Noob Questions :)

[Andrew R]

I got this on PS4 because a. It was only 30.00 and b. I have been enjoying Persona 5. I love it but have a few questions. Is it critical to have played the first games? I can understand what is going on but obviously, there are things that will go over my head. 15.00 on Steam for the others isn't BAD but I can buy 7 or 8 games for that price. Approx how long is the game? Also, I appreciate the devs including adjustable difficulty...

Honestly, it would be a huuuge waste if you begin the Danganronpa series with this one, given it spoils the whole plot of the first game, which is imo pretty good, in approximatively 5 minutes. If you really want to enjoy it, you might be willing to play to the first and second games beforehand, if only to become more familiar with the universe of the game. I'm currently going through the third chapter and I've been playing for around 6 hours ... In normal mode it stays fairly easy, i haven't given a try to the other difficulty level but there is indeed an adjustable difficulty system included :)

I too would strongly advice playing the first Dangan prior to this game.
Hell the second one as well play 1, 2 and then this one

DEFINITELY play 1 and 2 first.

This game spoils a lot from both DR1 and 2. I'd recommend playing those first.

I appreciate the responses.

I don't doubt that the first two are VERY good. My issue is that I have such a backlog of games to play that I may never catch up in this lifetime. :P

You should definetily play the first two games. This game spoils both. This game takes place between first two games. After Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and before Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.

Damn it, the Summer Sale is over. :( :( :(

I would like to AT THE VERY LEAST play the first one...I wonder if the console versions are cheaper?

Like the others said, the first danganronpa game is a must.
You can play Danganronpa 2 after Ultra despair girl, but i reccomend playing Ultra despair girl after Danganronpa 2.
About the lenght of the game, i have almost finished the main story (only the epilogue to go) the game in 17 hours.
But i didnt get all the collectibles or achievements.
The game itself is fairly easy on normal, apart from a few boss fights. If you die the game gives you the option to retry at a easier difficulty.

I would say that most of the enjoyment is from the story and characters.
The combat and puzzles are fun, but the reason you play it is for the story and characters. If you only want a thrid person action game with some puzzles your better off looking somewhere else.

Hopefully this helpt
