People always say he carried the game, but did he really?

Dangan Ronpa 2 was just okay. I had to force my way through the tower house. Then you finally get to HIS case and it was a non-stop roller coaster. Made the mediocrity of the previous cases pay off.

Primarily Gundham, Nagito, and Mikan, yeah.
Which is 3 more decent cast members than the other games had.

I think Hajime's cynicism generally makes a lot of the game more tolerable than it would be otherwise.

The mysteries carry the game more.
Chiaki makes it more bearable if you're a waifufag for her.

The game simply wouldn't work without someone to play an antagonistic figure. Where the first game had most of the cast distrustful of each other, SDR2 has everyone get along easily from the get-go, and Monokuma's too remote and impersonal to play the villain all by himself, so Komaeda ensures there's some tension in the group.

100 lines is 100 hours of fanfiction dedicated to the archetype and that's exactly why it's trash. Nagito worked because the game wasn't about nagito, the whole point of the archetype to seed distrust

Always imitated, never replicated. Not even his creator managed to do it. Danganronpa was a mid series but DR2 with Nagito around especially 2-5 stands among the absolute best mystery VN experiences the genre could provide like presenting the metal detector in ace attorney, the 999 DS twist or THAT moment in Ghost Trick. Traditional mystery novels never came close

I think DR2 is the weakest game of the trilogy, but Nagito is the only reason why it even remotely functions as a narrative as >>714600143 already said.

Ouma would've unironically been a better character if half of him wasn't trying to be Komaeda 2.0.

2-5 was a huge hit with the fanbase, Kodaka had to take inspiration from it for V3-5. And I think it paid off I really liked V3-5.

for those who haven't, play Another 1 and 2

the translation for 1 is super shit after chapter 1, but still understandable if you're fluent in english. Another 2 is PEAK, and honestly, the only "bad" chapter there is 6, but 1 through 5 are fucking great

and guess what? the third case in Another 2 is also probably my favorite case in all of Danganronpa, it's that fucking good

I was legit going to skip V3 like I did UDG, but my friend begged me to give it a chance. I was so happy when Shuichi fills in as the protagonist. Kodaka knows male protags sells games.

1 doesn't have gimmick characters, but 2 has a twist in the prologue that makes the Monokuma-like creature in this game a gimmick character, rather than the mastermind. As I said, it's a twist in the prologue, but I'll tag it all the same One of the students is revealed as the actual mastermind behind everything in the first 30 min of the game. The Monokuma of this game is second to their authority.

>>714604097
1 has a male MC
2 has a female MC, but she's such a blank slate in the beginning that it barely affects the plot

while you can play them out of order, I'd highly recommend playing 1, then 2, since they share lore and characters. The translation in 1 isn't so bad that you should skip to 2.

Ok that was my biggest concern really. I can look past the female MC if the game doesn't ship her with anyone.

jesus, I don't know why you have such a vendetta against female MCs, but no, there's nothing like shipping in 2. While one of the characters is a Tsundere that lots of people tease about how she only likes being close to the MC, it never goes further than bait. The MC also participates in the teasing, so it's never anything serious. also, the MC is actually secretly obsessed with one of the male characters, but I won't spoil the circumstances surrounding this fact, as it's part of a huge spoiler

They drag the game down. It's the same reason why Kodaka has never made a female rival in a mainline DR games. They don't work. Now you guys say 2 is really good so I'll give it a fair chance.

Danganronpa as a series really is an anomaly to me. With such a cool premise it really should've been a slam dunk, but whenever I rewatch a playthrough or such I always find myself feeling underwhelmed, like it's just a bunch of hype moments tied together with a flimsy string. I wish it had a more grittier tone.
