No, it's not the time for that. It's time to buy it.
(Especially if you didn't play all the DLC on PS3, but even if you did)

Valkyria Chronicles PC |OT| Enlistment is Mandatory
I hope this will have custom soundtrack support, just in case I want to synch other Sakimoto music to in-game events.

They didn't say Internally rendered, Dark Souls also 'supported' 1080p.
Just sayin'.

Yep, game's climbing dat Top Sellers list. Nothing can't stop this Kawaii Tank now!
ARGH, only three hours until I'm out of the office so I can put my claws on this.

The screenshots posted on Steam most likely aren't 720p internal. Look at my post a few pages earlier for details.

It's doing incredibly well for a port "Nobody asked for" /s
It releases outside the sale, and then it also has the chance to
That's why I'm timing my gift purchases, some now, some at relaese
I may have skipped those DLCs, now I think about it. Oh god, the mental torturing is beginning!

There's another tweet that says natively rendered, not upscaled.
@TGJV: @SEGA Actually, since I have your attention, one followup Q: these resolutions, the game renders them nativelly,right?
@SEGA: @TGJV yes, that's correct.
Honestly, the fact that this game showed up at all would probably quiet any complaints I had so long as its controls weren't absolute shit. It's pretty old so I'm not expecting anything amazing in terms of PC features, just glad people will experience such a fantastic title. Hopefully Yakuza follows.
Think about it like this. If you bought the DLC now on PS3, you'd pay $12. Or you could pay $14 and get the entire game + DLC on PC.

Considering the sales hubbub surrounding it, VC's doing great with preorders and climbing Top Sellers. It's bad timing on SEGA's part, but I think news like this will have long legs.

1080p+ and 60fps. Achievements! Amazing! Hopefully the framerate is unlockable and the UI scales independently (for potential downsampling). Buying this as soon as I get home.

I think rather than "Nobody asked for" it was more like "There is no chance in hell this is EVER coming because it was a PS3 exclusive, it's japanese and this kind of stuff never makes it to PC but wouldn't hurt to ask for it in the Dream Steam Operation".
It seems Durante is pretty hyped about this game. I love RTS and strategy games in general so for me this one is a no brainer.
UI seems to scale (or rather, be resolution independent) judging from the screenshots.

You can't cough up 10 more dollars?

GMG and some other site. Code SLICKD-EALS22-OFFGMG gets you the game at $14.04.

edit: TC McQueen's code is slighty better.
6 years ago, not too long after I joined GAF (well, 2 years after I guess), Valkyria Chronicles was one of the first game I made an |OT| for, and it's probably my favorite PS3 exclusive to this day.
And now it gets an (apparently good!) port to my favourite platform. You bet I'm hyped!

What time is it?
I could but I'm not willing to. $14 is a great price if you haven't played or are planning on replaying it right now. Neither description fits me so I'll wait for a sale before double dipping. Game prices fall to fast to be there day one with no intention of playing anytime soon.
Region locked?

Ok, as someone who loved xcom:EU to bits, do you guys think this game would be a good match for me?
This is one of the best games of last gen. If you never played it, you should have zero hesitation purchasing this.
Your loss. It's a steal at the current price.

Buying it just cuz.
Thanks for the heads-up on the GMG deal. Already bought. I remember playing this when it first came out and thinking I was so glad I had a PS3. It's fantastic that anyone with a PC can now play it because it always seemed like it was slept on a bit.
It's also cool that there isn't a huge wait for it - just announce and then bam! It's available in a week and a half.

It was from a rather dismissive quote from Patrick Klepek to the announcement of the port.
http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/out-of-nowhere-valkyria-chronicles-is-coming-to-pc/1100-5059/
And that was after he blew off arranged interviews with the guys running the petition.
It's quite different from X-com (because it's quite different from every other strategy game or SRPG), but the base research / army development mechanics are pretty similar. I gave a rough overview of the battle mechanics earlier in the thread:
It has a very unique combat system. You basically have points each turn you can spend on each unit (tanks cost more points to use than foot soldiers), which you then proceed to move in a TPS-like fashion for a limited distance (and potentially under counter fire).
The twist: you can spend points on the same unit multiple times a turn if you want to, but with diminishing returns.
The twist (mk2): you can use the same points to execute "orders", which are either battle-wide or single-unit effects (buffs/debuffs/etc.).
Outside of battles, in the campaign, you have research and unit development somewhat akin to XCOM base gameplay.
Even heartless people (shame on you, really) should absolutely play it if they enjoy strategy games, simply because it plays so differently from everything else out there. It has some balance issues, but if you don't go out of your way to exploit them that doesn't matter much -- since you can enjoy Civ:BE it really shouldn't be an issue for you
Anyway, I think if you like strategy games at all you should at the very least try it, especially at this price. There's a very good chance you'll enjoy it.

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!
