Default [Joystiq]Disgaea 3 Impressions

Quote:
The problem, if you can call it that, is that Disgaea is a series that refuses to evolve, graphically or otherwise. Niida told us in that same interview that the sprites in Disgaea 3 "take 3~4 times the amount of labor to create compared to Disgaea 2," and that the artists were working to improve the quality of the sprites for this latest sequel.

Unfortunately, to all but the most discerning eye, the game remains largely indistinguishable from the previous two games. The sprites look identical to those in earlier titles, if not muddier thanks to the leap into high-definition. The only graphical luster that's apparent is in the various environments and menus, which look much sharper than before, but this polish means nothing when the character sprites don't share the same resolution. There's nothing here that looks like it couldn't have been just as easily accomplished on the PS2, and for fans who have not yet moved on to Sony's latest console, this alone is likely to feel like a slap in the face.

Nevertheless, Disgaea 3 remains an absolutely massive game. With nearly 50 character and monster classes on top of guest characters from previous games, it would be easy to spend more than a hundred hours digging into the game's strategic nuances, from character creation and combat tactics to loot manipulation through the series' famous (infamous?) Item World.
More....

I don't understand why they are bashing the whole look of Disgaea 3. Its great that the devs are keeping it original.

I can see very small improvements, mostly sharper with a bit of better quality. I like the way it looks.

same - I like it when they keep things original. The only time I like it when they change great games is if they pull it off a la RE4.

The look isn't exactly original though is it, that cell shaded look has been done many times before. Remember XIII?

What cell shaded look? Are you looking at the same game as us? Disgaea 3 is a 2D strategy RPG with sprites.
