Wait. What! Lemmings stare at the thread title in disbelief. Another PS3 exclusive scored a 10/10! "Its not Gamespot who cares!". PS3's holiday line up is starting to look pretty damn good. From a non biased reviewer too (Think Fable 2 got 9.5 from OXM).

http://rpgland.com/games/reviews/valkyria-chronicles/

"Valkyria Chronicles is an amazing experience. It's rare, these days, that a game can make such a huge departure from its genre's roots and yet keep the best things about it. It revolutionizes strategy RPGs in such a way that it can be appealing to fans of the subgenre, newcomers, and perhaps even sworn-off non-fans of it. The best thing that could happen now would be a sequel."

BTW heres there criteria for a "legendary" rating.

10 - Legendary. This is almost impossible to obtain. This kind of game only comes around once in a great while. It may even be a couple of years between releases of games like this.

The same site gave Mass Effect a 10, Fallout a 7 and Fallout 2 an 8.

I'd wait for a more reliable source, before you start crazily hyping this game.

Whats more is this game is from SEGA, yes SEGA! The company so many people here dislike...

I've been following Valkyria Chronicles for a while now, I think it got like an 8.8 from some other JRPG website (they imported it)

Can't wait for it!

Who the hell is rpg land?

Anyway great score, but I still don't expect this to do well. Remember Too Human got 8's and 9's in the early reviews, so lets not get too excited.

Didn't know that, but it reinforces my hypothesis that console developers view Americans as having too much money, and not enough brains, to tell them to **** themselves when they charge money for things that should be free*cough* Xbox Live *cough*

"So, have you noticed that our website is crap and nobody gives a toss about it?"

"Well, yeah. So? What can we do about it?"

"Oh, we can do something, my friend. Quite easily."

"What? What? Tell me!"

"It's quite simple. All you have to do is..."

Its going to score between 8-9 in non specialized sites (ie: Gamespot, IGN, etc). But its getting flowers in every RPG and JRPG exclusive sites. Thats why this score wont count very much for the general population.

RPGFan gave it 88%, only 1% higher than Disgaea 3 which got a 7.5 here. I'm thinking this game will probably get AA here, but AAA is still possible.

First reviews are often the most unreliable. They give out SWAG and select which reviewers will get the game first. This does not mean VC is a bad game or that it's not a 10, but just that first reviews are typically the most unreliable.

It did as well as many unknown franchises do in the RPG genre in Japan. It had great sales for a non FF-DQ RPG actually

They also gave Mass Effect a 10/10. I am looking forward to VC (But going to wait to pick it up, already have too many games to play) But here on System wars only Gamespot reviews count and I don't see Valkyria Chronicles getting over a 8.5. I think it would get 7-8.5 strategy role-playing game don't really get alot of love form reviewers.

Yes, you are correct.Go their site and brag about the 10 it got.

That said, VC looks great. I liked the demo.

Is it quite lenghty? And would you class it as an AA or AAA game?

no joke, i think the art style is ugly as hell. The lines are just tacky. Just because its unique does not make it good.
