Just as I predicted after IU (which NEVER had a hype thread as well,) this game is a flop by the rules cows like to employ towards the 360, yet they want to deny or rewrite the rules as soonas they apply to a PS3 game. This game is a FLOP, cows just have to deal with it...AlphaGamer469
This game was not hyped AAA. We would not set ourselves up like that.

But but teh GS is biased agains the PS3!!!

But but teh GS is bribed by Microsoft!!!

Lemmingspot!!!

The games review is being held back to hurt PS3!!!

Give it a rest people 8.5 is a great score.

Blackbond

It is teh Lemmingspot, it was going to be a 10, but Bill Gates ran in at the last moment and paid the reviewer to drop the scroe 1.5, I know I was there watching form the grassy knoll with Big Foot, who is really Jimmy Hoffa (He is hiding from the aliens), :P

Wow so a PS3 exclusive RPG scored the same as the godly Mass Effect (best on PC) and yet lemmings claimed ownage last year saying it was the best game evarrr... another proof of how lemmings overhype their games.

Great score for the people looking forward to this game...as for me, I hate the genre so it could have scored a 2.5 here and I would still feel the same.

did you see Banjo's page review? its 2 pages long and everything is neat and edited hollywood style, you would think the game got a 12.

Valkyria review looks like it was played for 2min and then kicked out the door. It just goes to show you how much better GS treats ms exclusives than sony exclusives.

Went unnoticed till the AA-AAA scores started to roll in, and like it's been stated once the first review hits the hype can't be changed so technically it could have scored pretty much anything and not have been considered a flop....

Valkyria is a true sleeper hit.

Pretty good review as always with Kevin V.

Anyway, i really want this game, i guess that this is my most wanted game since World of Goo, too bad i cant find it here in Mexico yet,  its going to be pretty close for best RPG this year, Valkyria, ToV, FallOut 3.

It's been selling out everywhere, a pretty good sleeper if you ask me (with games like gears of war and such coming out), best buy had some around here in michigan the other day, 4 hours later on my way out of the mall they were out!

[QUOTE="MarloStanfield"]I heard you can unlock the Skies of Arcadia crew in this game is that true?Panzer_Zwei

Yes, Vyse and Aika show up in Senjou no Valkyria:

OH SNAP GANGSTER VYSE AND AIKA CONFIRMEDMarloStanfield
It was confirmed before the game was even released overseas.

I dont think you unlock them. The game seems to randomize what characters you start with and what gets added as you go along. For instance, I got my first group of new recruits added to my Headquarters, made a change, forgot to save, then botched a mission causing me to restart from a save before I got the recruits. When I got my recruits again, it was totally different characters. I have had Vyse since the start of the game.

Well I would find it more hilarious the cows using Gamespot for a reveiw after whining that it is the Lemspot and always underreveiws PS3 games. :D But we shouldn't really look at the review scores. I'm having more fun with ToV, Fable 2, Disgaea 3 than I ever had with MGS 4, or Assassin's Creed.

This is for the better, I think 9 would have lead to a lot of damage control instead of people looking at it as a great game, it really is one of those games that "feels" AAA when you play it though, Gamespot probably wanted to avoid throwing out more AAAs.

Good score, hope for 9.0. But the reasons for it getting 9.0 are very questionable. The AI gets very hard after the first 6 (I think) missions and the story is not the greatest part of the story but it does what it is supposed to do. Where should be a great story in a JSRPG game about a fictional kind of a second WW. :P

Very good score for a game that I haven't really followed all that much, and getting it here on gamespot are really rare these day in my opinion. I will definitely be on the lookout for this game during he holiday to see if they are having any bargain price for it, even though it is relatively new there is always a possibility for this if it doesn't sell well whichI hope doesn't happen.

Based on all of the threads I have read on the wonderful world of SW. Regardless of hype and score lower than a 9 is a flop. So based on that many people will not get this game. I will some time next year but I just had to point out the silliness of this place.

Far from it. I didn't see a single hype thread for this game. I saw several threads after the reviews came out from other sites, but none before the game released. This game is surprising everyone especially coming from Sega. I hope we can expect more titles of this quality from them. Definetly sleeper hit of the year.

[QUOTE="hopesfall2own"][QUOTE="EVOLV3"]

Personally I wouldnt bring up 4 flops. EVOLV3
Just cause of what GS says doesn't mean that the general public thinks so. You'd rather play 1 game than 5? Ok.



Id rather play 1 really good game then 4 mediocre/average ones.

You won't be buying VC then?

Yeah, I don't remebere that being a rule... cause the thing is, some games are clearly made by smaller developers and for them a 7.5 or something might be good, can't say its a flop just cause its below a 9.
