The title wanted to be provocative but it's not far from reality. I just want to share my experience, hoping that someone might be help me trying to find some resolution; I will try to make it a short as possible.
So, I've always been in a group of friends interested in TTRPGs. In the past we used to try, even for a bit, different RPG systems. One member of the group insisted to DM for us in what should've been a year long campaign; matter of fact, at least 4 years passed, 4 years of increasingly bad and slog-ish campaigns. Now, most of us are fed up and extremely bored and disappointed with the situation, but we are trying to endure just for the sake of reaching the end of what, we hope, will be the final campaign and no to upset 3 new players that joined us.
Now, this last campaign really made me reach my limit, to the point I've actually take pauses during these months to miss some sessions. The reasons are many, from the extremely heavy use of Chatgpt in the script (the story makes no sense at all) to the continuous use of stuff taken from popular medias ( and I don't mean just taking inspiration, but literally a copy-paste process involving only a change of names) and much much more.
Now we, as a group, are probably going to be asked about our thoughts about the campaign and I don't know what to say because I don't want to hurt my friend. We had so many projects in mind but everyone is feeling very exhausted and I fear we won't play any TTRPGs in a long time because of this.
Has any of you ever found yourself in a situation like this? How did you solve it?

Hello everyone, this year I was searching for some rpgs to play and I've stumbled upon Disgaea.

I've played some of them and here's my two cents (all of them were played on pc using the last version available or console in the case of D2):

Disgaea 1 - Really liked it, funniest cast that really skyrockets around mid-end game, not as many QoL as the the more recent titles but I liked how they were able to squeeze the most out of the game mechanics.

Disgaea D2 - Best gameplay ( on par with 5) but the story was way weaker than 1.

Disgaea 4 - Couldn't bear to finish it, I stopped at episode 8 because the quality of the story really plummeted and some of the characters started to become insufferable and annoying. Clunky gameplay too.

Disgaea 5 - My favourite together with 1. Loved the art style, smoothest gameplay, story was kinda trope-y but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Disgaea 7 - Very meh. Worst graphics, barely serviceable plot and gameplay in my opinion.

With that being said, are there some titles that you consider a must-play? (both main saga and spin-offs) I'm currently trying Makai Kingdom and the gameplay is interesting though the plot seems non-existent. I'd like to play Disgaea 2 but it seems very polarizing so I'm kinda on the fence.
