Disgaea 3 - Playable by how much?

Until the battle begins you do have an horrible 0,3 fps, and it takes about 45 minutes to reach the tutorial. Once there the frame rate becomes and acceptable 3 fps, although it actually feels even faster. At this point the speed isn't much of a problem at all. (It is 10 times faster than it was before)

Haha, 45 minutes of agonizing 3 seconds per frame just to test an analog stick, then going and changing code only to have to re-do that isn't really worth it though. That's why we need to find another game with the same problem. Or for the game to go at least 1 FPS at all times.

And yeah, a lot of the Z-buffer stuff is not done (much like the rest of RSX and GCM...). 3D graphics be hard, and we be understaffed, man.
