So you think that if you're not a hardcore adventure/mystery game buff, you won't buy it?
I'm thinking this title has a good shot at bringing in a respectable amount of people who are not familiar with this genre. I mean, just looking at the pictures and watching the footage of the game is fairly breathtaking. This game oozes 'next gen', if I can even get away with saying that this far into it. :)
A lot of this comes down to marketing. Now, i agree with your post to a degree. It's not mainstream. If any niche title has a chance of attracting mainstream gamers; this is certainly it.
Person 1: Does Valkyria Chronicles have trophies?
Person 2: No.
Person 1: Forget it. I'm not buying it.
Person 2: Wait! It's amazing! Unique, charming, drop dead gorgeous... Hello?
