I wish they'd just stick to games they are actually knowledgeable about but that wouldn't get them that sick youtube money.

They literally held a poll saying if people prefer playthroughs of games they know, a "guided" one where the player doesn't know but the partner is an expert, or completely blind, and completely blind won by a gigantic margin.

If they felt any pressure whatsoever to play well that might not be such a problem.

I have zero idea why they're releasing the first Disgaea on PC when none of the games have a whole lot to do with eachother and play way better than a game released friggin' 2003.

Because they want people to play the games that came first, as not to be tainted by the convenience features of the later titles. Also, Disgaea 1 is the only one with any semblance of decent writing in it.

I totally get it but I'm just glad nis is publishing their first non poo poo game on pc, quite the contrary, the first disgaea is still a great game that didn't really aged and only looks bad at all if you compare with newer disgaeas, (I never played other tactics stuff so I don't know)

I tried "disgaea torture," "disgaea minigame," "disgaea vagina minigame," and "disgaea controversy" and got nothing either relevant or gross in the first couple results. Just FAQs and wikis about a mechanic for capturing enemy soldiers in Disgaea 4.

1] Idiot teens hanging out in front of 7'11s, KFC, McDonalds, Jack In The Box
etc... Your life REALLY SUCKS if that's the high point of your day...
2] A$$holes who spit on the sidewalk.
3] Drivers who don't know how to use a turn signal. I can reach mine with my
pinky while driving. It's not that hard.
4] Teens with their pants around their a$$.
5] People with personalized licence plates.
6] BMX bikes.
7] People panhandling me. Get a job losers! McDonalds is always hiring!
8] Bums with dogs. I'm sure the dog loves eating cheese from old pizza boxes.
9] The cheeseheads from asia who take a Honda Civic, slap some stickers on it,
put a muffler on it that makes it sound like a riding lawnmower, a ridiculous
sized fin on the back and think they have a formula 1 racer. 'Devastating
Power!' my a$$!
10] The same idiots who then drive their 'hot' civic like they are in the Indy
500 through busy traffic.
11] The huge complex hairdos on african american women, 5 layers, 6000 curls, 4
sprouting areas, 200 dangling bits, 6000 beads, air conditioning and enough
hairspray in it that it wouldn't move if Hurricane George hit it.
12] People with Kleenex, plants, knitted blankets, stuffed animals, or lacey
things in their cars rear window. I should be allowed to pull over and shoot
them.
13] People on the bus who talk so loud your forced to hear about their pointless
lives.
14] Crappy parkers who park their car REALLY close to the painted line so that
you have half a foot to get out.
15] Those old cars (ie, Cadillacs, Lincoln Town Cars, etc...)usually white for
some strange reason... with the acient driver who always drives WAY under the
speed limit.
16] People who write a cheque for a $2 bag of nachos at Safeway.
17] Corvettes, Comaros and Firebirds. Come on, the 80s are OVER!
18] A$$hole tailgaters.
19] Idiots who think they can pedal a bike as fast as a car, so they ride in the
middle of a traffic lane. You should be allowed to run them over, it looks like
natural selection to me.
20] Teenagers on television news reports expressing their opinions on something.
If your under 18 I don't give a sh1t about what you have to say...
21] The singer Brandy, Celine Dion, all the divas....
22] Twits who wear a huge parka outside when its sunny and a mild 5-10 C. The
same thing goes with the whole scarf thing.
23] Muni busses that smell like urine. Which is most of them.
24] Corporate Broadcasting logos in the corner of the channel your watching.
25] Web pages that pop open other pages and windows and then disable your 'back'
button.
26] People who walk around with a huge 'portable' stereos blaring, sharing their
music with everyone around them. Usually crap rap.
27] Junk mail.
28] Peice of sh1t cars that spew out huge noxious clouds behind them.
29] People that throw out huge items on the curb expecting the garbage people to
remove it. Like old dirty matresses. They don't of course, and it sits on the
curb for weeks.
30] Budweiser beer and the people who drink it. I'd rather suck the piss out of
a pig... Its time to poison the bud.
31] Drivers who turn onto the road RIGHT in front of you causing you to slam on
the brakes, even though there is no one for hundereds of feet behind you.
32] People who drive 3/4 in one lane and 1/4 in another... what the hell is
that????
33] Religous people who push their drivel on you when your walking down the
street. Or come knocking on your door.
34] Dead web page links and 'Document not found' errors.
35] Racisist people and the crap they spew out.
36] Those stupid add banners from Geocities on the Internet when you hit
someones home page going through them...
37] All country music.
38] Minivans.
39] People who spray paint their names on rocks, signs, trees etc, in national
parks. Like I care that Bill graduated in 86.
40] Small yappy 'feeder' dogs. Like little Yorkies, poodles, etc...
41] People in the fast lane who drive just 2 km/hr faster than the guy in the
'slow' lane, dawdling along.
42] Film crews making bad movies most people doent want to see blocking the
streets and being annoying.
43] Big fat bugs that splat on my windshield.
44] Those really tight spandex cycling pants on men, they are usually sooooo
tight, you can tell if they are cirumcised.
45] Those really tight spandex cycling pants on 90% of the women. Big fat a$$es
and *wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide* camel toes.
46] Those really annoying commericals from Rogers Cable that tell you all about
the 'evils' of satalite tv and how lucky you are to be getting cable for a mere
$65 a month.
47] Commercials that are SO bad on tv, you have to wonder about the sh1t for
brains who thought them up. Like the Old Navy commericals, or the old as hell
commercial for Sarah Lee, that is STILL ON THE AIR, 'let them eat cake' and 'But
Patrick, I'm to old for life insurance.' Shoot them ALL!
48] Losers that listen to totally cheezy radio stations and then slap dozens of
their stupid stickers all over thier car.
49] Lilith Fair. I say when they are all hugging, listening to the music,
sharing tampons, and bitching about how evil men are, toss in a few hundered
grenades while recording it on camera. Sell the video as a 'To Hot for TV' tape
late at night.
50] Cheap a$$ manufacturers of DVDs who list as 'features' chapters, interactive
menues, and the time. These arent features. Thats like calling your computers
keyboard a 'feature'. Lame a$$ marketing people.
51] DVD manufactureres that sell their DVDs for $40 and up, just because they
know people will pay for it. DVDs have actually become MORE expensive than when
they first came out.
52] Nintendo and everything about them.
53] Old people who clog up the sidewalk walking super slow when you want to get
somewhere.
54] Looking at demo-reels at work that are so incredibly bad, that I just want
to call them up and tell them to go f*ck their demo reel and to never EVER send
another one out to anybody. EVER.
55] Spiders. All spiders. Everyone of them.
56] How on the Nintendo 64 game machine, half the drat titles for it are called
'miscvidgame 64'. Why not come up with a real name? Why is everyone just
slapping a 64 on all the games?

I remember reading that about Disgaea 4 long, long ago, forgetting about it, finally getting the game years later, unlocking the torture minigame, then remembering.

Originally, the captives would've sat on a wooden horse, which was actually used for torture via pressure to the genitals. It was changed to a sabre cat doll before the final release. Why? Who knows. Maybe it was a ratings concern? Maybe they just wanted a torture device upon which people sat, and thought better of it since the wooden horse is actually brutal? Either way the wooden horse never survived to release. The US version calls the minigame "discipline" at that, to make it really sanitized.

The actual minigame is tongue-in-cheek as hell, like everything in Disgaea. Your options include things like slapping them with dollar bills, or complaining about work problems to them.

So it isn't vagina torture at all, it's making a penguin sign contracts and spin globes until his will breaks.
