Magic 2015

You cant get bugged on details like art though. I wanted a YuGiOh like game but ended up playing Infinity Wars, its very different but awesome nonetheless. The genre is what matters, not the game. :)

Downloading infinity wars on steam now, checked it out after someone else mentioned it in this thead :)

The thing is though, as pathetic as it sounds, I do get bugged out about stuff like art. In MTG I won't play a really powerful deck if the cards have shitty art. Seriously. I try to find decks that are both powerful and look awesome. If I'm going to spend hundreds of hours looking at them, why wouldn't I want them to look cool? I make exceptions for historic/nostalgic games, but I think with ccg's there's no reason why cards shouldn't look awesome. They aren't spending money on 3d modelling and animation and all that other stuff, so I think it's reasonable to expect them to at least hire a good artist or two to design the cards :)

It's going to take ages to download as my internet is slow and the game is like 3gb. Any chance you could fill me in on how shop works and what kind of costs are involved?

I see that booster packs for Magic 2015 and Hex both cost the same amount, but you get twice as many cards in the Hex boosters and it presumably won't cost $50 for access to the main client.

Thanks for link. Parts of it seems incredibly honest and parts of it just seem like complete nonsense.

"Pay To Win means by definition that someone is able to pay for a tangible advantage in the game, which you are able to obtain quite literally every single advantage in this game for absolutely free and I assure you that there are hundreds of users in the top ranks of Infinity Wars who have never spent a dime, these are people who take full advantage of grinding and trading up.....
Pay To Win is generated when climbing the ladder of rarity also means increasing flat rates of strength and capability. A free to play game with microtransactions IS NOT pay to win, it is pay to accelerate."

That's kind of like if PoE sold weapons and orbs, but then said it's not p2w because you can grind for them, buying them only accelerates your progress, it doesn't make you a more capable player.

If I really cared about p2w I'd probably be immensly put off by that statement. As it stands, I don't care, I'm happy to spend money on games that I enjoy, so I'll see if I enjoy it and take things from there :)

It's the same way Sony Online Entertainment and other renowned companies sell their product.

I still can't get over this quote "A free to play game with microtransactions IS NOT pay to win, it is pay to accelerate". This guy should write speeches for politicians.
