Playing Heavy Rain now. This is almost as tedius and boring as Shenmue. I hope it gets better soon.

Is Disgaea D2 basically Disgaea 5?  Why give it an obscure number like that?  Surely some inside joke lost on us outsiders.  Or is it Darkness 2 because it's a sequel to the very first one?

This is up there among the top series of number of games bought vs played.  I think I have 6.  Played 0.  I started the PSP version of the first one but it just seemed too dense.

I've been meaning to give it another go.  Probably a good thing to play after GTAV is wrapped up.

2DS is only $148 down here.  Thinking of getting that and Pokemony.  Choices are white face with red back, or black face with blue back.  Thoughts?

I like the red and white, but think black will be more practical.

And here I thought I was playing Valve's latest game, released in July.  Or you could check out Counter-Strike GO from last year if you wanted an FPS.  Unless by software, you meant Half-Life.

That's exactly what I meant.

Valve do make software. It's called Steam.

What is this shit about Valve not developing games? This generation (since 2006) they have developed:

• HL2 Ep. 1
• HL2 Ep. 2
• CS: Global Offensive
• Team Fortress 2
• Portal
• Portal 2
• Left for Dead
• Left for Dead 2
• Alien Swarm
• Dota 2

While consolidating, improving and constantly tweaking the biggest online games platform, as well as developing a fucking OS and entering the hardware arena with some interesting proposals. All with a team that is but a fraction of the manpower of the heavy players around. It's not Valve's fault lots of people only care about Half-Life, a metric fuckton more of people have spent countless hours on many of the titles I mentioned.

On this latest Wii U update, what they don't tell you in that article, is you need the Wiimote to play the Wii games might as well turn on the TV....

Disgea 5 has not come out yet, it is in production.  I don;t think it has been re-named D2, I thought D2 was something seperate.

I have all the ones that have been released in the west, played none.  Mrs. Aspro played the first one on DS for over 250 hours.

When NIS announced they were working on a new Disgaea, everyone assumed it was Disgaea 5; it was actually Disgaea D2. It is titled the way it is due to being the direct sequel to Disgaea: Day of Darkness. It's basically Disgaea I-2.

If your wife played D1 for 250 hours, pretty much buy an additional PS3 now, as she will KILL any system with the new one. HUNDREDS of hours guaranteed!

Someone else --MUST-- play these games! I know Steel did a bit, but someone else here --REALLY-- needs to learn the greatness of this series!

Is that IGA?

Iga could never be as badass as Phil Anselmo.

Yes it is...if they never made the game nobody would care about it.
