Are Danganronpa games worth getting into despite the horrible fanbase?

The games can be a bit tasteless at times, but still good fun.

I wouldn't call autists that jack off a game because pretending to like it makes them feel smart the fanbase.

I highly recommend that you play through Ace Attorney and Zero Escape first, or at least one of each.

>what's feedback, precious

The first game doesn't really hold up, just play 2 and V3. Maaaybe watch the final trial of 1 on YT before you do.

No, they're terrible and the fans make it worse.
Never ask something that stupid ever again.

I think the first one is the one that holds up the best. The sequels I feel go a little too far in trying to one-up the crazy factor of the previous installments.

get them when they go on sale, and get the pack with all 3 games.

They're enjoyable but definitely not perfect. The music and style are pretty much the best things about them, and everything beyond that gets pretty contentious. If you're a patient sort I think the first gets pretty good, and then your mileage may vary from that point on.

The fanbase is kind of unavoidable, though, especially if you want to offer feedback or just vent about the experience. I'm in a clear minority on what I found good/bad with the characters and plots and I haven't really been able to talk at all about the games since beating them last year. People are pretty sensitive about these stories and characters for whatever reason.

Yes. Skip V3 though.

why the fuck do you even care when it's a single player game

absolutely. just set your expectations correctly. skip the anime and don't read anything else online until you finish the games.

I think the people who hate DR most are the ones playing for an overarching narrative or something. the games are fundamentally goofy and don't give a fuck.

Attached: 1555792255211.jpg (960x1262, 756K)

Absolutely not. You're way past the tumblr trend of it and the overall gameplay just looks crappy. If youre only interested in the story, you can either watch 36 hours of it on youtube (and thats just the story pieces) or read it through a mirror.
Chances are, if you weren't interested in phoenix wright games, this isn't for you.
I'd give it maybe a solid 3.5/10
The twists weren't anything special either.

I keep seeing threads about this franchise, so I decided to check it out. Apparently it's just a bunch of visual novels. You don't actually play that chick shit, do you Yea Forums?

There's one DR game with gameplay though, it's a third-person shooter called Ultra Despair Girls.

But otherwise, yeah, they're visual novels with some investigation/trial stuff kinda like Ace Attorney. They also have social links like in Persona.

I mean, in hindsight, I probably chose wrong at the end there. It seemed like the logical choice, but I might have not taken his feelings into account, so I might be fucked lol

Yes. Also "horrible fanbase" is a stupid reason to ever avoid a game.

No, the ending is shit but the entire game is bloated and boring. It's the worst DR game in every regard.

Don't tell me you vote for Kanna you horrible monster.

Yeah, I'm at main game chapter 2. It's not bad. I've been wanting another game like this and it scratches the itch.

I have a few criticisms playing it though. There's nothing wrong being inspired by other games, even emulating them closely, but parts of the writing feel straight up derivative. The variety of challenges and discussion formats is cool but imo it's diminishing returns in a genre that's primarily narrative. Writing wise I appreciate how something is always happening and the plot moves at a good clip. I hope the writing holds up with more chapters.

I won't be satisfied until his head is on a pike.

>is useless

Keiji was right

That's escapism

You should probably get out of here if you havent finished both chapters because some others and I are just talking about upcoming spoilers without tagging them. Maybe someone should make a thread. (not me lol)

Escapism as in "the objectively correct choice if you wanna escape".

Do you think SC will keep this series in the grave or will they at least try to see how an entry without Kodaka would fare

She thinks killing herself is the only way.

It wouldn't just be without Kodaka unfortunately. He took the main artist and composer with him.

Probably keep it in the grave. At least for main series titles. They were really hammering in the fact that V3 is "the end of Danganronpa"

It's kinda hilarious how Kodaka killed Spike Chunsoft's cashcow and they let him do it.

It's okay, I'd only get into it if you're in the mood for some SERIOUS cheese. Like, schlock that knows it's schlock.
That doesn't mean it sucks, but it means that you're not going to get anything deep out of it. It's exactly what it looks like, a big cheesy adventure with random non-sensical twists that are still really entertaining and interesting.

I'd say skip the first game, since it's crap, but the sequels reference it so much you kinda have to play it

I think it says "To be continued in the final chapter" in all endings.
I heard that it takes like half a year per part and the last one just came out in May so it may take like one more year. Also, there's branching paths now, so it may take way longer depending on how he does it.

What were they going to do? Sue him for quitting?

I remember before Danganronpa was translated there was some random goon from SomethingAwful translating it and doing a text Let's Play. Nobody had ever heard of the game before, and by the time it was almost over it was so popular that hordes of tumblrites were making community SA accounts just to get past the paywall.

first game is great, still the best atmosphere

This. Also has the best protag.

I read it thinking it would never ported over. Glad that they made two sequels at least.

iirc Kodaka made comments to the effect that he's done with the series but he's interested to see what someone else does with it. Spike Chunsoft is probably going to make a few attempts at starting a new franchise, fail, and then hire someone to make new DR games.

You know they are single player story focused games and you don't have to interact with the fanbase?

>Also has the best protag.
Jesus 1 fags are fucking retarded.

>game that makes fun of the shitty fanbase = the fanbase's favorite game
where's the logic in that? the shitty fanbase are the ones who just post edited sprites of characters and make kokichi memes

Try the first game. Either you'll find it funny, find the series funny, and think the story's shit, and shit on it on Yea Forums, or you'll find the whole series funny, and enjoy the story and become part of the horrible fanbase.

Note his attempt to fuck over Sara with minimal evidence then beg for the way out from the person he tried to fuck over.

If by "spicing up" you mean "grated on my fucking nerves to the point where I just wanted to drop this shit" then yes.

V3 spoilers

Anyone else predict that Tsumigi was going to be the mastermind? The Cospox thing made me think she couldn't even dress as herself without Cospox which made me think her identity was a lie from that point.

The fanbase isn't even that bad, unless the existence of fujos on tumblr that you will never see or hear bothers you somehow.

The only ones who are mad at the ending are the ones who don't know that Tsumugi's "muh reality TV show" reveal was a lie, and never bothered to re-check Prologue right after.

Riddle me this:
1. Shuichi and Kaede introduced each other with their names in the pre-game Prologue. Why were their names censored in the auditions?
2. Rantaro is supposedly a player from the 52nd game. Why did NO ONE recognize him when he introduced himself in the pre-game Prologue?
3. Pre-game Kaede remembers being kidnapped in the beginning. Would you really believe that the auditions were legit?
4. Tsumugi has cospox, and thus can't cosplay real people, but then say shit about the v3-characters being fiction. Doesn't that mean that Tsumugi could've forged the auditions and Rantaro's video?

I can conclude that while the Hope's Peak saga never happened in the Ultimate Academy saga, DR being a world-famous game show was a lie and may have been some obscure red room stream. At best, the Flashback Lights are real, however.

yes, but the fanbase is absolutely awful.

based and redpilled, I noticed this shit too, but you know the fanbase is full of brainlet's that can't even spell Bone The On Meat. the whole shenanigan about DR3 is that you think is true is a lie and what you think is a lie is truth, but also that a lie can become the truth and vice-versa, it's still mindfuckery levels of meta but I would argue this is what makes V3 so fucking interesting.

And what stops any of that from being flashback light bullshit? The kubs admitted they fucked up, how do we know they didn't just accidentally use last season's backstory script? The truth is Kodaka is a hack and couldn't actually be bothered to write an ending so he defaulted to "I don't care, you figure it out". False memories are the absolute worst trope writers can use, even worse than "it was all a dream" bullshit.

^ This.
Fwiw, I went through Danganronpa without interacting with the fanbase.
I tried to get into the DRG in /vg/ and I suddenly understood that was a terrible idea.
From personal experience, play Danganronpa 1 and 2, make up a headcanon for the events that happen in their universe afterward (because there's 99% chances you'll be dissapointed by Danganronpa 3 which isn't even a game but a shitty and short anime show) and then play V3, which stands on its own and it's pretty awesome.

Once you've done that, you can get in any other minor material you want to, if you wish. Danganronpa is basically dead, at least for now.

Nope. The post implied that Season 52 had no Ultimates, when that's clearly false.

Remember, Pre-game Kaede and Shuichi acknowledged that they were normal students.

The second one is exactly the same as the first one. Is the third one different?

Hmm..

I'm not following, are you sure you aren't just projecting?

>The second one is exactly the same as the first one.
No, it's not. Character development is more present than it was in the 1st game, and for a lot of people the cast of the 2nd game was more likable too, not to mention there's more memorable scenes in the 2nd game compared to the 1st one.

>Is the third one different?
Different characters and environment, same Danganronpa patterns.
The executions in this game are a little bit more gruesome than the first games' too.

Only V3 is really worth playing.

>The kubs admitted they fucked up, how do we know they didn't just accidentally use last season's backstory script?

For one, Shuichi and Kaede aren't even Season 52 characters, only Rantaro and Tsumugi are. If they "followed" a "script", they would've introduced themselves using completely different names.

>No, it's not.
Yes it is. If you have played the first game the second one won't give you a new experience, just more of the same.

T-This is true. It doesn't matter what series. They're all shit. Why?

Do you... not understand how flashback lights work?

God that hat is so fucking lazy, it was obvious the protagonist switch was going to happen when that thing looks like it was just lazily shopped on every sprite.

First game is the one that holds up best. Not because it is the best, but because it's the most solid, makes the fewest mistakes and is incredibly straightforward. It also serves as the introduction to the overarching plot but is not deeply involved in it compared to DR2. The other games take the anime factor up to 11 and thus gain more "What the ever loving fuck is wrong with the writing?" receptions when the ball is dropped.

itt: brainlets
DR 52 happened, rantaro was "sacrificed" and joined DR 53
Shuichi, Kaede etc "auditioned" for DR 53 and were accepted, their auditions were shown in 53's climax to create despair - Whether they consented to it or got brainwashed for DR 53 is not mentioned and is up for interpretation
The monokubs intentionally fucked up because they're controlled by Team DR, the fuck up was televised because it's used in the climax
Tsumugi's cospox is a plothole though, however it's common headcanon that DR 53 causes cospox but previous DR games don't because DR 1-51 are fiction in DR 53

I disagree with this heavily. Characterization in DR2 was the worst. You are originally led to believe Byakuya had one before the game, but it's a red herring. You have Hiyoko killed in the process of one (but that's fine, so were Taka and Angie I think). You have Akane given ample opportunity for growth but just refuses to make anything meaningful of it. The only characters in this game that undergo development are Hajime and Fuyuhiko. Everyone else is the same from start to finish.

>cast of the 2nd game was more likable too

Subjective. I've found the DR2 cast is a lot less liked nowadays. Only Komaeda and maybe AI Chiaki survived DR3 .

>muh fanbase
Zoomers are retarded

>You are originally led to believe Byakuya had one before the game, but it's a red herring
Just because he wasn't actually Byakuya doesn't mean the impostor had no character.

I'm sorry, but you said this right?
>Character DEVELOPMENT
The whole premise behind Twogami is that something occurred that caused him to change and it's a big pull into the early game. But it's just a meaningless distraction. There's no development present.
