codeorange posted:Hanamaru's character is pretty drat believable to me, as I was once friends with someone in highschool who was just as perverted and immature when it came to woman as he was. We parted ways after year 9 when the school we were going to closed down. The last I heard of him that he literally tried to do anything to impress girls, including doing pushups in front of them and saying "ladies Yeah, people need to remember that guys like Hanamaru not only exist but are pretty common out there in the world. In general, goons gettin' mad about sex being mentioned at all is pretty distressingly par for the course.

". He wasn't a bad guy at all however. And yes, he did obsess over his hair now that I remember it. Hanamaru would be the most pathetic character in the game if nothing else.

lotus circle posted:She plotted to and would have succeeded if Leon wasn't faster and it was pretty clear she wanted to frame Naegi for it We really need an emoticon for just slowly passing your hand over your head. I feel like that's a niche that needs filling. Anyway I can't overstate how much I'm looking forward to Cholesterogami. Oren's playing games with our emotions saving him for last, since I'm assuming with the hub style you can meet these clumps of dudes in whatever order. I hope the twist is that the Togamis had five sons and then named them all Byakuya so that they'd develop good, healthy personality syndromes.

Heck the game even tried to paint Leon as a victim of the situation, until Celes pointed out that he could have just left Maizono in the bathroom alive. I'm hoping this time the first murder won't be "oh someone had to kill due to a situation" and we actually get someone who would be ok with getting rid of everyone else just to escape.

Lethemonster posted:I'm enjoying the story in the DR0 segments but the way it's written isn't too great. The tenses seem to clash alot, and it doesn't read very naturally at all. Translated Japanese literature is just... kind of like that in my experience. I picked up Battle Royale because it's one of those buzzword titles that floats around all the time and it was really hard to read after going through the Anglicization mill. I'm in total agreement, though. I'm a little bit of a writer, for what its worth, and DR0 is just super-alien and jarring to me. Nothing's paced the same and there's a whole lot of short, blunt sentences. It almost feels like it's written for a child (despite all the horrible murdering).

Fedule posted:We don't actually know a drat thing about Mukuro Ikusaba other than what she said or let slip when masquerading as Junko. And even then, we don't know what her game was, or what she knew, or the extent of her involvement in SHSL Despair, or even whether she was actually antagonistic to the group. One thing's for sure: she sure didn't expect Junko to decide to kill her. What else wouldn't she have expected? She also spoke pretty confidently that at least most of them were going to get out, not to mention the conversation with Naegi about how she wanted to try new things (read: stop being a soldier). My read on Mukuro is that she was /just about/ to turn over a new leaf and settle down in a nice, less shooting-people kind of thing, and was pretty much duped by Junko into coming along for the express purpose of being killed so that she could 'feel the despair' of murdering her own sibling.

I'm going to have to accept that I'm just never going to get used to the Japanese writing style. I can see that it's coherent but I can't help but parse it as a mess all over the place. Meanwhile, I really can't wait to see Sonia in a trial. She's got an interesting combination of naivete about the micro things and a cold understanding of the macro that's going to have her bringing a real unique perspective on things. likecnsnnts posted:Ah, so the levels of moderation go Probation -> Ban -> Public Shame It's more like Public Shame -> Probation -> Public Shame -> Ban -> Public Shame -> 100,000 Hour Probation.

Cornwind Evil posted:Oh, you poor, stupid, STUPID bastard. You really don't have a clue do you? You might be a SHSL Gangster, but I doubt you've ever shed a drop of blood, let alone taken a life. You have underlings for that. Your life has probably been nothing but learning how to posture and perform, to project the image of merciless power. But you're too young to have killed your soul yet, child. I can see it in your ultra-aggressive loner, wannabe badass attitude. I suspect that even if you did try to kill someone, you wouldn't be able to go through with it. Your life is too much talk and not enough walk. This post is really weird. You know that the game is coded and done, and talking directly to the imaginary people inside it won't accomplish anything, right?

HangedManArcana posted:Yeah, it's sort of like when someone yells at the screen in a horror movie "You idiot! Don't open the door!" Or stuff like that. It's part of the immersion of the game. The analysis is based on nothing. We've had very little insight into his character except that A) he is willing to tell 15 people that he is willing to kill them, but B) is apparently intelligent enough to back down when faced with Togami's overwhelming body. That's all we know.

MonsterEnvy posted:He is a cook. He's not really full of himself as he explained he just thinks Chef sounds better, he likely does not know the meaning of the word chef or what they do. The super-high school level cook probably knows the difference between a cook and a chef. Keep in mind he's not saying '<japanese word for cook> sounds way less dignified than <japanese word for chef>'. He's just saying 'chef'. Is there a difference in the Japanese language/culinary culture between cook and chef?

curiousCat posted:It seems clear that the air conditioner was used to overload the circuit breaker? Which... is another strike against Nagito. I think it'd be an interesting twist if Nagito was an accomplice, but not the perpetrator, of every single murder. I'm not going to even try to fathom why he'd be that way outside of being this cast's plant for Despair, it'd just be interesting from a story perspective. muike posted:I'd agree with you about the blood pattern poo poo if it was a picture of a real dead dude and not an artistic representation of a fat murdered anime. This game's pretty good about visual details actually mattering. It looks more like Togami just kind of bled all over the knife he was attempting to retrieve as opposed to being stabbed with it - the murderer definitely got him from under the floorboards. I'm liking Teruteru for it (though I think he's loving hilarious) - he's not in any of the pictures, looks like he might be small enough to wiggle around under the floorboards, and has a convenient 'I was cooking' alibi that I don't think anyone can prove or disprove as things stand right now.

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be nearly as much useless chaff this time around, just things like Souda being wrong, Gundam occasionally being a wizard, and Ibuki's Ibukiing. I was actually surprised by how calm and logical Gundam's showing himself to be. He's so nuts it looped right back around. I'm excited to see any other new mechanics in the vein of the counterargument swordfight.

loquacius posted:Uh. Yeah, I guess? I wasn't talking about the blue text, just the points where (and I quote) "other people in the trials are capable of disputing your points." Counterargument Showdowns, as I am now reminding myself they are called. It is not literally impossible for anyone else to ever say something right, no. (That wasn't true in DR1 either.) Just when they disagree with the player avatar. I would not be surprised if somewhere way down the line a Counterargument ends with the other party actually being correct. Now that we have the mythical power of 'agreeing', the world is possible.

I'm glad that the timbre of DR2's story is going to be dramatically different from DR1's. Because, you know, it's still impossible for Nagito to have killed Togami, even though he is the villain.

Cornwind Evil posted:Until we get more details about how and why Nagito is nuts, then yes, it seems like he might very well have indirectly caused all this because...well, see for yourself. He contradicts himself, encourages everyone to just give up and die, that it would be better to die than accuse your friends...in the end, he might be doing all this because he's batshit insane and that might as well be no reason, because there's 'no reason' in it. He's the Despair or some variation on it, which is almost 'is insane' but puts at least some kind of rationality in it. I don't think he's the Monobear controller, I think something deeper is going on there, but I'm absolutely certain Nagito intentionally set the stage for someone to get murdered and is going to continue to try and do that from here on in. The openly antagonistic presence is really going to punch the story up a fuckload of notches. Remember, being an accomplice only serves no point if you're actually concerned with whether or not you live or die. EDIT: Don't buy slowbeef a DR avatar, we torture him enough

Armanky posted:I think they meant this as a reason for him going down into the crawlspace in the first place, not so much the murder itself (which has been clearly established as having taken place on the floorboards). Apparently it's really cramped down there, and the skewer was pretty big. Any hole he made he'd probably be right next to, and right here is when I realized we are now legitimately discussing the viability of Hanamura just scrambling around under the cabin creepin' like a master and I got sad. It's worth mentioning that his ego would still get soothed because you can probably hear everything down there. I'm coming on the camp of 'Hanamura lost his poo poo when he saw Byakuya Fisher from below', though I'll admit the bloody tablecloth weakens the case. I doubt Hanamura threw that on to go peeping so that nobody would recognize him, because come on.

Spatula City posted:I don't really recall anything that supports the idea that Hanamura was in the crawlspace for a reason other than murder. I am completely certain that this was premeditated on Hanamura's part, that he did mean to kill someone, and meant also to get away with it. 'He is a huge pervert.' It's not like a sidejoke with him, it's so all-encompassing that I can see it completely motivating all kinds of actions on his part.

Irony Be My Shield posted:That case was really good, I hope all of them are up to that standard. I'll be honest, as awesome an idea as Ishida was, from a storytelling standpoint and what was actually done with it it was a hot mess. There's no real evidence he didn't just go super-insane and I don't recall a whole hell of a lot happening that wouldn't've happened without the Ishida bit. I'd be perfectly happy not seeing the 'channeling' thing happen again. Also the 'imitation' thing is basically pure meta, when Nagito starts doing things he's a dramatically different character from both Naegi and Junko. All that stuff was just setup for the Trial 1 'oh he's loving batshit' reveal.

If it's not one thing, it's another. Do we really need pages and pages of hue and cry every time something like this happens? The sensible thing to do is to just PM a top-level moderator about the ads and see what they have to say - popping off repeatedly in the thread is going to do nothing but fill it with annoying poo poo for people to scroll through wondering if there's anything of substance yet. I can't wait for six posts from now where someone comes in to talk about a banner ad spoiler without reading the thread to see that everyone is already in lunatic histrionics about it.
