[quote name='captaintek3304']Here's a question to those who have played Disgaea 4...I've wanted to get into these for a while, so today might be my day to pick one up. If it drops to say $39.99...would it be worth it to use my $20 credit from FFXIII-2 to pick it up for $19.99? I know most of the hardcore Disgaea fans will say this game is easily worth full price, but for a newb to the series, is $20 a good jumping in point?[/QUOTE]
If you like strategy RPGs, Disgaea's one of the leading games in the genre. The replayability is extremely high, you can easily put 200-300 hours into the game and not see everything. Every piece of equipment can be leveled up, every character has multiple tiers to progress through and there's tons of extra stuff to do beyond the story (unlock Land of Carnage, get all the pirate ship parts, unlock the classes, go reverse pirating, beat the X-Dimension, beat the LoC X-Dimension, etc etc)
They are very heavily influenced by japanese anime, if you hate that style, don't get Disgaea.
The nice thing is, mechanically speaking, the Disgaea games have just gotten better over time. They rarely take gameplay mechanics away, so whichever game is the latest has the most stuff to it. D4's story was pretty good too, but not as good as the first.
For 20 bucks, you're getting a lot of game.
