
Yes.
>>344337605
I enjoyed steins;gate, and eagerly await for zeroes release in the states.
VLR was fantastic
Ghost trick is fantastic
ZTD left a bad taste in my mouth unfortunately
Time travel games are very difficult, because they usually are riddled with holes.

This looks like a cute slice of life anime, what's the source? I might want to check it out.
>>344346195

>>344346195
nigga you must be joking
>>344346010
higurashi is about alternate timelines not time travel
>>344346104
Which one is the milf? She's the better one.
>>344343240
(((You)))
>>344346770
Harukana is the milf.
>>344337605
is that ketchup on a cabbage?
I've never been so nauseated by something so innocuous, I don't understand it doesn't even seem actually gross but my brain hates it so much, why brain why
Absolutely. Especially when it's the MC from the future. Shame I can't really go looking for titles such as those since it'd spoil everything.
>>344346195
This gave me a good laugh, thank you kind anon
>>344346195
No idea but I have a cute little high school harem anime if you're interested.
>Naturally, I knows the hacker
So this is the power of Uchikoshi's writing...
>>344337605
Why is she eating the watermelon like that?

Time travel is old and busted.
Alternative realities is the new hotness!
>>344351326
Only if you can't switch realities. Otherwise it makes everything meaningless.
>>344337605
are there any time travel games which isn't sci fi?
>>344351843
Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?

good time travel games which isnt scifi*
looking for some recs

>Reading comprehensionHe meant that Bioshock Infinite was a good example of BAD time travel ie what he describes in the first few sentences
>>344344646
Is hard to understand, the mere action of watching transmit energy to the system, since a photon is energy, so instead of knowing what happens, you know what COULD happen, this is a really shitty example ,imagine a circular track, and a car moving in it, you know it is in the track, but you don't know where,and the only way of seeing the car is by shooting it with a bazooka, you can see the problem, since, you know , the bazooka will throw the car out of the road, in the moment you see it, it changes its behaviour, i did my best.

Did someone say time travel?
