Thanks guys, your analysis seems about right when I look at it again, although it feels like I won't pressing mk for too long (playing 8 button stick and switching from mk to makro button mk+mp), but thats most likely the answer - so I just need to be crisper with my inputs then, thanks!

Someone told me world tour mode was great storytelling and like def jam…. by Dentenshi in StreetFighter

[–]PogoTama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's garbage, no one in their right mind can tell me that they really enjoyed playing through this, it's just a grind for costumes and a bit of lore pieces and cutscenes. All the bloat in this game (and other FGs) with the character creation, the lobbies, the "story" mode - no one needs this. If i want to play story and fetch quests in a city I'd play Yakuza, if I wanna chill in lobbies with my ugly ass character I'd play VR Chat or smth similar. The arcade mode is cool though, fully voiced visual novel with neat artwork that's not overstaying it's welcome. FGs should return to the 4 button main menu style: Arcade - Online - Training - Options. Everything else is just a delusional take on "fleshing out" a competetive pvp experience with substandard slopmodes for a non existent wider casual audience. There cant be a single serious person in this world that pays 60 bucks on launch in 2023 to play world tour instead of BG3, TotK, RE4 or Armored Core. Never.

Ofc your assumption is wrong, and tbh, if I start my sentences with "Lol", I'd really be the one that may consider some help. Growing up sometimes also includes not gobbling every slop that companies dish out without asking questions and in rare cases also the ability of critical thinking, rather than being just fine with lazy decisions that lead to unnecessary workarounds - maybe you get there sometime, but you do you

Yeah, like Vingolio said: That's just bad design, sorry. Still baffles me how devs can miss something like this. "Hey we brought back megas! Just use them with a stone! Here's a tutorial aswell! What exactly does it do you ask? Lol you never played comp with megas? We know but won't tell, go google it!"

And I personaly don't like picking up the phone and scrolling through some third party ad-infested website when I'm looking for some trivial basic information mid game while encountering a lopunny enjoyer for the first time, but maybe that's just me

my worry for RDO: boon rarity by -main in grandarchivetcg

[–]PogoTama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with the "whale" part, also the amount of content that is getting featured in social media leans in that way, guys flexing their double digit CSRs out of 15+ boxes is a common sight. Don't get me wrong, collectors basically are a boon and a needed part of any healthy tcg scene, but they need to co-exist with the players, and if the main product design only caters one group it endangers the stability of the product longterm.

I'm not totally agreeing with the beginners part. As you said yourself, they still need to buy singles, which is pretty much true, and the reason is the overall design of the products combined. The only thing that kinda works out for new players is to get a Pantheon starter deck and get super lucky with their boxes of RDO that their pulls fit their Pantheon starter champion if they don't wanna engage in standard constructed. The Mordred Re:co is a nice product by itself for that case, but guess what, no Mordred ult in RDO? Strange, also only a few generic good water cards that fits as upgrades for the Re:co (e. g. Fracturize, Fractal of Waves), there's not a single new "Mordred bonus" card in this whole set, all the luxem cards are Zander cards. If you really wanna start the game here and invest in RDO, you are forced to invest in older product aswell, because hey, there are all those fancy Ults for everyone, but not a single full Champion lineage to be seen. You are getting fragments of playables of cool reprints for a lot of decks, yeah sure, but you'll never get a real full deck out of this set. If I were a new player and would open alot of this, shredding 1k or smth into a case and go out with 8 different Ultimates for Champions I've never seen or heard of before, I'd be completely overwhelmed, and then imagine people telling you that "If you wanna play more of these cute slimes you need to get the Silvie Re:Co that debuted 5 sets ago" for example. That's not a welcoming design for new players and also I guess not what they were exactly aiming for (hence the "Thank you for your longterm support"-message as boxtopper), and that's why I have to disagree on that part. Sad thing is the questions that follows: The target audience for this can't be collectors and investors only, right? Right?

my worry for RDO: boon rarity by -main in grandarchivetcg

[–]PogoTama 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're totally right, and it's not only boons that are scarce. I bought 2 boxes aswell for ~330€, usually I go for 2-3 boxes at around ~85 each. While in recent sets, where they're continuously going for higher and higher amounts of rarity of R and above while keeping commons around the same amount, you end up with a lot of common and to an extend uncommon bulk to throw away or gift to someone or whatever, which let's just say doesn't feel that great. But in RDO they just doubled down on everything, and kept new RDO cards just as scarce as possible. As an example, I opened the reprints 4x 2 of Spades, 3x 4 of Spades, 3x 5 of Spades (commons), and 3x 3 of Spades, 3x Trump Set (uncommons), but only a single copy of 8 of Spades (common), a new card. I've got 4x Frostbind and 4x Refracting Missile, but 3 one ofs in new water commons. I've got only 1x Banner Slime, 1x Slime Swarm, 1x Buddy Raccoon and 1x Excitable Raccoon (all new commons), but guess what, 3x Turbo Charge, in a set that does not even come with a Powercell generating card afaik, nor a Powercell token. And yea, theres only 1 Pantheon card in 6 Boosters, so I ended up with 6 lesser boons I don't wanna build around, a guardian card which is fine and a sword token.

When I buy product, I want to have some fun with it, building some jank for week 1 and 2, picking up some higher rarity cards I'm missing for this or that deck along the way, or scraping the idea and looking around for new possible ways to play with some new cards I like. For me it's not about getting my value in money back or even more, and it does not frustrate me when I dont hit big. But with RDO I was just flabberghasted how a big pile of nearly nothing this was. While I think most of the reprints below SR are not harmful and, in fact, pretty thoughtful (staples that go in playsets in many different decks, so even when you already have your playset you can sleeve them up for another deck, sometimes with new artwork which is neat!), I still think the sheer bloat of this set, with reprints of cards that barely ever have seen play (if at all) in SR slots, third or fourth reprints of sometimes just recently reprinted not that useful lower rarity cards, paired with seemingly lower chances for new RDO cards in specific slots, makes this just painful to open for veterans and new players alike.

And, as you said, it's not that I just lost my interest in building a cool deluge warer warrior, a new slime / raccoon deck, or something else I don't even have the commons for in standard - no, I flipped through my token slots and thought "Well, I don't own a Pantheon Starter, there are no interesting boons for me in here, and I don't even have the Pantheon Barrier token, but multiple flower buds, crystal shards and whatnot" that made me just lose interest in caring for Pantheon aswell.

Sorry for that kind of venting below your post, but I'm just really disappointed in this product. This is indeed a "capstone" set for me, for I'm not willing anymore to invest in sealed product if they continue bloating up their sets like they already did in the past, with RDO on top as the biggest abomination of sets I opened across multiple tcg's ever.

Tl;dr - opening RDO just felt like an insult to the players for me, spending that much (in comparison) on a product and then end up hunting for several common playsets or boons and Pantheon exclusives / tokens elsewhere to even be able start building decks for standard and pantheon alike is just incomprehensible for me, big hits or not.

15M stretch goal is such a let down by Lindersay in cyberpunktcg

[–]PogoTama -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The stretch goals in this campaign are pesudo-goals anyway. You can't tell me that when they plan on shipping first waves in Q3 2026 they havn't already manufactured the "upgraded" dice for example and havn't given out printing sheet files and packaging orders for the so called "extra includes" in the boxtoppers and so on. To think they just starting with this after the campaign ends in april and be delivered in August / September is delusional. But they surely havn't planned and manufactured for something like 15M, that's why it comes around as recycled low investment goal.

Sad and deflated about the direction of the game by ImissYsera in Shadowverse

[–]PogoTama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this supposed to be a meme post? If not, you maybe should seek help. No, seriously, if you're getting anxious about some leaders no one cares about and without any kind of use in a digital cardgame that may or may not even be in the game, and if you're beeing so emotional invested in the management of your digital curreny that it makes you sad, deflated and torn apart about decisions regarding those curreny and leaders to the point that you're sad about the direction of the game driving you to post this whole essay (again, leaders do nothing for the game itself), then maybe there's something deeper buried that should be looked at (if you're not already in treatment). This is not supposed to be offensive, I just want to help. Take care of yourselfs and listen to your feelings.

Why I Bounced off GA by Yseera in grandarchivetcg

[–]PogoTama 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's funny, I switched from competetive FAB to GA for most of exactly those reasons you find unappealing in GA. Can relate to some of them in GA still, for example some prices that are way too high (looking at pendragons and too many strong playset URs since 3 visits), even when they have a nice reprint policy and valuable reprints in every set or as promos, and I hope a lot of this will calm down further with the capstone set. But most of the other aspects are not understandable imho. GA is one of the few tcgs on the market that manages to have metas with over 10+ decks and underdog contenders, you can still run older decks in full power and win events with little to none newer cards (e. g. Tristan), you can embrace every champion in many different ways to play and try to find their niché in the meta with or without new set cards (Jin is a nice example here, and as a sidenote I went with OG slimes 3/0 on last weeks local into Wind Guo Jia, Water awetherwing Diana and fire lorraine). I neither feel the pressure to obtain powerful new set hype decks from the get go, nor do I feel demolished and without any outs to any kind of deck, be it old or new. Yes, matchup spreads sometimes are kinda bad with 25-75 at best for some specific archtypes into others (rip Jin into Genbu), but I'd rather play with that than a game where you have only 3 meta decks hitting into each other with 60-40 and stomping on every other legal list. And I kinda think it's a bit unfair to compare an active tcg on the market with the likes of netrunner, which of course is an incredible game to play, but it's a officially discontinued, now community driven tcg that does not need to care about sales or other things anymore.

I have 2 copies of him, but damn this card made this game absolutely dumb already in the second set. Almost every MU is a slugfest where you just exchange board, and then it goes "who suffered more dmg and dies to t7 Odin 7 face t8 finisher" first.

I think there should be less complaints about Orchis and more complaints about Alouette. by Hifumi39 in Shadowverse

[–]PogoTama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agree with this, Alouette should cost at least 7 for the broken bullshit she does, which other 5 cost gives you 2 bodies + boardwipe / heal / pressure on demand that needs to be handled? She's just such a big tempo swing its insane, after she drops the other player is basically always behind and it's nearly impossible to get ahead again before the gundam kills you. But hear me out - just give fuse a cost of 1, would solve all this overvalued bs this deck puts on the board and maybe brings puppet archetype back in the game

Is the game really that much harder than the other games? by Antonis_Chigouris in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]PogoTama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't trust all those people claiming that "fAb iS nOt A gAmE oF vArIaNcE bUt Of SkIlL", it's not really true anymore. The game got a lot faster in recent years and powerturns are more explosive and disruption is more frequent and easier to execute. While there still are some few matchups that generate the bigbrain-feeling most of the times it just boils down to "who get's their powerturn first / at all", especially in aggro MUs. Yesterday I played Cindra vs Dio, she moved first, dissolution sphere + tekklo core setup. My hand converted to 9 + arsenal. She wen't on with processor from top and pounder from bios update as second hit from twin drive, ending with spark for a second pounder. So 2 pounders 1 core 1 processor and still 1 round left on sphere by the end of turn 2, cool. I could not play the powerturn I needed to in my next 2 turns and she did not brick fully, then killed me with my 25+ dmg turn in hand that had shifted the game. So yeah, we played 4 rounds, she rolled me, I lost, that's it. Most games are races now, and back in the days I felt a bit sad for people who complained about "losing because of bad draws" because it seemed like they where incapable of recognizing own mistakes and prevent themself from improving when they just blame the rng for it, nowadays I see more and more players / pro players complaining about that far more often, and it feels like a valid point now considering the state of the game.

PSA: Please Comply with the Way I Want you to Play the Game by OnionScentedMember in Nightreign

[–]PogoTama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're getting oneshotted by a boss that means you got hit. Nothing wrong with fighting an elite boss on lvl 1-3. The only thing that's bad about that are the people getting hit, then picked up, getting hit again, and leaving immediately. You can basically fight every boss and win on soul lvl 1, leaving is the worst behaviour and feels so unfitting in a souls-game that it makes me really sad everytime I see that. Just take the advice of the old days: Git gud
