What happened to Valkyria Chronicles?

VC4 was good. I liked it.
I wonder how bad 3.5 is

niche strategy series
2 and 3 were psp only
that denuvo shit on pc
sega releasing 4 at the same time with popular titles like spiderman 4
not even raita tits saved it this time

Sega thought it would do better if they ignored the Western market (core audience), put it on a shitty handheld, and changed the theme to school shenanigans. 4 tried too hard to run it back by making I Can't Believe It's Not Selvaria have a happy ending with Jaeger-lite and throwing fanservice everywhere. I still liked it overall, but a lot of parts rubbed me the wrong way.

no one likes SRPGs anymore unless they have waifubait

The PSP releases killed it
2 was bad and 3 was Japan-only

what happened? they released 4 of them, with the last one being quite recent.

VC1 wasn't even popular in the west back then
PC port sold well tho

This is bullshit, the PC port did well, so the PSP games have nothing to do with it

First one sold like shit and we still ended up getting 4 whole ass games in the series. that in itself is a miracle. be grateful.

I have the remastered first game and 4th game on my backlog shelf
Convince me to prioritize it

Peaked with 3
4 needed just as much waifushit, put in pairings ala nuFE and the game would've sold shitloads
Or at least some heroine routes to bring in that moebuta cash

>4 sold poorly because it tried too hard
No it sold poorly because it's overpriced.
At least on pc.
I was going to buy it but fuck paying $80.

>the insane regret Sega has for killing Selvaria

Was it really hard to bullshit magic her back instead of just making clones?

This, i will buy it if its 30$

The first one has a nice and cosy atmosphere and in my bumfuck opinion, portrays the human futility of war in a touching and bittersweet way.
The ending and character arcs still fuck me up.
Oh it's also an excellent turn-based tactics / strategy game.

The flattie alone makes 2 slightly more worth playing though

I honestly thought they would pull some bullshit like that at the end, now I'm sad they didn't

A literal clone would have been better

At this point they might as well soft reboot.

Japanese shadman is at his best when they are fully clothed

Military uniforms are just hot as fuck, way hotter than actual nudity

If you read the artbooks you can tell the dev team was holding him back until 3 came around.

hold him back again

actually make him go back to doing x-ray doujins

if you're a gamer, sure

Despite it finding an audience SEGA decided ro abandon that audience and push the series on the PSvita. The sequels were also not liked by fans and that ruined the reputation of the series. When 4 came out it had lost a lot of its fanbase, despite being well received. At least that is the situation as I understand it.

4 was my first vc game. Im really glad they did that demo or else i wouldnt have picked it up. Looks clean as fuck on xbox one x also. So i went and backtracked the series. Long story short, 4 is just about equal to 3. 4 has the best maps and story but 3 is almost at the same level. 1 and 2 are shitty for different reasons. 4 = 3 > 1 > 2

Yeah, I bought it when it was 40.

>vita
It was the psp and contrary to Yea Forums terrible memory the first game sold like shit to begin with.

VC1 had potential
in VC2 and 3, Everyone saw its ceiling (same game mechanics, stupid story, shallow characters, etc)
and then Valkyria Revolution happened
You know what I mean, Even if VC4 was masterpiece, they would get the same results

I'm talking about the case in Japan. dunno what gaijins thinking

Or Aliens... or at least ditch the stupidly stimple mission completion objectives that shamelessly encourages scout rushing. I mean, 4 had the enemy scout rush back at you but still.

Or aliens.

Did they have to incorporate a highschool setting into fucking everything?
The person that decided that was the correct direction needs to be fired.

Just make a dancing game

It was a military acedemy only in the 2nd game

4 was almost a 1:1 repeat of the first game.
