@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy No, I believe it’s on PS4 version as well, although I played the Vita one. On Vita I had to search under “Demos”. It comes up on the PlayStation Store when I pull up the PS4 version there is a button to buy it and then underneath there is a button “Try Free Demo”
Surely they have it available for Europe/UK as well. Too much time and effort into localizing it to not have it there too.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Apparently they did at one point from what I can tell looking around the internet @Th3solution but it's been delisted since.
I'll have to use my US account. Though I won't be able to get those rewards you seemed to have a good enough time with it that it seems to be worth a looksee!
I was going to say I don't think the release was changed between the uk/eu & the us release but looking at my box it turns out my copy of v3 does in fact come with french text at the very least... Not that I did well enough in French class to make use of it 😅

@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
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
I'll most likely start it Friday @Th3solution@Kidfried. No idea how much I'll get through over the weekend... Hopefully the first chapter'll be done and dusted at the very least 😅
-EDIT- I did download the demo from my US account and gave it a little look. I'll probably play that tomorrow though!
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.
The PSVR is the best VR system on the market today.
@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.

Kirumi is pretty cool looking @Th3solution I'll agree. I really like we have a female protagonist this time around too and from what's been shown so far Kaede's pretty neat. I quite like the magician girl too who insists she's actually a mage and can do actual magic... It's cute.
As for the guys, I think Gonta's pretty fun and I quite liked Ultimate Supreme leader too who was causing mischief.
The introductions in the demo seemed to be cut short to me though? Or at least rather brief compared to what they'll be in the actual game. And yes I've not learnt/took all the names in yet of the cast
When I beat Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc I ended up looking up it's production and stuff like that.
Seeing the first trial when it was called Distrust with toned down character designs, being set in a warehouse with a more saw like vibe and monochrome colour palate... Even reading up on the demo version for Trigger Happy Havoc where Yasuhiro died instead of Sayaka
So it was kinda cool for the v3 demo to bring back what was basically the original Trigger Happy Havoc demo trial with some 4th wall breaking.
The new mechanics are interesting. I agree with you sol regarding Pysche Taxi. Little underwhelming as a reskinned/altered Logic Dive but hopefully it'll be better implimented/more interesting in the actual game.
Hajime not being voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch though... ugh. 😧
Nothing else to really say about my thoughts on the demo seeing as it seems to be completely unrelated to what's actually in v3 other then some mechanics and the cast.
Seeing as Ral says the first chapter is especially long maybe I'll get through the prologue for v3 tonight...

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.
Soooo I got through the prologue of Danganronpa v3: Killing Harmony last night. I played a teeeeny bit of chapter 1 but I wasn't taking it in all that much at that point so I'll just reload my prologue fin save.
If this is starting as it means to go on... We're in for one hell of a wild ride! The whole memory beam and re-doing the opening. Seems the 4th wall breaking that was in the demo is in v3 too. Maybe not being broke like it was in the demo but it's certainly leaning on it!
Monokuma's higher pitched voice took me by surprise too. Same voice actor but I wasn't expecting him to be quite so squeaky as he got. He sounds more like normal when he does an angry voice.
The song that plays for the Monokubs (which I believe is called Rise & Shine Ursine...) is especially catchy 😅 I love the new Danganronpa theme too and the opening titles was pretty good too.
The smacking desks/things about feature is... certainly a different way to get monocoins! Shame we haven't got the pet again though I did rack up an insane amount of monocoins rather quickly with that 😂

@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.”
Playing it on the PS4 @Th3solution I found that the music is ridiculously loud compared to the voice volume. I had to stick the voices up full and the music to the first toggle after mute. Might have to rumage around through the audio settings on my tv to see if that'll help.
Besides that though it's playing fine and looks rather nice

@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.
Well I started chapter 1 in earnest. Getting to the first free time section in the game.
That was an interesting turn of events. I did absolutely awful at the platforming game thing. Both times I barely got past the first two obstacles
I... seem to have figured something out though. Or at least I've got a very reasonable educated guess coming up due to certain events.
(Potentially) Big Spoilers
Using the Mono-Mono machine I was given a piece of sheet music on my third go of the machine. There's only one person in the game who'd want sheet music.
So... Unless Kaede has a twin or a new character is getting thrown into the mix partway through whom also has a musical talent, I think it's reasonable to assume Kaede is getting switched out as the protagonist at some point or maybe there's a character switching mechanic at play?. Shuichi's the obvious choice for but maybe it could be Rantaro?
Not quite sure how I feel about that yet. We'll see how things progress though, I'm enjoying it and the cast none the less so far.
To the trial in fact and saved it during the trial (Which I only learnt you could do partway through Danganronpa 2).
However upon loading the save and getting back into the fray today the screen was completely black and I couldn't progress at all during the trial.
Luckily using the chapter select function (as the save I had was the only save I'd made up to that point) I was able to restart the trial, albeit from the beginning, rather then having to restart the game and thankfully it was fine.
