So I just played the VC demo and I am throughly impressed, not only is the Cell shading the best I've ever seen but the gameplay is really something special its like Advance Wars with a 3rd person shooter mix its actually damn amazing.

the one thing I keep hearing is that the story is lacking is this true and would you recomend it b/c I just bought R2 and MGS4 and after I beat those I think I might pick this up

I personally think it was the best game to come out on PS3 last year next to MGS4. Definitely something to look into IMO, game's amazing.

I agreed. Best PS3 game (next to MGS4, even though I haven't even finished MGS4). I would even consider it better than Uncharted, Prince of Persia, and Mirror's Edge. The gameplay in Valkyria Chronicles is in a league of its own. Nothing comes close to it, and its not even that complicated.

As far as the story goes, its not the best of the best but it still makes you want to find out whats going to happen next. The characters could have been more interesting but they're still good. There is also quite a bit of replay value, mainly the harder difficulty on skirmishes.

To sum it all up it truly makes you feel as if you are the commander of a militia army.

The game is alot of fun. I like the story, but I kinda hate how it's broken up.

For example:

ch 1

1 minute story: new chapter unlocked. 1 minute story: new chapter unlocked. 1 minute story: new chapter unlocked. PLAY GAME new chapter unlocked 1 minute story: new chapter unlocked. 1 minute story: new chapter unlocked.

Repeat for each chapter.

I like my game experience to seamlessly blend story and gameplay.

Yeah. the tutorial is a battle that has to do with the story. Skirmishes are the ones that basically dump a whole bunch of soldiers in your path and talls you to mo em down.

I was able to do the first skirmish on hard in one turn, then I tried the second one on hard and got a thorough beat down, lol.

I too must say that this game is amazing. I just finished MGS4 and Resistence 2 last week and now have started on Valkyria Chronicles. Im only a couple of hours into the game and so far it's been great. I highly recommend it. There actually is a great story and great characters.

My feelings exactly....I didn't really see the need for it to be that way either. You have to sit through 10 or so minutes of cut scenes, some of which are well-done game engine cutscenes, but others that are "wait for line to scroll across the screen, press X" are just such an incredible bore. The 10 minutes of cut scenes wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to go through the chapters and choose each individual story portion. If you could just watch the entire thing in one ten minute burst, it probably wouldn't be so bad, but as it is...it's really annoying.

But if you played Disgaea you should b use to that.

Don't know who's saying that, but the story was just as awesome as the rest of the game. Was nice seeing another great game coming from Sega. I picked this up the first day, amazing experience. It'll last 50+ hours for sure and has a pretty unique way of telling this fabulous story. Don't let this one go man.

Also, just a warning, if you plan on getting this game get it soon. This seems like one of those great games that came out with a whisper, so there's no telling when it'll become a task alone to find it at your usual game stores.

This game was awesome, definitely one of the best games for the PS3. Like stated above, if you loved the demo, then you'll love the game even more. Once I played the demo I was hooked. Easily one of my favorite games of 2008.

Just get VC. It's the best game on the PS3 in my opinion. I love everything about it. Even if the story isn't top-notch, it should not deter you from getting the game. The story is still good though, so it's not even an issue. Just buy it.

It's a must-own PS3 game. It's my second favorite, next to MGS4.

This game is a must have. It definately is a unique game where while it's a SRPG, it is more of a Final Fantasy Tactics meets WWII shooter.

More people should buy this game, it's a great game which has too low sales (0.35m according to vgchartz). Sega will never release Yakuza 3 in western territories if we don't buy other great games they release.

I was initially a bit iffy about this game too, (but after ordering it from amazon it took only 3 days to arrive), it's now one of the best additions to my PS3.

The ending is so nice, i haven't seen ending like this for very long time, well presented and very satisfiying unlike any other game nowadays which is mostly cliffhanger or confusing. I'm glad to have VC.

VC has got to be one of the greatest games I've played in a long while (yes, it's that good!). I can play it for hours and never get bored (sadly I get bored quickly, lol). It's definitely a worthy addition to your game library. It's simply a must have title!:D

I hate it when I'm ready to buy a game and then its not at the store. I almost want to choke the employees there. But then when I actually do find it at a store it makes so happy its scary. I practically run and grab it off the shelf and throw it at the cashier and say "I'll TAKE THIS! MWAHAHAHAH!!!!!" Thats why I don't like buying things online,...it takes te fun away from me.

VC was an amazing game. It and MGS4 are the only things I miss about my PS3.
