My Blockbuster didn't have the game >_>
I don't really wanna buy it without trying it first. I've never played an SRPG...

I doubt many will. It's a very niche game.

 

Have you tried the demo?

No. I don't think it's on the PAL store. All it had under RPG was Folklore and Genji (wtf?)

 

The bastards put it under strategy!

There's a category for strategy? Well I feel stupid ._.

It's ok. Tell us what you think.

@ darth

Of course it is.

I'm not glad. What's the point of even releasing it earlier in Europe, as less people will buy it, because most people won't understand the language?
All this will do is make SRPG even more niche than they are in Europe. This is the same stupidity we had a decade ago. SRPG are nearly extinct in Europe now.
I won't support nonsense like that anyway, I'm patiently waiting for the USA release. There's no point in paying 20-30 € more for sth that isn't even better.
Europe isn't even getting a special edition of the game. It's a shame...

Translating games only makes the localisation proces more expensive, which makes turning a profit less likely. Importing your games is what's damaging the already niche RPG market in Europe.

 

Cut the nonsense please!

The game is NOT translated from english and STILL cost 20-30 € more in Europe. Besides, most people don't speak english here, so these people won't suddenly love sth where they don't even understand what's going on, especially in a JRPG.

Importing never damaged the niche RPG market in Europe. Obviously you're not from Europe or very young to
believe this. In every time I've known, which include PS1, SNES and NES times, you just couldn't play most JRPG without importing. Us importers often have two versions of the very same game : the original japanese one and a PAL version.

You lack perspective and abstraction power. Just replace Europe with NA and the language of the game from English to Japanese, and look again at what you said.

Now, if you're saying I'm damaging the niche ENGLISH FOR NON-ENGLISH COUNTRIES RPG market in Europe, then you're absolutely right, as this market makes no sense and should be removed as soon as possible, to be replaced by a LOCALISED RPG market in Europe.

What's worse, is that the not-translated games market in Europe is mostly made of importers, which means people who have no problems with foreign languages. If you believe we are stupid people, I'll let you believe that and won't buy such nonsensical games.

@ ookaze

I agree. It's very dumb.

According to 1up its better than Resistance 2

 

1up offered a fanboy review for resistance 2. in fact they think its equal to mercenaries 2 which is madness.

on topic i have valkyria and its one of the best games ive played so far grafx and sound are utterly awsome, its an rpg but unlike any other rpg you have played

I see you're also playing Siren. Amazing, amazing horror game. Definitely feels like something right off from a TV show or a movie.

Eh, could you try the input system for taking screens from the PS3.

I thought the game had to support this feature first? Does VC support PS3 screen capping? That would be awesome if it does :D

Well. One more day left.

I just got the game earlier today and I have to say that the visuals are stunning, and so is the voice acting (i have it on japanese). I'v only played the first hour so far, loads of cutscenes... but I can tell this is going to be an epic game. Can't wait to play more of this, as soon as my bro stops playing fallout 3 i'm all over this!
