magic: the gathering is legitimately fun, but it's a game that allows for pretty brutal decks and crazy turn arounds and other fun/and/or friendship destroying things the online games like hearthstone and eternal that won't let you properly chat with your opponent and go out of their way to balance their games around avoiding hurt feelings suck rear end and remove all the good stuff about card games like being able to look someone in the eye while you gently caress their poo poo up

One of my irl dota friends has his own mate called Grant, i've met him once or twice, he's the sort of guy that has one of every warhammer paint, anyway my buddy told me that Grant had some rare expensive magic card that could essentially summon an infinite amount of flying unkillable angels that couldn't be stopped unless you had this similarly rare, expensive, counter-card which caused the angels to kamikaze dive-bomb their own troops, i'm paraphrasing but that was the gist sounded cool but also convinced me never to play Magic at the same time

Most of the cool cards are banned for a reason. When I knew some mtg nerds, one of them built a deck for me to use around a card called contamination that made all players mana tap for only black. You could play it turn 2 if you were lucky, and so, so many color and gimmick decks were just instantly hosed.

This is actually pretty cool because it uses actual branded parts and it can teach you how to put together a real computer without the risk and investment.

Pokémon TCG was fun and the GB color game that let you play it was also quite fun. It had the added bonus of being able to introduce cards that relied on RNG that you couldn’t really simulate in a physical TCG Also the soundtrack loving slapped https://youtu.be/qxfY3Gzukl8

WarioWare Gold has a CCG minigame of sorts?

We really don't get enough in the way of edutainment software these days. Mostly it's a side effect of people simulating their hobbies in obsessive detail.

"flipping coins" is not some crazy digital-only thing that we have no solution for in meatspace There were unique cards with attacks that said something like “attacks one of your opponent’s benched Pokémon at random” in the game boy game that weren’t in the regular TCG. It’d be pretty tough to translate that to physical media without some sort of dice rolling mechanic which the Pokémon TCG definitely didn’t employ Also I posit that YOU are extremely fuckin’ bad by basically any metric at all

I don't get why people romanticize Saints Row. That's not to say I hate it. 3 was a fun game even if it wasn't really anything special, and 2 seemed alright even if I couldn't get into it because it felt super dated and lovely to play by the time I got around to it. Sr4 was a lazy pile of poo poo. But it's thematically insanely generic and the "humor" is dumber than gently caress. The open world is also pretty bland. The main thing it has going for it is tons of customization and pretty sericable, arcadey shooting and driving but it's a super unremarkable series.

saints row 2 actually has an extremely good and detailed open world. but you missed it because it was too dated, and i missed it because i tried to play it on windows 7 that said i symphatize with your plight of games looking too dated. i always piss off tons of people when i say deus ex looks too dated for me to take seriously

I played it long enough to get a taste for it. But I also played it after 3, and man the controls and gameplay just sucked in 2012 or whenever I played it. I couldn't finish it.

I think it was probably a very well timed game for 2011 and everyone loved how it didn't take itself seriously saints row 4 I didn't play either, think it was forced to market because the developers were running out of cash and needed something big, and saints row was their biggest IP so they bundled up the world they already had and made a quick tie-in saints row 2 was a pretty great game at the time, so I think you just missed out on it when it was new and would have made you excited about the other ones

That's fair enough. I agree Sr3 was probably well timed. it's probably not fair to judge how good 2 actually was when games had advanced significantly by the time I played it.

I think people only romanticize 2 and 3. 1 was a boring gta clone IIRC. 2 and 3 were the good ones that carved out a nice saints row niche in open world games. 4 seemed cheap, but you got to be a superhero so I'm sure theres people who still like it because you can just go and fly through the air and beat up bad guys like iron man, or whatever you do in it

I think you should play either 3 or 4, but playing them both will make you think less of them. 4 is fun as hell though, it's bullshit crazy idea the video game as well as being an entirely competent ubilike.

4 is such a dumb game, it felt dumb to play. It felt like a lovely mod where someone added superpowers, none of the abilities actually felt developed with any real decent feedback

Yeah I see a lot of love for 4 but I thought it was pretty bad. Probably the funnest part of 3 was the car and character customization, both of those things were irrelevant in 4 because you could barely see your character since they just glow all the time, and cars were pointless. It was just the map from SR3 so it wasn't designed around the superpowers and they all felt sloppy as hell because of that. I also hated the permanent neon night style. I know it was just a DLC, expanded and released as a standalone game, but I thought it was ridiculous to sell it as a full price sequel. Should have released it for like $25 and called it Saints Row: Heroes or something.

Also I'm pretty sure that they only force you to do reach mission type once and then just make them side stuff. As opposed to GTA where you'll do forty "follow the car" missions in the first five hours.

It was just the map from SR3 so it wasn't designed around the superpowers and they all felt sloppy as hell because of that. I also hated the permanent neon night style. I've played the first few hours of 3 several times and it feels bland and laboured compared to the ideas in the equivalent part of 4 - you're in a COD parody! you're disarming a nuclear missile in flight! you're the president! ALEINS ATTACK! holy poo poo the worlds exploding! you're in a 50s sitcom parody! you're in a matrix parody, butt-naked! you're destroying everything with a giant robot!! you're flying a spaceship while 80s power pop plays! Then the game starts and it's just solid fun imo, I actually got right into upgrading the cars so you can totally do it if you want to, it's just you can leap tall buildings and run faster than a train as well. If I'd squeezed sr3 dry first I would probably feel different, but I didn't so I loved 4. e: plus it has the best romance scenes in any video game ever sebmojo fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Dec 11, 2018 |
