ZeldaTPLink 08/15/19 12:35:00 PM #21 | Toko: "Nice! I'm going to be dropped off." ... Genocide Jack, huh. Well that would be a secret worth killing for. Whoever did it picked a good target, though. Sayaka was a newb, trying to challenge an athlete to close combat. But this one went straight for the weakest target. Secret council rules the world. Cool. And the plot clearly wants me to think it's Toko and she has a split personality. I'm gonna guess she is really Genocide Jack but this time it wasn't her. Chihiro liked to hang out with boys instead of girls. She refused to train with girls and went out at late night to avoid being seem. She was sad for being weak. And the posters in the lockers suggests their genders have been swapped. Calling it now: Chihiro was transgender. The extension cord Byakuya was using to read is missing, and is obviously the one used in the murder. The case file is also missing. Could it be Byakuya, after all? But then why would he give me all that info? Trial next. |

ZeldaTPLink 08/15/19 11:09:33 AM #19 | They say no accomplices, but the victim herself could be a unknowing accomplice. Maybe she let a boy in. WIth that theory it would be Kuwabara, since it's someone she trusts. Then again it could be something more simple like entering the girl's locker from the pool. |

ZeldaTPLink 08/15/19 11:01:26 AM #18 | So the murder happened at the girl's locker. A boy couldn't enter it because of the machine gun. Which is why it's totally going to be a boy. You can't fool me, I was raised on PW. Byakuya seems like he's being set up to be the main suspect so I'll exclude him. It could be it's either Kuwabara or Taka because they got a lot of development yesterday so the game could be setting something up. I like Kuwabara so let's go with Taka (inb4 I'm wrong, damn Kuwabara don't die yet). As for the others, I'm not sure if learning Hifume's dark secret would be, huh, interesting. Fortune teller dude is somewhat more likely. He's one of the least developed, if the game wants to go through the road of offing the most boring ones first. I guess he's secret is that he's a fraud? |

ZeldaTPLink 08/15/19 10:29:45 AM #15 | So yesterday I socialized with Sayaka, Chihiro and Kyoko. Today I went for Kuwabara and Celeste. Kuwabara invited me to join his gang. Alright. Also I gave him a bike seat which he really liked. Celeste teaches me her strategy to win at gambling. "Be lucky". Gotcha. Also gave her a burned bread. Not sure if she liked it. They both raised my skill points, but no new skills. So far Sayaka was the only one to give me a new skill, and the one who revealed the most juicy backstory stuff. Kuwbara makes a promise as a man not to make Chiriho cry again. Danmit Kuwabara, don't do that, now you're gonna die. Plot is now implying I should socialize with Byakuya and Toko. Byakuya doesn't wanna talk. Toko does. Death flags raising for Toko, since the last time the plot railroaded me into socializing, it was Sayaka. Let's see if she is more tolerable now. I give her some legendary pen. She goes full tsundere. I guess her book's genre and the tsundere levels rise through the roofs. She runs away while screaming in tsundere. I unlock a second skill, Vocabulary, so I think this was a success. Still don't like Toko much, though. Sakura next. I love how this huge muscular thing is named Sakura. Anyway, I give her a god of war thingy and she likes it, but no new skill. She has a cool backstory though, being a MMA fighter who is training to defeat someone. So the conclusion is that if I want new skills, I need to talk with whoever the plot is railroading me to. So Makoto wants to eat something at nighttime. Celeste is investigating the locked bedrooms, savvy goth that she is. Chihiro is going to the warehouse for "reasons". Hmm. Kuwabara and Taka do a sauna endurance contest and now they are bros. I saw that coming the moment they started the contest. Gonna be sad when one of them dies. Also I love how Kuwabara's dubbing is full of "you son of a bitch" and other swearing. Toko has a crush on Byakuya. A pretty creepy one, actually. More free time? So I talk to Hina, give her a swimsuit, learn some weird stuff about towels. And get more skill points. Clairoyant dude heard something like explosions and shots from the outside. I bet this is like Portal where the world is ending while I'm trying to escape. And Monokuma will reveal the world that I wet my bed unless I kill someone. Not a very effective threat, Monokuma. But in a group of 12, chances are someone has a secret worth killing for. So it's Chihiro. Didn't see that coming. Well it makes sense in retrospect, because since the start I was expecting her to add to the game with her programming or math skills (especially since the opening shows her in a cool scene surrounded by computers), and so far she has just been shyness and "I'm sorry" over and over. So I guess she was made to be one of the least interesting kids from the start. Totally assumed Kuwabara was going to die and make her cry though, and it got flipped around. Byakuya is being a cold bastard, but I'm liking him more. Gonna bet he is not the killer, because it's too obvious. The plot is hinting that whoever did it is a cold blooded monster, so it will be someone who looks more innocent. Maybe Kuwabara, or Toko, or Hina. Or maybe Taka who was totally okay with revealing his secret yesterday, except he wasn't. |

ZeldaTPLink 08/14/19 3:13:28 PM #10 | Byakuya has a point though. Food could be poisoned. Granted, any kind of killing done with people around is extremely risky because you have to avoid getting caught, but it could be done. |

ZeldaTPLink 08/14/19 3:11:27 PM #9 | So winning cases unlocks more areas. In most games like this, new areas tend to be randomly unlocked for plot reasons ("you are now prepared to go pick that evidence up"). So this is cool game design, since it doesn't try to come up with excuses for broken bridges, it's a game in-universe. Archive room behind library will totally be relevant. Ok one thing I dislike is how this game cuts down entire dialogue paths if you click a certain thing first. I clicked the boy's locker room and missed talking with the 3 girls who were in the pool room, then got skipped to the next scene. Sometimes I can load the game to go back and catch missed parts, but sometimes I haven't saved in a while so it isn't worth it. Celeste might be my 2nd favorite char. I like how she acts so obviously evil yet she's dropping truth bombs left and right, I wanna see her backstory. From now on, Biker Guy's name is Kuwabara. This is canon. Byakuya will totally be a killer and will be fun to take down. He has Ace Attorney villain written all over him. |

ZeldaTPLink 08/14/19 1:15:19 PM #3 | One advantage of being spoiled about Leo is that I could see the expressions in his face during the trial. They went from confidence to fear to despair as he realized his goose was getting cooked. Which is something I guess I'd only have caught on a replay. Also I love how this game is basically mafia with slightly different rules. I've already spent some time thinking on how a mafia game based on Danganronpa would be like. |

ZeldaTPLink 08/14/19 1:03:57 PM #1 | I started playing Danganronpa, after having bought all 3 games on a Steam sale. And I just realized this is a great chance for a playthrough thread. I've just finished Chapter 1. This playthrough is mostly blind, because I have little self-control and I keep checking wikis/TV Tropes for things I've not yet finished, so I learned a few things I shouldn't have. - I know the fashionista girl is behind everything. Or something like that. And I guess she's probably alive. - I know there is some terrorist organization that wants to spread despair. To make this more fun I'll make sure I don't read any spoilers from now on. I don't know who will die next or any of the killers. Anyway, some bullet points. - Makoto is not the most interesting lead but he's passable. And it's a bit weird how the other characters keep telling me I have to be the one to solve the case. I mean it's a videogame but could be less forced. - He is right that everything is Monokuma's fault though. This is Hunger Games. I'm surprised Makoto isn't considering killing someone yet. I can't feel bad for Leo or Sayaka for wanting to do it. - Purple Headed girl is my favorite character, and I guess she's Ultimate Detective. - I made a bet to myself that Leo was going to be the first victim, because he's one of the least interesting kids. Came close enough. Didn't think Sayaka would be it because she was saying she would be a secretary, so I was hoping for a Maya Fey dynamic. The reveal that she was the one who tried to kill first was very cool. - Most of the characters are cliche, but I could see some of them having hidden depths. Like the programmer and the swimmer, and the rich guy. - The writer girl is my least favorite character by far. Please let her be a murderer so I can catch her at some point. - Monokuma is a solid villain, though he gets repetitive sometimes. - New bet: the next victim will be the clarivoyant dude. Simply because his schtick is getting old. - This game is great overall, which is to be expected from what is basically Ace Attorney and Hunger Games crossover. I could do with a few less action gameplay (like that rythim game). On the other hand, the comic book making part at the end of the trial was super cool. |

Topic | I love the Pokemon series, but it requires too much fucking time |
ZeldaTPLink 07/23/19 1:52:05 PM #50 | charmander6000 posted... A 5 or 6 IV Ditto is hard to get without hacking. Multiple 4 IV Dittos isn't too hard, it just adds time to your breeding. Well having a 6 IV DItto actually helps and it's never being caught by the hack check because you aren't actually bringing the Ditto itself, you are bringing its descendants. I think everyone uses hacked Dittos even in VGC. Still, it takes about 40-60 minutes to breed each pokemon, plus the EV training, level up time, and the hassle of trading to get the hidden abilities and version exclusives. It's annoying and pointless at best. At worst, it makes team testing on cartridge unviable. There is no reason a multiplayer strategy game needs to have that kind of grinding. You don't force a basketball player to work at an uniform factory during 6 hours a week before he can train basketball. You skip to the actual training part. That's real work. The rest are artificial barriers. |

ZeldaTPLink 07/22/19 8:24:29 PM #33 | Nanis23 posted... I swear people that complain about this must have stopped playing Pokemon after Gen 5 So basically "it used to take 24 hours of grinding to make a team, now it takes 8 hours so stop complaining". Which fails to take into consideration that grinding itself is a concept that does not match well with competitive strategy games, and should be removed from competitive battling altogether. |
Topic | I love the Pokemon series, but it requires too much fucking time |
ZeldaTPLink 07/22/19 8:21:45 PM #32 | Yeah it's garbage. EVs at least are a good concept strategy wise but they are a pain to train. IVs are just bad in every sense. They barely add depth to the game besides the occasional Trick Room minmax. They exist so Nintendo can make the pokemon feel more like living creatures to casuals. Don't try to argue that in the pokemon boards, you'll run into a horde of teenagers who somehow think spending an hour biking for each pokemon is the expression of RL meritocracy. Well, what I do is stick to Showdown for team testing and only breed it in cartridge when I intend to go to RL tournaments. Takes about a full day to breed a team, plus the time begging online for mons with hidden abilities. It's annoying, but manageable for tournaments. But I really wish Nintendo added a simulator mode inside the cartridge so you could test teams. |

ZeldaTPLink 07/21/19 1:45:32 PM #51 | tyder21 posted... Comparing movies across decades is a crapshoot anyway. "Inflation" is just one factor of so many that makes the comparison useless. I mean, sure, you could consider every single factor that makes the two films different as a reason not to compare them, but if you are going that way you might as well stop making comparison between media altogether. Of course there are things that make them different, but we can accept that and then discuss the reasons it's different, while still acknowledging that more people saw Gone with the Wind than Avengers. What is silly is to make the comparison for money, and then pretend currency has the same value across eras. It's dumb. It's like comparing values in different currencies as they are the same. Or saying Brazil is larger than USA by measuring Brazil's area in km and USA's in mi. |

ZeldaTPLink 07/17/19 3:07:56 PM #31 | Voted Spider-Verse, not sure if it's the best Spider-man story (I think FFH is my favorite in that sense), but the animation style is what really takes it to the top. It's one of the most eye-catching things I've ever watched, without having to rely on 3D gimmicky like others do. It makes even Pixar look like amateurs. I'm not a comic book fan though, so it doesn't resonate with me in that sense. The story is pretty fun though, better than most pre-MCU Spidey films at least. |
