@Gamer83 Personally I don't see what's supposed to be so great about it. But then again, I could say that about half the stuff that gets praised on this site. Y'all have terrible tastes, man. I'm out.

Re: Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer Bringing Deck Building to PS Vita

@keyser_soze No, you use your mana cards to "buy" cards, which you use to build a deck, which each do their own things and each have their own point values once the main point pool has been emptied (which you earn by utilizing your deck - destroying monster cards (including the infinitely respawning Heretic, which is special), playing certain cards, or by earning trophies (depending on the rules)), then the point values of each deck as well as the points earned from the pool as totalled. Whoever has the most points wins. Then all the cards go back into the main deck and you start from scratch yet again.

Re: Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer Bringing Deck Building to PS Vita

This is easily the best card game I've ever played. I don't think I'll double dip, though. Spent over $20 on the iPad version already after the expansions...

Just so everyone knows: This is a deck builder. It's less about "Pay to win" and more about resource management. To keep it short, there's a main pool of cards everyone can take from (only 7 are available at a time, including monster cards that require an attack resource, which give special rewards, except for 3 resource-related cards that are always available) and everyone starts with the same 10 cards - 8 apprentices (mana cards for gaining cards, including better mana cards) and two militia cards (for your attack). The goal is to build your deck from pool (whilst also gaining points from a point pool) and whoever has the most points + best cards (denoted by a little symbol in the corner of each card) wins the game. It's a whole different ball game from a TCG and I love it.

Also, the AI can be stupid. Unless I'm just really good. I've only played two online games and won both, so there's a possibility...

Re: Review: Tales of Xillia 2 (PlayStation 3)

I'll likely pick this up in October. However...I doubt I'll ever play it. Xillia sucked and I'll probably never finish it. It's too long a game to simply look for the cutscenes, too....which is all a shame, since it sounds like this'd be a lot better.

@Johnnycide You're right, in that "alas" is usually used when the next thing you're about to say is negative. I guess a "But that's not everything..." or something of that nature might've worked better in that context.

Re: Yakuza Zero Looks to Turn Back Time on PS4 and PS3

@Heavyman99 Atlus never had a European publishing branch until very recently, when they became a part of Sega. Don't blame them for things they couldn't prevent. If you want to be mad at anybody, be mad at Ghostlight. They published most of your Atlus/Index games, they were the ones who took forever to get them out.

Re: Review: Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition (PlayStation 4)

@rastamadeus Um...actually, yes, adding an expansion to a full game does make it more expensive. This isn't fairytale land where games get made with the wave of a magic wand. The base game still goes for $30 on the PS3. The upgrades + a full expansion certainly warrants a return to full price. Not to mention they'll be patching in new content for free later down the line.

Not saying you gotta pay it - I'm not paying full price for it, but only because I don't care about most of PS4-exclusive editions while UEE is also on PS3 for $20 less, albeit with no patch support. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have a good reason to be priced the way it is.
