Conversely, when I sit down to play Disgaea on console, I have this weird need to sit there for hour after hour it really has a way of demanding attention on the big screen. At the same time, when I felt like a real fix I could sit down to the thing for hours at a time. Broken down into individual missions with a bit of storytelling before and after, I’d be able to enjoy the experience on the run completing a map on a train trip, and then not thinking about the game again until the next time I jumped on to a commute. I’m not even entirely sure why that is, but there’s something incredibly appealing about having a tactics JRPG of the sheer depth and length of Disgaea on a portable platform. Sure the developers explained that this was a decision they had to make, as the PlayStation Vita version would have forced compromises on the scale of the experience, and Nippon Ichi didn’t want to do that, but I was still crushed, as Disgaea 3 and 4 on Vita demonstrated to me that I do prefer playing these games portable. I was disappointed because against the predictions of many, we were told that there would be no PlayStation Vita version. I remember being very disappointed when I saw the game’s initial reveal at TGS a fair few years ago now. It was a genuinely bigger game, and while bigger doesn’t always make for better, the immense scope and scale of Disgaea 5 did make for a better game. Nippon Ichi managed something truly special with that game it took the whacky, zany nonsense (though nonsense with a purpose) that we had become accustomed to over the previous Disgaea games, and then leveraged the PlayStation 4’s hardware to give the action scale. Probably.Disgaea 5 is one of my favourite tactics games. When will the game be ready for launch? Summer. "Once we have determined the game is ready for launch, we will open a new demo that will require the use of new keys," they say. NIS say they have revoked all the demo keys, without giving a reason or acknowledging these cheeky reports. ![]() Some players say the full game was accessible, though reports around this around hazy and sometimes conflicting. And, people claim to have discovered, futzing with save files in a hex editor could let folks play chapters that were not supposed to be in the demo at all. It's a big coincidence that this comes right after NIS reportedly accidentally let people play the full game, but it does seem to be just that - coincidence.ĭisgaea's 5 demo launched on Tuesday in some lousy promotion, requiring players to sign up with Alienware to get a Steam key. "While working on corrections last night, we came across a new issue that requires additional attention that will take more time to resolve."Īpparently it's big enough that they need to hold it back for. "As beta testing has been ongoing, we have been fixing bugs and issues as they were discovered," NIS America said in yesterday's announcement. ![]() So the demo has been pulled, the game is delayed, and NIS are offering refunds to people who pre-ordered. Another big problem has been that the recent limited-release demo, er, reportedly let people play the full game if they were willing to futz with some files. NIS have delayed the game to an unspecified point in summer, saying they've found a big problem that needs extra time to fix. NIS's strategy RPG Disgaea 5 Complete was due to launch on PC on Monday but oh me oh my that will not happen now.
