CandyCrazy posted:That's probably a side effect of the LP format. I doubt it would feel like it was dragging so much if you were actually playing the game, and weren't taking several days-long breaks at every cliffhanger. I don't know, I feel like the first game went a little more quickly at the beginning but perhaps that's because I jumped in halfway.

Hey, that’s-
|
Togami stop being amazing, I'm shocked how much I enjoy his conversations in this as compared to last game. He has some of the best reactions, although I can see that cache of weapons being a huge problem later. And I really hope Kuzuryuu doesn't bite it this early, he seems really interesting and we haven't had a chance to get to know him better yet. The suspense! This is what I get for catching up with the series after eight months. edit: Personally I mistook the bolts for top hats on first glance. I couldn't figure out why anyone would make such a weird looking hat rack, then I just felt like a dunce when we got a better look at them.

It breaks the flow of the update because I have to stop for a minute and go "Uh... what the hell was Fedule referencing and what does that comment add to this update?"

The pacing in the first game was far better by comparision to this point in the game. While theres plenty of time for things to change, theres just much less tension and everything seems to be moving at a far slower pace (probably in no small part to the number of moments where there are 14 people standing about each with something to say). I'm kind of ready for something significant to happen as soon as possible as the game seems to be lacking some of the hooks the first had.

I can't decide whether Togami's collection of weapons is a red herring or not. On one hand, it will eventually be the only supply of weapons in the cabin. On the other hand, Kuzuryuu is still on the outside, and any one of them could have hidden a weapon in such a way that Togami couldn't notice. On the topic of weapons, what's with Peko keeping her sword? Sure, we've seen this game get lazy with sprites before, but it wouldn't be too difficult to just erase it. If nothing else, I'd expect her to be a bit sour about it if it did happen.

A lot of people are focusing on those gaps in the floor, so I'm presuming it's related to the first death. I'm going to guess that either Togami or Nidai, as the heaviest students, or Mikan, because, well you know, are going to either fall or get shoved down one, and get impaled on something.

In other news, it seems we have another paywall up. Since I'm sick of hearing people complain about being forced to pay $10 to read about a game they're fans of, I thought I'd do something. If anyone here has an outlet to Dangan Ronpa fans who don't have an SA account, please spread the word. -- The paywall seems to have struck again, leaving many out in the cold, so I thought I'd run a little promotion: Buy a copy of Super Dangan Ronpa 2 and I'll pay for your Something Awful account! Small print: 1. Limited to 5 (five) people. Email me before you buy to see if all the spots have already been taken - if they haven't I'll put your name on the list and give you enough time (within reason) to go ahead with the purchase. 2. Not applicable to people who already own a copy of the game (unless you buy a second one), or who already have (or had in the past) a Something Awful account. 3. You may buy whatever version of a new (not used) copy of SDR2 you like - the regular retail version, the limited edition box set, or the PSN digital release. You may purchase online or at an actual store. 4. I will not help you with the actual purchase. If you are not sure how to order video games from Japan, look for help elsewhere. 5. I will require some sort of proof of purchase - a receipt, a photo of you with the UMD in hand, etc. If you are ordering online, I will not require waiting until the copy of the game actually arrives, but please save screenshots of the checkout process at the online store. 6. If I suspect any foul play, I may ask for additional, specific proofs of purchase. This will be something that should be easily produced if you have actually bought the game. 7. If everything checks out, you get one standard account for Something Awful, worth $10 (this is coming out of my own pocket). I am not responsible for any probations or bans you may get while using that account. Anyone interested should contact me at hopespeakacademy@gmail.com. orenronen fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Feb 18, 2013 |

With all the discussion about the floorboards, I can't help but think Togami hasn't considered the possibility of someone turning the environment itself into a trap. It's kind of the obvious way for a murderer to get around the specific precautions that he's taking: keeping all the students in one, isolated place, ensuring they don't have weapons on their person, etc. This all assumes any murder would directly attack their victim. Given that it's been pretty easy to determine where the group is going to be, it'd never be hard for a culprit with the means to set something up to go there ahead of time. That's sort of the line of thought I was pursuing when thinking about the possibility that Mikan's accident was actually a murder attempt earlier: unlike the cafeteria from the last game, the restaurant isn't ever closed off at particular times, so knowing that every student would be there at breakfast, a would-be murderer might have turned the cables into something like an inconspicuous noose-trap during the night. I am also thinking about the floorboards because I'm trying to figure out what it is Monomi seemed to think was "dangerous" about this building early in the game. Unless that was a complete lie. (or she just meant a few nails and splinters. I guess.  )And, well: orenronen posted:

Why do I feel that Togami will not say anything about DR1, like most people seem to be expecting, and he will talk about something related to his family? Also, as it was implied in several comments during the update, that entire place is a death trap, even the steel plated windows give it away as such.

You'd think that if they were trying to hold the party in a place where Monobear wouldn't crash it, Togami would walk up the the cabin, notice the TVs and cameras, and go "welp okay well I guess that was a poo poo plan party's off."

Togami, don't be dumb, you can't eat churrasco with chopsticks. Also, you don't serve it on skewers...well, not like that, at least. You bring it to a table and slice it with a giant gently caress-off meat knife...ahm, I guess that's not the most appropriate dish for the circunstances. Nitpicking about South American cuisine.

Oren that is such a nice offer you are too cool for school. Really hyped about the teaser, don't own any Playstation product but DR is a series I'd crack and buy a system for. Especially if it's 3/a fighting game. I'm not sure what made me laugh harder this update, Togami's thoroughness with body checks or his . . . dedication to getting those skewers  Did he? I get the feeling he was extra sticky when he did me.How is she terrifying even when she's not tormenting crabs Hiyoko please just stop. Please.

I'm not going to police tumblr looking for update reposts. I do not particularly approve of such behavior, but I also did not set up SA's policy or want to act as its enforcer - I'm just following it because I like these forums and they're where I want to post my LPs. I made my offer because this is a chance for me to support Spike Chunsoft for making this game, and if it works I'd be more than happy.

Kuzuryuu is the new Justice Robo. This is getting way too suspicious. But I don't see why Peko would have killed him already. She would look pretty obviously guilty for being the last one to know his whereabouts or see any sign of him for a while... Maybe it's the other way around, and Kuzuryuu is taking advantage of a chance to operate without any other students watching him. He could be hoarding up on weapons from the store, for instance.

Togami was great that whole update. Anyway we are going to spend a bunch of time searching the kitchen for potential weapons then when we return to the party someone will be already dead. That or the body will be stashed in the lovely supply closet for some reason. Also Mikan will trip on the floor at some point; either for comic relief, for throwing a red herring into the murder, getting murdered, or accidentally murdering someone. Well that's about it for my speculation and praise for the update, so good luck orenronen!

The game's definitely setting you up to expect Kuzuryuu to be the first murder. I feel like that's totally not what's gonna happen though, it feels like the little guy has so much potential development. That said, I also feel like literally anybody short of the protagonist could be killed off at this point. My money's on Togami though. Also:  I am not eating it...!

 Kyahaha! There's a big demand for someone who looks like me, you know.That's still creepy, even coming from her, herself. CandyCrazy posted:...Kuzuryuu's already dead, isn't he? I would not be surprised if that was the case. I admire Togami's dedication to keeping things safe and secure. It's not going to help, but a valiant effort nonetheless. (I'm only half-surprised that Mahiru didn't make a big deal about the body-search, but she also seems pragmatic enough to understand why.)

Throwing out the obvious: Togami threw the party with MANDATORY ATTENDANCE to cover for killing someone. Evidence is in his dura-whatever containers. If that's not it, someone uses one of them to store the murder weapon.

Yes, so he can kill everybody except Kuzuryuu, who will immediately know who the culprit is and is much more experienced with murder than Hanamura. That said, it IS entirely possible that somebody HAS poisoned the food. If Togami drops dead after chowing down just now, Hanamura would immediately be suspected for obvious reasons. I could see the first trial going down like that.
