Disgaea Hour of Darkness

[MikeF]

I have this on Pre order and can't bloody wait for it

[Velse]

Borders? 50/60Hz?

Dunno whether to get it on PAL or try and find a rather rare NTSC copy, seeing as I am quite late to the party

[kaisu]

I think i'll go for an ntsc copy.It occasionally turns up on the NTSC forum.Sometimes even cheaper on ebay.I'm no hurry to play it at the minute.

[Popo]

A game that Edge, gamesTM and NTSC-UK all agree on? Wootles

Incidentally, who compsed the soundtrack for the game?

[Popo]

And also is the soundtrack any good? I can see an arranged version for download...

Shit. Look at the prices for the strategy guide on Amazon.

[kaisu]

Did guru not have a link for a strategy guide download not so long ago?

Did she?

Give it a search.

Edit: Here's the link GME gave, but it appears to be dead.

Errrr, liberties! I've put it up here http://www.mitsurugi.btinternet.co.uk/DisgaeaSG.rar

You can buy the book for $20 here:

although i'm hanging on to the chance that Piggyback will do a guide or there'll be a UK version of this book

Chances of a Piggyback guide, I'd say 1/10000000

Chances of this guide...1/10000

Thanks for the PDF though.

I'll have to give this the GAME treatment. Might love it...might hate it.

Edit: ACK! The rar seems to be foorbared for me.

[ryodi]

Thanks for the download Guru. I can't seem to get it to open properly either

[Juria]

Are you using Winrar? If you're not then you'll have trouble as you won't have the latest decompression doohickey.

[kaisu]

It didn't open for me, the first time.download it again?

[ryodi]

I am using WinRar. It might be because I haven't updated it for a while, my verison is 3.0 and the latest is is 3.3.

[nohsa]

cool. I hope it was worth the wait for the pal release.

[Meh]

Borders? 50/60Hz?

No borders, but no 60hz.

Just downloaded it again and it was 7.7Mb this time and worked fine.

[pancho]

No borders, but no 60hz.

Not a distaster on a game of this type by any stretch of the imagination...

[Velse]

True, but one can spend 100hours+ on stuff like this. I think I worked out that if I had played an NTSC copy of FFX I'd have saved TWO DAYS of my life

[Moose]

And so it's finally out in PAL format. First thoughts are, in order: graphics not quite as flash as I'd expected (static backgrounds and Unlimited SaGa style characters-zooming-in-from-left-and-right to say something seem to be the order of the day as far as inbetween-battles bits go); music varying between "Crikey, that's a bit annoying" and "Crikey, that's a bit excellent"; voiceovers in "good" shocker; the geo crystals and bits of the battle map they affect makes it all the more excitingly puzzle-y, which is A Good Thing; surrounding an enemy with loads of your characters and battering the hell out of them simultaneously reaps visually-impressive and shouty combos which more than make up for the static backgrounds bit from earlier; those penguin things that shout "Dude!" while attacking are hella cute; it's a real nice day and I'm inside with the curtains drawn playing a videogame; eek.

I'm impressed.

[Sabreman]

Getting it tomorrow. I can handle optimised 50hz, especially on a slow-moving game like this.

If it doesn't take over my life I'll be disappointed.

[Mr. Pin?]

I was surprised to see the PAL version comes on a CD-Rom, unlike the US DVD.

Why would this happen?

[Ed-E]

Cost-cutting, I presume.

[ryodi]

Amazon.co.uk still haven't dispatched mine yet

Oh, bollocks. My PS2 has a habit of not loading CDs.

Seems nice and fast to me.

[biku]

just curious; what's the borders like and do they just have a dub, since it's on CD.

i'm still going for the US release tho^^

Exactly. And I'm terrified of using CDs in mine, it really seems to be struggling sometimes with them. PS1 CDs are fine, PS2 CDs appear to be dodgy.
