I preloaded the game a week ago and now I've been sitting here for almost ten minutes and it hasn't finished the last stupid 300 MB.

Did anyone else run into issues while downloading?

Here. The last bit is taking forever to DL, and even if it isn't actually going, IT'S EATING MY HARD DRIVE SPACE. Now, that last 300MB has eaten 7 extra gigs of space.

Anyone can help? The game is not recognizing my graphics card, and uses the in-built one.

Can't you disable it in BIOS?

I'm guessing that's something like nvidia's optimus right? If so you can probably use the drivers control panel to force the game executable to run on the dedicated card instead of the built-in one.

Thanks! Did this and the game "recognise" the card.

Liking the game, they did a good job on this port.
The cutscene thing isn't that bad unless your really anal about that type of thing which I tend to be actually but not in this case.
Liking it too much to really care about some rough edges.

If I had one problem is subtitles are just off, while my japanese is nothing more than remembering what I hear from anime they just don't match for the most part which is off putting.

For the love of me I can't recall if that was case on the PS3 or not or if I cared enough to noticed back then(has actually been a while since I last played)

Problem with going back to this series for me is I've always been a fan of the never-a-float WelkinXSelvaria ship and it irks me that theres nothing of it.
I got nothing against Alicia, love her infact but I just always liked Welaria more...

[Last Sinner]

Scouts and Shocktroopers so OP. Between Alicia, Rosie and Jane, they tear up an enemy unit so quick.

Oh yes, this idea. Might be time to revisit that old thread and see what could be mined therefrom. You know, the same thread that brought us such strange ideas as Marina (IIRC) using that special sniper rifle from RA2: Yuri's Revenge; Selvaria facing off against the Soviet supersoldier Volkov; and poor Welkin discovering that he's gone and picked up his very own yanderekko... who happens to be a very powerful psionic.

[yezhanquan]

Ah yes, the fanfiction thread.

@Bonta-kun: I believe the same script was used in the PS 3 version, so this issue was not PC-only.

I believe the subtitles are off to the Japanese voices yes. It probably has something to do with them being done to the English dub instead of the original voices and the excessive localisation of said dub. Sometimes it's just ridiculous like a sigh turning into a "really" or some other word.

[Wild Goose]

This is a great port and it runs like lightning.

I cant stop smiling.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Sega is pleased with sales of this port. (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=931516)

You know what that means?

Yup, you'll never get something like this again

So true... Sad but true...

[FlareKnight]

Good to hear the sales are going well. Definitely one memorable game and be nice if a lot of new people checked it out .

So... anyone know a good way to grind exp without base rush scumming?

And I'm getting slaughtered by Max and Selv in the chapter 7 mission.

Spoiler for tactics:

The fight with the Batomy is very scripted, so it is a bit RNG in the sense that if you have Selvaria stationed near the Batomy when you need to destroy the third radiator, you could be in a world of hurt.

Basically, you have to "feed" some fellows to Selvaria once she shows up (always after blasting the second radiator). Also, try to face her away from the direction where you'll be sending the fellow to toss in the third grenade. You should have the full 20 CP to complete the destruction of the Batomy. It takes 9 shots from the Edelweiss to bust the Batomy after the radiators are destroyed.

Exp grinding should be done later, after the Barious skirmish map shows up. Good exp there and it's not hard to pull off an A grade on the map.

[MrTerrorist]

Since the game is now on the PC, will there be mods?

[Wild Goose]

Probably not, unless people get really creative with the coding. *shrug*

Also my VC2 habits are killing me, lol. You know how in VC2 and VC3 you can deploy units at will? Yeah, that's not happening here lol. If you pick the wrong team setup, you're screwed. Or at least that's how it looks to me, so far.

Also dear god Scout Rush is so freaking OP, hahaha.

[yezhanquan]

Now, the hope is that VC 2 or 3 gets remade and then released for PC.

I'd rather they skip 2 and go straight to 3, with the gritty war theme.

Also, every time I do a scout rush, I keep thinking of this scene from Band of Brothers:
