| Topic | playing FFX for the first time |
| davidponte 06/04/17 12:16:26 AM #149 | Well, obviously the lore and familiarity of the characters/teams are pretty important. I love the world of FFX and the people in it. If that was all generic, I wouldn't be interested. And, while simple, the stats and ability system make it more than just "underwater soccer". If expanded on, similar to how something like Gwent was taken from The Witcher 3 and made more complex and into its own thing, I think it could be potentially interesting. Also I don't see how the prospect of "underwater soccer" is not cool in the first place! --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

| davidponte 05/30/17 4:43:49 PM #31 | I'm incredibly biased, but I think Ronaldo has more exposure than Messi. As much as "he's handsome" is a terrible indicator of fame, I think small things like that as well as stuff like what teams he's played for, and the Euro Cup getting more exposure than Copa America (atleast where I live) all add to "fame" in the sense that more people in the general audience are seeing him. It's not ranking who the better, more accomplished player is (although I think Ronaldo is better). Also yeah, Phil over Tiger is insane. --- Posted using GameFlux Get it now for Android from Google Play! |

It looks like soccer is the most represented sport on the list, which is understandable. Zero NHL players on the list, which seems kind of weird because hockey is pretty big in parts of Europe.

| davidponte 05/30/17 3:23:32 AM #70 | There's been ads for WW on the back and inside of every DC comic for the past few weeks, so the date has been ingrained into my head. That's kind of cheating though. I feel like a comic is the last place you'd need to advertise a comic book movie in, though. If you're into it enough to read new issues every week, you probably know that there's a movie coming out. It's likely free advertising, but those are spaces they could be using for other ads. --- Posted using GameFlux Get it now for Android from Google Play! |

| davidponte 05/30/17 1:55:48 AM #11 | Considering I've seen about two tag teams and ten members total from SSW, I wouldn't exactly declare it thriving either, if we're apparently basing it on numbers. Unless your willing to tell me about the dozens of other superstars who can't be half-assed to show up and "help" us, as your higher ups claim they're attempting to do. And, if that indeed is the case, then this invasion is even more half-baked than I thought. If your roster doesn't care enough to show up, why should I make any attempt to do anything other than defend my company? So which is it? Do they not exist, or do they not care? Either way, all I see is my goals furthered. --- GameFlux: Unofficial GameFAQs board browser |

| Topic | UCA MONDAY NIGHT ERUPTION! ft. King Apollo, Beat the Vote Challenge, and Chairs! |
| davidponte 05/29/17 11:59:49 PM #8 | Now, you might be asking, what does thriving have to do with SSW? Well, let's go back to the beginning: To thrive, or to flourish, to prosper, to succeed. All things that the UCA has been doing before the SSW invasion. Also things the UCA has been doing through this invasion, and things it will continue to do after this invasion. In the grand scheme of things, I am a young superstar in a old company with a storied history. But if there's anything that history has taught me, it's that the UCA is always willing to grow, to change, and to continue running on through any rough patches. SSW can think all they want that they are doing us a favour here. That they are broadening our horizons, showing us the world, and putting in a good word for us, but they aren't. The UCA has and will continue to succeed without the help of the SSW, and as Undisputed Champion, I'm here to help that happen. Tonight I have another big match against an apparent SSW superstar (who may or may not even be employed there anymore), and tonight I will once again show the world that the UCA reigns supreme when it comes to talent and champions. As the Undisputed Champion, I am the ambassador for this company, and I'll be damned if I don't do everything in my power to have us come out on top. --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

| davidponte 05/29/17 11:52:02 PM #7 | Eruption! As Undisputed Champion! It doesn't get much better, does it? You know, Sultan's words and my personal quest against the SSW have a lot in common, and they both brought out the same word when I sat there, thinking both about how to respond to him and what the next part of the story that is our upcoming match, and this feud, would be, and that word is thrive. To thrive, or to flourish, to prosper, to succeed. A word that I'll be the first to admit was overused on our adventure as Tag Team Champions, but nonetheless, a word that rang true during that time, and one that describes a lot of what is currently going on. Sultan is a great friend, and a great partner, and together, we thrived as a team, in a flourishing tag division, and we succeeded as a team, in a tag division that we helped put on the map. As a team. There's no doubt, I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the help, and the cheering on from my partner, but to insinuate that my accolades only belong to me because of my partner is, frankly, delusional. I was a Champion before Sultan and I aligned, and I will continue to be a Champion if there ever came a time where that was no longer the case. I've gone on and on over the last few weeks about my hard work, my dedication, and my readiness to take the steps I've taken to get where I am, and for Sultan to dismiss most of it with a few words must mean that he clearly has the wrong idea here. Simply Rich was as much Sultan helping David as it was David helping Sultan. Coming out of Epopmania, I was your newly minted Mr. Money in the Bank, whereas Sultan had just suffered a devastating loss. To think that the olive branch was being extended to me in that situation requires some serious mental gymnastics. A partner is there to support, through thick and thin. Sultan has supported me, and I'm thankful for that, but he is wrong. He is not the reason that I'm the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. I am. He is not the main man, who propelled me to stardom. I am. He is not leaving the ring as Undisputed Champion after our battle. I am. --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

| davidponte 05/27/17 9:36:21 PM #24 | Mayonesa posted... I know everybody says not to do this in these games, but i milled every non monster card so i could make the deck i wanted. I'm enjoying it a lot more now because every card has an actual purpose and it's easier to keep track of my counts when everything is at what i want it to be. I did that in Hearthstone and then regretted it later after I started investing into the game and building my collection, but it definitely improves the game short term. I feel like the outlines of the basic decks in this game are decent enough that almost every game feels competitive (until you get hit with those gold weather cards), so I don't feel as inclined to get an immediate upgrade. I've been doing the same thing with my monster deck as well. Either you get the effect off with the riders and set yourself up to win, or force your opponent to use valuable resources to stop it. Works pretty well. --- Brought to you by GameFlux Free GameFAQs app on Google Play! |

| davidponte 05/27/17 12:34:37 PM #22 | JetJaguar posted... How similar is it to the Gwent played in Witcher 3? I got pretty damn good at that, even intentionally using crappy cards to make it more challenging and still winning the tournament in Novigrad. The core mechanics are generally the same. It still involves playing one card a turn, getting a higher point total, and winning 2/3 rounds. Things like spies and weather effects are carried over as well, however they've altered their effects. In general, cards do more here than in the Witcher, which is the biggest difference. Almost every card does something when you play it, rather than just being a way to get your score up like in the base game. It has actually been awhile since I played the Witcher, but from what I remembered, cards had effects there as well. I guess I would say that in this version, everything is more complex. Also, you're limited to 4 gold cards in your deck, so you can't employ the same tactics as the Witcher where you played all the spies followed by all the strongest gold cards. It's definitely more balanced. --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

So after winning round one, i should just be tossing every card i don't need anymore and then passing so i go into round 3 with card advantage plus only good cards, right? It depends on what you and your opponent are playing, but in simplest terms I'd say yeah. If you win round 1, you can theoretically force your opponent to play their entire hand in round 2, and use or lose any of their combos, since they need to win it. The final round ends up coming down to who draws better, though. --- Posted using GameFlux Get it now for Android from Google Play! |

| davidponte 05/26/17 12:20:25 PM #14 | theawesomestevr posted... Played a little of this last night, and sort of started to figure out what I was doing after going in blind. Definitely had more success after switching to the Wild Hunt deck or whatever it's called (I've only tried the Nilfgaard and Northern whatever with Foltest besides that). I was having some success with a version of the Skellige starter deck that included extra copies of the cards that were initially included, but it kind of auto loses to a Nilfgaard deck that runs the unit that revives from your grave. I opened up a Ciri in a keg, so I switched over to a Wild Hunt deck that runs triple Rider and triple Hound. I can either open with the intent to win Round 1 with weather stuff, or go for a triple Rider and Ciri play and essentially auto-win Round 2. It's been pretty successful against all decks that aren't super advanced, and even then I've been able to steal some wins. --- Posted using GameFlux Get it now for Android from Google Play! |

| davidponte 05/26/17 12:13:43 PM #13 | I've only been playing it for two days, but I'm already considering uninstalling Hearthstone despite my two year investment in it. I think it's a better game overall, but mainly it's the lack of dumb RNG that I like. In HS, nearly every single game, regardless of skill level, comes down to RNG, so when you lose you feel bad because you got unlucky. Gwent is all about the skill. Yeah, you're generally going to lose against players with much better cards, but otherwise, you know why you lost every game, and understand what you could've done to potentially change it. That, combined with the better rewards (I've managed to get 3 packs both days just from the "round win" rewards) has made it a lot more enticing for me to continue to queue up. --- Brought to you by GameFlux Free GameFAQs app on Google Play! |
