Right now it shows discounts for VC, Lords of the Fallen, Lego Batman 3, AC: Unity, FC 4, EU IV: Art of War and Civ: Beyond Earth.

Ah, yes, I suppose it's because the voucher was only good till November 7th.

Damn, the game unlocks in roughly 27 hours for me. Anyone else?

This reminds me -- I recently went through a playthrough of the game on the PS3 I haven't finished, so I guess I'll be doing that on the PC version then finish the PS3 version some other time.

Is the game better in English or Japanese?

 

Also, fish-sketching is a crime in some parts of the world.

[TheChris92]

I wouldn't know -- Didn't even know there was a language option. Can safely say that I love Dave Wittenberg, Laura Bailey, Robin Atkins Downes and the other neats voices of the english version. The voice acting is top notch with the English version so that's all I really need to know.

Yeah, I'm playing it on English and it isn't half bad. I love that every stage of the game is written into a book of sorts.

I'd say it's in the league of excellent next to Atlus' localization of the Persona games. Doesn' get any better. B ut that goes mainly for the JRPGs I've played, anyway.

 

As for the book -- It'll make sense as you progress the story for certain, but yeah the "Princess-Bride-esque-framed" narrative definitely works for a war-story like this, for sure.

 

Also..

Yay, Valkyria is outselling Unity on Steam!

 

Don't know how long that will last though.

[Chewin]

Finished downloading it just now, though will have to wait until tomorrow for a chance to play it. Have something to look forward to after work for sure.

[Seraphim24]

Yeah I don't know about the Japanese version either, I can say the English version was pretty cool though.

This game is as fun as I remember. There needs to be moar games like this on the PC.

[OdanUrr]

I like that you can play it in short bursts.

 

In other news, Valkyria has taken the #1 spot on Steam's Top Sellers.

Oh, well, it's early in the morning now so I usually check all my news feeds and report anything worth reporting.

[Seraphim24]

I really envy anyone getting to play this for the first time. I wish I could experience it all fresh again. Also, I don't see enough Marina here.

Can someone perhaps explain to me how my squad members' traits and likes impact gameplay?

The only recent review I've been able to find so far:
 
http://www.pcgamer.c...onicles-review/
 
Verdict: 89/100 - "Valkyria Chronicles is one of the most unique and fun strategy games I’ve ever played, despite a few flaws with the port."
 
And here's an in-depth article about the quality of the port:
 
Valkyria Chronicles PC port analysis: Durante's verdict
 

For those who don't want to read it through here's the conclusion:

 

The PC port of Valkyria Chronicles is a no-frills affair, but it delivers all the most essential qualities which should be expected on PC, including arbitrary resolution and framerate support. Its lack of graphics options is easily forgiven taking into account that the quality of all effects scales with resolution, and the artistic intent of its renderer which is inherently less customizable than the average photo-realistic affair. Commendably, it also performs amazingly very well even on modest hardware.

Damn, we got a few more reviews. Updated the OP accordingly but, for what it's worth, it's getting a Metascore of 85 and a User Score of 9.3.

[OdanUrr]

WTF?!? I was about to win and then a lancer one-kills my tank?!?!

 

EDIT: Catherine is a very good sniper.

[Seraphim24]

Yeah that happened to me as well somewhere...

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

This game is near 20GB!

How huge this game can be?

[OdanUrr]

It's all those uncompressed HD cutscenes.

Also, Chapter 7 is awful.

 

Awful how? I'm currently on Chapter 4. I think.
