Huh. I need to watch that. Also, I'm pretty sure that a previous attack on Monomi was a reference to HEAVANSU DOOA from Jojo Part 4.

She is kind of the source of their whole problem, being the person who ostensibly kidnapped and memory wiped them in the first place. Pretty much the only time she's actually helpful to them is when she's not around which makes her highly suspect. Monokuma's at least honest and straightforward with wanting them to kill each other and setting things up to make that happen ![]()

They could suspect her of being the good cop to Monokuma's bad cop, and find the false niceness even more repellent than Monokuma's openly dickish behavior. And even with being the most charitable view that she's just genuinely trying to help, she comes across as just staggeringly incompetent from losing control to Monokuma and her subsequent humiliating makeover, horrible sense of timing and lack of spine, and more importantly: how despite her attempts, people keep dying. You don't get an honorable mention ribbon for trying if failure means someone's dead.

I haven't played this game, but it really surprises me that people say it's better than the first one. FPzero is doing a real good job showing it all off, and it seems like it kind of sucks? I guess there's probably lategame stuff that makes people say that, but so far I really don't like the cast or the plot as much as the first game's.

Thinking about it, this is exactly how I felt when I first played the game. I remember being a little disappointed in these first few cases as well. It has been a few years now since I last played the game, this is making me wonder if the rest of the game is as good as I remember. I know there are moments in this game that I definitely like better than the first, but I guess I will see if it holds up overall once this is done.

I greatly prefer the first one, I just think it makes a lot more sense and gives better reasons for the murders and such. I mean what have we had so far First one. Cook. Turns out he was not entirely like how he pretended to be, as a mum loving heavily accented nutjob, so you don't really see it coming much. Eh, whatever, he was a creep anyway and it's only the start Peko. Ok.. turns out.. she was also nothing like how she pretended to be at all either, and most of her personality you seem to learn about from events was just an outright lie I guess? .. yay? Third. Mikan. .. .. starting to notice a bit of a trend here y'know. Monokuma infects her with a disease which brings back her memories or something, and essentially renders her a completely different person. Murder physics/timescale bullshit intensifies and starts to strain what thin credulity the game already has given the over the top nature of it It just never really feels like there are good reasons for half the stuff happening. It all just comes out of the blue and.. I dunno, just feels weird and annoying. Instead of the first one where sometimes their ultimate skills come into play and let them pull off some ludicrous stuff that only they can do, you instead have Mikan, who is apparently the MacGyver of murder and convenient timing, and doesn't use her ultimate nurse ability at all really.. in fact, the very thing that gives her away is when she stupidly tells them a false cause of death and uses her knowledge of heat affecting the time of deaths to.. further incriminate herself?.. that's like the opposite of showing off her expertise Admittedly some of this is rose tinted glasses, there is some weird crap in the first game as well, but it still just feels a lot more grounded and reasonable most of the time I think. I think I mostly just dislike that practically every trial just involves someone having a complete personality shift.. it's like everyone is trying to be Toko or something

Yeah, I don't like this game much either compared to the first. Everything has been taken to far over the top. Most characters are just completely over the top nuts, compared to the first game which had a lot more normal-seeming characters. Without enough normal characters around, dealing with people just becomes too tiresome. It also doesn't help that the devs have thrown plausibility for the murders out the window with really absurd timings and impossible feats.

But in Peko's case it was mostly an accident. The killing. Then they tried to cover it up. I like this game more because of the trial parts. They are mostly better. Consent is a great thing, you know. I don't like hangman though. I wish it was like normal hangman instead of what this game makes it. I like the gameplay more. Much more. I like Hajime and Chiaki a lot. They're my favourite characters.

Blademaster_Aio posted:But in Peko's case it was mostly an accident. The killing. Nnnno. Not at all. They sent notes to two people to lure them to the crime scene, drugged one and planned to frame her for the murder they fully intended to commit, and they had a murder weapon on hand. The only "accident" is that Peko leapt out and used the bat to kill before Kuzuryu could reach it. It's hard to get more premeditated than that.

Chapters 4 & 5 are my favorite in this game, but I can't say they'll completely turn your opinion around on the whole piece. DR2 definitely feels different from the first game, although I will say that as the cast gets smaller there's more time for character moments for them to grow on you.

The only "accident" is that Peko leapt out and used the bat to kill before Kuzuryu could reach it. It's still an accident. Even if they planned it from the start, Peko still jumped in and made the kill herself, which was different from the original plan they had. Basically I meant, that Fuyuhiko was calling the shots but at the end he didn't make the kill. So in that case, while Peko was the killer according to Monokuma's laws, it's not like it was 'because she was completely different' or some such. At any rate, I'm sure they were expecting Fuyuhiko to be the killer and Peko was expecting that too. Except it was her. I do think, after the overall revelation happens I started seeing this game in a different light, but I'll stop right here.

The roller coaster feels like it's going to be involved in either the next murder, or as the next punishment. Also seconding that Mechamaru's clock is going to be involved somehow. Feels like revealing the clock at breakfast and then the tea/soda dispensers at the 4th island would have hidden that better. Then again, who knows? Maybe the tea and soda will be important. Somehow.
