Valkyria Revolution Review! Epic Story, Trash RPG? (PS4/Xbox One)

[@DreamcastGuy]

I am really sad this wasnt better. What is one game you hyped yourself up for that didnt live up to what you hoped?

[@albertrism]

Mighty No. 9, a game I really wanted to be good, but when I played it I was very disappointed.

[@melahill4257]

DreamcastGuy Prototype and Pro Skater 5.

[@geraldbantolino3475]

DreamcastGuy play a snes game named Seiken Densetsu 3 if you play you will feel similar gameplay with this.

[@GamingKick]

I was really hyped for Far Cry Primal...but FC without guns and explosions isn't the same!

[@L0L247]

DreamcastGuy I know a lot of people will agree on No Man's Sky. The trailers were so awesome.

[@alanwake4442]

Sega needs to do an HD remaster for Valkyria Chronicles 2.

[@mpm8503]

I just want a new traditional Valkyria Chronicles :(

[@raptorcell6633]

Jeff Tyler not really

[@floshjix02]

The game isnt valkyria chronicles good grief

[@16xthedetail76]

This game is called valkyria revolution not valkyria chronicles revolution. I'm so sick of people whining about it being different.

[@RazzeeTV]

I totally agree! The game should be reviewed as it is, not compared with Valkyria Chronicles. Sick of these reviews. Only people that play it with a open-mind or never heard about VC can really enjoy the game, it seems!

[@energytrail315]

Yeah I loved Valkyria Chronicles, and I love too this because I didn't need it to be another Chronicles and I enjoyed the new style of gameplay Revolution brings!

[@InugamiTheHound]

yes! finally inseams like everyone thinks this sequel or direct spin off. But its a different game.

[@TagHowling]

I found it good

[@retroislandboy9708]

what alot of people need to realize is its not valkyria chronicles but it doesnt mean its a bad game. its the same in any game series . you have low points and high points. but it doesnt mean its bad. my favorite series of all time is the Tales OF Series ...they have some games that are not the greatest ...but i could never say they were bad because i still love playing them for what they are...others were better yes. but to each his own . im glad you did point out the story . good video either way

[@xx_yaboymj_xx165]

I remember seeing the limited edition for $40 and being excited.. Then I thought about it and realized something wasn't right..

[@JamieZero7]

I actually enjoy the combat. Kinda like parasite eve. And also allows you to do fast and strong attacks. But I think it works. Not only that we have the morale system which is good. Because that's really important in wars. As history notes with battles. It's hard for games to get this mechicanic right and i does feel good in this game. We also have the great story to go along with it.

[@sandbakk77]

Been a really, really bad day so far. Then I got home to this. Now I'm happy again. :-)

[@DreamcastGuy]

Well hopefully everything for the rest of your day is awesome. :D

[@sandbakk77]

Thanks, man.Your videos always cheer me up, so I'll just binge a few. That'll be awesome. :-D

[@ShadowsAmbition]

I would buy it again too if I could play VC3 in English!

[@GamingKick]

All 3 Valkyria chronicle games on 1 disc...that would be too good to be true! 😔 Sad to hear it turned out that bad!

[@demarcoadkins]

Well if anything the battle system is different but how you do have to wait for your characters ring to load is a huge factor and downside I can also see players having difficulties in battle because of that, but I am a huge fan of Valkyrie profile and Valkyrie chronicles games so I would still play them, I will say I also love turn base RPG games as well, a 6/10 is a standard rank for this game.

[@SundownTE]

I totally hated VR's gameplay and loved almost everything else 😢

[@chickenfillets]

Thanks for reviewing. This is getting a Vita release as well which I was looking at getting, maybe if it goes on sale cheap it might be worth it.

[@vincentkiu694]

I had the game for quite some time already but too many good games had no time for them n valkyria revolution juz lay there somewhere. its so disappointed to hear that it wasn't good. now am playing ysviii but mayb I am too old for this type anime games...

[@auroranoir]

Sorry I tried to watch your video, but your cadence is just too artificial and repetitive and has no bearing on what you're saying. Please just speak normally and keep up the good work!

[@maarekstele2815]

The original Valkyria Chronicles was an awesome game. It got a re-release or re-master on PS4 fairly recently. I'm not sure what you meant by mentioning that you were pretty sure SEGA did not want us to connect the two games. It was a fantastic game that should have celebrated any connections.

[@OzzieCrackers]

that's ashame, I really wanted it to be good cause I love valkyria Chronicles

[@Serje397]

+OzzieCrackers It's not even bad, it's just a different type of game. Play this game with a mindset that it's not like Valkyria Chronicles and you'd probably like it.

[@otroweonllamadoseba]

@@Serje397 nah, it is too slow for a hack n slash, too fast to be strategy and too simple to be an rpg. It's not really good

[@bacchusbx]

What a disappointment for a great idea (having a different type of game in parrallel of the main series) and what could have been an amazing expansion of a series that is, sadly, unknown though excellent. Edit: Come on dude, why say "bring Valkyria chronicles 3 to America" ? it was only a Japanese release (and only on the PSP) so i guess WE also would like to be able to play it, You know this other peasants continent called Europe. Thanks for showing your unilateral vision.

[@manculichstyle8096]

you the best man i look forward to seeing your videos all the time man keep up the good work

[@retrovideogamejunkie]

02:27 Like all those mobile rpg , right? This game was though for PSVita first?

[@zacharytreat6461]

The combat is so incredibly easy that it takes away any sort of challenge. Even if you're being absolutely smashed you can just constantly resurrect your allies which gives both party members a second of invincibility. Compared to the previous three games, this difficulty is just incredibly dull, and makes the already stunted combat feel weaker. I just hope Sega uncharacteristically takes the failure of this title in stride, and listens to the fairly universal criticism of its combat system and bland animations to improve and create a proper entry to the main series.

[@KazeVongola]

The combat reminds me of Parasite Eve, which was good. Gonna give the game a chance regardless of its bad gameplay, because I'm interested in the story and characters. Good thing they didn't try selling it for 60$, they probably knew they fucked up. Does it have dual audio as rumored?

[@xshadowscreamx]

They should have just cut out the middleman and just made the game as a visual novel.

[@DreamcastGuy]

Actually I didnt even think of that. Very smart idea. Maybe that is what they were trying to do since everyone just stands around.

[@Spicypuff]

I got a question regarding the game. Can i just play as one character? Or do i have to switch betweem them because i rather just play as the guy with the bustersword type weapon and go from there.

[@thelastgogeta]

As far as I can tell, you could get away with just playing with the buster sword dude but given that you will encounter some challenges which need you to switch (if only to revive someone, use magic or a healing skill)... It isn't recommended. This isn't Devil May Cry where a good player could definitely beat the game with no upgrades and even make it look cool. You will be taking damage and probably fail the mission immediately when your life goes down. Be sure to have teammates who support your playstyle in this game even if you don't use them much.

[@Spicypuff]

Alright, i'll take that into consideration. Im just not used to always playing as difrent characters but the game seems fun enough.

[@casthedemon]

Honestly this seems more my speed. The "flaws" seem like positives for me.

[@melahill4257]

Shame. I really loved the combat system for Valkyria Chronicles. I was hoping it would be similar to that.

[@Serje397]

I'm confused, you said the game was bad even though you pointed out some positives? Is it like Sonic 06 bad or is it just meh?

[@thelastgogeta]

It is no Sonic 06 but it may as well be given the standards people have for the Valkyria games (Chronicles or not). The action and strategy are shallow (rather than sprawling with options and risk like prior games). The story is let down by the presentation (it is even more unpleasant than the PSP games in some regards not just the original PS3 game).

[@Serje397]

thelastgogeta But Sonic 06 is like...one of the worst games of all time. Literally everything about it was shit. You're telling me it's on par with that?

[@thelastgogeta]

I didn't say it was Sonic 06 trash, just that the line between broken but funny (Sonic 06) and boring and unbalanced (this game) isn't worth discussing at length when this game is full price.

[@Serje397]

+thelastgogeta I'm sorry but imo Sonic 06 does not fall in the broken but funny category. There's nothing to enjoy about that game.

[@thelastgogeta]

Wow. I stand corrected. $40 may not redeem the game, it isn't 60 or 70 like I assumed. Even the UK price is cheaper than I'd expect. On Sonic 06, feel free to hold your opinion. I don't think the gap between "broken but funny" and "nothing to enjoy" is that big.

[@ihatevoyager]

It's a great story though. The gameplay is serviceable enough.

[@khaz661letsplaysmore5]

sad that they didn't even try to fix/update it after it was released ....

[@lordvasileLive]

Unfortunately its not as bad as a game as you all may think. Sure its clucky gameplay without direct orders so much allies in 1 spot lol. The gauge you complain about to attack reminds of ff13 ATB gauge @ least I'm evading around in circles or guarding with a shield or such. I'm an story driven game player which so much of these voice actors are from Cold Steel 4.

[@fullmetalgamer6062]

It needs more gameplay, I can agree with that.

[@Theottselmaster]

Found 2 on psp a while ago. Need to play it just such a shame Sega wont remaster it for ps4.

[@tgb869]

Definitely gonna wait for a massive drop in price.

[@TheAgeofWarriors]

How come you never reviewed Yakuza 0? Thanks!

[@albertrism]

I hear this series is very good and I really wanna try it out, which one do you recommend?

[@thelastgogeta]

Start from the beginning. The first game (Valkyria Chronicles) is fantastic and available on the PS3, PC and PS4 (the latter two are best and have all DLC on disc). The numbered sequels are Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3, sadly only on the PSP with the 3rd being Japan only officially aside for a fan translation, cameos and an art book. The 3rd has a good reputation but I wouldn't recommend playing them out of order since they are in a similar time frame and the same universe. Valkyria Revolution isn't connected to them at all besides some recurring tropes and even screws up the gameplay.

[@albertrism]

Thanks I will try them out.

[@amyar123]

Wnsnma

[@jairoflores85]

Lmaoooo chess with machine guns 😂🤣😂🤣

[@Zanji1234]

hm... we have 3 Valkyria Games which where excellent Strategy games... how we get new players into LETS MAKE A ACTION GAME

[@Serje397]

Zanji1234 That's like complaining about a new Mario game because it plays more like an RPG than a platformer.

[@Zanji1234]

"its like complaining about a new CIV game when it plays more than an RTS" ... same thing. The PS3 game was an excellent strategy RPG and had it's fans. Now they have this.... action whatever mixture which does not work

[@MI2Dragon86]

Good review, but what's up with the inflection at the end of sentences?

[@stevelawson7595]

this game sounds way too stressful to play. Probably is not for me.

[@wackaholic3689]

Well that's disappointing. I was thinking about getting this game, but I think I'll pass now. *Sigh*

[@nickwick35]

Still getting it for the story :D

[@gureguru4694]

PROTIP ON HOW TO TELL A GOOD JAPANESE GAME: if its also on xbox its probably trash.

[@Gamingnstuff131]

This game is horrible. There’s hardly anything worthwhile to recommend it to someone. It’s just that bad. The Valkyria Chronicles games are the way to go.

[@achaudhari101]

From what I heard, Sega did too much ass kissing with this game to a point where it became a checklist. Seriously you have to have Asperger's to think a hack and slash was the best idea for a Valkyria Chronicles game and be on drugs to incorporate the RPG strategy element in a hack and slash game. Unless it's Dark Souls, hack and slash and RPG strategy makes as much sense as oil and water. We didn't ask for a hack and slash Sega.

[@achaudhari101]

Not this one though. Those games were based on hunting and roleplaying like Monster Hunter. This had no right to change it up.

[@thegreatbritishgamer751]

What are you implying with that Aspergers comment. That people with Aspergers are dumb and like dumb things? because thats ubsurd and incredibly ignorant.

[@fullmetalgamer6062]

People with aspergers can be smart, but I understand that you want to be a deluded douchebag.

[@clockdownrme]

You do understand that most people with aspergers are more intelligent than your typical person, right? I will never understand derogatory comments about autism as it's not only extremely offensive but also heavily unnecessary. And yes, I have aspergers. So this struck a chord with me. Please revise your comment.

[@TheMabiNerd]

Asperger's is a social disability, I don't understand your analogy here.

[@daktaklakpak5059]

Its highly hypocritical to complain about the wait time of the Attack Bar to refil. While at the same time praising Trash Souls for its "amazing" combat. When you do the same, waiting for pointless Stamina Bar/Attack Bar to refil! Because its so fun to watch a little bar fill itself until you can act again! Garbage outdated gamedesign from garbage developers who're stuck in game design limbo!

[@herodotus6235]

What a waste. This game could have been stunning. A beautiful game with what looks like an interesting story, ruined by empty action based bullshit.

[@herodotus6235]

Won't be buying.

[@Estellise64]

I still want to play the game myself, but I am going to wait until decent price cut. No way I am going to waste $60 for borefest.

[@TheDefiniteKingHomie]

It's actually only $40, I wouldn't blame you for still waiting for a price cut though

[@ngchloe4877]

35 dollars on xbox one

[@princemalonzo5985]

I love the character design but the game SUCK...and yep boring

[@KevUrbie]

Terrible execution of a good idea. It's like games are becoming more and more shit.

[@kananchan7995]

what a disaster.....

[@ngchloe4877]

ff type-0 this ain't

[@zawette]

new valkyria game wooot

[@Kingweyland]

zawette I wouldn't get my hopes up if I was you... I'm playing it right now and it's trash compared to chronicles

[@PalVarga-hx9xw]

Negative video don't watch

[@xzs432]

um the intro is louder than the rest of the video please fix it!

[@Orunitor]

why does every word you say sound like your asking a question? you have no tone, no emotion, its painfull listening to you. again, everything you say based on your lack of tone and emotion sounds like your asking a question
