[allenby]

Since I had some extra time cause of my internet connection acting weird, I finally gave in and played ChaoS;HEAd in the past few days... got the AA ending yesterday and I do plan on going for route B buuuut maybe not right now >_>; (I heard B ending is sadder so I'm afraid of seeing it

:O Sounds good! Now I want to try the game out. If only I don't have so many other games/VNs I want to play >_>

Too bad the Xbox 360 is not region free. I so want to play some of the Japanese games! (Especially Otomedius since the first time I saw it in Japan)

In fact the reason why I didn't get a 360 yet is that I want to get japanese version >_<; Besides buying PAL version would be really stupid seeing how most of the games that I care about don't even arrive in Europe ^^;

I haven't really played any other visual novel (even though I still want to play Clannad) so I'm not really sure of how this compares to the others. There aren't really many choices to make, except the delusion triggers things that happen pretty often, but I do think the atmosphere is really great :O In the end maybe I have to thank Mad House and the crappy anime for making me want to check the VN? If the anime was good I would've stuck with it probably! XD

Btw, how long is a route in Chaos;Head? In Clannad each route it took me so long to finish each story... Watching the anime now I always felt like things are so compressed :o

Hmm, I honestly really don't know how long it took cause it didn't have a gameplay timer, and on the save files it only lists date and time ><
Anyway, I spent several hours on each chapter and it's 10 chapters total, so I would say maybe 20-30? Not sure :o It also depends on reading speed I guess XD I didn't use the english patch so I was reading a bit slower than I would if it was in english, but I also didn't wait to hear the voice lines in full at times DX So I'm really not sure XD

Anyway from what I understood, first time you can only get the A or AA ending (the choice for it is at the very end so can just save and watch both in a row basically), then by finishing it B route is unlocked, but the story stays the same till the last 2 chapters or so? And that's all I think D: The 360 version should have new routes for each girl from what I've read though :o

Anyway from what I can see the anime is really going fast forward through it and skipping important details >< I'd say that they're doing about 1 episode for each chapter right

I'd say that offline games with their limited play time are much less dangerous that mmorpgs and online stuff that you end up playing for hundred of DAYS instead of hours :p
