I dont usually pre order niche games but something about the art style and character designs grabbed me. I was starting to get worried until the reviews came out but sounds like a hidden gem
@@Zach174.going through the same thing 🙄 it’s very disappointing!! I got the LE & I’m tempted to buy it & play it the standard, but they charged me already 😭
@@Zach174. One upside is it sounds like interest in the game is higher than what they expected which might mean a sequel or atleast something else based on this will come. It'll be worth the wait though, the game is a blast!
I've played about 6 hours so far and my god... That first case was genius. I can't believe we were getting such huge twists so early on! Definitely worth it. I can see this game getting a sequel and becoming a trilogy like Danganronpa.
@@flunknuts6260 I'm still playing it but so far, yes. It's style takes after V3 and it has references to that game as well. I think I spotted a Maki reference thrown there lol. Anyway, the game feels like a 3D Danganronpa with heavy aspects from that series. So without spoilers ofc, you'll encounter the equivalent of "Non Stop Debates" which are now called "Death Match Debates". And instead of using "Truth Bullets", you'll attack with Solution Keys. I'm happy to say that "Closing Arguments" are back as well. There are returning minigames and new ones which are fresh and enjoyable imo. The Mystery Labyrinth is absolutely enormous and is constantly changing so you won't get bored of that. It sure kept me up during the night lol. I really don't want to spoil what I know, but I can assure you, that the first case you play is a damn good one. Since it's not restricted inside a school, it can get more creative than usual. I will say, that it is fairly long. It took me 6 and a half hours just to get through it....but it's definitely NOT boring. The game kicks off in high gear and throws you in fairly quickly, so you won't have to wait long until you begin investigating. There's so much more to say, but I'll let you encounter them if you decide to buy it. TL;DR: Yeah. As a long time Danganronpa fan, I was not disappointed. Very much worth the purchase. I have zero regrets.
@@mohammedsuliman8072 It feels like if Danganronpa met Ace Attorney...in 3D. The cases are structured like Ace Attorney with that Danganronpa spice sprinkled in. I can't believe I'm saying that, but it's true. I'm on the "2nd" case myself so I can't pass a fair judgement on whether or not the cases are better than Ace Attorney overall, but I can say that the first case, at least, I waaayyy more intriguing that I'd anticipated. It's very good. I have a hard time choosing between whether or not I prefer V3's first case or this one since I'd originally believed that V3 had the best first case. If we compare this case to the first cases in Ace Attorney though...then Rain Code blows Ace Attorney's first cases out of the water, no question. Then again, this is a LONG first case, so be prepared for that.
@@PhoenixWrightAceAttorney that's so awesome I do agree V3's First Case was the best one ,but Apollo Justice had a Pretty Good first case if short admittedly it does hinge on a twist kinda like V3 except V3's one is way longer but it (AJ's first case) is still one of the best set ups in the ace attorney series ,kinda of a shame the rest of AJ doesn't strengthen it Also T&T and AAI2 have nice introduction cases But this case seems way longer in comparison
This is why I love this channel, they cover not-so-mainstream video games. I didn't know this game was coming today, thought it was going to be released next year.
Great! As an early DGR fan (I'm one of those people who read fantranslation on tumblr back when the game was only available in Japanese on PSP) this was a must buy but it's even better to learn that the game is so good and not just ok-tier!
@@NoisyPixelNewsSpeaking of localization, I'm also happy to see that the game is translated into several languages, which will help it sell better. In my country, France, most niche games are only released in English on the pretext that they don't sell enough, which is a stupid excuse because the publishers know very well that the average French person doesn't like other languages and therefore will not buy an English game. Honestly, my English teachers at the time were not very kind (they were only interested in those who already had a good level, which was not my case) and it's only thanks to my frustration at not not being able to play Tales of The Abyss and Persona 3 at the time that I am now able to follow videos from English speakers like you. In the end it's a blessing in disguise for me, but hey, I can't help but be happy to see publishers making efforts to offer multi-5 on Japanese games in recent years. Thanks to games like Nier Automata and Persona 5 for making them realize that niche games can also sell well in Europe.
I know I am not one of the OG fans since it was the 2013 anime that got me interested thanks to a youtube video that parodied DR1's anime and the music got stuck in my head. But I kept hearing about the fan translation version of the game that their were a few LPs about it so I watched NicoB's LP of it in late 2013 and the rest history as they say. I was ecstatic when I heard Spike Chunsoft and Kodaka were working on this game. I can't afford it get it atm, but I so want to get it before NicoB plays the game. Thankfully he's too distracted with Zelda and FF XVI atm lol.
After watching your review a lil while ago, this game stayed on my mind. And so in the end today I decided to get it for myself. Thank you for all the great work you do and for recommending/talking about games, that otherwise may fly under the radar.
I'm absurdly excited for this game! There's been a few fun mystery games this year, so reading your title as I know this channel typically plays them, has me intrigued. I kind of wanna tag you guys when I upload my mystery game/book collection potentially tomorrow. Easily my favorite genre.
@@NoisyPixelNews Hi! Wanted to let you know I've tagged you on twitter! I DMed it as well, but I know Twitter prolly archives it if I don't have twitter blue. Didn't forget!
Same. I got the collectors edition of this game and I couldn’t even understand why until I got it home. It’s truly a gift, and having a certain someone as a plushy in my Nerd Corner forever is a reminder of how memorable this title truly is 🎉
As soon as i found out this was in production on twitter, I was super excited because i know Kodaka wanted to do things like multiple culprits ect. but couldn't do so at spike chunsoft. I pre-ordered the special addition and the date it was coming to me was a good time because I would get my results for graduation that same week and this was my reward for it. Finally finished it last night and I love it!
Was toying with whether or not to preorder this one and in the end held out to see how it reviewed… didn’t even get to the end of this video before I got my order in 🙈😂 can’t wait!
Good review, I agree for the most part. It certainly deserves a 9 in my book. This isn't a review but my first take from playing the games first case and reaching Kanai Ward (takes a while but its an enjoyable journey) Initial impression: Game is gorgeous, i've finished the introduction and am finally in Kanai Ward. It was an emotional few hours, with more twists and turns than a M.C Escher painting. Shinigami is... everything she describes in her difficulty selection and then some! I've never played Danganronpa so I can't say how this compares, but so far the detective stuff really reminds me of Judgement, which I like, maybe a little more interesting than the original Judgement in that respect. As for the overworld I can't comment. Theres lots of story, the battles of logic in the mystery labyrinth sort of remind me of a more interactive version of the insult battles in the monkey island games. Did I mention the game is gorgeous? I'm not too fussy about graphics but I do appreciate when the image is clean, clear and smooth (regarding framerate ). Soo far other than a few textures most of the game seems quite nice, its on cri engine I believe, I dunno if their using some form of AA or they've just used appropriate asset detail but atleast of my tv i'm not noticing loads of jaggies, and its doesn't look really blurry so i'm assuming the resolution is either 900 or 1080p, either way it appears they've optomised the game well for the switch. . Framerate seems stable, dunno if its 30 or 60 i imagine 30 but either way, its not chugging. The art style is really nice aswell, Theres something about the way they've used cellshading on the characters but objects in the environment appear to be not using cellshading, so the characters really pop, and then with the accents of neon and the rain, hot damn is it alot of eyecandy. but it works. The voice acting imo is on point, the characters have alot of personality and its just a generally engaging game. I'm interested to see what you can do in the town, i'm assuming it allows you to do some backtracking as thats a fairly common theme in point and click style adventure games which this seems to have some elements of. I would say this game is more than it appears to be, for anyone who's been craving something a little different, this is that and then some, more linear than something like ToTK, but with some freedom to explore but more along the lines of Judgement, however I imagine Judgements world is more interesting to explore than this but we will see. I don't expect random things when exploring but its not out of the question. It could really do with a demo because people will sleep on this game.
I don't mind Yuma not having much confidence at first, since I'm pretty insecure myself and so can easily relate to him. He kinda reminds me of Atsushi from Bungou Stray Dogs, though being voiced by Kenji from the same series probably helps.
Have had the collectors edition for this one preordered since day one. Looking forward to picking it up! Oh, and Azario's the best!!! In case anyone forgot that!
I believe it's a timed exclusive. I can't imagine they'd just leave this on the Switch. Unless it's a 1st party game or a 2D indie I've been skipping out on some Switch games lately.
@@Mr.WaffullzIt's exclusive to the Nintendo Switch and this is coming from Spike Chunsoft. Fans asked if it's coming to other platforms since other titles has gone to others and he answered it with one word "no."
Its not bad on switch first off its not pixelated at all like ni no kuni 2 its just a little blurry which isn't as bad as it sounds.. Played like an hour on handheld and its so good the characters have that same weirdness to them like danganronpa
@@saysoun752 hmm just read that article. I highly doubt the least we don't get a PC port down the road. Sounds like the typical "we can't confirm any other platforms ATM, buy the Switch version" to me. Plenty of other games dropping this year so I can hold out.
I really enjoyed it. I really like how you never felt like things were off limits with this game story-wise; that anything could happen. The only thing I'd say is that I actually wish it was longer and that there was more to do in the city, because it ended up creating quite a beautiful atmosphere that I sort of wanted more time in. I kind of wanted to experience Kanai Ward the way you experience Kamurocho in the Yakuza games; more shops, things to buy, things to make it feel like a fully realized city, more time with the other detectives, etc. This game didn't -need- that, but it would have helped with the immersion. Still, I loved it. I really look forward to their next game and if this is their way of stepping up from visual novels into more full-fledged games, I'd consider it a great success for sure!
Since this game appears to be a good one I'm hoping that carries it to other platforms as well. I have been 1 click shy of buying the collectors edition for a while now and I believe seeing this, I should get it while i can. Thanks Noisy, you guys are great!
Good review! It’s good to hear that it’s a quality game. Been eagerly waiting to get a Danganronpa fix. Hopefully it will come to other platforms one day!
I like how there’s a pov cutscene where Yuma is looking at a mirror, glances down at the sink, and then when he lifts his head back up his eyes are still closed but he somehow can still see clear as day lol. I just thought that was funny, unless there’s an in universe reason for that, which I’m sure there is lol.
My only annoyance of the game is that the voices didnt always align with the character's mouth but its a small nitpick and doesn't ruin the game for me. Overall I agree with this review.
I just have a question about switch etc. I gues you are recording the footage over obs. I wanted to ask is there any way to connect your switch with your pc. I wanted to stream the game for someone over discord, but I just dont know if it is possible. If anyone knows a way can you please tell me?
It's possible but to do it legally you need a capture card, which costs a certain amount of money and is not profitable if you want to stream your gameplay to only one person. If you're still interested, type "how to record and stream Nintendo Switch Gameplay" and you'll find youtube videos telling you how to do it. You also have the option to do like in the 2000s and record your TV screen with your webcam. 🙃 Of course there is another less legal option that does not require the purchase of a capture card for hd gameplay but you need at least a mid-range gaming pc for that.
@@Gonzora hmm I am not intrested in spending more money XD. I think my pc is okay, but not the best. I just looked into it. I do not have a xbox and I think stream labs seems a little bit to anoying (how I understood it you are basically just fillming your switch screen.) It also isnt that important to me. I just thourght it would be cool playing a game while chilling in discord.
Well, the DLCs are coming up next so we may have hope for the possible backstories and character interactions, wonder if there's a DLC exclusive world perhaps but we may have to wait for it.
Wait. I didn't know before reading your comment that 4 dlc are planned and I don't really appreciate this news since the season pass is not provided in the collector. 😮💨
But is the actual mystery itself more like dangle romple, or like ghost trick that just came out?? I can only afford to buy one of the two but I just can’t choose and no review is telling me how good the mystery is, just the gameplay!! 😢
Well, the game is a Switch exclusive: the co-writer himself said he didn't want to compete with A and AA games on other platforms, hence the choice of the Switch. In short, a legal pc version is not currently planned.
That reason sounds really dumb, wondering if it is really true or some timed exclusivity is in play. Anyhow I will play it on Steam Deck, one way or the other, it is on publisher to decide. ;)
Sorry. I’m trying to avoid any spoilers. So I won’t know if you answer this in your video yet: Do you know how the game is supposed to be Azario? Or anyone?
Only thing holding me back from buying the CE is the performance. I can deal with the quality, I assume that would be better docked. My concern is the frame drops. Is it a big deal?
I played it on the OLED Switch so idk if that'll change anything, but I think I might have gotten like one frame drop throughout the entire game? It ran pretty smoothly.
@@NoisyPixelNewsNo delay in my country, however the collector will not arrive until tomorrow at home because Amazon sends new games on the day of release here.
Nope. Kodaka, the co-screenwriter, said this: "While releasing the game on a variety of platforms was discussed, it was ultimately decided that doing so would force the game to compete with other A and AA titles, likely resulting in Rain Code getting buried and lost." In short, the developers believe that the game (or rather its budget) is made for the Switch.
What I meant is that the release day is today and this is the first video I see talking about the game: IGN, GameSpot etc. didn't publish a review yet, and usually they do before the release date
@@pierrotcristian oh but that has many reasons :) the game in general is pretty niche and they also didn’t really do much marketing. It’s more of a *if you know how good these games are you know* kinda thing I would say haha
@@pierrotcristianWell, the two games do not target the same audience so it's normal that the most casual game AND developed by Nintendo is more highlighted. Also, since you're talking about reviews, maybe the embargo says it's not allowed to talk about the game before the official release, hence the lack of reviews until today.
Well, in terms on evolution Danganronpa was nice. The cases were a bit stupid with the timing, making not a logical sense when the game wants you to interupt, and in a few cases where I could have made a case with evidence the game didn't allow for it. The sequel was complete garbage. I couldn't even force myself to get to the end of the first case. I didn't like any of the characters. They were all very obnoxiously cliche, and two dimensional. No point picking up the 3rd on since I never completed the second one, and if quality shows from previous two games, I expect it to decline further. This video still doesn't convince me this is any good.
Danganronpa 2 was garbage??????? It is the most popular danganronpa game well I guess that depends who you ask but you did not give it a shot you thought the first game was meh so you tricked yourself in to thinking that 2 was going to be meh also the characters are two dimensional?????? 2 has the best characters in the franchise give it a shot by at least getting to half way through the 2nd case
@@aidanmajor7269 First game was alright. Meh means means all the good it had matched all the bad it had. That was already mentioned elsewhere. The main plot had me invested, and with that known along with very unlikable characters from the get go for 2 I felt no desire to torment myself with more of the same gamesplay with less enjoyed substance. I did play it enough to justify my opinion of it. I'm not alone either in this opinion. It might have good aspects somewhere within, but this isn't worth my time to put up with trash. Put it this way, a game that isn't good from the get go is poorly thought out. The whole point of making a great opening is to draw attention to the rest. Danganronpa 2 failed to make a good early impression for me. From recollection the teddy from the first game overthrew the teddy from the second, announced changes, and characters were doing their cliche things as normal. Pervs being pervs, angry ones being angry, naive being naive... etc. Very 2d introduction. Power to anyone who likes this kind of stuff.
@Zelknova Thanks for info. I've already taken it off my watchlist. I don't have time for sub-par games, nor the money for them. It looked kinda kool, but visuals aren't what matter to me most.
@@warcatbattalionFfs. It's a review, no one cares what language is used to illustrate a 10 minute video. Japanese audio is available on the game, it's already much better than when American dubbing was IMPOSED back in the day. Now stop doing your elitist weeb when you probably can't even read Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana. With that, bye little troll.

@@saysoun752 hmm just read that article. I highly doubt the least we don't get a PC port down the road. Sounds like the typical "we can't confirm any other platforms ATM, buy the Switch version" to me. Plenty of other games dropping this year so I can hold out.
I'm picking up the collector's edition later today! I'm excited for this game.
I really enjoyed it. I really like how you never felt like things were off limits with this game story-wise; that anything could happen. The only thing I'd say is that I actually wish it was longer and that there was more to do in the city, because it ended up creating quite a beautiful atmosphere that I sort of wanted more time in. I kind of wanted to experience Kanai Ward the way you experience Kamurocho in the Yakuza games; more shops, things to buy, things to make it feel like a fully realized city, more time with the other detectives, etc. This game didn't -need- that, but it would have helped with the immersion. Still, I loved it.
I really look forward to their next game and if this is their way of stepping up from visual novels into more full-fledged games, I'd consider it a great success for sure!
I've been waiting for this game. Im so excited
Since this game appears to be a good one I'm hoping that carries it to other platforms as well. I have been 1 click shy of buying the collectors edition for a while now and I believe seeing this, I should get it while i can. Thanks Noisy, you guys are great!
Looks amazing
Just picked it up. Can’t wait to play.
Let me know what you think!
Wow high score, will keep an eye on this one
Do it!
Are you getting the MYSTERIFUL Limited Edition? I was holding off but finally put in my pre-order tonight.
Yes I think so!
I'm just on chapter 1 and it's been quite the intriguing game so far ! anyone else getting persona 4 vibes from this?
Good review! It’s good to hear that it’s a quality game. Been eagerly waiting to get a Danganronpa fix. Hopefully it will come to other platforms one day!
Fingers crossed
looks cool. hopefully we get a PC release at some point. I dont own a switch.
I almost spit out my coffee when i heard Yuma's last name was 'Kokohead'
I like how there’s a pov cutscene where Yuma is looking at a mirror, glances down at the sink, and then when he lifts his head back up his eyes are still closed but he somehow can still see clear as day lol.
I just thought that was funny, unless there’s an in universe reason for that, which I’m sure there is lol.
My only annoyance of the game is that the voices didnt always align with the character's mouth but its a small nitpick and doesn't ruin the game for me. Overall I agree with this review.
I hope there is sequel for this game even if they put new main character or the same
Getting my Asian limited edition today! ❤
Lets goooo
I just have a question about switch etc. I gues you are recording the footage over obs. I wanted to ask is there any way to connect your switch with your pc. I wanted to stream the game for someone over discord, but I just dont know if it is possible. If anyone knows a way can you please tell me?
It's possible but to do it legally you need a capture card, which costs a certain amount of money and is not profitable if you want to stream your gameplay to only one person. If you're still interested, type "how to record and stream Nintendo Switch Gameplay" and you'll find youtube videos telling you how to do it.
You also have the option to do like in the 2000s and record your TV screen with your webcam. 🙃
Of course there is another less legal option that does not require the purchase of a capture card for hd gameplay but you need at least a mid-range gaming pc for that.
@@Gonzora hmm I am not intrested in spending more money XD. I think my pc is okay, but not the best.
I just looked into it. I do not have a xbox and I think stream labs seems a little bit to anoying (how I understood it you are basically just fillming your switch screen.)
It also isnt that important to me. I just thourght it would be cool playing a game while chilling in discord.
Well, the DLCs are coming up next so we may have hope for the possible backstories and character interactions, wonder if there's a DLC exclusive world perhaps but we may have to wait for it.
True!
Wait. I didn't know before reading your comment that 4 dlc are planned and I don't really appreciate this news since the season pass is not provided in the collector. 😮💨
Anyone know if you need the dlc? There are like 4 of them. Just skin? Story content?
Aren't there any descriptions for the dlcs?
Good to hear! Puzzle mystery we need more
I'm down
thx 🙏🏻
finally a game to play
i love these type of games
how long to beat the story ?
About 25 hours according to his response to another comment.
Just pre ordered it looked good from the start
But is the actual mystery itself more like dangle romple, or like ghost trick that just came out?? I can only afford to buy one of the two but I just can’t choose and no review is telling me how good the mystery is, just the gameplay!! 😢
Why is nobody talking about the music haha thats like the biggest thing for me in these games.
Oh it’s so good!
Thank you for saying that mate haha glad to hear it! I still have danganronpa music up at my office every day so I’m ready for more :D
I couldn't get into the Danganronpa games, but I might give this a try.
How does a game that released last month be sold out in most stores?
8:36 Damn. Shinigami has the void in the retail version.
Wait was it not always that way?
Does anyone know whether this supports 5.1 surround?
Master detective rain code aka a Danganronpa spiritual successor! Awesome and im getting my copy today
Can't wait for this to come to PC
Well, the game is a Switch exclusive: the co-writer himself said he didn't want to compete with A and AA games on other platforms, hence the choice of the Switch.
In short, a legal pc version is not currently planned.
That reason sounds really dumb, wondering if it is really true or some timed exclusivity is in play. Anyhow I will play it on Steam Deck, one way or the other, it is on publisher to decide. ;)
this game wouldn't have any problems on the pokemon switch lite right?
Hearing this is a switch exclusive I was immediately disappointed. I'm going to have to see how well it emulates. (I'll still buy it legally)
Danganronpa is one of my favourite series of all time, very happy this is a great spiritual sequel!
Still not released. I can't download it from pixel shop
I’m really interested in this game, but is it worth the full price? I’m really interested, but there seems to be no demo or options like Daganronpa.
it is worth it
They had me at bikini
this game was so fun and then chapter 4 hit and I could definitely tell that spike Chunsoft knows how to make sad games, bc chapter 4 HURT.
Wish you didn't spoil the culprit of the first case in the review.
I want this on pc so bad
This is my next game after ff16
Sorry. I’m trying to avoid any spoilers. So I won’t know if you answer this in your video yet: Do you know how the game is supposed to be Azario? Or anyone?
How long? 25 hours
@@NoisyPixelNews Yes. Thank you so much!
Why does it have to be on the switch. I'll wait for the steam release
I'm sorry but I think that the devs said that it will only be on switch
Recent releases + huge backlog too big. This looks ok, will wait till it’s no more than $30 in case I never get around to playing it.
These kinds of games usually only go up in price since it's a niche game and will probably only have so many made.
@@saysoun752 oh I am 100% digital, but thank you. I had no idea that they were limiting the production QTY.
How does the story and characters compare to Danganronpa the games?
Only thing holding me back from buying the CE is the performance. I can deal with the quality, I assume that would be better docked. My concern is the frame drops. Is it a big deal?
I played it on the OLED Switch so idk if that'll change anything, but I think I might have gotten like one frame drop throughout the entire game? It ran pretty smoothly.
@@kewol5901 switch oled is just better screen right, actual chip is the same? In that case I'm sold, thanks.
@@Elementking990 I'm pretty sure that's the case, So yeah, Just finished it myself, so hope you enjoy it as well~
I understand its not the genre, but if this game had combat id be all over it
I'll play this game one day, prolly when a sales hit.
Did anyone physical copy delay?
the limited edition was delayed
@@NoisyPixelNewsNo delay in my country, however the collector will not arrive until tomorrow at home because Amazon sends new games on the day of release here.
Is this voiced by ai or something?
Japanese voices all the way,🖤
Only down side of this is it's only confirmed for the switch. I really hope that changes.
Omg danganronpa V4 is real
God I hope
Hopefully its just a timed exclusive on the switch, it would be so much better on newer hardware
Nope. Kodaka, the co-screenwriter, said this:
"While releasing the game on a variety of platforms was discussed, it was ultimately decided that doing so would force the game to compete with other A and AA titles, likely resulting in Rain Code getting buried and lost."
In short, the developers believe that the game (or rather its budget) is made for the Switch.
I love the game except the Mystery Labyrinth. By far the most annoying and tedious part of the game.
i wish this was release also in ps5
October 2024
This game has been completely overshadowed by Pikmin
if you have a bad taste in gaming maybe
oh...maybe
What I meant is that the release day is today and this is the first video I see talking about the game: IGN, GameSpot etc. didn't publish a review yet, and usually they do before the release date
@@pierrotcristian oh but that has many reasons :) the game in general is pretty niche and they also didn’t really do much marketing. It’s more of a *if you know how good these games are you know* kinda thing I would say haha
@@pierrotcristianWell, the two games do not target the same audience so it's normal that the most casual game AND developed by Nintendo is more highlighted.
Also, since you're talking about reviews, maybe the embargo says it's not allowed to talk about the game before the official release, hence the lack of reviews until today.
danganronpa 4?
sadly no :(
Framerate drops yikes…
Well, in terms on evolution Danganronpa was nice. The cases were a bit stupid with the timing, making not a logical sense when the game wants you to interupt, and in a few cases where I could have made a case with evidence the game didn't allow for it. The sequel was complete garbage. I couldn't even force myself to get to the end of the first case. I didn't like any of the characters. They were all very obnoxiously cliche, and two dimensional. No point picking up the 3rd on since I never completed the second one, and if quality shows from previous two games, I expect it to decline further.
This video still doesn't convince me this is any good.
Danganronpa 2 was garbage??????? It is the most popular danganronpa game well I guess that depends who you ask but you did not give it a shot you thought the first game was meh so you tricked yourself in to thinking that 2 was going to be meh also the characters are two dimensional?????? 2 has the best characters in the franchise give it a shot by at least getting to half way through the 2nd case
@@aidanmajor7269 First game was alright. Meh means means all the good it had matched all the bad it had. That was already mentioned elsewhere.
The main plot had me invested, and with that known along with very unlikable characters from the get go for 2 I felt no desire to torment myself with more of the same gamesplay with less enjoyed substance.
I did play it enough to justify my opinion of it. I'm not alone either in this opinion. It might have good aspects somewhere within, but this isn't worth my time to put up with trash. Put it this way, a game that isn't good from the get go is poorly thought out.
The whole point of making a great opening is to draw attention to the rest. Danganronpa 2 failed to make a good early impression for me.
From recollection the teddy from the first game overthrew the teddy from the second, announced changes, and characters were doing their cliche things as normal. Pervs being pervs, angry ones being angry, naive being naive... etc. Very 2d introduction.
Power to anyone who likes this kind of stuff.
@Zelknova Thanks for info. I've already taken it off my watchlist. I don't have time for sub-par games, nor the money for them. It looked kinda kool, but visuals aren't what matter to me most.

Hater
Bruh. I'm not a fan of American dubs but refusing to listen to a review for this reason is stupid.
@@Gonzora consuming japanese games with dubs invalidate your opinion, sorry no sorry.
@@warcatbattalionFfs. It's a review, no one cares what language is used to illustrate a 10 minute video. Japanese audio is available on the game, it's already much better than when American dubbing was IMPOSED back in the day.
Now stop doing your elitist weeb when you probably can't even read Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana. With that, bye little troll.
@@warcatbattaliongrow up
Why do they even bother with these dubs
Well, it's not my case but there are people who don't like to hear Japanese and prefer to understand what is being said.
Does it have the original Japanese audio? The English subs sound terrible.
Yes it has Japanese audio. I like that it's got Takehito Koyasu.
I think the English dubs are good but ok
