So this game has been kicking my ass!! I felt I had read enough about the basics and strategy to get me by. WRONG. I played about 5 games the first 2 days and haven't played since. Although I have been doing a ton of reading the last couple of days, and I think im ready. I also didnt watch all the tutorials. Thats on my agenda to.
I just played and learnt while playing. I like that. However, now that I've played against Carl, wow, still so much to learn.
I learnt four new things that seem rather fundamental, but I didn't know them and hadn't bothered to look up.
And of course several other details about cards that had been lost on me previously. One of these days I might just win a game.
Sound quality while chatting blows me away also by the way. Completely faultless.
Things I haven't liked so far:
-Was expecting more detail wise in regards to the graphics/animations
-Games progressed to slow. Was getting bored with the animations and generic fights.
If you turn off the animations, the game gets pretty quick. This is default while playing online.
Carl, thanks again for playing. I've enjoyed your little Biolith demo, and I'm learning the value of certain cards.
I see some more deck-revising coming up ...
(Pat, thanks for reminding me to boot up Singstar again soon also, I need to check what crazy new videos are out there, and also what songs have been added.)
Secretly, this game has been my most played game so far, and it's one of those many games that just refuse to get old. I think this is one game that I'll certainly be still playing occasionally next year ... (well, that is, if I get the right kind of kid of course.
But I'm also going to work less hours, so it may all even out ... some)
