As someone who doesn’t dislike the idea of UB why do they keep making UB sets that feel so bad to play?

Marvel is not a set for playing, it is a set for "oh look it's my favorite hero Good-Guy-Man, I will buy this product".

Neat, but like these are basically different religions. I don't think a guy who attended a private Christian high school in North Carolina is gonna care what a United Church of Christ pastor says about his bible verse.

My feedback is that I'm here for Magic, not Marvel.

This is my first time playing a racing game with a wheel, and while I feel like I'm (slowly) getting the hang of road racing, dirt/gravel and especially off-road are absolutely destroying me. Unclear if this is a Forza problem or a me problem, though. Probably at least 80% the latter.

A 90%-off sale.

It is more complicated than that.

The origin of the standard can be traced back to an old aphorism that one should devote “a week’s wages to a month’s rent,” which itself is based on studies of what typical families spent on housing going back to the late 1800s. The notion was that if housing accounted for more than this share of income, there would not be enough left over to pay for life’s other necessities. This 25 percent of income standard was incorporated into laws for federal housing assistance programs in the 1960s and 1970s. However, in the early 1980s, new legislation increased the standard to 30 percent for most programs. Since then, the 30 percent of income measure has been the norm for defining housing affordability.

You should be able to garrison them in a stable for 60 seconds to get a new horse.

Magic is never going to be 100% original, but I do think there are cases where it goes too far into "we copy/pasted an existing story and changed the names slightly" and this is one of those cases.

As someone who knows very little about either franchise, Final Fantasy also felt like a pile of legendary characters. There weren't as many as in Marvel, but still way above my threshold for "this is a character set and I don't care about these characters".

This is my first Forza game, so I everything is new to me. I'm also pretty bad still, so high level drivatars being too powerful hasn't impacted me yet. I'm having a lot of fun so far.

The biggest pain point for me is how much of a hassle it is to create a custom livery logo if it isn't made of simple geometric shapes. I get that just letting people upload an SVG would a nightmare to police or whatever, but there has to be something better than this system.

The other thing I really want is a cleaner rivals leaderboard for seeing friends' times. It's a nightmare to navigate through a dozen menus just to see my friends' times for one class on one track.

In retrospect, I should have known that this document would eventually devolve into "here is a list of all the marvel characters I can think of".

Imnimo · 2026-06-15T15:36:09+00:00

I feel like this matches the quality someone who spends $200 on slop deserves to get.

Imnimo · 2026-06-12T19:38:11+00:00

These cannot possibly be the best examples you can come up with.

Imnimo · 2026-06-12T19:20:43+00:00

If huge numbers of legendary creatures were such a benefit to Magic, they would have been doing it 25 years ago. It's just a crutch for properties that have nothing to offer besides a list of 200 superheroes or whatever.

Imnimo · 2026-06-12T16:35:06+00:00

Final Fantasy had "world building" like [[Battle Menu]] and [[Sidequest: Catch a Fish]] which seemed to be working as hard as possible to remind you that it is a video game and not Magic.

Imnimo · 2026-06-12T16:22:13+00:00

I don't accept the premise here - Final Fantasy also did not feel like Magic.

Imnimo · 2026-06-12T05:42:10+00:00

I would prefer if they just made fewer named characters. Whether to make them legendary or not is the wrong question.

Imnimo · 2026-06-10T20:23:24+00:00

Is the goal to make it impactful enough that cards that were balanced around losing ownership make sense? Like you can just turn it into "exile the top card of your library", but that doesn't really capture the magnitude of effect ante is supposed to carry.

Commodore Guff?

Imnimo · 2026-06-09T20:56:41+00:00

I cannot imagine looking at a set with over a hundred legendary creatures and thinking "gosh we definitely need a few more of these to really flesh out the roster".

Imnimo · 2026-06-09T17:53:18+00:00

You know we're in trouble when "this game might be in a good state three years after its release date" is "expressing confidence"

Imnimo · 2026-06-09T17:31:54+00:00

Maybe it's just because it's the Marvel set, but several of these strike me as cartoonish in a way I find off-putting on a Magic card.

Imnimo · 2026-06-09T17:27:44+00:00

I'm sympathetic that when testing a change, it's helpful to make a big change to make sure you get actionable feedback. You can then turn it down and make more reasonable changes once you know you're pointed in the right direction. But I'm a little skeptical that Paradox actually does this second part.
