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 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.

Parasite Eve II
Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name. Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.

Sheep
SheepSheep is a combination strategy and puzzle game, featuring light elements of war or battle simulations, built around a wacky story in which space-faring alien explorers from millennia ago devolve into domesticated sheep on Earth. Now their ancestors are trying to round them up by secretly enlisting the aid of two humans (Bo Peep and Adam Half Pint) and two animals (a sheepdog and a pet) through subliminal mind control. Players take the role of the Earthly "herders" to lead the flocks through six worlds with multiple levels, eventually reaching special rendezvous point where they'll be loaded onto UFOs for the trip back to their home world of Ovis Aries. No direct control is exerted on the sheep so players must manipulate objects and obstacles, as well as rely on the strengths of each herder, to accomplish the tasks. Levels have time limits and a minimum number of sheep to be saved from each flock.
