Danganronpa is cool but mostly if you have a buddy with you who has already played the games so you can say a bunch of shit and they can laugh inside because they know something you don't
I played the games with my bestie watching over my shoulder and he had me make a list at the start of each one guessing who would live or die
It was a lot of fun
3 came out shortly after I finished 1 and 2 and we went thru it together
I don't think I would like the games near as much had I played them on my own
@coriander I watched my younger sibling play it and I was just kind of bewildered the entire time like "this is what this game is like? do the people that play these games even like this because they sure don't seem to talk about it being Like This"
@coriander That said I will fully subscribe to the idea that it's probably pretty good to laugh at with friends
@coriander Like there was an entire like 3 minutes of dialogue about the logistics of how much pepsi a character drinks or something.
@omni Yeah they're very silly in a way that doesn't get mentioned a lot
@coriander @omni it's definitely one of those pieces of media where fandom has influenced people's engagement with it
@coriander @omni i've played the first two and the first few chapters of the first game are an effective thriller while the sequel is more of a mindfucky experiment in narrative subversion
