RainyDayJizz#35 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hey man, everyone has their thing. Those games are so old now I can't imagine getting into it now. Yugioh was fucking crazy. I thought I was okay until I played during the daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, the hitch for me is the combos got so crazy that strategies I thought were solid were held down and kicked in the nuts repeatedly by cards and special abilities I had no knowledge of. I just dicked around with the phone game for a bit and realized I didn't want to get that in depth. I just wanted to have a game of checkers, not four different board games that all have an instruction book and not a card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Quest for the stars is my shit. It's perfectly tailored for mobile play and it's just as hilarious as the series if you've played it. And if you haven't and you like RPGs give it a shot because I forgot how awesome dragon quest is. As a phone game I cannot praise it enough, it's perfect for people that just love RPGs and would like a casual one to play on their phone. It has the job system from DQ7 so I'm just hanging out and maxing jobs before I move on to the next. The story is so drawn out and simple I could probably play it for years.

Yugioh was fucking crazy. I thought I was okay until I played during the daytime. Game got too complicated and less fun as it progressed. Syncro took some time to learn, it's kinda broken because all decks pretty much demand you use the same cards and just leads to too many clone decks. Pendulem just made the game not fun. The idea was lets make the game shorter by having less turns. Except it made the game longer because humans aren't computers and I've wanted to kill myself when someone is taking minutes to end a turn. Also the game now is set to first draw so much that if your opponent doesn't have a perfect draw they forfeit. Just no point in playing because if you can't get 5 monsters on the field in your first turn you aren't going to win. It was just bad how much time people need for turns. I set a timer limit to 3mins and couldn't get anyone to join a lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I was also getting out of physical card games at the time as well. There were maybe 2-3 people my age that did card games. The rest of the people at the shop playing were like 8. Just felt too awkward being around a bunch of kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreHunter Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Would probably just teach them to play like mill deck scum. Cheapest deck to build and never fun to play against. I more used it against friends so I could actually learn how to play the game from watching their moves, because they didn't pull punches in magic, even when I was like hey guys I want to get into this game are you able to not use your $300 decks against my $25 deck. Just curb stomp learned nothing. So stall/mill decks were the only chance I had to actually try and learn the game. Now if I were to get into it I'd have at least had the option to pick it up by playing the video games. So mostly just stuck to Yugioh until it got bad. Actually got back into pokemon tcg for a year a couple of years ago via the online game. Did pretty good, but realized I was spending too much time on it so took a break which turned into just not picking it up again in years. At this point any of the cards I have in that account would be out of rotation. Could play unlimited, but it's broken as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
