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
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
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 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
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 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?

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
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
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.
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.
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.
Old man yells at getting old. Modern yugioh is fine its not even hard to learn. The older games are fine its really just big monster why meteor b dragon makes forbidden memory a breeze. its the only way to hamper the games so you dont just beat them in 2 seconds.
Me getting old is unrelated to yugioh being garb now ngl. Also you're doing the same thing that I hate, I don't wanna just spam ez win strats, I want to struggle through an authentic experience without guides and extreme knowledge. Figure out combos for myself, sus out my opponent's deck, and achieve a victory. Anyone can look up how to win at anything, but doing it yourself feels 100x better.
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
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.
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 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.
there are bad players who use meta decks as a crutch, but 10 times out of 10, a person who's open to using meta relevant strats is a better player than one who isn't. assuming they're all being unoriginal and avoiding experimentation is simply an uneducated perspective.
"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
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'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 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
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.
You can absolutely play on a high competitive level on Master Duel for free. Duel Links locks cards behind decks you can only buy with real money, but absolutely everything in Master Duel is obtainable without spending a dime. It's very odd to admit to being unfamiliar with the current state of the Yugioh card game, then dismissing the modern Yugioh card game simulator as a game only enjoyable for Chinese whales. Very disappointing that your opinion continues to be as misinformed as it was the last time you mentioned Master Duel.
As an autist who regularly plays Master Duel despite my better judgement, this is true, but ya gotta take Casp less seriously. It's just a bit of banter, nuthin' too crazy.
@FakeHeroFang Calling it a game only for Chinese whales is banter but everything else is his real, ignorant opinion. Especially since it's not the first time he's mentioned the exact same opinion. It's just a coping mechanism for yugioh boomers who can't even be bothered to try learn new mechanics enjoyed primarily by Japanese school children. There's tons of problems of modern Yugioh but the f2p card game simulator is not one of them. Why doesn't he play Legacy of the Duelist which was the last standalone game before Duel Links and Master Duel with its 80 dollars worth of DLC for a couple more pngs to play with. Give me a break.
I also dislike Legacy of the Duelist, my comment was directed toward pretty much every yugioh game after like... idk 2008? FakeHero is right though, I'm just shit-talking to lead into the actual topic. Ideally, I'd have a game where they do new and interesting things, but people want Duel Monsters again, and that's just how it is. Also, you might not need to spend money, but it's heavily encouraged and incentivised, I make the same criticisms of games I actually enjoy, like DMC5 with the ability to buy progress. That said, freemium games are designed in specific ways to delay or gate content so that people get antsy and pay for it, I think of games like the new Assassin's Creed where everything is level-gated, and so you either pay in time, or money, and time *is* money, so you're paying regardless. They've got entire departments that work on this stuff to exploit consumer psychology, because they know piggies pay. I want a journey and an experience from a game. Master Duel and those like it are an interface to play a digital card game with a store slapped on. Fine for those who want it, but surely you can realise how stupid they look to someone who doesn't want what they're offering.
The card game should be like the first season of yugioh but they made it super easy ans boring. This is why forbidden memories ans roses are my favorites, both are alittle off on the tv show but it captures the magic.
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.
Honestly, Yugioh games were always bad. They were overly difficult to hide the fact that they had almost no content. The graphics were terrible, the dialogue was full of mistranslated "Engrish" and they were ridiculously buggy. The new ones are the same, but with even less effort and creativity. The sad truth is that we never got a yugioh game that wasn't a lazy cash grab
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.
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.
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
Yeah, Yugioh games aren't really video games anymore. Master Duel is just a sim, and Legacy of the Duelist has zero production value, it's like they put in the minumum effort possible to make a functional sim with anime duels tacked on for the boomers. With modern day Konami at the helm, I really doubt they'll be releasing anything unique or experimental anytime soon. No reason to make niche RPGs when you can print waifu bait onto cardboard and sell it 3 times (physical, Duel Links, Master Duel)
It might! Once I realised how potentially good it was, I stopped playing pretty early on because I'm legit considering an entire video jerking off Ogre Battle and using Yugioh to do it
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.
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.
This video is your boomer moment. "bAcK iN mY dAy" Welcome to the club old man. When are you buying a motorcycle and traveling the Balkans like other boomer Aussies?
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 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.
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'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.
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!
You are probably the first person I saw saying that Falsebound Kingdom is a good game lmao. It's a pretty shallow, slow and a rather mediocre "strategy" game imo. JRPGs are, for the most part, already very simple and easy games and the turn-based JRPG combat from this game manages to be even more basic. Heck, maybe even some bland JRPGs from the NES era have more going on than this game. You basically just attack, get attacked and maybe, later on, use special abilities too when you unlock some. Then you wait your squads to get to wherever you need them to go at snail's pace lol. It has nice ideas, but they are executed so unbeliavable badly... A shame really.
On a surface level it seems to ape my beloved Ogre Battle enough to be noteworthy, but I did confess in that part, idk if it's actually good, or if I just love OB so much that it seems good by proxy. Gonna give it a real proper play at some point soon, I think there's something there.
as much as i love joey the passion, its unplayable unless you use a cheat to have every card at the start. the game doesnt stop giving you duplicates even if you already have 3 copies of the card
Casp, Casp, Casp UA-cam isn't an american site and you have Asian or Chinese fans too, you know. Tone down the asian joke a little, it's funny when it wasn't overused
I just enjoy Duel Links by not keeping up with the meta at all and i just play in the lower ranks or against my friend's with my good old Elemental Hero's deck
The anime? Videogame spin-offs? Pfft, I was way cooler than all of you and read the original manga. The one where Yami Yugi is a serial killer, who concocts increasingly sociopathic puzzle games to commit his murders, and Dual Monsters was supposed to have been a one-off story gimmick before Kazuki Takahashi decided it was easier and more profitable to just make it the entire plot.
The manga equivalent of season zero is definitely the best part of YGO from a quality/storytelling perspective. It feels a little bit like an alternate reality JoJo where you're not allowed to punch or directly fight, but you can kill someone so long as it's in the context of a "game." My favorite parts of the manga were the Tazer game and the weird chinese dragon card game thing.
I read the manga a few years back, and outside of the heavier parts of the Egypt narrative toward the end, the part where Yugi just bullies and mind-breaks dudes is legit the best.
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
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 try to keep myself fairly unreachable outside of UA-cam. It's nothing against anyone, I just don't want people to document my foot lust and use it against me, you know?
The context is they're Konami. :^) I'll release the full unedited version at 18 bajillion likes, but it's still public on his twitter, I think it's called Dear Konami or something.
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.
At least you dont have to pay to win in the old games. Well, i guess you dont really have to pay to win in Duel Links. You still can get good cards wasting days in boring events instead of money. But in the old games you also had to waste days grinding for good cards .. why i am playing this again ?
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 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 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.
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.

Old man yells at getting old. Modern yugioh is fine its not even hard to learn. The older games are fine its really just big monster why meteor b dragon makes forbidden memory a breeze. its the only way to hamper the games so you dont just beat them in 2 seconds.
Me getting old is unrelated to yugioh being garb now ngl. Also you're doing the same thing that I hate, I don't wanna just spam ez win strats, I want to struggle through an authentic experience without guides and extreme knowledge. Figure out combos for myself, sus out my opponent's deck, and achieve a victory. Anyone can look up how to win at anything, but doing it yourself feels 100x better.
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 remember being confused as all hell playing Dungeon Dice when i was a kid... Primarily because one of the opponents was Yugi's Mother

Just discovered your channel and am loving the content. Hope you keep it up and all is going well with you.
I appreciate it! I'll never stop, but I will definitely slow. Hope all is going well with you, too, my friend.
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
I absolutely love Falsebound Kingdom,a video about would be awesome! Also there is a randomizer and a Kaizo Style Romhack for the game out there.
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.
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 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.
there are bad players who use meta decks as a crutch, but 10 times out of 10, a person who's open to using meta relevant strats is a better player than one who isn't. assuming they're all being unoriginal and avoiding experimentation is simply an uneducated perspective.
shut up nerd
deckcuck identified
"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
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 loved falsebound kingdom, i cant wait for your rantview on it
Me either, but now that I'm balls-deep in Unicorn Overlord, I might not feel as generous as when I wrote this video.
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.
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 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
Funny you say that about GX cause thats literally the main protag's big gripe. "Why do I have to take a test if I can beat everyone here?!"
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.
This is the exact content I needed
I would recommend:
Yu-Gi-Oh GX Spirit Caller.
It follows the first season of the anime pretty closely.
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
You can absolutely play on a high competitive level on Master Duel for free. Duel Links locks cards behind decks you can only buy with real money, but absolutely everything in Master Duel is obtainable without spending a dime.
It's very odd to admit to being unfamiliar with the current state of the Yugioh card game, then dismissing the modern Yugioh card game simulator as a game only enjoyable for Chinese whales.
Very disappointing that your opinion continues to be as misinformed as it was the last time you mentioned Master Duel.
As an autist who regularly plays Master Duel despite my better judgement, this is true, but ya gotta take Casp less seriously. It's just a bit of banter, nuthin' too crazy.
@FakeHeroFang Calling it a game only for Chinese whales is banter but everything else is his real, ignorant opinion. Especially since it's not the first time he's mentioned the exact same opinion. It's just a coping mechanism for yugioh boomers who can't even be bothered to try learn new mechanics enjoyed primarily by Japanese school children.
There's tons of problems of modern Yugioh but the f2p card game simulator is not one of them. Why doesn't he play Legacy of the Duelist which was the last standalone game before Duel Links and Master Duel with its 80 dollars worth of DLC for a couple more pngs to play with. Give me a break.
I also dislike Legacy of the Duelist, my comment was directed toward pretty much every yugioh game after like... idk 2008? FakeHero is right though, I'm just shit-talking to lead into the actual topic. Ideally, I'd have a game where they do new and interesting things, but people want Duel Monsters again, and that's just how it is.
Also, you might not need to spend money, but it's heavily encouraged and incentivised, I make the same criticisms of games I actually enjoy, like DMC5 with the ability to buy progress.
That said, freemium games are designed in specific ways to delay or gate content so that people get antsy and pay for it, I think of games like the new Assassin's Creed where everything is level-gated, and so you either pay in time, or money, and time *is* money, so you're paying regardless. They've got entire departments that work on this stuff to exploit consumer psychology, because they know piggies pay.
I want a journey and an experience from a game. Master Duel and those like it are an interface to play a digital card game with a store slapped on. Fine for those who want it, but surely you can realise how stupid they look to someone who doesn't want what they're offering.
skill issue
The card game should be like the first season of yugioh but they made it super easy ans boring.
This is why forbidden memories ans roses are my favorites, both are alittle off on the tv show but it captures the magic.
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.
Honestly, Yugioh games were always bad. They were overly difficult to hide the fact that they had almost no content. The graphics were terrible, the dialogue was full of mistranslated "Engrish" and they were ridiculously buggy. The new ones are the same, but with even less effort and creativity.
The sad truth is that we never got a yugioh game that wasn't a lazy cash grab
I always saw Dungeon Dice but have never tried it. Also Black Nerds still play Yu-Gi-Oh however no Magic the Gathering and Force of Will sadly. 😥
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.
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.
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 😅
You either play against AI Kaiba or IRL Kaiba. Both have too much money and not enough sense.
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 haven't even watched the video yet, and i already agree with the title.
Yeah, Yugioh games aren't really video games anymore. Master Duel is just a sim, and Legacy of the Duelist has zero production value, it's like they put in the minumum effort possible to make a functional sim with anime duels tacked on for the boomers. With modern day Konami at the helm, I really doubt they'll be releasing anything unique or experimental anytime soon. No reason to make niche RPGs when you can print waifu bait onto cardboard and sell it 3 times (physical, Duel Links, Master Duel)
I thought Falsebound Kingdom had a Joey campaign, or am I getting Mandela effected?
It might! Once I realised how potentially good it was, I stopped playing pretty early on because I'm legit considering an entire video jerking off Ogre Battle and using Yugioh to do it
@@Caspicum Nice! You tried Unicorn Overlord yet? It's literally just Ogre Battle with Vanillaware's art style and it is amazing
It does :)
@@Caspicum Please do a Falsebound Kingdom video. I need to hear you rant about monster recruitment, game speed, fusions etc.
Less zane more axel for a 1500 dollar meta deck god we are back in the dad upperdeck days
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.
First. It's time to DIMENSION THE DICE!
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.
This video is your boomer moment.
"bAcK iN mY dAy"
Welcome to the club old man. When are you buying a motorcycle and traveling the Balkans like other boomer Aussies?
My absolute favorite Yugioh games were Eternal Duelist Soul and Nightmare Troubadour. Excellent games.
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
kino just dropped
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.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist of the Roses was soooo difficult but the opening song was good and such a unique story and gameplay lol
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
mom casp uploaded
shhhhh don't tell mum she'll slap you
Average people talking abou what a card game actually is. The first yu gi oh games hit diff because most of them dont want to be a Card Game
- save ugly soyjak (and scream like one), from your 3 points
lack of creativity to discover your way into refined deck
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.
2:40
FUCK YES, IT'S DIG BEAKKKKKK!!!
"Allusions to Africa" sounds like a genuine (sub)title of a Yu-GI-Oh game.
I just want another world championship game or tag force. Need to team up with my waifu Wisteria again.
No way, I played Ogre Battle when I was an illiterate infant and all ways wondered what that game was called. Thanks!
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!
You are probably the first person I saw saying that Falsebound Kingdom is a good game lmao. It's a pretty shallow, slow and a rather mediocre "strategy" game imo. JRPGs are, for the most part, already very simple and easy games and the turn-based JRPG combat from this game manages to be even more basic. Heck, maybe even some bland JRPGs from the NES era have more going on than this game. You basically just attack, get attacked and maybe, later on, use special abilities too when you unlock some. Then you wait your squads to get to wherever you need them to go at snail's pace lol.
It has nice ideas, but they are executed so unbeliavable badly... A shame really.
On a surface level it seems to ape my beloved Ogre Battle enough to be noteworthy, but I did confess in that part, idk if it's actually good, or if I just love OB so much that it seems good by proxy.
Gonna give it a real proper play at some point soon, I think there's something there.
My wife enjoyed you naming yourself pooper.
Someone's gotta be the guy with the names
as much as i love joey the passion, its unplayable unless you use a cheat to have every card at the start. the game doesnt stop giving you duplicates even if you already have 3 copies of the card
nah bro you just gotta mindlessly battle Joey over and over
and over
and over
i remember duelists of the roses at least having a really good soundtrack
Casp, Casp, Casp
UA-cam isn't an american site and you have Asian or Chinese fans too, you know. Tone down the asian joke a little, it's funny when it wasn't overused
Jokes?
I just enjoy Duel Links by not keeping up with the meta at all and i just play in the lower ranks or against my friend's with my good old Elemental Hero's deck
based
Legacy of the duelist isn't that bad. It's not exactly a great story game, but you can get cards and make decks, no gimmicks
The anime? Videogame spin-offs? Pfft, I was way cooler than all of you and read the original manga. The one where Yami Yugi is a serial killer, who concocts increasingly sociopathic puzzle games to commit his murders, and Dual Monsters was supposed to have been a one-off story gimmick before Kazuki Takahashi decided it was easier and more profitable to just make it the entire plot.
The manga equivalent of season zero is definitely the best part of YGO from a quality/storytelling perspective. It feels a little bit like an alternate reality JoJo where you're not allowed to punch or directly fight, but you can kill someone so long as it's in the context of a "game."
My favorite parts of the manga were the Tazer game and the weird chinese dragon card game thing.
@TheSamuraiGoomba yeah, it's definitely the most unique part of the whole series, a bit like JoJo's part 1 and 2 before the introduction of stands.
I read the manga a few years back, and outside of the heavier parts of the Egypt narrative toward the end, the part where Yugi just bullies and mind-breaks dudes is legit the best.
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
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
I hope we get a YGO rpg now that Konami is making games again
Missed this completely 😪
How do I contact with you on a normal level Casposs?
I try to keep myself fairly unreachable outside of UA-cam. It's nothing against anyone, I just don't want people to document my foot lust and use it against me, you know?
calling me out on having this video on my secondary monitor in the background freaked me out lmaoo
got that millennium eye shit going on ngl
...what? Was that the Rerez guy saying FU to Konami? I need context.
The context is they're Konami. :^)
I'll release the full unedited version at 18 bajillion likes, but it's still public on his twitter, I think it's called Dear Konami or something.
I had completely forgotten about falsebound kingdom! I'm gonna download that rom right now. Thanks casp.
Godspeed my boy
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.
At least you dont have to pay to win in the old games. Well, i guess you dont really have to pay to win in Duel Links. You still can get good cards wasting days in boring events instead of money. But in the old games you also had to waste days grinding for good cards .. why i am playing this 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
Greatm, now UA-cam will start recommending me YGO and alt-right videos. Thanks Casp.
It could be recommending you videos about car-brains literally heckin' hurting people, I'd consider yourself lucky
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.
Been a while. Glad to see you’re back from getting milk at the corner store.
Did they have any copies of Boktai 2?
I feel like I can never talk about Boktai because then you'll have nothing to say. I don't wanna deprive you of that. It's a tough balancing act.
@@Caspicum truly my personal sword of damocles
Ay yoog.
Excuse me, my main monitor has a Japanese learning site open.
がんばる!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Yu-Gi-Oh ended for me after GX
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.
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.
