My wife hates this game.
Battlehub is my life now.

I love you Monster Hunter!

Playing charades was full of surprises.

I drew a 3D baseball bat, and to my surprise someone plucked this bat I just drew and started swinging it around.

So I proceeded to draw a ball and threw it at him. He smashed the ball with the bat I made.

I... wow... welcome to VR!

The first time I rolled the ball around my bat -- I was shocked. "IT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE I'M DOING IT IN REAL LIFE."

The haptic feedback is amazing in this game.

Regarding the game itself, it does feel incredibly realistic. I have played table tennis irl in the past and I would say this game is somewhere in between realistic and 'gamey'. It is a lot easier to play table tennis in this game than it would be in real life, but that's to be expected. I tried doing some of the spin shots I usually do in real life - I found it hard to execute these shots in the game, but basic spins are easy enough to pull off.

If you love table tennis, you will love this game!

It's a decent game, but lacked so many features that I expected to be in the game. Can't say I'm not a bit disappointed. :/

EDIT: WHO ELSE IS EXCITED FOR THE NEXT UPDATE?

+respect to Hello Games for their fantastic post-launch support. :)

This game is amazingly fun! I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AT WORK!! JUST LET ME PLAY! :D

I love this game, but I can't recommend it because of the optimisation issues. I honestly can't understand why this game is performing this badly even with my mid-range specs.

Specs: I5 4440, 8gb Ram and GTX 760.

For the record I'm getting a maximum of 20FPS in field areas and around 25-30 in battles.

Great game. I just wish this game had true 1080p and decent FPS...

Edit: updated to the latest NVIDIA update and the game seems to run a bit smoother, mostly hovering around the 30FPS mark. Will post further updates once the patches start rolling in.

Valkyria Chronicles has a lot of heart. It's one of the few games on the PS3 where I felt heavily invested in the characters - they're all so charming and wonderful.

Pros:
+Great characters and story
+Fantastic music
+Beautiful canvas art style
+PC performance is great! Loading and save times are noticebly quicker than the PS3 version
+It's an SRPG, but not a conventional one. The limited free-roaming is a breath of free air compared to other grid-like SRPGS.
+Dual audio. Both the Japanese and English dub are great!
+Marina

Honestly... I still can't believe this game made it to PC. PLAY IT!
