  • @thehightree3049
    @thehightree3049 Před 7 lety +123

    As a Valkyria Chronicles fan, when I saw there was a new Valkyria Chronicles game, I was so excited for a reboot..... Then I saw that it was an ARPG. That tilted me off the face of the Earth, it was basically around the same rage a fan of Metroid had for Federation Force, America hadn't gotten an official release of the VC games since they released it on PC, which was just the first one, and the first one they released basically stuck up a middle finger for the people who liked the original gameplay? That made me irreversibly hate this game, to the point that I don't even want to look at it anymore.

    • @Ravemaster620
      @Ravemaster620 Před 7 lety

      I'd heard a lot of good stuff about VC and became interested in the characters after playing as some of them in Project X Zone. I was hoping this was going to be good but from the looks of things, it doesn't look that way. From your comment, I'm guessing the originals were a lot better, right?

    • @familyplayer1
      @familyplayer1 Před 7 lety

      And at least with Federation Force Nintendo had the budget to take such a (dumb) decision. I don't think the Valkyria games have made nearly enough to risk things and try something the fans don't want. Maybe this game will be the "Atelier Iris" of the Valkyria games...

    • @thehightree3049
      @thehightree3049 Před 7 lety +3

    One of the worst things JRPGs do (and countless of them do this) is the dialogue problem he discusses, where EVERY character talks in turn in circular dialogue that goes absolutely nowhere. I always wonder why Japanese developers are so obsessed with filling every scene with endless talking.

  • @DJWeapon8
    @DJWeapon8 Před 7 lety +3

    Only played VC2 and 3 with an English mechanics patch.
    The gameplay revolved around taking calculated risks when choosing squad members, taking into account their role and equipment. Careful planning in how you're going to accomplish the mission. Tactical positioning, placing your squad members in the most advantageous position not only for themselves but for the team as a whole. Map knowledge, knowing shortcuts, enemy camps, where the enemy is positioned, etc. Basically, a very good _strategy game._
    Saw this video for the new game, and I have to say.
    Weightless, mindless hack and slash combat that isn't even satisfying and even if you were, it got old *fast.* Very much like how I felt with any and *every* dynasty warriors game.

    I read that the Japanese community received this title with quite some negative feedback.
    I don't know why you should completely change the gameplay from nice tactical turn based to real-time action, even though this is a spinoff.
    People been craving for a new Valkyria chronicles since VC2 and VC3 came out only on PSP (Which was a stupid move and VC3 never got localized). So for the majority of people, they played only the 1st on PS3/PC.

  • @Brassmamba
    @Brassmamba Před 3 lety +11

    Ngl, I love this game, strategic gameplay while playing a hack and slash, fantastic music, pretty good story, and good character development. I think this was a good direction for what could be a great series if some things were tweeked. I agree with the story being split between to view points all the time is a horrible idea. I hate going back to the granddaughter and student, seems irrelevant and waste time. The second thing is just how slow the game is at some points. Dialogue is pretty slow, cutscenes are way to long at some points, the run is slow in non battle areas, and the grind is atrocious for not having extra content like in the original. But I hope Sega makes another with the major fixes in the game.

  • @L-kun
    @L-kun Před 7 lety +4

  • @Riku91
    @Riku91 Před 6 lety +1

    Bought it on Black Friday's sale, only at 16.99€ and it is worth it, in my opinion. The ATB was hateful in the beginning,until I got those useful Haste-spells which made the battles much more enjoyable. The story was what I feared most,but luckily enough even with the long scenes,the writing is pretty good and this is what matters the most to me in a JRPG.

  • @jandercon8461
    @jandercon8461 Před 6 lety +1

    I havn't got any experience in the other Valkyria games, but do enjoy the game.
    I agree with most (if not all) the negative points here; but for my opinion this review is a bit harsh.
    On the action gauge, it's supposed to make combat slower / want to force you to be a bit more carefull at the start of battles. When the enemy has more force the action gauge will recharge slower.
    Once the battle get's some momentum; either by slaughtering the enemy fast (rocket launcher / grenades / magic / ... ) the odds of winning will increase; and as a bonus effect the action gauge will speed up.
    If you pay attention to it, for me it helps to make the game more immersive.
    All in all a good review :)

    • @Ixs4i
      @Ixs4i Před 7 lety

      the reason to it shifting to a military academy setting makes sense, since in 2 gallia was in a civil war state and in that universe, the military wont do jack in internal conflicts so they send the military academy students
      also in 3 the chick with the lancer sword custom made it which means it isnt even standard military grade, dont shit your pants. also its timeline is simultaneous with 1 so yeah

    • @TheRyderShotgunn
      @TheRyderShotgunn Před 7 lety +1

      Right, yes, first of all, not involving *the military* in a civil war for any reason is a plot contrivance. And literally any other semi-military force would be infinitely preferable to a collection of *children* still learning the ropes. Say, oh i don't know, pulling a random word out of the hat here, *the militia!?* The famous war hero of EWII and his wife who's a *FUCKING GODDESS OF WAR!?*
      As for the gun-sword, I'll actually look into it a bit more and get back to you.

    • @TheRyderShotgunn
      @TheRyderShotgunn Před 7 lety +1

      Im back from VC3's wikia and maaaan is the Var(the apparent name of the massive fuckoff gunsword) the stupidest thing in Valkyria Chronicles. It is essentially a multi-weapon that transforms into a machine-gun, a sniper rifle and an anti-tank gun, as well as a good old massive fuckoff sword. And we're talking about a period of time when the Edelweiss was a luxury to the Gallians! In addition to the pure stupidity of the idea of of a small, neutral and pacifist nation having a penal black-ops team with the freedom to arm themselves with weapons not even its own military has access to(and by the way, "penal" basically means this particular military branch is composed of criminals for the most part. Yeah. ), the idea of such technology even existing in this point in time is completely idiotic! Not to mention that the only people to wield weapons of equal or even greater size are:
      1. Lancers, whose weapons are anti-tank rocket launchers without the components or ammunition for 2 other weapons in addition to a massive sword, and mostly have a background in bodybuilding in order to be able to lug around their launcher and 4 warheads at any one time in addition to their armor!
      2. Valkyrur, who all use some mystical control of Ragnite to be able to heft their lance and shield. Also the prince from VC1, who used massive energy cells mounted into a super-heavy tank to imbue himself with power equal to that of a valkyrur.
      I dont care how much that scrawny little darcssn girl wants revenge, she is NOT hauling that massive pile of metal around the place without putting it in the back of a truck.

    @axis1247 Před 7 lety +22

    All they had to do was keep the same game they made the first time and improve on it, the characters were already loved and well written, the story was pretty solid, and the gameplay, improvement and squad customization systems were great. Add some new weapons, solider/vehicle types, graphical improvements here and there, maybe sprinkle in a few new mission types and little systems while staying true to the original gameplay, write a compelling war story with a compelling cast (which we all know they can do) and you've got what shouldve been VC 2- 4. Valkaria Chronicles could've been THE strategy game with the potiential to over take the Fire Emblem series but no, like most other properties involved with Sega somebody fucked up what should've been a very simple formula.

  • @OdurntheBlacksmith
    @OdurntheBlacksmith Před 7 lety +3

    I love Valkyria Chronicles to the point that im considering getting a tattoo of the first game, but when i first heard about this game it made my heart sank. The original game is amazing and tells the story fluidly and meshes with the gameplay nicely, I see no reason to revamp the brand into what I feel, in my own opinion, is a worse combat system that is never really meant to contain much story.

    @tales_of_mr96z25 Před 7 lety +2

    You know I didn't like it at first but the more I play the more I like it yes they have way to many cut scenes but that just makes more to the story and the only thing I dislike in the game is the way a few people talk like the princess is awful but apart from that I just don't think people want to accept this game since the Valkyrie Chronicles was such an amazing series

  • @gettingartsywithalobster1949

    I'm really enjoying this game with like 5/6-ish + hours into it. First title in the series I've played and the world and characters seem interesting. However I'll say these are valid complaints about the game that could have been improved on. 10/10 Solid and fair review.

    That is the only game in the Valkyria series I have played, in fact I didn't even know it was a series before that. Do the other Valkyria games have turn based tactical gameplay like Chronicles did or if not what kind of games are they, and are they good?

      No, they're supposed to pay homage to the original material, or add something interesting to the table. This just looks like water down Dynasty Warriors with little to no depth or proper game design, certainly not compared to the original game.

  • @caseycuster7388
    @caseycuster7388 Před 7 lety +7

    Got mine! First day impressions, for 40$ with pin and soundtrack is really cool.
    The 5 second load times are one thing, but they're at least 5 seconds about 5 times per EVERY cinematic, like it needs to reload everything just to pan the camera to another character (which explains why characters talk off screen a lot). I usually don't mind long loading as I'll just screw with my phone, but they're short enough to prevent that, long and often enough to be annoying. Maybe a ps4 pro and/or a SSD installed would alleviate it a bit.
    The battle system is pretty fun so far, I liked it. Definitely the strength of the game. I like taking cover, barking orders then rushing in exploiting weaknesses. True it doesn't seem they immediately or accurately follow your orders, orders are given like Tales games, but as I can tell no way to adjust the AI scripts or control other characters.
    I like the cast so far and am intrigued as to the whys of the revenge story and see myself finishing it.
    I've heard worse voice acting, and I like the art style. Some backgrounds have that painted on canvas look and graphically it's very pleasant.
    For 40$ I'd recommend it so far, can't give it a score yet.

    • @thewalkerconnect
      @thewalkerconnect Před 7 lety

      I agree, so far it's great and definitely worth the $40. I don't understand people. It's a spin off for crying out loud. I actually hope they make more spin offs like this. I like both this and Chronicles. I'm a versatile gamer so, I'm pretty good at a lot. No hate for the game from my end. At this point I think most people now are following others because, it's cool to hate Revolution lol. Guess I'm different from the crowd.

    • @traynorfong
      @traynorfong Před 6 lety

      ironscorpio dont under stand the crazy amounts of hate people are too spoiled by open world games. Loading screens are just a mild inconvenience not game breaking. Its also just a spinoff like you guys said. Heavy exposition kinda comes with the territory and the game play shown is within the first hour so I dont believe them for a second. I don't mind if you openly say first impressions but to judge a game that quickly.

    • @traynorfong
      @traynorfong Před 6 lety

    Pretty sad since I was excited for this, but the gameplay does look a little tiresome. I really really love TRPGs, so I think I'll pass on this. Maybe until the price goes way down.
    I mean, visually the game is quite stunning, but I totally agree, I'd rather play the actual game than have the battle interrupted 7 different times mid-fight. Uugghh. Need for games like Valkyria Chronicles.

    i love the story tho. many details seemed so real, not pretentious nor fairytale-ish. the devil side also have very rish characters, like Maxim did not slain Emperor when he determined to quit, like Emperor spare his life when Maxim turned his back to him. This is a rare game of very detailed depiction of wartime , albeit the gameplay, specially that Gilouche Boss fight 1 HP bug drove me crazy, this game worth my 13 euro.
    if you do like story and music, this is a nice experience. if you don't own it, then forget about it.

  • @PlebNC
    @PlebNC Před 7 lety

    I like how all the comments are complain it's not the same gameplay style as VC1 or 2 even though there's a dev interview on the official Playstation Blog (at least the European one anyway as that's the one I go to) where they state that Valkyria Revolution is intended as a seperate sub-franchise in the Valkyria franchise, i.e. Valkyria is the brand, Valkyria Chronicles is the turn-based tactics games and Valkyria Revolution is different from that. Think of it like the Tom Clancy games which has the Tom Clancy brand name and sub-franchises like Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon. That doesn't mean I'm saying this game is good, but just that people seem to be comparing apples or oranges on the basis they both have the same fruit producer's sticker on them.

      Honestly, they can keep it. I wouldn't want to play this if it was a perfect port with 4k resolution and free DLC integrated into a lowered launch price. They have killed Valkyria Chronicles, buried it's corpse and danced on it's grave.
      The first one was great and they should have kept improving on it's concept every new iteration. Instead they made the dumb decision, changed the platform to mobile following the japanese mobile gaming craze, ended up breaking the gameplay into sectioned map parts due it.
      And now they decided to not only abandon the original platform (console), but also the concept. This series is dead. RIP.

    You did not even finish the game as you say during the video. You complain about cut scenes suggesting they should be played while playing the missions :'). Do you actually know how the story is delivered in a jrgp? By the way, as I recall the previous games were exactly the same. Tons of scenes in between one or two battles per chapter. Nice review really. You have 3+ milion subs. What is the purpuse of making a rant review only to be part of the "this game is shit, it's not like the first game" fashion ? This game is not perfect but it doesn't deserve all the hate that the community is giving to it. The truth is that nowaday a developer can't try something new because the people complain about everything because it's cool to do it.
