@Kidfried My life tends to be so chaotic that I’m hesitant to predict a solid schedule, but perhaps a loose goal could be to do 2 chapters a week? I’m not sure I can stick to that every week but I might. At roughly 2 chapters a week then we’d be finishing in about 3 weeks. Howlongtobeat has it as 40 hrs minimum without doing extras (and I always do the extras 😅) So hopefully it’s reasonable to get it done in 3-4 weeks, depending.
I think I’ll be starting the actual game tonight as well.
It looks really good. The demo of the trial games has a mini-game I didn’t care for very much but hopefully it’s implemented better in the game. I’ll spoiler tag although it’s not really a spoiler per se, unless you want to be surprised by the new mini games. the Psyche Taxi. The car controls feels super wonky

It's brilliant that you're all playing this @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy, @Kidfried, @Th3solution, and as @Ralizah notes it's very twisty. It even gets a bit mindf*** near the end but I enjoy that sort of stuff in fiction. 😂 It really is a stunning game and I'm excited to hear what you all think as you go through it.
I loved Dangaronpa. It’s truely great on the PS4 and PSVITA. A true classic. I’ve played it several times and I also want to hear what people say about it.

@Kidfried@Ralizah@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy So I guess in honor of starting DV3, I would be remiss if I didn’t join in solidarity with a Danganronpa avatar. I figure I’d pick something from this game and I’m so early that I barely know any character very well, but besides Kaede I kinda like Kirumi for some reason. There’s something cool about her.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
I think I liked most of the characters. Gonta is really cute with his love of insects. Miu Iruma cracks me up. She's so over the top with her foul mouthed insults, some of which are extremely crude.
@Kidfried@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yeah, despite my best intentions I didn’t make much progress in the game. Playing on Vita I did note rather poor audio so quit the game to download the free DLC “HQ Audiopack” which hopefully fixes that. Awaiting the download was just enough of a diversion to derail me down a TV rabbit hole and so I will hopefully make good headway on DV3 over the weekend.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Yeah, I bit the bullet and downloaded the audio DLC as well. It sounds fine once you do. I imagine not including it in the Vita version by default probably has something to do with saving space on the cartridge for physical buyers.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Words can't describe how much I love the mechanic where you walk into a room and just tear it apart looking for monocoins. 😂 Makes the first-person exploration so much more fun, IMO.
@mookysam It took a while for me to warm up to Miu, until I realized the psychological reason for her constant crassness and vulgarity. She's still kind of gross, though.

@RalizahSadly for Miu by the time she becomes more sympathetic she's basically doomed. 😂 I do admit to choosing her for the love hotel mostly because I had a grim curiosity about what awful things she would say.
The audio is pretty muffled on the Vita without the HQ audio pack. It's a large file but essential given the amount of spoken dialogue. The only thing I felt the Vita version missed out on was better FMVs as they're extremely compressed.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy That's an interesting way to get spoiled on one of the game's big twists. I didn't mess with the monomono machine that early on, and I've never been the type to try and guess mystery solutions before they happen, so I was kind of blindsided by it near the end of the trial.
And yeah, everyone does bad on that platforming game. I think it's actually technically possible to beat, but Monokuma really wants you to feel trapped.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy My Danganronpa time was truncated this weekend so I’m still stuck in the prologue. I look forward to catching up this week, I hope.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Foxy-Goddess-ScotchyIf I'm being honest, I had to put the game down for a week or two after the ball dropped in that first trial. I was so angry. Clearly the game did its job and got me attached to the character quickly.
All of the trial mechanics and minigames in V3 are very extra, but I liked how they fleshed out the proceedings. Combine that with some of the stellar trials, and it easily tops my list of DR games in terms of the pure gameplay.
I think the smacking mechanic really justified the move back to the full first-person navigation of the original.
I forget: did you play the demo at all?

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy@RalizahI have to admit that I didn't see the chapter one twist coming right away. It was a bold move to kill Kaede off, particularly given how likeable she was. It was a sad end to the chapter, made all the more emotional by the fact that as Clair de Lune is one of my favourite classical songs, and so I did shed a tear. As for those hidden Monokuma’s Foxy I missed loads of them despite thinking I was doing quite well. It really is devious! 😂.
I was worried about the lying mechanic as well, considering it seemed like it'd add needless layers of complexity to the already finely-tuned trial gameplay, but I don't think the way it's integrated will end up being too much of a problem for you.
I kind of suspected Shuichi as well, which is what the game wants you to do. He seems like a very deliberate parallel early on to both Sayaka and Nagito, the "buddy" character who ends up being a murderer.
I also shared your feelings about Miu early on. Without saying much, I do think she ends up being a good inclusion in the game, though.
I do agree that Rantaro is a looker, although he doesn't make my heart skip a beat in the same way that Nagito did.
Somehow I’ve been playing about 6 hours and I’m still in the middle of Chapter 1. I’ve been obsessing too much with exploring every nook and cranny and slapping items around the rooms (already have the trophy for slapping 1000 times 😛) scouring for monocoins — which, as an aside, seem to be much more plentiful this time around. I’ve probably spent around 300-400 coins already at the monomachine and I still have 600 coins yet to spend. I have around 50% of the items already.
So, I just need to progress the story. I’ve had 4 free time sessions so I expect that there will be a trial soon... maybe?
I’m taking it slow and learning the map because I just want to make sure I cover all my bases once things start to go crazy.
Feel free to progress ahead. I’m shortly behind you. Hopefully will have end chapter impressions by tomorrow.
@Kidfried I could do without some of the obvious localization additions in the script (like, I don't want to see Trump referenced in my Japanese game), but I also don't think the tone would be the same without the occasionally off-kilter humor or frankly bizarre characterizations.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Glad you guys seem to be enjoying how the mysteries are developing thus far. It mostly continues to get better. In particular, one late game trial is easily my favorite in the series in terms of both the stakes involved and the constant sense of unpredictability to it.

Westernization of Japanese games is an art. To me, Dangaronpa’s translation is excellent, I got all the jokes and everything made sense. Hats off to the team that did it.
