"The Hero of the Age..."

The hero of all ages

Yeah, OK. Apparently I watched and favorited it on Youtube before and don't even remember. Thanks!

Also, I figured this would be a good place to bring this up since y'all are knowledgeable about RPGs: I've been playing through demos on my PS4 to make some hard drive space for new games I recently got (I want to find whatever douchebucket decided to put 500GB drives into current-gen consoles and throw them off of a cliff), and played the Disgaea 5 demo yesterday.

I've never played a Disgaea game before and can't remember if the guys ever made a Disgaea video before, but I seem to recall discussion about it. Pretty fun game, even though watching the into video made me feel like the biggest weeb ever. Reminds me of Arc the Lad and, to a lesser extent, Shining Force. I've been hearing Prinnies saying "DOOD!" in my head all morning. Is Disgaea 5 a good place to start, or should I start with the earlier games? Why is there a spinoff PSP game in this series called "Dawn of Operation Panties"?

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Disgaea is a franchise that gets really better mechanically with every version. Basically if you're going to play an early one, do it before playing 5 because it's really hard to go back.

So yeah this game has a real balance problem favoring power weapons

I remember being so excited for the Phantom Pain LP, then Matt left and it took them eons to listen to a tape and the flaccid endgame just kept drawing closer and I couldn't deal anymore.

The other complaints, sure, fine, I get them, but I took as granted that Liam and Pat wouldn't just sit down and listen to tapes, and playing them during the missions is terrible for everyone involved. They tried it, hehe.

God, that's probably the thing I hate most about BB's mechanics, it ends up being very misleading as to the true strength of weapons, and it's easy to forget about since none of the Souls games do that to such a dramatic extent.

Maybe it did, I don't remember DS2 as well as I should given I spent over a hundred hours on it. It's still stupid in any game though, you should be able to pick up a weapon and know how much damage it *really* does without looking it up.

Apparently their single programmer won't be available until February and they're estimating two years of programming, then six months of testing. :psy: so... has work even started on this?

Bojack Form 2 has maybe my favorite Soulsborne boss theme yet (haven't seen or heard the other Old Hunters bosses yet)!? Like it's him, Gwyn, or Astraea probably. Maaaaybe Tower Knight or Sif.

The Pre-sequel had him as a slightly assholish guy who wanted power to try and do good and you got to see Moxxi and Lilith and Roland gently caress him over, betray him (Once for hilariously petty reasons), and tried to kill him and that pushed him to be the angry monster we know and love.

The heroes of Blands 1 are actually the reason everything gets so hosed up. Pandora is where heroes go to die and kill a lot of innocent people.
