Disgaea 4: “100%” “Nothing New, But Still Brilliant!”

Anyone who says this game is all the same as the previous one and brings nothing new has obviously not played it. There is plenty of new stuff to master on top of all the returning stuff.

Hell, why am I on here when I could be playing D4?

How can you say the graphics are "awful"?
Surely they are "awesome" for not trying to be as pretty as other, not as good, jrpg's on the market.

Disgaeas (Disgaeii?) don't come along to often, so there is something to be said for giving the people who love them exactly what they want without trying to change it up and destroying it in the process.

I can understand if it's not peoples' cup of tea, but not giving any other games or genres the time of day because it doesn't look like your idea of epic is damn ignorant and retarded. How many people were waiting for Duke Nukem Forever for years on end? Disgaea's appeal comes from its 2D and its plots have enough angst and humor to keep me playing. Despite the setting, the game could be very serious and messed up if it wanted to be. If you play Soul Nomad you'd know. It's different and all the better. Haven't played since 1 so a lot of this stuff is hitting me all at once, but I'm having fun learning it all. And yes, I was the only one who was at the midnight release for D4 while everyone got Dead Island. Don't get me wrong, I do plan on playing it, but I somehow feel a little proud knowing after they hype is done, a lot of people are going to be trading it back in after a 3 days or a week, barring the game isn't as short as lots of stuff is these days.

Oh yes, But isn't that why we all go back to these Haradaya games?? The sprites, comedy and constant grinding and crying when you get your first level 100 character?? Yea, they can take my money anytime!

I like Disgaea but i DO think that N1 could have put a lot more effort into the animation department. HD is well and nice but the sprites still move like they did years ago.

Why bother with the picture if you ca hardly read the words?

I've only played the first Disgaea and in a lot of ways it felt lacking. Are the sequels better about that?

The game-play is still the same, has it's own story, and the graphics are greatly improved. I would know this because I bought the game on it's release date.

iv never been a disgaea fan, iv tried 1-3 but never got into it =/

i may pick up 4 when its cheap at gamestop none the less xD

Wow Im noticing alot of people on Sankaku dont like this game
Well I dont give a fuck about them
And I dont give a fuck about the reviews or graphics
Im just gonna play it for the characters

Graphics don't always make a game and 3D does not always mean it's better than 2D. For Disgaea, the simplistic sprites are characteristic to the game and deviating too far from that would be sacrilege.

Really starting to miss those good old 2D sidesrolling beat-em ups...

Awesome can't wait get it.

So now they love "sexualized young girls"?

YOU FOOLS!!

Each of you, take a Sardine in hand!

Idiotic review is idiotic--as are some of the people commenting. The Disgaea series brings you complex and addictive SRPGs beyond all others. Disgaea 4 is clearly no exception. The main story, which has been sufficiently lengthy throughout all games, can even be satisfying enough. And if you want to go hardcore, there is so much more to do.. It's scary, lol. Clearly, this review is bs and I highly doubt the person played any of the previous titles long enough to realize Disgaea 4 DID bring a lot of new features to the table. I'm quite enjoying the storyline, thanks, but again, ignorant review.

My favorite complaint from non-fan, "gamer" critics is when it comes to graphics. That gets old, and is a very flawed argument. Not only does Disgaea 4 have nice, polished 2D sprites/graphics, but that's JUST what you need for these kinds of games. THIS IS A TACTICAL RPG, dumbasses. You NEVER make it completely 3D models. Remember the good-ol-days when you'd play the rather epic Fire Emblem titles on GBA? Yeah? Well, now the Fire Emblem series is a piece of crap ever since the Gamecube and Wii games... With fully 3D models, it was not only atrocious gameplay, but it was also awkward. It DID NOT work. Tactical RPGs should always stick to HD 2D sprites/models and primarily top-down perspective. Isometric graphics are a must in this genre. On a side note, you don't play chess with your face on the board, examining the pieces full 3 dimensional depth, do you? Even if "good graphics" was of concern, I would think that's more a bonus to a game, not a necessary trait to determine a game's epicocity.

But really, that's the issue with "gamers" these days (quotes to denote sarcasm and discredit them being real gamers). They're so bent on supremely superior 3D graphics that it becomes their only determinant for purchasing games. What they get, more often than not, is crap. Shit games with shitty gameplay and shitty plots. They're drawn to pretty, shiny things like four year olds... That's today's generation of "gamers". Mainstream isn't necessarily bad, but in many cases, because the majority of customers are dolts, mainstream games are shit. (Refer to Halo, Call of Duty...any FPS.) It's good NIS doesn't listen to non-fans and keeps it's 2 (2.5?) D graphics. Had they chose to change that, majority of their passionate fanbase would turn away from it and stop buying..And NIS can't afford to lose those fans. I really doubt people would stop talking shit and enjoy Disgaea games even if that was changed. It needs to remain for the fans and for the company itself to survive. Disgaea IS a quality game series and the greatest strategy RPG series ever, no doubt, and that's that.

Games pissing me off, requires 3.66 or above .... fuck that i love my cfw :(, having to wait to torrent a patched eboot of a game i fucking bought so i can actually play it is beyond obnoxious.

Too bad. Some generic characters didn't get some remodeling though.

Still keeping the old looks for nostalgia.

I WANT TO BE A PRINNY... IF I CANT I WANT THE HAT...
