I was literally so shocked that ~~the hamster guy~~ was a killer that I didn't even process them as an option and was stuck on the selection screen for like 3 minutes Yeahhh that was a heartbreaker. And honestly, it didn't even make sense. He had absolutely no motive and it seemed really out of character for him.

He had absolutely no motive and it seemed really out of character for him. He wasn't trying to succeed with getting away with it. He was sacrificing his + Nekomaru's life for the sake of everyone else getting away. In that sense the fact that he left it as an actual mystery to be solved is called in question but it still somewhat makes sense in that it calls into the themes of the game in that he trusted that the cast would solve the case.

Chapter 3's murder (~~The one with the Despair Disease~~) easily blows it out of the water for being worse. Dumb set up leading to a dumb mystery with asinine plot make it not just the worst case in 2 but arguably the entire series. By comparison Chapter 4 has its "eh" motivation as its only blemish and is otherwise extremely novel take on not just the formula of the series but the nature of the games themselves. While not the best even in its own game Chapter 4 is arguably one of the better cases in the entire trilogy. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

LostForest 02/18/22 4:12:54 PM #12:	Case 3 was very mixed for me. On one hand, my favorite character was killed (Ibuki) but on the other hand my most hated character was also killed (Hiyoko) lol. So it was kind of a monkey's paw situation for me. I was whatever about the nurse girl being motivated by the despair disease. I couldn't stand her. But having watched the prequel anime, I suspected she was gonna end up as a killer eventually anyway. That said, I was shocked she didn't come back later on. The way her execution scene abruptly finishes without actually showing her getting killed really made me think she wasnt actually dead. --- http://poorcouplesfoodguide.com Agender, curry fan, Top 10 lister, indie dev, gym hitter, musician, et al. <cite>LostForest posted [p:962763079] in So I got a...

ellis123 02/18/22 4:29:42 PM #13:	I mean, what you are saying is perfectly valid as to why you might personally like or not like a given case. It just doesn't change the fact that the case was pretty awful. Having the entire premise of the murders be based entirely on an OOC virus that just appears as soon as the chapter starts and goes away when it ends makes the whole thing extremely disjointed versus the entire series. The fact that you could tell that Mikan was going to be a murderer (which was more you getting spoiled than it being foreshadowed as D2 came out in 2012 while the anime was from 2013) really didn't change the fact that the entire reasoning behind everything was just dumb. Similarly the act of having your favorite + least favorite characters die is something that can hamper/heighten your enjoyment, but the reality is that the entire thing was plotted out extremely poorly and only served to make the entire case easy to poke holes into. Where the one mentioned by Doe was just dumb and contrived D2's Chapter 3 was just lazy. They needed characters to die, couldn't come up with anything that made sense at all, and then just deus ex machina'd their way through the whole affair. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

The Popo 02/18/22 4:36:32 PM #15:	LostForest posted... Also I still need to watch the Future Arc of DR3 now that I'm done with 2. I really dont think you need to watch it. For one thing, it isnt good at all. For another, they honestly dont reference it much, other than using the characters in an optional side board game, which isnt part of the main game of V3. I would say Ultra Despair Girls is more important than the future arc. I personally dont think it is as bad as most people make it out to be, but Im clearly in the minority. Instead of playing the game, you could always watch a recap video like the one I provided below (the video spoils the entire game). https://youtu.be/PSeAKckdOm4 --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The Popo posted [p:962763681] in So I got a...

LostForest 02/18/22 4:39:05 PM #16:	Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Case 3, but I just did not like Case 4 at all because of how much time they spent on establishing a "mystery" of the funhouse, when I assumed it was all just one big building the moment they showed there was more than one fruit house. Plus the fact Monokuma was starving them there seemed kind of contrived, since the basis of both killing games was always "We'll provide you with everything you need, but encourage you to kill one another, heh-heh."

In the Disease's case it was neither. Having a character bit by the "lol, I'm a murderer" bug is just dumb, and having two characters killed in ways that don't even make sense is not just not air-tight logic it's just mediocre.

That said the whole starving thing was kind of the "this is the encouragement to murder" thing as a point. While more extreme than the normal that was somewhat the point as it was trying to break up the group in a way that the other games didn't need to accomplish. It was sort of pointed out by having Chapter 3 be entirely based on the idea of the killing being out of the killer's hands as there was no good reason otherwise to get them to kill. In that way you can turn it back around into D2 just being kind of lazy and coming across like they figured out the setting and ending but not really having figured out the central "how it all happens." --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

Er, I hate to say it, but that's...really not the best way to experience DR2. The anime is technically a prequel, but it spoils pretty major elements of the game and is meant to be watched after beating it to fill in the gaps left by the game. It was produced a decent bit after DR2 was released and was intended for people who already played the game, since there are several direct DR2 spoilers in it. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

LostForest 02/18/22 5:44:08 PM #29:	TBH the only major twists I remembered from the prequel was that Hajime was a reserve student who got transformed, and how the class was the Remnants of Despair. Even then, Hajime being a reserve student wasn't that important to the plot, and the anime only briefly touched on them being the Remnants. It only vaguely hinted to them just kinda going out and fucking with people, but didn't really allude to the specifics. Hajime as Izuku being the one who installed Junko's AI, the entire world being VR, and the characters from DR1 showing up as agents from the Future Foundation were all the biggest reveals for me and I didn't see 'em coming no matter what I remembered from the prequel. Actually, FWIW Chiaki dying in the anime made her role in the game more interesting IMO cuz I was wondering for the entire story how they were gonna explain her coming back. If I had known she didn't really exist from playing the game, I probably would've seen her in the anime and been like "Oh, weird. So she's gonna end up dying, lol." --- http://poorcouplesfoodguide.com Agender, curry fan, Top 10 lister, indie dev, gym hitter, musician, et al. <cite>LostForest posted [p:962765285] in So I got a...
