Should I do the Truth route before the SF route?

If you're at all curious about the mysteries from the first route. That's the only place you'll learn about it, 2nd scenario is not required for any locks. Longest one though, since it's just as long as the first route and they also make you manually go to the cafeteria also like the 1st route.

Desteny

Remember, Nozomi AND Karua would love to watch as Takumi fucks all her friends and even the Supreme Commander

Filling the tomato with love

tsubasa sex

Can you even skip it? I was pretty sure that the chapter select menu didn't show a branch going to SF at the choice where shit splits before I finished 2nd scenario, but I'm starting to question my sanity at this point with all the anons that apparently want to do SF right off the bat.

Yeah you can ignore 2nd scenario if you want. I got locked out of SF as my first route

The Truth route isn't needed for the story locks on the SF route.
Thanks anon. I might just skip it at this point then, I'm pretty burned out from some of the more tedious routes.

Vehx is sehx.
Since you finished 2nd Scenario, I have a question. I'm on it right now but I only have like 8 endings. Is it better for me to wait until I've seen more of the game before I go into the probably-canon shit?

Nah, just finish it, it will answer most of the questions you had from playing the "prologue" and it doesn't include some really questionable and retarded shit that happens on other routes. Because shit gets worse. So much worse. Holy fuck I hate it. Fuck squidders.

I played this route immediately after the Cult route where Eito mentions Futurum and you're not sure if he's lying or not, then V'ehxness just casually namedrops it her final line of dialogue. Kino game

correct, he simply carries out the will of humanity.

S.F. spoils Second Scenario so yes.

I haven't got to it yet so I'm guessing SF stands for Science Fiction, but it could stand for many other things... San Francisco... Street Fighter... Shizuhara's Feet...

The last one is probably the most accurate description of that dogshit route

Is Second Scenario even needed if I do SF?

The worst thing is that it spoils KG. It isn't even a required route. And they just spoil shit. It doesn't spoil Retsnom. It doesn't spoil CoA. But fuck you if you didn't play KG before that.

No but it's a much better route overall.

we successfully let a bad thread sink

Anon I’m so proud of you

They’re important for different reasons. 2nd scenario is a more straightforward story continuation from the first route, and SF is what you’d be looking for if you came in as a fan of Zero Escape. They both go into very different aspects of the story.

Pretty much nothing from SF or the required routes for SF is applicable at all to 2nd scenario. They’re unrelated to each other

Based

That's rich coming from the guy who made three killing game stories that were complete rehashes of each other.
Or, is he mocking himself here?

he's mocking everyone who wants danganronpa 4

At the pool with my tomato.

Fitting considering Killing Game is the worst route.

Darumi exist to shit on anyone still asking for more Danganronpa

loc actually bad or memed up by jester guys? idc if bad in 2-3 spots. p3r was still good.

You really cannot say that when Comedy and the box routes exist.

Comedy

Conspiracy

Box of Blessings

Serial Battles

Not even close.

Comedy is right there anon, Box of blessiings is utter dogshit, Serial battles...

Got it. Thanks for your invaluable contribution to my filterlist, now fuck right off.

comedy is only a bad first route. If you don't have the context of other routes like killing game or slasher you simply won't have the context as to what fish route's entire joke is

There should’ve been more locks.

t. Uchikoshi

Be me

Played Route 0, got cockblocked by Story Lock 3 and then played the shitty Romance Route

Went back in the flowchart, told the gang that Takky came from the future and kept going from there

Stuff that I already experienced pre-Story Lock 3 happens

Everyone reacts to it as if it was happening for the first time, Takky included

"Whatever I guess."

Go to Second-to-Last

Have to choose between saving them and the LDA

"Why though? What prompted these changes?"

Save Second-to-Last crew

Go back to LDA

Darumi is dead

"Why though? What prompted these changes?"

Also Tsubasa ruins the mood for the 3rd. fucking. time.

It kinda feels like this route should have being a forced 2nd route after the prologue, or maybe the Story Lock 3 should have been placed much earlier into its path, like even before you stalk Hiruko to that one research lab.
Oh well.
It's funny how Takemaru and Gaku are visibly angry about this even though they ignored her like everyone else most of the time.

Enlighten me

Story Lock 1

Ftfm.

I'm actually mad they have a route dedicated to making fun of their own writing, it's like they knew half the routes were shit and just didn't give a fuck. It's one thing to self-parody some minor stuff like character traits, but the entire story structure?

Imagine being the poor fool who gets comedy first after Route 0, I'd be pissed

I feel like i'm going insane seeing all the praise for this game.

The 100 ending thing is a lie, most of them are either straight up bad ends or written in the same manner as a bad end. (this was obviously a marketing ploy i just don't see why people are parroting it as if it's true)

The plot is just hackdaka (2nd scenario spoilers) hacking chunks off of previous games he's worked on and stitching them back together, hoping nobody realizes(somehow he succeed). The main "twist" is LITERALLY V3 AGAIN, he doesn't expand on the idea it's just V3 copy pasted but worse. Eito is" we have komada at home" you guys liked him right? :^),The game referencing the CG at the start of THH is TELLING us to be ready for some memory fuckery making the reveal lose any potency. For a game made by the two mystery VN guys it's incredibly lackluster as a mystery.

The characters follow the danganronpa mould despite it making no sense for this kind of game. Wacky one note danganronpa characters work because they're going to fucking die, so having "I am Mr. le chef man i cooka da bone on the meat" gives us a strong sense of what they're about without having to spend time developing them, giving time to focus on the characters who actually matter.

I say this because the only value I can see in this game is if you REALLY like the cast and want to see them do a bunch of stupid inconsequential shit for 150+ hours. But imo the cast lacks the depth/likeability to carry interest for that long and start to get unbearably annoying 50~ hours in.

The more I think about this game the more it pisses me off, like the entire concept of exploration, the fact we learn the commanders language and it doesn't change any of the dynamics of route 1, kekness stealing the kill EVERY TIME, EVERYONES A MORON
What where they THINKING!?

qweqwe.png - 595x692, 621.87K

if I only liked danganronpa 1 and ONLY the first danganronpa, will I like this?

All I care about is seeing Gaku die

Gaku-death-3.png - 1920x1080, 1.45M

I think the games really shit but I think it's mostly people who are just in the honey moon phase and people who just wanted a new danganronpa desperately wanting to like this game.

Maybe. 1 is my favorite and I like this game.

Probably, it's better than Danganronpa and has over 100 endings

Weebs have poor taste
Believe it or not, the prologue and 2nd scenario are the better parts of the game, most of the time it gets even worse. Although I disagree Eito is just Nagito again

kekness stealing the kill

"Hey look behind you"

everyone gets tricked

EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME

Big spoiler depending how far you are in the game

including Hiruko

BITCH YOU DID THAT SHIT DOZENS OF TIMES AT THIS POINT WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL GETTING TRICKED

If you liked Danganronpa 1, then you'll like anything, because you have no standards.

I was in the same boat as you, no.

Vehxness hearing you're from the future makes her change up her attack plans which then put you in tougher positions

kek as if this pozzed flop is any better

Unironically.

Read in one of these threads that Nozomi is a glownigger, wtf is that about? I played SF

NOOOO i thought i was free from exploration in this ending branch

Box of Blessings is such dogshit because you have to repeat the same fucking explorations 4 times and the dialog is barely changed. What were they thinking?

I guess it's easy to have a ton of routes if they're all 90% wake up, go to cafeteria, free time

I'm so fucking bored
when does it get better
all these routes are just the same shit again and again and again

it doesnt

It doesn't get better

Any ending you choose is the real ending

Except that was a lie. They all just loop back to day 2.

What did they mean by this?

he doesn't know

KEKYPOW!

It means Uchikoshi is a hack

All the Kodaka routes involve instantly murking Danganronpa Reference right off the bat

What did he mean by this?

It doesn't even make sense considering some routes jump forward in time. I chalk it up to Uchikoshi being a hack and he didn't take his role as making sure things didn't contradict each other too much seriously at all.

Women of the Oosuzuki bloodline all go nopan for easy access.

The pumpkin head has spoken

Multiple E route

Takumi kills himself 500 times to flush out Eito with the encouragement of his closest friends

haha fuck you turns out Eito actually has more willpower, the power of hate wins

once you decide to execute the mass murdering sociopath, no matter what you do you get a bad ending

What the actual fuck.

Okay but you get the coolest CG in the game so it balances out

Kodaka's new game Shuten Order got it's full 2 minute trailer
Looks cool out september 5th

That’s still in the top 5 best ending branches in the game. It’s a hilariously brutal sequence.

*ding* *ding* *ding*
Waiter, more Danganslop please. This wasn’t enough.

You should probably play Project: Eden's Garden instead.

Man they've been working on that for a few years now, I wonder how far they've gotten

Chapter 1

This is never getting finished is it?

the team has claimed that the rest of the chapters will not take nearly as long to release but i don't buy that for a single second

Just play the fucking demo faggot. Holy shit.

i like how japanese kodaka games still are, this really doesn't feel like anything a western studio would ever make. he didn't sell out at the very least, or go chasing a western audience like atlus

the inclusion of tranny shit makes it obvious he did just like uchikoshi did

english dub

dub

dub

Using dubs

speaking of dub, you guys ever notice how kyoshika's dub actress is occasionally just pure dogshit
on ~1 out of 50 lines she appalls me with how terrible her delivery is

Yeah, but she does that in the Story Lock 1 path too, and none of the new things that happened in this route I'm in happened there. That's the weird thing.
Why or rather how does Takky being honest to the gang about coming from the future result in having to pick who to save and Darumi's death, while lying to them about it magically does not?
It makes no sense.
In that path the commanders are powered up too, V'ehxness wears a hood and absorbs fallen commanders as well.

have you heard the dub

No.

Most of the english cast have this game as their only role while the rest are a bunch of background characters.

I haven’t played it dubbed, but she’s the worst in the clips I’ve heard, alongside Shouma. People rag on the troon, but at least he sounds female enough and not wooden and flat like Kyoshika. There’s also a general miscasting issue, where they tend to sound way off compared to their Japanese counterpart. That’s a major issue with Shouma.

A lot of the VAs are basically newbies.

It's not too bad. They went with almost exclusively literal who voice actors, which predictably leads to a few bad eggs. Sirei, Eito, Nozomi (probably the best VA in the game), Takumi, Takemaru, Sirei and Ima are probably the standouts. The rest are serviceable to bad.

retards actually sit and listen to some literal who fanganronpa fiverr VA rather than megumi ogata because they can't handle reading subs kek

Actually, maybe she doesn't hear exactly that in the Story Lock 1 path.
I don't remember the dialogue where Sirei spills the beans happening there, and that's what clued her up in this path.

because they can't handle reading subs kek

80% of the dialogue is random grunt noises lmao.
I chose dub because I wanted to see if the rando cast led to any hidden gem VA work.

The Danganronpa dubs were lifeless because of this. She brings such a character-defining performance to the table in those games. Hearing Naegi and Komaeda with that fake teen boy voice in the dub is just ridiculous.

I should have never gone to the vg thread, that place is gay as fuck

monokuma was the only good english VA, but as you said it is actually retarded to play with english VA when you have arguably one of the greatest ever Japanese VAs casted as a main character

It’s been better but today it’s been a lot of fetish posting

IMG_9650.jpg - 870x1024, 157.96K

Gaku? Hiruko? Yugamu?

It's become /drg 2/ pretty much.

I wanted to see if the rando cast led to any hidden gem VA work.

So far, would you say that it has hidden gem VA work?

I would say Takumi, Eito, and Tsubasa are great. The rest are good/fine except Kyoshika has some bad deliveries (but her charm makes up for it/it sometimes fits or I just got used to it) and Shouma is the only one that’s grating to me.

Gaku

I'll admit he's good at being a little dickhead. Though I'll die if I have to hear "LETS FREAKING GO" one more time.

Hiruko

Alright.

Yugamu

Pretty good, didn't blow me away.

Pretty good. Not perfect but I like it. It's the same with smaller movies. I enjoy seeing more indie performances even if the movie doesn't have Tom Cruise in it. Makes the good performances shine more.

There is no route called "truth". There is the 2nd scenario which yes you should do long before SF.

wheres the character popularity poll?

It's also what convinces her to start eating people, and starting with Darumi was probably a bad idea for her mental health.

Uchikoshi carried this game. Deal with it /vn/ schizo.

But the timeloop is easily the worst aspect of the game and completely ruins the "Decide Your Fate/It's Your Future" narrative

Did every route really NEED to be stretched out to Day 100?

It was clear there was one from the very start though.

No
But ultimately when you know a very small amount of people are gonna go through every route, you wanna make sure at least a few are substantial enough to feel like a full game.

This but I’m Nozomi

[/spoiler]Not really, the only one in a timeloop is the SF routes, a bunch of routes go beyond so it's extremely inconsistent. Why is Hiruko part of the timeloop even? The special hemoanima seems bullshit considering she doesn't even mention anything on 2nd scenario[/spoiler]

they seemed to be saying that any route that doesn’t have all 17 survive will have that timeline end and send Takumi back to day 2. You can probably give an excuse that 2nd scenario was probably one of the first routes they both did before Hiruko really became aware of the looping

Still doesn't work because one of the branches of 2nd scenario leads to rebellion, which shows you a full decade where Takumi continues living, plus the reset ending also continues past. And in cult they reach the satellite.
At that point it cannot be called a loop.

What if looping just means their consciousness gets sent back if they are dead or not, but in the case of being alive it's just copied?

That's what I took it as. Hiruko just keeps losing the coin flip ;^)

didn’t Hiruko also say an excuse where some might go beyond 100 but still send you back? Seemed like they were just trying to cover their bases since not every ending fit with the thing but the gist is essentially none of those futures go beyond what we see. Which sure sucks since Rebellion ends 15 years later right when things go good! Reset isn’t too big a stretch that only takes place seemingly a few days later.

The only ones that seemed to make it are the 2 all 17 SF outcomes and Mystery

But I am curious if 2nd scenario gets to go forward due to both time fuckers dying before the end plus all the hemoanima is gone at that point too.

Funniest moment in the game coming up anon.

I could really go for a frog right now.

forgets karua/nozomi exists

shit game
shit characters
kodaka suicide when?

i played up until everyone going out to hunt and finding out there aren't any invaders

i hope i didn't miss the funny moment. eva's daughter straight up refusing to tell us the truth about the situation was pretty funny - i assume at this point we all have pretty good theories about what's actually going on re: who the actual invaders are and what the satellite is

unironically though i like this route a lot. i suffered through slayer and comedy before this. it's also good to see a route that has straight up bad ends that just end and don't force you to sit through the whole 100 days.

What day? I just got to that part myself.

the thing about branching storylines is that even if a character dies horribly and tragically you don't care because they'll be alive in a different timeline
as always, linear games > freeform games

Day 76. Don't ask for information.

I'm convinced that the writers of the Killing Game route started with "How can we make the most chaotically diametric polycule possible?" and worked backwards from there

Not really. The lack of Darumi and Kyoshika in most of the 2nd scenario branches is very noticeable.

the thing about branching storylines is that they branch

holy cr*p, really?! :o

yeah but the moment they die isn't as impactful a moment as it would be if it were in the prologue
like did you really go "oh shit this is HUGE" when darumi died, i doubt it, you thought you were just on another branch

the thing about branching storylines is that they are worse than non-branching ones

work on your reading comprehension

I would have loved this game but as you said the cast is so lame. If only it had a character that's always entertaining like Nagito or Chiaki or Togami or Celeste or Gundam or Kokichi ect. Instead we get a cast of full of Sodas, Hiros, Akanes and Tsumikis. That is to say, boring nobodies you don't care about.

I beat the first route and I lack motivation to continue.

no, but actually yes

mfw (my face when) i stumble upon something super obvious, but think it's completely different if i phrase it a different way

diametric

I'm convinced they didn't bother to read any of the Kodaka script, because nobody is in character

I'm convinced you're a schizo.

Yeah bro, Tsubasa is totally a jealous perpetually thirsty ho. Nozomi wants mommy milk. Takemaru is a psychotic asshole who bangs up women if they get in his way. Takumi is a petty asshole who readily gets baited into beefing with friends. This is their character, and you're not illiterate whatsoever.

Right, the context is vampirism. Drinking blood from a hickey makes you want mommy milk for the rest of your life.

eva sex

This second sponsor faggot is clearly fucking Eito___. He has a very distinct EN VA, even pitched up. Am I really gonna have to sit through this retardation until they reveal the oh so epic TWEEST?

Yes.

Is there a route that explains Takumi having the futanari hair streak?

But Eito is dead anon. How could he possibly be the second sponsor?

It’s not treated as a bad thing. It’s just a very abrupt transition of Tsubasa’s action in the route.
And it has great meme potential

done cult, eva, vexness, 2nd, goodbye eito
do i switch to sub to freshen the experience?

Visiting Eva in her cage for her daily sex

She is hot.

It's way better, so yes

Tsubasa is totally a jealous perpetually thirsty ho

Yeah? Did you not read Vehxness route?

Nozomi wants mommy milk

Her mommy issues are a central part of her backstory, it's not a stretch she'll latch on to the next mother-shaped thing. It's also hot.

Takemaru is a psychotic asshole who bangs up women if they get in his way

You forget that Takumi convincing him to join the invader hunt is what coerced everyone else to join up. His tunnel vision in protecting the twins is a result of him partly blaming himself and wanting to save whoever he can trust.

Takumi is a petty asshole who readily gets baited into beefing with friends.

Yeah, Takumi's a massive tard, this is expressed pretty clearly in other routes.

pic

I hope you're not one of those Darumifags that says her Retsnom characterization is incompatible with her Killing Game characterization, while you defend this schlock. She's by far the most consistently written character, because she at least has the "wild card" / unpredictability excuse backed into her cuh-raziness.
Everyone else acting like fanfic-tier retards is inexcusable.

He's well aware that their behavior makes sense in context anon.

She was already my favorite girl pre-Retsnom, I never had a problem with her character in KG.

Eat your slop, piggy!
Nothing about this makes sense with the "context." The """context""" usually makes it worse. Nozomi has regressed to the mental age of a low IQ teenager in this route, you can't explain that with the """""context."""""

Case in point. It's best not to engage with the /vn/ schizo.

he's now accusing me of being his bogeyman gay lover from his home general

Always one of you fags doing this for any given game. I have only posted about this game in the Anon Babble threads. Bad writing is bad writing, simple as.

Does she reveal her face?

She only has eyes for Vehx, sadly (You) never had a chance.

what the fuck there's zombies in this route? can't be that bad right?

Does anyone have a screenshot of Takumi saying "Whats wrong with having an ego?"

I did a little Romance, hit some story locks and ended up in Comedy.
Just finished the Meat branch(had a fun time) and I was thinking of going Fish but this comment is making me think I should pivot to something else for a bit.

that would be me

Guilty as charged but I just kind of rolled with it and then fucked off to another route

surprise female protag twist

Meh, lost all interests.

Why did you spoil me?

picked up

Why does every female commander (except Eva) wanna fuck V'ehxness?

The Uchikoshi bullshit ruined this game. Prologue and 2nd Scenario are both kino but players have a chance to get retarded frog and loop bullshit first which is sad.

dat anatomy

Fuck off schizo.

Cult route

Romance route

Comedy route

Why did they decide to make trap decisions that get you sent into these routes?

Cult is fine. It's still plot relevant.
Romance and Comedy probably should've been story locked though.

Doesn't look like it tho.

What routes to have sex with Nozomi?

Sold, I will now play your game

i don't think anyone has made a more hateable character in a video game in years

is it ever explained who the fuck this is?

Surely the eventual DLC will explain this, right?

Lol, lmao even

What's there to explain? He was going to let Takumi know all the stuff that's discovered in 2nd scenario and that the satellite is probably in the middle of a civil war now.

If you preferred DR1 specifically because it was less bloated than 2 and V3, then fuck no, this is one of the most bloated VN's ever made, 100+ hours easily, the prologue alone is 40 hours and you don't get any choices until you're done with it.

this slasher route might be the worst thing i have ever read this is retarded oh my fuck

there are at least four routes in the game stupider than slasher. i'm guessing you haven't seen any of them yet

[NSW] The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy (Aniplex, 04/24/25) – 1,367 (30,481)

Ahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha

IMG_8053.png - 540x650, 501.97K

this slasher route might be the best thing i have ever read this is kino oh my fuck

there's enough teasing that odds are we'll see it in the DLC or anime, but I don't think we're ever gonna see a follow up on even half the stuff SF set up

wait is there gonna be dlc for this game?

At some point, you have to admit we're just comparing shit tier routes to each other and only a few are actually decent.

Sure there is, anon. There will be tons of beautiful DLC that explains all the loose plot threads. Just close your eyes, it'll come out any day now

I just wish other routes mixed up the gameplay more. Instead of giving Vehxness the strongest plot armor I've ever seen just so she can be final boss. Fucking let her die in some routes and keep Dahlxia as the final boss. Maybe all the remaining commanders all attack at once for a final boss. Remove box of blessings route from the game. Have [[The Sponsor]] completely hijack the invader forces on some routes or you actually fight them.
Hell, make Killing Game route actually make you go out and actively seek out battle nodes, the story could still be the same as long as you keep Takumi from the bottom 2 places. Also remove box of blessings from the game.

What's the TLDR of Box of Blessings and why is it so universally hated?

i have only read the KG route up to this point.
i thought that was enjoyable. in comparison, the characters in this route don't act like "themselves"

and this zombie shit...why the FUCK are you running away?? YOU have seen Takumi kill them with a metal pipe? and then a power saw can apparently kill 15 at the SAME TIME? and then the FINAL boss gets killed by a mob of them...hahaha

seriously what were they thinking???

Lots of Exploration
little variation between the branches of the route when you go down a different path (a cardinal sin, when every other route makes sure to at least feel different)
Large focus on Gaku

Interestingly, KG is one of the routes where characters act the most different from how they act in every other route. So it's kind of ironic that you read that first, since they'll never act like that ever again.
But yeah, Slasher is dumb. Highly recommend you go spare Eito just to see a non-dumb route

Basically you're forced to exploration segments and the dialog is extra repetitive so if you want to see all the endings you have to repeat the same text over and over

It's a bunch of exploration filler with near zero plot changes through it's branches beyond the ending.
It's a shame because Box of Calamity is great.
Hemoanima doesn't work on the the zombies.
KG brings out both the worst and best in everyone in my opinion.

S.F is dogshit and not canon

Calm down schizo.

Evil women sex

People who dislike S.F. are room IQ retards who take comfort in the existence of an easy second route choice over actually experimenting and making decisions on their own. It's kind of sad but not unexpected, some people never grow the ability to be independent. Don't worry, Kodaka has you covered lil babby.

Sad it sold like shit. This is easily Kodakas etc. best work

Happy it sold like shit. This is easily Uchikoshi's worst work.

Real schizo hours here

seriously? i thought there was some neat character dynamics in KG. ah well..

what's stopping them from using the power tool that seemingly kills them instantly? or ganging up on one with metal pipes and taking them out ? idk man

I dont really get this complaint...

Tsubasa always crushes a little bit on Takumi on most routes so...

Darumi basically has a miniature version of her retsnom arc

Yugamu doesn't actually like having a murder fetish so enough suffering in routes breaks him out of it

Takemaru and the twins is just normal

Nozomi and Eva were weird though. I guess the weird blood bond vampirism shit was a believable enough excuse.

It's the most canon out of all the routes, insane lore dumps that tie all the background lore together, you find out information you get on no other route, and it even has a 'happy' ending for the brainlets

truly, it was Uchikino

I was enjoying it fine at first. Creative scenario and method to defeat the villain, but then they ruin it all for a last minute twist that doesn't make any sense.

Retsnom was pretty good until it turned into a free time bonanza. I thought it was funny when they solemnly buried Eito in the backyard for his brave sacrifice with nobody pointing out that he could just be revived with the red tear.

It’s over for hackda

I liked the other routes attached to SF and Mystery, but those two suck so bad. They’re too fast paced, and Uchikoshi can’t write for Kodaka’s weird characters at all. They act totally lobotomized. I don’t care if his own characters are exposition machines that occasionally make Reddit-tier jokes, but he’s taking the wheel from someone else here. Those are the only two routes where it goes beyond a couple odd inconsistencies and becomes flat out jarring. The whole writing style changes completely.
He should’ve stayed in the supervisor role he’s credited for and had someone else write Mystery and SF to complete the whole bug plot.

They act totally lobotomized.

In SF, they are. Hiruko is worst girl for a reason

I dont care that the side characters become basic because that happens all the time. The thing that annoys me the most about SF is that Takumi and Hiruko convert into the Uchikoshi stock standard Pervy-Yet-Reliable Male and No-Nonsense-But-Jokes-At-Weird-Times Female duo and you just get that for most of the time.

i am playing the game english dubbed and I DO NOT CARE

I liked hiruko in slasher. SF's character writing was such garbage and she became uchikoshi's pet nigger

They half transform into Date and Aiba. It’s really blatant. What sucks is that Hiruko is an interesting and likable character when she’s written by someone else. But Uchikoshi ended up in charge of the route that focuses on her.

based

Tsubasa randomly becomes a Yandere

Darumi Retsnom arc but it takes 1/10 of the time or effort it does in Retsnom. Her somber personality is never mentioned and is entirely replaced with YURI!!!1!!!

Takemaru and Twins are a lot more antagonistic (except Ima who's normal) and barley get any screen time anyways.

Hiruko who never gives a shit about anyone randomly decides to give a shit for plot reasons

The aforementioned Nozomi mommy fetish

It reads like fanfiction, down to the characters becoming exaggerated versions of themselves and weird shit like the polecule. Even if you look past it, the Killing Game itself sucks

I get the feeling you haven't actually played the game and are just shitposting based off things you've seen about it.
Either that or you're illiterate.

Half the dub actors are doing great while the other half are complete dogshit. The disconnect I get listening one to the other is just too much for me to tolerate.
Besides if you told me Eva's JP VA secretly did eroge on the side I'd believe it.

Go on anon, explain how anything I said was wrong

Tsubasa becomes breedable and the best girl in that route tho
She was so inexistant in other routes I never noticed her gigantic brown tits

NTA but it would be feeding the troll to actually engage with your post. Instead I will give you feedback to troll better.
You mixed up the Tsubasa on Vexhness route (which is just a shitpost anyway) with the KG route where she's just a sweetheart.

She Slits Eito's throat in KG because he was slightly rude to Takumi, despite the fact that he was already defeated. In Vexhness (Which I don't think was perfect) she was a lot more justified in what she did, and even then, didn't follow through. Did we just forget that?

KG because he was slightly rude to Takumi,

He was tormenting the love of her life after they were united in soul and *body*.

KG didn't do everything wrong, (Yugamu is a lot better in that route then fucking Slasher.) but my point was that it reads like fanfiction. Which it does, even if it does things right.

Hiruko who never gives a shit about anyone

Yeah that's what tells me he didn't even play the prologue, or wasn't paying attention during it at the very least.

My point was that she never went out of her way for a single student like she did with Darumi (except Takumi). Her whole shtick is greater good long-term (that's how she justifies the shit she does). But she literally singled her out in KG so she could die and give Darumi development.

Me voting for 2nd scenario despite not playing it yet

I'm voting for 2nd scenario but I didn't play SF

You are of course dead on but there's one no taste nerd weirdly interested in defending the wildly inconsistent edgy shit writing in this route specifically for some reason

Cult of Takumi

2nd scenario

manually have to go to cafeteria pretty much every day

tons of free (nap) time

5+ mandatory explorations all over the place

4+ unskippable commander battles even though I already did fights almost exactly like them in other routes

like 80% of the *shocking truth* was already revealed in other endings if you have a brain to put 2 and 2 together

no Darumi and Cuterara for 90% of the route

ENOUGH
Fuck you
Whoever says 2nd scenario is better than SF is a FUCKING RETARD
I don't care that you have a hateboner for Uchikoshi, you're just being a contrarian
2nd scenario is almost "Comedy/Box of Blessings" levels of BAD

You haven't played 2nd scenario either schizo. You haven't played the game at all.

Okay, I will play it, but it's better not be something weird.

It's one of the weird routes but it still retains a plot.

Don't forget the finale, which is the single worst thing in the entire game.
Which is especially bad, because if the writer didn't want his forced kill everyone ending it could've been the best finale in the game.

That's the issue with 2nd. It's the best when you play it directly after prologue. It's pacing is much more similar to prologue then some of the more eccentric routes and it's written like a direct follow up. But the other routes take the piss out of it, which is a problem of the entire game

If you're going to take off the mask like a fag why even bother?

2nd scenario is specially bad because of the corny message it tries to have

yeah, bro. You all died but on the bright side Nozomi is still alive and piece was achieved and she will get to marry and breed with some random futurum dude to preserve the human species

I'm literally Takumi, the sloomber, why would I want that?

it's bad because it doesn't stroke off my self-insert

peak dimwit
like people who miss the point of Mob Psycho's ending

Midwit.

my real life is shit
i at least want my self-insert to live a good life

>it's bad because it doesn't stroke off my self-insert

Yes

the fake memory bioweapons should all die desu, they can never be real boys and provide no value toward preserving humanity's legacy like her

If you want the main character to be me, he has to score the hot chick
If he's his own character doing his own decisions, fine, he can lose the girl. But if I have a menu to select his actions, then he is my avatar and MUST have sex with the women I want him to

The will of humanity disagrees actually.

Recreating mankind from a single female wouldn't work very well, the will of mankind knows best.

King

Gaku is such an unlikeable retard that Kako has to break the fourth wall and tell the player directly to not let him die if they want to get on the good route

Not sure why it was needed. The other choice was even worse: letting Kurara live.

Iva extends my dick

It's me right now, finished fish and clown routes, started meat route. What I want to say - clown is much better than fish because of timeskips including battles, instantly redeemed. Fish would be good with the same structure. But I started to feel tired from all this retarded bullshit, still playing this route simply of stubborness

You don't have reddit opinions, right?

gremlin

not darumi

sasuga redditors

I never look at Reddit

Reddit hates Gaku

This proves that Gaku is based and red-pilled and if you hate him you are a faggot

Tsubasa? We hate her here now

Satsuki? On MY Anon Babble?
Based.

I really have to agree.

The game feels like instead of making "rough drafts" or edits of the story they just threw them all in one game without much editing. I read this all in Japanese, and I have to say this is one of the most verbose stories I have ever read, but at the same time it manages to say very little. Like what is the "theme" here? Why was any of this written? It is the longest of his works; but easily the most shallow. It's very odd. I am going to assume they just had 4-5 different writers just write their own routes and no-one really proof-read each others works.

Comedy and Romance is only hated by plotfags

okay schizo

Man I really respected the V3 ending because I thought it was a interesting message, and I like stories which critique the audience that reads them.

But fuck, hundred Line is not that. It doesn't earn that. Nothing in the game has enough "consistency" to make any of the twists feel worth while. So many of the differences between routes just don't make sense. It can feel like each route is from a parallel worlds instead of the same world. I was never "surprised" when big twists happened, since I could never expect anything in the first place, "that is just how this route is I guess" is call I can say and move on.

I rolled my eyes when Kodaka reused twists but I will admit the twists in this game were done better than they were in SDR2 and V3. At least the characters actually had to deal with the implications of them.

if you ignore the 100 route gimmick and play just the prologue + second scenario it's a pretty tight story about war, survival, and having a reason to live
add in murderers and bugs and time leaps and you get a pile of blech

Pretty much. If I ever recommend it to a friend I'll be sure to tell them the same and help them pick options in a spoiler free way to avoid the garbage

stop samefagging, schizo

?

This scene was great

lol this always just comes down to people trying to push the Kodaka route because they have some beef after Nirvana Initiative

haha funni shounen trope XD

no

Well, Nirvana Initiative was absolute shit and not in a fun way like ZTD. And the first AI was pretty decent

This route is up there somewhere in my top 5 best routes. I just love the ending.

NI is good. The tweest retroactively makes it worse in a lot of ways but it's still good.

Nah. Cast is weak, only Ryuki and Tama were entertaining, plot is boring even without twist and comedy is unfunny but in a bad way - I mean, Date and Aiba had a lot of cringe unfunny dialigues but it was the appeal "so bad that it became good", in NI it just bad

I regret buying this game.

I pirated it but I definitely regret forcing myself thru the prologue thinking it would get better.

I like NI and loved the twist and HL would still be better without Uchikoshi

cult ending

does not waifu evil woman

DROPPED

THIS IS IT

FUCK YOU

FUCK THIS SHIT GAME

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Nozomi is cute sweet girl

Suddenly want to eat Takumi in the clown sub-route

I bet she is huge pervert actually, but have a good self-control
