I don't think you can search anything related to it without getting spoiled in some way.

Monokuma is watching you.

*goes to Weather.com* OMG DR SPOILERS WTF.

An extreme hypothetical, but I wouldn't doubt it :p

I have the strangest feeling Sayaka is going to commit the most heinous murder of all. Either that or she's going to die the most horrible death.
 
Ok, I need to vent. SCREW THE INTERNET. SERIOUSLY.

I was looking up something about Virtue's Last Reward. Something that should be completely unrelated other than being in the same genre as Danganronpa. There, in the Google Image search preview, is an image from the game of one of the characters dead. Like seriously, WHAT THE HELL? Am I seriously going to abstain from using the Internet altogether? Is that what it's going to come to?

I'm pissed right now.

All things considered that could've been worse

I didn't even bother with looking for a song that's not on the OST (Mr. Monokuma After Class) on YouTube because I didn't want to risk the spoilers. I guess that's what happens when a game not only has been out in Japan for some time, but had that fan translation as well.

Anyways, time to continue on with Chapter 2's trial.

I feel as though I should be more shocked at this Chapter 2 Trial twist of
DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LAADDDYYYY
, though maybe I'm too used to it....still fooled me, though.

I was equally fooled, but it's not nearly as much as of a shock these days. I think the motivation behind it was a little implausible, but it wasn't too poorly executed or anything. It certainly shook things up.

This happened to me a ton of times with Game of Thrones. A random non-TV-related art blog I follow had a picture with a banner that said
SEAN BEAN DIES
in giant letters. Like, come on.

Ugh, GoT is definitely one of those shows you have to be up to date on so as to not screw yourself over. You have no idea how happy I was that I had seen the latest episode when everybody started talking about
THE RED WEDDING OMFG
and all that. Every news outlet seemed to be on about it, whether it was even relevant to actual news or not.

Also, does anyone know where I can get some spoiler free OST action going via YouTube or somewhere else?

The reason why DanganRonpa spoilers are so bad is because the fan translation was released 6 months before the official release. You had a lot of people play that, fall in love with the game, and start wanting to discuss the plot and post fanart everywhere. And since it was only 6 months ago, it hasn't really died down yet.

Super DanganRonpa 2 should be way more spoiler friendly.

Man, I hope my Vita actually gets here tomorrow. :/ Amazon says it isn't prepared for shipment yet, and we have over a foot of snow here.

It was also cause the anime started airing around the time so that was another (poorly done) way for people to experience the plot.

The second game should be better unless an anime gets announced for it...

Of course tumblr is a spoiler-minefield regardless of which game you look up.

Just finished case 1. Spoilery thoughts below.

So I had been accidentally spoiled that Junko died in case 1, so I mistakenly thought she was the murder victim for the case. So when the game kept pushing me toward Sayaka, I thought, "It would be horrible if she were the victim, but I know it's Junko, so Sayaka is clearly safe." NOPE. Sayaka's dead. Inadvertent gut punch.

Chapter 1 spoiler:
I was actually glad when Sayaka died because she was annoying and I was afraid she was going to end up being my Maya Fey. The sooner the game killed her off to focus on more interesting characters, the better.

Man, that was disappointingly predictable. IMMEDIATELY when the question of (ch. 1 + 2 spoilers)
"how did Chihiro gain access to the boys room?" was asked, I knew that she was actually a he. Practically as predictable as the 11037 "twist" in case 1.

Thankfully, not much else has been that predictable so far.

Well....that was an ending. I thought the way Chapter 1 "ended" was strange enough, but Chapter 2's was.....
kind of silly. Riding those cage balls with a motorcycle to the point you literally melt? Okay. Maybe the actual murders and Zero Escape: VLR has made me less likely to find these creepy or whatever. Though I guess they're more among the lines of dark humor. I'm finding them really...I guess "surreal".
Of course, I've still got quite amount of the game left, so things might change.

I sure hope it doesn't. Or at the very least, NISA decides to release SDR2 before it's produced.

I purposely dumbed myself down for that first case.
I knew that if I started playing around with the 11037, I would eventually come up with some sort of indication of who the killer was, but I let it by and just rolled with the punches.
I also had a very different theory for case 2:
I actually thought that the locker rooms had some sort of hidden lever or something that rotated the layout of the boy's locker room with that of the girl's locker room, and that Chihiro had been unintentionally hung on the equipment from the boy's room. It just seemed a bit implausible that the equipment that Chihiro was suspended on was also moved (it looks heavy) so I just figured there was a trick to it.
Since they didn't go that route, I'm guessing that the game isn't going to quite screw around with us like that by breaking the rules or not letting us see all the evidence.

Sure it's cartoony, but it's pretty horrifying to think about.
The speed at which Mondo had to be going for him to become a liquid is ridiculous, and it wouldn't happen all at once. That means he at least partially felt it as his bones, organs and skin all began to liquefy. Could you imagine how painful that must be? And to add insult to injury, his corpse is placed in a small butter carton that mocks his very existence.

I'd say that's all pretty fucked up.

So, what do the coins you find do? I guess they're for unlockables?
You use them at the Monokuma vending machine at the student store. It unlocks presents, which you can give to your fellow students to improve relationships with them.

EDIT: Ninja'd. Kyoko is once again too fast for me.

Does giving gifts increase the chance of the person liking your interaction, resulting in more info about their past and a new skill or skill point? Some interactions took multiple free time tries to unlock the next dialogue.

Also, why was the fan translation released when the game was coming out a few months later? It could hurt sales, especially since it is so easy to emulate/pirate PSP games.

The translation was completed and released before the game was even announced for localization.

Supposed to be sometime tonight so just a few more hours.
[despair intensifies]

Seems likely with all the merchandise and figures that were announced earlier this month at WonFes. And they did basically tease something about it at the end of the first anime.

Speaking of, has NISA's announcement happened yet?

Should be happening tonight. So let's say it starts in about 5 more hours at the earliest.

I'm probably doing it wrong, but after finishing chaper 1 and coming into the middle of chapter 2, I started to watch the anime. I will alternate between playing a chapter, and watching the relevant episodes.

That's probably not a bad way of doing things, but I certainly don't have the patience for it. I would rather blaze through the game. I haven't seen the anime myself, but you also run the risk of them mentioning something earlier than in the game or going too far.

Not a bad thing. The anime is a decent Cliffnotes version of it and it isn't bad to see things somewhat animated.

Nah, the anime does a very good job of having the chapters end at an episode and not overflow into another chapter. Most of the time, the execution is the last thing you'll see in an episode anyway.
 
So finally got to start playing this. Chapter 1 spoilers:

"Oh hey, a childhood friend type of girl, is this going to be like 999?

NEVERMIND SHE'S DEAD AND SHE BETRAYED YOU. Oh also your favourite girl died for free, ta ta!"

Bear y u do dis

Loving it so much.What does Logic difficulty affect?

I'd add "Don't even look up porn" to that list.

I dunno, all the porn I look up for this game is oddly enough spoiler free.

Not surprising, Super Danganronpa's 2 porn is slightly more spoilers happy.

My LE is stuck in shipping Limbo.

Dammit texas, give me my game!

Yeah, same here. I wouldn't even mind if there was at least an update saying it's still stuck in the vast Southwest unknown or something.

Hell, it's still telling me I should be expecting it yesterday. :E
