I also bought Netrunner having never played it before and now know that was definitely a terrible idea.

If I had to guess, it is probably that nerds ruined it. It is a good game but THE COMPETITIVE SCENE and everyone just netdecks anyway. Also there are a shitload of cards and its hard to get into the game nowadays and good luck finding someone else to play it casually if you don't have a group already

although i've heard the meta is the best it's ever been now

That's why you just play it with your regular gaming buddies and don't go to tourneys or events.

Conceptually it's cool and good, which is why I finally caved to the hype and bought it against the warnings of everyone who said that it's prone to topdecking and bad draws and is badly paced, which it is unfortunately all of those things in my experience with it so far.

Bluffing and traps and asymmetry are cool, but they're necessarily tied to the game's luck element, and the game's luck centers around bad deck mechanics, ITHPO.

honestly the problem with netrunner is that they refuse to use normal people terms for things like "deck" and "hand" and "draw" so they invent these bullshit terms

I heard that that was because they didnt want to use the same term for the Runner and Corp doodads, but thats probably just an excuse

e: It would probably be better if the terms they used werent both shameful and confusing

i like it, it is a bit random but has mechanisms to reduce randomness but you can still get screwed at times, skill is still important though and it has elements of list-building

i have a hard time determining if the way that wings of war handled damage is better or not though

i bought in because im a manchild that wanted to revert back to his childhood, though

I don't like it when games have the attacker roll attack dice and then the defender rolls defense dice.
