You know what, I'm actually going to praise Danganronpa very highly for the first time.
The first game was flawed. In fact a big mess if you look back after playing the triology. The 2nd game improved quite significantly although I would argue that the story and game started to fall off at the end (and I hate everyone praising Nagito, no, he's annoying). Ultra Danganronpa Girls has a minigame in which I will not describe but it sums up the game pretty well. Many anime adaptations and series', manga and other spinoff later, what do you get?
Media coverage. Merchandise and one of the biggest anime game followings. Danganronpa fans are known to be a bit on the crazy side and over the years forms this toxic and weird reputation in the online media. And so when the third game was announced the fans went wild. Another killing game?? Whats gonna happen?? Will the Hopes Peak storyline continue?? And what did the developers do?
They release another Danganronpa. However this time the trials have improved significantly in my opinion, the cast is fun, and overall the game leans on the more crazy side which I root for. What polished fun! Great for the Danganronopa fans?
Then the developers said, "Fuck you." I will not go into the ending much because spoilers but the reason why this game is ranked so highly is because of the way that Kodaka and his team sent off his series with a massive "I genuinely hate what my game and fans have become." And it is so amusing seeing all these people talk about how this game was "Ooh controversial, 2 was better, the ending ruined it for me.." No. Chances are you are the fans that the team has been making fun of all along.
Chunsoft, You have surprised me. You went off extremely slow and decided to finish with the biggest bang I have seen in a franchise so far. Its time to let the behemoth that this series is to rest.
