Disgaea: Hour of Darkness – Why can’t I bring myself to like this game?!

It’s worse than not liking Disgaea: I can’t even bring myself to play it. Three times I have tried to play this game, and three times I have gone down in defeat. The first two times I barely made it past the hour mark. This time I gave it “the mother of all college tries” […]
