Card Games General

In fact, I think I am going to go and leave a bad review on this game. Fuck U Valve!

I was sarcastic, but point taken

You know it’s coming out in November?

yeha but im not allowed to nut this month

I think beta owners get to play next week

yo NMA buy me artifact

I’m not sure if I’m buying it myself. I’m only buying if what reddit is saying about ā€œPhantom Draftā€ being free is true.

Valve’s recent faq saying stuff like how you’re going to have to pay to play ā€œeventsā€ after buying the game and the cards is just really stupid.

I think its smart.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I like what they're doing with some of this stuff. Very clean

However my big concern with artifact is that it's just too boring. Nobody gives a fuck about your Axe, with Blademail. Compare that to dropping a sick Vilgefortz and he's got the animated image of him burning some dude's face off and it's hard to imagine how Artifact can compete.

My problem is everything I’ve seen about the game says draft is a 3x better game mode and I don’t really want to pay 20 dollars a week to pay the superior game mode after paying 20 dollars for 2 shit decks and 10 packs

No one gives a fuck about the flavor if the gameplay is good

I think they’ve done some good thinking and good work towards figuring out what a great card game looks like (sometimes in direct opposition to the current standards set by existing games)

Especially fond of the idea of not building the most competitive mode around a constructed matchmaking ladder - which does kill games and I’m glad they’ve noticed that

I agree with people criticizing the pricing structure but I think it’s deliberate (they want to construct a game like magic where cards have value and can be exchanged and traded on a marketplace - could be huge as long as they can keep fees low)

I think I am just withholding judgment on that until we see it in action and get a sense for how predatory it really is

Incorrect

See: that anime card game that nobody played

Of course it's deliberate - that's what people are criticizing.

Deliberate in the sense that they have some thinking behind it for the structure of their game - beyond just milking everybody for money

Because it was made by some no name company with minimal marketing.

Yes, again, that is what people are criticizing. They’re criticizing their thinking and the structure of their game
