@KratosMD I chose "kind" level. I'm not too far into it, maybe I need to switch. I think you can decrease the difficulty mid game, but can't increase it, and I wanted to at least have the opportunity to platinum the game (although I don't think I'll be able to in this one, even though I did in the first one. D2 appears to have too many obscure sounding trophies that require a lot of grinding) and there are a couple white noise related trophies that require at least "kind" difficulty for white noise to show up during trials.
But now you're making me nervous 🤔 I sure hope I'm right about being able to decrease the difficulty on the fly.
That's interesting about the 2nd watch being more entertaining, but I can understand. At the end of the first one I wanted to go back and see how I had completely missed some of the clues in the early scenes.
So I preordered Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony today from my local store. I knew it would be a game I want and I may not be done with D2: Goodbye Despair and Ultra Despair Girls by Sept 26th, but sometimes there is shortages of these fringe Japanese games around here, so I wanted to be sure I had it secured, and it's always nice to get a preorder bonus if you know you're going to buy it anyway. Well, unfortunately there is no preorder bonus for the Vita version, despite a CD of the soundtrack and a softcover art book and some downloadable art or something for the PS4 version. I really wanted to be able to play it on the go. The only perk is that the Vita version is $20 cheaper. Given the large price difference, I figured I could live without the soundtrack and the book, so I went with the Vita version and the extra $20 in my pocket.
Just some early impressions of Danganronpa 2 as we gear up to receive Danganronpa 3 this week --
Although I'm just a couple chapters in, I have to agree with those who say D2 is a better game than it's predecessor. The map is much better and it has a little more overall polish. However, so far I think I liked the characters of the first game a little more. It's still early for me so I'll hold back final judgment, but the game has been a lot of fun so far.
@Kogorn733 It would be tempting to just be able to buy the D1/D2 Reload set since you get both for a better price, but I think these games are the perfect type to play on the Vita. Like I commented in the D3 review article, I found the Vitas touchscreen and rear touchpad useful in some of the trial gameplay mechanics. And the graphics are not anything that the PS4 would enhance really. So if you like using your Vita (and who doesn't!) then you will love them on Sony's handheld. But maybe someone who played the series on PS4 can comment on their experience. (And I think I read somewhere that the bundle on PS4 doesn't have any additional content)
@KratosMD Haven't seen it but might take s look at it, loved the first two games and looking forward to playing the third, is the anime set between the games? And is it any good?
@KratosMD I really need to start utilizing the rest mode feature on PS4. I guess I'm always paranoid about a power outage that will mess things up.
Didn't know about the added bonus for playing the demo for V3. 300 monocoins is quite a boon! It stinks that the demo is not available on Vita.

I would ordinarily lean toward PS4 versions for similar reasons except for the fact that my PS4 tends to "flatline" (aka, not be able to wake up out of rest mode) about 50% of the time I put it on rest mode. Sure, I've usually remembered to save beforehand and haven't lost much progress in those cases, but it's still incredibly annoying and I doubt "hard resets" are healthy for a PS4 and its hard drive in the long run.
@KratosMD Well I picked up V3 on launch day ... because I'm obsessive about games to the point I probably need to be medicated ... even though I won't play it for a while either because I need to finish D2. Man, I'm loving D2 though. I want to savor it and enjoy it rather than rush through it.

I'm fine with DRV3 targeting the PS4 so long as it doesn't gimp the Vita release. The demo I played was almost identical in performance to previous DR games, and I never got any goodies with previous DR games either, so there's really nothing to complain about. Not like with Ys: Lacrimosa of Dana, where the PS4 version had a ton of exclusive content that had to be cut out of the Vita version.
@KratosMD Not yet, although I have $40 sitting on PSN for precisely this game. I just don't see the point in getting it right now when Stardew Valley releases on Thursday and Mario Odyssey releases on the 28th. My new thing is that I won't get new games unless I'm able to play through them as soon as I get them, which prevents my backlog from increasing.
The lack of Junko or connections to the larger DR universe have also kind of worried me. I'll get it either way by the end of the year, but I'd appreciate your (spoiler-free) impressions when you beat it!
@KratosMD More than DR1. The puzzle/TPS gameplay was fresh, and I liked the disturbing "children of the corn"-esque storyline it had going for it. Also liked how it expanded on DR2's worldbuilding.
@KratosMD Mmmrgh. Don't tell me that when Super Mario Odyssey is only a few days away from releasing. Keeping away from this game has been torturous to begin with. I've heard the ending is super controversial, so I'm really curious to play and find out what the deal is.
Just two questions:
1) I was kind of annoyed by that stupid command where you can knock furniture out of a room when I played the demo. Is that heavily integrated into the gameplay?
2) Does V3 connect to the previous three games at all, or does it take place in an alternate timeline or something? Or is that impossible to even hint at without spoiling stuff?
I finally finished Danganronpa 2. I had been working on it off and on between PS4 games and real life stuff.
I really, really enjoyed it. If I had to say, I’d put it a little above the first game. Certainly both games are in Vitas top 10 for me. D2 has much more content than the first, the story was equally as interesting and crazy (although the end ... not sure how I feel about it). All the requisite twists and mysterious plot points were there and the characters were great and the quirky humor as well.
So now I think I’ll play Ultra Despair Girls before going on to Danganronpa V3. And I think I’ll check out the anime of the extra story arcs too, if I can find a good way to stream it at minimal to no cost.
