Finished chapter 2 yesterday. Pretty good twist there at the end.

Now going to the supposedly from what I read, worst chapter in the game. I hope is not worst because someone of the really cool character dies or assassinates and only becuase its boring.

 

[Busaiku]

Spoiler

Mahiru noooo.

 

[johny_dmonic]

almost done with island mode finally. completed usami mini game already. three more trophies to platinum (all gallery, no damage, monokuma dolls)!

chapter 5 OMGWTFBBQ...


I wasn't wrong, but seriously...

Spoiler

If this had been on my seriously messed up PSP, I would be wondering if the first couple of surprises was my handheld or the game itself...

 

[Son of Cervantes]

Spoiler

Mahiru noooo.

Yeah, I was definitely expecting

Spoiler

Mahiru to be the Kyoko Kirigiri of this game. She seemed like someone with a good head on her shoulders (not a pun, ugh), and pretty serious-minded overall.

Actually thought Chapter 4 was worse though. Having said that, all the chapters were very enjoyable, there wasn't a single one which I found boring and wanted to end ASAP, so I wouldn't read too much into which chapter is worst.

 

[R_thanatos]

I'm playing this game and i hate it.

I mean i love it ..love the cast , love the jokes , love the easter eggs
love the music ..but i love the entire cast.. seeing them die is SO painfull DAMN IT
Anyway i guess i must continue.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Finished the game. Chapter 5 and 6 were absolutely crazy and despair inducing. So many feels.

Great game but fuck the later "Improved" Hangman Gambits. The PTA was also bad but with the right skills I could just use fever time to destroy all shields.

Great cast of characters. Now towards the spoiler thread.

Eh, Chapter 3 is pretty solid. The fourth chapter was easily my least favorite, probably in the whole series.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Now that I've finished the game I can safely enter both threads.

Great game but fuck the later "Improved" Hangman Gambits. The PTA was also bad but with the right skills I could just use fever time to destroy all shields.

Improved Hangman's Gambit was just terrible all together. It's the worst part of the game.

The ambient exploration and investigation tracks are hugely reminiscent of The Silver Case's OST.

I had a feeling the swimsuit was involved, but I never would have figured it for gravel inside.

Thanks!

 

[Imouto]

It's funny that I've seen people stuck at that part most of the time when I got it easily, while I got stuck at some of the easiest place of the game.

Chpt 3 Investigation:

Spoiler

Ah man, the deaths this time suuuuuuuck Not that Chpt 2 had a good death

Just hope the case isn't so easy to determine like Chpt 2

 

[dkoy]

Just finished the game.

Case 1:

Spoiler

omg Byakuya died?! Jeeeesus Nagito's a psycho

Case 2:

Spoiler

surprised that I actually felt something for Fuyuhiko and Peko at the end considering how late the twist was revealed. Well done writer-san

Case 3:

Spoiler

NOOOOO NOT IBUKI! and Saiyonji. WTF Mikan I really liked you D:

Case 4:

Spoiler

Mechamaru best. Aaaaaand he's gone. Was hoping they wouldn't pull another Ishimaru on us. Gundham/Mehamaru reason to fight was great though. Also Nagito, you're a fucking psycho.

Case 5:

Spoiler

I suspected Sonia throughout the case. And then came the killing twist. And then I cried inside when Chiaki was voted. Fuck you Nagito

Case 6:

Spoiler

What did my game snort to get so high that it reached Mars? Jesus that's one dark twist, did not expect the "you are the killers" route. Oh hey it's Junko, though I kinda expected that for some reason. And then DR1 characters came in. Execution was brilliant for the last parts

Epilogue:

Spoiler

Sooo...... I know they're hoping for a miracle and all but my first thoughts were for Mikan and Nagito. I mean, Nagito died trying to kill everyone and Mikan is... well....

DR IF:

Spoiler

Didn't know what Mukuro was like, but didn't expect her to be so dependant on Junko. Was pretty cool though

Man, what a ride this was. And, dare I say it, Mikan

Spoiler

pre-despair brainwashing

is best girl.

Spoiler

Though despair Mikan is ok too.

and the very last movie.

help me obi wan hajime. you're my only hope.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I'm one trophy away from the Platinum, the "watch every ending in island mode" trophy, which will be time consuming but easy.

I now remember why I stopped hunting for trophies years ago, waste of time but I really love Danganronpa 2 so I'm making an exception.

need some help with unlockables. i ned the 2 events after

Spoiler

the three who look back

and the very last movie. i know one of the events is an item event but not sure of the other one.

The final movie is from the novel, Danganronpa IF, you need to read it all.

thank you sir. how many endings are there in island mode?

 

[MSMrRound]

thank you sir. how many endings are there in island mode?

If you want that "View all island mode ending" thing, you can only max Usami love gauge with 5 characters per run, so you might be looking at 4 runs of Island Mode or so, since you might need the first one to raise some mining/cleaning levels for your characters. You need to view ending for all characters (max love gauge+complete Usami assignment, so that you can have the option to talk to the character you maxed your love gauge with to view their Island Mode endings).

Just finished chapter 5.

Chapter 2

Bah Mahiru is dead, suspected it would be a female after two males in chapter 1, but was hoping it'd be someone more boring like Sonia. I was curious about Mahiru. Ah well.

Thinking about it, Nagito is a fanatic of hope, more than that,

Spoiler

he died for the sake of hope

and yet,

Junko still managed to turn him to the dark side. That's crazy yo.

I'm sure most of you noticed but Nagito Komae(da) is

an anagram for Naegi Makoto, I seriously thought he was him at first since they were both the Ultimate Luck student.

Do I have to complete all the assignments to view a character's ending? Or is the love gauge and the hope fragments for one character enough?

Spoiler

Anagram was one of the first things I noticed about him, aside from similar voice, similar clothes and same talent. Was kinda disappointed there was nothing more to him and Makoto than what is seemingly coincidence. I mean, there was part of me thinking he was Makoto at some points. I still feel like there is more to learn about him.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

AFAIK you need to complete the assignments. Tho they become very easy once you get the tools+few levels and mass produce the item that heals everyone. At the end I'm just skipping the days by having everyone sleep/clean.

 

[Zonic]

Yes, you gotta complete the assignments to get more trip tickets. If you complete each one, you should be able to get 5 character endings for each playthrough. Your first time, though, focus on getting everyone leveled up and have a few people be your cleaners.

At the rate I'm at, it'll take me 2 more playthroughs (got 6 endings so far, was lucky & got Chiaki's during my first), totaling 4. I don't know why, but it feels like it's easier than School Mode in DR1. Maybe it's because I was actually able to make 1/2 the stuff on my first playthrough instead of just the first item & that was it.

 

[MSMrRound]

Do I have to complete all the assignments to view a character's ending? Or is the love gauge and the hope fragments for one character enough?

To beat Island Mode, you need all Hope Fragments gathered and possibly last assignment finished (just to be safe).

Try to finish the assignments though..you need those trip tickets that Usami usually reward you with.

Be sure to use trip tickets for the 5 characters you want to max out the love gauge with (you can check your level by talking to Usami)

 

[Zonic]

Last assignment doesn't need to be completed (compared to DR1's School Mode. Hmm, perhaps another reason why Island Mode feels easier), as I wasn't able to do it, but still got Chiaki's ending.

Mid chapter 4 trial and I can say this is my least favourite chapter by a country mile.

dat 999 reference in the investigation! Chapter 4 gets a lot of bonus points for that.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Ended up just going through chapter 6 directly after completing chapter 5.

I'm a wreck.
Just gonna wait for a guide or something for Island mode. My brain is too numb for this crafting whatever crud.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Beat the game last night.

Chapter 5 and 6 were crazy.

I loved the Zero Escape reference in Chapter 4.

Improved Hangman's Gambit was the worst gameplay mechanic for me.

Island Mode comes next, though I'm still missing one ribbon from the Usami Mode.

The victims for Chapters 1,2,3,4 were despair inducing for me. As were the deaths of the killers from Chapter 2, 4, and 5.

 

[Volcynika]

Yeah, my later runs were spending free days (after I had completed items required) making Jabba Hot Pots! The best. NO SLEEP FOR ANYONE EVER.

I played through the entire freaking game without ever figuring out what is the goddamn correct timing in that stupid new rhythm mini-game!!!! So frustrating!

What's up with that? Is it just broken?? I fully mastered the one in the first game, so I assume it is.

It confused the shit out of me too, and I didn't figure it out until the last trial. Instead of pressing the button each time in time with the music, you have to press the button on the beat once and hold it. While holding it, each time a statement pops up it will be highlighted, then when you release the button (on the beat) it will fire the bullets. You have to do the same thing to reload too.

Hold X. Don't let go. It will auto target statements. Let go on beat note to destroy statements. Hit Square on beat note to refill. Continue holding X.

Yea, don't tap it. Just hold X.

I did it the same way too. I tried tapping L1+X all the way till the end, then I found out it's actually so damn easy. D'oh.

Did you hold down it and let go? Because the big change was that you held it in to target and let go to fire

 

[antibolo]

Ah ok, I remember the explanation now.

In any case it was definitely inferior to the one in the first game.

Spoiler

Am I the only one who guessed the VR twist right at the start? It's the thing that made the most sense to me after seeing the cow chicken thing. I also guessed that Chiaki was the traitor way in advance. Though the cast being remnants of despair did surprise me a lot

Dude, there's a spoiler thread for discussing endgame stuff.

The more people saying the minigames are bad when their complaints are about the tutorials/explanations for them... The more I just don't get it. :/

(Hangman's gambit was objectively bad though)

If the game doesn't properly explain the minigame, then it's a fallacy of the game.

Also Logic Dive was shit.

The game overall, yes. Not the minigame itself, though. Bad explanations for mechanics is a different complaint than bad mechanics

Logic Dive was very average with some moments it stood out. Calling that shut just sounds stupid to me.
