Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate Gaku since I began this game. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for Gaku at this micro-instant.

Is it because he's poor?

and a thief. oozaki was right to discriminate

Because he is an idiot who in one timeline Caused a zombie apocalypse

blasted HGH

Yeah that checks out actually

Just found out that the Comedy route happens because SF Takumi flings himself into the undying flames like a fucking retard and gets incinerated

Okay now that's funny and kinda morbid

I don't mind Gaku when things are going fine. When things start going bad though, he's almost always the first idiot to turn on Takumi. I was actually genuinely surprised when he was one of the few that stayed with Takumi in the Coming of Age route since it felt really out of character.

Yugamu is worse though
Gaku has his moments

Yugamu is a huge bro in the Killing Game route though

Gaku was the only one left at 1hp and killed Eito in my first run from 20hp. He's my boy.

It's funny how I thought he was a decent guy in the first route but most other routes make me hate his ass. Especially slasher zombie finding out he has some bullshit in the box of blessings route just makes it worse fuck this fuckhead get away from Tsubasa

This balances out from me having to humiliate myself with him for one of the mandatory endings to unlock the locks. Will forever hold that against him

Finally finished SF bros, anyone else? And to be specific I won the coin toss and got all 17 out without destroying the planet. I really don't want to go back and see failed SF routes. I cried quite a bit seeing everyone make it out happy. Hopefully they can just send Eva back to be with her daughter afterwards

Comedy route? Why yes it is peak, how could you tell?

You should at the very least go back and do the Serial Killer branch on the SF route since it shows the back story behind the Mystery route ending

God damn the killing game route was completely different from what I expected. I expected some joke route with darumi constantly spazzing out, but it was actually a really interesting route with a lot of nice moments.

What was the deal with the hole in Eva's cage? Who is the old woman in the white coat? What was up with the other pair of Takumi and Hiruko when they were looking for Omega?

Yugamu has the best route in killing game, Gaku just throws good parties but he always sucks when it matters. Ima is worse anyways

Killing route feels like a completely different game, it's pretty much the best written route aside from like 2nd scenario

i fuckign hate this guy,motherfucker is oks with everyone dying just ebcause he could not buy a console lmao

Coming of Age and Slasher Route spoilers
so you're telling me MC can suicide bomb with half his body and still be revived but people cut for like 5 minutes are unrevivable????

I tried gifting him a next gen console cause I thought as a poor kid he would appreciate it but his response was just "Oh, that's cool I guess. I might sell it for some money later"

cringe.jpg - 3840x2160, 796.22K

Made for consensual impregnation

Made for hand holding nakadashi sex.

spoiler]Slasher routes don't make sense to me mainly because the revive o matic could have at least saved one or two people. It conveniently just always just so happens to be too late? Its a good game though still[/spoiler]

Both true

dude just turn your brain off

Ah fuck I hit delete by mistake sorry

conversely there wouldn't be a reason to go on a murder spree if they weren't confident they'd stay dead

I was seething so bad when went it started up after darumi died cause it was so obvious it was their fault and if Gaku just stopped being a pussy and fessed up it would have prevented so many deaths. hell that decision was so bad it actually transcended timelines into the slasher route where takumi got possessed

It's like an amalgamation of jap mascot designntropes

no gonna lie,if they have 3 models alredy they could have done talking segments like virtue last reward

It's established that they can't be revived if they lose too much blood, so really bad injuries can be insta-kills. I guess getting mauled by a power saw is enough. I can't remember since its been awhile since I read the Slasher routes but I think the ones that were killed with a knife were also found like hours later usually.

a good chunk of the game is actively doing danganronpa nostalgia baiting, it's why everybody is based on someone from dangan 1

They were. That makes more sense actually thanks for explaining

only girl interested in romancing

cant

it's why everybody is based on someone from dangan 1

Who's Darumi?

It's honestly weird because she does have a crush on Takumi in some routes.

The word “sex” immediately comes to mind whenever she’s onscreen.

I love that Kyoshika does a fucking ninja pose during the transformation scene.

She wants to be Naruto so bad

mikan 2

She's a legitimate sweet woman under all the brain washing. It's just that you don't get to see too much of that side.

She's TWELVE

Anon Babble route where

out of 10!

That's the epilogue of ending 01. We just don't get to see it.

Does Gaku bang her like she wanted?

so she raises the baby?
fucking cuck ending...

also that one route where she becomes a teacher

dawg what the fuck is going on

Baby is dead in that ending. Last thing Takumi does is "kill" him. She finds a group of Futuran kids in that ending and will likely stick with them.

ZAMN

Nozomi oneesan giving shota Takumi a bath.

wtf so how can Takumi romance Kurara?!?

I'm the only one here who likes Nozomi

ok that mission with the 3 bosses on each side was hard and the final boss spawing with the news boys...like why?

shut up Takumi

i kinda like her
but i like karua more
yes yes i know karua probably doesn't exist i'm not stupid

She's fine.
My impression of her went up when she capped Sirei and was completely fine with telling humanity to go fuck themselves despite being a human.

I like her. She’s the normal, cute girl of the wacky Danganronpa cast. I guess Tsubasa also counts, but she’s got the puking thing.

Yugami being so short feels weird, I always had the feeling that he was quite tall.

why does nozomi bend down to talk to takumi if takumi is taller

Mating call

Probably

You feel pretty bad for the kids by the end of Second Scenario and then they all just get to fucking die. It's just cruel.

Is there any substance to the Serial Battles route? If not I'm probably just going to skip it for now.

if you already reached the s.f. route then the reveal there won't surprise you

skip it

Yeah I already finished it. Thanks, won't waste my time then.

People skipping routes and not getting all 100 endings

QUITTERS

Expedition 33 is calling me

Box of blessings is just really bad

Wouldn't the handle end up absorbing a bunch of her scent even if she washed it?

You can safely skip the routes written by literal whos

file.png - 880x758, 52.42K

Somehow she became my favourite character, I guess her endings were petty hot.

I fucking hate Gaku. If the author's intention is to make me hate someone more than the evil big bad, they succeeded.

i feel like being brainwashed is as good as being dead so her existence is quite pathetic especially in the s.f. route

Yeah even takemaru has his moments even though he was a giant asshole in KG route
Gaku is just a irredeemable scum in every route
Very quick to blame takumi if anything goes wrong

Made for domination loss.

Mystery Route is Uchikoshi

Good route unironically, probably the best

Molesting Gaku while he's being vulnerable

Imagine wanting Gaku over Takamaru
You sicken me

im in day 23 and this a big ass prologue,goddanm

I've been watching Japanese and English playthroughs and comparing the japanese version to the english localization

The "triple bossy deluxe animal style" line in japanese was おう!こっからが本番だぁ!
気合いで食いまくってやんよ! which is "Alright! This is where it really starts! I'm gonna chow down with all I've got!" in japanese.

The line about "baloney poney" (weird slang for penis) was about testicles in the japanese version

Takumi pulling a cute and harmless prank on Hiruko led to everyone getting wiped on the Tails branch of the SF route

Brutal

time rewind boss

clear 3 enemies then just stab him 3 times with Takumi both waves

Is all difficulty just gone once you max out Takumis stab and make a bunch of potions?

pace yourself man the prologue is itself a full self-contained game

That's not true. We're friends

gaku.png - 1919x878, 991.73K

Lol, we had the same idea

unskippable morning/evening announcements

unskippable exploration

"skip cutscene" takes 5 seconds

little to no fast forwarding through filler days

I want to see all the endings regardless if they're filler writing. Having to deal with all that bullshit on top of them though may just break me.

don't worry tomorrow I will explain things

dies

im the other guy that knows things I will explain things

explodes

other guy again coming back for that explanation

explodes again

pace yourself man you can play this game for the next year

You really have to wonder if that padding is even necessary because if they took all the padding out then you are still likely left with a game that is going to take at least 60 hours to fully clear. The padding just makes it 80 to 100 instead.

>unskippable morning/evening announcements

This is integral to the plot

Man. I sure am concerned about this messed up situation going on

There isn't anything I can do about it now

FREE TIME

Nah, I thought I would hate the certified genuine homo but turns out Gaku is worse

did anyone else give Shouma a noose as a gift?
i thought he'd like it. like, "here, to kill yourself with"
but he didn't

What do you mean
there are some days where takumi slept through 20 days without hearing the garbage announcements

it's not that it'll take a long time to get through, it's more that every play session is gonna be me wading through a lot stuff that doesn't need to be there.

it really isn't! That's the thing, you could just remove all of this stuff and the game would 100% be better for it!

If you wait maybe a week or two someone will probably mod out the announcements
AND the free times

Shouma isn't suicidal, he just hates conflict so much that he'd prefer dying

I really wonder why they made skip cutscene a hold instead of just a double press. It's not really a big deal but still would have been better.

I don't get why people get so hung up on those things.
It takes 1 second to click through an announcement, and 2 seconds to sleep in Takumi's bed through a free time.
Like I get it's kind of annoying, but they only waste as much time as you let them.

i'm getting tired of how much the game likes to drag information

Thank GOD shit like BP, materials, upgrades stays in-between routes.
I think I'd kill myself if I had to respec everyone between 20 different routes a la Three Houses.

maybe gaku exists because kodaka took that whole thing personally about intending for everyone to hate miu but everyone loving her, so he wanted to prove to himself he could write a shitty character everyone would hate

Would YOU kick the attacker or dodge the attack?

Healing Shower is just too good. You get Voltage like crazy later on, so it’s just a free reset + heal.

To be fair all all Kodaka has to do to make an unlikable character likeable is switch their gender.
Everyone here would probably fucking HATE a male version of Mikan or Miu.
And realistically if they gave Gaku some tiddies everyone would love it.

There is a correct answer

it stacks up with other bullshits

Idk, I was hating the fuck out of Hiruko early in main route and then Oosozuki somehow took it to the next level, until she stopped being as much of a raging cunt.

Yes

I get what you mean believe me. But I guess I just don't find the announcements troublesome enough to be modded out or anything like other people are saying lol.

male version of Mikan

That’s basically Shouma. They even gave him Komatsuzaki’s obligatory fat little gremlin creature design for the game to make him extra unlikable.

Kek I miss Ryoma. Possibly the most forgettable dangan character ever made.

The ending sucks though

DING DING BING BONG
SOUIN- YA- YABAN- *fwosh*

The unskippable "DING DONG BING BONG"+ the day number popping up add several seconds on top + the camera panning down from the monitor + the "free time" popup all add up. Even if you do all the skippable stuff the fastest you possibly can it's still a substantial amount of time when you have to repeat it over and over again and again across many routes. And it's not even the amount of time, it's the fact you have to perform repetitive actions over and over just to get to new story content which you should have the option to just skip to.

Gaku is more similar to Mikan with his attention whoring. He even admits in his bonding events that he doesn't really hate his life and just complains so someone can hear him

Anon I know what you are.
I know what you both have been doing.

I’m a freak that loves everything about Danganronpa, so the morning announcement DING DONG BING BONG doesn’t phase me even after 70 hours. In general I don’t really feel any fatigue from the game or its structure. I’ve replayed the DR games multiple times, especially 1, so this is just an endless Danganronpa. I’m taking my time too. I’ve only got 2 endings, and am working on the true path right now. I’m about halfway through that one.
I know how some people loathe DR, so it’s funny to think that this game would be a fucking nightmare for them. I had trouble finishing Chaos;Child, which took 80 hours. But I’m surprised I’ve put nearly as much time into this.

Kek you're literally me. I feel the same way, I basically get to play a new Danganronpa game for weeks. Realistically maybe a couple months.
Pacing myself will definitely be the biggest thing.

I feel somewhat neutral on it right now but I'm only Day 62 and not a veteran of these games (started DR1 a week ago, half through it). I am a little worried that the repetition will start to get on my nerves. Then again, I put up with just as much tedious bullshit in my main series Fire Emblem in the latest game's shitty hub, so who knows.

Just got to day 100 in the original route. I feel bad for sirei and etc knowing that he wasnt planning on just sacrificing all of us. It also makes me find most of the characters more obnoxious for how they were constantly fucking everything up, but I guess its understandable. Are Sirei and Nigou more present in other routes?

Are Sirei and Nigou more present in other routes?

Yes, depending on the route.

My advice honestly I to play as much as you want and then take a break. Maybe after getting an ending go and switch to DR (or whatever you want) and come back. This game is hundreds of hours and each DR game is only like 30.

Are Sirei and Nigou more present in other routes?

Some of them

ok,im getting very gay vibes Eito,how wrong i am?

oh what the fuck dude I go back to the past and they leave me on that crazy cliffhanger?

Genocide Jack, I guess.

Don't worry you will start to hate sirei in the truth ending route again.

how wrong do you want to be? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I would say a combination of her and Hifumi. But even then not exact. She's more depressed/comedic than the femcel and more violent than the fat weeb.

Think he’s a subversion of Monokuma and that he’s actually good

lol nope. Literally Monokuma.

Subverting the subversion. Bravo Kodaka.

Don't care, his music is the best and that's what really matters

To be honest that's like the main reason I didn't want to go back I had a sinking feeling the whole time doing SF after seeing the mystery ending because I assumed the best possible outcome for SF would still only lead to half the cast not including the time traveling Takumi and Hiruko would make it. I really don't want to see Takumi letting Hiruko down after managing to make her happy. Wish she was less of a turbo bitch even in her best ending though lol fuck that servant shit really Takumi can only get a kiss when he's murdered everyone on accident

Headpat fetish into ahegao

Kodaka might have gone a bit too far this time.
This feels more retarded than anything I've seen happen in Danganronpa and Rain Code desu.

Sirei is kind of an asshole, but he doesn't seem absolutely horrible in the reset ending.

Bros, Retsnom is like, a painfully slow train wreck. There's no happy ending here.

everything is fucked and everyone is despairing

Nozomi is dying again

FREE TIME

They should have just added some gay little minigames to the freetime options and I think it would get more people on board. Kinda like Yakuza 0. Have some goofy darts minigame or a little rhythm game or something.

Then, we went back to our rooms.

Should I Spare or Kill Eito? What branches does this lead to?

He's such a softhearted guy tho

you should do what you feel is right
but if you really have to ask spare him, all of the kill routes are bad/unserious/anticlimactic

IT’S YOUR FUTURE

All of the above

Oh thank god more Darumi bros. It's one of my favorite routes but yeah the conclusion is not happy even when it's "happy" for her cause I don't believe it really is her in the join her route despite what the setting yourself on fire option says

Think about what Hiruko stated at like the very start of the game.

i heard about a Cult of Takumi route and one where he and Tsubasa end up together and she's my favorite girl. Are these on the kill route?

I was going to spare him, and then ghost boy was like "Erm... ahkshually he didn't technically do anything yet!" and I changed my mind. Got a pretty cool route out of it though.

But Gaku is best boy.

I'm not reading your spoiler cause I'm only on day 75 of one route but man this is just a slow motion tragedy, even if shit somehow works (it won't), Darumi is so fucked

Tsubasa becomes the main heroine/love interest in the Killing game route which is located on the kill Eito side of the map, but Tsubasa also has a route in the romance route which is on the spare Eito side. Cult of Takumi is also on the spare Eito side.

Darumi is Kodaka's apology to Danganronpa fans. He does love you guys, as cringe and insufferable as you are to him

GET HIM

cat.gif - 498x468, 1.76M

Ah good, well I will say then I'm pissed that there's so much free time during it where I feel like Takumi should be spending it with her while she's in pain. She only talks to him for real for a short amount of time before something obviously goes wrong because she starts acting like her fake self again

Correction; Gaku is best boy when it comes to making him your mindbroken fucksleeve.

do you want to reach the story locked true true ending of the game? Do the kill eito routes first
Do you just want to play a couple of feel good routes and the 2nd scenario? choose spare eito

What's with Kodaka and the duck potty

why is Eito so fucking op,my man ahs been hard carrying me so far

Then why does she die in most routes?

Where are people getting the raw sprite assets from? Is there a folder set?

I really missed Danganronpa, that "fuck off danganautist" must have roped or something

8 hours

only in day 29

uh-oh

probably because he has JUDGE, JURY, and EXECUTIONER

images.jpg - 300x168, 9.91K

His theme gets me so hype to strategize. In 2nd scenario when he fuckin shows up with the idol boss with his theme fucking blaring it was the hypest I'd ever felt doing a fight since his own boss fight. It's just so good to fight to.

Killing game is one of the best routes in the game though

I will show you my elite samurai skill

NIN NIN

Takumi I'd really like to hear about that childhood friend of yours

Okay I'll be sure to tell you!

FREE TIME

Well not much was accomplished today, we need to get ready for day 100 and karua is waiting for me! Ganbatte!

because she wants to die and has hemoanima, which can change reality

there's a google drive link posted around
i'm not clicking on it because sprites will spoil things for sure

He deserves Kurara

And Kurara deserves infinitely better than him.

You will be forced to do both anyway, the game is gay like that

kirai kirai kirai kirai kirai

daisuki

wtf eito

Uhh, how am I supposed you remember that? What did she say?

Gaku gets a pass because he's funny. Imagine if he was a miserable insufferable piece of shit and you couldn't laugh at him as well.

Even disregarding that, think of how everyone else is going to react if you claim to be from the future and killed someone in cold blood because "trust me guys, he's gonna be evil"

she said that everyone has to survive for a victory

why should i take that as "how to win the game" versus a thing that she personally wants to do

his 50.000 yen wish was funny as fuck

at that time you aren't expected to think that. you probably aren't expected to think that on the choice either, but if you do remember it, it's a neat bit.

been playing for 10 hours and so far translation has been ok, there are some questionable decision, like translating some Japanese idioms that don’t match very much, but so far nothing that make my eyes bleed.

He WAS gonna kill sirei, and in all routes admits that he was gonna doom humanity. Takumi is justified by all means, Eito does something bad in most routes he's left alive and only Sirei says "I told you so"

But that's the flaw in judging a character based on what they could do. The "invaders" DO intend to kill you and your friends on most routes, but you discover they're not so different than you. Many routes have members of the SDU not hesitate to kill each other. How far do you think it would really take to push Ima down the Eito route if something happened to Kaku?

Huh? But the people that don't know any Japanese and didn't play the game told me it's terrible.

sure guys I'll let you know what's going on, it'll have to be one-on-one conversations though ;^)

Just bee yourself.
Unless the characters start acting even sillier than normal and all plot ceases, in which case you should jump timelines immediately.

I hate how for saying he has an utter disdain for humanity, couldn't so much as stand to breathe in the same room as us and for revealing he sees everyone as ugly malformed figures (akin to Fujimori in saya no uta), he behaves like a model citizen even while being locked with no books or anything to do for multiple days. This is far beyond what I'd call shit character writing but I've learned to accept it.

You're going to have to do both choices eventually anyway, just do whatever you feel like doing right now. You can use the flowchart to move around whenever you want so you're never committing to anything.

Poor people confirmed for evil subhumans yes.

I mean he says he's always done his best to avoid humans and stuff. I'd bet he'd prefer nothing to do as long as it means he doesn't have to see everyone much.

invaders are horrifying nightmare creatures

suddenly invader idol

ok

funniest shit because it wasn't written by neither of the writers you'd expect to write it

He has to see everyone everyday and be treated like an animal in a zoo thoughbeever. Also has to ask people for favors like handing him food or whatever. This is just not something a sociopath like him could do.

I guess I just find it more believable that someone like him was able to keep his cool and talk, help, interact with everyone for 100 days in the first place.

you will never fuck a big lady

more unbelievable*
myb

fully clear

80-100

nigga what

They're bumbling plush toys led by eldritch nightmare commanders. Their whole aesthetic is confused.

you will never have a cube of a former big lady sitting on your desk

why live

Yes I agree, the character itself is an impossibility

I was so disappointed when she didn't actually get cubed.

He wasn't keeping it together. He murdered multiple people, and sabotaged the team trying to get everyone killed multiple times. The nanosecond he feels he can get away with outright just overpowering everyone else he immediately goes for it.
The fact that his first kill (if you count AI) actually was doing everyone a favor is entirely on accident.

Eito is actually amazing you just need to contextualize his personality and behavior a little more. It's taken to the extreme because of certain circumstance. There's sincerity to him not wanting to participate early on in the main route and being suspicious of Sirei.

Do the killing game route. It will make more sense.

several routes explain absorbing someone's hemoanima gives you some of their personality traits

this isn't consequential if you for example used Takumi to absorb all the commanders

Ludonarrative dissonance usually doesn't bother me, but come on.

it should've been already obvious from their voices during certain battles

I just started hundred line
I agree wholeheartedly

Be careful. The first large portion of this game is pretty widely not spoiler tagged now lol.

Im already leaving
Just had to drop by since I agreed with OP too much

The line about "baloney poney" (weird slang for penis) was about testicles in the japanese version

Sounds like that one hurt you enough to point it out.

No way, he admits he even killed his parents at a young age and lives alone for most his life, meaning he literally cannot stand to interact with other people. He admits to it all to everyone without any attempt to hide it. There's literally no way he can go back to putting a facade after revealing he finds everyone repulsive and beneath him.

Yes

Feeling like a worthless piece of trash doesn't necessarily imply suicidal thoughts or feelings broski.

I wish Kurara had a bully who loved and wanted to torment and tease her as much as that one ESL guy did Saionji did back in the days of old.

One of the announcements is different and it wouldn't hit like it does if you could skip all the morning announcements desu.

Galu is just Souda again but without a skill to be useful in the plot.

Like the other anon said Eito was literally not keeping it together. Even when he reveals his whole master plan he mentions that it was hard and he would get sick as fuck all the time. Takumi pointed out one of Eito's quirks and asked them if that's why he was doing it and Eito confirms it.

he behaves like a model citizen even while being locked with no books or anything to do for multiple days

Eito literally does not "behave like a model citizen." In multiple routes where he's captured, he tries to plant seeds get them to turn on each other. He's also always looking for opportunities to escape and does it in multiple routes. Also I'm pretty sure they do give him shit to do because in one route Shouma does mention giving Eito books to read and it ties into the plot, they just don't mention it because there's no point if it isn't relevant.
You guys either need to keep playing more or pay more attention.

The game wants you to redeem Eito. He's not that bad, actually.

Yeah, it's a little silly. I think it was just solely done to explain how Takumi could be detached during the Invader Hunt. Also probably as a red herring to make you think Eito is body jacking him in the Killing Game/Mystery route instead of the whole G'ie stuff

Off to the gay baby jail with you.

are we sure Kyoshika isn't taller?

He's that bad really, I don't think he can be forgiven after the multiple Eitos route

I want to sex this retard samurai so much it's unreal

no spoiler but does the game really have 100 endings and none of them are joke endings like in nier automata? or is it like fallout 3/nv ending slides variation? i find it really hard to believe

Gakubros... this is not fair

So there's about 20 main fully written routes, some are more serious than others. Each one usually has a handful of bad ends that can vary in length.

are players expected to collect these endings like in zero escape games? or do we have to replay the whole game to see new endings?

Nah it's all built into one save with a handy flowchart to jump between decision points and stuff.

Explain to me the hiruko persuasion dialogue. That thing made no sense. Why am I lying to her about she having told me what she liked before? And why does she fall for it?

do you mind spoilin' obvious spoilers

Why am I lying to her about she having told me what she liked before?

You're not lying. There's a reason that route is gated pretty heavily behind other route endings.

How is it a spoiler if I don't know what I am spoiling

flowchart

good shit
thanks for the info

It's like Zero escape, with decisions creating routes, and you can jump back to the decision.

I guess they should have put the story lock before that then

I just noticed that the clock in the top right corner is always moving and now you are too

Some of the locks are a little too late or a little too early, I agree.

am i missing something if i don't like any of these characters, i loved alll 3 DRs i even liked DG

i ended up liking them all at the end of the 100 days. They are walking/living/breathing tropes though.

They really grew on me as I played the prologue and got through each's arc.

They are walking/living/breathing tropes though.

this describes every kodaka character but something about the tedium is killing my interest in ever hanging out with them or giving a fuck that one is too pussy to fight. and then the battles take forever. i have to do this 100 times?

if you don't like srpgs in general then you could use some of the exploits like giving people the 1 hp potion and using the low hp sacrifice to speed them up

i have to do this 100 times

I guess, if you want all the 100 endings?

are they like nier endings where most of them are bullshit?

game

Why couldn't we have Karua and not Nozomi
Give me my childhood friend

Yeah but 10x longer.

Hey. Do me a favor and make these decisions in order to see Darumi's route, I was annoyed as fuck by her the 1st route and in the others I did before her own route. I think it helps and makes you see her differently. The choices are Spare Eito, tell people you're from the future, save Last Defense Academy. This of course causes everyone besides Nozomi from 2nd to LDA to die but that's the way you get Takumi and Darumi to hang out because everyone hates him besides her. She permadies if you save 2nd and ends up telling you she's happy to be alive. Pic is her talking to him now that everyone hates him

i think there are 21 finished endings while the rest are bad ends

I can do that but I don't have any hate towards her. Did you reply t othe correct person?

Some of them are alternate endings to same route. Also branches of slasher and comedy are pretty different routes despite having the same name.

If you managed to get through the game not annoyed from her 1 trick killing game line nonsense then hats off to you man. Feel like most people I've seen on threads including me were annoyed as hell by her until they did her route so that's why i spread the good word of her route so people can appreciate her more afterwards on other routes with the recontextualization.

Killing Game route also has a bit of characterization on her.

So stupid that her romance route is tied to an choice Takumi would never take instead of the Killing Game route where Tsubasa gets a second romance route

A bit yeah, but it also made me SO fucking mad at her because of the shit with Tsubasa I was close to hating the character. Doing her route after did abate my hate thankfully, kinda wish I did it first

Being mad at Darumi for getting kissed

Not mad at Tsubasa for kissing her

I can be pissed at both! Darumi's attitude after is annoying as fuck but yes also what the fuck Tsubasa you couldn't just give her a heartfelt hug???????? You are easy like you thought!

at least getting other endings is faster once you've gotten one. being able to skip all the battles you've already done cuts down a lot of fat

i wish the game would make some effort to communicate what your getting yourself into when you pick something. i wouldve never gotten myself into 50 hours of parallel universe autism and went straight to god complex evil woman sex

What's with retarded frog obsession Takumi randomly develops in Kill Eito routes?

Don't ask, just do the slasher routes and you'll get your answers

When people say they want to eat frog in this game what they really mean is they're giga horny right now and they want to eat semen

you stopped me seconds before killing someone

therefore I have done literally nothing wrong

Come on anon, if you go back and stop ted bundy from killing his first victim, then you clearly can't kill him! He's innocent!

i get that deciding how lives and dies is le bad but hes active danger in so many routes, games keeps pushing him into you and still insist everyone must live
made me hate him so much

i think it's fucked how okay everyone is with brainwashing in this game.

This game is so good, but I avoid talking about or reading threads because of spoilers. I haven't finished it yet. I am leaving this thread, just wanted to say how much I liked the game.

If you go back, everyone from Second-to-Last dies and everyone hates Takumi. Takumi really can't catch a break.

yes this is a darumi-positive and moko-negative board

Is Kurara going to introduce Kyoshika as swordfucker in every route?

I one-turned most battles with him after I figured out how ridiculously strong he is.

I did, still don't get it

flame boy shows up to cry about how i'm bad for killing my enemy that wants to kill everyone

What a big fucking baby

I still have to finish the demo but isn't this game too lenient with the ranks? i lost 2 units and got the generator to half HP and still got an S rank

So what happens if you fail those time-limited mandatory explorations, where you need to get 3 items for someone? Not sure if anyone actually bothered to fail those.

The game is just too easy in general. I wish there was a hard mode that maybe limited how much starting AP you have, because you can easily steamroll every battle in one turn, when you take advantage of everything the game gives you.
Attack potions and jump pads are especially overpowered and taking advantage of suicide attacks every wave is too easy.

he's a retard

Anon, you are MEANT to kill your units if you're powergaming. You literally get score, death attacks and +100 voltage for whatever you need.
I think it's only defense that tanks rank, maybe turn passage.

What a big fucking baby

To be fair...He quite literally is one

Who is the most useless battle member and why is it Kurara?

Shouma is a good contender as his counters and taunts are just not worth the effort, but his desperation move salvages him at least. Kako also comes close due to the self debuff and inability to walk without spring traps or lose out a lot of damage.

Moko because anything she can do someone else can do better
Kurara can be help for someone who sucks ass at the game

I smile every time Kurara suddenly yells at Kyoshika to do math

I find Kuraras turrets pretty useful

Unfortunately thinking Kako is bad is an immediately pleb filter. She is often the strongest character available by far thanks to how atk potions undo the damage debuff. Spring trap her in front of a boss, use a potion after she shoots, and you one-round every single boss in the game from a safe distance.

I don't think there's anything quite as satisfying in the battle system as using desperation potions on everyone, killing them off one by one and racking up AP, powering up Takumi to an absurd degree, hitting the boss to lowish HP and then using his 25+ atk power desperation move to finish the battle.

Needing to be constantly fed consumables to do damage is what makes her bad. Other characters can do the same if not more damage without needing to be constantly fed.
They're not bad, but rely on taking multiple turns which automatically makes them worse than most other options available.

Soloing the entire map with tsubasa comes pretty close.

Other characters can do the same if not more damage without needing to be constantly fed.

It's very very tough for them to do more damage than Kako (I mean, she just does extremely high base damage, and gets the same amount of buffs as everyone else, so who do you even think can do more? MC obviously with the passive, and a charged Hiruko/Moko, but that's only a few and already harder.), and being fed hardly matters when the fight is over after you've dumped your existing potions.

You could at best put her in mid-upper tier if the potion use is that of a downer for you, but bottom tier is delusional.

I remember when I got to the fog of war map and the game instructed me to use the twins to strategically chip away at the fog machine.
And then I found out you can still use the spring trap, catapulted Eito next to the invader and instantly ended the phase.

Yes, her single target damage (when being fed items) is great, but that's really all she has going for her. as I said before other character got that too, what she really lacks is proper aoe (unless you count her self stun move, which has its obvious downsides). That fact alone makes her worse than most of the cast.

It seems kind of silly to consider an extremely powerful boss killer lowly because she's bad at things other than killing bosses. There's basically no maps in the game kako will be alone on a field; you never want or need her to be clearing mobs with aoe.

why would you use any other party member to kill bosses? just abuse voltage and use takumi or kyoshika (if you're so pussy of the fucking counter attacks) to farm voltage.

this
other shmuck only exists for exploding themselves for feeding takumi voltage

Is there a website where one can find the portraits in this game yet?

Shouma loves being near trash because he identifies as trash

he spent a week collecting Eva's shit

Oh no

It was weird seeing tomato go full tsundere after being thanked once

(CAW)
YOU TOLD ME THAT WE SHOULD GO OUR SEPERATE WAYS

She's kinda shit, anon. Like sure, for that single first attack, she's epic. But I almost couldn't believe how many disadvantages they stacked onto her. I think the fear is that if she didn't self-debuff, you'd just nuke all the AP piñatas with huge coverage for free. But Tsubasa ends up doing that after buffs!
Anyway, characters with a "no movement" gimmick are always severely hurt in these types of games. It's the same reason Tsubasa is so good - movement is king.
And Kako can't move and do good damage, and then her attacks debuff the shit out of her, so she's not even very good at single target nuking and is kinda just fundamentally shit. Not useless, but largely not good.
You want to build up action economy in this game and Kako does not contribute to it AT ALL. She's just unga bunga for a single hit.

Does the other song only play on the "true" endings? I like that one more.

Spoiler your heckin' vibin' banter you little underage cumdumpster shitstains.

what movies would you watch with Kurara?

I don't know if I should finish Comedy before getting to the main routes unga bunga. I've finished almost every side route outside the main branch and while I do want to know what the heck is going on, I'm at a weird state where I can just grind shit out and I know I'll be kinda blopped out of doing it later. How long is it to do everything? I've only done one Meat path and that was straight awful lol

kick the attacker or dodge the attack?

Why is Takemaru so high? Also, not that I think she should really go higher, especially since her best use requires a lot of investment, but Kurara's ult against any boss with counter is the highest damaging skill in the game. Each bomb can hit for 13 for 39 damage. I think that might have more value than 8 or 9 damage strikes a turn that Koko provides, or Moko being completely redundant. I'd argue Moko is worse than Koko and Shouma too. Doesn't do anything better than any other character or have any sort of niche that's as consistent as someone elses.

Slasher really isn't THAT bad lol. One branch is particularly entertaining. The biggest problem with Slasher it hinges all on one really bad plothole

2nd scenario:
Why does no one thought to let Nozomi suck Eva's blood just like in KG route??
She's literally an obedient slave perfect for that role

curry needs to sit in the fridge overnight to become perfect

but also she can just make curry for the festival or for breakfast

The biggest plothole

Different writers.

Dunno but I'd let her reach popcorn on my lap if you catch my drift

Honestly whatever, it seems like it'd be fun to discuss movies with her. If it's bad we could shit on it together too. I liked how throughout the route you could tell they were slowly getting on the same wavelength like when Takumi flips her accusations back on her and they both basically laugh it all off at the end

arguably the most retarded thing kyoshika ever did was *not* molest kurara after finding out she was spying on her humping her sword.

The Holy Jumongi Sword would get jealous.

There's enough holy jumonji sword for the both of them to enjoy. Kyoshika would even be a good friend and let Kurara use the sheath

I hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE GAKU SO MUCH I CAN'T STAND IT

BRUHs...

Takumi is the dumbest MC i've ever seen. Despite having time powers, this guy has NO agency at all to get shit done. it's actually amazing.

doesnt matter
they should check each others writing

Imagine the NTR doujins with Gaku raping everyone in secret like Shinji in Akoman doujins.

I don't think they did lol. Slasher makes no sense considering Coming of Age.

Takumi doesn't mind raising gaku's kid

but my free time...

Laugh in Mystery route

He could've just ported back when Gaku dies.
Did this motherfucker forget he can loop back in time? Yes I know it's a plot point for later but he doesn't even try.

invading enemy base

ally can still be revived next wave even when there's no revive-o-matic

The cope answer is he needs fully charged 100 days of hemoanime to make the time jump

Poor,ugly and an attention whore

I defy you to find a single screenshot of Gaku saying something that isn't selfish, stupid, annoying, or demanding compensation.
Or of someone saying something nice about him.

They retreat during the invader base like Nozomi.

Constantly fishing for compliments

Expects people to thank him for basic decency

Blushes when given any sort of positive reinforcement

Abandonment issues

Calling him an attention whore is a massive understatement. Takumi could have made him his side bitch in like 2 days

gaku talking about how he wants dick is spoilers

the bug in his brain was fucking with his appetite that whole slasher route

at least he's self-aware

Does this count

is Takumi the most evil Kodaka protag?
he's definitely got some darkness in him
yeah he's totally spineless and i really expected that to change after the first 100 days
it's not as bad on some routes

The truth ending literally ends with Takumi saying Gaku is unlikable

his back story with his siblings isnt enough for you anon?

fuck my siblings, i work hard for them and they give me nothing, i'd rather the entire world die than save them

You talk him out of this, but that's what he thought at first.

Dicking Nozomi while kyoushika listening next door..

You don't even need to talk him out of it. The correct answer is to let him keep talking because he knows he's lying to himself and starts crying. Before LDA he never had the opportunity to talk to someone and thus sort his feelings out

remember to search the tag #ハンドラ美術部 on twitter the everything app

file.png - 1178x1668, 3.65M

I want to see her when she's herself, her brainwashed version is just depressing to see. Does she snap out of it in any route?
I hate how horny this game generally is, even compared to Danganronpa

why does she make the sign of sucking pussy?

Does Shouma get a glow up like Darumi does in the Restnom route? I still don't really care much for him.

did you see killing game Eva?

ハンドラ美術部

it's called "X"

shes aggressively a lesbian

Rank the routes.

she is not a lesbian she's only ever loved one person and that person was male

KG. She's Bi. but desu I think she just accepts anyone who accepts her.

She wants you to lick her pussy

I hate how horny this game generally is

Same. I don't mind coomer shit but all the stuff like characters having pasts being prostitutes or escorts, kyoshika constantly talking about using her sword as a dildo or eva in general is just gross.

From what I’ve seen she gets 2 routes about her the Eva route and the Box of Calamity route (a branch at least). Rather disappointingly though the Eva route is like 5 minutes long after you get on it, it skips like 20+ days when you make the decision right to the final fight then asks you to make another decision. Box of Calamity happens if you execute Eva when she surrenders, she gets so pissed when you kill her that she places a curse on the group and starts haunting Takumi.

Does she snap out of it in any route?

I haven't done that many routes but she has a large role in the killing game kino route

Please have faith in me to remember something I read beforehand especially when you make the MC say "oh yeah that happened." These constant two sentence flashbacks are so silly.

comedy and slasher at the bottom

I'll be honest I still preferred Eva route to Rebellion or Conspiracy. I kinda wish the final battle was an actual fight because it would've been cool to pilot commander form Eva and Takumi together but it at least didn't fall as flat on its potential as those routes do.

slasher is kino wtf

a detective technique

file.png - 1526x782, 319.21K

So far on my end

2nd Scenario

Coming of Age

Romance

Comedy

Eva

Rebellion

Conspiracy

slasher is better interspersed throughout the other routes, i'm sure of it
when you play it immediately after the prologue it's long and drawn out and boring and you learn nothing until the very end

They definitely should have spread out the answers more throughout different routes more or add more story locks until you do a proper route.

Slasher is so unhinged I love it. Also the ending is bittersweet in the main route. I wish Zombie Branch was a Kyoshika or Kurara route though. They could've easily added it but nooooooo. Kurara 1v8 was dumb as fuck though lmfao.

Retsnom: 9/10
Coming of Age: 8/10
Box of Calamity: 7/10
Mystery: 5/10
Slasher: 4/10
Comedy: 2/10

S Tier

turns out the common mistake in most routes is telling people you're from the future

I am a machine that turns FREE TIME into sleep

Technically the mistake is stating in front of creatures you know for a fact are intelligent now that Takumi powered everyone up including the enemy. It's the catalyst to Vex'nhess deciding to absorb everyone and not just her fellow commanders

it's absolutely fucked, and especially on the routes where they know Sirei is fucking with them too

I fucking hated that on S.F. a Takumi with prior knowledge of the timelines decides the only reason he's not killing Eva is just cause 'oh the bugs might come out of the boxes' and then everyone just treats the brainwashing like a total joke, what in the fuck like good god man you met her kid on Killing game and I know you remember that route you fuck

I’m surprised so many people didn’t like slasher I don’t get it? Maybe cause I did 2nd scenario before the lock required endings so I wasn’t interested in “learning” anything/I knew you wouldn’t really learn anything unless you do 2nd scenario

She's not lesbian she's just brain broken from loneliness and porn addiction and would accept anything.

oh look we can understand the invaders now, hmm should MC stop being a murderhobo and fucking learn what the point is of the war? the invader is literally asking for mercy

TAKUMI KILL HIM

EH ALRIGHT

Oh my fucking god I still can't believe there's not a single route where you can save that guy. shit feels awful.

ngl, was a bit disappointed to find out thats actually a real song that is, according to the groups yt video, 1 year old. thought it was an original for the game first

I think writers do this because feasibly you can take a break at any time during the VN portions (especially on that route) and you might actually need the reminder.

Slasher hinges on one REALLY bad plothole

People can't be revived despite being dead for like 5 minutes

You get beheaded and yet you're perfectly fine.

Second Line Academy have to wait like at least 4-7 hours to get revived and they're perfectly fine.

Zombie gets even more dumb

One ending has Kurara completely 1v8 the whole school easily.

They already can trap the zombies and kill them off easily but decide to just stay back and let themselves get CHOMP'd

no really just fucking booby trap the fucking school you morons.

Takemaru is an edgecase, his biggest strengths are his huge movement and unique attack patterns making him surprisingly useful. He also carries the early game by getting fat shields early on. But I can see why you can argue he can be a bit lower, I'd probably place him between A and B, but just adding more tiers would defeat the purpose.

oh look we can understand the invaders now, hmm should MC stop being a murderhobo and fucking learn what the point is of the war?

There are numerous times when I'm thinking the exact same thing but retard Takumi just goes with the flow of his classmates or takes too long thinking and the commanders get Vex'd.

Just don't give them any duct tape

People can't be revived despite being dead for like 5 minutes

Their hemoanima is too drained. That's not a plothole, it's a loophole. Characters can be revived from getting exploded or even die outside of school grounds and still be revived.

The writers make Takemaru either really based or fucking retarded. Gaku gets a massive downgrade after the prologue to being an actual joke.

Also it's either Mystery or KG where Takumi just goes something like "I should ask Eva about the point of the war" or she starts infodumping and he decides "nah i'm too busy for this" and im like wtf. Some of these routes need a writing doctor lol. I mean I admire the team just going "nah do your own thing" but put all together makes no sense. To be fair there's not really much compilation type VNs that we got and we can tell this was probably really inspired by kamitachi no yoru 1 & 2 and higurashi but kamitachi no yoru isn't translated and higurashi had one writer for the main routes and the rest of the other arcs are just side stories not part of the "main game"

dude has saya no uta disease

they actually went and did both sides of the illness

somehow didn't predict this, absolute kino. I thought it was just going to be a funny reference

no fucking way, they still have blood man, a lot of the cast could've been revived especially since second to last got revived after quite a few hours. they've been cut by a powersaw or dagger man not the bees. that's some bullshit.

So... 100% route confirmed?It's about if they can retrieve their corpses too, right?

Honestly they should have destroyed the Revive-O-Matic early on, it's just the most inconsistent element and each writer does whatever they want with it, which is pretty bad.

what route

The fuck are you talking about, a zombie hitting a character in the back should never be a reason for a character instantly going "welp I guess you can't be revived lmao"

Does he get a route with Takumi?

I mean they go out of the way to describe the bodies of having a shit ton of wounds so all the blood drains out and Shouma yelling before he got killed the same way so they find his body in time to be revived so it's not as if they're ignoring potential inconsistencies.

YOU TOLD ME THAT WE SHOULD GO OUR SEPERATE WAYS SO YOU GO THERE BUT I GO STRAIGHT TO THIS PLATE. TURN BACK THE CLOCK RIGHT TO THE END YOU SAID MY EVERYTHING YEAH ITS TRUE I WANNA KNOW WHAT I WANNA DO SO I DO THAT BEFORE THE LIGHT FADES AWAY ILL NEVER GET IT BACK CAUSE I WANNA KNOW WHERE NEXT PLACE I WANNA LIVE MY LIFE THE DAYS REPEAT

Zombie branch should have been kyoushika damn it
They survived together until the end and not a romance hint at all???

Honestly they should have destroyed the Revive-O-Matic early on, it's just the most inconsistent element and each writer does whatever they want with it, which is pretty bad.

The gameplay is too reliant on it, so they have to do shit like "oh the recovery drones were hacked to only work during defensive battles" instead.

NO REALLY YOU FUCKING MORONS YOU ALREADY BOOBY TRAPPED AND KILLED ONE ZOMBIE JUST DO THE SAME FOR THE REST

ngl gaku's reaction is pretty much how i feel everytime Tsubasa gets off'd in any route.

I mean, they could have made it so characters retire out of battle like Nozomi and you can't use kamikaze attacks. Or make the CGs far more brutal, because no character really looks any different than (spoilers for Mystery route) stabbed Shouma

Can someone post the picture of Takumi getting ready for the homerun in Coming of Age? That shit's the funniest moment in the game holy fuck.

wake up

have breakfast

discuss HL with the Anon Babbleros

go back to bed

wtf I'm literally Takumi

Restrom. To get there Spare Eito, reveal secret, save last defense

I'll post both CGs because I'm not sure which one you prefer

kek yeah they did trapped eito zombie
why did they just forget it existing

Honestly still the smartest Takumi was in combat Because I got CoA before 2nd Scenario it actually kinda pissed me off that Takumi never connects the dots in that timeline that so long as any part of the body remains the Revive-O-Matic will fix them up.

HELP SIREI IS FUCKIN SICK ON MY ROUTE WHAT DO I DO

file.png - 2048x1837, 3.67M

Should I get this for switch or PC? I don't like censorship but I also don't wanna pay $60 for something unless I'm getting a physical copy

fuck this trash route

Hey Takumi you know that ability you use to turn back time? Now you can do it for 100 days?

huh????? when the fuck was that ever mentioned in the story???
Does a route ever use the idea in Killing Game in which Takumi taking the blood of Eito and other commanders end up changing his personality? Will be kinda disappointed if it's just a red herring.

you made a trash decision

ngl the other ending had some at least solid voice acting from Jp Takumi.

You need to play through slasher to access SF...

At least in killing game they made the excuse that it got modified to not work outside battles. They have a line referencing something being wrong with it when Takumi wakes up after Moko dies and he jumps out the window he asks why didn’t the drones pick her up and Tsubasa says she doesn’t know why it seems to be working properly. Maybe the “sponsor” or the thing in Takumi’s head fucked with it in that route too? They are the same type of thing after all

Takumi's JP VA is really good at bloodcurdling screams. Like in Casual Route when he realizes he was brainwashed into thinking
everything was ok.

no i mean you let kyoshika sacrifice herself for you instead of the reverse

The only disappointing thing in this game is that Masafumi Takada didn't go hard at all. Box 15 is still the best bop.

I was pretty pissed about that too when it was time to get on the spaceship and then either Takumi or Kyoshika just eat shit. Really? The pit should still be there and they can’t see only hear just stand in front of it you fucks

there are two or three good songs, sirei's supervision and encounter are p good
and >goes hard
some of his battle songs go hard as hell with the guitar and epic boss fight vibe
none that achieve the heights of DR though
and ikoroshia no diffs box 15

The only thing I wish the routes had more of was the teenage angst part. They kinda cover it a little bit but I was hoping for a LOT more shitty teenage drama about NOOOO I DONT WANT TO FIGHT YOU CANT MAKE ME FIGHT other than I puke in a bag and that's embarrassing.

he's done MUCH better before which is the disappointing part. The only song I really like that is the credits insert song and that's not even him lol.

Moko's route

It's a romance arc for three other girls

why do you mock me, Kodaka?

IMPOSSIBLE DAMN HUMANSSSSSSSSSS

one of the most characters among female players is gaku

who is a poorfag, a manlet, an incel, a boarderline rapist, a petty bitch and a useless faggot to boot

but still no woman has ever been interested in (me)

obviously you are meant to reject all the other girls so Moko just gets frustrated and snu snu's you

fujos aren't real women

hes only popular as Yugamu's fucktoy thoubeit

women love fixing poorfags

file.png - 850x537, 1.05M

So how's the story? Is there a "true route"? And how frustrating is it in general?

It's weird I think this is one of the lower quality of Uchikoshi and Kodaka games but it's probably my "favorite". It's not even a so bad it's good type thing. It's just really fun sci fi pulp fiction.

Somnium 2 was fucking dogshit compared to this

lower quality

this isn't even remotely close to the lowest Uchikoshi has to offer

I'd put it a little below AI Somnium Files 1. But yeah, 2 was so bad.
ZTD was entertaining but disappointing. I'd put the writing quality around the same desu. It has almost the exact same BULLSHIT stuff. But THL isn't really "disappointing" but engaging instead.

there is a route 0 that is actually pretty kino
then there is a true route if you make the right choices, which is alright too but the reveals might disappoint you
then there is a true true route that you can only unlock if you play most of the other story relevant routes (aka not joke routes like comedy or romance)
THEN you unlock a final story lock for the Mystery route to get behind the biggest mysteries of all....

Somnium 2

2 was so bad.

i finished 1 recently and was going to play 2. What's wrong with 2?

Man, I don't know what to tell you, I consider ZTD to be the worst script of the last decade.

how's the story?

pretty good

is there a "true route"?

there is a route where you find out what's going on with the story, and a route where you find out what's going on with the various routes, you'll have to figure out whether this constitutes which one of these is a "true route"

frustrating

the combat is easy if you've played SRPGs before, and stay on top of upgrades. there is a skip option for battles you've done before (and it's such a long game you'll be doing a bunch of combat anyway), it's more a question of how much of the game you can put up with in one go.

>frustrating

I was more asking if the characters act in retarded ways to make things go wrong for no discernible reason

I wonder if they even really thought about how stupid it is that Hiruko yeeted Kako G into a random timeline. Bitch she’s gonna wake up IN the Time Machine room you really think that isn’t gonna fuck anything up and let her be a menace across multiple timelines? Plus you’re fucking looping you really think you aren’t gonna end up in that one at some point and get fucked by her

I got Romance and then Comedy as my first two routes, no wonder I've been having second thoughts about this game.
My third run is "Let him live -> Tell the truth" and it does so much within 20 days already, I just got shit luck I guess
