Japanese Audio included, English dub is pretty good too!

Just bought five copies, one for myself and four others to my friends. I have done my part and there's no excuse for the rest of you to do the same!

We're friends, right?

;D

Will buy this. Will advertise to the world at large. Will play the shit out of this game, again, and Salinas won't die this time.

Does GMG only gives keys near release day?

They send a day or two before launch to allow pre-load.

Nevermind. Thanks!

Welkin's nose is the perfect internal rendering resolution check.

Looks like they are even doing AA on the line drawing on PC. Not only is it higher res, it's far smoother even considering both resolutions natively!

Edit:
Great job on the comparison by the way!

So it seems the filter is indeed making the draw distance worse somehow.

Corleth the Fey · Oct 30, 2014

Just bought it. Have gotta support moves like this. Valkyria Chronicles was one of the first games I bought on PS3, in fact I owned it before I even owned a PS3! (Bought to play on a housemates console).

Beautiful game. I hope they can get it across to PS4 / Xbox One soon too.

Now Sega, we buy this one - how about Skies of Arcadia next or even Resonance of Fate? Kisses!

Definitely bought. I happened to have a 25% coupon from GMG from Civ Beyond Earth anyway. $13.50 for this game is a steal IMO

See Square-Enix, this is how you do a proper PC port.

Linkark07 · Oct 30, 2014

Well, just pre ordered from GMG.

Thanks to a voucher, managed to discount the price to $13.50

Can't wait to play this again. And of course, finally enjoy the DLC.

Looking at these shots, the PC version is definitely running at a higher internal resolution, but it looks like a lot of the assists weren't super high quality to start.

I don't even like anime but I liked that one a lot outside of the dumb transformation sequences. Very fun and genuinely funny at times.

It's an SRPG.

That plays quite differently from any other SRPG.

The assets aren't particularly detailed, but it works well with the art style.

Bought on GMG as I had some Playfire monies to finally use.

Still shocked at how out of leftfield this was. Then just released in a fortnight of announcement.

Ah ok.

So what is so good about this game? story? characters? gameplay?

Durante · Oct 30, 2014

Sn4ke_911 said:

The unique gameplay, but also the story and characters. And of course the music. And the use of non-photorealistic rendering which isn't just simple cel-shading, something far too rare in games.

Almighty · Oct 30, 2014

Bought and now the waiting game begins. I am very tempted to buy a gift copy for my brother as well.

TatteredHat · Oct 30, 2014

Probably one of the most memorable games I played on my PS3, but I never got around to playing the DLC. Definitely going to pick this up.

UnrealEck · Oct 30, 2014

Cool, now to wait for impressions to see if it's a competent port.
Then if it is, I need to figure out a way to make some money.

Fireblend · Oct 30, 2014

Bought it from GMG. Figured for $14 it's a pretty safe bet even though I've never heard of this. Plus I like SRPGs.

I wish everyone could've been as hyped as I was after Ikaruga released on Steam 1999 game with absolute no chance to be on PC makes it to PC... And maybe one day we get Radiant Silvergun too.

So, yeah, happy that a dream came true!

edit: Top #13. Keep on climbin', baby!

I was so hyped for Ikaruga. One of the few Steam games I bought as soon as I could.

VC is just about to become another one.

It requires a Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz and a Geforce GTS 240. And it has been confirmed to support arbitrary native resolution, 60 FPS and control remapping. What could possibly go wrong?

Sn4ke_911 said:

I know it's subjective, but by far the best thing about Valkyria Chronicles is the story and characters. It's rare to see a game with such a compelling cast, especially with how likeable the protagonist is. Since the game is pretty much split 50/50 between "watch a scene" and "play a battle" (besides tinkering with your squad/tank), it focuses on story more compared to a typical RPG. It's compounded with a beautiful soundtrack by Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII, Vagrant Story, Tactics Ogre, etc).

The gameplay is really, really good to. I just preference the story over it in VC. The English voice acting is superb as well.

fatgamecat · Oct 30, 2014

Now you guys just need to do some challenge runs like low turns, all kills, no damage taken, no orders, and no leveling/upgrades.

iavi · Oct 30, 2014

If the Steam page is correct, Sega's handling this port/goodness in-house too.

In previous super late port cases, like Viking, they listed the port-house--in that case: Hardlight.
