Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair - PlayStation Vita
I have spent the entire week going through the story campaign. Just a couple of hours ago I have finally finished the main story, and oh boy.
First of, there will be spoilers so beware.
So I have a couple of stuff to discuss, starting with..
[spoilerbutton]
SONIA LIVES! I AM SO HAPPY.
The other ones I liked ended up getting killed, literally 5 girls in a row was a bit extreme don't you think?
Over time I ended up liking Chiaki (Gamer) also, but sadly she got crushed by a Tetris piece. RIP.[/spoilerbutton]
As for the story.
[spoilerbutton]I was not expecting so many twists and turns in this game, especially with the discovery that everything was in a simulator and our main character is none other than one smart ultimate despair person corrupted by Junko and Hope's Academy. The returning characters from the first game was also a nice treat since the first game's ending did leave people with speculation. I was certainly surprised to see Monomi was actually on the good side and not just another villain who was intentionally being picked on by Monokuma just to avoid suspicion.
Nagito is one crazy bastard. This tune certainly fits him well.
Overall I had a lot of fun with this game. I'm still sad about these characters getting killed, especially Mikan (Nurse) which due to various events ended up making her a killer. Fuyuhiko (Yakuza) on the other hand has given me some respect towards him after what happened in Chapter 2 and 3, sure he was a dick at first but he made up for it and ended up becoming a survivor plus his eye patch is cool. For some reason I keep suspecting Kazuichi (Mechanic) to become a killer at some point due to his obsession with Sonia but in the end he survived. Akane (Gymnast) was cool, keeping her promise to live to Neko while eating constantly every day.
The Zero Escape style chapter was an interesting surprise, I should really get that game at some point (as well as 999).[/spoilerbutton]
Favourite OST tunes from the game (YouTube comments have
spoilers!) include:
-
The main theme (updated version of the first game's main theme)
-
That moment when Monomi appears
-
That moment when Monokuma appears again (updated version of the first game's main theme)
-
Punishment tunes (every version)
-
"Ekoroshia" aka the theme in which you add guitar solos to the investigation
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is out in about 2-3 weeks time for those curious. I'm aware a third instalment is in pre-production so I wonder how that will turn out.
