Magic: The Gathering - Tactics


That looks pretty perfect, I'll look it up, hopefully PSN has a demo up.

Eye of Judgement looked really good as well, but the field seems way too small in comparison to the few other strategy card games I've played. I'll probably pick it up if I ever find it for a low price.


I imagine the game isn't expensive, especially if you already have a PSEye, but it looks like the booster packs are expensive, starting at $9.99 a pack and going up to about $16.50.  Both of those prices are pretty insanely high for a booster pack, boosters should be about $3-5 a pack depending on the game.  You would be paying at a minimum double for a high end booster pack which I doubt Eye of Judgment is.

You might be able to do better if you bought singles but even that would get expensive.

If you already have the standard deck that comes with the game, do you have to keep buying new cards? Could I actually complete a campaign with that deck?

I already have a PS Eye.

I'm looking to buy the bundle http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=60792



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Probably sits outside your range, but if you have a Wii you could pick up Phantasy Star Online Episode III: CARD Revolution. Actually a GameCube game, but it was a neat card-based game in its time (online at one point, but those servers are long gone and the only thing Wii can't do in terms of GC backwards compatibility is emulate online anyway)

So is it anything like this game? Are they all online only?

You can play with the cards you're given...but you're not given much of a variety and you're not likely to get actual good cards. Like any starter deck for any CCG, it's not that good.  It will get you through the first few games but if you want to get anywhere or actually compete against the AI or people, you have to supplement it with something.

The thing about any CCG or card game, they're about obtaining and using cards.  With Eye of Judgment and Magic Online, you have to actually buy more cards.  With Magic Online you can at least get cards and boosters cheap and even win prizes but Eye of Judgment cards are going to cost you money and you don't really get anything back.

Of all the things I listed at least, I would say Eye of Judgment is the worst choice.  The game isn't that good (the mechanics are so-so and you get to a point where the person that goes first wins), it's going to cost you money to build up your deck, and I have no idea if people even still play it online.

there is also Magic The Gathering Tactics on PSN which is the closest to Duelist of the Roses out of the three

 


That looks kind of neat, though I'm not sure if that's what he's looking for.  That kind of looks like a mix between Dungeons and Dragons and Magic: the Gathering Battlemage (PS1 game).  Since I like both of those games I might check that out when I see a demo.

Thanks, I'll probably keep away from Eye of Judgement, it seems like it's more trouble than it's worth.

PSO Episode III (as well as Ep I & II GC version) dates from a gentler, more naive time, when MMOs allowed users to keep their game saves on their own memory cards, which meant you could hack it silly as long as you didn't acquire weapons or cards that were event-only and had never been released, but Episode III hosted a fairly robust offline mode, a story of two opposing factions who fought using different methods (Hunters whose cards could be equipped as weapons and armor to their own bodies, and Arkz who could not equip weapons, but could summon monsters). Also had local multiplayer that you could abuse for EXP purposes



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

And yup, Duels of the Planeswalkers is still as bad as I remember it.  For grins and giggles I decided to unlock a few full decks.

1. They're still awful
2. I still can't take out the bad cards they start you with
3. The 2.5 second timer is still there, though it looks like I can choose not to wait when I have priority.
4. The game decides everything for you, like how damage is dealt when multiple creatures block. That sucks because the game doesn't know my strategy, also because...
5. The AI is still laughably bad.  The AI decided to Mind Rot me (discard two cards) when I had no cards in my hand...

It is, I got it. But they have a PSP version that you don't have to buy cards for and it has a story/campaign mode.

Duelist of the Roses was kinda similar to this, thats what he was looking for.
