Dangan Ronpa

So I'm enjoying the second game so far (and I keep forgetting to tell you guys how prepared I was for this one with a cool pic of my Mariachi Monokuma plush that I got at Comic Con), but I gotta say I hate how Bulle- I mean Panic Talk Actions are now. I have to hold the buttons now? Wait, that's not working too well either. Wtf? I'm in chapter freaking 3 and I can barely hold my combos while in the first game I could complete the BTBs without needing to use my concentration bar or missing a beat. Now I feel like I'm being forced to use Fever Time. I'm clearly misunderstanding how it works now or I just suck at it now. The finishing blow sometimes throws me off too. I swear I put in the right one for ch 3 but apparently I was wrong and killed myself twice. It does make more sense how the finishing blow, I just suck at putting the words in the right order.

And the Improved Hangman's Gambit is kinda a love/hate thing. Still has the same problem of waiting for the right letters to show up but usually the wait isn't bad. Plus it doesn't feel like I can steamroll right through it. My biggest problem is how some letters can spawn really close to each other and then hurt me before I can do anything; that's not raising the difficulty, that's annoying.

Logic Dives: eh, I don't hate it. It just feels out of place.

Rebuttal Showdowns: I really like them, they add conflict and make it feel like you're arguing with the characters voicing their arguments. Plus it gives everyone a chance to shine when they would otherwise be standing around contributing nothing.

And uh, I like how you can now agree with people during Nonstop Debates.
 
Oh my god I just bought the first game a day before the second came out.

I already played the first with my friends a couple months ago. This is embarrassing.
 
Should I share this here? I should share this here.



Both done by the same glorious man. Guess what the inspirations for these came from? :)
 
Bumping this again with some gameplay trailers for Another Episode.



Also, we have the names of the children: "Hero" Masaru Daimon, "Warrior" Kotoko Utsugi, "Priest" Jataro Kemuri, "Sage" Nagisa Shingetsu, and "Mage" Monaka.
 
yeah we
we got those names when they got revealed
 
Oh. Well I didn't see anyone mention it here. Guess I was last to the party. :(
 
It's okay, I had no idea either.
In other words; Nidai is still my husbando.
 
I still wanna see someone from Sakura's family.

(Too bad it probably won't be her boyfriend)
 
Well now that people have beaten Absolute Despair Girls, it's safe to say...

If it is, there's no reason to be surprised. It's where the game is made; of course they'll give it to Japan first. If they didn't, that would be freakin weird.

(after actually checking) Holy shit, it was released YESTERDAY. I mean, I still stand by what I said, don't be surprised they got it first, but still, that is recent!
 
That's what I meant. I didn't think it was out yet.
 
Am I a terrible person for hoping there to be a lot of RE 4 style death scenes after seeing Monokuma eat Komaru in the very first trailer?
That being said, someone link it if it's been a compilation of all them yet up
 
@Jutsei

As much as I wish for all of us to remain as close to spoil free as possible... checking.

Welp, can't find anything. :P
 
Considering how creative Monokuma can get when "punishing" people I hope you can die in various ways to keep the familiar killing spirit that the first two DR games had.

I still laugh when seeing Celestia accepting an elaborate burning execution just to get hit by a firetruck instead.

That's what I'm hoping for too, I mean. Geesh
In the very first trailer you can see Monokuma about to eat her so I'm hoping each Monokuma type has a different execution/death scene.
Plus there's the five separate bosses...
It'd be silly for there not to be a special death/game over screen for losing to them.
 
Huh...

So death by accessory is a thing.

 
A friend told me he saw a gif of Junk Monokuma eating Komaru.
I honestly hope all the deaths aren't just Monokuma(s) eating you.
Them vore guys are gonna have a field day but I wanted variety dammit.

They probably will do that. There's more than one Monokuma type. Plus, there's probably environmental hazards and deaths related to those as well.

However, I think the beauty of the deaths of the other games wasn't how OTT they were, or even, but the irony of them. There's literally something ironic about each individual death. For instance,

Gundam Tanaka being stampeded by a herd of animals to death, Celestia wanted a dignified, unique death and instead getting hit by a moving vehicle, and Leon Kuwata's death by baseballs.

In other words, what I'm hoping for more is some ironic deaths. Even if all the Monokuma deaths are the same, I'll be happy if I get that. The video I just linked gave one in the form of

a swimmer dying while swimming.
 
With the latest Vita update you can now have themes with customized background/icons that plays music in the home page.
At 2:55 the person shows off the DanganRonpa theme which currently is only available in Japan PSN. Warning though some of the background images may be spoiler related.
 
I feel like, if Skullgirls ever gets a Vita release, that Lab Zero should release a Skullgirls theme for the Vita.
 
People were gettin' all huffy about how ridiculously perverse and disgusting Another Episode got.

It's like they didn't expect a world of ULTIMATE DESPAIR to suck for the people in it.

Glad my fave character from 1 is in Another Episode and I have a thing for Utsugi, what a cutie.
 
My favorite from 1 is all over flashbacks.

And my Another Episode favorite is probably gonna become the second version of her.
 
i'm happy to see that they remembered Kenshiro/Kenichiro

sad to see that he'll never see his wonderful girlfriend again though ;-;7
 
Bump.

AE is almost/already out here. DR3 was also confirmed/in development awhile back. Also a Vita theme is out too for those interested.
 
Man it really hurts me to not have a Vita, because I want to play Another Episode so bad and my girl Fukawa ;_;

*note i've had my psn name forever because of my babe
 
I sympathize with how much it hurts to not have a Vita. Especially when you're soooo close to being able to buy one.
 
What's crazy is I'd like to see a official translation of the Dangan Ronpa IF that was unlocked upon completing the Second game in Japan.

The events in it are an official AU story in light novel form as
Makoto gets the Escape switch from the Gatchapon machine the day Sayaka was going to try and fail to kill Leon. Using it he gets an Electric shock, but nothing else happens until that night. When he answers the door to meet Sayaka he passes out, stopping her from attempting her Murder Plot.

Next Day Makoto wakes up in the infirmary with "Junko" (Mukuro) sitting watch over him. They talk a bit with him mentioning he doesn't feel like he's talking to Junko, which she brushes off. They get called to the cafeteria, and a repeat of the Gym Execution of "Junko" begins to occur. However right when the Spears of Gungir are about to be released...Makoto's Memory fully returns and he shoves Mukuro out of the way, yelling her real name and takes the hit...ending chapter 1.

Chapter 2 and onwards is from Mukuro's PoV and I will not give what happens, only that it ends with the special ending in the First Game if you play though a second time and get the Exit Switch before the first Murder from the Machine: all 15 Survivors escape. It also sets up for the Danagnronpa 2 IF, that has the Storm stop before Monokuma appears, and based on the first IF, you can guess why it stops.

Seems if you want to play Danganronpa Chronologically you have to Machete it in the order of 1, Girls, 2 right now. Wonder where 3 will fit in the timeline with the Light Novel DanganRonpa/Zero Being the prologue to the first Game.
 
@Cyberbeta

They translated Danganronpa IF in the English version of Danganronpa 2. There were several very notable spelling errors though.
 
Have they uploaded all the ways to die in Another Episode yet?
I want them all in English.
Someone uploaded a reel but it was only 4, and it was all monokuma vore deaths.
Good and fine, but what about all of them?

Do you have a link to where I can read them?

Well, the game itself and any other fan translations that are still up (if any). I do have a fan translation since I didn't know at the time if we'd even get 2.

But based on what you said in your spoiler, there's a second If story, which I definitely don't have nor have I read in any way..
