disappointed by the last case, though not for the obvious reason
it shares a lot of the same problems of 2's last case by simply being too expositiony, with long stretches of the trial where i hold my controller in one hand and try to stay engaged.
And sometimes it's WORSE than 2's last case because V3 has a worse investigation segment

And then to address the elephant, I think the hate for the ending of the game is super misplaced.
As far as I can tell, the reason people hate it so much is because they feel it invalidates the rest of the series by saying none of it was real.
However, I think it's MORE than fair to interpret the twist as an alt-universe scenario. Obviously within the world of V3, the events of 1 and 2 were fictional. But to us in the real ass world, Danganronpa 1 and 2 are just video games that came out ages before the twist in V3 might even have been conceived. So who's to say that to us, 1 and 2 (and by extension 3 and UDG) take place in a universe where these events are just part of their own world?

The updated cutscenes make conversations way more dynamic now that it can go from person to person, rather than having to swap out PNGs. Though even then, the panels that show who's talking don't accurately reflect the conversation with size, sometimes giving the biggest panel to a character that's just standing there while two other characters talk from a smaller panel.
And of course the higher resolution is always nice.

I find it funny that people consider this game's ending to be out of left field, when they seem to be hinting at an even more bizarre situation than 2 early on.

V3's first case yet again brings up the discussion of how much the meta aspects of the media are allowed to lie to the audience. It could easily be argued that not showing us any of Kaede's crime devalues the mystery surrounding the murder.

I get that it's for the mystery, but I'm so sick of series playing the pronoun game just so they can keep something mysterious. Like dawg, it's possible to make people talk normally.

I vastly prefer the ending of the first game, since you put more work into uncovering the mysteries of why you're here. In DR2, you put in far less effort for the actual mysteries, just answering a question every now and then in between the game expositing.
Despite being more bombastic than the first game's ending, I found that one to be a more satisfying combination of gameplay and story, especially since the game doesn't put on the kiddie gloves for you.

Strangely, having more of a story is making it more boring, since I can't just go to places and get things, I have to sit there and be told exactly what places I have to go and what things to get and WHY I have to get these things and none of it is straightforward
