Don't buy day 1

[Wesir]

I bought D6 on switch and it ran like hot garbage, been waiting for months for them to fix it and they haven't so I'd hold off on buying this until you know that it works. So glad that I might have to purchase the game for a 2nd time just so I can play it without my eyes bleeding.

Literally no one was asking them to move from sprites to 3d models and they did it anyway and made a game that couldn't even run on the system that most people purchase it on.

D5 ran perfectly when it launched on PC, and D6 only runs poor on switch because it's a 3D title and Switch hardware is outdated. I played the game day 1 JP ver and had no problem on balanced setting.

Ok.

Xenoblade Chronicles looks 100x better than D6 on switch and runs perfectly fine, they built the game for PS5 and just shoved it on switch without bothering to optimize.

No game looks 100x better than D6 on Switch. Even 3x better is a stretch. 100x better wouldn't even be able to run on a 3090.

The switch hardware isn't outdated, Nippon Ichi cut corners with the switch version and didn't properly optimize it.

you weren't using quality mode while docked on switch for one. for two that's only like 1.25x better at best, not 100x.

But if you take art direction into account, then disgaea 6 looks much better than that Xenoblade.

I only played D6 while docked and Quality mode is not usable unless you're ok with a half second input delay for every action you perform, think what you want but their switch adaptation was a piss poor money grab where they threw it on the system knowing it ran like garbage. Xenoblade had particle effects every 2 seconds during fights and D6 couldn't even manage to have static character models on screen without lagging.

no offense dude but if you can't tell how bad the switch version of disgaea 6 runs you're blind lol. It can barely hold 20 fps in the base on balanced mode docked, and thats without 20 characters cluttered together on a large map. Compare it to the playstation version and you'll see the drastic difference in quality. The only real way to play it at a decent speed is performance mode and even then you'll still be dropping a noticeable amount of frames in battle or when doing simple actiions like changing the camera.

I just wish they would say when it will release on steam. at least the specific month. Also next time, make sure that when you make a game the console can handle playing it, lol so stupid

Not sure I can bring myself to buy this a 2nd time to play it with good FPS/performance. It was such a poor experience on switch, and im a diehard NIS fan. Will prolly buy the makai kingdom remake and that'll be it for me if they continue with the 3D bs and removing weapon skills, and all the other stuff they ripped outta the game. Was such a short game and SO much rehashing even then. Definitely the worst disgaea to date feels like they just tossed some garbage together to make a quick cash grab.

feels like this shoulda been a mobile game with the lack of content and auto battle bs

NIS has always been bad at optimization but their PC stuff is also always bruteforceable, which many PCs today are easily capable of.

I hope they continue with the 3D models, more and more games have shown that they're more than match for sprites with the right techniques. Just gotta de chibify them in case of Disgaea, shaders are on point.

I'm buying on Day 1, don't dictate what people can or can't do with their money, OP.

[DiaCrusher]

We'll see, it releases on my birthday and i technically already completed main story on emulator, so unless it's a terrible port it'll run well, it's not that demanding. Though, i might not be able to buy it to begin with if sanctions aren't lifted here, sigh...

Couldn't they just hire durante who does falcom games porting for them for their own games as well then?

D6 on ps4 performed fine, so it was just a switch issue
