What are you playing?

Turns out picking a Disgaea game as your goal for your first Platinum isn't as good an idea as it sounds.

 Disgaea 3 PS3

So, as I mentioned a while back, I only recently got a PS3. Since I knew how much time these games took, and the fact there were two already out and I'd want a break in between them, it was within my starting library.

Now, I had never "FULLY COMPLETED" any of the games in the franchise (ie Maximization). I just never had the time or motivation. I never beat Baal in the first one, and for the second, Phantom Brave, and Makai Kingdom I cheated. A friend lent me a codebreaker so that I could backup my save files since one of my cards died and made me paranoid (which was a stupid idea in hindsight since I can't get them back off my computer now). I decided to take advantage of that, and more or less just skipped ahead to the end content.

For some reason, despite me not liking the actual story all that much (too much breaking of the 4th wall to the point it lost it's humor), I got into attempting it in this one. Fairly certain the reason was I foolishly entered the DLC market and bought it. Knowing you have to get your value's worth can be a hard drive when you immediately regret a purchase. I really do understand the complaints more now on those fronts. Three hundred hours in and I think I've had enough knowing that a few months down the road I'll be doing the same thing. But I at least beat all base content, including Baal, all purchased content, all classes 6th tier, all weapons rank 39 legendary (missing Arcadia) and the Baal Sword, 32 max statisticians, all forms of innocents subdued, and the 100 Mil Damage trophy.

Also beat the first game in the Ratchet and Clank: Future line, and would love to get the others soon as soon as I can afford them (yes, I know they are cheap, but even then...).

Probably going to get back on track now hopefully with the remainder of my library.

Do yourself a favour and abandon that ship while you still can. It's something I've been picking away at for the last year and I'm still not even close.
