In D3, murdering you allies grants you a special ending!

Don't know if anyone's as big a procrastinator as me, but Disgaea 4's LE is $35 at Amazon now. Factor in the $10 discount they gave me for botching VLR's release, and I'm finally jumping on it.

Its ok, I'm still on chapter 2.

Also, the DLC will be 50% off on Nov 20th.

I am pumped for that game. And that cover art is fantastic. <3

No secret dudes to pick out from the crowd this time though. Nice to see Angels back, no sign of majins or androids returning, but there's another loli so y'know, yay if you're into that kinda thing.

Can't wait. That announcement finally got me to play Disgaea 1, and I'm about halfway through now and loving it.

For Disgaea 4? I really want the DLC but what if they pull that bundle bullshit like they did with Disgaea 3 (by which I mean they had content exclusive to the DLC bundle).

Betsuni

Ok I have not been keeping track lately. What exactly is this I am looking at?

Dehumanized

It's a direct sequel to Disgaea 1, called Disgaea D2. Back to Laharl as the main character and whatnot.

So if I have never played a Disgaea game before, where would a good place to start be?

blaze_zero

You want to start early in the series if you want the full experience.

It's hard to go back to the older games because of all the improvements to the systems.

Teriferin

Wait, this is a Disgaea sequel?

Well played NIS, well played.

Betsuni

Oh heck yeah! Now I can't wait.

This is very helpful.

Get Disgaea 1. Either the PS2 (Hour of Darkness) or PSP (Afternoon of Darkness) version will suffice. There's also a DS version, called Disgaea DS, which is inferior to the other platform options... but better than nothing, if it's all you've got available. I haven't played Disgaea 4 yet, but consensus seems to be that D1 still has the best story of the ones that've been released, and despite improvements to the game each of them are very much the same type of SRPG without too much variation.

I'll be waiting for it to go portable.

Ok thanks. Ill swing by all the used games places today on lunch and see if I can find Afternoon of Darkness. I dont think I can go back and honestly enjoy a ps2 game.

I replay Saturn games regularly, PS2 ones are just fine.
