Looks so good.


#23

Such an authentic port.


#24

Good God playing this again is a delight.

Such a charming and engaging game.


#25

So it runs okay?


#26

Very, Iā€™m running it at above 4K resolution and my GPU usage is barely 50%

This shit would run well on old laptops.


#27

I bet it upscales well too. Hmmmmmmmm
mmm.


#28

cutscenes are locked at ps3 res, though.


#29

Ah yeah, they werenā€™t rendered real-time. Thatā€™s what you want anyway, the DMC HD collection gives no fucks and stretches that shit.


#30

The cutscenes are a shame but the main game looks gorgeous downsampled from 4K.

You two better be fucking buying this. For all the interminably shit JRPGs that get posted about on this forum that arenā€™t worth the breath that was used to create them, you better not be fucking ignoring one of the best JRPGs of the last gen.


#31

I already played it back in 2008. It was my GOTY, IIRC. The sequel was a disappointment and I havenā€™t touched the fan translation of the third game.

If itā€™s Ā£5 on a Steam sale then Iā€™ll double dip.


#32

Damn straight.


#33

Ehhh, itā€™s not a JRPG, itā€™s more like a TRPG.


#34

Iā€™ve got it on PS3, didnā€™t get too far. Iā€™ll pick it up during the Christmas sale for sure.

Call it what you want, but itā€™s pretty fucking J


#35

I own all three games, but I havenā€™t played much of them. I remember playing the demo of the first game on PS3. I recall rather sucking at it at the time. Iā€™m rusty at strategy RPGs. I donā€™t play them as often as Iā€™d like.


#36

Iā€™m pretty bad at strategy RPGs. I hated Advance Wars but i couldnā€™t stop playing it. Evil game.


#37

Valkyria Chronicles is different from most turn-based RPGs. Ranking is solely based on how many turns you use to complete the level objectives. Personally, I find it more fun to destroy as many enemy units as possible.


#38

You should play the Shining Force games. Theyā€™re like a beginnerā€™s entry to the strategy RPG genre. Quite easy, and you can ease into how the fundamental mechanics work. If anything, itā€™s good practice if/when you play harder strategy RPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics, Arc the Lad, or Growlanser.
