I first bought and played this game after enjoying the demo of the 5th game of the franchise on the vita. - The anime comedy - gold - Pixel art/animation - Gold - Gameplay - Tactical RPG classic/Gold It's definitely one of the more unique entries in the series, but is still loved and aged well by those who enjoyed it. The fact this game is not on PC like it's sibling titles is outrageous.

I've been a fan of this series since the PS2 era... oddly enough this one has eluded me by a long time. Would be great it it were available again outside the PS3/Vita.

It was one of the first ever games I played on the ps3, It’s a childhood favorite of mine, sad to see it was never ported over to pc. I wish there was a way to preserve disgaea 3 and its dlcs along with its siblings

Disgaea 3 while not my 1st disgaea game is THE 1st disgaea game I have completed! I enjoy the cast of characters, the music is very unique to the game itself, and the amount of postlude, and dlc characters makes this game massive and super lovable. This is a game I’ve been waiting for to have a complete re-release but it has yet to happen! So please if there’s any real way to bring this version of the game back please make it happen I truly love this game and it made me a bigger fan of the series as I have been since 2012.

Cool game and the only mainline DIsgaea that isn't on PC so they should fix that but the purple Prism Ranger says the T-slur so they should probably not put this on my PC actually

This was my first game in english it helped me a lot to learn the language, me and my brother played it a lot we still have our two copies of the ps vita version. I'd give anything to being able to experience this game again on a better hardware, especially since almost every other disgaea is playable except this one :c
Its only on ps vita and ps3 and that's simply inappropriate at this point. Its only on ps vita and ps3 and that's simply inappropriate at this point. Its only on ps vita and ps3 and that's simply inappropriate at this point.

This must be the best Tactics RPG, it has humans and creatures that can progress and evolve, the story is quite cool and it has a HUGE post game! you could play this game for so long and always having a cool adventure

This is one of my favorite stories in all of the disgaea series. It had a great mixture of humor and I even had a moment of shock about what happened in a certain chapter. I miss this game so much. I still hold out hope that one day I'll have it on PC with the rest of my collections. So I can marathon the series.

Neverwinter Nights 2
Neverwinter Nights 2Neverwinter Nights 2 (NWN2) is a computer role-playing game set in the fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms, one of the popular campaign settings of Dungeons and Dragons. It takes the player from the tiniest of villages into a sweeping tale of danger and war, chronicling their rise from a peasant to a full-fledged hero of the Realms, defending it against one of the greatest threats of the age. Build a character that suits your style of play - good or evil, chaotic or lawful, with any number of skills, feats and professions available at the click of a button. Whether lobbing fireballs and researching forgotten spells as a powerful Wizard, hacking a trail through legions of orcs as a Fighter armed only with a battle axe and your courage, or taking on the role of a Rogue that can slip into the shadows at a moment's notice and take the purse from even the most perceptive of guardsmen. Choose your alignment, your allies, your companions, and how you want your character to develop... design the character you want, role-play the way you want, and carry the battle to the enemy. The design aspects of Neverwinter Nights 2 don't stop there, however. Past the campaign included with the game itself, Neverwinter Nights 2 also gives you all the tools you need to build your own modules, campaigns, and adventures for your friends - move buildings, terrain, script encounters, write dialogues, create quests and items - everything you need to create an epic adventure of your own is included in the toolset for you and any other worldbuilder to use.

Neverwinter Nights
Neverwinter NightsNeverwinter Nights (NWN) is a third-person role-playing video game and is set in the fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, with the game mechanics based on the Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition rules. The game engine was designed around an internet-based model for running a massively multiplayer online game (MMOG), which would allow end users to host game servers. The intent was to create a potentially infinite massively multiplayer game framework. This game was named after the original Neverwinter Nights online game; the first ever graphical massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), which operated from 1991 to 1997 on AOL.
