This game is a pile of trash.

Why do autists love it so much? Everything about it is infuriating.

For me, it's Reshef of Destruction

>>11839921 (OP)
So do you just have to figure out and remember the fusions or what?

>>11839921 (OP)
you got filtered, schmootz

>>11839980
That's one of the annoying parts, yes.

But it's also fucking incomplete. Like 10% of the cards require 99999999 starchips or some crap like that to purchase. You get like 7 per battle if I remember correctly. Literally incomplete game.

For me Nightmare Troubadour

>>11839921 (OP)
classic dunning kreuger effect, you're confidently projecting your incompetence as a failure of game design. many such cases, sadly. typical first-peak.

>>11840464
>>11840464
That's not what dunning kruger is you complete fucking retard

>>11839921 (OP)
The infuriating difficulty *is* its appeal.

>>11840606
LOL please refer to the graph BEFORE replying !!

>>11840660
You are clinically retarded, I never claimed that I was good at the game. God are you stupid.

>>11839921 (OP)
everyone who loves this games KNOWS it is a pile of trash but loves it anyway. this is what you need to understand.

>>11840196
>Like 10% of the cards require 99999999 starchips or some crap like that to purchase.
I'm guessing they didn't want you curb stomping the entire game immediately with a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

>>11840828
no but you are confident that you're competent enough to judge if the game is well designed or not. you feel that you can tell if you're having a skill issue or if the game is poorly designed. but people who are more competent than you recognize that you're wrong.

dunning kreuger isn't thinking you're good at a game and then getting your ass kicked by it an humbling yourself. it's thinking you're good at video games in general, finding a game that kicks your ass, and assuming it's the game's fault for being a "pile of trash" rather than your own skill issue.

I want to like it but I tried a few times and I can't even get past the first battle

The japanese version had a pocketsation feature that would allow you to earn starchips, which is why cards are so expensive.
Since the pocketstation never released in the west and the devs adjusted the prices of the cards, the western release is simply broken.

Anyway I really liked the music and atmosphere the second half set in post apocalyptic egypt was especially cool. The gameplay was fun but in the end it really boils down to placing the strongest card possible on the field and winning, no room for strategy of any kind.

>>11841264
*never adjusted

I shouldn't be posting at 4 in the morning

>>11840464
it's literally a failure of game design because the game actually wasn't like this in japan at all and it's easy to buy powerful monsters.
>>11840654
the issue is the difficulty is how much time you're willing to kill grinding rather than an actual challenge. It took me many hours of grinding s tech or whatever just to have enough spells to beat it, it just gets boring as fuck eventually and the story although a semi interesting look into how the actual manga/anime could have ended, gets sullied by that grindy af shit too. That's also ignoring the fact that every npc is honestly piss easy to beat minus the final bosses.

>>11840606
yeah it is, people like this: >>11841386
think they know better than the devs what to do with the game, but they don't, they just have high confidence that they are tasteful discerning gamers. but they aren't.

>>11839921 (OP)
Is one of those "you had to be there" games

>>11840464
>All games I like are perfect and without flaws. Any 'flaws' that exist are just skill issues with the person who made the complaint!
It's sad how common such a stupid mentality is.

This is called a "legendary shit game" in Japan.

Are there not even cool battle animations in this game? It just seems to be the cards moving and the board rotating, I thought each attack would be shown as an FF7 style summon.

>>11842173
The battle animations are optional. Most people don't bother with them cause each are like 2 minutes long and most don't look that interesting.
Also instead of burning up in flames on a black background, the losing card explodes on the board, with the scattered pieces set ablaze.

>>11842168
>i know better than the developers and the people who have made an earnest try

>>11842192
>i know better than the developers
They aren't flawless human beings just because they made a game you like, Anon. Also as others have already pointed out to your low IQ ass, dome if the issues are only an issue in the English version and thus are going against the dev's intents anyways.

So basically you're stupid desu.

>>11842689
such confidence and yet such little competence. consult le graff

Since we're talking about Yu Gi Oh, why does this game barely get mentioned compared to Duelists of the Roses or the GBA ones? I used to play it back in the day. It was fun, plus I believe every monster in the game had its own animation.

>>11842920
There are regularly threads about this game as well as the GBA ones. Very often.

>>11839921 (OP)
Yu Gi Oh is just one of those things that attracts a certain type. Like there's nerds you wanna get involved with and nerds you don't

>>11842920
>Since we're talking about Yu Gi Oh, why does this game barely get mentioned compared to Duelists of the Roses or the GBA ones?
Because the game sucks? Giving each monster random movement and attack range is absolutely retarded.

>>11842805
Shut up, retard. You're not even saying anything of substance at this point.

>>11842920
most people never played it

it was neat how i had some japanese cards like the 3000def shield and it was in the game using that card number
never did beat it, but did figure out early on that it's all about trying to get that lightning dragon. never learned the zodiac system

>>11839921 (OP)
It's got good aesthetic and atmosphere, fueled by a superb OST. It can be grindy and cryptic, and overall plays too simple, but I find that charming. If you're a fan of the IP, and are willing to look up a guide, playing this can be a comfortable and fun time.

>>11839980
>>11840196
I'd say fusion is one of the best parts... it's all about card types. A fire and a beast? Flame Cerebrus. A woman and a rock? Mystical Sand. A forest and a beast? Flower Wolf. If you get this and experiment a little, the whole thing opens up so much!

It's kusoge, but quite enjoyable in its own way.

Japanese Devs know what's best for a man, how it's about the journey not the reward at the end

>>11842168
It's a tough issue, often the criticism is valid and the people defending are just blinded by nostalgia, but other times it can also be a case where the person is indeed getting filtered, for this particular title I think nostalgia plays a bigger part, but often on other threads the latter can be quite common too, anon.

>>11839921 (OP)
agreed. game looks ass

bit of a let down how little trap cards matter in this game

>>11839921 (OP)
It's horribly balanced and starts getting absurdly grindy when you reach the mages (apparently an additional feature in Japan remedied this somewhat?) but the OST is top tier, the pulp horror vibe of early Yugioh is fun, and the mechanics are simple to play - with fusion especially being a very "tactile" digital only mechanic with big swirls and a flashy outcome. Much more convenient than actual fusion at the time

>>11839921 (OP)
because the music is cool. also all the "praise" for it is just everyone collectively and fondly remembering the evil bullshit in it

>>11839921 (OP)
>Why do autists love it so much?
it was right on time:
>Release
JP: December 9, 1999
NA: March 19, 2002[1]
EU: November 22, 2002

now I wonder if we;ll get a second early days collection with most of the console games.

namely:

Capsule Monster PSX
Forbidden Memories
Duels of the Roses
Falsebound Kingdom
Dawn of Destiny
Capsule Monster Colosseum
Nightmare Troubadour

Might be a bit much but well...

>>11848678
Just emulate them now instead of hoping to pay for an official emulator

>>11845110
and rituals were completely useless

>>11849547
Official emulator will have online play

>>11849883
also they'll prolly modify Forbidden Memories a smidge so you can get all the cards, even the ones that require cap star chips just to get.
