What does /vr/ think of this gem? Also a Yu-Gi-Oh thread, I guess

Despite owning both franchise. I'm seriously surprised that YGO never got a Jikkyou pro like story mode. Even fucking Gundam games had their own OCs fighting a tournament or some shit.

>>11802438
There are multiple yugioh games about the characters fighting in tournaments. Unless you mean something different

>>11802430 (OP)
simple and fun, as card games should be.
even if it gets bullshit at the end, you can bullshit back at it spamming equips and raigeki.

After the first time a card drop mod is necessary to not make it an autistic fucking grind. Also I always was sad that duelist of the roses never had anywhere near the romhacking scene this did, although the romhacking scene for FM is bizarrely spread across a bunch of Brazilian and Vietnamese blogspots and shit like that, really decentralized compared to something like Super Metroid.

>>11802430 (OP)
this game is fucking trash but i fucking love it

>>11802651
I love how 3rd world shitholes create content to ancient, almost dead games. Same happens in regard to Gothic 2 in Poland.

>>11802430 (OP)
boring as shit
the grind fest iirc only exists in the usa and eu versions, the game wasn't supposed to be so grindy in japan.
I don't really know why anyone likes it, playing through it is a chore.

>>11802430 (OP)
Once you learn how the computer cheats by getting the card it needs to beat you, It's pretty boring
>inb4 source: my ass
no, you can watch the jewtube videos about it

>>11802810
i think it's common knowledge at this point the game cheats for those who care, don't worry.

>>11802742
Nostalgia the first time back and then card drop romhacks afterwards. Or just autism and or you’re a streamer who speedruns the original version.

>>11802430 (OP)
Nostalgic but also dogshit for the absurd grind it takes to get through the latter half of the game. Even if you factor in the pocketstation in the JP version, its still shitty that an addon was basically a requirement to finish the game.

I've still never gotten past the mages. Every now and then I'll turn the thing on, grind Pegasus for a couple hours, get a few S-Tecs and get zero bright castles or anything else useful cause even with S-Tec its like a fucking 3% drop, and then leave the game for another year or two.

>>11802430 (OP)
hold up, CARDS!?!?
I'd rather have sex with my ugly fucking wife than play this fucking piece of shit!!!

>>11802430 (OP)
The way the AI blatantly cheats is hilarious.

>>11802430 (OP)
as a kid, it taught me a valuable lesson that even garbage can be addicting somehow, and to learn the signs so i can kick that shit to the curb.

>>11802430 (OP)
>amazing ost
>amazing graphics and atmosphere
>bs battle system
still fun though and worth checking out.
interesting semi exploration too.

>>11802430 (OP)
crazy how they made a 3d model for every monster. i don't think most players ever use the 3d battle thing

>>11802430 (OP)
I have the sound effects from it set as the sounds on my steam deck. Also started running one the the promo cards (metalmorph) in goat format and the promo prismatic secret looks very nice.

>>11804821
Yeah, that is impressive, but only the non-counterparts have amazing and super-detailed models. Counterparts like Gruesome Goo and The Thing That Hides in the Mud look like dogshit.

How good are the PS2 Yu-Gi-Oh! games? I seem to remember one of them having 3D models of all the monsters, just like Forbidden Memories.

>>11805005
What's so bad about a syringe that they felt like needing to censor it with that weird pen thing?
Especially for a monster called INJECTION Fairy?

Currently playing GX Duel Academy on GBA.
JFC the opponents in this game cheat pretty blatantly.
No sir, I don't believe Jaden just happened to have two Mirror Forces and a card to get two level 6 monsters for free.

Also the Fire deck SUCKS ASS, possibly the worst deck I've had the displeasure to play in a yugi game but the Wind deck is actually able to win when the computer feels like it. Still, begginer opponents already having Tier S staples on their decks is insane, I want some Mirror Force too.

>>11805235
Duelists of the Roses and Capsule Monster Coliseum have 3D models of everything. Both games are good.

>>11802430 (OP)
It's kusoge, but I have nostalgia for it.

>bought it for the cards it came with
>never played it

>>11805005
>I have the sound effects from it set as the sounds on my steam deck.
What the fuck does this mean

>>11802430 (OP)
I'm still baffled that people bloody Speedrun this game...

>>11802430 (OP)
It plays in a simple manner, close to how the early manga and anime did things, the fusion mechanic is awesome when you get that it's all about types instead of specific cards, the OST and overall atmosphere are incredible... it's not too fun if you don't already enjoy the IP, due to the simplicity, grinding and difficulty spikes, but for fans of the IP? It's still fun to go back to...

>>11805810
konami says "thanks for your patronage".

>>11802430 (OP)
The first playable Yugioh console game was WC2006. So, I personally think FM shit.

>>11802438
I'm not sure what that "Jikkyou pro"-like means, but there's several different ways YGO games went over stories:
>Ultimate Masters 2006 and 2007
You're fighting through predetermined enemies, each with a unique deck. Each time you beat enemies in a specific "tier", you unlock the next one. It feels tournament-like without being an actual tournament.
>World Championship 2008
You're progressing through multiple worlds, dueling "spirits" and going through a story of sorts. As you progress through the world, you unlock opponents in the free duel mode and you can start tournaments.
>Tag Force series, Legacy of the Duelist, WC 2009-2011
You're progressing through an anime-parallel story or an actual anime story.

>>11806612
I assume he changed his system sounds (on Steam Deck) into whatever sound effects the game uses. For example, for a low battery notification he might get the sound effect of being attacked directly or something.

WC2005's no banlist area seems a bit broken to me.

>>11802430 (OP)
played it all the time with my brother and his friend when we were kids. remember it being a lot better than it actually was. remember getting to a point where the ai just seemed like bullshit and we gave up but still played it a ton anyway. from time to time now i take out my blue-eye and red-eyes decks for nostalgia and ill watch some youtubers play but that's about it

I had no memory card as a kid because I got a PS1 at a yard sale and was poor. Was never able to make it that far because of that. I remember being excited I finally saved up birthday and Christmas money to buy the game and then finding out the promos weren't in some copies of it.

The music in this game was fucking nuts

>big number betterer: the game
was bored of this shit even as a child.

>>11811208
It's all about *how* you get that bigger number, through equip cards, field spells and/or fusions. It's still simple and boils down to bigger numbers, but I find the simplicity charming, and everything around it, the art, 3D models, aesthetic, OST and atmosphere, are all so good that it makes the overall experience still fun to go through.

>>11802651
Duelist of the Roses was amazing and Falsebound Kingdom is still one of my favorite RPG’s.

>>11802430 (OP)
It's good, but DotR was such a big improvement it's not really worth coming back to this.

>>11811018
>Spider-Man 2000
BASED. I loved this one.

>>11802430 (OP)
I'm not sure how the game was meant to be completed. the good cards come from the meadow mage and pegasus but theres no way anyone would figure that out with looking it up

>>11802430 (OP)
It was kusoge, played it again and had to make a resemara to get the cards needed for thunder dragon.
Otherwise you can't win.

I miss the old Yugioh cards, it used to have a lot of cool and fearsome monsters, nowadays it's all cute anime girls.

>>11818881
In most cases old art was much better because it was simpler. So everything was clear even in video games where images are low res.
New card art has so much detail that it all becomes a clusterfuck of colors where you can't even tell what's happening while looking at the card IRL. Might as well remove the card images entirely and just make the whole card a text/effect box.

>>11818881
The reason Yu-Gi-Oh is mostly cute anime girls nowadays is that people who like cute anime girls actually buy the cards.
If the people who-like-cool-monsters-like-back-in-the-old-days bought cards like Dragonmaid players buy cards, Konami would meet your demands in no time flat.

Also I just put in another order for $13 of nothing but Dragonmaids, Channelers, Harpies, and Traptrix, so I'm part of your problem 草

>>11802430 (OP)
I liked it as a kid. trying to play it now I have no fucking clue where to even start and theres like no in game tutorials either. no clue how I managed to get through it. am I supposed to just memorize fusion tables online like an autist?

>>11820429
The fusions aren't hard to memorize, they're pretty simple and generic outside of fusions from the anime/manga
female + rock = Mystical Sand
elf + warrior = Celtic Guardian
dragon + machine = Metal Dragon
dragon + zombie = Dragon Zombie
beast + plant = Flower Wolf
(under 1000 ATK) plant + zombie = Wood Remains
(over 1000 ATK) plant + zombie = Pumpking The King of Ghosts
(under 1000 ATK) thunder + dragon = Thunder Dragon
(over 1000 ATK) thunder + dragon = Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon

>>11802430 (OP)
How the fuck did everyone figure this game out? I played ygo, I played at shopping center tournaments>card shops>regionals>nationals and even still going back to this game I have no fucking idea whats going on

Is everyone some master tactician tarot card star sign guy or is it way more straight forward than I imagined? I see people busting out DMOC but combining two shit tier cards with 200atk

>>11820371
I quit ygo around the time ill blud/crystal beasts came out but still go back from time to time to look at sets/decks for name inspiration for mmo's

Its insane how god awful everyones names are compared to Magic, nobody has names, its just the thing they are

>>11820469
>female

>>11821263
Yes?

>>11811732
Duelist of the roses is amazing. I wish yugioh had more unique games like that instead of 100 outdated card game ports with bad AI.

>>11820747
the internet
you basically just try to make twin headed thunder dragon over and over

>>11810463
The AI literally is bullshit lmao. The bosses at end gmae rush can see your face down cads and your hand, as well has having 20 cards in their hand at all times, but funnily enough the hardest is seto 3rd because odds are he's definitely gonna have a 3 headed blue eyes and you're fucked if you don't hav meteor B skull + 3 attack boosts for it.

>>11802430 (OP)
I knew a poor kid who played this for thousands of hours to collect star chips and because he had nothing else.

Always made me kek.

>>11802430 (OP)
It's garbage, but it was cool as fuck that they animated 700 monsters. I always appreciate such effort.

>>11822501
If you want a better take on Yu-Gi-Oh! where monsters all have models, and where you actually see them more often without having to watch the same battle animation all of the time, check out the sequel, Duelist of the Roses.

>>11822990
>Duelist of the Roses.
Looks complicated. Do I have to learn new rules specific only to this game to play it?

>>11823015
Yes, it has its own set of rules, but not too complicated, just go through the tutorial and you'll be able to grasp everything you need to play, it intimidated me at first too, but in just a couple of hours I was playing as if I had grown up playing it, feels good.
