No interest in it since its switch only.

I just can't tolerate playing switch games on my OLED TV anymore. If its comes to a different plattform later on i might check it out.

Gotta be honest I'm super hype and afraid at the same time. Performances looks extremely rough but I hope it's only in a few places and not throughout the whole game
Do we know when reviews will be out ? Fingers crossed !

I'm buying it, I have a million things to play but this release just feels like one that will really gain in price for Physical. And I like physical switch titles.

As messy as the dialogue of the Danganronpa games could get, I somehow found myself really enjoying all the games, so I am definitely interested on whatever this is. Sadly I don't own a Switch, so I am waiting for a PC version.

This game will show if Kodaka really became so succesful only due to the ingenious premise of DR or if his writing just manages to work somehow. The trailers for Rain Code definitely weren't grabbing me.

I really want to pick this up since I do enjoy Kodaka's work, but FFXVI and Ghost Trick both took over my wallet for this last half of the month. I simply can't afford it at this time but will definitely pick it up when I can or whenever its on sale.

I'm simultaneously hyped and meh.

However, this thread is really making me want to finally play Danganronpa V3. Which would entail playing 1 & 2 again (and possibly UDG for the first time), as I remember very little of the story.

I get this confused with DecaPolice, which I'm more interested in. Hope this does well though. Will definitely keep an eye out.

Ooh, that's good to know. So should I watch the anime before playing V3?

Nah, I meant that UDG is relevant to the anime, not that the anime is relevant to V3. If you want a conclusion to the overall story from DR1 and 2 then you can watch it, but it's generally not considered all that good. You can go into V3 with only a vague recollection of the first two games and be just fine.

V3 is as close to an independent game to the previous titles as it could possibly be while also being a sequel.

Its great you owe it to yourself to play it.

Roger that - thanks. Maybe I'll watch a recap of 1&2 at least.

V3 is in the interesting position of being a superb conclusion to the franchise while also requiring only the vaguest of recollections of what happened in previous games. It walks an impressively fine tightrope to accomplish that, honestly.

The DR3 anime is bad and thankfully 100% skippable.

Guess I'll be getting asap after all. Thought I'd try to finish FF16 before I got around to this but I'm kind of losing interest so I'll just jump right into this tomorrow after work.

The premise of the game isn't really hyping me up all that much, but I liked Danganronpa too much not to be interested. May be a day 1 affair if I have the time.

Wasn't planning on buying this Day 1 but this was apart of the Best Buy Buy 2 Switch Games get 1 free so this was one of my choices so it comes tomorrow, yay. Was worried to see no reviews come for this one but so far the reviews look good, hoping this clicks the way nirvanA Initiative did last summer with me.

Okay, I might actually bite. According to the reviews, there's a lot of VA. Anyone know if there's Japanese audio?

I'll definitely get it but with so much other stuff I want to play it's going to be pushed back a bit. I'll play it after FFXVI and Ghost Trick
