    So it seems I'm the only person who bought this? Anyone else pick this up. So far, I'm through the prologue (managed to avoid spoilers so far) and I'm finding the story's just as compelling as the other games (although the shooty sections are kinda ehh so far).

    Any impressions?

    I'd be playing this if the LE from NISA had shipped, but apparently I'm going to have to wait. Really excited for when it finally does arrive.

    I've gotten this two days early in Europe and while everyone else has been going nuts over the new MGS, THIS has been the game i've been looking forward to for a while. I just love the Danganronpa series, the wacky stuff that goes on is like nothing else. Anyway, I also just finished the Prologue and I'm really impressed so far. The style and presentation that comes with this series is just so fantastic. The shooting works way better than i'd thought it would. Very RE4 inspired.

    So in short, absolutely loving it. A welcome addition to the series.

    I knew about this, but I wasn't intending to pick it up. Danganronpa 1 and 2 are amazing, but I don't know if I really want to play a shooter in that same style. I guess my main concern is how much story content there is and if it's up to the standard of the mainline games. After all, hearing about P4A, I'd pick it up in a heartbeat if I had a PS3, even though I don't care about fighting games at all.

    What do you think of the story so far? Is it interesting in the same way that the main games are? Are there good characters and social content like the DR1/2 free time? I think it'd be pretty cool to see Danganronpa characters in 3D, if the story holds up. Also, can you play with Japanese voice acting + English subtitles?

    What's the like likelihood of them doing a quicklook for this? Probably 0% chance right? Seems like Patrick was the only one who cared about this series, though Austin did manage to put it in his latest Friday sum up.

    I really enjoyed the first two games, but that was mainly due to the class trials. So I'm on the fence about this one, hence I've still not picked it up.

    Looking for some positive reinforcement from this thread before I do...

    I think they gave up trying to record Vita games, so basically 0% yeah.

    I plan on picking this up at some point but thanks to a bunch of other games coming out at the same time I'm waiting a bit before picking it up. I haven't heard anything about how good the action is but the story is apparently still pretty good.

    I'm definitely gonna pick this up once I'm done with MGSV. Loved the first two games, so I'm looking forward to being back in that universe again. The gameplay looks decent enough, but I'm there for the story and it sounds pretty interesting.

    They quick looked Persona 4 Dancing All Night on Vita (on a PS TV actually). This game is also PS TV compatible, I believe, so there's no technical problem stopping them. Unfortunately I just don't think they're interested; they didn't talk much about DR1 or DR2, for example. I think Patrick Klepek was the only one who ever played it, and also perhaps Vinny mentioned it at some point (I remember some joke about it being called Dragon Grandpa).
