[PS3] I have to buy a PS3 (Disgaea 3)

Yeah, I too love buying 500-euro consoles to play games that look like they should be on PSX.

I mean, not that I don't like sprites, but it pretty much looks like Tales of Destiny that was released ten years ago on PSX. I guess the screenshots are from a PS2 or PSP version? There's no way they can release a game looking like that on PS3. Disgaea does seem like it would be better suited for a portable console (though I personally haven't played it, as I am not a weeaboo pedophile with 200 hours to spare for a single game).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, uhh, what? I didn't say anything about dark glowing action games or whatever, I said it looks like a PSX game (or early PS2 at best), which it pretty much does. No reason to release it on PS3 if they're not using its capacity, especially when PS2 has literally twenty times larger userbase.

It might be acceptable if they released it as a downloadable game for 20 dollars, but 6800 yen for a PS2 game on PS3 = what

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh yeah, except nowhere did I say that (and 'super fancy graphics' is not the same as 'above-PSX-era graphics'). I don't care if it's good or successful or not; I'm not interested in games like Disgaea, but I'm sure it will be a good game for people who liked the previous parts. I'm just questioning their motives for releasing it on PlayStation 3, when technically it looks like it could be done on PlayStation 2 with zero problems, and PlayStation 2 has a much larger userbase so— wait, I just said that, why do I have to repeat myself?

Maybe they have some mystery reason why this needs to be made on a very powerful console with a relatively very small number of potential buyers, but all I see now is those two screenshots (I don't read Japanese), so that's what I'm talking about.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

To be honest, that actually would be a somewhat valid reason, but it's a bit weird to think that Sony would've paid off a small company for an obscure tactical RPG, but did not have the good sense to do whatever it takes to, say, preserve their timed Grand Theft Auto exclusivity, which would literally sell millions of consoles and give them a massive advantage over Microsoft.

Edit: oh hey, now it'll look like I deleted Rotorblade's post, oh well
