Developer shows raw contempt towards its audience

Uh, no. That's the complete opposite interpretation you were supposed to take from her big reveal moment.

No more hugs, Mugi.

the game spells it out for you

w-wait not like that!

I accept your concession.

Reminder that Tsumugi was the hero all along.

mario lost levels

What's that? You want to find out the answers to all the mystery? FUCK YOU YOU'RE JUST LIKE THIS INTELLECTUAL RAPIST. WHY DO YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT THE ANSWERS? DID YOU EVEN CONSIDER ALL THE SUFFERING THAT THE VICTIMS EXPERIENCED? FUCKING GOATSBEING SO UNCARING! WITHOUT LOVE IT CANNOT BE SEEN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It doesn't work when it's as formulaic as it is. You could deduce who the killer was based on nothing other than Kodaka's inability to mix things up.
Not to mention, most of the killer lose because they actively go out of their way to get caught. Horribly written all around.

the Episode 7 duel was very kino but also very lame

huuuuhhh yeah here's some vague solutions I guess

also everyone is le accomplice rumao

almost a waste of time of a 200 hours VN

I'm just amazed that there exist people that consider Umineko a masterpiece and best piece of media ever.

Is that fucking Cosmo at center left?

i wanna be the guy

I wish they went with a twist that was a bit more down to earth, it was just too corny

Refuses to mix things up

makes fun of it

continues to do the same fucking thing over and over again after leaving the company

going bankrupt

Honestly I have no idea what this jap is remotely fucking thinking.

Only the first game was good

Will there ever be a DR game without her?

I forgot to add on there

Makes his own "Not" DR's

Doesn't put Junko in any of them

Flop

they really did need her in every game...

The first is the worst, and it's honestly not close. 4/10 at best.
Well, I guess it's kind of close considering V3's like a 5.5/10.

Even in Hundred Line, he still had Darumi

but is she really Junko or is she just a poor man's Junko?

malding over an 8 year old video game with the writing style of a Saw movie

no wonder they made fun of you

Shes the Genocider stand-in though.

There's always been a lot of cope that V3's ending was some stupid subversion and that actually the devs didn't just go on a tirade about how much they hate the people who play DR.
But ultimately the biggest cope killer is the fact that they've never made a new mainline DR game after that. Trying to say the message of "fuck you retards, i'm tired of Danganronpa with the same theming, case structure and reveals! I'm DONE!!!" isn't what they actually meant, when they actually then stopped making them is hilarious

Rain Code had a Junko like as both your mascot sidekick and Junko standin and it was still trash.

What the fuck, did you just SPOIL THE ENTIRE GAME?!

Kodaka's personal contempt for the fans that loved Danganronpa couldn't be more obvious with an annoying ass character like Darumi in The Hundred Line who won't shut the fuck up about muh killing game. Even after making V3 as a final fuck you to Dangan fans, he's still not over it. I hope he ends up on the streets or jumps from a building once his company goes under.

if you haven't played V3 yet and went into a V3 thread that's a skill issue.
It reminds me of Two and a half men of how the director couldn't stop seething about Mr Tiger Blood years after he was fired from the show, at some point you just have to let go of your hatred if you want to make a good product.

He's literally said he'd be fine to do a DR4 if he had a good idea for it.
He even made a tweet that said something like "what would you guys like to see if I made a Danganronpa 4?"

At least she's sex

He's literally said he'd be fine to do a DR4 if he had a good idea for it.

Kodaka does nothing but shitpost when he tweets. It's been 8 fucking years, he's clearly not "fine to do it".
It also doesn't change the fact that there is no DR4.

I think this is what the Japanese call "tatemae".
They say things they don't mean all the time.

Hmm I wonder why he would say this when he's about to be out of a company after his game he "bet everything on the line" with flopped? Such a head scratcher...

Wow you guys unironically make the tumblr DRfags look well adjusted

What were the threads like for the previous DR games here on Anon Babble in terms of commentary at the time?

What's crazy is people still support Kanako and want to read more of his work after he pulled this, he immediatly went to my writer blacklist after finishing DR3 even though I enjoyed most of the game.

Listen anon, you're delusional. It's been 8 years and the game objectively doesn't exist. So when I say "the game doesn't exist", i'm not lying to you, i'm telling you an objective fact

b-but he said he might do it!!!

means literally nothing until it's in development, and has no basis on the argument on the end of V3 as the final to the series of games

No shit it doesn't exist. He's made like 4 other games since then.
I'm just trying to give you some hope since you're unironically spewing picrel.

enjoyed most of the game

how? it got really fucking stupid from the get-go, i don't even know how i slogged through most of it

Universal praise for DR1 and 2, perhaps too much in hindsight, but you were hard pressed to find anyone that disliked them that were fans of this kind of stuff
V3 split the base here in 4ths, not to mention the 3 anime was a hilariously amusing shitshow that forshadowed how far gone the franchise was.
I want to note that I enjoyed V3 a lot overall but I can't call it a remotely good game due to the behind the scenes shit, you had people coping wih stuff like pic related in an attempt to defend V3.
I'd understand this if it wasn't for what he's basically made DR four more times since then, the dude clearly can't help himself but to make the same game over and over again while talking about how much he hates doing it.

Even if you view it that way, the audience at the end is still on the side of Saihara and Shirogane is shown as a desperate fanatic that dies with Danganronpa, while the outside world lets Saihara and crew live on.

I'm just trying to give you some hope since you're unironically spewing picrel.

You stupid nigger, i'm not saying that. I'm specifically saying that the series is over, and that people saying your pic related are delusional and so are the people that try to imply the message in the finale of V3 was some subversion.

In my mind the series is over, stop projecting anything else onto the conversation.

at some point you just have to let go of your hatred if you want to make a good product.

There is a visceral irony to saying that while also making V3 threads going on 8 years now.

Why were they so based

They fumbled the Hope Arc but it still would have been fun to see them do a DR2 anime at least

Hey I'm not the guy making V3 threads, God as my witness.
And besides there's different expectations from creator's and fans, fans aren't making products so their hatred can't hinder products that they aren't making.
the DR1 anime wasn't too special so I don't think 2 would've been much better desu.

I'd understand this if it wasn't for what he's basically made DR four more times since then

So is he making Danganronpa or is he not making Danganronpa make up your mind

I like V3.

Oh I thought this was Hundred Line.

Wtf QUENTIN TARANTINO???

Its more he's making DR in everything but name that I'm pointing out.
Its funny because of how negative the V3 message was, if he were to decide to make a hero looter shooter with western style graphics then i'd unironically have more respect for the guy for actually making something he hasn't before.
Case in point to my post above, these games this dude makes all look the same and have similar tones and feels to them, I can't blame you for getting confused, it's only natural.

You're a genuine retard if you think V3 was some big fan callout and not just the series poking fun at itself.
DR2 did the same shit. It made fun of the first game for having the big reveal be something as hacky as amnesia, as well as hiding the mastermind until the end of the game.
V3 is also making fun of Danganronpa and continuing on its various ideas.

The meta

V3 directly calls out DR tropes to make fun of itself for going on this long. Stuff like the normalfag named Makoto, Junko's grand return revealed at the end of Chapter 5 (and later Shirogane's talks of Junko), Kaede's twin sister, and the narrative literally bending over backwards to justify the killings.
Like, the big joke of V3 is that the mastermind has to bait almost every murder to maintain franchise consistency. Shirogane kills Rantaro directly after baiting him into position, Tojo has to be deluded into making a move and gaining a surprising backstory befitting Chapter 2, the double murder literally happens because the killer couldn't control himself, Gokuhara is persuaded into killing AND gets an Alter Ego. It's all part of the joke.

The Outside World

In DR1, the world outside of high school is destroyed because that's reflective of the fears of those leaving high school.
In DR2, its the cast's bodies and minds that are destroyed because they are the types who don't fit in with high school.
In DRV3, the outside world itself is a confusing mess. It might be apocalyptic, it might be people who want to see them kill each other, or it might truly just be the normal outside world they thought to be true. The idea is that the characters take what they learned from fiction and carry it with them into their lives as they leave high school (DR2 even played with this, where the most significant person to Hinata is not a real person).

Shit on the IP people like for no reason

Make games similar to it instead that nobody buys

Go bankrupt

This feels like an easily avoidable outcome

V3 directly calls out DR tropes to make fun of itself for going on this long

Who asked them to repeat the same structure for 2 games though. Who asked them to do it again for V3?
Is there a mysterious triad out there somewhere that was threatening Kodaka when he was writing 2 and didn't include a double murder?

Who asked them to repeat the same structure for 2 games though. Who asked them to do it again for V3?

Implicitly that is being asked for when there is demand for a sequel to a game with a fairly rigid structure. That's why Danganronpa/Zero and Danganronpa 3 exist in the forms that they do as well.

TLoU2 is definitely one of them

So your admitting that V3 has a "writer hates their audience for feeling forced by them to make the same slop over and over again" tone to it, like some of us have said in this thread?
I think what's getting us into a conflict here is that I'm of the belief that Kodaka never had to repeat himself so often if he chose to do so, while you seem to think he has little creative control so he had to bow down to fan expectations. Honestly there's a real solid chance your right about the dude having no spine because he's a Jap and I might be expecting too much about of a nation of soft men.

Nah that's not it.
He chose to make the sequels, and he also chose to make fun of himself. It's a bit of Kodaka making fun of his adherence to a lot of DR tropes (like how DR1, 2, 3, and V3 all decrease in final survivors by one (Kirigiri in 3 is technically not a survivor), a bit of going "Show's over, bye!".
He doesn't hate his audience. If he did, he wouldn't have made V3 the most content dense game in the franchise complete with a side mode involving the vast majority of mainline characters. The entire final trial is a deluge of fanservice as well.

Really, I'm disappointed he didn't actually lash out, because fags like you have been getting mad and making shit threads like this for nearly a decade. I bet you HAVE been making these threads since 2017.

How bad are Danganronpa 1, 2, UDG and V3's english localizations? Are they as bad as Hundred Line's?

You're under 18.

Honestly I consider V3 not understanding a kinnikuman reference in its localization far worse than anything i've seen in the other games.

kek even though V3 was all over the place, it still had a lot funny ass moments

the fans of the first game's protagonist get nowhere, killing random mafia people and some girl's friends, getting their fame denied after their final attack

people are already re-enacting the events of the original game in cheap offshoots in the game's universe

the guy who killed your gf in the original game has a more tragic story than the first game's protag

mooks are people too, forced to kill one because killing is cool

several levels for a character who does not kill anyone

your friend in the first game gets annihilated in a nuclear strike two years before the first game starts

everyone dies

Feels like it shouldn't work at all with how many people shat themselves with the "you didn't REALLY get the first game" premise, but it does due to everyone being written neatly enough to ride it out.

Awful

make danganronpa

make danganronpa 2

make danganronpa ultra despair girls

make danganronpa 3

make danganronpa v3 (STOP ASKING ME TO MAKE DANGANRONPA!!)

make danganronpa in disguise (world's end club)

make danganronpa in disguise (rain code)

make danganronpa in disguise (hundred line)

every mystery game is danganronpa

Neat

Give the worst ending possible and make fun of your fans

End it on a cliffhanger

Go into interviews "no haha those people in the game didnt represent the fans of my games that give me money"

"Why arent people buying my (not dangaronpa ;) ;) ) game"

Correct me if I'm wrong but this scene is contradictive
They show real people as if talking about the real real world, but it's later revealed that all the characters are "real" people from a "real" world within the game
so there shouldn't be any actual people in there, just anime characters
