      Well, of course if you've played the game then you can interpret it as a spoiler. Without context though, you don't really have what you need to deduce that as a spoiler. These comments are far more explicit than the review is.

    People have become such die-hard fanatics about the killing game concept that they completely miss the point of the whole game and the ending. Loved this way more than the others, much more belieavable and striking ideas

      BlackFrost same, I loved the ending

    • @AzinuHarru
      @AzinuHarru 6 років тому +5

      Ya people don't like this ending because it not the "player" wanted, but one that the player in the killing game wanted. A way to end the killing game in THEIR way. This I like it.

    This review is otherwise known as "How many time we can get Brandon to say Danganronpa"

  • @ddropthebass2171
    @ddropthebass2171 6 років тому +9

    Such an awesome game. I love Danganronpa. The ending of V3 certainly changed how I view the world of Danganronpa. But I enjoyed it and was pretty surprised where it went.
    I hope they eventually make more games while continuing on changing and evolving the rules of its' world. Given the ending of this game though, they could easily make more entries in the franchise.
    Like someone else in the comments said; Maki is best girl.

    • @meir2161
      @meir2161 6 років тому +4

      Spoilers kinda
      doesn't the fact that you want another danganronpa game go against the message of the ending and kinda makes you a bad guy. also Miu best girl

    • @ff8masterc
      @ff8masterc 6 років тому +1

      Miu is indeed best girl, V3 has killed the series. I want to see something new from SC.

  • @damiengrief

    Love this series so much. Glad it's been getting good reviews. Need to finish this game...got distracted with South Park and Mario the last week or two.

  • @tehmestuser

    Wow. I was not expecting them to review this. This game is without a doubt my favorite game of this year.

  • @InputOne
    @InputOne 6 років тому +1

    Do I need to play 1 and 2 before this? I've always wanted to jump in, but I'm not sure if I should go all the way or just dive into 3.

    • @sennevandoorslaer7168
      @sennevandoorslaer7168 6 років тому

      start with 1

    • @ff8masterc
      @ff8masterc 6 років тому

      play 1,2, (UDG optional) and watch the DR3 anime

    • @mikei6605
      @mikei6605 6 років тому

      I mean you definitely could, but they'll be mentioning the previous games a lot...

    • @lemonov3031
      @lemonov3031 6 років тому +1

      It's not 3, it's V3. 3 is the anime which is a a sequel/prequel to Danganronpa 1 and 2.

  • @RebirthCrusader90
    @RebirthCrusader90 6 років тому +7

    Probably the most fair and rational assessment of the game I've come across. It is commendable that the game takes a lot of risks in challenging player expectations, and many people reject this very notion in regards to the ending, which is exactly what I think was intended.

  • @hishamhassan6426

    Can I play this and still enjoy it if I haven't played any other Danganropa?

    • @HenryCurble
      @HenryCurble 6 років тому +3

      Technically yes but I suggest getting the previous titles since they just got rereleased in a bundle and at a budget price and this game does tell you the ending to the other games

    • @meir2161
      @meir2161 6 років тому +6

      Absolutely not the ending and many aspects of the game would be lost on you.
      at the very least play danganronpa 2 cuz its like the best game of all time.

    • @kouroshpirhadi8356
      @kouroshpirhadi8356 6 років тому +1

      I Recommend you playing first two games,because of amazing story and plot...and Danganronpa 2 and it's Animes were highlight of the series for many people

    • @Highwind452
      @Highwind452 6 років тому

      +HenryCurble Thanks I'll pick up the bundle then and make a start on that!

    • @ff8masterc
      @ff8masterc 6 років тому

      Buy 1+2 reloaded (UDG is optional imo) and watch the DR3 anime. V3 is not DR3.

  • @PrincessAmanda2290

    Hope you guys will do a spoilerepisode about this game. This game's ending begs for a good philosophical conversation.

    • @ff8masterc
      @ff8masterc 6 років тому

      Surely any hunger games or battle royale discussion would suffice?

    • @TrafalgarLaw2011
      @TrafalgarLaw2011 6 років тому

      Technically yes, but this hit me way harder. Tho i never really watched battle royale. Hunger games however didnt even come close to making me feel guilty.

    • @ff8masterc
      @ff8masterc 6 років тому

      Battle Royale is probably the original killing game medium and Kodaka has cited it numerous times as inspirition for Danganronpa. I highly recommend them (manga and live action movies are both great).

  • @ReiAyanami8
    @ReiAyanami8 6 років тому +7

    I can not get into this series for the life of me. One of my roommates likes this series, and good for her, but I just don't see the appeal.

    • @lemonov3031
      @lemonov3031 6 років тому +7

      ReiAyanami8 Play Trigger Happy Havoc for at least 7 hours. If the game is not making you feel anything then you can drop it freely.

  • @boldlyfumblin
    @boldlyfumblin 6 років тому +3

    Good review, but it feels like maybe this could have been a Don't Skip? Are we still doing those?

    • @Grayfox34
      @Grayfox34 6 років тому +2

      Blindly Fumblin I’m personally glad we decided on a review. It’s nice to put a score on a game that deserves it if we can. Don’t Skips are still happening but we’re in review season and as you can probably tell on this channel, we’ve got a lot on our plate.

    • @boldlyfumblin
      @boldlyfumblin 6 років тому

      Thanks for the reply Ben - I definitely respect your decision to review/not skip games as you see fit. I asked only because I'm aware of how busy the season is, so wondered whether some shorter review formats might be needed for smaller titles.

  • @alessandroturelli3352

    Big fan of the series, I'm holding out on this one hoping for a release for Nintendo Switch. The console would be perfect for it.

  • @rochellepaws
    @rochellepaws 6 років тому +1

    Nothing about the extra modes talent agency and monokumas dungeon? I thought they were excellent games within a game and added a lot of value to the package.

    • @ff8masterc
      @ff8masterc 6 років тому

      That's like saying dangan island was just as good as the main game in 2. It's just not true.

    • @rochellepaws
      @rochellepaws 6 років тому +1

      Well it's not since I didn't say they were as good as the main game.

    • @ff8masterc
      @ff8masterc 6 років тому

      They're both irrelevant and don't add value. The same goes for school mode and dangan island in 1 & 2.

      @PrincessAmanda2290 6 років тому

      ff8masterc lol I’m glad to see that Miu is so popular to be honest I thought a lot of people wouldn’t like her because she’s very vulgar.

  • @gm2987
    @gm2987 6 років тому +1

    The Twist in Chapter 1 was great at the time but when everything is revealed at the end it kinda ruined the game for me. It wasn't so much the meta elements as it was what was revealed that basically made the twist in Chapter 1 complete bullshit and I ended up hating the game for what it ended up doing to such an interesting character. Trying to be very vague as to avoid spoilers but anyone who played the game likely knows what I'm referring to.

    • @ff8masterc
      @ff8masterc 6 років тому +2

      SPOILERS
      Fridging someone is never a good plot device.

    • @gm2987
      @gm2987 6 років тому

      Yep agreed, its a damn shame thats ultimately what the twist boils down to.

  • @Funsopolis
    @Funsopolis 6 років тому +7

    Man, I wanted to like this game, but I think I hate this game more than anything else I've ever played. I don't even think its a bad game, but rather it does gives up its ability to coherently tell a story in order to get shocks. It felt so cheap that I just couldn't get invested in the story that I feel I otherwise would have enjoyed. The reason I hate this game is because it represents a turning point in a series that I previously loved. I know this terrible storytelling is going to continue into any future installment, effectively killing the franchise for me. I'll go into a little more detail while trying not to spoil anything, but if you're particularly sensitive to spoilers don't read any further.
    There are a few occasions where the player character sees things and does things, very important things, that the narrative doesn't tell you until a later. The player is supposed to be controlling this character and even seeing their thoughts, yet these important acts are kept from them. Its only done to shock and I firmly believe that the game would have been much more interesting if they hadn't done this. Its cheap, it doesn't make sense, and it breaks the immersion.
    There is also at least one occasion where the game directly lies to the player. Information is given to the player that their character has no way of knowing, but this information is later revealed to be false. Why does the game present this information to the player? Its there just to lead the player on so they can shock them with a reveal. When a character lies to another character, it causes you to distrust that character in the future. This is a good thing. It helps the player to engage with the world by making them question every aspect of it. When the narrative itself lies the whole world just falls apart. If you can't even trust the narrative to stay consistent, how can you stay invested in a story?
    I have other issues with the game, but they've already been brought up elsewhere. The biggest sin this game committed is taking an interesting world that I wanted to invest myself in and making me incapable of caring about what happened in it.

    • @alchemike6346
      @alchemike6346 6 років тому +6

      that's the point of the ending

    • @TheJuExperience
      @TheJuExperience 6 років тому +4

      To the ones saying that the ending ruined the franchise. You know that in canon, v3 does play in another universe? It's literally simply adding another layer of fiction and since the ending was open for yourself to decide, you could literally say everything in it was a lie by tsumugi and thus the World established in the other two games stays the same. Or you believe it's true what she said and thus danganronpa 1 and 2 have added another layer of fiction. And this are just the obvious Points; If you go into detail you could discuss in what way tsumugis cospox work, why she said her copycat Plan was perfect because she failed as well etc.
      I think the ending is genius because compared to the others it may not contribute to the rest f the World building directly but rather lets the player decide in what truth or lie to belief. Left with this uneasy feeling, not sure what is right, just like the characters at the end. A bridge between fiction and reality one might say.

    I usually love the writing on your reviews, but I gotta say that was pretty overwrought. I don't know anything about this series, but I still don't after watching this review. Everyone in the comments has played it already, so they're just here to have their views confirmed. I want to know if it's a good game, and all I really know is that you like 5 dollar words. I realize you're also avoiding twists, but I think you've handled spoiler heavy game reviews better in the past.

  • @Omnicloudx13
    @Omnicloudx13 6 років тому +2

    If you feel like the class trials are "long and drawn out" and "bloated", then maybe you don't enjoy these kinds of games as much as you think. The class trials are easily the best parts of the game.

    • @sennevandoorslaer7168
      @sennevandoorslaer7168 6 років тому +5

      when they argue over something for 20 minutes which could've just immediately been deduced from just a single piece of evidence makes it feel bloated

    • @Omnicloudx13
      @Omnicloudx13 6 років тому

      But how are you supposed to get to that point without the characters discussing what happened or give context to the player. I'm loving the game and I like the game rationalizes everything in the trials and nothing feels rushed.

  • @ff8masterc
    @ff8masterc 6 років тому +3

    Series is pretty much done. Ending was way too meta. Kodaka wanted to leave DR after V3, which is fine, but he didn't have to write it into the ground with the last chapter.
