Valkyria Chronicles 4 Complete Edition

Чудове продовження Хронік Валькрії, як завжди не залишить вас зі сльозами на очах...

I have played VC 1 and 2 before this. 3 is considered separate, so let's ignore that and just stick to why this is a thumbs down. So, in VC 1, you had a group of ragtag people from small towns. You were in control of an irregular force separate from the main regular military, with mostly untrained people who signed up at the top of a war to protect their homes. This is why you have men and women in VC 1. As for VC 2, it's a military academy for the youth to repair their country in the aftermath of the war of VC 1, who are called in to stop a rebellion, which is why it has both male and female heroes. However, VC 3 is not like those. Not only is it a regular force of adults, but it's all about the eye candy. The reason for the beach scene in 1 was because they were being idiots having a party after a tough battle, and that party had real consequences for the team. There was good reason for it, and good writing. To make this worse, the first heavy unit you receive is a woman. Now, I'm no power lifter, but that's a bullcrap position for a woman. Those things are way heavier than the Lances of VC, so it's hard to believe they're carrying them. These women are there to create eye candy for gooners, and I don't like that. 3's not even the same country of Gallia from VC 1 and 2, but it takes place at the same time as VC 1, which means you already know how the war will end, and feel also like all the major stuff of the war happened in 1. This means VC3 feels like it has to compete with the story of VC1, rather than extending it into new realms. But then, of course, I can still recommend VC1 just fine. Go play that if you haven't. It's a fantastic game.

awesome sauce

Rating: 4/5 ---- Great! --------------------------------- There is a lot to VC4, but if you don't like strategy games, most of it is garbage. However, if you do like turn-based games (with a tinge of active systems), then VC4 is a competent installment in the genre that is worth trying out especially if you like romance in your stories. Cons: The mission structures can be incredibly cheap/frustrating, especially when objectives are hidden/changed during the mission. This promotes replayability, but it cuts into the enjoyment the first time through a mission. And this happens constantly. This game needs an auto-advance option for dialogue. Because it doesn't, be prepared to press A/OK thousands of times during your playthrough. RNG is the worst it has ever been in a VC game. Do you like save-scumming? You better effing should cuz if not you are in for a rough time, chica. If you are aromantic, this game's story truly has nothing to offer. The only threads that hold this game up are will they/won't they stories. Pros: There is a lot to do in the Complete Edition that it can be overwhelming at times. There are nice side/extra missions that add a lot of color to the world. There are post-game activities, as well as DLC that gives even more party members. The True End is worth it, imo, and since over 10% of Steam players also got that achievement, it seems many agree. Almost everything is voice-acted, something that adds a lot of character to this game. Agarest would never. All in all, this is a good game that is only made great if you like anime/strategy games, which is very niche. VC1 has the better heart, but VC4 is the better game.

一个具有优秀玩法和出色美工的游戏完完全全被操蛋的剧本给完全毁掉了。 首先是及其低幼的文案，主角团和NPC们作为职业军人，做事行为逻辑和谈吐仿佛三岁小孩。游戏中充满了热血漫中常用的低智商对话，仿佛在战场上想打赢战争，你需要的是友情和羁绊而不是高精尖的武器和职业战斗素养（更别提游戏中充满了弱智一般的战术：拉兹这个人虽然讨厌，但还是送的及其莫名其妙。你tm就算让他执行自杀式攻击，就不能想办法给他留条后路吗？真就是等他打完了就完全不管了，真是日了狗了，不愧是日本人） 然后就是剧情，当我看到主角团接到一个用类似于原子弹的超级武器去轰炸敌方首都的任务的时候，我就暗道不好，以日本人这个德行，这颗原子弹绝对不会爆，这已经是他们的政治正确了。结果到结局果不其然，前几章宁愿把好基友坑死也要完成任务的主角，到引爆的关键时刻，突然圣母拒绝执行任务，满口放屁假大空什么爱与和平。他的行为不仅要上军事法庭，也完全对不起为了自由（存疑，联邦干的畜生事也不少）而牺牲的千千万万的军民（打进首都了还能和谈的战争我是第一次见到，小日子还是会做梦的）。虽然能感觉出这个游戏的主旨是反战，但其实它完完全全就是在娱乐化战争，仿佛一群高中生在玩过家家的战争游戏，完全起不到反战的作用

鼙鼓不赖

游戏机制是女武神系列一贯的作风，人物强度也可以兼顾体验剧情的玩家和有挑战欲的玩家。唯一的缺点就是，剧情结局有点糟糕，剧情连贯性差一些，像是删减过的
