    This game has a very interesting plot but the gameplay can be very very very fuckin bare bones and frustratingly obtuse . It has good bones. In the sense that a 5 day old t bone steak has good bones. Theres solid room for a great game here but the game doesn't DO ANYTHING with what solid ground it has here. Its like seeing a farmer with natures greatest soil use it to throw mud pies at his face. .....and despite its solid core plot a lot of the character writing is so painfully shallow it makes me want to choke the DanganRonpa dev team. ESPECIALLY the character banter . Case in point: Who thought talking about how one mentions literal shit as chill character banter?????)

    To think a top tier game designer is bashing their head into this game like a maniac with me. Im honored 😂 Is it a coincidence that I am a longtime game designer (amateur) myself?

    I actually finished the game with the harem ending on stream, though it took a while! I ultimately stopped uploading any VODs of it because Premiere was just getting worse and worse to work with; it wouldn't even scrub video properly anymore by the time I dropped it. I should probably cut the rest of the VODs for KZread at some point now that I have much better (i.e. functional) editing software.

    I've "finished" D1 twice. Played D2 for a couple months. Played D5 for a few months. Thought it was great but eventually tired of it. Almost too much to do. I've recently began another playthrough of D1 Complete and I find it the most satisfying.

    Great video, you really broke down the game very well with wonderful detailed explanation. I just got D5 a few days ago before I even watched this video. I must say, if I had saw this video earlier I would have bought D5 even sooner. As an RPG I would say this game is perfect. The level of customization, the steady progression, and simply being rewarded for everything you do makes this game so fun!
