Robotics;Notes DaSH:

Das Visual Novel ist so schlecht, dass man Leuten unmöglich erklären kann, dass 2-3 der besten Visual Novels vom selben Studio kommen.

Die 20% in denen es nicht um nackte Tussis geht, sind nach wie vor nett.
Dazu gehört der Anfang, bei dem ein richtig positives Gefühl aufkommt, wenn man den 1. Teil gespielt hat.
Alle sind wieder da, die Stimmung ist wieder dieselbe. Der Soundtrack und die Bilder wunderschön.

Und dann kommt Dash.
Dash ist 29! Jahre alt ist laut eigener Aussage verheiratet und hat Kinder und steht auf nackte Frauen. Offenbar egal welche, denn es ist auch ein 14! jähriges Mädchen dabei, dem ständig in den Schritt geguckt wird. Leider auch aus Sicht des Spielers. Und genau da ist der große Unterschied zu Frau Koujiro. Die hat in 50% der Gespräche das Thema auch auf sexuelle Themen gelenkt. Aber A: es war immer überzogen und lustig. B: Man wusste ehrlichweise nie, ob sie es ernst meint.

Bei Dash ist beides eindeutig nicht vorhanden.
Er zieht sich ja extra eine Brille auf, um alle nackt zu sehen... für den Spieler ist das nur so leicht zensiert wie nötig. Bei... u.A. einem 14 jährigen Mädchen.

Es wird einem so ins Gesicht gedrückt, dass man es auch nicht einfach ignorieren kann. Es ist das Hauptaugenmerk des Spiels. Nackte Mädels.
Der Grund, warum das so unendlich nervig ist:
Visual Novels sind normalerweise verseucht mit ihrem peinlich schlechten Eroge Mist.
Steinsgate hatte das beinah gar nicht. Zumindest so dezent, dass ich mich nicht dran erinnern könnte.
Robotic Notes 1 hatte es nicht. Chaos;Child hatte es nicht.
Alle Spiele haben sich extrem ernst genommen. Sie waren nicht immer "ernst" sie konnten sehr wohl auch unbeschwert und lustig sein. Aber nie lächerlich.
Und dann kommt Robotics;Notes DaSH und hat quasi nur diesen einen Zweck. Nackte Mädels.. und ne dumme Story.

Ich habe keine Ahnung, wer das für ne gute Idee gehalten hat, aber ich hoffe, dass derjenige bald in den Knast wandert.
Famitsu hat das Spiel mit 31/40 bewertet..
Falls jemand mal wieder ein Beispiel braucht, warum man Testern keine Aufmerksamkeit schenken braucht.
31/40 von der Famitsu für Pedophile paradise. Ekelhaft.

nunca pensé que este día llegaría y si le dijera al yo del pasado que se demoraría 3 años en terminarlo no me creería, pero al fin logré terminar esta cosa... ha sido de las cosas más pesadas y tediosas que he tenido que hacer, no solo porque tuve que reiniciar 2 veces mi partida. la primera porque yo fui de esos que preordeno la edición física para switch (la versión día 1) y fue ahi donde termine Robotics;Notes y empecé DaSH, pero por cuestiones personales vendí mi switch unos 2 años después sin haberlo terminado, luego intente retomarlo en pc, pero al formatear mi pc se me olvido que lo tenía instalado y perdí todo, sino porque esta vn es una de las más aburridas que he leído y por ello cada vez que lo retomaba lo dejaba por varios meses sin tocar por lo pesado que se me hacía, al menos el primer robotics;notes aún con mi opinión de él al menos tenía motivación por terminarlo, pero con DaSH todo lo contrario, pero al final en algún momento tenía que terminar esto debido a mi estupida politica de "todo lo que empiezo lo termino" y vrga man, no me había sentido asi leyendo algo más que con Muv Luv

no entiendo como MAGES. saco esto. más allá de ser fanservice para intentar atraer a los fans de Steins;Gate y hacer a Kaito menos odiable, DaSH no aporta nada al sci;adv series más allá de sentirse como un capítulo de relleno de algún anime genérico, pero si al menos fuese entrete las historias que cuenta, pero no, ninguna realmente es sobresaliente. no entiendo como decidieron no solo desarrollar, sino que terminarlo y venderlo, pero en cambio con Ocultic;Nine ni siquiera se dignaron a terminar lo que prometieron y al final decidieron cancelarlo, de verdad usaste recursos para hacer una secuela de R;N que nadie pidió y que al final termino siendo mediocre en vez de terminar de una vez por todas Ocultic;Nine?

aunque sabes algo? admito que las últimas 2 horas si valió más o menos la pena ya que sin entrar en spoilers, la historia se pone más seria y toma el tono característico del Sci;Adv e incluso se deja explícitamente unas cuantas veces de que veremos más de los personajes de R;N en el futuro junto a los demas miembros del laboratorio (steins;gate) y esto significa que es demasiado probable que veamos de nuevo a estos personajes de alguna u otra manera en el Steins;gå̸̴̧̢͎͍̲̮̙̜̱̗̬̯͉̀̆̈ͤͭ͆͛ͅţ̶̴̸̠͙̣̠̭͙͇̥̰̩̙̊̈̀̄ͤ̄̓̄ͭ͑̋͡_̸̴̙͍̜̎͊ͥͥ̀̅̀͌͒̚͡e̷̵̢̢̨͙̝̯͙̥͎̼̠͙̜̟̩͈͍̤͎̱̤ͫ͑͛ͧ͒̈̓͑̀̓̋͡͞ͅ nuevo en el que anunciaron que estaban trabajando hace unos años, que será una historia con un MC y personajes completamente nuevos, aunque viendo cuanto se demoraron en terminar Anonymous;Code ni siquiera sé si seguiré existiendo en este mundo para leerlo

Robotics;Notes being my favorite Science Adventure entry, I was extremely excited to hop into this sequel spin-off... only to be met with some of the most irritating, unlikable, and egregious writing I've forced myself to read.

Daru is built to be an incredibly insufferable main character to experience a story through, constantly making jokes and objectifications at the female cast's expense for the first 50-75% of the story. General weirdo anime pervert BS, you know it when you see it and it's always ALWAYS grating.

Thankfully, the other 25%-50% of the story consisted of some really cool character arcs that stayed true and loyal to the characters in the original R;N. Subaru, Junna, and Akiho's routes served to continue their arcs, and did a really awesome job at questioning and exploring these characters. Nae's route gives us a little bit of her history prior to R;N and serves to bridge the gap between R;N and S;G, allowing Nae to pass the baton from the Lab Members to the Robotics Club.

The very end, though (The Last Phase, or "Itaru's Route") felt very plain and straightforward. Had some cool S;G fanservice tho ig lololol

but yeah in conclusion: Not Great

The final (for now) installment for me in The Sci;Fi Adventure series ends unfortunately with a whimper and not a bang. There are parts of this game I really do like, and it does set itself up for success really early on. The chill awesome cast of Robotics Note, and one of my favorite characters from Steins;Gate Daru? What could possibly go wrong? Unfortunately, they focus on all the worst tendencies of Daru early on, the writing is sloppy and all over the place and very hit or miss the most of the game. The "common" route is perhaps the worst out of any of Sci Fi adventure game yet. Thankfully, Aki's ending and the true ending do some heavy lifting to save this game from being a complete waste of time, and you do get some strong character moments from some fo the other side cast as well.

Techincally this game is a mess. It ran horribly on steam deck with constant crashes and even when switching to laptop I had issues on occasion, and was frustrating enough to make me consider dropping the game at a couple points.

Overall I do think it's worth playing, and clearly has some important stuff to set up for the future of this series, it's just unfortunately the weakest entry in a pretty great series overall. Bring on Anonymous;Code.

For reference my final rankings:

Steins;Gate>Chaos;Child>Robotics;Note>Steins;Gate 0> Chaos;Head> Robotics;Note Dash

Easily the most disappointing mainline SciADV game so far due to the story and the technical issues.

I'd say that DaSH is split up into 2 main halves. The first one being god awful and the second being pretty good.
The first half just takes the fun slice of life parts of the first Robotics;Notes and takes it to a whole new retarded level. It's filled with the most cringy pedo fanservice I've ever seen and it's basically just Daru cumming all over the island for 10 hours. I don't want to spoil anything so I'll just say that it takes the most dramatic elements from r;n and just says "fuck you how about I make it funny xd useless filler lmao".
The second half is a lot better though and ranges from on par to much better than the first r;n. It ties up some of the character arcs that were left unresolved and gives a nice conclusion to the somewhat unconclusive ending of the original.

Regarding technical issues, there are unfortunately a lot of them are localisation related.
There are a lot of typos in the game, even more so than the first r;n. Aside from this, there was also a name that wasn't translated at all which was missed when localising since it only appeared for 2 lines. This is 100% the fault of spike chunsoft rushing the localisation. From this interview (https://www.siliconera.com/roboticsnotes-localization-staff-discuss-preparing-elite-and-dash-one-after-another/) you can assume that DaSH's release was really rushed due to the two r;n games being released at once.
These next problems are only for the Switch version, I have no idea if there are similar issues on other platforms.
I experienced a lot of slowdowns where the framerate basically halves while there were 3 characters on screen or during some moments where they were messing around with some camera positions/effects.
Don't worry, I saved the worst issue for last. In the last (best) chapters of the game a character is reintroduced from the first game, but this charater's model's animations were somehow messed up and they were t-posing and nodding their head in a loop for the ENTIRETY of the game. As you might expect this is completely immersion breaking and ruins all moments with them on screen.


Overall, it was an okay experience if you ignore the first half of the game. The game is relatively short (only took 22 hours to beat for me) and this game is definitely not worth its 35 euro/dollar price, definitely wait for it to be on sale.
You should only play this game if you enjoyed the first r;n and would like to see more of the characters and if you can somehow drag your way through the cringe part. This could change in the future though as I will expect that this game will be referenced a lot in future SciADV titles.

8/10: stellar highs (and a few stumbles) in the R;N character writing
0/10: Daru. Just, why are you like this?
Rating: 4/10

I really came to like the Robotics;Notes cast, so another game to flesh them out even more and provide resolutions to the conclusion was right up my alley. Unfortunately, for a solid 80% of the game, Daru's there to indulge in his worst instincts and objectify any and every female he comes across in the most wife guy-ish way possible. I thankfully made it through the game (the conclusion is all right but the homages didn't do anything for me) but only with liberal use of the Force Skip and Log buttons.

Horrible. I played this one after ELITE when I got the switch bundle and it ruined so much of that story. It is mostly filler, with dialogue of what you would expect from filler. Just nonsense side plots about characters that already had their arch in the last game, and worst of all Daru. I hate Daru now. He has a wife and kid, and will not shut up about it, and he’s obsessed with lolis, he will not shut up about how he wants to fuck lolis so help me god. Genuinely the worst game I have ever played.

This was the last SCI ADV game I’ve played, and it really soured me on the series. Hopefully I will regain interest when I play the CHAOS games.
