>game presents you a life changing question

>>716176501 (OP)
does this nigga really wanna keep making this game for 10 years

I took the pinkpill instead. Now, I take estrogen and goon my tiny white pecker to white women breeding with brown men. I’m so much happier now :)

Any new players around?

>>716181607
Unfortunately still probably the coolest part of the game

>>716181962
Almost everybody falls for it.

>>716182239
Being mean to him should result in an immediate game over.

>>716182754
It kind of does, although it’s not immediate.

And then the torture of Serial Battles before they let you skip it

The saddest thing ive ever heard was this game actually making money. What an actual pile of shit

>>716183445
Ive played way worse. Its by far better than rain codd

>>716184017
>Its by far better than rain codd
It is definitely not better than Rain Code, and I played Hundred Line for 130 hours before getting burned out.

>>716184113
Im 150 hours in this. And although its nowhere near my favourite i think its way better than rain code.

>>716184113
>>716184261
I really loved it but I also just looked up what routes are where after I hit the SF lock since I didn’t want to have to blindly search for the required endings. I only have 28 endings or so after finishing everything I wanted. I think playing blind unfortunately is one of the worst ways to play the game, along with not backing out of a route that seems like it’ll not be interesting to you (I did that with romance immediately)

>>716182239

Kyoshika should be my gf.

>>716184787
Im the guy with 130 hours. My first route was the Slasher Route leading to the intro where basically the entire route gets explained, Hiruko kissed you and you both blow up. It was pretty kino. After that? The one with the zombies, which kinda sucked. Then Comedy, which was horrendous. I think they were all "meh" to "bad" until I got the Killing Game route, which was pretty good.
My system for playing the game was getting to the end of a route, and then working my way backwards from there. So basically, I killed Eito and then did every single thing I could do in the dead Eito timeline before I even started the other half of the flowchart, which is when I immediately reached the SF timeline, an orgasmic moment of getting soooo much explained to me at once.
After that, it was back to doing really "meh" routes like Box of Blessings and Romance. At one point I tried to make as many dumb decisions as I could and it led me to one of the best endings I've seen, which is where you lead the survivors of your doomed timeline to another timeline where those exact people died, resulting in a happy ending. The game does have a lot of good moments, but there's just so much bullshit between them and it wastes my time.
The silver lining is that I saw a tierlist and most of the top tier routes are ones I apparently have not played, like the Retsnom timeline, which I know from having visited it from the SF timeline. I'm wondering what that's going to be. Also, apparently the most played timeline is something called "Second Scenario", which I don't even know how to reach. (Don't tell me how though, it's probably just a bunch of "good" decisions)
What really demotivates me though is that I heard that the game does not really have one satisfying ending. It's not like the individual routes are good at all. I really hoped it would all be worth it, because I can't really treat each route as its own story.

>>716186792
So did you finish SF? I would say that All 17 would qualify as the satisfying ending at least for me. Shame you saved 2nd scenario for the end I think it’s much better as one of the first. Retsnom is the Darumi route and my personal favorite, which should make sense why considering what happens from saving the 2nd academy first.

If you weren’t satisfied from SF then don’t know what to say about whatever’s left for you. You’ll probably like 2nd scenario at least, I would highly recommend Retsnom myself as well.

>>716179976
Darumi is so god damn cute
>>716186792
>does not really have one satisfying ending
Because for the most part they all come with a catch, and the foresight of seeing how the other routes have gone up to that point.

>>716188513
Damn that’s a good fanart! Surprised I hadn’t seen that one yet

>>716176501 (OP)
>start working my way back from goodbye last defense academy
>hit casual route
I think it did a decent job at being unsettling with the cage section. Though I am curious of how the route actually looked to everyone other than Takumi.

>>716189489
I don’t quite like the working your way back method myself, if you haven’t done the kill Eito side before at least. Or some of them.

Doing that leads to a certain route that I feel works better after seeing the kill Eito’s since it has some key pieces of info that I would say lessens the mysteries of the kill routes because you’d have more of an idea of what’s going on

>>716191047
If you're talking about there being an actual time machine somewhere on the school and presumably in the other one as well because how else would V'ehxness get access to it to bring over commanders from other timelines in the serial battles at this point I've already seen it. I do find it a bit ridiculous because of how casually it's mentioned, but it was the only snippet of interesting story from that route. Choosing decisions blindly to reach the end of a route and then exploring all the possible branches before swapping over to the other decision is just how I play these kinds of games.

>>716191574
Im talking about Box of Calamity actually. I would say leave that one for the last of the “required” routes for a better experience but if you prefer to know what’s going on rather than be in the dark for longer feel free to continue on it once you find it.

He literally did nothing wrong

>>716192515
Fuck no. He did everything wrong.

So besides 0 and 2nd Scenario, Killing Games was the best route, right? Easily the most consistent one

>>716192837
Wrong

>>716192902
Still my fav.

I see mixed opinions on KG, I liked it for the most part but I still hold the cucking thing against it and Tsubasa and Darumi. Soured me quite a bit on those two and the route. Retsnom after helped alleviate those feelings but still fuck KG Darumi

>>716182416
>pick kiss
>you end up with three completely different girls wanting to kiss you
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

>>716193237
Cropped part of this comic in case you haven’t seen the other path yet but yeeeeep. That’s what you get for wanting to kiss girls you get to kiss more girls but not her

>>716193237
>the whole plot of the game in general gets sidelined while Takumi tries to figure out which girl to French kiss
Admittedly one of the worst routes for new players to accidentally stumble into first.

>>716193724
And the easiest if you go off what feels like the right thing to do. Well, until there but it did sound reasonable since Hiruko said that to have an excuse not to tell you the truth because she thinks you wouldn’t do it. Fuck you I’ll do it! Whoops

Although admittedly I back tracked after seeing both results of the next decision after telling the truth since that had to be better. My main goal once I first got to the “real” game was trying to find the route where no one dies

Where's that fucking dlc, 10 years my ass.

It's kind of fucking insane that Kodaka regressed so hard

DR2 was him just having fun and it was great for it, DRV3 was fine but didn't really do anything special except the ending if you want to be a retard who argues about the ending, Death Come True was dogshit, World's End Club was dogshit, Rain Code was very bad, and this is even worse because it's 5 times the length and bloated with completely stupid routes written by people who have no idea what they're doing

Who the fuck thought this game was a good idea? He just made it for the sake of making a 100 ending game

>>716194248
I think it’s good so long as you just do what interests you. And I’ve been happy and looking at everyone doing everything/doing it blind and being miserable. Also be open to just backing out of a route that doesn’t interest you. I backed out of romance as soon as it told me what was going to be happening the next 75 days and I wanted to get back to the Hiruko plot. No Comedy or BoB for me!

>>716194248
4 games and 2 animes, I don't blame Kodaka for wanting to make something new.

Also calling Hundred Line worse than Rain Code shows that you did not play Hundred Line, now go back to your dangan threads.

>>716194926
I just explained why it's worse than rain code, it's far longer for no benefit so any even partially good parts are bogged down in 20 hours of complete shit that should not have been included

YOU didn't play fucking hundred line speaking this way, rain code has logical issues in its cases and stupid shit nonstop but hundred line has all of that in addition to being offensively boring for a large chunk of its excessive runtime

>>716195013
Nigga, no one talks about Rain Code anymore, and yet people are still talking about Hundred Line, that alone should tell you that rain code is a boring ass story with unmemorable characters.

>>716195191
They're not talking about it anymore because it's ONE GAME that came out TWO YEARS AGO and hundred line is a 150 hour monster game that came out recently you FUCKING disingenuous little piece of shit

KILL yourself

>>716195281
You sure sound mad, don't worry, I'm sure rain code 2 will come out one day (it won't, get ready for 10 years of hundred line you little bitch :)

>>716195191
Eh it’s been out like 2 months and the /v/ discussions tend to die pretty early if I don’t notice them and bump them with fanart until someone else comes in to talk. Pretty close to dead here

I always use this one at least once cause it’s great

I read the comedy route and dropped the game after 80 hours

>>716195536
This illiterate motherfucker rolls into a thread and thinks you're defending rain code instead of attacking hundred line, what do you do?

>>716195540
Danganronpa 1 wasn't a huge hit at the start when it came out, it wasn't until danganronpa 2 that it started getting traction.

I took the blackpill, and can't do back.

>>716195618
You are the only retard I've seen calling rain code better than hundred line, of course I would call it out.

>>716195726
>"this dogshit is slightly better than this other dogshit"
>"noooo you can't just call my dogshit dogshit you must love this other dogshit"
It's unsurprising that a hundred line diehard can't read

>>716195612
>more than 50% of the entire Comedy route is Free Time days
At least it's easy to farm everyone to max friendship, since everyone except Eito is there for the entire routes.

>>716195653
I dunno if this’ll have the same experience. This had a core audience of Danganronpa fans of his that all showed up to buy it and now they’ve all played it. Don't think it’ll be getting a resurgence among the average gamer since everyone into Kodaka games has probably played it by now.

At least not unless he actually does come out with dlc (I assume that won’t be for awhile since they didn’t even know if they’d make money in the game)

>>716195946
hundred line also doesn't have the snappy appeal of danganronpa's setting and multiple games keeping it relevant over time, it's one game that is so long many people will likely drop it halfway through at most

>>716195946
*with

>>716195812
It's not my fault that you can't enjoy a good game for what it is, calling it "completely stupid" without saying why it's stupid shows that you can't be reasoned with because you think you're right and that everyone who likes it is wrong.

>>716195985
ok

I only finished KG and comedy so far and while comedy did get a few smirks out of me KG was way better

>>716195975
It’s a shame that most people will probably get some dogshit route and get turned off. Kodaka said he wanted the game to feel like a manga magazine where you can see all sorts of stories from different authors but that approach doesn’t work if the player goes in blind and ends up reading something they hate because we don’t have the names/information about it ahead of time to have an idea of what you’re getting into.

I did look up the routes, picked and chose, and was happy but it is pretty unfortunate that the average player will most likely not go as far as spoiling themselves like I did with that surprisingly being a better experience.
>>716196074
I think doing the kick option next would be best after KG but the one I did after which ended up being a personal favorite of mine is on the spare Eito side where you have to pick a school. One of the options leads to a Darumi route and it made me able to stop hating her after KG

>>716195975
That depends, if a tagline like "the game with the most endings ever" can bring in more people to it.

Any game can become an overnight sensation with the right push.

>>716196335
>but that approach doesn’t work if the player goes in blind and ends up reading something they hate
it also doesn't work if the writers don't communicate and have ridiculous inconsistencies between routes which were easily avoidable

>>716196480
slasher revive o matic versus CoA Takumi being brought back from just his fucking legs.

Yeah that’s pretty bad too. Probably mostly worse on the kill routes since Kodaka assisted with most of the 2nd scenario branches. Just not Conspiracy, Casual, CoA, BoB or BoC.

The don’t tell the truth also don’t have him but I wouldn’t consider those branches of 2nd scenario

It's interesting how there's a sort of invisible route order to this game. Not getting certain routes at certain times can definitely hurt your opinion on them and the game as a whole
>2nd scenario in one of your earliest routes is better because a lot of the mysteries for it are nonchalantly solved in other routes, leaving just the big one near the end
>CoA has the opposite problem where it's kind of a letdown if you get it early because of how Shonen it is, whereas it would taste better after you see everyone go through hell multiple times and you just want something nice
>Romance and Comedy are awful to get early because hot off the heels of kino you're in SOL or Sleep Time hell
>Bug stuff would be a fun meta-mystery that the player could theorize and try to piece together, which would be axed entirely if they got Box of Calamity early instead of really late
>SF obviously wants to be one of if not the last route you do
Wonder where the DLC routes will place

>>716196705
DLC could either be further branches in specific cases where there was barely any choices (Retsnom and Cult come to mind), or it's a Takumi that jumps all the way to Day 1 with bits of the previous 100 routes in his mind to work with such as Eito not being bad, he was just fanfic'd that way by humanity. You could more easily split things off in more directions from there, at least.

>>716196705
I kind of guided a friend of mine to the proper order, I also think 2nd is better as one of the first since it’s such a fucking downer you want to seek a happier end . Probably not what I’d recommend as 1st though since it makes you do all the days and also go to the cafeteria manually like the 1st route. Saw plenty of people get burned out from that including my friend.

The one thing I desperately want/hope for people playing the game is to NOT do BoC before the kill routes otherwise you lose all the mystery. And then KG before Slasher works better since you then have all sorts of theories as to what could be going on. SF lock early helps to have an open mind to what’s going on as well.

>>716184017
>shit is better than vomit

>>716197142
You're already both of those, Shouma

Surprisingly seductive Darumi I saw

I like seeing a western art style that isn’t turbo gay/tumblr faggy

Cartoonish take on the characters is fun

>>716195612
Why do people marathon the comedy route? Just leave for a bit and come back to it to upgrade items and characters. It’s basically a free roam mode. Do it inbetween other routes.

>>716199363
I feel the same. Stop reading something you’re not interested in.

>>716196705
There better be one in Conspiracy, that shit ass route needs something going for it.

>>716199943
Nope turn back and maybe romance Darumi instead.

Love Darumi

>>716200326
I wouldn't mind a Retsnom route where they don't bother with Retsnom at all, make it a new route that branches from it.

I just started playing this game. Besides the plot, the gameplay is really mid, tactics revolve around bumrushing the enemy, damaging as much as you can, and then blast off your ultimate. I sincerely hope there isn't a counter keeping track of the times I kill these characters that will affect the plot development. Then there's stuff like gift giving, very obvious you should give everyone a gift at least once, then do free time and library as needed.

Story's not too bad though, I just got to the point where they revealed there's a second school (and I bet there's a third school? There's a curious line about the "main campus"), and I still haven't lost interest in the plot.

Leaving thread now, don't bother @ me with your spoilers, just wanna say this game is decent for now.

>>716200621
That’s what I’ve been working off of for alt route ideas for fanfic stuff. Never written fanfic before but the multiple authors and multiple routes has me wanting to make something happier for them.

I saw a Retsnom where they don’t find the info ending up as a 100 day romance route but just with Darumi and I think that would be awesome

>>716200830
>Leaving thread now
You people always say this shit and then sit in the thread anyway waiting for a (You)

Give it 40 hours and you'll want to die

>>716177514
Anon, that's the very definition of cringe and bluepilled.

>>716201185
I could see it as a cheesy "value of life" route where they learn to cherish the lives of those who still live and those who died, and then it ends with Takumi and Darumi kissing.

>>716201185
Go all in on the teen pregnancy and how that affects the dynamics in the SDU and with Sirei/Nigou

>>716201978
Retsnom but actual teen pregnancy is also a thought that came to mind lol. Only issue is a pregnancy would probably not be noticeable in the allotted time/whenever those 2 worked their way up to sleeping with each other. A bit towards the end though maybe!

>Finish the first route, pretty depressed, but there's hope
>Hell yeah, time to go back and make everything right
>This time I'll get that happy ending for everybody, and first things first, killing that four eyed faggot Eito
>Immediately made a pariah, no benefit of the doubt given, everybody I bonded with before now hates me
>mouthpiece character for the developers pretty much looks directly at me through the television screen and says I've already fucked absolutely everything up
>Fuck leaving the school, I ain't no bitch kneeling to threats
>Mfw what happens immediately next
Goddamn it, why is it whenever I do what I want to do in a choose your adventure, it's wrong?

>>716176501 (OP)
But this choice changes nothing.

>>716177205
me
my first route consists of dating 3 girls for 25 days each lmao

>>716204681
Haha, that would happen. Assume you’ll probably do the other option, from there the world is your oyster. Just make sure to back out of routes that seem boring as hell because majority of them make clear what’s going to happen for the rest of the time

>>716204681
>>716193689
Ah yes, the new player experience.

ENTER

>>716205272
The G’ie know what’s up. They’ve got a crazy ass timeline planned out

>>716203065
You want to know the really funny part? No matter what path you go down, none of what happens next is a consequence of killing Eito.

They hated him, for he spoke the truth.

>>716203065
It gets easier if you accept you’re doing the wrong thing as soon as you choose to kill Eito.

I looked at it from a video game perspective. The good ending is of course going to be the one where everyone is alive, including his punk ass. So it wasn’t a surprise seeing what occurs from killing him

>>716203065
Make sure to join the hunt friend! It's unironically one of the best routes.
Also if you leave the school in the future, be sure to kick, not dodge.
>>716205151
My first route was fish comedy, and it nearly made me drop the game.

>>716206741
I don't know what they were thinking putting comedy in such an easy spot for a new player to get to.

>>716206741
Why can’t more people just backtrack on their decisions once they see it’s boring. Just go back and carry on with the plotline being set up before it got wiped away by comedy

>>716206873
It feels like they don't expect people to kill eito as their first choice, despite the fact that fresh off the first 100 days is when someone is going to be most invested in seeing him dead.
>>716206901
I did ultimately do just that, but it had already left a bad taste in my mouth.

Why is my boy Takemaru suddenly being such an asshole on (what I assume is) Killing Game route? Making fun of Supreme Commander-chan's tits was uncalled for. And what happened to not fighting girls?

>>716207253
The situation has gotten completely out of control and is breaking him. He's hostile to Takumi in particular because from his perspective all Takumi has done so far is murder someone for schizo reasons and then dragged everyone into this even more insane situation. If Takumi is from the future why the fuck was this crazy seemingly unstoppable spacesuit guy able to hijack things so easily?
The hostility towards Takumi makes complete sense when you think about it anon.
Also his not fighting girls thing has never been all that serious. He always fights the female commanders without complaint after all.

>>716207539
>He always fights the female commanders without complaint after all.
Maybe for you, I on the other hand stay lore-compliant and merely park him in front of the female commanders with armor as a distraction while Takumi and Kyoshika do what they do best.

>>716205272
kek

>>716205976
fuck you're right

obligatory

>>716205976
That just makes it more egregious. Anyone who's literally JUST finished LDA1 and is starting over is going to have wanting to kill Eito for all the bullshit he's sabotaged fresh in their minds, and the story punishes you mercilessly for it as if it's obviously the stupid choice to pick. Don't give me that "he hasn't done anything evil YET so he's innocent" DC comics shit, bro.

>>716205868
Fucking shrodinger's ghost data brain parasite

>>716208564
You literally catch him attempting a murder so I don't know why the game tries to play it off.

>>716208564
good thing I never played beyong the initial ending

I went in blind, curious about what route i'll get. I don't remember every decision but in principle I choose against killing people since it can't be undone for that timeline. and I wanted to learn as much as possible from this playthrough. I remember that the story still forced a couple of deaths.
I got Eva's route and learned that we are the invaders. Reading how some routes are just trash, I think I got a pretty satisfying route, but many things were still not explained and it's weird that there was no final boss fight, Eva just killed the boss in a cinematic kek.
I know I should play more and get other routes but I feel like this will drag on and I could waste a lot of time getting stupid endings that answer nothing.

>>716209375
They trust you if he's spared because Eito just admits to it all at that point. If he's killed then they have to just believe Takumi and Sirei, which is a bit of a stretch.
Them distrusting Takumi and thinking he's insane is perfectly rational in those circumstances if you bother to think about it from perspectives other than Takumi's. Is that really so difficult for people?

>>716209682
I'm still mad that we got cheated out of that fight in Eva route, it's a fight with 5 of the strongest characters in the game, it would have been great.

Oh well, at least we got pregnant Eva outta it.

redpill = bluepill, take the blackpill and kill all kikes and third worlders (like jannies)

>>716209794
Hindsight being 20/20 what with Sirei dying regardless a better opportunity to kill Eito would have been to just wait until the part where he gets lost during exploration and then just hide his body, though that requires a bit more of Takumi being a borderline fanfiction-tier pragmatic ruthless edgelord than I assume the writers care to do with him.

>>716210253
I was hoping for that kind of route too yeah. Takumi isn't ruthless enough at that point in time for that to occur though.

>>716195013
Hundred Line is better solely by having a more consistent character line up that lets a bulk of them shine individually in multiple scenarios. Rain Code relies on half a dozen one off cases with the same exact hook every time, the same set of Shinigami innuendos overused and am extreme amount of spoonfeeding that drastically kneecaps every single potential twist.
You can do 2 or 3 routes total in Hundred Line, main one included, and come out with a lot more compared to Rain Code which doesn't really have anything. You would only say Rain Code is better if you never actually played the game.

>>716176501 (OP)
No.

Are Takumi's bare buttocks shown in the game? Makoto Naegi's bare buttocks and Nagito's bare buttocks were shown in the Danganronpa animes?

>>716206741
unironically fish comedy was the only even remotely notable comedy path
i dont even remember the bits of the other break offs

>>716209794

Get in line peasant. Everyone on the planet wants to see them.

This game, no joke, got me into VNs and adventure games. I kinda just categorically ignored until HL trojan-horsed me with """strategy gameplay.""" I was really into it for like a month and all up in the /v/ threads, but I must admit it's a convoluted, bloated mess in retrospect. Way too much filler, atrocious gameplay. Some gold nuggets in there, but not nearly enough to justify the repetitive, padded gameplay. I don't regret my purchase as I got about 110 hours of it, but I wouldn't recommend it till it goes on a deep sale.
Darumi still a best.

>>716196480
Unfortunately, that's both the pro and the cons of having guest writers. You give them bare minimum of info so they can write the way they want but in return, there will be massive inconsistencies between routes.

>>716217692
I’d recommend 999 and its sequel VLR as something to check out (Uchikoshi’s games). Split routes with locks requiring knowledge, it is half escape room game though. No filler story wise but the escape rooms do take a bit.

Darumi is still my favorite too

>>716192837
It is extremely funny how basically any time you follow one of Sirei's suggestions it immediately leads to everything blowing up

>>716182416
>falls for it
Going to kiss her results in one of the most successful routes where everyone except Eve survives. It's one of the best choices he can make to achieve his goal.

>>716206513
Based exorcism ending, I love how sometimes what would be maybe a 30-second bad end in any other game gets fleshed out to an insane degree

This is a great game and the DLC announcement fills me with hope for the future
if you liked it, be sure to play the danganronpas too. They're great, much shorter games, available on PC and can be done in a few hours so you can play them inbetween your Hundred Line routes.

>>716225414
They're pretty cheap on sale too, be sure to buy them

>>716224951
It’s also funny that anytime the game hints at what decision you should make it’s always the “correct” choice, EXCEPT for when it’s Sirei

>>716227239
One of the most fucked up endings is escaping with her to live happily together on the run, and falling asleep leaning on each other only for a fucking bee to appear and mummify her in her sleep, and the credits rolling before we get to see him wake up and react to it. Not seeing the reaction is somehow more horrifying than being shown it

An actual THL thread that ain't dying 5 posts in? Nice. Personally, I'm almost done with the game, and I'm currently on the serial battles path right now after I've finished. I admit that I'm a newfaggot when it comes to games directed by Kodaka, but I enjoyed this game a ton and it honestly makes me want to try DR 1-V3 at some point (especially since I already got them purchased lmao)
>>716196705
I can't help but agree with this take, by the way. I first had the slasher route as my first, so it being followed up with BoC which gave more insight into it really did make it a better experience. Same with playing CoA after experiencing the more depressing endings.
Also, kinda curious as to how the threads for this game where like when it came out months ago? What was the general consensus?

>>716228007
Probably one of the meaner endings in the game. I would say it’s probably the worst one for me since it’s like the one I just don’t want to remember and other ones are like yeah damn that sucks

>>716228547
Honestly, I feel the bad end to CoT probably fucked me up the most considering how that route goes

>>716228541
They were pretty fun. I was there so early people were still doing the NANANANA NANANANA posting because that climax was so great. You can see some discussion still in /vg/ but it’s pretty open about spoilers although I try to avoid it when someone shows up that’s still playing.

Glad this running joke from the start has still managed to stick around for people

You’ll probably like Danganronpa. It’s the same formula as HL where you free time until stuff happens but instead of fights it’s a murder mystery you investigate then debate

Haven't touched this shit in like 1 month.
I'm missing 2 top routes and serial battles, I wanted to leave SF for last (still haven't gone beyond the first lock).
Where do I find the strenght to finish it /v/?

>>716210086
>image
Takumi is quite the funny guy.

>>716228541
>I admit that I'm a newfaggot when it comes to games directed by Kodaka
Tribe Nine sold me on the art style of these games, which got me to buy 100L too fucking bad about the absolute state of Tribe Nine though

>>716208316
same vibe as

Any Darumi romance in any of the routes?

>>716231943
Killing Game and Retsnom.

>>716231943
afaik, it's only retsnom that has it
>>716232006
>KG
i admit the idea of them making out so he can technically get tsubasa's first kiss to be hot, but still i wouldn't call what actually goes on in that route to be romantic between them

>>716182239
And then I shot Aster

I do hope kodaka releases more dlc routes

>>716231943
Retsnom is the Darumi route would highly recommend

After 120 hours, I can say that this game is pretty bad.
I was coping the entire time that the "True" route would be good, but it isn't.

The chinks saved Hundred Line.
Expect HL characters in your chink gachas

>>716232724
>french
easy way to dismiss your opinion, now go back to your baguette, ahmed

>>716232886
>Not dismissing the main point.
I accept your concession.

>Stumble onto Killing Game
>Pettanko Commander cucks me out of getting a execution on boss, so no reward
>Fast forward two fucking weeks, no free time
Tell me this doesn't become a reoccurring thing. You guys said this route was good.

>>716233127
Killing game's lack of free time is one of it's strong points actually. You'll understand after seeing all the free time padding in plenty of other routes.
Getting cucked out of commander kills is a recurring theme on every route.

>>716233127
>free time
Zero this route
>fast forwarding through days
Not gonna happen in KG. It's the 3rd longest route in the game

>>716233327
>>716233127
>>716233423
There are some free times at the end of the route. The route really ends on day 86, 86+ is just slop to get to 100 days and give you some free time.

>>716233127
>Pettanko Commander

>>716232724
Probably more bad than good but I didn’t play those routes so I came out pretty happy. I enjoyed SF’s ending but was disappointed by how bitchy Hiruko was in it (also a little lackluster not getting any 3d cutscenes for it unlike 2nd scenario)

>>716232559
me too, this game was clearly rushed and guest writters werent communicating with each other about who does what so we still have things to explore
>>716232875
i wonder if Kodaka will pander to China with dlc and give extra love to characters who are popular over there

>>716233327
>>716233423
>>716233563
That's kind of annoying, what's the point of all this BP if I never get a chance to use it on anyone to get stronger. I'll just zip over back to LDA1 and build everyone up over there. Clearly the writers didn't want me doing KG so early. Or maybe they're just assholes, I dunno.

>>716233713
By 'True' Route, I was talking about the Second Scenario. It was total dogshit. The characters are insufferable faggots.
Is SF better?

>>716233730
KG was my first route after getting locked out elsewhere. I think I just forgot about the upgrades until I got free time again lol

>>716233875
>The characters are insufferable faggots.
If you think that, then I doubt you're gonna enjoy a route where you're paired with a character who's mostly a bitch

>>716233730
If you are im need of free time, Comedy is 2 choices away from your path.
You can keep just keep it as a reserve route whenever whatever you are on gets too heavy, to unwind

>>716233875
Oh that. I liked SF since it’s the one where you can save everyone and that was satisfying . I’ve seen people be split on it but it seems to come down to if you like Hiruko in it a lot or not since it’s very her focused.

>>716234102
>Locking my wife's route behind a timeline where I have to spare that faggot Eito
I'm so exhausted.

>>716234516
You can do it, man. Do it for her.

I think my biggest issue with the game is regarding this bitch, spoilers ahead so beware.

Really, it's extremely annoying how she refuses to clear things up for our character multiple times and we just take it. We figure out that there's stuff going on with her really early, but you just get stuck in the dissapointing loop of "I'm gonna ask Hiruko what's up" and then it's just "Oh she went away", like, go after her or something? Muh she refuses to talk or whatever just gets extremely annoying and prevents me from having suspesion of disbelief when it happens multiple times in a row. Just block her, force her to talk, IDK, making we go through multiple rounds of "Hiroko went away on her own" is just infuriating, and even the SF route has a ton of this up until a certain point. It just makes me get annoyed at the char

>>716231943
Not enough

>>716235113
It sort of makes sense considering any time she spoils the future it went horrible for her so she refuses to unless things are either screwed (slasher/BoC) or being super convinced due to Takumi also looping and keeping it a secret (SF)

>>716236341
it just doesn't make sense to me narratively that she can wriggle away from the questions with a simple "walks away" every time when she literally spends basically 24/7 in the same building as takumi every day. They should've had her give a bullshit excuse or something at least rather than just ignore it entirely

>>716234516
I mean the main slasher route is also kind of her route too.

>>716235113
uchikoshi basically called dibs on this character and for the second playthrough its like she was off limits for any other guest writer

As someone that likes this game its a total drag, repetition, repetition, repetition, so i play a route every once in a while to rest

anyone else played with the new despair difficulty? it completely reverses the game balance oozuki and everyone with shields is god tier

>>716239110
Sounds like it needed to be an option from the start.

Was Eito being evil supposed to be a plot twist? It definitely wasn't, right? I knew he couldn't be trusted the moment I opened the menu for the very first time and saw that his profile said he disliked ugly things. That's literally a generic evil villain trait and they just give the information freely.

>>716239569
Honestly, I just chalked that up to it not meaning anything that deep. If anything, though, his attack names should've been a red flag. Who the fuck else would have such names as
>Judge
>Jury
>EXECUTIONER
And end up being a good guy? Honestly makes me feel retarded for not noticing it.

>>716239569
i mean everyone hates ugly things, most people arent very open about it, for me it was during some crisis when he showed extreme competency and then tried to play it off ''haha im not a good leader, you should be the leader tatsumi ahaha''

>>716239569
I think the idea is he’s so obvious that it felt like a red herring. His likes and dislikes are similar to that of another white haired rival/antagonist who turns out to be a psychopath from Danganronpa so I had me eye on him from the start but mostly as a ‘they wouldn’t give it away that easily right?’

>>716176501 (OP)

>>716239569
I knew he was at least suspicious when his weapon turned out to be a fucking scythe with those move names while being a nice guy

So how does Takumi being able to go back in time and jump between branches work with the fact that, from I've been spoiled by thanks to images, he apparently fucking dies in some endings? Non-canon, or are those just glorified game over screens?

>>716241495
Jumping branches is for the convenience of the player, each Takumi is in his own isolated timeline with no knowledge of any others besides the route zero they all originate from

The one actually seeing everything over and over is Hiruko

Mai waifu's route (Retsnom) was one of the best ones and very wholesome. Shame she's not there in other branches ( the box of calamity/blessing routes.. fuck.)

>>716241774
The absolute fucking state of all the Takumis that chose to kill Eito, then. Talk about ruining your second chance.

>>716239110
>with the new despair difficulty?
wtf?? the game was patched with some hard mode?? after a while the game becomes very easy if you almost max out the chars' skills.. could be interesting

>>716240592
>dark web search
lmao

>>716239110
I did, but I already beat everything in the game before that difficulty came out, waiting for dlc to do that difficulty,

>>716242000
>special attacks cost 2 AP
>all enemies do 100 damage to anyone without a shield

I think there was one more thing but I forgot

>>716242000
in despair difficutly using last blows costs 2 ap and everything oneshots you unless you have a shield on

>>716242174
That sounds like utter cancer in a game with same turn reinforcements.

If they didn't nerf Tsubasa or raise the enemies' HP values significantly, they didn't change the difficulty.

>>716242167
>>716242174
uh
that's more a meme mode rather than a hard mode

>>716241940
Most of what goes wrong in those routes is Hiruko's fault though

I've been playing this game very slowly because I'm playing it with someone else and I think that's helped because we don't feel burnt out yet and we're 38 endings in now. The only ending that felt like a waste was the fish route, I enjoyed Comedy route otherwise.

>>716241785
I genuinely think retsnom made me like her so much that it almost feels like a shame that we only get a peek into who she is beneath the act. like i desperately wanted more moments where she was honest around Takumi, man :(
>>716241940
I know some anons were bitching about it before, and I don't blame them, but I do like the fact that killing Eito guarantees to give you a darker route (KG, Slasher, Mystery). I know the comedy route goes against that, but I honestly think it fits to have something that seems like the best route on this path to be a retarded shitpost than anything really serious.

>>716242303
You can't sack units anymore for voltage because it costs 2 AP now, so it's a bit harder to set up your death rush now.

>>716242167
>>all enemies do 100 damage to anyone without a shield
Bruh this is absurd.. especially when characters have like 15-17hp MAX or smthing low like that... wtf were they thinking?!
gotta max out the defense potions or defense skills for this crap

I ended up dropping this game. I was enjoying it quite a bit but apparently I was going down one of the worst routes in the game

>>716242547
>>716242352
>>716242174
literally just max out your tsubasa and ATK potions then have her go around the map. You will go neutral on AP and kill everything, make infinite voltage
sure you may lose one or two units to bosses but that's really whatever, not like thye dont come back each wave

>>716242498
So why not just kill 2 units? Or kill 1, and then pick up the rest of the voltage naturally? You only need to pop off the move that adds Attack +2 to get a kill streak going. Not sure why people ever used Meme Yell.

>>716242398
>all of the problems in those routes stem from her making Kako-G a different timeline's problem
>this also fucks up multiple S.F. timelines
You're not wrong.

>>716242440
>fish route, I enjoyed Comedy route otherwise
Both fish route AND comedy routes were a seveeeeere drag!! like holy shit , it's 80% boring and took me a couple of shitty days to read through.
Now the romance route wasnt too bad at least

>>716242448
>>716242448
>I genuinely think retsnom made me like her so much
Same here man... I just wanted more of her after going through that route. I havent finished the game yet but i hope there's more wholesome moments with her besides the Retsnom one. I grew tired of her wacky/psycho persona act of hers

>>716242729
If I wanted to just kill everything with Tsubasa I wouldn't bother with a hard mode.

>>716239110
I would only do it if they tied an ending to that difficulty. The game is pretty tedious as-is and I can't imagine what it'll be like for every battle to be a massive pain

>>716239110
I over-grinded by the time the new difficulty dropped, so it wasn't really different from normal mode.
I have to wonder how insanely easy the easy mode is.

>>716242839
why do you need a hard mode if you're gonna do a challenge run with self imposed stuff in the first place?

>>716242448
I just don't like it when a game gives you a major choice right at the beginning and then punishes you relentlessly for picking the one the developers don't consider the "right one". Like, come on, Eito fucking doomed everything 5 in game minutes ago and now I'm being treated like a stupid asshole for reasonably believing that taking him out is a good idea?

>>716242694
yeah make sure you DONT play Comedy, fish routes or even the box of Blessings route, they ALL suck so much ass. Leave them for last if you reaaaally want more of the game/characters. Comedy route was my first route and it made me so fed up.. bad decision/ bad luck lol
Slasher route was kino as hell tho, mystery route too was very good

>>716242929
you're not being punished bro, wtf. You get access to extremely cool routes by going down that path.

>>716242929
>characters saying mean stuff to takumi = I'm being punished
self inserters go too far sometimes

>>716242269
thats the thing, you have to stay back and play defensive, they also buffed tomato's shield sentry and tsubasas shield skill in the same patch so you can shield easier

>>716242975
it was one of the box routes that I ended up going down first. I couldn't even finish it I just started playing a different game instead

>>716192837
The only thing he did wrong is to be naive sometimes.

By the way, I want to bully Oosuzuki so damn much.

I want to pass my time solely to bully her for a hundred days straight and then go back in time so I can do it all over again. I want to make sure she knows that hiding her face behind a mask is a sign of a weakness. I want to make her prepare curry for her friends, only to take it and eat it in front of her without sharing. I want to mock her inability to be useful in battles, yelling that she is less useful than Maruko. I want to force feed her green tomatoes, palm after palm. I want to snatch her tomato mask, revealing her face to the plebeians. And then, I’ll give her mask back to her, after it serves its purpose as a vomit-dumpster, courtesy of Kawana.

And then she finally snaps and tries to bully me by any means possible, I’ll spank her in front of everyone until she’ll like it, a feat that wouldn’t take much time. And then she’ll come to me, begging for another spanking, I’ll mock her again and then spank her as if my life depended on it, laughing at her moans full of pleasure. Mere seconds before her climax, I’ll go back in time to do it all over again, leaving her in her aroused state.

>>716242882
>>716242729
Nothing compared to the gakster.

>>716242929
>Spoiler
Yeah, I admittedly feel that it's too heavy handed with making you feel guilty by having the undying flames boy flat out say you did the wrong thing, and that you're going on a dark path etc etc
Though for anyone else, it makes sense since it's easy to think that Takumi might be crazy or some shit, especially since the only knew about Eito from his act.

>>716243124
Box of calamity is kino. Box of blessings is boring filler.

>>716228541
Pretty great. 4chan was actually still down when it released, so most of us could experience the first few hours on our own. Then we just kind of talked about the game as it went along. It probably took days for us to even get to the branching routes. And surprisingly, everyone was spoilering everything

>>716242882
hey woah, hol up!! wtf is this battle screen?? i never saw this in the game at all??
is this in the new update? or is it when you max out your skills??

>>716242782
Really, what was she thinking?

>>716243184
She won.

>>716242174
They finally did it. They made the tomato useful

>>716243320
Last Yell is a skill everyone can get, you spend 100% voltage to give that unit the ability to boost another's attack by 2 and voltage gain when they attack at 1 AP. Up to 4 characters can proc the skill on each attack.

>>716242929
>Spoiler

>>716243320
That's Last Yell activating (4 times)
It makes your last AP have +2 damage and gain +50% of the predicted voltage, up to 4 times.
Darumi basically has infinite 'last AP' because of this, and you can use the damage boost to one-shot AP mobs if you end up needing just a bit more AP for something else.

I love Hundred Line and I love Hiruko.

>>716242976
>Gaku "literally me" Maruko, my mob clearing GOAT before I realized to just take the Tsubasa pill, gets fucking shanked
Mmm, no. I'm being punished.

>>716243320
its one of the support skills thats easy to overlook but is actually incredibly busted once you can ramp it up across the party

GOOD MORNINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

>>716243320
bro thats the last yell skill, on your last AP it has a 50% to proc and add 2 dmg and lots of voltage to your attack, what they dont say is that the chance is for every character so if you set up last yell on every character you are guaranteed to get lots of procs that give you lots of voltage

Last Yell has never been AP efficient. You should just convert extra AP into +1 AP effect, for AN ENTIRE EXTRA ACTION. It's vanilla but it just works.

>>716243447
>>716243484
>Last yell
aaah shit no wonder! durr i feel dumb.
I never used Last yell cause i always felt like it wasnt as great as the others (maybe i should look more into it). No wonder i never saw that CG pic in my 150+ hours of playthroughs

>>716243320
It’s not new. It’s the ability where if an attack is done with the last 1AP, other characters have a chance of chipping in to boost the attack. It stacks per character so you can get a bunch of them on screen at once.

>>716243347

>>716243481
I bet uchikoshi influenced this.
ZTD literally has the same 'thought experiment' where you have the choice of killing the mastermind before he can begin the death game

>>716243589
Goddamn...thanks for the tip. Id have never known

>>716243627
extra voltage into the +1 AP effect*

>>716243546
In most of the spare routes Darumi is the one getting shanked immediately. You are not being punished.

I should back and finish this game, I got filtered by the dogshit """"comedy"""" route and never bothered to continue.

>>716243184
>read this
>get a half chub
goddamn it
sometimes i still find it funny how i went from hating this dumb tomato wearing rich chick to thinking she's the best

>>716242882
>Everyone has maxed out commanders kills.
>Even Nozomi is maxed out.
Why do you torture yourself this much?

>>716243627
With enough last yell boosts and execution kill buffs, my Takumi was getting back damn near a hundred voltage every time he attacked anyway, and that's before even maxing his skills.

>>716243791
darumi basically NEEDS to be cucked out of every non-comedy route unless it centers on her because she is a comedy relief character

>>716243636
If the battle is long enough, you just end up with enough voltage to dump Last Yell on everyone. When I first saw it I thought it would be funny if I stacked it up on everyone, and I was rewarded with Tsubasa 1-turning every single wave with infinite 'move again' availability from how much voltage she would generate just killing those stupid mooks.

>>716244029
tbf you go infinite with tsubasa even without last yell

>>716243972
I mean, the issue is that you have to use, what...4, 5+ boosts to even get it to that point? Then you have only a 50% chance of even getting the effect, and you must be on 1 AP, at that.
Just put it back into more AP...you'll be rolling around with a cache of 12+ at all times if you do that.

>>716243908
So I'm prepared for the DLC

>>716244024
being a darumifag is suffering.

>>716243908
You can literally just chapter select to the start of a fight, skip the battle, then eat the commander(s), it's still grinding but not nearly as bad as you'd think

>>716241495
>>716241940
It’s explained more later. Hitting one of the locks clears it up before getting locked out
>>716241774
This person is lying or is unaware. I understand if it’s to preserve the experience but at least say it gets mentioned later if you’re gonna bother mentioning Hiruko looping

>>716243794
I got two friends who got into CoA as their first route thankfuly, I really wonder how many people dropped this game because they got to comedy as their first route.

>>716244024
>>716244203
I just consider it lucky that she lasted the prologue.

>>716243540
I love those two idiots like you wouldn't believe

Shame it leads you to the worst, most pointless route in this piece of shit visual novel compromising entirely of bad, pointless routes

>solos the game for you
>is best girl
>wants (You) in two different routes, actually shows affection unlike SHITzuhara
>only downside is that realistically she's probably extremely stinky all the time due to working with machines + constant puking. Also 100% has rotten teeth and putrid breath. Problem is basically uncontrollable and so she WILL puke literal acid at you multiple times, probably leading to some really nasty infection if she goes it on your cock (this WILL happen at least once)
how does she do it?

>>716244440
Coming of Age was pretty solid. Eito hijacking things again hits better if it's not the first route though.

>>716244249
>tfw the first thing I did when leaving route 0 was kill Eito and then rewind over and over again to max Takumi
Fuck you, flame baby, this was the right decision.

>is best boy in your path
imagine killing the best character in the whole game

>>716244024
>because she is a comedy relief character
Did you even play the Retsnom route? you wouldnt say that if you did. Shes deeper than she lets on. Retsnom is one of the best routes and might as well just call it THE Darumi route

>>716244440
it wasn't my first route, I got like 30 endings. I done every route available on the Kill eito side and the cult of takumi one as well. But that one was so boring I lost the will to continue.

>>716244627
>unless it centers on her
literally explained it in the same post, retardbro. Even her tragic backstory gets played for laughs in every single other route

>>716244451
Speaking of that, it was definitely on purpose to making some of the characters you could sacrifice be the ones who survived in act 1, right?
>>716244538
Honestly surprised to see that route not being mentioned more, it's great.

>>716244532
Make her wear a mask while having sex... or if you wanna go a bit extreme ( cause shes not even ugly) , then paper bag her while sexo-ing her.
But yes , she's almsot perfect and it's surprising how badly she wants Takumi in many routes lol

I had a 'spoiler-free' flowchart during my run and killing eito seemed to make sense because I could experience a bunch of seemingly smaller routes quickly
To my dismay most routes in this game genuinely do reach 100 days one way or another

I am still mad that he never does anything important in any route, well apart from dying

>>716244624
I still cant believe this wacky psycho is voiced by Cloud Strife's voice actor... pretty wild what range he has

>>716244786
Shame cause he's actually pretty nice. I thought he'd just be some very shallow gangster type guy but he has a heart of gold

>>716196705
Having finished the game recently, myself, I found Romance route to be a good palate cleanser. After all of Kill Eito branches ending up with Kurara dead barring just about one single ending, the dogshit choice of NEEDING to save gaku over Kurara for the second route, and ending the route itself, it felt really good to just wind down, and relax with my wife and bond over cinema.`
Definitely not a good first route, but as SoL after death and despair in othe routes? Definitely nice.

>>716244786
>>716244995
he suffers from being just the same rehashed even if cool concept yet again

>>716244249
The only one Nozomi can absorb is addamaque.
That means he restarted that part at least 6-7 times for a character that doesn't even deal damage with a super.

>>716244786
Half the cast is fodder who exist to freak out at plot developments and get killed off before anyone important, and Takemaru is the pinnacle of that

>>716244995
Honestly surprised to hear that because as soon as they made a joke about him helping some elderly folks, I could tell what trope he was pulling from. Still love him a ton though

>>716245191
>>716244786
he is important in the first route as one of the default fighters + helping develop shouma

>>716244157
it would be funny if the DLC routes gives you scenarios in which everyone has fixed stats since they dont know at what point the player might trigger them kek

>>716244786
Yea he definitely drew the short straw. I wouldn't call takemaru a placeholder but it does feel like the writers were willing to keep him plain if forced with a choice on who to prioritize

>>716245095
>spoiler
I agree. Helps that she gets the best 25 days out of the other two

>>716232724
I'd shit on you for placing GAA1 and Raging Loop that high BUT hundred line is such a piece of shit that I'll go along with it
I didn't even realise the true route was the true route until like thirty hours later because all the "revelations" in it are like the first fucking thing you'll assume the plot is an hour in and is so heavily hinted at i assumed that was some sort of misdirection
I assumed there'd be a little more to the story if you're going to make a billion routes where actually fucking nothing happens

Give her a proper route in DLC.

>>716244786
I feel Ima got it even worse, he is only interesting in the first route.

>>716244675
To tell the truth, I thought comedy wasn't that bad,
but only because BoB was so fucking bad that I would take anything over that route.

>only role in most routes is to take care of Eva
>she doesn't even acknowledge him most of the time
>Eva only really ends up with Takumi
is there a more cucked existence?

>>716245515
Mhm. If only both Kurara and Kyoshika had big, proper routes. Kyoshi and Takumi are the only swordsmen in the roster, so i guess her 25 days being training is appropriate. But, come on, why not geek out over manga? Hell, imagine if you could have personalized activities if you had your bonds maxed with a character. So, being able to watch movies with Kurara on any route, stuff like that.

>>716245860
Zombie slasher is the Kyoshika route bro.

>>716245717
i mean he has that ending solo with kyoshika and nozomi, they will need to repopulate the earth someday

>>716242795
I actually enjoyed most of comedy, it felt like a nice break from the all the serious routes I just did. I can see how it would be super frustrating if it was your first route though

>>716245717
When he does make contributions you get shit like box of calamity and mystery

>>716245717
>I want to know what Eva's opinion of Ginzaki is. It seems that he's never touched her heart, even though he was taking care of her with all his heart in every route.

>She didn't have any special feelings for him. She simply regarded him as someone who cared about her and was worthy of gratitude.

He was created purely to suffer. As he should

>>716176501 (OP)
the red pill in itself isn't bad

it's just how you handle that info, no one has ever been hurt by knowing all people in power are pedophiles or black people commit marginally most violent crime in the western world, etc

>>716246001
NGL I forgot he was even there in that one

>>716245860
>spoiler
It feels that the zombie slasher route was sort of leaning in that direction, with protecting her from zombie nozomi and zombie takumi sparing her life, but yeah it doesn't feel like a proper route at all. especially when both end tragically. does make it funny that they both ended up having feelings for him though
i do think it's disappointing that they didn't have that going on between takumi and kyoshika, too. them going to the library and just reading shit sounds like it would've been a blast, but they instead went with something that felt so lame to see again and again

>>716246010
Yeah like some people said here, Comedy route is best played OPTIONALLY at the veeery end if you still want more of the characters and silly light stuff.
Going through comedy as one of the first routes is an easy way to drop the game altogether cause it'll leave a veeeery bad impression

>>716245191
you are right so its extra funny that most of popular characters (at least on the east side of the fandom) are in the fodder category
chinks loves Kako and Darumi waaaaay more than main heroines of the game, its so funny

>>716245986
>>716246239
Right. It's been my first true route, and the endings kinda molded together. Since it all ends in despair of dying, getting G'ied, or getting a mercy kill from Kurara. How the hell did she murderize all the zombies with the power-saw so effortlessly? When Takemaru used one too and jobbed quickly, too. The might of an Oosuzuki...
This also broke my heart a bit, can't lie.

>>716246502
Nozomi barely exists in routes that don't focus on her so it's not surprising people generally don't care or talk about her. At least it's better than Moko, who barely exists at all when she's not throwing herself to the wolves for cheap drama.

>>716246982
Sakura walked so that Moko could run except Moko took the first step and then fell down the stairs

"Red pill" in modern parlance just means "conservative republican talking points"

>>716244786
Please don't tell me that KG was his only good route..

>>716246982
I prefer Nozomi-G.

>>716246537
that line encapsulates so much as to why I like her, man. she projects so fucking much, so her dropping that whole act to say something like that is so sweet.

>>716247165

>>716247201
I hate the fact that after her route, I couldn't stop thinking about how hot it would be if she fucked takumi right before killing him. Imagine how it would feel to climax and immediately get stabbed by the very person who, in a fucked-up way, adores you for sparing her life

>>716246982
>Route 0 hypes her up as the main reason 2nd Academy was even able to pull itself together
>spends the rest of the main game either being dead in a ditch or being comedy relief
Pretty disappointing, tbdesu.

>>716246982
it's funny how the game treats moko as if she's hideous despite literally having tits that are the size of her head
like, am i not supposed to find that hot, or what?

>>716246982
I said 'heroines', I also ment Hiruko (who has 3 routes to herself) and Tsubasa (two romances and heroine of one of the most beloved route)
I browse Weibo regularly and I can tell you can chinks loves Kako and Darumi over them for some reason

>>716247391
Feels like the opposite of Hiruko where she dies in route zero but got latched onto by Uchikoshi, Moko was written to die in route zero and none of the writers had enough interest to do anything with her when she was alive

>>716248008
I at least get Darumi since her weirdness leaves a strong impression, but the twins spend most of their time in the background.

>>716248008
For Darumi's case, on top of her goofiness in most routes, it probably helps a ton that Retsnom writes her as very compassionate with Takumi. She really does go out of her way a lot to help Takumi, such as having him make up with Nozomi, helping him find a way to revive everyone, and taking on Retsnom herself. Takumi in turn starts spending a lot of time with her and getting to know who she is under the mask. Oh also, you can see her caring side even in other routes where she's not the main character. It's impressive that she's written as crazy as she is 80% of the time, but still has her real intentions just barely under the act.
They deserve a happier ending.

>>716247484
Dude, I can take the belly button, but that head just looks like you stuck a chipmunk doll on a pro wrestler

>>716248596
funny that you say that because it's the opposite for me
i think her head is cute, but the fuckin outie feels like the designer was panicking to find something to make her design look goofier so that she wasn't conventionally attractive

>>716248538
it forever pains me knowing that takumi either:
>realizes that she liked him after killing her
>dies, but has his clone confessed to by retsnom darumi

>>716244786
>dies
>oh takumi you let takemaru die do you want to try some totally illegal steroids i made
What the fuck was his problem?

>>716243184
lmfao the fucking Saionji copypasta

>>716249274
Somehow was too retarded to have the foresight to realize that his own drug would work on him and cause him to effectively make things worse
I like yugamu but man that route is probably his worst moment just for what follows

>>716249274
>>716249406
What do you mean? I'd say the overall result is pretty good for everyone.

>>716248337
Kako is super cute, makes very good impresion in route 0 and you can tell if any even half competent writer bothered to give her some focus she would have very compelling arc
I also like Ima for that matter, his bants with other (when Kako isnt involved) are so funny, give me more Kodaka

>>716249442
It is a riot.

>>716249691
>>716249442
It is funny as fuck, but I can't help but just think about how fucked it is, too

>breathes in
EHH
UGH
EGH
HAH
Seriously, every other stock voice clip from her is like this.

>>716249691
The true comedy route

>>716249817
Kind of the point yeah.

Teasing Kamyuhn's nipples...

>>716249986
Yummy

>>716244532
Sasuga 3rd Heroine

>>716239569
It was obvious he was evil because he was the only one who could have killed Sirei objectively. I picked it out quick.
What doesn't make sense is how he killed Hiruko.

>>716249406
I'd say him terrorizing the gang in slasher to edge himself because he got horny is worse

>>716241495
In a sense, you're not really playing as Takumi and his decisions, but rather looking at alternate universes (That just happen to coincide with a choice Takumi makes)

A "choice" you make during Slasher completely changes who the killer was which makes it impossible for Takumi to be the same person in every route.

>>716210086
Wait a minute... Takumi clearly broke out of the loop here and one the diplomatic ending too. Wtf was the S.F. route then.

>>716209682
Image saved for the next Deltarune thread

>>716249954
lol...
wtf happened to the actual VOICES and LINES they were making in Danganronpa games anyway??
the first thing i noticed when i started Hundred Line is how they just make stupid sounds when they speak, zero spoken words. And yeah Nozomi is definately one of the worst ones

>>716251093
>A "choice" you make during Slasher completely changes who the killer was
That's not actually true anon. Have you played S.F. yet?

>>716251603
>Wtf was the S.F. route then
it was stated there are exceptions to the rule and sometimes he gets to see more than 100 days, which is very bluntly Uchikoshi giving himeslf an out if anyone decided to write an ending that goes beyond day 100
basically dont worry about it

>>716251603
The most popular theory I saw was that there never was any timeloops to start with, it's just memories being copied to the past to give a false perception of a timeloop.

Once they send the copied memories back Hiruko on day 2, the timeline keeps going, and she'll have no idea from her point of view.

>>716251603
S.F. route was unironic slop that turned everyone who is not Hiruko and Takumi into one-liner-spouting background characters with shit jokes galore, showed Hiruko as the most unbelievable retard to ever exist (doomed the entire slasher/mystery branches just so that she could LOOK as the other Hiruko does that mommy dommy hug to Takumi on the verge of despair, and, extendedly, responsible for "pick tails" branch of S.F. to get killed). that doesn't even comply by her own explanations (Her train tracks allegory, when she doesn't even TRY to make a better timeline for the routes she visited, to alleviate their suffering at least once.), introduces mechanics that don't exist in other routes (Hiruko's time loop. the entire triem ray/variant/delicacy g'ie bullshit, mystery woman that takes kako-g in one ending, and gives out the required mcguffins randomly in the path to real ending)
Completely sidelines the entire Futurum/Real Invaders/Kamyuhn thing (Eva getting brainwashed is NEEDED for the good of all, trust me.)
I get that the message is "there's no easy way out of things", that's why 80% of the route you search for things that turn out to be useless. It's still retarded.
Oh, yes, the scent of Lavendar, how could I forget.
Romance? CoA? Better routes, by far.
And, as an addendum. Since they all used the PLM, they'll be sent back to the timeline that is about to get nuked once they arrive to the satellite, since they'll run out of cryptoglobin. Lol.

>>716251603
They are likely are both misunderstanding what the "loop" is and how to "break" it. The S.F. bad endings give more plot details than the golden ending does.

>>716252480
I'm just gonna say that Takumi broke out of the loop multiple times while Hiruko didn't

>>716250838
I need a route where he keeps terrorizing Gaku

>>716252357
You know what I mean anon.
The choices can't be choices if it changes your past up to that point.

>>716252843
Doesn't Takumi only escape the loop in routes where he abandons humanity? Cult of Takumi, Rebellion, Eva. I forget if there's more.

>>716252830
I wouldn’t say just looking was her reason but she put together that the route exists from her own outside interference so for it to happen and Takumi to say he loves her she also has to help make it happen. Also they still were able to use their hemoanima weapons in CoT on the satellite written solely by Kodaka so they’ll be fine.

>>716252618
my favourite explonation is that they both loop back if they are satisfied with 'ending' or are compelled to stay
Hiruko is convinced that everone needs to live to break loop so she never break out while Takumi can

>>716253179
2nd Scenario as well, one thing they all have in common is that they don't leave Futurum, so clearly it has something to do with the planet itself.

(I don't count Cult of Takumi because we don't know what day it was when they reach the artificial satellite.)

How does she fuck up so bad when 90% of the cast is dead?

>>716253649
That kinda makes sense actually. Does Takumi ever get any memories from the routes where he's okay with the result in S.F.? I don't recall.

>>716253649
That's my second theory, that it's tied to regrets.
That's why Takumi doesn't remember the routes he doesn't regret.

While Hiruko is a perfectionist and wants a perfect ending.

>>716253903
Cryptoglobin based attacks do fuck all to G'ie zombies. By the time she realizes that they've already swarmed and restrained her.
There's a reason they took those taboos seriously.

>>716253903
Those zombies are bullshit, I honestly hate zombie slasher for how contrived it is

We love the twins here

She deserves a route.

>>716254006
He remembers, if I recall, Killing game, BoC, and Mystery.

and he has alot of regrets in those routes, getting his friends killed and letting Kako-G get away in Mystery.

He doesn't remember Retsnom, which means he was okay with how it ended.

I want to eat a log of Takumi's smelly brown poop.

>>716254321
Give me my idol route.

>>716253408
Cryptoglobin gets weaker away from futurum, so how it goes is anyone's guess. Point is, once they run out of cryptoglobin, they're done. And, I don't think the humanity will be happy with them either. Everyone gets a jab in the back, mindhack, and get sent back down to Futurum, with the cloned Shion, since they can do that, some fucking how.
My problem with S.F. is that, the supposed good ending hinges on a lot of assumptions, about humanity and whatnot. About them stopping their warmongering for whatever reason, et al.

>>716255196
There's multiple indications that the satellite isn't exactly united on the whole "genocide the natives" plan, which is why it has to be so secretive in the first place. I think you're being a bit too cynical anon.

>>716176501 (OP)
The question that changed my life was "Keep playing this shit hoping it gets better?"
After doing about a dozen endings I finally chose No.

>>716255367
would be nice if instead of making dozens of bad ends game could dedicate just one to elaborate on it

>>716255367
It's being realistic. The pod would fly to the location that would be known to those in the know about the war. In 2nd scenario the plan was revealed to the rest of the satellite to restore morale for SDU, to show that humanity does care for them. Why would there be a reason to do it this time?

>>716176501 (OP)
DLC when?

>>716256038
And, to add, in the entirely separate timeline from which S.F. originated from. The timeline where the clone Shion was brought into to fuel the flames again for the attack. They'd be greeted by warmongers, upset that their plan failed. Twice, at that point. Do remember, in sf's real end, they blow up the academy with livor mortis codes, to prevent the missile launch,

>>716256181
After the Arknights and Identity V collab.

>>716256038
>In 2nd scenario the plan was revealed to the rest of the satellite to restore morale for SDU, to show that humanity does care for them
Sirei is full of shit. It's very likely he is specifically designed to be incapable of actually communicating with the satellite. He's simulating responses since he determined that would be the best way of getting them to continue the plan at this point.
>>716256235
Yes, the people in charge of this project are utterly insane. Part of the reason they have to keep it so secret.
If the crew from the first timeline could survive and send a message out I'm pretty sure the full crew will do make it okay.
Again you're just being cynical. There will problems to deal with sure, but it's hardly this hopeless situation you present it as.

>>716254321
Love her design but god I hate her gimmick I was dreading every fight against her, not because it's hard but because it's annoying

>>716256536
So, what stops Sirei from blowing up the pod, or prodding everyone once they arrive, to go back down for round two? As you said, it was hush hush. The returning pod would be greeted by hush-hush people too. Route 0, takemaru gets cut off, so fuck do we know what happens to them. Did you even play the game?

>>716176501 (OP)
I really think they should have locked more routes on your second playthrough. There are so many weak ones that can burn you out before you even get to the good ones. Like I got coming of age on my first try but I can't imagine playing more of the game after getting comedy or conspiracy

>>716254321
Honestly i'd take a whole game or story about the commanders, at this point. I feel just enough of what we saw during V'exhness route was nice, and it sure as hell made me like some of them more (like Adammaque)

>>716256536
Why are you denying information explicitly shown in the game and arguing against it with facts you've pulled out of your own headcanon?

>>716257371
Honestly makes me feel lucky I got the slasher route on my first run.

>>716259760
I think it’s a lot weaker if done after BoC

Where was it mentioned that hemoanima doesn't work in space?

>>716261667
It's mentioned that the further from the planet you go the weaker it gets.
But the real problem for the natives isn't really that. It's that they lack functional space travel in the first place. Pretty sure if a single commander could reach the station they'd still be practically invincible, at least for a while.

>>716262072
where is it mentioned

>>716254321
>>716255079
>>716256702
>>716257603
RIZZU RABU!

>>716256702
>screen gets covered in that shitty early-era 3D effect
>screen slightly moves up and down as well
I'm just glad I started doing routes after 2nd Scen post-battle skip patch, never had to do that shit more than once.

realistically, what do Takemaru and the others see in the satellite that they scream about in the ending of the base game?
As I played I thought they'd reveal that the G'ie wormed their way into earth and that's why we couldn't talk to them at all anymore, but I feel like it just got handwaved as Satellite BAD at some point

>>716245860
The fuck, what route is that from?

>>716262692
wait, that plot point isn't followed up on? the fuck?

>>716262692
>>716262815
Kodaka answered that in the Chinese Q&A thing. It’s just the reveals from 2nd scenario that they find out

>>716197142
Vomit is still edible it'll just give you diarrhea from the change in gut flora

>>716262889
well, aside from it being fucking lame to need a Q&A to answer that, it does make a bit of sense for hearing that to be shocking as hell
i just feel that wasn't really conveyed well in the cutscene? it sounded more like people were dying with how they sounded on the walkie-talkie

>>716263061
I took it as there's some civil strife occurring as well. Which is probably a good thing for them at least.

>>716263061
it's just there to generate hype for NG+. I don't like it, but I get it

>>716263124
>>716263140
I guess I just find it disappointing because I feel shit like the conspiracy route and the g'igue both gave me the idea of something potentially mysterious going on the satellite. especally the former with how gotoh flat out kills the SDU when they refuse to leave. telling me it was just "oh they were shocked by the truth" kinda ruins that mystery for me

>>716263061
I don’t have the one that mentions the satellite but there’s some interesting stuff he kinda just responded to whatever. I like the Eito glasses detail

I feel cheated for not seeing the aftermath of what happens when they get to the satellite

>>716263815
it's in the DLC, prueasu ansderstandu

>>716263582
>he wears the wrong prescription so that he can't see clearly
I suppose that's because humans look like monsters to him so that way he can't see them proper but that doesn't make sense because the glasses, outfit and memories were given to him by humanity in an effort to make a teen soldier, it wouldn't make sense for them to give Eito glasses that don't fit his eyesight. Apparently humanity couldn't check on how their minds were shaping up when they made them, which makes the whole operation a complete gamble and even more of a shitshow, so they couldn't see his hatred for humanity bug before deploying him, this also means they couldn't know that, in his mind, he didn't want to see humans so he wanted wrong glasses.
as much as I love HL, the plot makes 0 sense when you look at it closely

>>716263317
Ultimately it comes back to the game's biggest flaws:

>The gimmick about 100 days was stupid, because not a single route had anywhere near 100 days worth of content
>The gimmick about 100 endings was stupid, because it ends up telling a bunch of middling - bad anthology stories

If they'd cut out all the garbage and done something like Steins;Gate where you have your initial route, then a few branching routes from your choices, with a Golden Route hidden behind a possibly complex series of interactions. It would have been far, far more satisfying.

>>716264074
I just subscribed to what sirei said about it potentially being some sort of anti-faction member apart of the project who made eito as a counter to the exodus project. makes sense that they would give him poor glasses in-case it made it more efficient for him to act on his plan

>>716264074
I assume they just replicated whatever he had picked as his own prescription from the simulation. They’re able to see enough to replicate their clothes, those who dyed their hair, and those with piercings. Eito never spoke aloud to anyone his hatred of humanity so they could probably observe him but not literally see through his eyes so they couldn’t pick up on it. But it does call to question why they were cool with him killing his family, either he was deliberately glitched like they theorize or maybe they thought he’d be a good killer at killing invaders? No way to know

>>716264183
I've got a similar issue when it comes to the characters

>You're allowed to dislike Gaku, no issues
>You can dislike Takemaru, Ima, Hiruko, Darumi, no issues
>You can dislike Kako, Kyoshika, Moko and even Nozomi, no issues at all
>But if you choose even a single negative option against Eito you can practically hear the Developers screaming at you. HOW DARE YOU NOT LIKE EITO! WHY DON'T YOU LIKE EITO!? DON'T YOU SEE HOW THIS MAKES YOU A BAD PERSON!?
>There's 1(one) single route in the game that's not a Bad Ending for going against Eito
>You even get a Bad Ending for disagreeing with him. If you so much as say you don't like him, you're locked into a BAD END
>God Forbid you don't put up with his shit when he literally comes back to the school to try fucking kill you
>Then you get a fucking multi hour route of the Devs seething at how dare you not like Eito. And, of course, every single ending is a Bad Ending. Because how can you possibly have a good ending, you don't like Eito! You don't deserve anything good!

I legitimately haven't seen an Author's Pet pushed this hard in a long, long time. You'd think when they'd gotten to the point of "If you so much as disagree with Eito, you get a BAD END" they'd have realised it'd gone too far.

>still playing
>slowly realizing from the way threads talk about them that my favorite characters seem to be permanently sidelined in most routes

>>716264529
Which characters? There’s a Darumi route if you like Darumi

>>716264519
you're being mentally ill again, anon. Getting into different routes due to your actions is not "the devs hating you", it just comes with being an interactive game.
Also you're hating on best boy so you deserve it

>>716264519
I was pretty mad in the Multiple Eitos route when even picking the endurance match choice ends with him winning, out of nowhere too
the entire route was trash, him becoming pretty much a mind god felt extremely forced, not to mention this doesn't happen if you kill him early

>>716264519
The more Kodaka makes these antagonistic characters the more Nagito feels like a complete stroke of luck in how good of a character he ended up being.

>>716232273
Jack did nothing wrong

>>716264519
I haven't finished all the routes yet, so I admittedly can't really say how I feel, but part of me does find it a bit annoying how the Multiple Eito's route is like that, as you say it yourself. It does make sense for it to be unwinnable considering how how much of a piece of shit he is, but the fact that Takumi gets no win at all is sad. The fact that the only one that's even bittersweet is from the option that's less badass (choosing to tell sirei) is just lame as fuck
>>716264738
also stfu eitonigger
no matter how much i like him he DESERVES to suffer

What do you think Takumi's shit smells like?

>>716264738
You're failing at reading comprehension again.

>Pick a "Be mean to Gaku Option"
>Can get a good ending, a bad ending or anything in between
>Same for every single other character

>Choose to Kill Eito
>There's 1(One) possibly bittersweet, happyish ending available
>Every single other one is a Bad Ending

>Choose to Spare Eito
>Be mean to Eito at any point, ever, in the entire route. Even when he comes back to the school explicitly to kill you
>Immediately locked into a Bad Ending

>>716264896
Hopeman should've lived to the end of the game

Cult of Takumi is best route.
Fuck Futurum.
Fuck Humanity.
Fuck my siblings and my brainwashed crush every single day, over and over, making them wear any lewd clothes I can print in the GiftOMatic, making them act any and all degenerate plays I want everynight
Best part? They'll love every second of it.
Written by Kodaka btw

>>716265116
Gaku is a comedy relief character that barely does anything in any route he's in, obviously you can dunk on him and no one cares.
Eito is integral to numerous good endings. He shows that he is not beyond redemption in multiple routes and plus Hiruko literally explains that the sooner one of the originals die the worse the route goes to shit

>>716265338
>Anon still cannot fucking read
Do you see where I wrote "Same for every single other character", do you think that means "Only Gaku"? Or, just possibly, just maybe, just perhaps... does it mean "Every single other fucking character except Eito."?

The point isn't if he is or isn't beyond redemption. The point is that no other character is pushed even a fraction as hard as Eito. There's no other character where the story immediately punishes you and locks you into a bad ending for simply choosing to something they disagree with.

The same route where he comes back to the school and tries to kill you, and you *have* to say "No big deal", you also execute Eva for basically no reason except it being mildly convenient. Every character is treated as expendable, everyone eats shit sometimes, everyone except Eito. If you ever so much as disagree with Eito, it's off to BAD END jail for you. And if you're unlucky, that BAD END jail comes with pages and pages and pages of the writers seething at you, like the Multiple Eitos route.

Again, one of the absolute worst Author's Pet characters I've seen in at least a decade.

>>716265751
take your meds, anon. Looks like someone has been brought to DESPAIR

R0 Eito was so much more interesting to me. I thought the direction he went would be a good natured person slowly getting worse and worse as things got more fucked up, but instead he's just another heel turn twist with a boring motivation and character.

you literally made no arguments. You just shielded yourself from everything said at you and screamed "NOOOO EITO IS A BAD BOY NOOOO WHY IS HE GETTING SCREEN TIME"
there's literally nothing anyone can say to that except "keep coping"

>>716266494
you destroyed that retard and I was here to see it.

>>716266659
>Anon runs away from every argument I made, even after I went through the effort of giving multiple examples of this issue

>>716266819
>posting a dab gif from a trannime
I accept your concession

>>716266862
trying way too hard

>>716266791
It was such a random hill for him to die on, too. It's not like anyone's saying he can't be a fan of Eito.

Just a matter of admitting that Eito is an author's pet. Or alternatively actually finding a way to argue that he isn't. And since he failed at both, well, here we are.

>>716266862
>Posting in a Hundred Line thread

Am I the only one who enjoyed getting comedy route first? I thought it was good to see the group getting along after seeing Eito fuck up everything the first time. I did like the jokes too so maybe thats why, also didnt get the fish head one
Also what happens to Hiruko in the timeline where SF Takumi fucking dies? Is it just supposed to be a noncanon route where the people with suits are just random attackers instead? Since Hiruko at the start of SF says that this never happened before
The timeloop thing in SF also doesnt make sense since ending 100 of mystery has everyone survive in one timeline which should happen before ending 55 (since they remember that timeline). Also ending 54 and 55 both fit the conditions for ending the loop which means only one should be able to happen so how can it split the timeline

>>716265116
I think comedy route is supposed to be the happy ending if you kill Eito.

>>716267242
Maybe.

I've certainly never seen anyone praise the Comedy Routes. I found them to be unbelievably shit, myself.

>>716267242
I don't hate the comedy route, but I can see how frustrating it is to be led on with a interesting hook of there being some potential murderer on the loose, only to be met with jokes and gags that can be really alienating for some people

>>716245095
>>716245515

>>716268713
To be fair you do see the guy with the saw burn to death so you should probably expect that plot to be over

>>716269334
I know.
I wish that jpn didn't find Gaku/Kurara to be so interesting because takumi has a way cuter dynamic with her. Like, I've gotten to a point that I can't help but see all the weird comments about takumi creeping on nozomi simply just her projecting what she wants him to do to her.

>>716176501 (OP)
bump

>>716251603
S.F.'s objective is Takumi's original goal for the time travel which is to make sure nobody dies.

>>716271752
I do like Gaku/Kurara but you can't go wrong with pairing best girl with the MC

Where the Darumi fans at

>>716276214
Everywhere annoyingly
Tsubasa is the best girl

>>716276214
I wish I could filter you

Quick, before this thread dies, what's your favorite character from this game and why?

Mine is Eva, her character moments and route were so great to me that she took my favorite character spot from Kyoshika.

>>716276386
I honestly can't choose because I think I like the cast as a whole, lmao
But I can say that Eva is really great. Every single time we get to see her true self pop out shows how much of a sweetheart she can be, while also showing how determined she is to protect those she loves.
i kinda found it hot seeing her mockingly laugh at takumi in the mystery route

>>716276386
Best characters are tsubasa because she is legit the best girl. Hiruko is an excellent character too, without her the game wouldnt work. Sirei is also excellent.

>>716276667
I don't like Hiruko much but I can't disagree that she's a good character, because she's a spot on depiction of a teenage girlboss that acts like hot shit but is actually appallingly retarded.

>>716276939
Hiruko is basically the only serious character of the cast. Everyone else is a fucking goof in some way.

>almost finish drawing porn of darumi
>epoch wow announces pvp server
oh no, back into the pit i go

>>716276657
I didn't like how she was written in Mystery, Her and Shouma were ooc as fuck and would never act like that in other routes, but that's Uchikoshi for you, doesn't know how to write characters.

>>716276303
I really haven’t seen much discussion about her in here and thread seemed to be slowing down so thought why not
>>716276345
I haven’t brought her up since like the top of the thread man that was like yesterday

>>716277034
That's what she wants you to think, but Hiruko genuinely can act like such a retarded dork sometimes that it's not even funny
>literally gets flustered at takumi trying to kiss her right after he asks for it
>randomly makes a dumb joke at his expense that basically falls flat
and of course
>not telling anybody that takumi was killing everyone just because she cared for him that much
but it's honestly one of the reasons i kinda like her
>>716277215
i admit that it could've been written better, since the way she was acting kinda went aganist that moment she had with takumi before the route split

>paragon of hatred
Very subtle

>>716277415
It's more that she went against her promise to Kamyuhn, this is the same person who was willing to let herself get brainwashed just for a chance to reunite with her, and you're telling me she would just...blow herself up because she didn't want to be caged?

It's bad writing no matter how you look at it.

>>716277913
>spoiler
shit, i think i'm already starting to misremember some plot points, because i thought that she was doing that in the hopes that their deaths would at least ensure that kamyuhn would be okay? since she mention that she did originally want to do that.

>>716278149
She never wanted to do that, V'ehxness put that bomb inside her and told her to use it when they were all around her.

This is why she tells Takumi about the bomb, because she never wanted to use it, she just wanted to go back to Kamyuhn.

Did any of you did all endings

>>716278512
Yeah, waiting for dlc now.

>>716278710
Play time?

>>716176501 (OP)
>Just finished the initial route
>Pretty satisfied but felt Eito was a pretty bad villain since he's pretty retarded with how he talks about his master plan to kill humanity when he was really just winging it. Dumbass would've died in the pod if Takumi didn't save everyone
>Decide to start the new route since I'm not tired yet
>Takumi beelines it straight to Eito
>Based
>Plays Eito's theme again
KINO
>That new special as you nuke Eito's ass
KINOOOOOOOOOOO
>Kill Eito
KIN-wait what
>Flame boy telling me that Eito is actually not so bad and I'm in the wrong for killing him
No
We are NOT doing this
There is no saving Eito, he's a born super schizo that already killed his parents and has wanted to make humanity extinct for most of his life
Takumi just came from a timeline where he spent 100 days with everyone and Eito did his grand betrayl revealing how much he hates everyone and when given a chance to back away he doubled down then there's his 30min monologue
DO NOT TELL ME we're doing the retarded thing of how Eito is "le misunderstood"
I'm supposed to keep this retard alive aren't I...We are doing this retarded trope aren't we?

>>716278762
134 hours.

and that's before the update to skip explorations

>>716279106
No fucking way.
Im 135 hours in and i got less than half the endings

>>716279189
I'm 137 and have 75/100.

>>716279028
Killing him leads to one of the best routes in the game so it's okay

>>716279417
I hope you're right anon
At least Hiruko is alive this time but dumbass Sirei died again, I just want to hear his theme again
Also this CG is fucking hilarious, what's Sirei staring at in the gym? kek
Did Eito literally just go "Hey Sirei can you turn around real quick" and he was like "Yea okay" kek
Sirei's such a dumbass

>>716279189
Don't know what to tell ya, I can do battles really fast and I was able to farm mats very quickly as well.

I'm also a fast reader for non-voiced parts.

>>716279028
You’ve gotta know by now that the best endings in games like these require EVERYONE to stay alive even people you don’t like. That’s what my mindset was when I spared him is I probably need him if I want the best ending

>>716280164
You're absolutely right but I was too swept up in the hype of getting that new special move and nuking Eito's ass so I just went straight for the kill
If I took a break after I finished the starting route then I probably would have thought the same as you when I did the new run

>>716239569
The Eito plot twist caught me out because it was so obvious yet took way too long to happen
By the time I got to the end of the story I assumed that Eito actually was a good guy and then he killed the baby kek

>>716279934
Best part was the revelation that Sirei actually really did plant bombs in everyone, but didn't take into account the fact that it was meaningless if someone just oneshot his stupid ass since the pods would just revive his murderer anyway. How the fuck do you not think that through after kidnapping ten people and telling them they're functionally immortal

>>716235113
Dude the consequences of her actions make every involving Mystery/SF an elaborate fucking joke. I like how the story frames selling out everyone in the Slasher timeline as some poetic original sin but kind of glazes over her dumping an insane serial killer because she was in a hurry and was lazy into the magic 'go to any timeline you want' room as just some scooby doo sidequest they should solve if they have time.

>>716285613
I think it’s more that the Hiruko in Slasher cared more about Takumi than everyone else combined so she let him murder everyone and then to make things worse she herself after helped make sure that timeline would exist where Takumi said he loves her. It’s a bit worse actively letting something happen than throwing someone into a timeline and not expecting the horrible results. It is still bad though it causes KG/Mystery to happen and then Kako G kills her way across like 2 more SF timelines right? Unforeseen horrible consequences vs I’m gonna sit back and let it happen for selfish reasons

What the fuck was up with that time machine at the end of Serial Battles?

Is it really just dlc bait for a route that'll be made later?

>>716280953
the average hundred line fan here. thinks hundred line is incredible, has rocks in head

>>716285992
It's comically irresonsible and has literally INFINITE ramifications self-reflecting back onto you. This whole drama about selling your friends out pales in comparison to what she actually unleashed. Also that bullshit she said makes literally no fucking sense, the timeline exists no matter what according to her hell train on fire example.

>>716276667
>without her the game wouldnt work
who so? personally I think sub plots about loops and bugs are net negative for the game

>>716286219
The hell on a train explanation is fake, everything you do in SF route is forced by what happens in the other routes. Thats why everything always plays out the same as what you saw in the original routes. When you parallel leap you have no free will

>Twins take the longest to get off their asses and join the team after being insufferable retards the whole first 100 days
>Are also the most useless in combat
That's not how it's supposed to work.

>>716288281
Kako I agree but Ima is OP

So what actually happened up there

>>716288539
They're all actually child soldiers with fabricated backstories or something

>>716288539
Everyone in the satellite is black

>>716239979
>Who the fuck else would have such names as
>Judge
>Jury
>EXECUTIONER
>And end up being a good guy? Honestly makes me feel retarded for not noticing it.

>>716286219
Eh I disagree but also don’t care to keep talking about it

>take the red pill
>become an unlovable, terminally online chud whose time is spend finding things to seethe about.
I rather go to Bali with the girls and have a matcha pilates + Labubu rave (free Dubai chocolate upon entry) and have hot sex afterwards.

>>716266925
>Just a matter of admitting that Eito is an author's pet.
Even if you like him, how can you deny this.
HE gets away with so much bullshit and it makes no sense how everyone's IQ drops to let the bullshit he gets away with.
There is no reason why people really don't notice he escapes for days. There is no reason why Vehxness doesn't just eat him. There is no way he'd be able to kill Hiruko and stash and throw away her body.

Then there's the fact that everyone turns on you for killing Eito and Shion lambsasts you to "YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM A CHANCE TO CHANGE!!!!" when he LITERALLY was about to kill Sirei. Killing someone for the actions of their alternate universe self is one thing ,but he LITERALLY was seconds from killing him.

>>716266337
They do play around with it in the 2nd router.

Spike chunsoft kept kodakas retardedness on check
Imagine how badly the writing for dangan ronpa 1 would have been if he kept the multiple scenario idea?
Hundred line is basically the same thing as distrust but without a killing game as the central point

Eva love

Why is Darumi of all people busting my balls about Killing Eito and Gaku's unsolved murder when she's usually the go-to person for meming it up about killing games and offing each other

>>716293109
>Then there's the fact that everyone turns on you for killing Eito
It's so baffling when Sirei is still there to vouch for you whether you kill him or not. Even if they don't believe you being from the future, he still was about to kill Sirei like you said. He flat out admits that he won't change in his ways as well.

Hopefuly DLC will give twins the love they deserved. Still mad that only Kodaka cared about them.
>>716295793
This game is just a mix of Kodaka and Uchikoshi ideas.

>>716296606
I hope the dlc will give Eva more love.

>>716296969
Either the underutlized characters get more of a chance to shine and develop (as they should do) or they double down on the popular ones and keep giving them the spotlight.

Shouma's personality growth arc
Kako's detective arc
Kyoshika's manga arc
Takemaru's gym bros arc
Eva imprisoning V'ehxness arc
The twins route
Yugamu's proper route
Moko's championship arc

>>716296847
Should do her route and see what’s up with her really

Give me DLC that lets me toggle Kurara's mask off during combat. I'd use her even though she's useless.

>>716297368
>Either the underutlized characters get more of a chance to shine and develop (as they should do) or they double down on the popular ones
Sounds like the twins win in any case.

>>716297481
>what’s up with her really
You can even get glimpse of that in KG and Mystery

>>716297516
Never gonna forgive that purple haired twink for shanking my boy Takemaru. Laughed my ass off when V'ehxness crushed his skull.

>>716264896
Even Kokichi for all his glaring problems is leagues above Eito.

>>716297568
Despite being a huge Darumi fan I still really don’t like her in KG. Very glad I did KG then Retsnom and not the other way around though so I got to not be disappointed

>>716297741
But Kokichi is better than Nagito.

>Tsubasa can do anything
The more I play, the more I hate this character.

>Join Invader Hunt?
I don't kowtow to threats from anonymous faggots. And how is Darumi not the obvious suspect here, they don't even seemingly entertain the possibility

>>716298202
She was my suspect for route 0 since I thought Eito was a red herring

>>716286052
Play more routes.

>>716296964
None of them trust Sirei, and for good reason. Did you fucking trust Sirei? Are you dumb?

>>716298202
You want to join the invader hunt anon. It's one of the best routes.

>>716299669
>At that point in the game, they were ready to trust Sirei with the information he was going to give them on Day 3
>Most of them believe you about the future if you choose to spare Eito

>>716242882
I've been playing on extreme since I started and honestly it's surprisingly well balanced. You basically just need to build around the idea that half of your units will die on the first turn and focus on using voltage to buff the shit out of the remaining units before slowly building up last yell on the rest of the cast on subsequent waves

>>716297514
thia but also let me toggle her coat, boots, outer layers, and her shirt on the inside, and her bra.

>>716264896
Even Nagito, he's only actually compelling in the game itself, because after that they just double down more and more on the "he's actually just a sweet boy who did nothing wrong" elements to appeal to the fujos who fawn over him. Pic very much related.

The best human antagonist Kodaka has made is Monaca, and even she wasn't spared from being brushed aside in the DR3 anime when Kodaka clearly got bored of DR as a series and started tying up every loose end in the least satisfying ways possible.

>>716299696
KG is mid

>>716300710
Only mid if you skipped the Crimson Veil showdown and didn’t bother doing the optional Yukari logs. There’s like 3 entire layers of worldbuilding people just breeze past and then call it flat. Also Kako's note chain in Chapter 4 alone makes it better than half the other routes.

>>716264519
At least that one ending (assuming you're talking about 87) has a great "get fucked, Eito" moment when Tsubasa, who is so in love with Takumi at this point, has no time for Eito's bullshit and just stabs him to death mid-evil monologue when he dares to threaten her man.

>>716299669
It would make no sense for Sirei to lie about Eito if he admitted he needs all of you and ultimately the bombs will do jack shit because of the revive o matic.
The fact that he made sure that Eito can't come back (I know Takumi took his crypto but at least from their perspective) must mean that Eito stayed dead for a reason.
