Hey guys,

I have an opportunity to get Valkyria Chronicles, and seeing as its getting rare, its a pretty good opportunity, but with Infamous and Pokemon Platinum coming out, and being a student, I'm super strapped for cash. I worked it out, and I can afford all 3 if I dont buy food for the next week or so. All i have is a couple bags of pasta and some frozen chicken, do you think its worth bumming it to pick up the game?

Thanks,

HvK

Well no...The game is great but you need to eat man. What you need to do is look at how much food you have and see if it can last you till you get payed again. Another thing, when you get more food budget in some Oodles and Noodles, they are dirt cheap and fill you up.

Oh, I have plenty of food, pasta, chicken, noodles, typical student food. Maybe you should send Martha around to whip me up some stuff :P

This might be expected coming from a guy who weighs over 300 pounds, but no game is worth not eating, man. Well.... Maybe there are a few. Pasta and chicken sounds good...... *gets up and heads to fridge*

Well, to be honest, my reason of getting it, is get it now while its cheap, because it will cost a lot in a few months, and I mightnt ever get to play it... It does look awesome though...

I don't know how many I've skipped either, but I know it wasn't many. Mostly because I can't take my PS3 and HDTV to McDonalds. :)

Yeah the demo is trash. They should remove that from the PSN. It in no way reflects the great many things that give VC its charm. A little shallow @ss skirmish isn't going to sell a game! They should have offered up a bit on the story and characters. That's what makes the rest of VC so incredible. And once you get used to the battles You will realize that VC offers some of the most fun, addictive, and innovative gameplay in RPG history!

Probably not, it's a good game but not good enough to starve yourself for.

I'd say get it, and hold off on one of the other two. I haven't played the US Valkyria Chronicles, but I have the Japanese Senjou no Valkyria, and unless it changed alot in translation, its one of the best games on the PS3.

Man, it's a game. You shouldn't starve over a game. However, in your case, if not eating the "best" food meant saving money for you, and you still have enough to fill you up, then go for it.

I have an opportunity to get Valkyria Chronicles, and seeing as its getting rare, its a pretty good opportunity, but with Infamous and Pokemon Platinum coming out, and being a student, I'm super strapped for cash. I worked it out, and I can afford all 3 if I dont buy food for the next week or so. All i have is a couple bags of pasta and some frozen chicken, do you think its worth bumming it to pick up the game?

Thanks,

You shouldn't be playing games at all. People like you are apart of the problem and give the rest of us gamers a bad name and image. Don't be an idiot and buy your damn food. Video games don't disappear.

Nice inventory. I got... some frozen meat... but it's from cosco!!!

It's a great game but I'd wait for a fatter check honestly. And being a student you should be spending cash on partying. :D

Buy the game. Eating cheap for a week will not hurt you. I have had to do it for years so doing so until your next pay check will not hurt. Survival Skill...Use them so you can play VC.

imo, it really depends on how patient you are with SRPGs This was my first SRPG since FF Tactics, and I found it mindblowingly frustrating to play.

Havok, you know me. You know there's two things I love in life: good food (especially cheese) and Valkyria Chronicles. As much as I love VC, you gotta eat the good stuff, dude. Don't miss out on some good grub. Of course if you have the willpower to eat student food for the next week go for it. VC is the absolute bomb, but I'd bathe in blue cheese and/or gruyere anyday before I played VC.

Just buy VC, you won't even taste the food while you are playing anyways. Plus eating that stuff is better for you than eating out anyways.

Not like he is going to starve himself to death. The OP already made it clear that he has the essential "student food".

I would say go ahead and buy the game man! They aren't going to make anymore of them so its only going to become more difficult to find and the price will probably eventually go up!
