Sweet, thanks for shilling my patch. Regarding your comment, I actually make it a point to keep my social media accounts devoid of porn/politics/controversial stuff. Glad that came through lol. I figure if someone wants to follow me, it's for my projects. They're not following me to be bombarded with annoying and unrelated political opinions.
Around the time I was in grade two I actually ate the game boy cartridge for The Sacred Cards I owned. I think that makes me the most qualified to be called the King of Games
The 15 minute turns in Master Duel made me appreciate Duel Links much more, and when I got smoked in Duel Links by people who spent a couple hundred dollars, made me appreciate the old single player games above all of them
I do miss when Konami would make YGO themed games in every genre imaginable. Remember the 5D's kart racer? I wish we could have things like a Duel Monsters themed SMT-style RPG or even a 2D fighting game. Though, I'd also be happy with a new Tag Force game.
The only thing I've read is that World Championship and Tag Force games were not profitable enough. Assuming the person who made the comment on Reddit was right
There's a world out there where we got a twinstick shooter based on the Sky Striker Ace cards, an open world action rpg series of games based on the World Legacy cards, an RTS based on the Duel Terminal series, and a first person stealth shooter based on the Spyral archetype. We do not live in that world, the world we live in is the world where the only purpose of a YGO game is to sell you digital cardboard.
I'm excited for this, I'm literally rewatching season 1 of Yu-Gi-Oh as I type this! I miss all the unique Yu-Gi-Oh games we used to get. But I can't complain about having accurate interpretations of the real life tcg either. But it would be nice to have some variety again. A few full RPGs, a couple of strategy games, maybe some new dungeon dice monster games?
Old games being so weird and unique is actually more accurate to the creator's vision, before he was forced to change what he made to suit the real game because it sold so massively.
@@lucs028 That's complete BS, though. Games haven't become expensive to make, big game companies have bloated their creation process and marketing budgets to where they're expensive to make. There's no need for multi-hundred staff teams making one game, aside from getting it out faster- and their expectations of return are obviously way off from the expenditure. Same goes for spending the same amount as they spent to overclock the development cycle all over again (or twice over, even) on marketing, either.
I miss the stories in the YuGiOh games, especially the ones where you basically play as you and play a Yugioh story like you where one of the main characters.
I miss the experimental and story telling nature of the early games. They didn't all hit the mark, but damn those games stuck with me. Like Falsebound Kingdom is a cool game, and while it's executed kind of badly, the idea of a virtual medieval world where you take over kingdoms with duel monsters is such a cool fever dream concept that makes me forgive the subpar strategy RPG gameplay. Sucks that Konami is just "money machine go brrrrrr" with their IPs now
I LOVE Dungeon Dice Monster. Even better, I always try to reset so that I can start at least with Mighty Mage as a part of my starter dice pool. As soon as I get another level 4 dice, I can get a tiny chance of unleashing its wrath against opponents, and using its special ability to attack using magic crests with a range of up to 2 spaces instead of the normal cross-shaped adjacent spaces, while doing tons of "tournaments" in order to unlock dices at the shop AND opponents IS quirky, at least you can get a fair share of drastically powered up dice monsters if you get semi-lucky (I found Relinquished on Pegasus and I can tribute it along with 10 magic crests to capture an opponent's monster for the remainder of the duel... INSANE) Also, Nice Rerez Cameo
I always forget most yugioh games give you random rolls for starter decks/pools. That's so sick. I've never used Relinquished in DDM, that's mental. 10 magic crests is nothing, that sounds way easier than rushing a Die Master. also shout outs to my boy shane from rerez and shout outs to cone army
Playing modern yugioh doesn't require a spreedsheet or copying someone else's deck, just know them so you can counter which is easier said than done and probably requires an entire college course to learn
I say that the PSP Yu-Gi-Oh GX games were peak Yu-Gi-Oh . The Story was almost non existent but enough to play the game. Its like UT99 as a card game . You play it for the sake to play it with neat and individual moments that changes up something and just the pure fun if the cardgame. The same was with the very underrated Duel masters gba games . Duel Masters was much better than Yu-Gi-Oh. FIGHT ME !!!
@@mortemincarnatam2836 only gripe i have with that game is the start, cuz my god the deck you start with and cards you get from boosters are for the most part depressingly bad. So you are forced to grind free battles till you get enough dp to complete all boosters so you can make a sensible deck. Also getting forbidden cards in booster? Fuck was that about, why give me a useless card?
I remember a Xbox 360 Yugioh game that you could edit the save file of, without having to use any physical hacks or anything. It was just using a USB stick IIRC. You could give yourself every card and then the game was really fun. If you tried to play the game as it was designed.. well.. there was DLC for that exact reason, to nickle and dime you until you had a good enough deck to lose to Black Rose Dragon.
I loved card construction mechanic from Dark Duel Stories so much. One thing I'm glad for is that Konami has decided to start printing some of those video game exclusive cards these past few years.
The goat has returned with some more high quality content! The only fun I’ve gotten out of modern Yu-Gi-Oh! Is building a dinosaur deck. It’s so caveman brained and just hit guys with big chickens. The only top tier deck that feels anything like the old school game and also doesn’t require me to have to read War and Peace every time I play a card.
Konami showcased a VR demo a couple weeks ago, and i've been dreaming of a Falsebound Kingdom 2 in that style since. Such a versatile IP, and it's just left on the shelf..
I've been fond of the yugioh GX tag force games they are duel sims but they had a format that's not really explored much nowadays also Master duel isn't THAT bad with monetization, but power creep is but that's just kinda yugioh problem these days (damn you snake eyes decks) but i legit wouldn't mind a new single player yugioh game, something that's just silly shit where you can bring your dumb pet deck in and have a laugh at the AI not reading the effect
One of the things I pushed to make Link Evolution more interesting is build decks based on release order to see how far I could get playing 2000s cards while the AI was syncho summoning. Only thing that slowed me down from completing said game is other games. Not quite 'different games' like these but it's a lot of exploration that not one else is doing and at least has flavor and difficulty.
all those yugioh GBA games were great. i remember The Scared Cards being the only one i could beat as a kid. eternal duelist was my first and favorite, but i think I only got to like,. the second round of duelers. I could barely beat the 360 game when I was a teenager. lol nvm just reminding me that I've always been absolute garbage at video games
if you want a YGO game that's fairly recent but doesn't want to eat your wallet, try Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution. it's the most recent standalone game without any form of micro transactions and includes condensed retellings of every anime up through Vrains. It's an updated port of Legacy of the Duelist, which did have some microtransactions, but they were limited to DLC. Every card you get is earned with in-game currency or dropped from opponents. Link Evo doens't have all the flashy effects Duel Links or Master Duel has nor the latest cards anymore, but it also doesn't have microtransactions, so it still comes out ahead
I'm literally playing Master Duel right now and I like the Solo Mode's lore based duel challenges, but I would love for another yugioh game with a single player storyline or non-traditional gameplay again. Legacy of the Duelist was the last major release pre-Master Duel that covered anime content but it was for all intents abandoned and the visual novel presentation isn't as immersive as Tag Force was.
Playing Legacy of the Duelist was such a bummer. It legitimately taught me how to interface and properly use all the new mechanics, and used snappy little anime blurbs to deliver it. I don't mind it, honestly. Is it exactly what I'm after? Not quite, but it's certainly a happy compromise. You're right about Tag Force though, those cutscenes, that story mode, they were great.
I've been chipping away at Forbidden Memories for a few months now, brutal game that honestly wasnt mean to be finished unless you were cheating or manipulating rng but thats what makes it feel so rewarding to actually make progress. It feels good to get close to beating something that isnt meant to be beaten and it has a strong under dog feel to it. Only need one more Meteor B Dragon to really feel consistent enough to take on the 7 boss rush at the end. While archaic its very charming and I think the fast duels cant be understated because while yes grinding sucks once you get into a good tempo you can actually crush a ton of duels in succession especially as your deck does come around from abusing ishizu and meadow mage. Meanwhile im also playing ygo world championship 2011 too right now and while the story is alot of fun, card pool is great, packs allow some good decks even early on and I love synchro summoning. The game has a built in cpu wait timer for "authenticity" meaning all cpu turns have a default 10+ seconds built in for "authenticity" when they could act instantly and it makes the game actually slog. Like damn early game duelist with 1 normal summon im sure the computer needs those 10+ seconds to act.
Yeah, as annoying as the star chip price was, it's really not the worst thing in theory. 20 duels with 5 stars nets you 100 chips, which isn't enough for any end game monsters but is more than enough for Jirai Gumo (80 star chip cost for a 2200 ATK beatstick) - which is what I always went for near the start of the game. Jirai Gumo + any boost, whether it be equips or from Forest (which is 55 star chips), can clear everything in the first half besides a very unlucky Blue Eyes from Seto Kaiba in the tournament, and for most of those duels you don't even need to boost lol. What the game really needed was a way to exchange excess cards for star chips.
god I always hated the games like Sacred Cards, the box art always looked fantastic and was the main reason I wanted it but getting it for Christmas one year and seeing it play like Dark Duelist Stories, it left a bitter taste in my mouth.
The same thing that happened to Pokemon happened to Yu-Gi-Oh. They both became more Tournament Friendly (I guess you can say) also Yu-Gi-Oh has the whole Market speculation aspect from the Collectors angle. I only know this because I dipped my toes into the Modern Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh community quite a few times in the past year.
That 5'11 to 6ft tall bit hit hard. Mainly because on my family on my dad's side of the family if you hit 6ft tall you're expected to grow some varient more. I'm the smallest of the giants but I'm a concentrated dose of giant.
i dont have a problem with the different ways to summon, link, syncro ect. i can understand how they all work they aint hard to know. what i don't like with the current format is how much summoning you can do in a single turn, hand traps and like this video said, the amount of text and rules a single card can have.
I love Falsebound it probably my fav game in the series at least spin off wise the 5ds DS games are my favorite game because well they have a story and turbo duels
GB games in general are amazing, I've been cooking a video just to gush about gameboy visuals but I'm waiting for that killer element to sell it as something worth finishing off. Of the 100s of games I've played, the Yu-Gi-Oh ones are legitimately some of the best
Wow Monster Capsule GB is the one I hope got covered in this video. Remember playing it and thought what a charming Yu-Gi-Oh game but never knew the name. If somebody is dedicated enough to make a fan translation of it, I can only assume enough people found it as charming as I am.
I still play yugioh and the recent games, but do miss the wacky earlier games and wish they were still being made. Falsebound Kingdom is a guilty pleasure that I have spent way too much time on so I would love a whole video on it and all its weirdness, including the obtuse Moisture Creature recruitment process in Kaiba’s campaign.
Despite conceptually being a 2 player game, the card game is ironically the absolute least fun with 2 players. 1 player PvE(or tag duel-PvE in the games that have it) in the videogames has that RPG quality, while 3+ players is an interessting chaos-mode. 1v1 PVP is just not good, it reeks of Pay 2 Win-powercreep. Like legit, even Duel Links becomes a lot more fun if you just ignore PVP outside of the events that demand it, and that game is absolute Dreck if you want to keep up with the PVP and have to whale on those micro transactions. I never played Master Duel, but I can practically already see before my eyes that the experience would suck because it is a primarily 1v1 PvP plattform and as I said, that is when the experience is at an all-time low.
Sacred cards had a kind of steep learning curve but once you were over it it was amazing. Come to think of it, most yugioh games were like that. Dungeon dice monsters, forbidden memories, and of course, the absolute peak that was Duelists of the Roses. man, everything started going downhill after that one. by the way, Konami annouced a couple of weeks ago that they were gonna start launching yugioh classic game collections, the first one will be GBC games iirc, but there's no launch date yet. I'm looking forward to it.
I rented Falsebound Kingdom back in the day, since the store didnt had many gamecube games, and I ended up playing them all. Strangely I only remember having several headaches playing it because of the visual effects of the attacks. Another strategy game on the NGC that is barely mentioned online is Gladius. It is decent.
Yes, someone else who appreciates the older games. I, too, prefer having a campaign in which I can slowly improve my deck while working with what I get and still being able to win versus being thrown head first into a pvp where everyone else is already better than me and I have to pay money. It's why I've not even bothered with Master Duel yet.
I don't like Yu-gi-oh the card game for most part, but a the same time i love some Yu-gi-oh games, especialy the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship games. The amount of content these games have put in to a shame any other offline card game ever.
Thanks to the recent Yu-Gi-Oh abridged episode I was reminded about puppyshipping. Dammit Casp you've reminded me again. Still, damn straight there were some banger Yu-Gi-Oh games back in the day. Janky but absolute fun.
I have been playing Reshef with a patch to remove the board scan and a code to max duelist level. You still need to grind for capacity but being able to throw in more expensive at the start helps a lot with that. I would also recommend trying falsebound kingdom with a randomiser
I think the main issue with the modern games is what you mentioned.. they dont feel like games.. they feel like internet clients for playing the game as opposed to tailored game experiences
I still got my copies of Forbidden Memories, Duelist of Roses, Capsule Monsters, and Kingdom. Might replay one or two soon, just gotta finish Skies of Arcadia first.
I played a different GX one the one you walk around the academy, you could go to the forest to duel Jinzo. Shit was impossible, in the mandatory 2v2 duels your AI partner would throw the game every time. And it HAD dating.
I really enjoyed Dungeon Dice Monsters and Forbidden Memories during my childhood. They were jank as fuck with weird rulesets but they each had unique charm to them. I actually returned to Yugioh with Master Duel as well, the new rules confused me at first but I managed to work my way through two decades of updates and meta changes and I had some fun with it. Many of the cards added over the years are objectively canceraids however and really hamper the fun of the game but don't tell the metaslaves I said that or they'll start foaming at the mouth. What made me stop playing Master Duel again was not the rules or cards themselves but the predatory monetization, you can get screwed way too hard to on card pulls. Based pitslut enjoyer.
"sure you won, but you didnt design the deck" Yeah but thats kind of every competitive TCG. Even the early OCG years had copy pasted "Good Stuff" decks
I used to play Magic on a level way above my casual yoog appreciation and there was definitely some of that in there too. This goes out to all those cowards too weak to build their own destiny. Come at me with my suboptimal angel token deck bro
You can spend the time understanding the game better. I get the reading portion is annoying but you have to go over that hurdle. Your not forced to do meta, you are allowed to do whatever u want.
The problem with YGO is that the competitive scene took over EVERYTHING and all the meta decks are 5 variations of the same damn thing. Also the anime teaches you jackshit of the card game. Cardfight Vanguard can actually teach you the game, is enjoyable to watch, and less expensive to get into. I built an Eradicator deck and it came out to about 200 bucks, mind you this is for Premium format (legacy). If you want a taste of Standard format, give the Dear Days demo a play.
@@Caspicum My bad. Usually when people do make lists like this, they’ve beaten the games or have at least known about what they have inside them. Kingdom is probably my favorite “old” Yugioh game as it was so far from the norm at the time. It’s a shame it was review bombed.
GBA Yu-Gi-Oh games were my favorites particularly Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel and Dungeon Dice Monsters. Konami should get their shit together and make a Persona-like title with Atlus or a AR one like Pokemon GO.
I loved DDM. But The GX world championship 2003 I think without story and the one where you are a student and do tests really are the best Yu Gi Oh games. The roses thing and Reshef was too bs for me but I loved them
I had a small part on it in the original script, but I don't feel like I did justice to the games, and decided to scrap that section entirely. They're visually stunning, some of the best-looking games on the system, even though they're just card games.
Already BASED by the title alone! Hands down! I had so many good memories playing Stairways to the Destined Duel, Sacred Cards 5DS Stardust Accelerator and Duelist of the Roses as a kid! Now I can say 5Ds series on DS and TAG FORCE for PSP were PEAK! Single-Player Yugioh games Save me! 😩SAVE ME single-player Yugioh games! Honestly I love the card game but I don't want to touch the Real Life competitive PVP in 5 Meters! Which has become Power/feature creep solitaire! Even with playing through ARC-V Tag Force Special you can feel the powercreep in each Generation 9:14 I recommend playing it with the "Tolerable Reshef of Destruction" patch that rebalances, optimizes the duel speed and gives you more options!
I started playing when the Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon booster was released in the EU and I have to say that I really liked Duel Links when it was released, since it didn't feel that powergame-y to me (they started you with an absolute shit deck and at the beginning DL featured mostly older cards afaik), also Forbidden Memory was my (and my brothers') LIFE for quite a while man
There was *kinda* one, but not really. 7 Trials to Glory had the world map like those games, but more of the World Championship systems for duels. It's not as good, but if you're desperate for a similar experience, it's kinda there.
I wish they'd rerelase the non card game titles in a compliation, some felt like they were one ai rework mod from being great that it would proberly help dungeon dice and capsule monsters get revived, surprised you didn't talk about destiny board or culdcept (which is kind of like that meets the card game) also joey the passion sounds like a yugioh doujin made by mel gibson.
I'm sure you already know this, but the scoring system is viewable by pressing the start button during the battle. There a few other actions or situations that increase the score. But again I'm pretty sure you didn't go over this since it's a bit of a quick fire video, and retention with those sort of semantics wouldn't improve with it in there. Great video though
I honestly just want the PS2 Tagforce or last psp Tagforce game on Steam with a couple of new cards and I'd be set. No need for any other YGO game ever.
Not that it's entirely in the same vein as the older games as it just lets you play the show's battles, but Legacy Of The Duelist: Link Evolution isn't a chinese psyop designed to destroy your wallet
1:47 and that idea gave rise to one of my favorite insults of the 2010s on decade duels plus back on the 360, "net decker". To some people, that was the equivalent of a certain other word starting with that letter.
Master duel is pretty f2p friendly, in fact I've wanted to give them money, but you don't get enough gems for the money you'd spend where it's not worth it, so I'd call it super whale unfriendly

I don't mind it, honestly. Is it exactly what I'm after? Not quite, but it's certainly a happy compromise. You're right about Tag Force though, those cutscenes, that story mode, they were great.
I've been chipping away at Forbidden Memories for a few months now, brutal game that honestly wasnt mean to be finished unless you were cheating or manipulating rng but thats what makes it feel so rewarding to actually make progress. It feels good to get close to beating something that isnt meant to be beaten and it has a strong under dog feel to it. Only need one more Meteor B Dragon to really feel consistent enough to take on the 7 boss rush at the end.
While archaic its very charming and I think the fast duels cant be understated because while yes grinding sucks once you get into a good tempo you can actually crush a ton of duels in succession especially as your deck does come around from abusing ishizu and meadow mage.
Meanwhile im also playing ygo world championship 2011 too right now and while the story is alot of fun, card pool is great, packs allow some good decks even early on and I love synchro summoning. The game has a built in cpu wait timer for "authenticity" meaning all cpu turns have a default 10+ seconds built in for "authenticity" when they could act instantly and it makes the game actually slog. Like damn early game duelist with 1 normal summon im sure the computer needs those 10+ seconds to act.
Yeah, as annoying as the star chip price was, it's really not the worst thing in theory. 20 duels with 5 stars nets you 100 chips, which isn't enough for any end game monsters but is more than enough for Jirai Gumo (80 star chip cost for a 2200 ATK beatstick) - which is what I always went for near the start of the game. Jirai Gumo + any boost, whether it be equips or from Forest (which is 55 star chips), can clear everything in the first half besides a very unlucky Blue Eyes from Seto Kaiba in the tournament, and for most of those duels you don't even need to boost lol.
What the game really needed was a way to exchange excess cards for star chips.
god I always hated the games like Sacred Cards, the box art always looked fantastic and was the main reason I wanted it but getting it for Christmas one year and seeing it play like Dark Duelist Stories, it left a bitter taste in my mouth.
The same thing that happened to Pokemon happened to Yu-Gi-Oh. They both became more Tournament Friendly (I guess you can say) also Yu-Gi-Oh has the whole Market speculation aspect from the Collectors angle. I only know this because I dipped my toes into the Modern Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh community quite a few times in the past year.
The secondary market for Yugioh is abysmal. I shouldn't have to pay hundreds of dollars for a shiny piece of cardboard I like.
That 5'11 to 6ft tall bit hit hard. Mainly because on my family on my dad's side of the family if you hit 6ft tall you're expected to grow some varient more. I'm the smallest of the giants but I'm a concentrated dose of giant.
i dont have a problem with the different ways to summon, link, syncro ect. i can understand how they all work they aint hard to know. what i don't like with the current format is how much summoning you can do in a single turn, hand traps and like this video said, the amount of text and rules a single card can have.
The dungeon dice game was super fun
I was addicted to it for a while
the games for the DSi were amazing, highly recomend them for people who miss old yugioh, but also want to adhere to the irl rules.
I love Falsebound it probably my fav game in the series at least spin off wise the 5ds DS games are my favorite game because well they have a story and turbo duels
I love the aesthetic of the GB games. Dark Duel Stories has some of the best card sprites in the series
GB games in general are amazing, I've been cooking a video just to gush about gameboy visuals but I'm waiting for that killer element to sell it as something worth finishing off. Of the 100s of games I've played, the Yu-Gi-Oh ones are legitimately some of the best
2:40
FUCK YES, IT'S DIG BEAKKKKKK!!!
"Allusions to Africa" sounds like a genuine (sub)title of a Yu-GI-Oh game.
Great video for my post-work-meal. Gratitude.
Wow Monster Capsule GB is the one I hope got covered in this video. Remember playing it and thought what a charming Yu-Gi-Oh game but never knew the name.
If somebody is dedicated enough to make a fan translation of it, I can only assume enough people found it as charming as I am.
i wanted to cover it in some way, and I felt this kinda justified it. It's such a sick little game.
Yu-Gi-Oh! The eternal duelist soul was my first exposure to it and I love the physical game and digital games sooo much lol.
I still play yugioh and the recent games, but do miss the wacky earlier games and wish they were still being made. Falsebound Kingdom is a guilty pleasure that I have spent way too much time on so I would love a whole video on it and all its weirdness, including the obtuse Moisture Creature recruitment process in Kaiba’s campaign.
This is the exact content I needed
Oooooo Casposs the lord himself has blessed the AUS souls once again
Can't lie Galataea is the love of my life, shuffle one back set an omni 😅
My absolute favorite Yugioh games were Eternal Duelist Soul and Nightmare Troubadour. Excellent games.
Despite conceptually being a 2 player game, the card game is ironically the absolute least fun with 2 players. 1 player PvE(or tag duel-PvE in the games that have it) in the videogames has that RPG quality, while 3+ players is an interessting chaos-mode. 1v1 PVP is just not good, it reeks of Pay 2 Win-powercreep. Like legit, even Duel Links becomes a lot more fun if you just ignore PVP outside of the events that demand it, and that game is absolute Dreck if you want to keep up with the PVP and have to whale on those micro transactions.
I never played Master Duel, but I can practically already see before my eyes that the experience would suck because it is a primarily 1v1 PvP plattform and as I said, that is when the experience is at an all-time low.
I've seen some videos on a fan format called Domain Format, which used 4 player pods for dueling. Maybe see if that is up your alley.
See title, must be inept yugiboomer
-Not even 1 minute into video points at design to cover his adhd
hey bucko i play real card games like hearthstone
Sacred cards had a kind of steep learning curve but once you were over it it was amazing. Come to think of it, most yugioh games were like that. Dungeon dice monsters, forbidden memories, and of course, the absolute peak that was Duelists of the Roses. man, everything started going downhill after that one.
by the way, Konami annouced a couple of weeks ago that they were gonna start launching yugioh classic game collections, the first one will be GBC games iirc, but there's no launch date yet. I'm looking forward to it.
I rented Falsebound Kingdom back in the day, since the store didnt had many gamecube games, and I ended up playing them all. Strangely I only remember having several headaches playing it because of the visual effects of the attacks. Another strategy game on the NGC that is barely mentioned online is Gladius. It is decent.
Yes, someone else who appreciates the older games. I, too, prefer having a campaign in which I can slowly improve my deck while working with what I get and still being able to win versus being thrown head first into a pvp where everyone else is already better than me and I have to pay money. It's why I've not even bothered with Master Duel yet.
You don't have to spend a single dime on Master Duel.
I know I haven't :^)
I don't like Yu-gi-oh the card game for most part, but a the same time i love some Yu-gi-oh games, especialy the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship games.
The amount of content these games have put in to a shame any other offline card game ever.
Ssseth puts out a new video then Casp comes along the next day, what a week for content.
Conspiracy? Anything is possible.
@@Caspicum then hours later Jason Graves released a new video as well. Things are starting to look suspicious...
my favorite youtuber returns
sseth did upload yesterday right?
Awesome video, see you again in 6 months!
maybe 7!
Thanks to the recent Yu-Gi-Oh abridged episode I was reminded about puppyshipping.
Dammit Casp you've reminded me again.
Still, damn straight there were some banger Yu-Gi-Oh games back in the day. Janky but absolute fun.
idk what that is, and I'm gonna keep my fingers in my ears
@@Caspicum Dunno Casp as a Kaiba fan this sorta thing might be up your street
I have been playing Reshef with a patch to remove the board scan and a code to max duelist level. You still need to grind for capacity but being able to throw in more expensive at the start helps a lot with that.
I would also recommend trying falsebound kingdom with a randomiser
I'm gonna try both of those things ty ty
I would recommend:
Yu-Gi-Oh GX Spirit Caller.
It follows the first season of the anime pretty closely.
I think the main issue with the modern games is what you mentioned.. they dont feel like games.. they feel like internet clients for playing the game as opposed to tailored game experiences
i live with an asian girl and recently returned from the phillipines and im still not Asian enough so i feel your pain casp
I still got my copies of Forbidden Memories, Duelist of Roses, Capsule Monsters, and Kingdom.
Might replay one or two soon, just gotta finish Skies of Arcadia first.
I played a different GX one the one you walk around the academy, you could go to the forest to duel Jinzo. Shit was impossible, in the mandatory 2v2 duels your AI partner would throw the game every time. And it HAD dating.
Less zane more axel for a 1500 dollar meta deck god we are back in the dad upperdeck days
I really enjoyed Dungeon Dice Monsters and Forbidden Memories during my childhood. They were jank as fuck with weird rulesets but they each had unique charm to them.
I actually returned to Yugioh with Master Duel as well, the new rules confused me at first but I managed to work my way through two decades of updates and meta changes and I had some fun with it. Many of the cards added over the years are objectively canceraids however and really hamper the fun of the game but don't tell the metaslaves I said that or they'll start foaming at the mouth. What made me stop playing Master Duel again was not the rules or cards themselves but the predatory monetization, you can get screwed way too hard to on card pulls.
Based pitslut enjoyer.
I hope we get a YGO rpg now that Konami is making games again
"sure you won, but you didnt design the deck"
Yeah but thats kind of every competitive TCG. Even the early OCG years had copy pasted "Good Stuff" decks
I used to play Magic on a level way above my casual yoog appreciation and there was definitely some of that in there too. This goes out to all those cowards too weak to build their own destiny. Come at me with my suboptimal angel token deck bro
That's how she became the Yugi 😊
You can spend the time understanding the game better. I get the reading portion is annoying but you have to go over that hurdle. Your not forced to do meta, you are allowed to do whatever u want.
I still can't believe there's an original Xbox exclusive Yugioh game
The problem with YGO is that the competitive scene took over EVERYTHING and all the meta decks are 5 variations of the same damn thing. Also the anime teaches you jackshit of the card game.
Cardfight Vanguard can actually teach you the game, is enjoyable to watch, and less expensive to get into. I built an Eradicator deck and it came out to about 200 bucks, mind you this is for Premium format (legacy). If you want a taste of Standard format, give the Dear Days demo a play.
Falsebound Kingdom has 3 Stories. Joey is unlocked when you beat the other two. He is not nearly as long though with only 9 battles.
Damn bro I didn't get that far in, I wanted to save it for a full playthrough. Now that I know my boy Joey is in it, it's go time.
@@Caspicum My bad. Usually when people do make lists like this, they’ve beaten the games or have at least known about what they have inside them. Kingdom is probably my favorite “old” Yugioh game as it was so far from the norm at the time. It’s a shame it was review bombed.
- save ugly soyjak (and scream like one), from your 3 points
lack of creativity to discover your way into refined deck
GBA Yu-Gi-Oh games were my favorites particularly Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel and Dungeon Dice Monsters.
Konami should get their shit together and make a Persona-like title with Atlus or a AR one like Pokemon GO.
kino just dropped
10:34 THE SEARCH HISTORY IS WILD
I loved DDM. But The GX world championship 2003 I think without story and the one where you are a student and do tests really are the best Yu Gi Oh games. The roses thing and Reshef was too bs for me but I loved them
My wife enjoyed you naming yourself pooper.
Someone's gotta be the guy with the names
Kinda surprised you didn't mention tag-force for the psp, since it's the one yugioh series where you can actually romance the female characters.
I had a small part on it in the original script, but I don't feel like I did justice to the games, and decided to scrap that section entirely. They're visually stunning, some of the best-looking games on the system, even though they're just card games.
I miss games with a story like Spirit Caller or Tag Force.
Already BASED by the title alone! Hands down!
I had so many good memories playing Stairways to the Destined Duel, Sacred Cards 5DS Stardust Accelerator and Duelist of the Roses as a kid!
Now I can say 5Ds series on DS and TAG FORCE for PSP were PEAK!
Single-Player Yugioh games Save me! 😩SAVE ME single-player Yugioh games!
Honestly I love the card game but I don't want to touch the Real Life competitive PVP in 5 Meters!
Which has become Power/feature creep solitaire!
Even with playing through ARC-V Tag Force Special you can feel the powercreep in each Generation
9:14 I recommend playing it with the "Tolerable Reshef of Destruction" patch that rebalances, optimizes the duel speed and gives you more options!
I'm all over that patch, thanks for the recommendation!
I started playing when the Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon booster was released in the EU and I have to say that I really liked Duel Links when it was released, since it didn't feel that powergame-y to me (they started you with an absolute shit deck and at the beginning DL featured mostly older cards afaik), also Forbidden Memory was my (and my brothers') LIFE for quite a while man
I mean, you get enough stuff in the first literally 15 minutes of Master Duel to build any deck you want, but go off I suppose.
Found the addict :^)
@@Caspicum na I don't play, I just know it's better than the rest
I just want another world championship game or tag force. Need to team up with my waifu Wisteria again.
I want a 3rd Yugioh RPG game like Sacred Cards and Reshef of Destruction
There was *kinda* one, but not really. 7 Trials to Glory had the world map like those games, but more of the World Championship systems for duels. It's not as good, but if you're desperate for a similar experience, it's kinda there.
@@Caspicum
That wasn’t the same
I wish they'd rerelase the non card game titles in a compliation, some felt like they were one ai rework mod from being great that it would proberly help dungeon dice and capsule monsters get revived, surprised you didn't talk about destiny board or culdcept (which is kind of like that meets the card game) also joey the passion sounds like a yugioh doujin made by mel gibson.
I'm sure you already know this, but the scoring system is viewable by pressing the start button during the battle. There a few other actions or situations that increase the score. But again I'm pretty sure you didn't go over this since it's a bit of a quick fire video, and retention with those sort of semantics wouldn't improve with it in there. Great video though
I honestly just want the PS2 Tagforce or last psp Tagforce game on Steam with a couple of new cards and I'd be set. No need for any other YGO game ever.
REREZ SWEARING JUMPSCARE
Not that it's entirely in the same vein as the older games as it just lets you play the show's battles, but Legacy Of The Duelist: Link Evolution isn't a chinese psyop designed to destroy your wallet
1:36 I regret reading all of that
those mr beast allegations were wild
1:47 and that idea gave rise to one of my favorite insults of the 2010s on decade duels plus back on the 360, "net decker". To some people, that was the equivalent of a certain other word starting with that letter.
I swear I've heard that term before but I was definitely not playing a 360 game. Maybe it was used in other places? Amazing term
Master duel is pretty f2p friendly, in fact I've wanted to give them money, but you don't get enough gems for the money you'd spend where it's not worth it, so I'd call it super whale unfriendly
I got a rice hat but I was told it was offensive so now I can't even larp
