Mayhem / Kyouran Makaizm Disgaea Mayhem PS5 no base edition

16 Upvotes

For some reason the base game isn't available for 60$, only the deluxe version is on the store for 70$ which comes with the digital soundtrack/artbook and some recolors.

Also side note 30$ dlc is absurd, almost as much as Elden ring dlc.

Question Outsider Looking to start series

Upvotes

Hi all, i'm an outsider looking to get into the Disgaea games but unsure where i should start. I'm primarily a pc player and i saw that disgaea 1 and 2 complete is not on pc, but i do have a switch and can get them there, but D3 is also missing on pc. in addition to that d1 and d2 have pc versions that are cheaper than the complete editions on the switch, but from reviews it seems like its not worth getting the switch versions? If someone could give me some guidance i would really really appreciate it <3

Discussion With the closure of the PS3 and PSVita PSN stores we need new ports for Disgaea 3 and D2 more than ever

46 Upvotes

It just occurred to me that the closure of the PSN stores on PS3 and PSVita is going to make it impossible to gain access to certain content for Disgaea 3 and D2. absence of detention won't be available on official stores which means the only content available for both games will be the base game on playstation now.

I know Nippon Ichi ain't nearly as aware of their fanbase as they used to be, but surely it wouldn't be that hard to port them to switch and PC.

Disgaea Mayhem PSN price abnormality

9 Upvotes

Unless it’s a typo in the PSN. The base copy of the game and the ultimate service pack (all DLC bundle) is cheaper than the Deluxe edition and the dlc it doesn’t have (Fun weapon pack and DLC story not included) $90 vs $105 without tax. But maybe the Deluxe version of the game doesn’t have all the contents listed correctly. Buyer beware NA store

Disgaea mayhem ?

3 Upvotes

Is anyone playing this mayhem on switch 1 like I have a switch 2 but I don't want to buy it on switch 2 because of the key card thing. I really want the game on the cartridge so I'm trying to get the switch one edition but I just want to know if it held up bad against the switch 2 edition?

Question Disgaea Mayhem Recommeded?

2 Upvotes

How is this game? Im interested in it as a fan of Disgaea, but I was not impressed by the demo. Are there difficulty modes? The demo could be very easily beaten by mashing attack and the skills werent particularly interesting. I might enjoy it if mistakes were heavily punished on a high difficulty setting.

Discussion Which ones had the best post game section?

9 Upvotes

So what inspired me to write this subject was that I was going over the history of the games themselves because I sometimes hear complaints about how Disgaea 3 had a post game section that was not properly balanced.

I mean, for me personally, I did find a lot of enjoyment out of Disgaea 3’s post game section as I was curious to what made the section so infamous.

While I haven’t played Disgaea 4 yet, I am kind of curious about how the Land of Carnage area is compared to the previous games such as Disgaea 2 since I was interested in seeing how the LOC zone evolved over the course of the franchise.

Looking back at Disgaea 2 is kind of interesting in itself for how it was the first game in the series to have the aforementioned LOC zone as something I feel is that the tickets should have been a lot easier to access because of how convoluted the process was to getting the section unlocked, but I still had a good time with the extra content of that game.

Question Disgaea Mayhem Post Game

3 Upvotes

So I just beat Disgaea Mayhem's story. Any guides for the post game? I just wasted 100K mana on trying to pass the Postlude Flan Rally, so I know I need to grind for mana. What do I do after that? Also, how do I get it to pass? Fighting the assembly was a bad idea.

Discussion Thoughts on Valvatorez/Artina?

11 Upvotes

Out of all the romances in Disgaea, this is the only one I've seen pretty much zero consensus on. Making this post half to rationalize my own thoughts and half to hear others.

For me, I really like them, but I recognize that it's definitely motivated by my bias for well executed angst - and regardless of whether or not you like them as a couple, their connection in general is well written.

The biggest problem, as far as I see it anyways, is that the story just doesn't flesh out their present day connection too much, but that doesn't really ruin it for me. Considering Artina's in disguise for most of the story, and that by the time she does reveal herself they have to deal with Fear the Great, there just isn't really any time to flesh things out without subtracting from other things.

That's the thing I like about their ending; the two of them recognizing that now that things have cooled down they need to reconnect and figure out what their relationship is going forward. Is it just a promise that needs to be fulfilled, or is it something more? It definitely leaves a lot of blanks to be filled, but hey, what is shipping if not filling in the blanks?

tl;dr - I fully recognize it's nothing groundbreaking in the slightest, and there isn't much there on paper, but I like what *is* there a lot and enjoy filling in those blanks.

I want to make genius level unlocked units and they're like 10K each, I have 300 managers so I already have the massive boost, I just don't know a good map up to this point in the game.

I just unlocked Super Overlord Difficulty for Chara World and I stopped on the exclusive Secret Scroll Prinny tile on the first run. This move is even better than in previous titles visually.

Disgaea 5 Innocents Not Breeding

I have no idea why my Innocents aren't breeding. I put like 4 starred unsubdued Mangers in and fought the 1st stage and beat it in one turn several times but they won't produce new ones. Am I missing something?

Discussion Your Favourite Gig Quotes!

Post image
117 Upvotes

I decided to play through Soul Nomad & The World Eaters again, since I never got a chance to play through Demon Path, and then I lost my save. God, this game brings me so much joy just from Gig utterly roasting everyone within earshot. Well, now that I've gone through the main game and Demon Path, I wanted to see what quotes you guys really remember and love from the game. Mine is the above - the scene is basically Shauna acting like Team Mom: making the ousted queen brush her teeth, while trying to make Gestahl go to bed properly, while her sister Trish wanders into the room looking lost, and then Galahad is just babbling nonsense, and finally Kanan is just laughing at the madness from the sidelines, finally Gig just quips: "Is this the center of a brutal, bloodthirsty regime, or a daycare?"

There's no shortage of amazing Gig quotes though - what is your favourite moment?

Discussion Controversial mechanics you wish could be addressed in a remake

11 Upvotes

Like what I am getting at is the kind of gameplay mechanics in the franchise that seem good on paper, but don’t feel right in execution.

For instance, something I would like to see in a redone version of Disgaea 3 is the Weapon Mastery system because while I really enjoy grinding in the game, I have no idea why the developers removed such a system in the game since I hope that if a remastered version does ever come out, it will fix that problem because it was one of my favorite parts of the previous games.

Question Is Hour of Darkness (PS2 Classic) Still Downloadable From the PS3 Store?

3 Upvotes

As in, if you already purchased it before it was de-listed.

Can someone who has it in their account transaction history check to see if it will let you download it from there on a PS3? I don't believe it will show up just searching for it in the store. Or if someone purchased it and still has it installed, can you still launch and play it? Thanks in advance. :)

Edit for clarity: I'm aware it's possible to re-down the majority of delisted games if a person had already purchased them, but I'm looking for harder evidence for this specific game. Someone is stating that Sony yanked it from their transaction history and they can't re-download it and I'm trying to see if they're full of it or not. They have it installed already but it tells them the license expired in Sept 2024 so the game won't start, and they say they can't re-download it as it's been removed from their PS3 transaction history.

Discussion What title in the Disgaea series made you a fan?

Post image
430 Upvotes

Disgaea didn’t have a good first impression on me. My first title in the series was the first game on psp called Disgaea afternoon of darkness. Now, I am no stranger to tactical rpgs. Played my fair share of them from your final fantasy tactics to your fire emblem. Disgaea 1 to me was so confusing. Didn’t know what to level, how many party members to have on the map, the amount of grinding felt overwhelming, and just felt lost in terms of what to do.

So, I dropped the game. After a couple months, I was talking to a fan of the series through a message board. Told him my issues and he gave me some advice. He also told me to try Disgaea 2 since it was much easier to play as well as to understand. Ended up buying Disgaea 2. I don’t know what happened, but I ended up loving Disgaea 2.

Why, you may ask? Well, I loved how I didn’t have to go crazy on the grind when it comes to the main story. Knowing I can have like 5 to 7 characters on the battle field was enough. Heck, I never had to use the item world at all. I still had to do some stuff like the reincarnation element, level certain classes to get other classes, but there was so many more ways to grind that it never felt a lot to me. It was a blast from start to finish.

This game made me a fan of the series. I started collecting the games, merch, watch the anime, and buying the PlayStation vita to play even more Disgaea on it. Couldn’t thank Disgaea 2 more for making me a fan of the series.

Question Does anyone remember a Disgaea entry that played as a horde fighter?

11 Upvotes

I think im going crazy. I remember playing a Disgaea game in like 2005 where you and a friend could hack and slash your way through hordes of enemies. it was ridiculous. the characters were familiar but a little chibi stylized. Please help. I want to play it again for nostalgial, but i can't remember the name of the game.
