So I've been playing Valkyria Chronicles lately, and look what happened. Enourmous lance and shield annoy the hell out of me so I kicked them to the curb. Slim rapier is much better.
Agreed, rapier is much better. I really liked the semi-realistic war feel they had going, so when they started with the strippers taking out armored columns crap, it was a real disappointment.
Indeed. Not to mention the final super-weapon beamspamming everything and teenage drama out of nowhere when Alicia went Valkyrie. The gameplay was still great, but fantasy stuff ruined the semi-realistic atmosphere of the earlier missions.
