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

I have an issue when the proof of concept shots look worse than their older works. Much worse, at that. The power is there, now it's just "Okay, we're taking the same system, upping the resolution on the sprites, and throwing it on a next gen console." Nippon Ichi is becoming Electronic Arts when it comes to lazy series of games.

This looks like something that should be on a portable system. For $35 or $40. Not something on a next-gen console for $60.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wow, I was giving the environments crap before, but those sprites don't even look very good.

This definitely isn't a killer app to make me want a PS3.

Most amazing jew boots

Well, so far all we have to discuss are cameos and... screenshots. Showcasing graphics. Which look pretty bad.

Maybe if there was some groundbreaking, amazing feature (like team attacks! oh wait), we could have something else to discuss.

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

Or the PSP for that matter.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

They'd better have upped the mana you get from monster kills, or else it seems like this incarnation of Disgaea features more grinding than ever before.

I was speaking idiomatically.

One of my roommates got this with our PS3, and I'm pleasantly surprised. The graphics are about as plain as the screenshots; the game really doesn't take advantage of the system's power at all. Blah blah blah, needs higher res sprites, etc. etc. etc.

What really stands out is the writing. This is far more of a Disgaea 1 style game than 2, which I think is fantastic. The complete disregard for the fourth wall and the clever pop-culture references, as well as the god-tier english cast, really make the cutscenes a hoot to watch.

All in all, not a total disappointment like I feared it was going to be.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
