>sequel introduces a new mechanic that ruins the game

>>389467694

Anon how do i tell you, Yu Gi Oh is dead since GX

>>389467694
To be fair, Yu-Gi-Oh has been ruined for years.

Can't speak for how Links work in practice because I've long since quit, but in theory this is them trying to reign in the stupid bullshit that has plagued the game for almost a decade now.

>>389468152
Maybe I don't have a full grasp on the mechanic, but based on the brief description a friend gave me I would assume that I slows the game down significantly.

But, like I said, I don't know too much about how it actually functions in practice. It would not surprise me in the slightest to learn that they fucked it up by cooking up something MORE bullshit than XYZ/Pendulum.

>>389467989
only retards play duel links

>>389468365
It "slow downs" in the sense that Link is required if you want to go spamming XYZ shit and what-not, but in practice that's still possible and Links themselves are spammable

>Playing Duel Links

>>389467694

I like the more emphasis on card and column placement, I just wish there wasn't such a radical change that affects 99% all decks.

Links are simpler then pendulums, but you didn't need to play pendulum decks to stay meta and pendulum mechanic didn't affect all the old decks either.

They are going to have to throw a lot of great generic link support if they don't want to completely kill off older decks. The concept is interesting, but it feels way less thought out then every other major format change.

>>389470694
What? Duel Links is genius! It streamlines the game and cuts out all the bullshit Konami weighed the game down with, then intentionally shunts the meta back by more than a decade to slowly bring the playerbase up to speed! It's a Yu-Gi-Oh! game for people who grew tired of Yu-Gi-Oh!, making it the best Yu-Gi-Oh! game by default!

Don't even get me started on the presentation!

>>389470358
How expensive is this shit?

>>389470491
Funny to remember how 900 attack was pretty fucking good when the game first started. now 4 star normals with 1900+ are the norm

Are spirit decks any fun?

>>389472064
900 atk was never good
When the game first started 1500-1800 attack was the strong, and it was all on normal monsters.
Then you'd get things like 1800-2300 attack but they were all effect monsters that had terrible limiters on them.

Now you have 1900 attack effect monsters that summon a million other monsters that mix together to get you a 4500 attack monster that can clear the opponents board and hit twice or something

>>389472064
Not really. 900 attack was bad even back then. Even worse that it was a fusion and Mystical Sheep had either 1200 or 800 attack.

>>389471673
I used to play Duel Links for nostalgia but I didn't like that it wasn't the normal game. Then it was realizing that Yu-Gi-Oh justs not great. There's no balance and too much power hype.

>>389468045
that card isn't even that bad

Actually, when the first Konami brand cards came out, Hitotsu-Me Giant, Silver fang, and Mammoth Graveyard were the strongest non-tribute monsters. Most monsters were 500-800 atk.

In context to what's out now, of course not, but when it, Chaos Dragon, and Yata Garasu were first released, they effectively damaged the game beyond repair. Chaos decks everywhere because they were quick easy summons. Envoy could quickly come out, clear a field, then you brought out Chaos Dragon and Yata Grasu and that was game.

>>389473616
It's a way to spice things up. Send it out into the wild, see what the playerbase does with it.

Actually, the earliest of days in nipponland this was the most sought after card. It wasn't even given in a booster. (IIRC, it was a card you could only get by getting a specific manga volume.)

you can get the structure decks now for yugi and kaiba that each have some amazing cards in them as well as some generic beaters almost as soon as you start the game
there's also super rush headlong in the dawn of destiny minibox that's pretty easy to get compared to other powerful removal currently in the game

>>389474382
If you can't add numbers together or recognize when 2 numbers are the same or know what numbers are between other numbers, I don't know what to say to you

>>389474406
Battle Ox was an ultra rare.

ok, people are missing the context, that fusion was a mere rare, and fusions were special summons, that means unlimited summoning if the conditions were right. I could pull that card out with a poly, tribute it or attack with it and back when the game started people weren't swimming in cards like Battle OX unless you were one of this shitty rich kids who bought cards.

>>389467694
What's its defense?

>>389474487
It's more than that. Shit's time consuming and saps your money.

See, the great thing about Duel Links is that you don't actually need to pay Konami a red cent.

>>389474731
it doesn't.

>>389474731
It has none, it can't go into defence mode.

Duel Links' lack of an ability to just buy/craft specific cards you want is probably the worst thing about it.
I just wanted a Megarock Dragon from the shitty rock/beast pack they released and I ended up having to go through every single pack int he box to just get one.

Links ended up doing the exact opposite of what it was meant to do. Links purpose was to stop the meta decks from shitting on every other deck, where it basically did nothing negative to the meta decks where nearly all other decks are now unviable.
