Good troll. Almost had me.

Isn't it locked at 30fps?
It was nowhere near finished last time I checked.
Seems like one of those games that will forever be unfinished.

Endless series pls. Come back. My wallet wants you for cheap.
It depends how long you've been on Steam. The longer you're there, the less deals there are because you own everything in the back catalogue worth having and with the other sales, bundle sites, etc. everything gets covered off.
I've only been doing PC gaming a short while but I've picked up so much stuff for so cheap. The sales are getting predictable and repetitive now, but my library only has a few holes left that need filling at the right price. I might have to wait a while for a few of them to hit my price threshold but I guess I could play the other 350 games I've got whilst I wait...

I liked it but it isn't really great gameplay and story wise, the world also feels empty because of the lack of side quests. It's also locked at 30fps if I remember right.
The facial animations and the atmosphere are great though.

Hm, are the detective aspects interesting? Like the clues, figuring out the cases, etc. I'm more interested in it for the mental puzzles, I think.
I bought new order on gig for almost 75% off two days ago... Don't know if it's been on sale on steam yet

Your posts read like you think Bioware/Bethesda RPGs define the genre. Ever played Dragon Quest? It has Level 1 -> Level 2 -> Level 3 as well. Not a RPG confirmed!
But hey, I agree with you. It's not up for debate. Valkyria Chronicles is a RPG.
A lot of it is looking at clues and facial expressions during conversations to figure out if they're lying or holding something back. It's interesting enough at $5, at the very least.
You can unlock the framerate. PCGW should help.

Oh, please, we both know who the troll is. I've been playing JRPGs back since the NES era. This isn't the first time I've seen how JRPG fans defend bad titles.
Regardless, I made my points in case anyone else was thinking of grabbing the Valkyrie Chronicles. For you guys, notice how there wasn't a single rebuttal of substance. This is on NeoGAF, mind you. That says something about the game's quality.
You must be new to the RPG genre yourself if you think Bio/Beth invented dialogues.
Ever play an Ogre Battle game? Final Fantasy Tactics? No, I imagine not. If you had, you wouldn't be so shocked by the idea of a strategy RPG having dialogue and not just wave after wave of unrelenting slide-shows.

They are worth getting because they are great games. Alien especially.
You are starting to attack large groups of people now and that wont end up good for you.
They'll most likely drop come summer, yeah. Wolfenstein's been cheaper. Alien: Iso is a good discount considering it's been out a whole 9 weeks alone. I'd bite on the latter. In fact, I am biting on the latter. Minute I put my money in the bank tomorrow.
Them 48hr daily deals.

It found it intersting but they really aren't difficult if that's what you're looking for. The thing that was great was trying to figure out if a person was lying or not based on their facial behavior.
It's a good game but it could have been way better.
Thanks guys, bought Alien: Isolation and will buy the other two next summer, as I have enough games in my backlog to tide me over until then...

You're better off discussing this in the official thread for Valkyria Chronicles on PC.

I guess I should just spam gifs and one-liners, right? Yeah, I'm sure if the mods step in on this for some God unknown reason they're gonna be real impressed with that.

The horror! xD It also has no monster breeding. Wassupwithdat?
....There are no (significant) dialogue options in Final Fantasy Tactics. None. The fuck are you talking about? Are you confusing it with Tactics Ogre?

Is that a steam key though? I think that's the only one in the series I'm missing in steam
You should take a nice look at Risen if you want good exploration (If you haven't already)
You know, you should play more of the game before continuing to make a fool of yourself.
Your rant is so devoid of meaning and fundamentally wrong that it doesn't merit replies of substance. Come on, you can't even get the spelling of the name of the game right.

Crysis 3 is not available on steam, no.
flash deal. ~10 hours remaining.

Nah, it's just that your childish trolling and laughable criticisms of the game made me think you're 15 or so years old and I went with Bioware/Bethesda.
Yeah, I've played both of those games, they're great but why would I expect Valkyria Chronicles to be the same? That'd be stupid, it's a different game with different gameplay. What, do you go into Demon's Souls and expect Kingdom Hearts story telling just because they're both Action RPGs?

If you like film noir at all then go for it. I loved it on PS3 when it launched. I just bought it again to replay it myself.
I could have sworn I was able to customize AND specialize my units. Maybe I was playing an alternate reality version of VC.

SHMUPGAF, what should I get, Astebreed or Danmaku Unlimited + Crimzon Clover IGNITION? I only have $6 left in the steam wallet.
Yeah, you. Glad we established that.
The PC port isn't "bad." You can play with the controller (just like the PS3 version!) in all menus. There is NOTHING preventing you from doing that, same with keyboard and mouse. The optimization (outside of 60FPS which is buggy) is great and runs on about 80% of PC's out there. It's nowhere fucking near a "bad PC port" and you're trolling.
I'm not even going to get into the stupid argument of you and your "RPG definition."
Though glad you've been playing JRPGs since the NES. Good for you, do you want a cookie for that accomplishment?
Danmaku + Crimzon Clover = 2 titles > Assbreed's 1 title.
SIMPLE LAW OF SALES MATH. DO NOT DISPUTE THIS.

We haven't seen a meltdown of this size in a Steam thread in a while. Redefining entire genres? Check. Ranting against all of NeoGAF? Check.
Also, Crimzon Clover is one of the best shmups in years. Buy it!
he's borderline junior, don't waste your time.

...but Assbreed is the closest we'll get to Zone of the Enders on Steam.
...and of course
Seriously though go with whichever, I heard good things about CCI but I'm not that big a Bullet Hell fan =_=

Dragonborn definitely, you get an island's worth of content to explore.
Dawnguard, not so much, but it's essential for a number of mods.

This reminded me that I still need Astebreed.
Shmup day!

Astebreed was awesome, and I picked up Revolver in the gem auctions. I'm pretty excited about it.

It's obvious from how you're describing the "flaws" of VC that you haven't played very much of it yet. You can specialize your troops and tank, later on in the game. VC can be very challenging. The first few missions are there to introduce gameplay elements and to establish the story.
While I have never agreed with others on GAF who recommend VC as a straight JRPG to people (because it doesn't have the freedom of exploration that is a big part of JRPGs), it is a SRPG and it does have elements of role-playing. You know, those words which R and P stand for. You take the role of a character, and your character moves through a complex story, forming relationships with others. Even your troops have their own personalities. While no, you cannot choose your own missions, and you don't have dialogue trees, it's still in abstract terms a role-playing game. But the focus is on the Strategy part.
I suggest you stick with it, and trust the many other people on GAF who love the game.
Can anyone gift me Bulletstorm? I can only buy the heavily censored german version.... (want to know how heavy exactly? check http://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=973741 )
