Danganronpa

Its been a while since the last game came out but curious to know what people thought about v3!

Also where do you think the series can go from here?
 
The plot of v3 wasn't my favourite and I thought the ending was pretty weak, but I loved the cast the most out of the 3 main games. I think they wrote themselves into a corner with it though, considering how it ended :whistle:
 
I liked DRV3, but for me the best game still is DR2, talking about the story, of course.
V3 designs and characters are amazing, but the game disappointed me a lot when Kaede died...It made me don't like Shuichi tbh.
 
I totally agree with all of you, the story was very mediocre and I really didn’t like the ending much either, though at the same time v3 brought in so many great varied personalities that I enjoyed a lot more than the cast of 1/2.

And of course as usual Chapter 4’s ending hit me right in the feels 😭

it really really felt like v3 was there to "end" the game, im honestly not even sure how they can continue with it now that they broke the fourth wall like that, i really did not like how they went with it i feel like the series had great potential and they just... decided to blow it bc they could not progress with it??? idk
but yeah, other than that i like the characters and the story was actually pretty ok right until the climax lol, my personal fav chapter was probably 2 only bc i think it was the most despair-inducing for me lmao
 
sdr2 was one of my favorite games from recent memory.... it was really engrossing and insanely challenging (for me) also i loved all of the characters in it ^_^ it was much better than the first one... which i did not enjoy playing that much.

the bait and switch with kaede and saihara though turned me off of playing v3 way though
 
I really liked V3, I thought most characters were pretty neat. I don't worry about the final chapter because the theme of it was lies and deception. The game lied, the pre-protagonist lied, I don't really care for the double twist in the ending. I think the world being peaceful and people signing up to kill each other and lost their old memories is super interesting. The game being a game... not so much. I like to think the survivors were trapped in a dome and returned to their normal world.

Trialwise, it was the easiest game for me. And the video game trial was infuriating ny how slowly the character figured stuff out. But I really love the combination of the first and last trial, that's the kind of plot twist I'd like to see more of. It sucks that it was more of a marketing strategy though, that's why the last chapter seems more spiteful than ironic.

I think it would be cool to focus in more into the reality show aspect of the final chapter. If we ignore the game aspect, this is a show that ran 53 times and the 53th time was when the public supposedly got a wake up call. So in my eyes the 54th show had to be different. My first idea would be a prison setting. Everyone could get an ultimate crime instead of talent and they'd all have a motive why they'd be willing to kill for early release. I think this could be interesting to write for, trying to come up with weird crimes and emotional backstories. And the prison could be a literal interpretation of the previous settings.
 
I know I'm definitely in the minority here but I loved V3's ending and I feel like it's one of my favorite video game endings. I totally get people not liking it because I hated it at first, and...
I can see how the whole "it was fictional the whole time" thing would tick people off, but personally, I like the themes going on here. To me personally, fiction is more important than it probably is to a lot of people. When I'm able to immerse myself in a good story and witness good characters, I find myself becoming attached to these characters. And to see them put in a situation where they could die tragically, that can be pretty emotional. This is the major appeal of Danganronpa, and I love how they turned that into a plot point. The mastermind is the developers themselves. I love that as a plot point. Another plot point is how the said developers/masterminds are "torturing" their characters, which again, I love that, it's kinda true if you really think about it, and I love how it's fictional characters trying to fight back against the harsh reality their creators have presented them. That's pretty deep.
In general, V3 is one of my favorite games ever made, I love nearly everything about it.
 
I love Danganronpa, if you couldn't tell. My favorite game in the series is Super Danganronpa 2, and my island is modeled after Jabberwock, complete with a wooden plank hotel above water for my villagers like the game. My best friend calls it cruel.

I also enjoy fangames! I wish more people talked about Danganronpa Another and Super Danganronpa Another 2, they're really good and (imo) better than some of the official Danganronpa content post-SDR2. Danganronpa Rebirth and Danganronpa Kill:Cure are also super interesting, but one is canceled and the other is heavy WIP.

I'm part of the V3-critical side, the characters are interesting and the executions really are brutal and great, but there's a lot missed potential imo. Perfectly fine with people liking it though, if everyone had the same opinions that would just be boring.
