To speak seriously about No Game No Life, it's just mediocre. It's like if you wanted to see a lazy, goofy, fanservicey Death Note or Code Geass scenario where it's basically "the main character is a genius". Without the focus or writing quality of either show.

AMD's video cards give them a lot of bad lipservice. I'll tout the processors for their price point till I die though.

Man, hearthstone is such a bullshit pay to win game.
If you want to be able to beat people you need good cards, and to get good cards you need to buy them, otherwise it takes literally an eternity to get the currency to buy one pack.

It's just a CCG. It's not any worse than any other cardgame. Heck it's pretty lenient about the ingame currency you can earn in a day.

I played too and couldn't win a single game.
The only card video game that I enjoy are the yugioh ones on the psp. But that's just because they basically had S. links

It's not that I can't win, it's that you have to get super lucky to not get matched up against people that have literally just dumped their wallets in to the game. They just have better cards, and that is terrible.

Oh yeah, that's an inherent problem with online cardgames. In real life you can have the same issue against experts, but most people play casually. My fun with hearthstone was mostly from playing locally with friends on tablets.

In a way, since you can get the same cards with dedication by completing quests though, I don't find any of the pay stuff offensive. If anything it makes Hearthstone more fair than other cardgames IRL where you do have to buy cards/packs.

I still can't decide if I want to watch with English Commentary or Japanese. On one hand I know what's happening love the screaming commentary and don't like Matt Striker, but I'm watching with people and they might not understand a thing that's happening without it.

I'll just have to play it by ear.

I've heard that JR completely made the main event. He had some trouble calling the scrambles, but he did a good job.

I really like the Japanese commentary for the screaming, but if you're watching it with others go for the English version. It'll be the easiest for everyone.

You also get to hear Jim Ross scream "RAIIIINMAAAKKERR"

You're probably right, but I find any Pay-to-win set-up offensive. How offensive I find it depends on how bad it is. Heartstone being not nearly as bad as others in this regard doesn't suddenly justify it entirely.
Click to expand...

Sure, and I find it worse in some games than others to be sure, and it's more of a dealbreaker for some people than others. Hearthstone has a setup where you can buy the same things you buy with money with ingame currency for completing certain daily goals. So you have an option of Pay2Advantage or Play2Advantage. I find both disheartening, but it's there.

Cardgames have always been based around the idea of paying for cards, so I find it acceptable personally especially since playing often gets you the same shot at a pack that $2 does or whatever. Even if you also wanted to spend money on packs, you'd still want to go for free ones.

There's an argument to be made over if the balance of Hearthstone vs other card games skews more in favor of people who have amazing cards from playing often or paying, but that's one I'm not qualified to defend the game over. I just found it extremely similar, if not the same or better than other games, just that since you're playing hard-core randoms, you see better decks than you see IRL if you play a card game with local nerds.


TL;DR It's less pay2win than any other card game probably. That doesn't make it OK, but that's how card games are set up.


Edit: Also I'm definitely not saying you guys should go play Hearthstone, just that the complaint applies to every card game.

I'd like to play Hearthstone, but the art is so fucking ugly to me that I couldn't bare it. It's the same issue I have with Magic, great game, but goddamn is that art not for me.

Magic art is really inconsistent. Anyway yeah, Hearthstone is really well animated so it looks good in motion and with the UI, but the card art is pretty shit. Not to mention every card has a soundbyte when summoned, and some get on your nerves like nothing else.

By the same token it's also a blizzard game, so you can pretty much count on shit to be super unbalanced every two months.

For as much as I coming off as defending it, the actual game is just ok. Patches are indeed weird. I also haven't played since Naxximus or whatever months ago.
Maragidyne said:
Yeah, I know. I'm glad Heartstone managed to create a more proper balance between paying and playing users and I know the genre itself often revolves around buying cards and improving your deck. I'm just less forgiving of it than most are, I suppose.
Click to expand...
Sure. It's an inherent thing to card games, and I get why that frustrates people. The few singleplayer video game card games are awesome since you get the full array of cards you could ever get from just playing.

Fremium stuff stuff in skill based genres bug me way more. I won't even say it's not bad, just that it's always been that way.

Naxxramas is a giant money/time gate too. $25 for the whole thing, or it's like, 700 gold per wing.

While I do agree that Naxxramas is a huge money gate, I think its a lot of single player content as well. I know most players aren't going to do them, but the extra challenges feel satisfying from what I've played. It just depends on what your getting out of it imo.

there is a twist that is supposed to make this better but it is a lazy cop out and does not. Yeah the show is not great but when I saw the Chie best girl reference and the wrryyyy I thought I would give it more of a chance than it deserves. I still only made it through 5 episodes

Its a show that supposed to be about games and how to win them, but
most of the ways they play are bullshit.
They go on a magical fantasy land that resolve conflicts by playing games. Its poorly written also with a bad color palette.

Two expert gamers are sucked into the database (wow wow) because they are good at games, it tries to go for a Death Note/Code Geass thing of a genius playing against the system but no where near as good. There is a huge amount of fanservice in it with almost a borderline ecchi feel to it with, from what I have seen of it, is strongly focused on an 11 year old girl. The games that I had seen were not very compelling and for the most part were bullshit. I just found the show boring and I stopped watching it.

I share every complaint, but I found it moderately enjoyable. If you wanna watch lame Code Geass/Death Note, that still has some cool plans, it's worth it. There's a game where anything they say becomes reality, which is actually pretty cool.

I get where you are coming from and I can see where it can be entertaining but if I get into a negative mood on something it will take a huge effort on my target's part to change my opinion on it. I know I'm not being fair and have only seen a handful of episodes but there wasn't anything there for me. Did they end up turning it into a
harem thing?
it seemed to be going that route where I left off

Yeah this is one were I am watching for the commentary/RAGE lore instead of the game. It's entertaining at first but the game is repetitive to watch. But we do get some good moments out of it.
