Really think Red Hulk needs to be +3 to be balanced but 6/9 +4 is a good first step.

Mantis change is the one I'm most excited for. I missed her at 1 cost.

Sure but the Wii did that significantly more and you aren't voting for it

Wii literally is the flash in the pan unless you're saying a bunch of 50-60 year olds having a Wii with Wii Fit they never use anymore is actually making gaming less niche

Multiplatform development wasn't standardized until the Xbox came out.

There are dozens of games on the SNES + Genesis that would disagree with you.

Sales numbers aren't really all it's about

Sega existing was more proof of concept that the space was big enough for multiple entities. I would say they are what helped make multiplatform development a standardized thing.

Microsoft meanwhile paved the way for what is now standard modern online practices with how it implemented its storefronts and Xbox live.

I do think Atari is in the discussion for third here but I personally have it as 5th and don't think that should be as much of a hot take as it apparently is.

I guess I'm just saying I think the NES exists as it was without The Atari. Hard to be sure but I don't think a setback on a market that didn't exist yet is particularly notable either.

Arcade machines and PC games existing is all the NES really needed to exist.

I think Atari is a bit overrated in these discussions. First doesn't always really matter a lot-- Atari was the first but I feel NES was the first that really drove home the proof of concept and Atari offerings were failed experiments in expanding arcade gaming to homes as much as anything. Was it influential? Sure. More than Microsoft or even Sega? Honestly don't think so.

Replace Genesis with XBox 360

90s were important formative times for console gaming being something that wasn't super niche. There are a few rushmores that I'm like "yeah I buy it" that don't include SNES but most of those would have the PS1 so still would have 90s stuff.

Incredible

Though yes I agree "the best" is completely valid reason to Rushmore a thing.

That's the only reason I put Eleanor Rigby, as the sole good Beatles song, on the Beatles one.

I think SNES being a huge success was pretty important and underrated in terms of console gaming working out.

NES could have easily been a Flash In The Pan if it wasn't followed up with a really strong offering.

I'd include it even ignoring the console wars angle and the quality of its library.

I have a different tell on Death that I'm workshopping that did hit this game so we'll see how that develops. (I was dead but I DID track him n1)

I think stuff like the X-Men vs Avengers and the Valentines Day is where long term design needs to go but I'm not sure if those events are just for fun or being used to test proof of concept

Yea they really leaned into decks that are no fun to play against.

Yeah

This will be the doom of the game at some point I think. Cool ideas keep coming but I don't think enough consideration is being made with respect to fun for card design in general.

White widow and red hulk both being overtuned and a bit unfun to play against is making it a bit rough to play right now

I think the only real problem with the setup was the SK lowered scum killing power while it was alive and could also kill scum

It's definitely an interesting idea though and the Main reason game was a rout was IGCD getting shot and red getting caught easily. It was closer to balanced than it looked though perhaps a bit swingy

Specifically I chose SNES and Genesis because they started "the console wars" which I think is a big part of the identity of console gaming.

I probably keep SNES regardless but Genesis might replace with Wii or 360. MAYBE replace both with both but I do think SNES library being as strong as it was at the time it was matters.

DTC was very frustrating to read. Felt like I was getting next to no credit for stopping town from tearing itself apart and getting a lot of flak for being "un-fun". Guess we'll just let every game devolve into scum-winning chaos from now on, sounds much more "fun".

Dune 2 as a Puzzle game

I mean. Maybe. Kind of a waste of the license though.

This show is great. Episode 4 was the only episode I wasn't too into but it was fine filler. I got so hyped that the intro is literally beat for beat the old one more or less. Magneto is so good in this series and all the VA is on point.

Gonna watch Episode 5 tonight, luckily unspoiled thus far aside from hearing general buzz about it.

She is the best 2 drop right now I think. I guess she's countered by destroy is her only weakness.

She's a better Maximus and a better Lizard. I think at minimum they'll drop her bite to -3 eventually but we'll see.

Side note feels good not wanting cards for a few weeks. Got my keys got back up to 4 again and tokens to 6000. Feel safe.

This game is fucking annoying sometimes. I went against this deck in silver conquest. Was a very good back and forth but they ended up winning in the end. I was like huh, that was a neat deck variant I haven't come across yet, lemme check it out myself. The very next game, a gold conquest, I went up against an exact mirror match. No can ever convince me that this game doesn't have deck based matchmaking. Absurd.

Yeah

There is enough anecdotal data of completely absurd coincidences like that-- particularly on deck swaps-- that I feel it becomes statistically significant anecdote at this point.

Even if it's not intentional no doubt in my mind it's there. Mobile games have notoriously sloppy programming in general.

Kinda hyped to see Hugh Jackman Wolverine in the traditional yellow getup. Thought we'd never see it.

Nom The babe with the power (Labyrinth)

I'd probably prefer 6/9 +3 but that'd feel kinda bad to draw turn 6. Might still be fine.

I think the mechanic of seeing him coming is cool and why I think +2 is a no go. +2 is just too weak a bump to care about. I'd rather it stay +3

The mechanic is honestly fine it's just so overtuned right now

6/10 with +3 I think Red Hulk is probably balanced. Still a huge upside (would be 6/28 in your game) but because you could see it coming and the opponent controls and it depends on drawing it I think that'd still be potentially fair.

Chris

Yes

Incredible design

Dark

Funny endgame state. He floated turn 5 for Hulk + She Hulk I think and nowhere to play turn 6. But the Sunspot almost won anyway.

No Way Home lays out a scenario where it could happen that is directly built to from the previous movie in the series (Far From Home) and gives you a plausible reason why it occurs by side media (Endgame Part 2)

TROS is

No Way Home is a wacky fanservice scenario which is awesome just for being a fanservice scenario but it's also one that is very clearly is led into by MCU writing. It's not at all the same.

Not a big fan of the culture in there so I think that'd just be the end of the line for me

I am ON the discord if anyone ever wanted to reach me though

Also this game is just full of bugs lately I feel. Ive had matches where I couldnt hit End Turn despite not losing any internet connection until I closed the app and rejoined the match. Its dumb

Yeah I got that three times this morning when I was finishing weekly track up

Like it's a chicken egg situation

Was the site run into the ground by someone who had no idea what they were doing and was content to rest on the few laurels it had until the site was treated as valueless to those higher up

Or was the site treated as valueless by those higher up which made the someone unable to do anything but watch it get sold to worse and worse entities.

I feel like it's the former because this site actually had a notable web presence once upon a time and it gradually eroded away by the site doing nothing of note for years and years. You feel like it's the latter because you want to make excuses for SBAllen because he's a nice guy.

Who's to say which one of us is right. It's impossible to know for sure because we can't redo what happened

If GameFAQs is a truly well run site it's treated better by upper management that sees value in it or has different upper management entirely.

The path of GameFAQs as a brand isn't just one point where it was sold.

It's impossible to know where exactly it'd be if CJayC or someone similarly capable/driven kept running it but you can't just assume that the site is always hit by a wall where upper management is like "who cares throw it in for scraps" if the site is run well. That's not how businesses work believe it or not. Stagnation matters.

I'd basically only ever play Shanna as my last card of the game

Too many catastrophic 1 costs to flip

In an alternate reality where Google is run like trash it goes the way of AskJeeves, Lycos, and Altavista

I'm saying with a good and driven site admin we don't get "bundled with Metacritic"

Obviously SBAllen would be better than fandom and obviously he didnt directly deal in things, but mistakes and apathy had consequences for this site mattering.

Sorry! People wanted me to say it-- I got tagged!

SBAllen's incompetence is what got us sold to fandom in the first place so it all goes back to him really.
