Critically acclaimed PS3 strategy RPG Valkyria Chronicles has been proclaimed the “best PS3 strategy RPG” by the Guiness Book of Records.
Whilst the prize is admittedly of rather dubious value considering Guiness’ ability to evaluate games apparently extends no further than cribbing scores from review aggregator sites, few could object to some positive publicity for Valkyria Chronicles, which was unfortunately developed by Sega.
Of perhaps even less value is Valkyria Chronicles 2‘s receipt of Gamespot E3 awards for best RPG and best PSP game – considering Gamespot’s reputation in this area this may attest to little more than the size of Sega’s marketing budget.
And yet still Sega refuses to make a proper sequel for the game.
Not much of Guinnes earning scores (86 < 90).
Still, if fans are happy with that, anyone can buy any prize nowadays.
hmm, guinness said that Valkyria chronicles is the best game for the PS3? hmm, maybe i should consider getting this one.
Am I the only one who dislikes Valkyria Cronicles?
You are (not) alone!
Yes.
yeah and my brother said to me to not buy it just because it have no trophies >.>
Don’t worry – one day, your brother is going to realize that trophies/achievements are a big fat waste of time.
It took me 13 Platinum Trophies and several 100% PSN games (included MvC2, which was a complete pain to 100%) to finally realize that I was playing games not for fun, but to increase some arbitrary number.
The game that did it for me was SAW. I borrowed it from a friend, and about 1/3 of the way through, realized it was the worst game I’d ever played and was ONLY playing it to get a few trophies.
Refusing to play games because they lack trophies will mean you are going to miss out on not just Valkyria Chronicles, but also Metal Gear Solid 4, Eternal Sonata and several other great games.
You buy games based on trophies????
Valkyria Chronicles was an amazing game, no-one but sega could follow up a beautiful game like it with the absolutely insulting pile of s♥♥t that is Valkyria Chronicles 2
Sega = making great games and having management turn them to s♥♥t since 1990
