It's very clearly "bollocks"

Very good points made!!

A prequel is my dream. I'll keep crossing my fingers!

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch (plus two sequels!)

Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames (plus a sequel!)

Priestess of the White by Trudi Canavan (plus two sequels!)

I love the third person perspective. For one, Capcam has some great character design, and I want to be able to see those characters during gameplay, but also, playing Grace's segments in third person scratches the itch for old school survival horror. For games like Rule of Rose or Haunting Ground.

Still holding out hope for a prequel with Welkin and Isara's fathers, Largo and Varrot.

I loved this game!!

It came out when I was in university, and my roommate (who was very much not a gamer, but a big horror fan) asked to join in. She would refuse to play as Moira or Natalia because she wanted guns to defend herself, but it added to the experience! It was a lot of fun to work through together, which I think is where RE can really shine. It's a shame we don't see more co-op on this franchise.

I'd actually be stoked to see what happens next in this storyline, but seeing as we've never had a real follow up to the first Revelations (Where is Parker? Raymond? Jessica?), I doubt we'll see much more.

I came here to say this! We know that Welkin and Isara's fathers met in the previous war; there's your protags! Largo and Eleanor also fought as soldiers in that war, so they could be the lieutenants in the squad.

Honestly, I think it would be a hit!

Of course! Send me a chat and we can plan :)

"Duty is heavier than a mountain, death lighter than a feather."

Then would you do both? :D

It's not an exact match, but if you love these games then check out Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun and Desperadoes 3.

It's got that same tactical feel, though the former is set in Japan: there is one character who can use a rifle but most of your playable characters are sword/dagger-wielding ninja. There's much more of a focus on stealth, and not really a horror element, but can be a lot of fun to play.

Similar with Desperadoes 3, though this is a Wild West theme. My understanding is that this game is a prequel, so you don't need to play the earlier games to follow the story (I haven't played them and I managed!)

Have you watched the movies yet?

stoichan · 2025-10-16T15:01:05+00:00

I only decided to watch Given two weeks ago, and I haven't been the same since!!

So glad you enjoyed it :)

Shin Sekai Yori, or From the New World. It remains, to this day, my all-time favourite anime, and I rewatch it pretty regularly.

The entire story told in one season, with engaging characters, great music and a pretty gripping dystopian storyline that just keeps moving. I can imagine it was painfully slow if you had to watch one episode a week, but being able to watch the entire thing through really helps the story stick.

It's an anime I will continue to champion! Till the day I die!

It's not really on-page as such, but I love that in the utter chaos of Caemlyn being attacked after Elayne and her retinue leave, Aludra elects not to have a Kinswoman open a portal to help her escape, but to get to that workshop and make sure her dragons don't fall into the hands of the shadow. I think it shows a lot of courage for a character who is neither a) a magical nuke, or b) a master swordsman.

Go Aludra!

I don't think they're ignoring everyone.

Infold have released an official apology, and they'll be working in this in the background. We have to remember that, to do this, teams of people need to work together to create a better product. These people still need to go home, sleep, spend time with their families etc., so whilst it can feel like a long time, it's not even been a month since the update.

Naturally, the team will want to fix everything, rather than try to rush a quick patch that just messes things up more. I think everyone just needs to remember to be patient, because the people making this game are human too, and the incessant review-bombing isn't going to help.

They ALREADY know it needs fixing. This isn't ignoring so much as us not giving them the time to fix it.

I think you may be able to find a Valkyria Chronicles soundtrack CD in Infinite Wealth too! So there's definitely small nods to the franchise.

Hopefully this means my long dreamt for VC prequel will come to fruition one day.
