omg that Nagito screenshot, I'm dying

not gonna lie though, a liiiittle bit nervous by the fact that some of these new screens make it look more fanservice-y than the first two games, but I'm going to trust that they're not taking it in a weird direction (not like the series isn't already super weird lol)
 
I kinda hope this is bad so I don't care about spoiling myself. If impressions are good i'm gonna have to go on blackout and hope it's announced for US :(

Download's gonna take a few hours. This is why I was hoping for a midnight release, haha.

Still, should be able to get a good hour or so in before bed.

Ryouga mentioned on Twitter that it runs well so far and seems like it may turn out legitimately great. Better get that bunker ready.
 
Love the UI so far.

And my personal fav:

All from the first 30 minutes. No spoilers here.

So far the game has been fully voice acted. Feels as lunatic as every other DR piece of media. Really feeling good about this one.

Only a very little ways in, but small thing I already love: several of the series songs got full remixes this time instead of the minor rearrangements they had in DR2.

Any really rad new songs?

Nothing new's tremendously caught my ear thus far, but I've only played through the prologue.

Also, fantastic moment from the prologue:
having Komaeda's first few lines be the same as in DR2. Legit shuddered at that.

Love love loved that moment. Didn't feel forced at all.
 
I really hope people already playing this will confirm (or not) the story is as good as a "normal" Danganronpa.

Of course, no spoilers but that's really the only thing I'm interested in, even if the gameplay isn't as good as it can be (I'm sure it's going to be fine though).

So yeah, as soon as you have a grasp on the scenario's story, please tell us if it's awesome or not.

On my end, I should try and ask on twitter if they have plans for DLCs or not...and if not, I'll most likely import it soon-ish.

Just going through the opening and so far this is above my expectations. Lots of animated cutscenes and the scene in pork restaurant was hilarious. Calling the police like that and then...

Have a question but not really a spoiler:
What should I expect when I open this page? Something shocking?

If you're trying to avoid spoilers, I wouldn't click on it.
There are a couple of character deaths in there.
 
There are already a few pics floating around. Nothing too spoilerish if you've been following the trailers, all early stuff. I've tossed some in an imgur album. http://imgur.com/a/m5TaW
Oh, so that explains the guy that looks like
Chihiro
. Thanks for the pictures. It is a shame that I have zero understanding of Japanese because I really want to play this. Hopefully a localization is announced for 2014.

Wow,
They had the balls to do kid executions

Oh crap, they are actually going forward with kids executions? Amazing.

Not quite. (EARLY SPOILERS)
The hero kid just got snatched away by Junko's despair goons without much getting shown. There's definitely some implications for his fate, but nothing graphic is shown.

For clarification about one of those series of pictures (MORE EARLY SPOILERS),
the pictures involving Aoi's brother show his wrist-mounted bomb blowing up. This happens about two hours into the game, apparently.

There are also some 2ch rumors floating around about the ending. I won't say what it is, since there isn't any confirmation, but I'm hoping it's not true since it sounds pretty disappointing.

It is interesting the other kids were holding a memorial for him though. It definitely is feeling we're gonna get some characterization of these kids at the very least.

I accidentally read what the supposed ending was on /vg/'s general thread and wow, yeah I don't like this. At all. I hope it's not true, I'm pretty disappointed with the game if this is all it amounts to.

This isn't much of a spoiler, but my God, some of these new Monokuma designs are amazing:

Speaking of Monokumas, though (I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS HAPPENS, SO THIS COULD BE A BIG SPOILER)

I love all these new Monokumas.

Also, the specho haircuts ones were revealed in a Famitsu article last month or something, so nothing new. Just as amazing though.

Crack Theory: All those that died in Danganronpa 1 had their mind or whatever uploaded into Monokumas spares and you'll save them and put them back in their real bodies.

Even if they had their minds downloaded prior to being killed, they don't have anything to be uploaded into, though, right?

Mukurokuma? Eh. I'll take it
 
Against better judgement I watched a bit of a stream of AE, managed to avoid any spoilers but damn I wish I hadn't now because I really like what I saw. They've done a nice job translating the 2.5D artstyle into 3D, the music is as good as ever and the gameplay looks interesting.

Please hurry up and localise it NISA, I don't want to wait a year to play this ;_;
