Valkyria Chronicles

[Kaori]

I'm just revisiting old games, and so far I never seem to get tired of this.

Gameplay for those who have no idea:

[GyppyGirl2021]

Got it along with BlazBlue when I got my PS3. I love it so far, but I haven't played that much of it...

[Kaori]

How far have you gotten?

[GyppyGirl2021]

To the part where you can start doing skirmishes.

[Kaori]

I havent gotten very far either but I love doing skirmishes to get DCT and EXP, keep doing that, it will help you in the long run.

[GyppyGirl2021]

I plan to. Grinding is like a lifestyle for me with RPGs

[Kaori]

and take down enemy ace's, they usually drop good weapons for you to use.

[GyppyGirl2021]

I'll keep that in mind. XD

My cousin got this game and never even opened it, he just suddenly passed it to me like it was a virus...two months later...still haven't opened it...maybe i should

Depends on what kinds of games you like. It has very unique gameplay, kind of a mix of a turn-based SRPG and a third-person shooter. I like it, but that's because I usually like games with unique gameplay *cough*BatenKaitos*cough*

Haha, I've always loved turnbased games, and some with really crappy storylines at that, just for the way it plays. I've never really played and TPS type games due to my affixation on FPS such as Halo and COD. But i think i could get into this should i try it out. It looks quite enteresting and if i throw in my spare time then....

[GyppyGirl2021]

Yeah. Me, I'm a fan of Fire Emblem, and I really think that's not a bad comparison for the turn-based aspect of VC... although there are clearly some differences, it did give me a sort of FE vibe the first time I played it.

I used to be into FPS, but never really got into TPS... ah well

Yeah, it gives off that Fire Emblem feel to it i'll probably enjoy it. FFT and all the Fire Emblems were my favorite series for the longest time.

I used to be a Halo-freak until recently actually, but i haven't played enough TPS games, (unless archery in skyrim counts?) so this game might prove adversarial for me

[Kaori]

the RPG elements also add to the challenge, you dont level up individual units here, you level up by class.

I think with me, it was more just the "PLAYER PHASE" "ENEMY PHASE" thing that I associate so strongly with FE. XD

It's not TOO bad. Movement is done in real-time, but actual attacking pauses the game so that you can take aim and stuff. The biggest issue I have is interception fire, which basically makes it so that you have to end your turn IMMEDIATELY after attacking...

And yes, I actually liked the leveling-by-class thing. It's another unique aspect I liked. XD

Ugh, at low levels interception fire is a death sentence, but if your level is high enough then interception fire will barely scratch you, just keep an eye out for gun turrets.

[GyppyGirl2021]

Which is pretty much why I'm going to abuse the skirmish feature to hell and back... XD

[Kaori]

oh and I forgot to tell you to watch out for land mines, those things can be worst than interception fire, equipping the "dud mine" potential might help but its kinda random so still you should be careful around mines.

Don't know if I've gotten that far yet, but it does sound like something to watch out for... *sweatdrop*

[Kaori]

midway you'll encounter them, at chapter 5, you cant see them but if you hear a "click" sound from your unit when they're walking, let them stay very still and have an engineer remove the mine with their tool.
