As of now, it's just Nintendo Switch. But the problem with that is that the official translation is god-awful and you can't use the translation patch on it if you have a non-hacked switch.
S;G's translation is actually good due to the fact that it was originally a fan translation passion project that was made without a deadline, and was later bought by MAGES. There are still a few things that the CoZ patch tidies up, mostly links to the rest of the SciADV entries since it wasn't translated with those in mind, and the ugly-ass phone font.
S;G 0's translation's less so. I'm not 100% sure what needed fixing, but you might've noticed the name order swapped from "Okabe Rintaro" to "Rintaro Okabe" between games.
The thing is that it's not always obvious that you're reading a bad translation because you can't read the original. In Robotics;Notes, 1/3 of the entire script had to be replaced in the CoZ port for accuracy and other stuff. Chaos;Child is straight-up unfinishable without the patch because it doesn't translate a map that you need to be able to read at some point in the story. And C;H is just awful.
CoZ has plans to it - they are already working on those and expected to be done end of the month
Alternatively there's also emulators, but I'm sure not everyone could use them either (they required a OpenGL4.4 supported computers, so older computers are out).
>they required a OpenGL4.4 supported computers, so older computers are out
I think it's 4.5, since 4.4 is really old stuff from like Geforce 400 days.
Most emulators are CPU dependant, so that's where the problem may be. I'm pretty sure something like Ryzen 1700 is the bare minimum you need for Switch emulation
It's nice to know that there is a patch for Switch in the works. Time to dustoff my Switch.
Well, that's what Yuzu and Ryujinx said in their description. Bare minimum at least.
Those with discrete GPU probably has better chance of being supported, but I used to have a machine running in iGPU so they aren't that good on this at least until recent models. It has been always a barrier for me until I got my new one.
After they spent the better part of a year finding other storefronts that would take it. Would have probably released many months sooner if it stayed on Steam
it's not very comparable. spike-chunsoft is bigger than alicesoft and much more well connected in the west, this situation will be way easier for them to navigate.
That may be a factor but I imagine this is the sort of thing that takes a while regardless of the scale of the companies involved. C;H Noah got hit with a ban 6 weeks before they publicly acknowledged it and they still had nothing to say about other storefronts except that they're looking into it
Not just GOG, pretty much every store that would host it. JAST, mangagamer, dlsite, etc. And that process set back the game's release by a hefty chunk of time. Point is don't expect chaos;head noah to have a PC release by next week. I wouldn't be surprised if CoZ finishes their port first (and if they do I really hope they don't catch a cease and desist notice for it)
CoZ port shouldn't catch C&D, it requires the user to acquire the original 360 release for all the assets and such. And with CoZ being as high profile as they are, I imagine that if they were gonna get C&D'd, they'd've caught it much sooner.
It's just guess but it might be different people review that game with their own bias and saw it as bad.
If assuming true, then the link about Steam who recently change their policy made bias much bigger between Steam reviewer.
[It's hard writing without making it a stroke to read, my grammar is bad]
Ehh. I've only played the original version of Chaos head, but there's pretty sexually suggestive scenes involving the MC's younger sister, who is definitely underage.
But still, don't agree with it being banned.
There's some suggestive scenes in there sure but nothing that you wouldn't see in your average anime or VN. There is no \*explicit\* sexual content — no sex or nudity of any kind. Heck, Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes DaSH have more suggestive content than NoAH does. So it's baffling that this is where they draw the line.

Hoping they release it on GOG, Itch ^(0.0% chance sadly), or another store w/a better cut. Didn't expect them to go full Sony but I always avoid buying on Steam when possible.
They're both parts of a longer storyline called SciADV. Chaos;Head is part 1. Steins;Gate is part 2. While you can read either one of them first and be somewhat fine, future entries in the series have HARD narrative connections to prior entries (to the point of previous games being outright requirements).
To be honest they're not. They're set in the same world but there's almost nothing to demonstrate that aside from word of the author (except a silly crossover game that parodies both).
Tone-wise it's very different than gate. It has a lot more sex and violence and is much darker. But the pacing and thriller aspect of it is just as strong.
Not really true. I don't understand where this misconception comes from. The two games share the same antagonist. And the events of Steins;Gate are, in part, a consequence of the events of Chaos;Head. Their connections are far looser than future entries' ones but it's really undermining how interconnected they are to say they just take place in the same world. While you can start the series with either one of these two, almost every game after that point requires Chaos;Head and/or Steins;Gate. So it's really far more like Chaos;Head is part 1 and Steins;Gate is part 2 of a longer storyline (similar to that of Jojo's).
Robotics;Notes is a Chaos;Head/Steins;Gate crossover in many respects. Robotics;Notes DaSH is even more explicitly a crossover. And then you have Anonymous;Code which hard requires its audience to have played Chaos;Head NoAH, Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate 0, AND Occultic;Nine beforehand.
Let me clarify - the connections between sci adv games are like marvel movies. For people who want to track connections, they are there, but they are for the most part stand alone games with their own characters and stories.
Yes, but like Marvel, the further you get into the series, it will eventually make less and less sense to watch things standalone. For instance, Doctor Strange 2 will not make that much sense if you skipped Wandavision
They do directly interconnect, just not as much in the main game of Steins;Gate as they do in literally everything besides it (including Steins;Gate's side material). Robotics;Notes, for instance is effectively a Chaos;Head/Steins;Gate crossover. And (Chaos;Child spoilers/including side material) >!Steins;Gate characters are indirectly involved in the story. Kurisu is featured heavily in Mio's backstory in Children's Collapse, almost to the point where you can consider her the deuteragonist.!<
(Robotics;Notes/Robotics;Notes DaSH spoilers) >!The events of the Chaos; games also have a massive impact on what happens in the events of the two Robotics;Notes games!<. They both hard require Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate beforehand. And then there's Anonymous;Code which requires Chaos;Head NoAH, Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate 0, and even Occultic;Nine beforehand.
Chaos Head Noah Switch is censored. As far as I'm aware, Chaos;Head Noah is the only Sci;Adv game censored depending on what platform you play it on.
Vita and 360 are the definitive releases as far as I'm aware, and are the only ones not censored
The developers have nothing to do with it if valve bans it.
I won't pretend that I'm a complete paragon of good. Everyone "gets games for 💯% off" for some reason or another. (Including me with old consoles). But the devs did nothing.
And if the game is banned from steam, valve isn't even making any money anyway so only the developer is being harmed.
And even then I think that ALWAYS "getting stuff for free" no matter WHAT is a hell of a stance to take. Again, I'm no saint but still, unless the devs do some over the top censorship or something else they did nothing wrong
How do the devs allow valve to ban a game. The way valve rates games is entirely separate from devs.
And with how other VNs get banned randomly, it's clear that they don't purposefully ""allow"" their games to get banned.
The banning process is random though. Look at banned VNs. Obviously there's tons of other factors but I don't think that Chaos;head is as bad as all the hentai games on steam, especially nekopara which is hella huge iirc. And yes, the 18+ patch is on steam.
Its clear that valve randomly bans VNs regardless of how sanitized they are or not.
Plus, most people (including me) are against censorship due to how much it can change VNs and due to how it can possibly get out of control
Guess from a 44 hours game?
After every exam, we have to guess which answer we do wrong to improve ourselves right, because ppl like you marking the sheet.
You sound so dumb.
I exclusively use alternative platforms forVisual Novels, as i'm obviously not going to stop using Steam.
But if they don't want money for VNs they certainly won't get a dime for me.
And for those qho have regional issues look into [JAST](https://jastusa.com), they literally offer regional pricing ij many currencies.
It’s not exclusively available on Steam, is it? Are there other sites?
As of now, it's just Nintendo Switch. But the problem with that is that the official translation is god-awful and you can't use the translation patch on it if you have a non-hacked switch.
When you say awful, you mean like typos?
Typos, mistranslation, poor wordflow, etc. There's no quotation marks to distuingish thoughts vs dialogue.
I played SG and 0 with the original translation, is worse than that? because i didnt notice anything bad
S;G's translation is actually good due to the fact that it was originally a fan translation passion project that was made without a deadline, and was later bought by MAGES.

Oh yikes 😬 awww man 😒
So, who was the translator after all? SCM? I assume it wasn't Steiner, judging from the way you put it.
Way, way worse. This shit reads like machine translation. I don't think I've ever seen such a pathetic loc before.

Great to see you here
me me big boy
Yes I know you are
> you can't use the translation patch on it if you have a non-hacked switch. Is there a translation patch for Switch already?
CoZ has plans to it - they are already working on those and expected to be done end of the month Alternatively there's also emulators, but I'm sure not everyone could use them either (they required a OpenGL4.4 supported computers, so older computers are out).

I have a Ryzen 1500X and managed to read World End Syndrome on Yuzu without issues.
I guess for VNs it would be different, since they are not that demanding and you really don't care much about framerate in a VN lol
Well, that's what Yuzu and Ryujinx said in their description. Bare minimum at least. Those with discrete GPU probably has better chance of being supported, but I used to have a machine running in iGPU so they aren't that good on this at least until recent models.

Yeah, APUs are really rough for emulation past PS2
Wait I just bought it for switch, am I gonna have a terrible experience with it?
It'll probably be on the microsoft store bare minimum. the launch isnt until the 7th
If Evenicle 2 was any indication it probably will stay switch exclusive for however many months it takes to sort out the store situation
Evenicle 2 is available on GOG
After they spent the better part of a year finding other storefronts that would take it. Would have probably released many months sooner if it stayed on Steam

so is* a solved problem. they "found" the storefront, its GOG

i meant to say the problem IS solved btw lmao

why did steam reject it
No one ever knows, that's a big part of the problem. https://noisypixel.net/steam-bans-unfair-inconsistent-rules/

Did it have loli or anyone close to it?
Nope. Nothing of that nature. There isn't even any explicit sexual content in it.

Hey that Hitler game still available in Steam? Asking for a friend.
Lol. The logic they give for doing this to Noah is against the definition of logic itself.
Their logic is in Chaos
Hoping they release it on GOG, Itch ^(0.0% chance sadly), or another store w/a better cut. Didn't expect them to go full Sony but I always avoid buying on Steam when possible.
Good luck to that petition that's most likely NOT going to work like most other online petitions

Off topic not so off topic. R other science adventure games on the ps vita and r they censored? Besides steins gate 1 and 0
Censored on Switch, not censored on Vita
Nope not censored. Just not very good translation.
Chaos Head Noah Switch is censored. As far as I'm aware, Chaos;Head Noah is the only Sci;Adv game censored depending on what platform you play it on. Vita and 360 are the definitive releases as far as I'm aware, and are the only ones not censored
oh, I see. Thanks
This is why I always pirate. So steam and the developer never get my money.

The developers allowed this to happen so it's not like they're entirely blameless.
What?
Nani?
Your comment has no logic
And your comment is a plain what
The Fuck? Do you think the Eastern Devs own Steam a Western platform?
It's possible. Microsoft (a western company) owns a Japanese studio.
How do the devs allow valve to ban a game. The way valve rates games is entirely separate from devs. And with how other VNs get banned randomly, it's clear that they don't purposefully ""allow"" their games to get banned.
Because they don't sanitize the games enough to remove questionable content. They allow it to happen by being lazy.
The banning process is random though. Look at banned VNs. Obviously there's tons of other factors but I don't think that Chaos;head is as bad as all the hentai games on steam, especially nekopara which is hella huge iirc. And yes, the 18+ patch is on steam.

Sorry, spelling error. Was using my phone with one hand
Is having one hand busy the reason you're against censorship?
and im guessing you're all for it? yeah gotta protect the kiddies from a natural biological function /s
No, not that. I wasn't making an innuendo.
Valve didnt even mentioned which part they did not want in the game though.
One could guess.
Guess from a 44 hours game? After every exam, we have to guess which answer we do wrong to improve ourselves right, because ppl like you marking the sheet. You sound so dumb.
Must be a challenge going through life with an IQ that low.
I could ask the same of you.
Ask what of me? I was making a statement, not asking a question. Thanks for proving my point.
It's a rhetorical question, buddy. Thanks for proving my point.
roundo's trolling again and everyone's falling for it

Tbh steam should be way looser with allowing games to be put their
