I remember my time with it fondly. My little sister was 5 or 6 at the time and just fell in love with the characters and would throw a fit if my brother and I played it without her there.

Cards into gems is essentially never cost effective. Emotes/backgrounds into gems can be cost effective. Sometimes buying boosters will save you a little, but it's pretty rare and you can't predict what you're going to get, so if you're making badges you're generally better off buying or trading for what specific cards you are missing.

It's a 60 to 80 hour game that came out in 2003/2004 but okay Zky.
Then again I really dislike Tales games now mostly. Probably not buy it again despite how much I liked it in the past.
It depends. Booster packs containing more expensive cards aren't intrinsically worth more gems all the time.
I don't think it's ever cost-effective, for example if you have 1(3) cent cards that turns into 10 gems (seen quite a lot of those), you would spend $1 to get 1000 gems. That's 1 sack, and it's sold in the market for around 70 cents.
You could hunt for underpriced packs, but it seems a lot of effort just to gain a few cents.
So I'm watching GT finish up RE5 and *minor Bloodborne spoilers*
They mention that Miyazaki was really a big fan of the game. You've Jill as Eileen the Crow, and personally I can see Wesker's final form as the inspiration for the Orphan of Kos. (Well him and Geese Howard) He's the orphan of Spencer in a way, who wanted to be a Great Old One or something...

At least Miyazaki appreciates good games

Now you are going to get hate from people around here for not blowing entire pay checks and getting games on release that they have no intention of playing just to idle in them for cards.
Or something.
Watch out y'all, too cryptic for me! *rolls eyes*
But it must have been of note as you apparently had to mention the price you paid for it...!
EDIT: Zky it might be because you have a smarmy response to a lot of things people converse with you about? And this is coming from me, an asshole, to be fair.
I still love ya!
I'd definitely say 12/13 years difference is not new.

I didn't take a offense :<, sorry that it came off that way. Was just saying you seem to kinda disregarded it because of it's price.
It's cheap because it's the HD re-release of a game that originally came out in 2003/2004.
Which is over a decade old and in game terms that's kinda old.

Boo! Devs purposefully disabled saving in the Game Over Endgame "Mission" without a way to enable it.
This is bs. I don't care if they want to show the brutality of war with this or make either the escape of the island or your death both viable true endings to the game. In a game like ArmA where a single stray bullet from an enemy impossible to see from hundreds of meters away, taking away saving is stupid, frustrating and not fun. Especially since it was enabled for the whole campaign. Boo Bohemia, boo!

I always like the look of Warhammer 40k, and hearing people talking about it with various races/lore sounds interesting, is there any recommended warhammer games on sale that will let you get into the lore and know some of the faction/characters etc?
I'm not really in it for the gameplay, although it's certainly welcome if it had decent to good gameplay. just want to try getting into Warhammer story.
I see Space Hulk is the cheapest in the current sale, will that be a good intro to warhammer? I'm also looking into Space Marine or one of the Dawn of War games.

It's already been explained by Blow. Basically ps4 demands more achievement fluff when Blow only wanted 2 achievements. So Ps4 now has a bunch of trivial achievements along with the main 2 that Blow wanted to focus on. Steam just gets the 2. Also I don't think card would work for a game that seems to have a lot of secrets that it wants to keep.... Unless they were a bunch of line puzzles I guess
gross
the dawn of war games are kind of universally loved, i used to play a lot of dawn of war 1 and i liked it a lot. it's like a lower scale rts so it plays a bit like an action rpg and i think dawn of war 2 doubles down on that stuff. i'd probably go for those, try and find a bundle that has all the dlc so u can see all the different races and such
also i hear good things of space marine tho i kind of hated what little i played of that one
no idea about sales tho, just a few noteworthy wh40k games

The cards could just be a bunch of environmental shots, which a lot of other games use.
That said, I imagine Blow has an issue with the "mindless collectible/consumerist" aspect of virtual trading cards given out for playing a game.

Dawn of War 2's campaign goes pretty deep on Space Marine/Chaos stuff in a really cool way. The expansion has multiple endings based on your choices, for example.
Space Marine is just spectacle with the slightest promise of a better story next time. (Keeping mind that there was never a sequel.)
...All of that Imperium of Man stuff is basically the same in the games, from what I've seen. Y'know, Purge the xeno filth, praise the emperor, ORRRRHHHKKKSSSS, die for the emperor, etc.
Also,

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
The most story heavy game is probably Space Marine. The problem with looking for story or lore in these games is that it's all been pre-established in table top source books and novels. All of the games pretty much have the same premise: One of the bastard xeno races is invading some planet and the Space Marines are going to try and stop it.
The Dawn of War games have something of a continuous story. I think if you go Dawn of War > Winter Assault > Dark Crusade > DoW II > Chaos Rising > Retribution, you get a fairly meaty story. You also get like 200 hours of RTS gameplay though.

Yup, this is exactly why I stopped using it.
Having it do that to me 3 times within an 8 hour period was enough for me to say "eff this ish, I'm out".
