dmxratedThese past few weeks since I got the Switch, I have found myself starting over again and again with Disgaea 5 after only one or two episodes, for one reason or another.
In general, gaming, for me, is not all about winning. I actually like to coordinate my playthroughs, and find it pointless just to do whatever for the sake of completing the game. That's why I roll dice to make all kinds of decisions.
Today, my new reason for starting over would be mainly about DLC. After each stage, I try to roll for a double-5 to decide whether to unlock something, but yesterday, I successfully rolled two for DLC, chose a special episode for each, and proceeded to clear them. The first was Crazy Overlord, after which you unlock Priere, and the second was Lover's Quarrel, in which she managed to inflict over 1,000 damage to each target assigned to her, and even one-shotted Sapphire in its last stage. I can already tell that such characters would render everyone else in my party, and the game itself, pointless.
In Pokemon, you can only carry up to six Pokemon at a time, and I liked to mix-and-match each time I visited a PokeCenter. Here, you bring everyone in your party to any given battle, and although only ten characters can actually participate, there wasn't any need to keep track of who does when, because I kept my party small to begin with, and only Red Magnus is much more powerful than anyone else, and even he can die easily under a lack of attention.
Today, I'd also start making a point of not going out of my way to stack everyone together in each battle, only letting others lift and throw for a lack of anything else to do. In fact, I should also look up what combos require, aside from juxtaposition, but at this point, I think I'm just gonna put the game down altogether. Mom suggested I look into taking up jobs on Upwork in order to make some money and allow myself to hire new beta-writers, so that's gonna be my focus at least for this morning.
