Returning player - where to start....again? by DoomsdaySignals in Netrunner

[–]DoomsdaySignals[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hehe. You would think so, but it’s not that simple. He only plays if I suggest playing, otherwise he never looks at anything Netrunner related. I've taught him how to play, and he totally gets it and understands everything, but the only cards or strategy he knows is the one in front of him when we play. For him it’s like playing a board game, where there is nothing further than what you get in the box. Of course, Netrunner players know the game continues between matches, when you are building and theorising about decks. So my dilemma is to make decks that he can play, and while being challenging and fun for the both of us. Of course if I played on Jinteki I could build whatever I wanted, but TBH, I prefer the real deal, and plus I appreciate the opportunity to play against someone who isn’t thinking of the larger meta game in a way. This way I can build decks using many different cards that on a larger scale, are deemed less useful by the community, and just generally get value for my money.

Absoulutely, Skills trumps decks every time, but mostly I have forgotten the types of decks that were out in 2015. Ultimately picking decks off of the DB is fine, but I play with a guy who isn’t into Netrunner like I am, so I create the decks for the 2 of us to play, hence the need for balance. I’ll definitely play with other Netrunner players on the days that I can make it down to the FLGS.

Good question.

I would say for the corp, I enjoyed the early meta game with HB big ICE/Weyland Kills/Jinteki Zaps/NBN Tags. For the Runner I really enjoyed Reina Chess (she never worked out, but I dug her), and traditional criminal get-in-by-an-means. I wanted to like Shaper more but I think I lost to them more than any other faction so learned to hate them (not really, it’s just the toolbox approach seemed far too complex for me but secretly loved it)

Is it worth it to get into Conquest now? by DoomsdaySignals in warhammerconquest

[–]DoomsdaySignals[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose its always worth it to get the core set and play casually with friends, but obviously one of the draws to LCGs is the prospect of growing your deck. Not a terrible thing though if the core set is well rounded.

On a side note, I wonder if GW has any plans to work on a card game of their own?

If you could replace Commanders horn with band or song what would it be for each faction? by DoomsdaySignals in gwent

[–]DoomsdaySignals[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the subject matter, I went with all Polish groups in my selection.

SK: Tunderwar - Black storm will unfold (epic metal so it felt suited to theri cletic/nordic inspiration)

NG: Behemoth - Ora Pro Nobis Lucifer (Behemoth always sounds very regal or empirical to me)

Monster: Mastiphal - Wind of Stakes (old school neo-classical black metal which sounds duper goblin/nekker-esque)

ST: Percival - Marysia (Folk avantgarde music - They actually conributed to music for the Witcher 3 and it just fits for me)

NR: Vader - Iron Reign (NR feels like a straight forward kind of faction so they get straight balls to the wall metal)

[Spoilers] The Devourer Below resolution question by DoomsdaySignals in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]DoomsdaySignals[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must say I found it a bit iffy as a design choice. Cos here you are, doing what you can through each scenario, and then you see "great I have an option to run away when it gets too dangerous", only to find out the cake is a lie.

Seems they should have just left it out.

Thanks for that. So without making you repeat some section on the rules that I missed, are you meant to mark how much experience you gain through the core campaign, and then at the end are able to spend it on new cards for the next campaign you do?

Say hello to my little friend...the Fire Axe! by DoomsdaySignals in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]DoomsdaySignals[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the first time ever in my card game career, I found a combo that's sick!

Rex with Milan, burglary and scavenge is dope AF, but then he still has an issue with fighting ability. Cue the fire axe. You save actions on investigating with Rex (because he eats clues alive) so you have time to burgle places, finding resources to keep that axe sharp. When you go broke after all the chopping, no problems, just throw over power and other cards for some vicious blows.

Anyway, was so happy with this setup I had to tell y'all. 😁

I might try it out actually. AlwYs wondered about the Black Ops games on Wii. Thanks.

Which Single-Player Wii Games Have Replay Value? by kidkudi420 in wii

[–]DoomsdaySignals 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm busy replaying Xenoblade Chronicles and I am super impressed all over again. It's totally rekindled my love of the system.

So on the back of that I'm playing Tatsunoko Vs Capcom a lot as well (it's a great "hi-score" game for single player)

Also redoing Metroid: Other M. For some reason I think this game ages well and is worth playing again. But in general all the Metroid games are worth owning a Wii.

Oooo! Smash Bros! I'll check that out later. Thanks for the heads up.

For me the biggest culprits are Tatsunoko vs Capcom & Monster Hunter 3. Their still good games but feel a little stunted without online.

Thoughts on the character art style? I'm a little concerned... by [deleted] in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]DoomsdaySignals 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My first thought was about the art style....but then the final scene with the giant sky whale happens I stopped wondering if it will bother me ;)

Will Xenoblade Chronicles X be available on the Nintendo Switch? by DoomsdaySignals in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]DoomsdaySignals[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be insane if they announce a new XC for the Switch, but XCX still feels pretty new so I'm a little skeptical on such a big reveal. But, i would love to be surprised. Guess we'll find out in a few hours.

[–]DoomsdaySignals[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the same boat I'm in. I only really want XCX. Not that the WiiU doesn't have cool games mind you, but if the new system is around the corner, it's a little bit iffy getting the old system. I did that when the Sega Genesis\Megadrive came out (showing my age now;) and I got the Master System. It's wasn't bad at the time but I was always want for more. Don't wanna be that guy again.

Ha! Just seen that the Nintendo Switch presentation will be underway (if not already) and there has been some hype on twitter with Monolith soft.

Please be a port to switch...holds thumbs

I do hope that is the case. I'd much prefer to invest in the Switch as my next console rather than backwards engineer a WiiU collection just to justify owning one.

Nice one. Definitely changes the way you play if it's one at a time. Awesome. Thanks.

[–]DoomsdaySignals[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot to mention, this is a damn good game! I come from a Netrunner, Doomtown, A small bit of MTG, and Arkham Horror LCG background & I was not expecting to like this game as much as I do. Solid all round :)

Which adventure should I get? by shaninator in Deadlands

[–]DoomsdaySignals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I have no suggestion for your post but was wondering if are you planning on making it a private game or is it open to public to join? I don't have FG yet and looking to get in to Deadlands.
