Disgaea 5 Review: Destroying Villages With A Button Press

Ойындар

Start to finish, a pure hit of dopamine that's sure to please.
I figure some might be expecting some criticisms but I wound up not agreeing with a lot of common critiques of the gameplay. Initially when I started writing the review, sure, but I clocked a lot of hours in and ended up seeing this game for what it really is. It has a lot of hidden depth and the inability to see it at first can be frustrating. There's a sense of "Are these really my only options?" but it gets better provided you can piece everything together.
I guess my only real complaints are that the game isn't completely open about it's gameplay loop.
I love this game, so if you've slept in it, definitely check it out.
Here's the list of goofy evility descriptions:

Keep in mind that the Steam version fixed a lot of these translations, but also created atleast one of it's own that I noticed during play.

    In terms of Disgaea 6 my opinion can be summed up with a conversation “Why isn’t there anymore map wide skills” “Idk” “But we did introduce a unit who has a skill of which’s range expands indefinitely” “Why would you do that instead of just making a map wide skill?” “We were just in a silly goofy mood.”

    How to improve Disgaea 5 story in 3 steps 1: show, don't tell. Like in the last chapter, a demon yells that angels are attacking... No, shows us the angels killing the crap out of the Lost! 2: change Void's motivation from "I want to resurrect muh sister" to "The carnage guys are going to fucking kill us and my plan is the only option to kill them" 3: have a prinny killing Seraphina. Multiple times.

    When I think about it, Killia is this bizarre fusion of Adell and Rozalin, but with way worse handling of the whole "evil alter ego" part of their characters. In 2, Rozalin being the real Zenon was a great twist , and the way they handle it was equally great. When Adell shuts up the real Zenon with a kiss, that feels fucking earned as hell because of their relationship that develops over the course of the entire story. Best couple in the franchise. But for Killia it's so....lazy? His "killer instinct" goes out of control when he thinks Seraphina dies, he loses control again against Bloodis, and then after that Killia just....gets over it. Huh? That shit is super rushed and makes no sense. It's not like Zenon being a sealed up part of Rozalin's personality that could reasonably be influenced by spending the entire game with our heroes, this thing is his killer instinct going wild, where he has to concentrate all the time to avoid letting it loose. How the hell did he just get over something that fundamental to him as a person? I still like the story and the characters in this game, but above all else Killia's "development" in the story is its worst aspect to me. Even if him getting Avidya Holy Water as a result of it is a sweet payoff in terms of gameplay. Of course the gameplay is easily the best it's ever been in the franchise. There's so much customization and options available to the player it's unreal. Revenge Mode, Overload Skills, Squads, Subclasses, Curries, Netherworld Research, and that's just the new shit in addition to all the other staples in the franchise. And monsters are arguably their most useful here except maybe D4 since they finally have weapon mastery and can throw people now.

    I actually liked Killia's development because it reminded me of the relationship I had with my ADHD once I found out about it. I just did my best to snuff it out and didn't come to terms with it until much later, which is what allowed me to work around it in productive ways. Killia isn't just magically done with his killer instinct, it's going wild because he's denying it. It's a part of him and he's leaving it out on the bench pretending it doesn't exist. However the game does do a terrible job of conveying that sort of side to it however because it's something I only noticed this time around, when I was thinking about the game and not playing it.

    Disgaea 5's plot is a B-Kung Fu movie that didn't double down on the premise enough. Many of the plot beats follow those kinds of films, but, enough effort is never really spent to build the world up, and it gets diluted by the kinda weird, interplanetary, overlord drama backdrop. I believe that the removal of the recruitment skits from Disgaea 3 and 4, however minor they may seem, was actually a pretty major contributor to this dilution of setting. Also not helping is its conflict with Makai Kingdom's establishing of lore, which, for one reason or another, is the view of the NIS-verse that seems the most popular with fans. Myself included. Also, for everything the main game did well mechanically, Disgaea 5 has earned my eternal enmity for ruining monster recruitment, and apparently being the model future games will follow. Along with the early game item world dive, one of the absolute highlights of Disgaea is coming up with a patented, brilliant plan to bring down the lowest level Rifle Demon, or Skeletal Dragon, or whatever senator by chapter 3. But, apparantly, the game is perfectly fine and well balanced if the player can grind up to Sage before chapter 2, but Eryngi need to be kept under strict lock and key, amirite? Petty rant of a monster lover over.

    They basically made monsters as much of a pain in the ass as normal characters are to get in 4. I don't know why. I want to play the game with the cool new characters and my personal favorites, not be roadblocked into stupid shit that the devs decided to put into the game for whatever reason. I'm not a fan of monster recruitment either. I didn't use monsters that much so I wasn't too sure what a "feeler" was initially. I think that letting you recruit them after you see them is fine, so why change it from that? It's not like monsters are overpowered. If anything I think they're too weak outside one or two of them and the ability to magichange them, which is more of empowering another unit and not fixing the inherent issue that the monster just isn't strong on it's own. I also don't like how 4 and 5 trample on the pre-established lore either. Fans trying to remedy the bad writing by tying it to other games by saying things like "Overlord Zenon is from Cryoblood" just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Disgaea 1 and 2 are fine, and connecting 5 to them just tries to drag them down with it. I also really missed character recruitment skits. Not only because it gave me a lot of material to work with, but because they were great and made me want to make one of every unit.

The PS2 games have so much love behind them and I'm excited to see them get more attention. Initially I was excited to see Disgaea 6's graphics. The reveal made them look better than they really were, as I'm a fan of that sort of aesthetic. Gameplay wise I'm not a fan either. I'd definitely put it on the lower end of the scale. I wasn't angry about it, just not interested enough to continue.

    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".

It tricked me at-first given a few weird early game choices. But as the game went on, I developed a soft spot for most of it. I'm really happy they made Chara World a board game tho.

    Picked up Disgaea 1 because I wanted a Strategy game, thought "XCom is pretty cool, maybe I'll try that new Mario Rabbids game." Went to GameStop, was looking for it on the shelf, and I scanned over Disgaea 1 Complete for the switch. I thought "this must be a sign". So I asked the person at the counter if they had any copies of The Mario game. They did. So I grabbed one and went home to play it. Hated it. Remembered Disgaea 1 on the shelf. Opened Steam and bought Disgaea 1 PC. I'm gonna be honest. I had to force myself through the first 15 hours or so. And thank God for the writing and voice acting. But eventually, I wanted Flonne to learn some attack spells, and while I was building her up to be a real unit, something clicked, and I actually started enjoying interacting with the games systems. If the sequels lean more into that side of things, I think I'll be pretty happy with them (and I already bought all but 6 and 3 since they were like 5-10 dollars each during the Steam Sale)

    When i saw the flashback were Lion GF dies, my mind went: Im sorry, i think we've been there before, have we been there before? -Flashback to Elise death in FE Birthright- Oh my God we've been there before! Heck, even their names sound similar.

    When doing research I stumbled into a claim that Disgaea 5 rips off multiple anime that I've never seen before. It's possible that they are inspired by/copying the same material.

    ​@@Mint_Condition to be fair to D5, Fire Emblem Fates was released after it. i just found funny how similar both situations were.(including the fact both Killia and Corrin were adopted into the respective families.) i don't think D5 story is the worst thing ever, heck, the game i mentioned has 5 times worse, but it does reeks of cheesy Fairy Tail trash anime. (Goldion should cancel Void's Crunchyroll subscription.)

    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.

    That's just my type of humor. These jokes exist outside of 4chan and within some of the other communities I am in/was in as well. It's not like I don't browse the site, infact I will admit to having posted my work there on more than one occassion. But I've also posted my work on Reddit. Am I catering to Reddit too? I wouldn't say I'm catering to anything, as that implies I'm intentionally putting these jokes in for someone else. I'm putting them in for me. I like Sam Hyde's work and I had this real drive to make that scene as it was incredibly accurate to how I actually dealt with Void Dark. I knew it was going in before I even started editing. It was a month long commitment and not some whim I had like "Maybe I'll put this in for 4chan." It's not like I've never posted my stuff there, but I'm not going to make stuff for other people because that's simply not fun. If I cared about catering to people (I assume to get views?) I wouldn't be doing it to 4chan, and I wouldn't be reviewing niche games that most people don't know about.

    you forgot you have to switch the language to japanese and that in all other games you have to turn off voice acting lest half tards who do flones voice and others will rape our ears with near 30 khz sound waves. disgaea 4 had the best story .2 had the only proper alternate story. 1 had the most endings. 5 seems like its got the most broken stat progression. same rarity bonus on gold named items which get thrown at you for going to the hospital or clearing floors on the item world (the reward for clearing in any number of runs x number of floors which all is pre 50 floors mind you) when leveled only to 10 and then used on 1 character give enough to push them to 1k atk. so here i am main story its level 20 somethings against my lvl 40 mc with 1k attack. i should be level 150 or so before i get 1k attack

    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.

    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.

    I didn't enjoy it enough to continue. Some people enjoyed it, but I haven't played it much outside of the streams I did when it released in Japan. There are a lot of positive reviews of it in the english speaking community, which is weird to me because from what I recall the game had some pretty tough critics in Japan, who are normally pretty reserved. I probably would have liked it more if I played through it all the way, but I would definitely put it on the lower tier of Disgaea games. Potentially even at the bottom.

    Well, when I was born there was a certain alignment of the stars. The heavens were parting in anticipation of this event. Millions of years in the making as the perfect arrangement was made, all so that I could be born at this very moment and be born of a certain temperament.. a certain destiny. When I was born the doctor uttered under his breath "star child.." and tried to have me aborted in post. Fortunately, my mother knew better. It had been foretold to her that a boy would be born on "that day" (my birthday) and that he would be able to communicate the language of the ancients, a forbidden tongue which allows natives to speak "those words". Forbidden words which can destroy entire nations at an utterance. Without even expending a spell charge I can cast Power Word: Kill, just because god allowed me to.
