| Pristine20 said: looks like Valkyria is not your thing. I wasn't too impressed with the demo myself but after all the recommendations, I gave it a shot anyway. When you play the actual game gradually, its much more immersive than that skirmish battle that is the demo. You start to care about the characters and fall in love with the game's style. ...or maybe it's just me but I love this game. |
I never played the demo to Valkyria Chronicles, just the full game. However in my experience thus far, RPGs should not have demos. I have yet to play a demo to an RPG that was representative of my experience with the final game. The game play systems of RPGs are usually taught to the player slowly throughout the game.
In the demo's I've played they throw everything at the player at once and that just gives an inaccurate impression. I didn't like the Tales of Vesperia demo, but I loved the full game. I loved the Eternal Sonata demo, and was disappointed in the full game. I thought the Blue Dragon demo was terrible but I enjoyed the full game because I had a grasp on the customizations of the shadows.
Valkyria Chronicles is an excellent game. It's unfortunate that the demo of seems incapable of conveying that. That seems to be the case with RPG demos on the whole.
