picked up Danganronpa 2 in the sale, and i know people have been talking about DR3 and the series in general in other threads...figured I'd put a thread up. I liked the first one quite a bit as a fun detective game but just first 2 hours or so of 2 seems like theyre gonna go big on the conceptual structure. wasnt sure how they would make a sequel but Im fully on board for whats happening so far. I just reached (midway Ch. 1) byakuya's death, which i figured would be the first one to go since he's clearly still the same dude from 1 and probably still has his memories. at least that was my guess. somebody wanted him smoked before he spilled the beans about the previous game, also, he was probably gonna die of heart failure soon anyway. Please be judicious with spoilers!!! and feel free to talk about Phoenix Wright, 999 series, whatever trash you just bought on steam that has really sugoi (japanese for cool) porn art in it...go hjog wild.

I'm still at the beginning of DR2 as well but I clicked the spoiler and it's exactly what I expected. There's gonna be more twists and turns later I'm sure.

Only other VN in my steam library is this one https://store.steampowered.com/app/347620/GaokaoLove100Days/ Where you have to decide between having a girlfriend and passing the college placement exams. I got it to practice my Mandarin listening skills since clicking "repeat line" and having an anime (technically manhua I guess) girlfriend is easier than futzing with audio CDs or youtube or whatever. The Steam reviews are full of Chinese guys saying "this is exactly what high school was like for me, except I never asked that girl out, I am filled with sadness and regret."

I picked up DR1 for vita a few months back and was looking to play it soon. now is as good a time as any with the thread here I haven’t really enjoyed the VNs I’ve played before, but I’m hoping this one hooks me. In the past I found I get tired of all the reading and bad writing so I start skipping the dialogue to get to the game parts, P4 Dancing All Night especially. Phoenix Wright I only enjoyed the courtroom scenes and almost none of the other crap Hopefully DR has a better mix of gameplay to reading

But it's also pretty funny, especially the side char stories

the first case in DR2 is pretty overwhelming, feels longer than most of the cases from 1 already and the new mechanics they added are sweet. i love the super theatrical presentation of these cases, with the constantly swirling camera and rapid fire cutaways etc. Shame they couldn't do it in one take so it would be art.

i like dr2 more than dr1 but i'm impressed they made all the minigames worse, including hangman's gambit, which seemed impossible to make worse but they did it by god

I mean there is a social link system ripped straight from Persona with the Free Time thing but it's pretty simplified and mostly just for you to get fun dialogue with the characters you like the most

Psyche Taxi is really dumb but the music gets me pumped .... sword battles probably remain my favorite

Just finished V3 and it was without a doubt the best one in the series. The naming is confusing but the anime "Danganronpa 3" is a totally different story than the game "Danganronpa V3"

Vague spoilers both characters kind of fill similar roles though, with Kokichi as , like, a subversion of Nagito. I haven't thought about it too much but I feel like all the other V3 characters have similar reverse analogues

Also , I think this qualifies for the purpose of this thread, how did y'all like Pyre? I only just finished the second liberation rite so no big spoilers please but I'm really enjoying it so far, just worried the structure might get repetitive. I'm impressed at how much dialogue seems to have been written into the game though -- feels like they accounted for a LOT of different permutations of choices and I also can't think of the last time I played an ensemble-based game like this where I was actually legitimately interested in each of the party members. Maybe the original KOTOR? I've seen hints that something similar to the Bastion modifiers (runes or idols or whatever they were called) that give you increased difficulty for increased reward exist and I'm hoping I unlock those soon -- the structure of the rites is really cool but the AI can't really seem to put up a fight so far.

You have to deal with fairly easy AI for a while but I do promise they step up their game E: oh wait you’ve already seen the liberation rites. Then yeah the way the game structures the ‘seasons’ is really interesting, and making you pick which of your best heroes to free is a really hard choice. It makes you spend more time with characters you might not normally use, which makes then sending them away an even tougher decision!

I really like the idea that the nicest thing you can do for a character you like is free them and lose them from your party forever ..... I freed the Imp first, it seemed like he had been waiting the longest  miss him thoedit: also I don't trust the minstrel and i don't trust sandalwood 😒😒 but we shall see...... gonna go play some more right now
