I review fun games and I shitpost frequently. Reviews should be taken seriously but with a grain of salt when I'm joking. For the most part it's all my 𝔾𝕖𝕟𝕦𝕚𝕟𝕖 𝕠𝕡𝕚𝕟𝕚𝕠𝕟™
There are pirates that (basically) only appear in certain items. For Jolly Pirates that's muscle items. Otherwise the encounter rate is 1% or lower, and the forums are filled with wonky info and people talking about topics they don't know about. Most people don't try hopping into muscles because they don't really help with training, so a lot of people thought they were just a super rare pirate encounter lol.
i think is funny you have 666 likes... thats why im not liking i want to keep it at 666 also just add FUCK fuka to the title, since honestly your hatred of Fuka seems to be the only legit problem with the story honestly
Uhhh... second comment. I just found your patch for the font being bugged.... >.>.... I played the entire game with that awful near-unreadable font. I guess that speaks to how great the game is!
Die hard fan here, loved the video. That said, I'd disagree with the idea that mysteries were left unsolved; their solutions were always heavily implied. Part of why I loved the game is that the pieces were left out for the player to put together - like who Slade's family was, and what happened to his sisters.
Idk why but I thinking hated the blocks... Geo Prisms are back and better than ever. Feels like this is the best game in the series for me cause of a lot of things.
I paid plenty of attention. I played the game more than once, which meant that I knew how things were gonna turn out. Admittedly this sours the experience for me in a way it wouldn't for someone playing it the first time through. I mention that I enjoyed the story the first time through (for the most part) but the biggest issue is that nothing really matters once you know how it all ends with everything kind of reverted. It's a spit in the face for a game that I thought was ballsy for actually killing characters off for once.
Thanks for this blast from the past. I kept thinking over the years how awesome it'd be for the series to be remade in a modern engine. I'd buy that in heartbeat.
I've been playing Disgaea since it came out. I'd say in terms of story D1 is the best but worst in terms of game play. I'd still say that the best Disgaea is D5 despite having Disgaea 7. I liked D4, thought Valvataries rants about the corruptament were great. Got to post game but gave trying to get to land of carnage.
Watching this reminded me of when my boyfriend told me he wanted to pass a "Extort War Funds" (or whatever it was called in D4 to get money from the senate), where it was only a 1% chance to pass. He would have failed it, but he got it passed by getting Fuka drunk.
That's some nice thumbnail, hahah! I remember that moment, Slade was totally ice-cold with just about anyone who dared to anger him. One of the things I always liked about The Way are numerous, fleshed-out characters - even the minor ones had very detailed backstories. And the story itself... I had to beat the game *THREE* times in order to connect the dots and understand what's going on. I can't really tell what inspired Luke to write a story about wanderers constantly on the move through the eponymous world, it seems to be one of a kind. And the author didn't shy away from graphic violence that was uncommon for the genre - people die in sometimes nasty, gruesome ways and no blood is spared. And the horror themes are also frequent - the Phantom Slasher, darkened caves where vicious creatures dwell - you name it. Personally I will remember The Way for being my foray into the genre, I wasn't a big fan of computer role-playing games until discovering this game way back in 2007.
Well, in the instance of this comment I'd start by saying that being round about or indirect is "cringe" and "not kino" and throw in at least three other buzz words so that the target (you) knows they are not "based and red pilled" like me, a true savior of culture.
When you said that the only plot that was worthwhile was 1 and 2, I completely agree with you. NIS seems to always be treading narrative water since Adell and Laharl. I've been playing a lot of Disgaea 7 lately and I don't remember any of the major plot beats, however I do approve of the post game.
After playing the game and coming back to this video, I can 100% say this is a very solid reveiw of the game. Extremely funny to. My only disagreement IS THAT HEXBOT SLANDER!!!! Reaper is my widdle baby of death and I love them.
I'm late to the party so whatever, but the story isn't as bad as you think. You're not suppose to focus on the surface level like you would watching Fooly Cooly, it's the subtext to it. In reality, the story isn't about getting revenge. It's about understanding that you've made mistakes and to learn from them and move on. For Killia, it was really obvious this is what they were going for. A guy trying to suppress the rage he has inside him and atone for his past, but in the end, he learns to accept who he really is . Void Dark has to accept that he was the one responsible for Lieze's death. Red Magnus has to accept that was responsible for his netherworld's destruction. Gideon had to accept that he failed as a father. This was the whole point to why their overload skills would change, once they came to realize this. In reality, the enemy cast was introduced as playable because they figured people would want to play as them but it does mostly make sense storywise.
A story is only as good as it's presentation. There's a manga about a guy who's dad had relations with a dog via force and now he wants revenge, and yet even though it is a complete joke it is better at delivering it's moments with a lot more grace than this. My issue with the story is multiple things all at the same time. It just basically presents things and then does not deliver them, but also does not subvert them well enough for me to consider it good writing or delivery. People want something to connect to. You can't tease the audience forever and expect it to go over well.
On my 2nd playthrough of D2 as a means to multitask while in college lectures - which means I'm mostly playing mute, so I felt that. For me, it's one of those games, like D1, that you end up getting bored and dropping it, just to pick it up on another occasion and have a blast. I'm loving the Disgaea series tbh, even as a tradCath myself.
I find myself completely disagreeing with you on this reviews and I love it. That's what this series is about. "It has a little something for everyone". But no, seriously, 4 to this day is my favourite story and either my favourite or second favourite cast of characters. Valvatorez is top 3-ish protagonist in the series for me, I do not care too much for Fenriz and bow girl but I love like Fuka and absolutely love Desco. Emizel is also pretty cool.
I am under the impression 2 is your favourite Disgaea. Which is fine. It's my second most "hated" just behind 6. I still like it a lot. My point is that if you ask people about their opinions on the series, you will get genuinely oposite responses. So don't hesitate to review 1 or any other Disgaea game. If someone new to the series pick it up, they will either hate it or love it regardless of which game they picked. To us insiders the games might look vastly different story-wise, in terms of mechanics etc. But to outsiders the games wills look really similar and I doubt someone that is prone to liking the series will ditch it just because they played "the wrong entry".
I played the demo of 7 and really liked it though! Contemplating picking it up now or waiting a year for the complete edition to drop. Fun Fact: In Disgaea 2 Adell is voiced by Shiloh Strong the brother of Rider Strong (Shawn on Boy meets world) Another of his other notable VA roles in the JRPG community is Zelos Wilder in Tales of Symphonia. @@Mint_Condition
