Disgaea 3 Graphics… on the PS3
It’s taken me a few hours, but I’ve gotten into Disgaea 3. It’s my first Disgaea game, so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. It’s very different from any other RPG I’ve played; it really forces me to use the strategic side of my brain, the side that sucks at playing chess.
However, as much fun as I’m having playing it, I really can’t get over the graphics. They aren’t horrible, but they don’t belong on the PlayStation 3, a console made for high-definition output. This game doesn’t exactly need high-definition graphics; it’s not like it’s a huge adventure through a fantastical world of typical RPG proportions. You mostly hang out at the Academy, bribe class reps to allow your characters to join clubs, and do battle in paneled rooms. All of which further emphasizes my thought that this game belongs on the Nintendo DS or even the GBA. And honestly, with the way the battle system works, it would be SO much easier in the DS format.
I’m not sure why NIS chose the Sony for development, but maybe I’ll find the reasons as I log on some more hours. I really haven’t gotten that far, so there’s plenty of time for the game to change my mind.
