wtf was that ending

V3 (and the series as a whole)'s ending hits like an iron ball dropping on your head, expect it actually misses, so the author has to come out of his hiding maul with you an iron ball himself, after which he blames innocent people for having bad taste (because they liked something he wrote).

But you know what, that's taking the ending at face value, in the first place I didn't even identify with the "outside audience" shown in the last trial, I genuinely was just confused then lol. I can do some lifting myself and try to cherry pick which parts were the final mastermind were lying about and which parts are true, as well as make assumption about K1-B0's true nature to arrive a conclusion I would be personally fine with (because it is oPeN tO iNtErPrEtAtIoN, god I generally dislike such type of ending, I want to see what someone else wrote damn it, not "imagine what you want to see"). And I did, now I feel like I have become the Ultimate Cope (and makes me feel like I'm defending the author, which sucks because I don't want to do it, people bigger than me should fend off for themselves), though this prevents the previous parts of the series from losing significance at least (hostage situation).

Or you know, you can also just follow "this takes in an alternate continuity", that's from the author himself I think and its the easiest way around (in the case you dislike this one's ending). Although personally I like making things harder for myself.

10 out of "I'm having unholy thoughts about Kaede".

98% of the game is good

This game existing is proof that god doesn't. The worst installment of the worst IP ever.

Biggest waste of money and time ever.

This is my favorite one out of the three games and that's primarily because this one hits the balance between good story telling and good gameplay:

The Best Class Trial Gameplay:
Class Trials in the previous games were fine. They served their purpose in helping you figure out the crime. To say I had fun with them would be a lie. This game helps shake up the monotony of class trials in a number of ways. First, it has the best minigames in the series: The best version of hangman's gambit, and logic taxi (mind mite is also there). Additionally, there's mass panic debates and scrum debate. The former is a great chance of pace from normal non-stop debates while the later has banger music.

Exploration:
After the lackluster setting of the second game we are now back to first person 3-D exploration. The setting of this game is cool visually and it certainly feels great to explore though it doesn't capture the same feelings as the first games setting.

The Mysteries:
They were all pretty alright for the most part. None really stands out in my mind outside of chapter 4.

The Story:
The story is pretty divisive and it is for good reason. Let's just say I like the ending and think it's the perfect ending for this series.

The Side modes:
This is the true strength of this game. The prior games had absolute jokes for side modes, but here? We've side modes that helps capture what everyone always wanted.

First, the resource management modes of the prior games have been replaced with a dating sim. Makes sense.

Second, there is a board game mode that helps show you a what if scenario where all the characters from all 3 games went to school together. No killing, no strings attached. I loved this mode. Seeing how certain characters would interact is great and the game mode has loads of replayability.

Additionally, you level up the character you pick for that board game mode and can then use that character in a rudimentary dungeon crawling turned based rpg mode. I'm a sucker for turn-based rpgs as long as they aren't slow and boring, which this one isn't.

So yeah. I like this game because of the gameplay mostly. That's why it's my favorite.

its absoloutley amazining

The visuals have improved quite alot, the music was good, character cast had its highs and lows as usual, the cases were also solid. All in all what you would expect from a Danganronpa sequel, if ther wasnt the awfull writing which cumlulated in one of the most cringe conclusions to a strory I have ever witnessed.

I dont want to spoil anything here but the intention from the writer was quite clear to whine about how he did not want to create another Danganronpa and to tell the audience to ♥♥♥♥ off. I mean he could also just not make the game instead of scamming money off people to make them witness that tantrum disguised as storyline.

It is very tempting to click "not recommend" here after watching that trainwreck of a conclusion unfold, but that would not be fair since all but the final Chapter was an quite enjoyable experience all things considered.

TLDR: 95% of the game is good, the last 5% is atrocious

i love this game but i keep getting stuck on the last trial its too complicated

sigma sigma on the wall
