Valkyria Chronicles for PC [Nov 11, £14/20/$20, has all DLC, 60fps/1080p+, $14 GMG]

I have this game, but I never beat it. That fucking tank. How much replay value does this game have? And how far away is one from completing the game after that tank chapter?
 
What was the name of the track that played while you were prepping for battle?

I used to let the game sit there a bit just to listen to that sweet sweet piece of music.

God I loved this game.
 
I'm surprised SEGA gave enough of a shit to port it from PS3 to PC (probably not too easy). I'd hope that means that they care about the series still, since VC is a fantastic game and I'd love more.

Well, for all we know this PC port (assuming it gets the numbers it deserves) might very well be part of an internal pitch to upper management to get a VC4 greenlit.

That said, wonder who's doing the port job.
 
I like this trend. Well, we need to support this on PC, there's still a few titles you could port over SEGA. Thanks for VC for now though.

To be fair, when I said 2 killed my interest in the franchise that's only because they never released 3 over here. I would give it a chance if it were ported to PC.

Oh I don't blame you for not liking 2, I love the VC series, but I have no desire right now to finish 2. I'm turned off by the leveling system for classes and the tank coating stuff. I don't particularly hate the anime HS setting, but I can see why people were disappointed with that. Plus I couldn't get use to the new classes and I missed my in game saving...not to mention the lack of a right stick for camera.

3 does a better job, even if on an obvious smaller budget, by scaling back the complexities and reblancing the classes. The squad is smaller, but you don't have to set up a squad list and you can change classes as you see fit and when more are available. The story is also an improvement though some of the dialogue is a bit weak from what I've been told, but the characters themselves are enjoyable
(which is why I prefer one certain ending to another)
. You may have to deal with waifu moments...but I imagine to most that is a welcome improvement over what 2 did.
 
That's great news. Looking forward to Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3 PC ports too

At this point, I really hope they give the franchise to Creative Assembly or Relic to work on. It seems like a no brainer, assuming the port does well.

CA and Relic doing an anime game? The same studios who do gritty 40K, WW2 or historical strategy games? While it would be a nice change of pace for them, I seriously see no indication that they would be making a VC game.
 
Double dipping the shit out of this. Utterly fantastic game. Fans of Nu-XCOM should definitely check it out.

2 went full on fanservice and really took the series into a direction I hated. So I'm glad we're getting the good one, before the series jumped the shark chasing after a demographic I'm not a part of and can't identify with.
PSP owners har har

They added copious amounts of fanservice, moe characters, animu waifus and a high school setting. It's the Japanese equivalent of adding tits, gore, grit and dark character to appeal to some sort of nebulous teenage demographic in Western games (hello Fuse).

3 doesn't have the school setting, and the other things are there since the first one I think.

If Enemy Unknown was the reasoning, we'd probably have this PC port back in 2013.

I didn't say THE reason just an influence, as if I remember rightly, while XCOM had the prestige of both brand and developer, it did way better than most expectations predicted, no? Plus Enemy Within only came out last year as well.

Fair enough, I should've only said 2 and not included 3, I actually don't know anything about 3, I stopped following the series after seeing what 2 had become.

And if that sounds salty, that's because I still am! :D After absolutely loving the first game and having really high hopes for it as a new franchise, yes, I'm still really bitter about what became of it.

Fixed since its only the second installment that does all of that.
