The fat weeaboo is kinda hot. His legs are too skinny and his crotch is not fat enough though.

Don't worry, I "borrowed" it.

I watched the animu, and it wasn't that bad, but I felt no desire to play the games whatsoever and I'm not sure why.

Haha I think the word you're looking for is pretentious

That about sums it up for me. Way too much unrealistic anime bullshit in the middle to the end.

I liked the music a whole lot, also Kirigiri's hips are the best thing in the entire god damn game universe, in my humble opinion.

It's a Japanese game, what do you expect. Remove the waifufaggotry pandering from them and you're left with a 6/10 game most of the time.

what were you expecting?

one of the best mystery games i played, hands down, kept me guessing the entire way through.

it's like deadly premonition, but anime.

it doesn't even take itself seriously, look at all of the jokes during the trials.

i needed to pause the game just so i could laugh during the great moments.

even though i saw it coming i was surprised.
i agree with that hope vs despair thing being kinda annoying and pointless though.

it's an anime mystery game, don't expect planescape torment level writing.

the music was absolutely 10/10, i hope we can agree on that though.

Didn't we have this thread before? I'm pretty sure I've seen this same exact image and kinda the same complaints, like, two times in a month.

DR2 > DR1 > DRAE > DR3 Anime

I don't get it either. It's a great series, but not the best. Don't really see what's worth complaining about.

No arguments there, though I will say I thought DR1's shitty ending was slightly less shitty than DR2's shitty ending.

DR1 is the only DR game worth a dollar.
It is largely built on the corpse of the true game: DISTRUST

Scenario, executions etc. all come from the original source material that was changed for stupid animu gayman #96XXX and it shows.

Junko is a usurper who had extra god tier level charm and simply pretends to be a mastermind when in reality she's just using the inventions of students and the resources of the school itself, which is all implicit in the props, Monokuma's eye, the school emblem, and Monokuma's stupid dialogue faux pas about an air purifier somehow "creating oxygen" etc.


Later games make Junko the old guy from Saw, which makes sense since this stupid series was inspired by that stupid series. However, the idea that the outside world was actually post-apocolyptic (with Monokuma Lady Liberty, Tokyo Tower, etc.) is clear BS, just like how Junko said the outside had toxic air which would destroy the protagonists if they left the school.


Junko is not a great mastermind but an outright lunatic with a Black Water Merc for a sister, and it's obvious from everything in the game that she simply used her sister (and the security systems of the school) to kill everybody and make her own death game show.

But I could go on about this. No point.
Point is: DR2 is self-referential trash that is only "interesting" because it exists as a sequel to the first game. And the ambiguous ending of DR1 is preferable to Junko's wild retard ride not only being proven true in DR2 but also JUNKO AI RESURRECTION WHAT it was stupid.


Danganronpa is an embarassment to mystery visual novels and pic related is WAY better in every way, but in terms of grit and dark humor, DR1 at least bears the bones of DISTRUST, which would have been objectively better than what we ended up with (especially the fairy tale anime stupidity and the retarded Despair Girls).

DISTRUST

Danganronpa's creators were cowards with the first game and then dorks with the rest of the series for not just making the original concept to begin with.

Dead Rising 1 is better than 2.

Junko is one of the core problems of the series, yes. However, you're wrong on everything else. Danganronpa is unique in the sense that it's a mystery game that takes the formula and does something different with it. It has the generic anime style, but it OWNS it. Oddly, the generic style is what I feel separates itself from the rest of the genre. If the developers did end up going with DISTRUST, I feel like it would have only left a fraction of the impression that Danganronpa left and would be one of those oddities that never leave Japan.

In terms of being a sequel, DR2 is a superior game to DR1. The gameplay is improved except for "Improved" Hangman's Gambit, the characters are interesting, the cases are great. The only weakness that I'd argue that DR2 has is its plot, which is, mostly, because of Junko. Basically, not every mystery game needs to have this gritty atmosphere in order for it to be enjoyable, look at the Phoenix Wright games. They're even sillier than Danganronpa and it's great.

V3 is coming out in Japan soon, and it's supposedly going to take place in a new continuity, so no Junko. Maybe give the series another chance when that comes out. Or wait until it's localized if you're a faggot like me.

we've all heard of it before, haven't we.

that being said, drv3 is supposedly going to be the most "horror" of the danganronpa games.

i think that means that we will see more distrust in drv3 now, which is absolutely great.


does that mean it is a reboot?
sorry, im slow when it comes to this stuff

Holy shit go back to fucking tumblr you faggots

You're going to have to explain your line of reasoning with this one.

The only reason you prefer distrust over the final game is because that game doesn't exist, so it can be anything you want inside your head, but if there is anything worse than animu gaymen shit is edgy weeb drama played straight. Sure exceptions exist, but the quality of the writing doesn't magically improve with a different tone, so I dont see this being one of them, the few interesting ideas mostly ended in the final product except the multiple branches, that again, is only cool in ones head but in reality would be just a bunch of early game overs like in the Zero Escape series. That being said, fuck the devs for wanting to appeal to a bigger demographic

I guess you could call it that. We don't know if it's taking place in the future after the Hope's Peak saga has ended, or if it's going to take place in a different timeline all together yet. Things are definitely different from the previous games in terms of lore that's for sure.


I'm assuming he's one of those retards who think that if tumblr likes something then it's automatically shit.

Is popular in tumblr so DR>tumblr=tumblr>DR, is literally faulty reasoning

the creators also said that the theme is no longer hope v despair, it is now lies v truth.

sounds hype af bro.


on a different note,
anyone have that tweet of the spike chunsoft pr director at a board meeting talking about porting drv3 to pc?

V3 already has a couple of best girls in it despite us knowing next to nothing about most of them.

I'd argue that writing quality generally does improve when you're writing in a tone you want to use, as opposed to a tone you think will simply shift more units.

You're right user! I mean god, who could the killer possibly be?! This is such a difficult puzzle!

Your average Nipponian would have just saw a bunch of numbers you nigger.

To be fair, that was the very first case wasn't it?

I'd rather have something like this where the translation makes it too easy than shit like 999's "Find the door marked with a kyu" that doesn't translate at all.

Puzzle? You're implying you have to do any thinking instead of just clicking on shit and letting the mystery solve itself because you can't even fail or lose?

...

I find it strange how danganronpa spurs user to state how much they hated it. I mean, I get why one wouldn't like it, but complaints are so recurrent.

They are all in fact bad, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and consider you're talking about the first game's adaptation, not DR3. That shit broke new ground in being terrible.

Holla Forums wants you to think everyone hates it so you leave because its not western

Look at this retard.

That's the stupidest goddamn thing I've ever heard.

You best be baiting faggot.

well yeah. Holla Forums is a board full of very stupid people

It's not that, newfag, it's that everyone treats Holla Forums like a boogeyman.

stay fursecuted faggot

Kind of a reach there, isn't it? Couldn't thing of anything a little more topical?

I find it very topical. Holla Forums is very much like furries in being incapable of handling the bantz.

how is it not topical? Holla Forums is literally the furries of fullchan. funny considering shitler is a failed artist

I'm pretty sure the furries are the furries of 8ch. Though nobody mentioned Holla Forums or anything related to it until so maybe it's not so much Holla Forums but anons still afraid of them.

...

>I swear I'm not a furry! All of YOU are furries!

wuh oh, guess the jig is up! /tumblrpol/ internet defense force has bested me again

So now you've switched from furries to tumblr?

How about we actually discuss the games and not argue about Holla Forums?

The sight of that whore makes my blood boil.

It was fine until you could attribute mentor's ghost to Phoenix's imagination/inner voices, but once it actually played into the cases there was no way back.
One of my biggest disappointments in the entire industry.

Why? Because she's a MonokumaNazi?

See, that's where the divide is. Danganronpa was at its best for people like me when it was dark humor not "silly shenanigans". The executions were a perfect example of this, with the "Mondo Butter" nonsense likely being something shoved in at the latter stages considering everything else. The kind of humor that has a baseball star getting pumelled to death with homerun strikes - that's DISTRUST.

The kind of humor that has a volcano used as a frying pit, or a guy speeding into butter, or a crazy broad having an orgasm on a rocket-powered arm - that is Danganronpa, or what it really embraced, anyway.


I'm more in line with this user
Just like with Pheonix Wright, the moment Danganronpa veered full-on with "silly" was the moment it lost me, and as the series went on it only got worse.
It has its moments (moreso Write than Dangan because "I tried to put mommy back together" is RAW) but that's just how it is.


And I think you greatly underestimate the power of replayability. A DISTRUST game where each case is determined even in-part by the bonds you've been forming with the others and thus would affect the outcomes and trials is incredible compared to the linear story we got. It would have been an insane amount of work, programming and writing etc., but it would have produced a game that is simply unmatched when it comes to murder mystery immersion.

For that alone it would have been widely embraced. Anime shenanigans could stay, but keeping things more grounded would have saved the game big time, especially when it comes down to the inconsistency in the writing.

a few scenes later
WHAT

Also Kirigiri
oh okay

I'll look into it, but I won't expect much. We already know from promo art that the robot kid will be the protagonist and the blond girl will be some sort of twist-protagonist

Maybe where the "protagonist" ends up being on trial for a murder they actually did commit, then they die and it passes over to the robit.


Considering the cast, I'm not holding my breath, but it would be cool.
The variation thing would really sell me.

Because we remember what it COULD have been and even what it WAS at one point.
Then they ruined it.
Then DR3 came out and made sure you know they ruined it. Permanently.

You guys ready for Monaka SFM porn?

I don't know why I was replying to that with this.

Hey, I was Just as disappointed as you when I realized the Liberation Maiden game on the PS Vita wasn't actually a game, but a VN.

this Series never reached it's true potential and never will because the creators are a bunch of cowards, Junko could have been a great villain but they overplay her so hard and so much that she became a annoyance, same thing with monokuma. The anime destroyed whatever hope there was left with a Bullshit storyline and a happy ending.
