It's one of the few PS3 games I've really held an interest in.

duckroll said:I'll make it easier for you:
- No filler, every mission is relatively unique, and the game doesn't drag on
- A SRPG not set in a fantasy or sci-fi world, but in a steampunk alternate reality WW1 setting with guns and tanks
- Cover system makes battles feel more strategic and tactical
- No grinding, minimal equipment management, tons of focus on actual decisions during a mission, and how you tackle situations
Hcoregamer00 said:Goddamn, you know how to sell Valkyria Chronicles well.
Where were you when they did the advertising for the game?
Darkpen said:Translation:
- The gameplay feels fresh
Despite its turn-based nature, the 3D navigation and dice-roll aiming circle for weaponry makes it stand out from other SRPGs
- You can actually fight hard battles
Despite the mission ranking nature being speed-run/trial-and-error, there's always a way to succeed on your first time
- Hard battles are totally doable, just fine-tune your strategy
above
- you get surprised by some of the ennemies
No idea what he's referring to here
- It's beautiful
The way the game is rendered holds it unique, offering a canvas filter, with sketch-mark shading
- Vyse & Aika
omfg cameos
- Level up one unit? No, level up every unit of the same type at once!
Instead of micromanaging every single unit, you deposit EXP into the entire class type
- Upgrade, unlock discover depth that you didn't expect
More toys to overwhelm your enemies.

JRPG's going handheld is awesome since it fits the portable lifestyle well.
We welcome VC2 and future games on the handheld console arena.

duckroll said:I didn't get a chance to play Valkyria until some time after the US release. I wasn't really sold on the game concept, and when it was released in Japan I think I was playing some other stuff like Persona or something. Sorry.
Hcoregamer00 said:Well, I just wanted to point out that your post was concise and to the point.
It was the kind of marketing that SEGA needed to push the game.
Kobun Heat said:Anyone else notice the complete and utter coincidence that just as Japan's video game market starts to kind of go down the toilet, Famitsu suddenly bumps up the number of 40s?
WOW JAPAN WE ARE SUDDENLY SO GOOD AT MAKING VIDEOGAMES HOW CRAZY
JoeFenix said:Bayonetta RELEASE DATE YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
duckroll said:After all, it's still an anime-themed strategy game, and that sort of stuff just doesn't tend to do great outside of the otaku markets, even if they do stand on their own as a solid original game with great gameplay.
GyakuSai 4 sold over half a million.Hcoregamer00 said:Yes, but it could have been a success story the same way that Phoenix Wright/Ace Attorney franchise was. This franchise may not be a massive seller, but it has a very loyal fanbase who will buy anything related to the franchise.

BlueWord said:As for VC2... well, I'll take what I can get. I do wonder why they moved the game to PSP, though; were the sales not high enough to inspire confidence in full-fledged, high-budget sequel?

Vinnk said:I am. I was expecting high scores, like 37 or 38 but with the controversial platform choice and everything (and also considering no DQ game has EVER gotten a perfect) I was a bit surprised. Not shocked, but surprised.
JoeFenix said:Bayonetta RELEASE DATE YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
The only game other than Demon's souls that I really want this year! Can't wait!
Philanthropist said:Any idea on the western release date or whether the Japanese version could include English language? I won't have much more than some PSN games and second playthroughs of Blu-ray games to play this summer and I am craving a new Katamari game already :-|
