Forums - Sony Discussion - SEGA On FIRE!! Valkyria Chronicles -- 9/10 -- Playstation Mag - USA!

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsPendingCom-218166.aspx#Comments

SEGA once again back to a good developer.

With Bayonetta also coming things are only looking up for the legendary developer!

it's interesting to see that most of the PS3 exclusives this year have been getting pretty damn consistent reviews

(MGS4, Wipeout HD, Little Big Planet, SOCOM, Valkyria Chronicles, etc, have been getting pretty even game scores).

i remember back in 2007, when not a single publication could make up their minds about the scores of PS3 exclusives like Motorstorm, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Heavenly Sword, Folklore, Warhawk, Ratchet and Clank Future, Uncharted, etc, while the 360 was getting 9/10 hits almost every month.

this year is almost a complete opposite and shift in opinion about the PS3.

Sega has surprised me with Valkyria Chronicles (i LOVED the demo), and i really can't wait for this game. it will be one of my top November purchases outside of Resistance 2 (and trying to catch up on the MANY GAMES i missed out on this month).

it's nice to see that Sega can still make a quality game, even when they've completely destroyed the Sonic series (i'm still holding out for a resurgence. if it can happen to Lara Croft, it can happen to Sonic).

i'm just so surprised at how welcoming reviewers are to PS3 exclusives this year, when last year, even the BEST PS3 games were being sh*t on (ie, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank Future).

Yeah they created some good looking IP's this gen...(Don't forget Condemned!).






nice score, but i have to see ign's score before i announce it as an AAA game.



Why is IGN such a highly vaunted opinion? Thats all it is remember, opinion. To take one review from a company, with in my opinion too much influence, that likely grades games based on the amount of traffic (revenue from ads) generated by a sensationalist review (GTA 4 = 10) than on any actual merits of the game, is rather ignorant of you, not to put too fine a point on it. Its not as though we're talking about a completely unbiased and objective source of information here, immaculate to the point of taking their word as laq, but an opinion based article written with a number of possible detractors from a game that could very well not be the games fault (The man writing the review doesn't like the genre, he doesn't have the time for an in depth review so he skims it, Sega games don't see as many reviews, which means fewer expensive adds, which means there won't be an uproar if the review is unfair ect).



^i agree with most of their scores its as easy as that.

Okay, I think it's time I started paying attention to this game. What's it about?



A good score, also with Yakuza 3 and Sonic unleashed they have some good games coming up.

you have a PS3??

if you do....get the demo for free....its a SRPG...A brilliant one!!!!!!

If you don't.....get one of your friends to download the demo n play it at his/her house!!

I enjoyed the demo but like most games I hardly ever buy them, still got Folklore to get at some point...this will be like that, get it when it's cheaper.



Hmm, pie.

Good for sega and good for ps3 owners
