I played it before it became subject internet ultra-hype machine.

That is to say, my expectations of it were normal and not ultra high.

 

As did I. Honestly if I had played it after the internet got a hold of it I probably wouldnt have finished it.

It's a great game though, I was wholly satisfied when I finished it. 



I am a gamer. Not a fanboy, not a troll, a gamer. So when you dont like what I have to say, remember this fact.

How is it hyped other than a great game that everyone should try.

This is why I don't follow hype trains too much. I want the game simply because I think it's awesome.

-Luck! I don't want this much luck to strategy games. Either enemy dodges your bullets, then shoots back and kills your team or not.

 

 

What is so bad about these things? 

 

Reinforcements?  Cover your ass.

Well you cant cover them since they come from nowhere, not from their base but suddenly from behind or even front of you.

 

Lancers miss?  Use your aim boosting order to make sure they don't.

Just takes my cp:s away for nothing.

 

It isn't luck that they dodge when they do most of the time, if they are standing in grass can pretty much promise they will duck, use a nade or flamethrower or whatever instead.  Get your potentials going and you reduce the chances they will dodge other times also.

Of course, but when you go with 1 guy to their base, there is 1 standing in their base and you need to kill it to win, and he dodges then counterattacks and kills you.Sure I got ideas to use granades and flamethowers but still they don't work always. And I remember that Rosie evaded many sniper bullets thx for potentials but shes alwasy "Strong willed" unlike others.

Well, in real battle, you wouldn't know where reinforcements came from either :p on the other hand, I never considered it to be that big of a problem in Valkyria Chronicles to be honest.

That's true, but then again, it's about choices ;) Waste another CP and get a definite hit (and a big one) or don't and risk a miss (or risk going even closer and getting shot). Choices, a good thing in a game :p

Put yourself in the place of the enemy, coming across people who are pretty much cross-fire resistant or strong willed? :p  You just sometimes get a bit of that back ;) It makes it all the more exciting, going "I hope this mofo doesn't duck... AAARGh, that's it, sniper support on his ass!"... You can't really fault the game for that, when your own chars do this as well...

Then stop complaining about a game making you watch out for what you do, by surprising you. The only "pop-ups" one would get is 1) from known spawn points / bases 2) from places you cannot see, like behind buildings and inside tall grass 3) side of the map. Only mission that was a big surprise in this regard was the Alicia-surprise mission. Preparation and treading carefully will take care of this "problem" each and every time.

I guess you are other people and critics consider it a really good game.



Simulacrum on 04 May 2009

Yea I'm pretty shocked...Maybe it was cause of the huge hype train.

Just finished it...I'm gonna write review later but..

So many has said that Valkyria Chronicles was best game in 2008, hyped it to par with Metal Gear Solid 4, even Vgchartz gave it 9.4, so thats why I was really expectin huge from it (like with Lbp).

I'm god dam big Jprg and RTS game fan so I thought this would awesome.. But it is good game no question about it but,am I only one who thinks it was dissapointment?

It's a pretty ringing damned endorsement of a game when someone who was disappointed by it still says "But it is good game no question about it".

Makes me even more sure that this is the game I'm going to get first when I buy my PS3.

The only game I've played that I think is in a similar ball park is Kessen (PS2). I liked Kessen a lot, as short as it was. "Let my Tonbogiri be your passage to HELLLLLL!!!". Not so much RPG, but plenty of strategy.
