I didn't realize there was such a complicated watching order to the anime, thank you. This was not nearly as complicated when people were watching as the episodes released, and the episodes were aired in the watching order offset by 3-4 days apart. --- ACAB ... Copied to Clipboard!

Played an hour of UDG, got to the first save point. This game is kind of amazing. If you'd asked me, I would have said that VNs are the cheapest-feeling genre by far, but this game, despite being a third-person shooter and having lavish anime cutscenes, somehow feels infinitely cheaper than D1 and D2.
I also didn't really think of Genocide Jack as a badass ninja? I thought she was just a psychopath who ambushed some guys, not a musou character. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig. Started: July 6, 2005 ... Copied to Clipboard!

A big part of UDG feeling cheap is the handheld origins combined with the genre. From a VN standpoint Danganronpa is an incredibly polished entry into the genre with a super clean and defined look. UDG, on the other hand, has bland dreary environments, and has to deal with the 3D models from a team not used to them on a platform that doesn't take great advantage of them.
Just be glad that you don't also have to deal with the bad framerate of the original, lol. I played UDG on a Vita TV with a PS3 controller, but at that point the game didn't have true aiming since R3 just imitates the Vita slide pad in that setup, so it still felt pretty terrible. I did buy the PS4 rerelease after the fact, but have yet to play that version. --- ACAB ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think maybe it was just Monokuma following the patterns of the first game due to being an AI and not being able to be super creative on its own.

Got to chapter 2. This game is like 50% cutscenes, which I realize is a strange thing to say about a series that's mainly VNs, but when the plot has a more traditional structure with clear villains, and the villains are all annoying children, it's kind of weird.

About halfway through the game, I think (I'm partway into Chapter 3, at least). As far as low-budget trashy spinoffs go, this is playable, but not good.

Up next is the anime, but I don't know where to watch it or when I'll watch it. I won't be talking about it in this topic, but I'll probably make a topic for the third game, whenever I get around to playing it.

Checked because.moe and looks like it's just on Funimation.
Awww, I actually Liked Komaru a lot, but I mostly liked her when she's bouncing off of Toko. As for Toko herself, actively disliked her DR1 but grew to like her a good bit from UDG. Everything else...is bad though. All your complaints are correct. It's a messy game that didn't need to happen that actively detracts from the core property and lore, which is a common theme for the content outside of the main game. --- ACAB ...

Actually, I think the biggest problem with the game, now that I think about it, is the idea of showing the outside world at all. We see literally nothing of it in D1, and in D2, all we see is ten seconds on Jabberwock Island. You can't properly show the world as destroyed as Junko claimed it was, so trying detracts from things.
Also, I forgot to mention... in D1, when Junko and Genocide Jack describe the Tragedy as "the most awful, most terrible event in human history," and that's all they say, it's fine, because they're insane teenage girls. When a grown-ass adult man uses that phrase in UDG like it's the standard way to talk about the Tragedy, it comes off comically, and not in the way I think they intended.

If you get too literal with the whole attorney/lawyer thing you're not gonna find much of anything other than some indie games. Not to say they're bad, but it's not the same.
Will second that the other major series I would recommend after you finish V3 here is Zero Escape. All 3 of those games are also available on steam as well. --- ACAB ... Copied to Clipboard!
