what's the best danganronpa game
>>721414508 Probably Danganronpa 2. The cast is more memorable, the trials are tighter, and the ending actually sticks the landing compared to 3. Plus the setting being a tropical island gives it a nice aesthetic contrast to the first game's gloomy school. Only downside is how much Nagito talks but that’s also half the fun.
>>721414508What the fuck does that name even mean?
>>721414508V3
>>7214145081 > 2 > 3
>>721414508Danganronpa Another 2
>>7214145082 > 3 > 1
V3 > 2 > HTH > Ultra Despair Girls summer camp is okay
>>721414508I liked 1 the best of the three
>>721415247"To kill an argument with a bullet" which is a saying in japan, kind of like a more severe way of saying "to hit the nail on the head" or something like that.
Capcom isnt doing shit with AA so Im glad this series is still kicking. I need my courtroom kino fix
>>721418581me and my wife met through dangan but she absolutely despises aa. How do I get her into it?
>>721418628If she got to the pursuit moments and didn't get hype as shit I dont know how to change her mind.
>>721418628you can't, phoenix x edgeworth yaoi just isn't as good
>>721418708she's always refused to even try them
>>721414508DR2. It's a solid 6/10.
>>721418628How come she hates it if she never played it?
>>721418853Strange hill to die on if she likes Danganronpa. Not sure what to tell you beyond trying to convince her it's a similar game and if she likes one she's basically guaranteed to like the other
>>721419183that's what always confused me>>721419239Yeah, guess I'll just try and yap to her about it again. Thanks anyway bros.
>>721414508UDG
>>721419404She probably thinks AA looks too plain since Danganronpa is a lot more visually striking and so isn't drawn into it as much.
>>7214145081 > 2 > V3
>>7214145081 has the best characters2 has the best trialsV3 has the best balance of bothUDG is too different to really compare but if I had to it's probably my favoriteUDG>V3>1>2
>>721414508V3 unironically
It is interesting how there are people ranking each game in every single possible place. Options are really varied for this.
>>721414508I honestly wished DR series was just like zero escape where each sequel was different on the killing games. I wished the outside world information was kept mysterious. And holy hell why didnt any of them had what if routes for replayability? fuck those minigame trials. I had a lot of fun with 1. I only had fun with 2 when talking about it with /v/ same with UDG. 3 and V3 was just way too memey to take seriously. each sequel sucked more than the last.1>2>UDG>3>V3
>>7214145081 obviously. It's the best in the areas that are most important for a mystery.2 is the worst.
2 > 1 > UDG > V3 >>> 3 > S2 is the only one that is flat out great. Yes, Chapter 3 sucks, but they suck in all three main games. Outside of that, it's the strongest overall package in the series, and it probably plays a part in why it's the one getting a remake first.1 has the best setting, story, atmosphere etc, albeit with the weakest protagonist. It's all perfectly fine, but other than maybe Chapter 4, the actual core gameplay sections are severely lacking and it's missing the QoL and (especially the original PSP release) extra content to help it stand the test of time like 2 has. It's the one that would benefit the most from a full remake.UDG is a weird one to compare due to being so different, and it has plenty of issues with how clunky it can be. The flaws are too glaring to be the best, but the parts of it it does well, it does very well. Probably the best protagonist in the series, and arguably the best non-Monokuma antagonist. You'll never be able to recommend it without your friend giving you funny looks once they reach Chapter 3.V3 has quality of life and a bunch of bonus content, but that's about it. The setting, story and cast are all the weakest of the main trilogy, and the new positive content it does bring to the gameplay like Scrum Debates and Perjury especially just end up feeling so underused that it's a wonder why they even bothered adding them in the first place.3 isn't a game, but it has to be thrown in there to highlight how garbage it is.S is a cheap cashgrab that failed to grab any cash
>>721419817 Based taste. 1 still has the tightest narrative and most consistent tone across the board. 2 starts strong but gets a little too wild for its own good, and V3 felt like it was trying too hard to be shocking rather than cohesive. Ending still makes me laugh when I think about how hard Kodaka tried to "deconstruct" the series like it's Evangelion or something.
>>7214232181.3 is fun
1 has the best atmosphere. Not just the gloomy school but also because 2/3 of the cast are actual assholes and distrust toward each other for most of the games. It feels like a killing game more than other games where most characters are too nice to each other
>>721431620Replaying them dr1 really felt more horror
>>721432078From all the three main games, it's the only one where the deaths are 100% certain
>>721422761>2 worstContrarian FAGGOT. >>721423218This is actually the correct order, good one anon.
>>721423218>S is a cheap cashgrab that failed to grab any cashShame about that cause i was mega excited when i saw it on the reveal trailer etc. S is really only for the HARDCORE fans who wanted more of DRV3's bonus mode, that's literally it.
>>721434321I might grab it on a sale or something
Second game is easily the worst one, despite it having my two favorite cases. The cast is the worst one by far. I think objectively the first one is the best, it's the tightest in most aspects, but I love the third too much and it's my favorite.
I wonder if 2x2 is really a sequel or just some new simulation before the boring dr3 endingI think they are also testing the waters and training new talent so they can keep making Danganronpa games (they can use different stories or whatever)
>>721434210>ContrarianDanganronpa 1 is the best selling and highest critically reviewed Danganronpa.Just because Danganronpa 2 is the favorite among secondaries and zoomers whose exposure to Danganronpa consists of Let's Plays and Tiktok mashups doesn't mean calling DR2 is "contrarian".Don't get me wrong even DR2 is a fun romp, but it's just way too flawed. The average case quality is abysmal, the survivor cast sucks mongo dick, the cast in general is just the weakest of the three games, setting is a huge downgrade compared to DR1, music is a downgrade, 2-2 to 2-4 is an incredibly rough stretch, the ending is embarrassing (Junkoland lmfao) and most of all the atmosphere is nonexistent and the tone is way too batshit.Every Danganronpa has its issues, DR2 has the most and the worst though
>>721419404Try using GAA as a gateway instead of PW
>>7214150842's cast is hard carried by Nagito with a side of Chiaki for waifufags and Fuyuhiko for a good character arc. The ending is as shit as any Danganronpa ending. The first game could get away with it as a standalone game, the others could not.
I like 2's cast, fight me
Super Danganronpa 2 because it has my wife Mikan in it
>>721414508The first one. This is a series where it gets worse and progressively more flanderized with every entry. Monokuma himself encompasses this, he goes from an actual menace in the first game to 100% comic relief in the second game and then just a total bum in the fifty-third game.Much of the gradual drop in quality self-inflicted because they decided to re-use the first game's plot structure every time for... absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Top 1: DR1, DR2 and Another Episode.Top 2: Danganronpa V3Top BAD: Danganronpa 3DR1 has the novelty of being the first one and survivors I actually like. DR2 has Nagito and good twists but all the cool characters die so by the end the you're left with a bunch of filler characters. Another episode has the best duo of main characters and the best villain, I'm honestly tempted to just say it's the best one because of how underrated it is. V3's cast just didn't do it for me. DR3 retroactively ruins everything but the openings are cool.
>>721417790Is the English translation any good? And do you need to play 1 first?
>>721437551>The ending is as shit as any Danganronpa ending.I don't disagree, but by those low standards I think 2 did the most interesting things integrating foreshadowing.
I still don't get why he went with a "the series is too iterative" angle when it was only the third game and it was his choice to keep reusing the same beats.Anyways 1 is the best, but 2 has better highs.
>>721414508DR1 while completely blind to the franchise. I liked the mystery, the claustrophobic nature of Hopes Peak. The general distrust among all the students. Probably the only time DR actually had some kind of horror presents. At least that’s what drew me the most to the franchise and nothing captured that high since
>>7214145081>2=>V3If Danganronpa 1 gets a Distrust-style remake someday I will ultra nut.
>>7214145081 because the concept was novel and there was a mystery to solve.
>>721414508for my money, it's trigger happy havocused to hate v3, nowadays i pretend the ending doesnt exist and i like it much more. sdr2 used to be my favorite but nowadays i am really critical of it, it holds up really bad on replay (thh really shines on replay btw)so thh > v3 > sdr2 for me
>>721439391>sdr2 used to be my favorite but nowadays i am really critical of it, it holds up really bad on replay (thh really shines on replay btw)to expand thh on replay you really notice how well foreshadowed the main plot was and how there's all this stuff happening in the background. the first cutscene showing the headmaster getting btfo'd by junko. and such thingssdr2 doesnt have any of this sadly, and you also really notice that sdr2 is "the nagito show" on replay. as cool as nagito is he is basically 90% of the events of the game and dictates five of the game's class trials.
>>721431620>>721432078It had a more sinister atmosphere in the rejected original concept.
>>721439750I really wish the DR franchise didn’t follow the quirky path and instead stayed true to the horror aspect. Would it have been less popular? Maybe but I would have liked it more
>>721439750Even older version when Monokuma looked like this and the school looked like a run down warehouse.
Like a group of hitlers, I agree with the others. 1st was the best and maybe it should've stayed there. No sequels. The other games were kinda kino but sometimes it's best to leave things open.
>>721418414Who is the girl with glasses and a book in the front row? I recognize everyone else.
>You should KILL yourself, and y-you're really stupit!
>>7214145082 > 3 > 1The second game had the best cases and motives.
>>721440445Yes
>>721440445>second game had the best caseskek>and motives*ahem**clears throat*AHAHHAHGAGAGHAAAHGSGHAGHHAGSHGS ZEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA AHAHAHAAHA BWAHAHHAHAH GRUGRaAARARAARA
>>721418414this is a nice shelfyou are missing the shinigami figurine
>>721423218Yeah I mostly agree with this. Although I would give V3 a little more credit even though it's still my least favorite game in the series.
>>721440492>999 above VLRwhat>Rain Code in Ei'd put it in C>Murder by Numbers in F-lol i thought i was the only person on Earth who played that
>>721440509Yes the cases where a nice step of from the piss easy cases of the first game and getting an actual fifth case was nice.The motives where more pin pointed to specific characters which allowed us to see their best virtues turn against them to get them to kill like Teru's love for his mom and Peko's loyalty for Fuyuhiko.
>>721440492Every Dangan in the wrong spot, impressive.

>>721440724>piss easy casesPractically every Danganronpa case is "piss easy">an actual fifth caseOh youre one of those schizos who got massively triggered by 1-5 for some reason. Carry on schizo.
Danganronpa 2 for me, I really didn't care for the cast in DR1 and the murders were all way too easy to solve.Honorary mention to Rain Code for having a really great cast
>>721441016>>721440724Samefag.
>>721440994You're mad for hearing an opinion you can't even argue against.
>>721418414I think she's supposed to be anon's wife or something.
>>721440492I thought Murder by Numbers was pretty okay. Carried hard by the AA1 composer and the picross. Also most of the games you put in C/D I would put a lot higher. THH over most of those is outrageous.
>>721414508V3 > DR2 > DR1V3 has the sexiest girls
>>721441230meant to reply to >>721440083
>>721441120Don't be a retard.
is shuten order a mystery game?
>>721441149Argue against what? Danganronpa is a baby-tier mystery. You don't play these games for hard to solve mysteries. Pointing towards Danganronpa 2 as being "superior" because the mysteries are harder to solve is "coughing baby vs coughing baby"And 1-5 is simply put ludokino
>>721440941Not that guy but I love Somnium Files, and Gnosia
>>721440492I will doubt a lot of things but overall a pretty based rank
>>721440689I didn't know there were actually people who rated VLR above 999. I mean don't get me wrong I love VLR but 999 is just the better self contained experience.
>>721441536Gnosia had a good idea, and a terrible gameplay design
>>721440801Half of these aren't mystery VNs
>>721440492I'm one of the more hardcore YTTD fans, but tier A? Come on. It's impressive for being a one-man undertaking, but at the same time it really shows in terms of writing.
>>721441260Holy dogshit taste batman kek
I don't care for anime or hanging out with high schoolers, but I played Danganronpa because detective games are my favorite2 > 1 >>>>>>> 32 simply has the best cases. I don't thnk any of the games are super good, but there's something to like about them
>>721414508With Danganronpa its as simple as counting1 > 2 > V3
>>721441497A big appeal of the trials is the justification for the murder. The motives in the first game appealed to the most basic human instinct like greed, pride and envy, while the motives of the second game where made specifically to appealed to the virtues of the cast like their love, loyalty, perseverance, etc. The trials are easy but DR1 actively insults the player's intelligence like giving us the literal name of the murderer in the first case or having Kyoko solve the case before the trial even starts but still having to eat up all the stupid shit the entire cast regurgitates. The second and third game at least made the overall cast smarter by allowing us to agree with them.
SEX WITH Akane
Did they really need to include Makoto's bare ass in the Danganronpa art book?
>>721440994>Practically every Danganronpa case is "piss easy"There's a difference between "the case is easy" and "the murderer is obvious before the body is even found or as soon as it is"
>>721442063you point to the motives and then point to teruteru. who didnt even have a motive given by monokuma kek, maybe go play the game.
>>721442097>Did they really need to include Makoto's bare assYes, anon you need to learn to appreciate men ass
>>721442223You're beyond retarded.

>>721414508100line is the best danganronpa game.
>>721442349kek concession accepted ESL macaco. i too really loved the motive teruteru was given by monokuma.
>>721414508Did a tally after 100 posts:1 > 2 > 3: 71 > 3 > 2: 21 on top: 132 > 1 > 3: 22 > 3 > 1: 32 on top: 103 > 1 > 2: 23 > 2 > 1: 23 on top: 6
Shuten order is the best 100line game
THH should get extra points just for Sayaka thesis alone
>>721442494What concession? You're too busy drooling on your own fecal matter to have an actual discussion. You couldn't even read my post correctly.
>>721442401Yeah, I think Danganronpa kind of sucks, DR2 is just the best one.
I like Harukawa MakiSo I like v3
>>721436784>The "remake" part of the game is actually simulated reruns of the original DR2, Team Danganronpa from V3 recovered the original rehabilitation program and used it to do killing game dry runs with the remaining data to refine their flashback light technology.>Using this they do the same thing they did in V3 by taking a gaggle of randos sufficiently close in appearance, then modifying them and rewiring their brains to make one to one copies of all the participants to do the real killing game which is 2x2's story>At the end instead of the DR1 survivors coming to rescue them it's the V3 survivors>End reveals that Team Danganronpa has a greater purpose in mind than simply using the killing games for fun and profit. Tsumugi's description of them was only half true in keeping with V3's fact vs fiction theme, and she may have been just as much of a memory altered victim as everyone else.>DR5: DistrVst teasedI'd kneel.
>>721442774goalpost status: orbit
>>721443130I've had pretty much this exact thought. I don't think they'll do it, I feel like the twist they're going for will be okay for people playing 1 -> 2 -> 2x2 and 1 -> 2x2, as opposed to requiring 1 -> 2 -> v3 -> 2x2.But I'd love it if the survivor trio showed up, they're my favorite characters
>>721420274>1 has the best charactersThat it kills off as soon as they were starting to get development. Leaving such deep characters such as Weedman or the stock Yandere as your survivors.
>>721436784Kodaka said 2x2 messes with v3's ending so it has to be related to v3 somehow
>>721443471Kodaka hinted there's ties to V3 in an interview, so I'm optimistic.
>>7214145082>1>v3>>>>>>UDG
>>721443603Toko is great and Hiro is actually funny. I will take Hiro over DR2's """"""""""""comic relief""""""""""""" trio Soda Sonia Akane any day lol
>>721443785DR2's cast really is over 50% comic relief characters and yet it's by far the unfunniest Kodaka game. Honestly probably BECAUSE of the overly represented comic relief.Monokuma, Monomi, Akane, Souda, Sonia, Nekomaru, Gundham, Mikan, Hiyoko, Ibuki, Teruteru are all comic relief. Shit sucks.
>>721443785>Toko is great and Hiro is actually funnyToko is dog shit until UDG had to complete rework her character and Hiro is just a hit or miss, but misses more often. The good DR2 characters had to be sacrificed in order to make the trials better unlike in DR1 where the only characters that mattered made it to the end.
>>721444063>Toko is dog shitToko is awesome. She's pure chaos in an otherwise more grounded game. She works perfectly specifically in Danganronpa 1.
>>721439750Would Mukuro be the mastermind there?
>>7214145081>V3>2
>>721444178She's just an screaming retard that does nothing like most characters in the franchise. If UDG didn't existed she would be a bottom of the barrel character nobody would care about.
>>721440445Thinking it has the best cases, fine. But if you think it has the best motives, you're actually retarded. Not only does it have the worst motives, but it plays basically every single one of them completely straight. Even Nagito's motive in his kino case is the most basic shit and arguably the least interesting part of it, only until you get to the end does it get flipped on its head and becomes as kino as the rest of the case.
>>721439968Yeah it would have been kino but it probably would have been about as popular as Hotel Dusk.
>>7214145082 and it's not really close.Everyone is a fucking dipshit or an asshole in 1 and V3 is just a meme.
>>7214145081 and it's not really close.Everyone is a fucking dipshit or an asshole in 2 and V3 is just a meme.
>>721444247Doubt it but who knows since the early idea was that your choices would determine who died. Obviously that's way too ambitious with all the variables and had to be scrapped but they did at least think of other routes the story could take.
He's going to survive 2x2. Any naysayer is coping and seething.
>>721414508For me it's SDR2 and V3 are around the same level of good and they are both above THH.UDG is pretty bad, specially the gameplay.
>>721414508S and it's not really close.Everyone is a fucking dipshit or an asshole in 1 and 2, and V3 is just a meme.
>>721444661Back to your containment board
>>721444780Nah.
For anyone wondering why the thread took on a dark turn, it's because the /vg/trannies raided.
We already got Zanki Zero but I want more mystery/dungeon crawler hybrids. Maybe I gotta make it myself.
>>721444040This, but from this gaggle of shit there's some hope to see some interesting characters. Kazuichi is a pretty good character when he's not hung up on Sonia, so kill her off and I want to see Nekomaru have an arc over failing Akane when she dies. Other than that, I think keeping Teruteru around is a decent idea because he has a pretty high EQ if you check out any side content. I hope most fan "favorites" die off still because they're so fucking shit.
>>721445278This is a very based post. Also hoping for survivor Teru or at least lasting til late game.
Danganronpa is kinda like Professor Layton to me. In both games the retarded endings usually ruin the story for me, but I'd almost be disappointed if 2x2 didn't try to do some retarded shit as well
>>721445459If we somehow get a Mahiru protagonist, we could have those three I mentioned as survivors and then throw in Peko as the last survivor. It'd salvage the complete garbage that was the original survivor cast, aside from Fuyuhiko. Pure cope, I know, but the fact that they're remaking the game with the worst cast gives them a chance to fix their mistakes.
>>721445724I rescind my based comment. Kaz was a great survivor because he makes feminists and incels who wanted to self-insert as him seethe.
2x2
>>721445937Kazuichi was a shit survivor because he was an unfunny punchline the whole game, take Sonia away and I think he'd be a pretty good survivor. He's the only survivor I see being able to beat the odds and survive again.
>>721445724Protag swap would be fun but I doubt we'd get another v3 situationTwo simultaneous protagonists would be cool
>>721446353I just don't want Hajime again, he's so fucking lame. Nagito would be really fun, but I'm scared they'd absolutely slaughter his intelligence if he's the protagonist.
