when it's good it's awesome, and when it's bad it sucks. even so i think it gets way too much hate for what it is. in that way it's sorta like a metaphor for the dr series as a whole
it was a fun enough experience for me, though looking back it's inferior to the sequel in, like, pretty much every way. still a great game (and though 2 is more or less standalone, i still think you should play this first too)
didn't age super well. i hate chloe price with everything i have. ending sucks. the usual criticisms. but this game holds such a dear place in my heart i can't bring myself to shit-talk it
does a great job of building nishiki up as a character where the original apparently failed big time. canon wlw character is appreciated by me. majima everywhere is funny. i like shinji, date, and haruka.
