The_Red_Shade on 11 January 2009

I bought Valkryia Chronicles not too long ago. Before I made my purchase, I played it's demo and read various reviews that praise it. I felt extremely confident that, upon making the purchase, I would find myself in a grand position to FINALLY game with a JRPG. To no surprise, that's exactly what happened. Valkryia Chronicles kept me hooked for hours [fifty-plus hours presently]. Unfortunately, my hopes for a sequel that'll surpass the first entry and cuddle me with some serious awesomeness is nothing more but a lingering dream of mine. With sales, according to VG Chartz, are over 300,000 units worldwide yet, it may be not recieve the sequel it deserves. I'll just make my point: why hasn't this game sold more copies? Is it because of the genre that it falls under? Or, are many gamers hoping for Final Fantasy XIII to save the JRPGs of this gen? In all honesty, this game deserves to sell more copies. Not because I'm hoping for a sequal but, it's an amazing game. To conclude: GO BUY VALKRYIA CHRONICLES!!!

Guidelines to understanding my train of thought:

  • THE METAL GEAR SOLID FRANCHISE IS THE BEST THING TO HIT THE PLANET SINCE THE PS3!! THUS, MGS FRANCHISE >> SLICED-BREAD.
  • Solid Snake shall and well always shove 1up mushrooms up Mario's ass. 
  • Solid Snake shall and well always decimate Master Chief with a flurry of rocket launchers, shotgun rounds, and a 20 minute monologue.

What blasphemy? He can't find it so its fact, nothing to do with offending god.

 

on topic, now you know how every core Wii owner feels, its heart breaking to not see success in games you want to succeed. Well get used to it because the demographics have now been split right down the middle because of the Wii and its market share power.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Oh, You misunderstand. I was simply joking. Even so, he should at least try getting the game online.

As for feeling like a Wii gamer, guess I do.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

My mind was shortly off to the episode of Family Guy where Peter gets his own TV show, namely: "You know what really grinds my gears?"

EDIT: Damn you kitchensink! You beat me to it

But! I agree with you! Fully. I will also tell you that japanese RPGs are not the most popular games in the western world, and because it is also a strategy game, its audience is limited even further.

@Red_Shade

It's not really a joke when you still believe that the person should of done whatever you were joking about them doing.

Anyway it's a good game, I have it and I beat it and now it's somewhere in my house while I lovingly beat the Snot out of Soma in Castlevania Judgment - Of course he got really close last match V_V
