Yeah, I'll like that too...
At least it won't take a year for the sequel to come out.
I know its the OT and all, but can I get a somewhat objective "You should buy this game if" AND "You shouldnt buy this game if" list please?
Having a 6 hour trip on sunday and considering making this game my trip companion but I basically dont know anything other than it being a mix of several games (Phoenix, 999..).

You should buy this game if you like Phoenix Wright and/or 999 and/or over the top yet brutally dark murder mysteries with high school students killing each other.
You shouldn't but this if you hate life.

I've never played WR or 999 but I have played Prof Layton and enjoy puzzles.... still a go?
Uh, wouldn't really compare this game to Professor Layton very much at all. It really is a combination of Ace Attorney and Zero Escape.
There's intrigue in the form of murder mysteries, if that's puzzly enough for you, but that's about it.

Around 15-20 hours depending on how fast you read/solve puzzles/ect.
Only one ending though.
Technically.

Well it's more about the story than puzzles, so if the premise sounds interesting to you, I say go for it.
Think I'll get a start on Chapter 3 before going to bed & oooohhh wooooowwwww.
This is gonna be the fanservice chapter, isn't it? I heard something about if you have Male's Fantasy (which I got), you get an additional scene during this chapter with the bath. Also DAMN, AOI.
male's fantasy or w/e is probably my least favorite thing in dangan ronpa, i wish it was skippable if obtained because it was such a skeevy thing to do. all i was doing was shopping for celes gifts and i get that, gdi
Three: Gentle, Kind, and Mean. Play on Mean. Just. Do it.This finally came out on the EU PSN so I downloaded it, just need to get myself away from Toukiden long enough to start it
I notice there are two difficulties? What's the difference between them and ideally what should I play on?
Haha, Mean does sound enticing. What changes with the difficulties?
Mean adds White Noise to later trials, and just makes the trials a bit more tricky in general. I played on Mean, and I have no regrets.
Also anything under Mean makes the trials kinda bleh for second playthroughs
This too.
Is it me or is Teddies VA from P4 voicing Monokuma?
Glad to see that DR2 is already being localized. Even better is that it's coming this year
They didn't record the announcement did they? I'd love to see it if there's a video.
Currently playing through Chapter 2.

WHY DID THEY KILL CHIHIRO >:l Makes me a sad panda Just started the investigation phase. I haven't found any evidence at all yet but I'm going to take a guess and assume Sakura was the killer. Hope I'm wrong D: Also, Byakuya is a dick

I just beat Chapter 1. Them feels. Going to see how far I can get in Chapter 2 tonight before I need to sleep.
I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow but I'm off Saturday and I hope to have it beaten by Sunday.
So pumped for the announcement of DR2 after everyone said they thought it improved on everything in 1.

It's not like the game is totally pandering to me. Not one bit.
Ya know, I noticed a strange detail about those pictures.
You don't unlock the bathhouse until Chapter 2. How did you manage a bath in Chapter 1?!
If only Makoto was a girl... Dear Chunsoft, female protagonist in the next DR pls.

A LACK OF A BATHHOUSE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT!

Chapter 1 AND 2 Spoilers (Edit: Oh god its an essay, my bad)
I think I've turned the corner on this game. Let's do this!
HEY! I said that!
So I just finished 2...man.
I did what I normally do and gave myself a cliffs notes version of the story points. I do this sometimes with movies and games for a few reasons: For games like these, it keeps the lows from going too low, and I can analyze it better and appreciate the smaller moments more.
Chapter 1: Sayaka dying was pretty telegraphed, but it still fucking huuuurt. The turnabout with her being the instigator freaking came damn close to breaking me, though in replaying it, the links were there, I just missed em.
Leon got fuuuuucked over. Breaking down the bathroom aside, he isn't the one who crossed the Moral Event Horizon first, Sayaka was. And this is before he knew the trial stuff, or that if he got away with it, everyone else would die. Rough stuff.
And it was real obvious you just rotate, but I figure first case syndrome there.
And then shit got realer with Chapter 2. I got kind of lost a bit with the room switch stuff logic wise, but still, so much shit happening.
The Jack reveal was so early that that wasn't got to be the end of it. DAT TONGUE THO
Byakuya continues his streak of suck. Sherlock Holmes you ain't.
Felt for Mondo too, though less so compared to Leon. And the gender reveal was ridiculous, of course.

Read the first few chapters of the manga if you want to feel even worse about it.

The main character of the upcoming spin-off is a girl.
DON'T LOOK UP ANYTHING ABOUT ANOTHER EPISODE UNLESS YOU'VE FINISHED DR1. (AND PROBABLY DR2 TOO, I DON'T KNOW.)

OH GOD NONONONONONO
I totally can't handle that. Passpass
Happy thoughts, happy thoughts..
Donuts.
2s resolution was weird. Byakuya fucking up everything didn't help at all, and him being arrogant enough to think he could've swung it back around just based on an eyewitness account is foolish. He's...not very good at this so far.
The execution was more amusing what with the butter gag, but still rough because of the reaction. I figured all the final bits would be against the culprit: nice to see I was wrong.
Also before I forget, freaking kudos to both VAs. Mondo accepted his fate, and though he did pushback after being initially found out, it was mostly his bro fighting it out, vs Leon who was in complete denial. Leon's VA in particular was superb. It was rough times hearing him at the end there.

It's not but I can see why you would think that.
Apparently there's just some collective cultural unconscious understanding about how to inflect a crazy animated bear.
Aye aye. I will stay away from it until I play DR2 in the fall. I hope that release gets pushed up just a weee bit.
Doooooooo iiiit. One of us, one of us...
