got PS3? get VALKYRIA CHRONICLES

Finally got into the meat of the game in VC1 and oooh shit this game is good. Putting the right squad together and doing proper flanking is very satisfying. Did a very early mission where my top flank was two scouts and two stormtroopers, and my bottom flank was my tank, my engineer, a sniper, a lancer (anti-tank), and a scout. Finding the right balance between aggressive/conservative play and setting up your units properly is a fun challenge.

Also you have a pet that is a baby pig with wings! Merchandising!

I'm on a backlog kick, having picked up and beaten Infamous and had to choose between restarting this or the new XCOM. Thus far, Valkyria has been a treat; mechanics, sound, graphics, gameplay, depth are all super top notch. This does not feel like a five year old game. Still hella fresh and very addictive.

now this would be a good game to play again, why haven't i done that already.

4 years seems like along time ago.

i should grab this, it was one of my "hey PS3, nice" titles from way back when

this was probably the best game i played last year, (re)bought a PSP to play the followup and oof what a disappointment that was :(

should I finish VC2 or P3P?

I'm playing VC1 again. I lost my save data for my PS3 awhile back and it's been fun going back through the early levels. I forgot that Largo and Rosie almost mutinied against Welkin, what nerve.

I enjoyed the hell out of both and believe you should finish both, but P3P far moreso.

partying like it's 2008 with a run through of this on switch. still lots of fun

i haven't played the others but yeah the first game is a classic. have heard 4 is the worthy followup that 2 was not, will get around to it someday.

4 is good, it adds a little bit but it feels very true to the first game -- which is a double-edged sword because it feels like an expansion pack for a 10 year old game almost. i did get about 3/4 of the way thru before kinda drifting into some other games, did enjoy. it's a recommend if you have a gap in your playing schedule and, like, maybe don't pay $90

i guess the result of no one buying 4 was...they're reviving sakura wars instead now?
