Already off to a better start than Danganronpa 1 going solely by the fact that I only despise two thirds of the cast this time around.
Hajime is a much better protagonist than Makoto because he's a sassy bitch (in a good way). Fuyuhiko is the only character in both the games I've played so far that actually has any semblance of a character arc and isn't just a one-note weirdo. Nagito is also interesting. I wouldn't call him a good character, but he certainly keeps the plot engaging. And of course, you can't forget THE FOUR DARK DEVAS OF DESTRUCTION.
The cases are much more difficult. I found this game's first case to be harder than anything in the first game by several magnitudes.
There's so many twists. There actually might be TOO many twists. If there's such a thing as "twist overdose", this game is definitely suffering from that. The killer is never the obvious choice and I often found myself going into class trials knowing next to nothing except a bag of random shit I found on the ground and some confusing testimonies.
If I'm ever transported into the Danganronpa universe, I'm gonna get away with murder by making sure that every single piece of evidence points to me being the obvious killer.
Ending is dogshit. It's a nonsensical cop-out.
"Ohh you don't get it, you have to watch the movie and read the novels if you want it to make any sense".
Nuh uh. That's like reading a book, getting to the final few pages and realizing that all of them were replaced by an image of Goatse with the text "Go to these coordinates if you want the actual ending" inside the asscrack.
Whatever though. It's Danganronpa. Nobody should take these games seriously. It's a funny bear game where stereotypes kill each other. Save the turtles. Eat your veggies. Remember to recycle. Don't piss in the sink unless you really really have to.
