His name is GoGo and he's a super muscley dude that wants to become a true gentleman.
I don't know what else you'd call that, it's like saying Sakura wasn't three or four Street Fighter characters mushed together.
Coincidence?

That's one crazy coincidence for a Danganronpa game. Hasn't each one had at least one pretty explicit Jojo reference?

I'm with you on this. There's no way in hell that's just a coincidence.
BOO I HATE YOU.
Need to find a mom and pop shop where I live so I can get it and start over the weekend.
1) There's already been a character who's a Jojo reference
2) I already know all the spoilers, and while I don't know much about Jojo other than what I've seen others talk about he's not a Jojo reference.

Speaking of Gonta, did he always refer to himself in the third person in the Japanese version?
A friend in Canada got his copy before I even got my review code. I've never been so mad in my life.

HQ audio dlc available?

Haven't really read the thread because I'm so afraid of spoilers. How's the Vita version compared to the PS4?
AFAIK the main negative is that you'll need to download a (free) big DLC to fix the voice quality, because they couldn't fit high-quality audio on the cart. Other than that, PS4's gonna look prettier, but Vita is fine.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Not out yet.

Yo, reviewer for Rely on Horror here. As Imentio ed in my review, DRV3 is longer by half than DR2. According to my save files, DR1 and 2 took me 24:38 and 41:11 to beat respectively, and that's going at a casual pace while experiencing every possible FTE and bonus scene I could. Comparatively, DRV3 clocked in at 59:42, and that was playing at a slightly accelerated pace to get it done for the embargo. I got a few of the bonus scenes but not many, and only managed to finish 3 and a half characters' FTEs.
Vita for me. I have all the other games on there so it just wouldn't feel right playing it anywhere else.
My wife found and bought this for me the other day. I don't know why it exists, but I'm glad it does.
super cuuuute! i've had mine for a few years now so it's starting to show how worn it is but this is mine, i love it. http://puu.sh/xFTlU/fe75904eed.jpg
i really should try to find another online if possible.
i shamelessly carry this bad boy around when i need to lug stuff around too lmao

"A new killing game with begin again"
Yeah that was pretty noticeably bad. Almost feels intentional XD
Anyways, this game is starting on a pretty high note. Really like everything about it so far. Just barely started Ch1 and 3 hours have passed by (of course I'm exploring every nook and cranny as well as slapping everything on sight XD
I'm trying to clarify this with NIS because I'm not totally certain, but I think the problem isn't this, but that the Japanese track isn't included by default. I'm playing the digital version of the game, and currently I can only access the English voices (where as the PS4 version has both).
In terms of voice quality, I haven't noticed anything lower-quality about what I've been hearing (but admittedly I've not been using headphones).

There was a DLC in the Japanese version for higher quality voices. Did you have any problems with the demo audio?

It' just like the last 2 main games. Some lines (important ones) are voiced, while the rest is just dialogue with a few small voice dialogues.

Do I need to play the first 2 before this one?

Im a bit confused when it comes to this. It's the only reason why I haven't bought the game yet, still deciding between vita or PS4.. but that 60 dollar tag on consoles Bruh.
The class trial sequences are fully voiced, while the other sections have small bits of voiced dialogue.
I didn't actually get a chance to try the demo, so I can't compare them. And now that people are mentioning this, I'll use headphones to give a better listen to the English voices when I play today. The big thing I noticed was that there was no Japanese audio period on the digital Vita version I have, so that's why I thought that might be what the DLC would be for. (And I've been trying to avoid reading much about DV3 on the Japanese side to avoid spoilers, so I wasn't aware they had any sort of audio quality download.)
No, he talked normally. The Tarzan speech is an 'addition' to his character... It's pretty bad...
Play at least the first one before this one.
I don't really recall anything that made me think asspull in 2, but it has been a while. 1 on the other hand I do remember the end being a total asspull.

So my local GameStop broke street date on this game.
I am going to try and snag the vita version on the way home.

As someone who only really loved 2 and is super jaded on the DR series' overarching direction post-2 (and not just DR3 but the expanded narrative in general), how much would people that have played V3 guess that I'll enjoy it?
Yep. 1's ending and its load of twists required a lot of willing suspension of disbelief.
On the other hand, my friend who is playing 2 right now managed to guess (though I obviously didn't spoil him on if he was right) the endgame twist after the first chapter. It's crazy how much subtle foreshadowing there is in DR2 that I didn't catch onto at first - there's even instances of foreshadowing going on within several sub stories. I only just realized that

the inconclusiveness of The Wizard of Monomi, something that was brought up as a big plot hole in chapter 3, becomes ironically followed up on throughout chapter 4 and no one notices it.
DR2 is my favorite game in the series and I'm honestly pretty disappointed in how the game played out. That said, I actually like DRAE (which I'm assuming you're including) more than DR1, so maybe you'll disagree.

It is £50 in the UK which seems insanely high (for Steam). Other than maybe CoD, I don't recall seeing many games at that price, stuff like PCars2 and Shadow of War are £45
How much is it for those of you in other regions? Normal price or higher than usual?
That's pretty strange for a gamestop to do
I wonder if all gamestops will do this? Last time I've heard of gamestop breaking street date was for Tomb Raider Definitive and that was because they got the go ahead from Square iirc

I mean it was sitting out on the shelf to buy when I walked by at lunch time.
Maybe the register will stop me.
He's voiced by Jonathan Joestar too

I was expecting that price from NISA after Ys VIII.

Just play 1 and 2. Ignore the anime and spinoff TPS.
