Cool, never thought of this

@@Skynightburst Glad I can help.

Thanks

@@AlpenSkyWatcher You're welcome.

Interesting. I take it this takes place in the same timeline just in different areas?

Never under estimate the scout rush.

Step 2 is "aquire ZM KAR 8 from the Scout Trial" which turns Alicia into the Valkyria Chronicles equivalent of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.

Gotta love South Park Underpants Gnomes reference.

This is my issue with the first game, most levels can be A ranked by just bum rushing Alicia to the flag

@@CWunderA That's an issue on all games. Rank is based on how quickly the mission is completed.

But Pokemon isn't turn based strategy?

ye i tried it now on Steam. Maybe late. But still have Fun!

Word

@@BrutusBongo this, wtf makes Pokémon a strategy game? With the exception of the DS sengoku era spin off, Pokémon games are in no way strategy games

IKR, its story is a masterpiece

It's my first and favourite (and only game) and from what I saw from videos of vc 1 and 4 they look much better than the PSP wich is expected but I still love the game

Calling 3 stroy " not so good" is blasphemy

Personally. I can't choose between 3 and 4 story wise. Because they both are great, 3's story has the great premise and 4 story is feels more like 1 but it improve what I didn't like in the first one (like more more character development and more Villain screen time). I hope 3 get a port or maybe a remake with 3d animated cutscene and has more map design

- RIP Captain Dahau - RIP ZIG - RIP Gusurg - RIP Lydia ( even thou i know she Deserve Slap in the Face )

No Name oh thanks for mentioning that

You should play the 3rd one. There is an English patch for it and you can play it on PPSSPP. Just a suggestion.

i wonder if it is a good idea to just play Valkyria Chronicles 4 beacause i dont want to play all titles

Get off te fence and play 1 and 4! They're far from perfect, but they're so much heart in the series you can't hlep but love it.

can you play through the whole story together?

How does it compare to VC3?

@@indocars1784 Its great get the english patched version

@@CryonicCy oh I finished VC3 and considering whether to buy VC4 or not since some say it's too similar to VC1

@@indocars1784 buy it or be like me pirate the game

I think the game was made specifically for you. It's very much like Fire Emblem from the strategic stand point. The way relationships with troops work, how you utilize and deploy them, the structure of maps and missions. The way you actually move troops in the field is very different, because of the third person real time elements, but honestly that just adds a thrilling level of heart pounding urgency to it rather than changing the flow of the genre. Also, yes. World War II. It's a war story through and through. Definitely get the first one and the fourth one! Skip 2 for your own sake. 3 is worth checking out if you can manage to get it.

@@DeltathRiylaan and on top of that my favorite shooters are third person shooters. Thanks, I'm gonna pick them both up if I don't get them for Xmas. :) I only have a Switch and PS4 so I'd have to hope for a remake of 2&3.

Update: 2 years later, I tried valkyria chronicles 4, and it was a fantastic game, I finished it today. I was wrong!

Update: tried valkyria chronicles remastered, and I enjoyed the game, albeit slightly less than 4.

I hate Valkyria Chronicles 2 and largely disagree with your entire observation of the BLiTZ System. Better? No. Simpler, more basic, easier, yes. It's like baby's first Valkyria. Very easy and dull. However, I like 3. So there's that. Good game, cool story.

Moral of vp2 is dev should not make military school story because many weeboo has school issues and will hate it to the bone

Can you shock troop a tanks engine "sweet spot" on 4 like on the first? I realize this is an old review but love the feel of the game.

well, the Hafen is a Protagonist Tank, hence it is modified and has big boy plotarmour. The one time we actually get to see/use normal Fed Tanks during the assault on Siegval is the Moment in VC1 and 4 where you controll the most Tanks at once, i think 4 including Hafen? Its not really accurate to the lore but thats mostly a gameplay/balancing thing, you cant have your command tank be too fast and too squishy and having too many tanks would kind of take away from the "special" status the Protagonist Tank is supposed to have. I mean, regular human scout units that become invincibel to gunfire and explosives just because some Schoolboy in a tank commander uniform yelled some motivational speech at them real loud isnt really lore accurate either but its there for gameplay purposes^^

I don't think 3 is the best gameplay wise in any way. But it is a great game because it has a cool cast and story and it's totally worth playing. 2 is a mess of garbage and I hate it, though.

2 is bad because western gamer dont like military school. They have issues about it :v

V3 is still my favorite, but I'm really enjoying VC2. well, I see some maps being reutilized and the experience system is weird, but I like the anime like story of military school.

There are the DLC too for both PSP games (the stickers for tanls are good additions xD)

Why do you keep calling it VK?

@@DeltathRiylaan fuck

Jagged Alliance 2 is such a good game in 2005 xD

@@OnslaughterEx it's the best game of all time for me.

VC1 was a major flop, so they tried bringing the series over to the PSP. Years later VC1 was ported to the PC and was a success, so they went back to the original formula with the fourth game.

YellowSuperNintendo Oddly my PS3 copy of VC1 laid mostly unplayed in my collection for almost a decade even tho I knew deep down knew it was excellent.. But I was all over VCII when it came out although still haven’t to this day finished every single mission with the dlc & all.. Played the hell out of VC4 the past couple months so now being no longer rusty I recently I went back to VC1.. Strange story huh?! I do think it’s criminal how we never got the full launch of VC3.. I guess it’s never too late..

The PS3 version doesn't look as good (720p instead of 1080p and the framerate is 30FPS instead of 60). That being said, the game still looks great on the PS3. I started with the PS3 game myself.

@@YSN k thx dude

Separate stories in shared universe

Mouse wheel

@@YSN Thanks a lot. It will be way easier now!

@@YSN on console how?

@@kingmucho4839 Analog.

We still need campaign from Imperial perspective, propably VC5 will be in Far East, becouse one of side character Azusa in VC4 mentioned ,,its a war in my country Far East from East European Imperial Alliance''). So VC5 will be still in Second European War, propably East European Imperial Alliance vs Vinland.

Because Valkyria Chronicles developer (Global Entertainment 2 R&D) was demoted in 2018 after underperforming sales of VC4 (another restructurization in Sega in 2018). Some of devs left Sega, someone were merged into Team Sonic and help them with Phantasy Star 2 New Genesis. No dev team = no games.

That would be the longest video in the this series.

You really don't have to set up the game plus the patch for 3. Just search up the patch and you can download the whole game, english version. It takes less than 5 minutes and it's well worth it. It has the VC2 gameplay but honestly it feels like a remaster of it. Please try it if you have the chance.

There is a patched version in CDromance. DLC too.

It also kind of makes sense, because you don't have to reload a sword. Bayonets were obviously a thing too, so I don't really understand the complaint.

no. dungeon hell is not the same as a fun a tactical game like this

The only difference is Germany is democratic and Ussr is still Monarchy

I still appreciative fans made an English Patch for the game since VC3 was never released in the West.

@@GRIMLOCK07 Yes.. Appreciated that too... i hope by fans doing that SEGA, or the Dev team know that VC3 are an actualy good... and make Remake of this game to PC and PS5, because you know Fans of VC definitly would buy it,.

Are you using your phone to comment on this video

@@corruptedsmile5574 maybe

Fire Emblem: 3 Houses

Jagged Alliance 2 xD

Faz Shara vc2 has a better story?!?! Hmmm...the potential of that game's story is great,but the sheer amount of problem I had noticed ruined it. an equally good angle to focus would have been on Cordelia and the gallian military handling the rebels along with the lanseal academy rather that as an insignificant foot note.as for lanseal itself I had many problems there too.. First of is the cliche protagonist and stereotypical characters (for no good reason too.),I think that there should have been a much stronger focus on both the individual characters themselves and the dynamic between each other (far too little was shown of this as well as there being very little of their lives before/outside the usual military/school setting (we get small details like zeri use to live close to randgriz and has a dad who was a mechanic for service.he has pride for his race and can be dismissive or judgemental to others for obvious reasons.that is all and he his literally one if not the most well defined character in the whole game,a character who has anywhere near as much detail is franca,annasette, alliase and Cosette.most of the others don't has nearly as much and so come of as irrelevant, boring or forgettable. Most of the character growth is on alliase,Cosette and avan.very little besides cliche stories where the ending can be seen a mile away for most of the side characters after the first scene of them (a few like Marion or noel were unexpected but not too surprising). Then there is the rebels.one question that I had was that when the hell did frigging mind control come in (dirk or Leon apparently knew what was happening yet was mind controlled into fighting for the rebels?WTF! When gilbert had his chance but did not kill the archduchess,I was thinking why.I mean wasn't that the whole point of the rebels,to clean the nation of a "faulty ruler"?.as you can see,I had many issues with the story as a whole and though it would be amazing if they were fixed.

Moral of vp 2. Never make story about military school or internet gonna hate it like they hate school

There is a patched version (and DLC) in CDromance. Just search for Valkyria Chronicles 3 Extra Edition patched. You will find undub version of VC2 too.

Wasn't he the same guy who also fought with a bow?

@@YSN john malcom thorpe flemming churchill was his name, he fought in WW2 with bagpipes, longbow, and the Scottish broadsword. Did a quick search to find his name

Not an effective weapon, is my point. It’s just a fact, not an opinion.

@@YSN it's a fictional universe with magical Valkyries and teenagers driving tanks into battle because their parents piloted it in a previous war. Effective goes out the window at that point.

What about bayonetta? XD

I don't think you're insane, I just think most of what you said isn't true. Let me see...

You definitely can get cover behind just about anything. But this isn't a third person action shooter. What exactly are you expecting to happen when you hide behind a building corner? It isn't a hidden %. It's a variation based on the size or your weapon's firing zone, like most games with gun fire. It's easy to see exactly how big that is and guarantee body shots at many distances, but it's a risk reward system. Do you chance the misses by aiming for the head or shoot center mass to guarantee every hit? As for dodging, they don't dodge, you just missed. Aim better or get closer. Enemy AI is generally as competent (or incompetent sometimes) as allied AI. If you mean the map layout when you say level, that's true of any strategy RPG. Literally any. The strategy is in the units you use, which you level, how you gear them up and what orders you give them. Snipers are maybe the best unit in the game. Not even sure how they'd be useless. And while lancers are definitely less useful, it's a strategy game. When they're not useful, you don't use them. When you need a lancer, they're extremely useful. The great thing about Valkyria is how exp works. You distribute it how you see fit, so you can keep lancers in fighting form for when you need them without bringing them along. It's great. You say upgrades are arbitrary. This might just be a misuse of the word, because they're definitely not arbitrary. There's a method. Maybe insignificant is what you meant or unimpactful? That would be closer to true. But that's to make it not 100% essentially to have the newest level for a unit to compete. Grenades are a very potent item. They're not meant to be thrown from very far so as to keep a gameplay balance. If they could be thrown from further, they would be wildly over powered. Same with healing. VC4 has a grenadier class and it is kind of overpowered even with its limitations. Skill system, soldier preferences.. I don't know what to say there. It's par for the course in strategy RPGs to have a lot of stuff to figure out, study and remember. The gameplay is usually about complex systems and strategy rather than blazing fast action. It's a hallmark of the genre. I can definitely see why someone might not like that, but it's definitely just a personal preference rather than a bad thing in the game. Also, the game isn't hard enough for you to need to worry about those anyway. They're more necessary on the harder difficulties or just for fun. Enemies get more soldiers. I mean. Like.. have you ever played a video game? I'd say that's an element of about 99.9% of video games that have enemies. I can't even think of one game (outside of 1 on 1 fighting games, and even those frequently have event battles with more enemies) off hand where the enemy side doesn't generally get more. And that's just game design. You play Mario, there's more than one goomba per stage. This is a strategy game and you have a human brain, which makes you better equipped than the AI. If they didn't get more troops, it would be too easy. Also... This game actually has a story reason for it, too. It's basically a David and Goliath tale. Your small nation has a few small platoons vs. an overwhelmingly more powerful empire filled with thousands upon thousands of soldiers in a war that seems all but lost at the start. Your group is a small, tactical unit making strategic hits at the oppressively more powerful foe. I know I typed a lot, but honestly, this game and this genre really aren't for everyone. It's okay not to like it.

@@DeltathRiylaan Well, when you put it that way. I was probably playing it wrong. Typically, I'll stay with my team I chose at the start of the mission. I mostly have scouts & assaults then switch out at bases when needed because snipers & lancers can't keep up. But that leads to them staying near bases so I can switch out quickly if needed. I quit after my soldiers went Elite, then I went in & got decimated. I'll still return to playing, maybe after watching some KZfaq tips. I swear: enemy facing away. I snipe head. He goes prone. Miss. Gets back up. 😑 Ah screw it. I'm going back to playing tomorrow. 😲 I still like VC.

@@paradoxxor7770 After I typed that all out, I was worried no one would end up reading such a wall of text. Now I'm glad I did, though. I hope you have a blast playing! To be honest, talking about it has me wanting to replay it. I picked it up for Switch since it was only $15 and I thought it would be nice to replay on the go. I may just have to fire it up before I sleep tonight... =D

@@DeltathRiylaan I'm glad VC4 came out on Switch. I'll pick that up after I finish VC1 on PS4. Anyway thanks for your input, it was very informative. 😃
