^ Thanks. Sounds great to me, buying it now. Bye bye, self-discipline!

 

No thank you Badgenome. We really need to start a buy Valkyria Chronicles campaign. Sega finally made AAA game and no one buys it.

I guess they should have made an AAA game in a different genre. Not that I'm complaining, as I love SRPGs and they are few and far between.

And it has been nice to see the various gaming sites putting an SRPG up as a GOTY contender.

That's nonsense. How many RPGs are on PS3 right now? Better yet, how many exclusive RPG are on the console? There is no excuse for the lack of sales. I wasn't expecting a million seller but damn, VC sales are serious WTF to me. If VC was selling this on 360, PS3 fanboys would be having a field day. They need to stop bitching about SE and what's on 360. They need to run out and buy VC.

It's pretty sad but expected. For some reason I don't really grasp, JRPGs (which already don't sell much) vastly outsell SRPGs. Maybe there's a bigger gulf there than I realize, but to me, if you like the one, it seems like you should like the other.
