About Me
I'm a 26 year old gamer living in Texas. I'm a huge RPG nerd with somewhat of a penchant for good FPSs (BF3). I'm also a huge media junkie, though no reality TV. Graduated from college in 2007 and found a job. The extra income is great, but sadly it comes at the expense of having a lot less time to play games/watch TV. I own a 360, PS3, PS2 and Gamecube.

I'm currently playing:

Dragon Age 2
Battlefield 3(Occasionally)
Dark Souls
Uncharted 3

Need time to finish:
Persona 3
Odin Sphere
FFIV DS
Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria

Really want to start:
Persona 4
Chrono Trigger DS
Star Ocean: Last Hope

TV Shows currently watching:
Chuck
House
Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother
Castle
Modern Family
Fringe
Supernatural
The Office
30 Rock
Burn Notice
Weeds
Entourage
Californication
Mad Men
Spartacus
Young Justice
Star Wars The Clone Wars
Bones
Episodes
Game of Thrones

Valkyria Chronnicles Pondering (And other stuff)
seltzermx | 10:56 PM on 05.06.2009 10 comments


I currently do not have a PS3, but I plan to get one in the near future (probably for Christmas). Because of this, I am faced with a dilemna. Chad and a lot of people on Destructoid are raving about Valkyria Chronnicles the game. However, I just started watching the anime and I find it highly entertaining. So now I am faced with a moral dilemna: do I wait to get my PS3 and play the game to bask in its awesomeness, or watch the anime and have the story ruined for me once I play the game? (This might be a question for Japanator, but since they have no C-blogs, I'm out of luck)

P.S: Watch Eden of the East.

P.P.S: Who else saw Lost tonight and thought it was awesome?

Buy the game and go play it on a friends PS3. That way you save yourself $600.

game , most of my interest in playing is to see what happens next( and the combat) but wanting to know what happens next is where alot of the motivation comes from. if you really have the intention of enjoying this game down the line avoid all spoiler's.

I'd hold off, or just wait till Dell does another 20% off coupon and pick up the PS3 for $300. It's a fantastic console and isn't going to get cheaper than that for a while unless there's some crazy deal on Black Friday or something.

Play the game first, and watch the animu after. You can also read the mango if it ever comes out in English or gets fanslated (yes, there is a mango).

I've seen the animu and read the mango, and I have to say watching either first will simply rob you of the impact the game had on me and the people who played it unspoiled.

Buy the game before it gets rare, even if you don't have a system to play it with. Trust me. I know things.

@Garison: Sadly few of my friends are gamers, and the ones that are don't have a PS3. Plus they'd have to be really good friends to let me play a JRPG. :)

And alright, you guys have convinced me to wait until I get a PS3. Dang it, and I just saw the episode where they introduced Maximilian and recognized him as Lelouch from Code Geass.

@Unangbangkay: Yeah I'll prob wait for the price to drop another $10, then pick it up in case it starts to go scarce. Thats what saved me when Okami came out for PS2.

"...but I plan to get one in the near future (probably for Christmas)."

Near future? You know it's May right?


But you said it yourself, it would ruin your game probably. Just wait a little bit longer and embrace the awesomeness of the game unspoiled.

@Takeshi: haha, I know its May, I just tend to think very long-term. Anything 2009 is near future, and 2010 is only a year away (so almost here in my mind). 2011 is when the plans start to get hazy, at least for now. :)

@Qraze: yeah there's stuff I want to play on the PS3, but damn it, my backlog just keeps growing. Have to finish fallout 3, play star ocean 4, tales of vesperia, finish persona 3 and 4, finish valkyrie profile and odin sphere, and at some point start okami.

I think I just realized what I need to do: I need to win the lottery. That is my new career/life goal.

Totally the game, then the anime, im watching it too, and though it has it subtle differences its pretty much the same story and visuals are WAY better than the anime.

Watching Eden of the East and its sheer WIN, also watching second season of full metal alchemist.
