Culdcept Saga

Intrinsic · 02-05-2008, 08:02 AM

Starting a new thread for the release of this . . . which confuses me because I swear it was slated for February 5th, now Best Buy says the 12th and Gamestop says Pre-Sale the 6th. Guess it gives me a week head start on DMC4.

Anyways. If anyone else is planning on picking it up wanted to make sure I had gamertags for some good multiplayer action.

I'll have it. I pre-ordered but haven't gotten my call yet that it'll be in XXX or whatever.

Soygen · 02-05-2008, 08:11 AM

I'll be buying it.

Awesome game for the ps2...still play it. Its also a great party game.

Erronius · 02-05-2008, 09:31 AM

Cool info - I'll have to mention it to my friends that played the crap out of the other. I was kind of meh on it personally, but even I had fun playing with friends while waiting around on the weekends for everyone to get together.

I've checked it out but all the reviews say that while it's fun it can be frustrating because in the end it really comes down to luck of the draw. That would really piss me off I think.

to be fair, pretty much every reviewer played the game for a day or so and gave their impressions.

Deck Construction + strategy > luck. This isn't to say luck isn't a factor at all, but show me the card/board game where luck doesn't play a factor ever :P And of course, the starting decks are pretty horrible so luck plays a larger factor early on.

Intrinsic · 02-05-2008, 02:05 PM

I played the demo before even hearing about it and went digging to find out that deck construction was going to be a big part of it. The demo didn't seem to touch on any of that. As long as I can get a M:TG feel out of getting new cards (sans buying boosters) and putting together something to grief someone online, it should be great!

Well, the dice rolls and board game portion make it more luck-based then say, M:tG.

Still a fun game, though. I look forward to buying this new one when it comes out.

The ps2 version its REALLY hard to grief someone and you got new cards by going through the story mode and you could keep some cards from each beaten opponents deck. The dice rolls and the way combat works can make it near impossible to intentionaly grief someone. Really the fun of the game was getting the best deck together after that unless you play against someone its pretty boring.

Demo didn't really interest me at all, shame =\.

Soygen · 02-05-2008, 06:04 PM

My older brother and I played the shit out of the PS2 version(and still do on occasion), so this was a definite buy for us. And yeah, the fun is playing against someone else, once you both have decent decks.

Tabris · 02-06-2008, 07:28 AM

This game has an incredible soundtrack.

RiskyChris · 02-06-2008, 07:53 AM

Demo didn't light me up. Someone change my opinion because I love card games.

Soygen · 02-06-2008, 07:58 AM

Only way I could change your opinion is to say to play it for at least a few days with a friend/friends. The full game, that is. I originally didn't like the PS2 one when my brother brought it over, but I dig it a lot now.

PS: I couldn't find this on my way home yesterday.
