Disgaea 5 was announced for 2015 on the PS4 and the whole world was shocked. Absolutely shocked. I had been mulling over creating a Disgaea series catch-all because we're now getting these games on a yearly basis (re-release or otherwise) and felt that there's really not that much new to talk about in individual threads.
That's a horribly backwards way to introduce this thread. How about this:
That about sums up the series.
Hey! Be thankful I didn't make the entire post animated Prinny gifs!
One is okay though.
Dood.
I seem to be more addicted to buying these games than playing them - a new kind of meta grinding! I picked up the DS version a few weeks ago meaning I now have:
PS2:
- Disgaea
- Disgaea 2
DS:
- Disgaea
PSP:
- Disgaea
- Disgaea 2
Vita:
- Disgaea 3
PS3:
- Disgaea (PSN)
- Disgaea 3
- Disgaea 4
- Disgaea D2
Garion if you, like, *wanted* to post a bunch of prinny gifs, I guess that would be okay...
It sure looks pretty!
It would look prettier if they'd let me play those games on my puter. I'm done buying these till they do.
If you want to play the Disgaea 5 from TGS demo follow these instructions: http://gematsu.com/2014/09/get-disga...
For $5? Nah I'm good.
Soo after purchasing Disgaea D2 day one, but never managing really to get into it, I gave it another shot this weekend and got hooked. Any beginner tips and tricks? I just unlocked the item world.
I ended up using the item they give you to leave at level 7 or so, enemies started to get bit hard.
I haven't really 'gotten into' a Disgaea game since the first one. I was hitting NIS games pretty hard at that point(Phantom Brave, La Pucelle) and then by the time 2 came out I was a little burnt out. I sorta got into 3 on the Vita, but stopped after 10 hours or so. I'd really like to get into this one and being on the PS4 might make that happen, I've been looking for experiences to have on the two new consoles and seem to be more receptive to games when I'm on the couch(as compared to my computer chair or on the bed or something with the vita/3ds).

Looks pretty great.
Where's D2? That was the most recent.
I wonder if it was just a bad timing with Bloodborne
Depressing-ish news:
Disgaea 3 week 1 sales Japan: 58,013
Disgaea 3 Vita week 1 sales Japan: 25,127
Disgaea 4 week 1 sales Japan: 79,425
Disgaea 4 Vita week 1 sales Japan: 33,749
Disgaea D2 week 1 sales Japan: 55,443
Disgaea 5 week 1 sales Japan: 22,725Granted, Bloodborne came out this week, so I'm sure that depressed sales for many other games, but this is a sad thing to see.
NIS needs to shake things up but I keep feeling like they won't be around to do it.
(Numbers taken from Media Create sales reports and VGChartz.)
It's depressing-ish, but having played all those games (except 5) I can't say I'm surprised. The quality has tanked since Disgaea 2. Meanwhile they've added TONS of paid DLC, with each pack exclusive to a single game.
So, I'd love for them to turn this around by making a good game with good writing and good VA. I don't think that's going to happen, and it's kind of nuts they've been able to coast like this for so long.

Or the fact that the PS4 has been selling poorly in Japan since its release. Probably a bit of both.
As for the quality of the later titles, I can't judge: I own 2 on the PSP and 3 on the PS3, but haven't played either yet. Loved the first one though.
North America release date announced for D5: October 6th
maybe i will actually get smart and wait for the portable version this time.
So nobody mentioned the Disgea Triple Collection or whatever they're calling it in here? Released today for PS3. Compilation of D3, D4, and D:D2 on 1 disc.
Apparently just the original PS3 releases. No DLC included.
I got a PS4 in a trade for a pinball machine and I was holding on to it only to play D5 pretty much. I really think I would enjoy it more as a portable though, but Will there even be a portable for it to be on? I have a Vita...
