Great video. The analysis was good and I really liked your humor too. I was shocked to find that you don't have more video's, because you give the impression you have experience with making critiques like this. Raincode was a huge regression from Danganronpa for me. The carm and atmosphere still make it a worthwhile experience to me and I am glad the Danganronpa team tried something new, even if they made something far worse than their previous titles.
Thank you man, I think this Is the only video that openly talks about the horrendus writting of the game and how it fails yo be a detective game, or as I see it, a detective game made for actual children. I clearly remember the exact moment that i almost dropped the game, if it wasn't for the inmense carisma of the Lets Player who upload it (RanguGamer), on the first case, he had a theory about the culprit tiying the tope to one of the hands of the clock in order to scape, breaking the clock and making the suspect go to work, but no, the game doesn't allow you to make your own theories, Is so obvious that i legit was thinking "no, this can be THAT simple, this Is what the game wants me to think" but I greatly overestimated the writting of the game, not even Danganronpa was THAT uninterested on his own writting as this one. Also, this Is a spanish speaking people problem only, but the translate Is downright stupid and greatly unfinished, Is a minor problem, but even the Lets Player complaint about that and the slow AF gameplay constantly. Everything packed up in, what I consider, the worst detective game i experienced, the worst work of Kodaka and Spike Chunsoft and one of the greatest disappointments I had as a gamer. Edit: I checked your channel and realized this Is your first video, you have a great future for your form of analyze things and not sugarcoat them, also being objective and fair to the game, I really want to see what more can you offer, for the moment, you have my like and sub.
This is a really good video, and you said a lot of things I was disappointed by (and you were very fair to the game) That said, there were some things you got incorrect, so I just wanna say them just so at least some of the problems were addressed: -The only person who'd benefit to bring a corpse was Zilch, but since he came to Kanai Ward, he can't get one as there's all quickly disposed of (and would become alive as homunculus) -the reason swank was so sure the victims burned to death is because he was actively working with Zilch's murder, which is why he was shocked to find out Zilch died -Desuhiko and Yuma did hold hands back in chapter 2, which is how Yuma was able to disguise. Basically, Yuma had to hold Desuhikos hand as he went in the bag, but once he was out, he can let go
Nice video! I'm glad someone mentioned all the details that make no sense in each case, many of those really irked me while watching a playthrough. And you didn't even mention (I think) how unbelievable someone as young as Yuma being number 1, and having been so for years. And even if you assume he's older than he looks (say, late 20s), the game shipping him with Kurumi becomes weird. Honestly after chapter 3 I stopped trying to make sense of most of it and just went along for the ride, which made it somewhat more enjoyable. Also my favorite chapter was chapter 2, and I didn't think of the possibility of all three girls working together until midway through the labyrinth.Their suspicious dialogue didn't register as them being accomplices at all either. I'm pretty bad at mystery games though. What are your thoughts on the mainline Danganronpa games? Your brief mention of v3 made me curious.
Danganronpa 1 was enjoyable, it had a tight atmosphere and the novelty of the format. Things were over the top, and the cases were simple, but I distinctly recall having fun with the game. Danganronpa 2 improved the cases and characters, but it took away the gritty atmosphere, which made the middle cases feel very dull to me. Cases 1 and 5 barely elevate it over DR1, though. I can't say I liked DRV3, I really couldn't get into the game or the characters, probably because it felt like more of the same without a fresh spin, and in trying to make the cases elaborate, they came out with inconsistencies left and right. Maybe I played DRV3 at the wrong time, because I remember feeling very disconnected from it.
Instant subscribe. I agreed with almost everything you said and mentioned this a lot of times in discussions about rain code online. I really hope the next MDA will not make the labyrinths feel so inconsequential among the many others issues the game has
