Every Disgaea is a day one purchase for me... They just keep getting better with each iteration.

Plus it doesn't hurt that the games are 10 bucks cheaper than normal games when they come out. Not to mention you're also getting assuredly more playtime out of a Disgaea game than just about any other out there. Have 130 hours on Disgaea 3 and 162 on Disgaea 4.

Are these games really that good ?

I've been hesitant to pick one up because the weird demon stuff and the long animations are kind of a turn off.

On the other hand, they keep consistently getting good ratings for almost every game in the series.

I also like SRPG's and if it plays anything like FFTA2 I might have to get it/them/ one.

They're about the deepest SRPG's you can get.

The stories, characters and humor are pretty standard anime-inspired stuff, but you're almost guaranteed to like the game even if the setting doesn't appeal to you. The gameplay is THAT good.

It's not a steep price for Disgaea 3 or 4 at this point. I say nab one up used and see how you like it (if you can). Though each game has improved in terms of what you can do over the previous. So you might want to just go with D4. It's my favorite in the series actually. Give it a little time to grow on you, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it if you liked FF Tactics! The amount of leveling and weapon/armor upgrades you can do on that game is insane. There's almost no end to it.

Yes they are.

If your unsure you can get Disgaea 3 used pretty cheap now. You won't regret it.

GreenRanger4137d ago

This should be on the Vita too.

Snookies124137d ago

I'm sure it'll get there later on with an enhanced version. That's how NIS are lol.

UltraVegito4137d ago

I agree,somehow disgaea feels right at home on portables.

ayabrea934137d ago

laharl,etna and flonne are my favourite set of disgaea characters so im really looking forward to this :)

r214137d ago

Man, I should really buy Disgaea 4 but i wont. Im waiting for the vita version and we all know its coming, just need to know when. Anyways, I am so looking forward to DD2 :) All the disgaea games have been great!

Linkle and Canon’s Condoning of Rule 63

Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "Sometimes, something happens that makes you realize the people who make games are as big a fans of them as you are. Of course they are, they’re making them after all. But we never image they’re as fanatical about things as we are. Linkle is proof, because with her we see developers following one of the Internet Rules."

Uses dual crossbows, believes she's the legendary hero, and she talks...she's a female version of Link!

Great news: I played the first 2 on PSP, but never played any of these. Hopefully all DLC is included.

MegaRay3262d ago

Hopefully they discount the standalone versions. $40 for D3 (on Vita) is outrageous.

KellyKandy3262d ago

Played these back in the day, i preferred final fantasy.

Yi-Long3262d ago

Kinda different genre, but I LOVE the excellent humour in Disgaea...
