The physical game does definitely have it's merits with getting to socialize, I've been going on trips to yugioh YCS with my friends a couple times over the last year, they were really one of a kind experiences I wouldn't trade for anything. granted we only do nearby ones now, the first one we went to was a cross country 22 hour drive, that cost us like 700 bucks a piece.
Yeah sometimes you you really don't realize how much of a hassle it is until you have to shift or move stuff around. I really do dread the day I have to move myself and find an organized way to take all this stuff with me properly. Finding a way to streamline it as much as possible is a constant thing
Look I know I commented a few hours ago that the mixing on a video of yours wasn't good but you really nailed it on this one, I can hear you perfectly and the music is pleasantly in the background, hope the algorithm is kind to you because the content is fire
I recently got into shadowverse evolve from the champions battle game they had . And yeah definitely different experience but I do like some of the aspects of physical you oy high lighted. Hopefully things dont get too costly
Awesome! Shadowverse Evolve was my gateway into the game too and now I've picked up the physical TCG that released recently. Definitely feeling the difference with the price of those starter decks but let's hope it doesn't become too pricey a game. Thanks for checking out the vid ✌🏾
Oh nice! So similar experience. Oh what class do you play? Also no problem you seem like a pretty interesting fellow for newcomers getting into the scene it kind of attracted me at least. Keep growing!
How come you didn't mention the biggest problem with digital: you don't own the cards. If I spend $200 on a physical deck, even if Konami suddenly go bankrupt tmr, I still have the cards with me, I can still play the game with people. Digital games with live service model ALWAYS have the risk of dying one day and you lose every progress or collection when they (eventually) shut down.
That's a very big point I wanted to talk about and planned to, because its very true. I can't remember why but it didn't make the final draft. But YES. A lot of these types of sims are built on a live service model and the biggest downside with that is when they eventually go down, you lose EVERYTHING. Its a very natural but huge downside of digital. I guess it kinda goes without saying but yeah, its still worth mentioning
Yeah! It'll be interesting to see for sure. I personally hope and pray we never lose the magic and feeling of physical card games when it comes to TCG's. Though I don't mind digital libraries and stuff, there's just no beating the feeling of physical games, both for video games and trading card games. The feeling of physical is unmatched 🙌🏾
well i kinda like the IDEA of digital tcgs BUT... if the game get's shut down your out of luck. I can play with the old World of Warcraft TCG cards even if the game is not supported anymore (only some fans made a new expansion recentely)... or with my Harry Potter TCG cards, Battletech ccg and so on. If Hearthstone shuts down, or Shadowverse, or any other online TCG.. well.. bad luck dude. The other issue: the "online" meta is differnet than the "real" Meta sometimes and there is no real "connection" between them. Also... MTGA is expensive?? well.. wouldn't say so not more or less than YGO Master Duel
RIGHT!!! ?? Like honestly, the way the game was handled was such a tragedy. I plan on covering the game and the situation in full at some point soon because goodness me this game deserved so much better
@@reiji_vt4262 yeah, it honestly should have been a free game instead of a game that cost way more than most Switch game with paid DLC instead not to mention their other game VG Zero being dead now. So it either playing the Physical card game which for some peoples may not be an option, buy VG DD including the DLC or play on fan made sim like Cardfight Area and such. Seriously they could go the Master Duels route but nope, even Master Duels are handled better than it
Let's make it easier. Digital: Almost or not money needed, mostly grind, less time invesment, no interaction. Physical: Money needed(not cheap), bad smell, interaction with players. You'd think interaction is great but being honest a lot of tcg players are corny adults with inmature child personalities. Personally i prefer online, money does not grow on trees, try not to feel like a bum when you pay those 50 dollars for a piece of cardboard
Counterpoint- the sense of community and being able to hang out with friends, as well as make new ones, is why a lot of people play physical. That and the fact that physically playing the card game has a different feel to it than playing on a computer, something which I actually prefer a lot. Also as a person who has been to a ycs recently, the smell thing is kinda overdone. Maybe it's just a west coast thing, since I've been to multiple different locals along the east coast and southern US and I have not had many experiences with BO.
@@e-tan3911 Couldn't agree more. Physical has a lot more upsides than some give it credit for. Of course to each their own, but no one is ever forcing anyone to interact outside the game if they don't want. I've had plenty of times where I'll just show up, play my opponents, shake their hand after and dip without having to force myself to socialize. Maturity is a different topic because all people are different and thats it own separate vid but I get the message. And yeah the smell thing is very overdone. A problem ? Yeah but its not everywhere Again tho, to each their own. I have fun with digital too.
To each their own. Experiences differ from person to person. But I just remember that I'm not forced to socialize with anyone if I don't want to outside the game itself. And the price thing is a given in any physical TCG. Its just about being smart with how you go about acquiring your "piece of cardboard(s)". Both sides have huge pros and huge cons
How Smart can you be when buying the most used staples in yugioh? Of course you can pick a nice structure like traptrix but take for example imperm, is almost a mandatory staple at this point and synergizes well with traptrix, but buying 3 imperm around 30 dollars, it is not cheap. You can have a deck with a cheap core, of course, but we all know they core alone is not enough, your staples , board breakers and side are needed and expensive af. Maybe i should have clarified, i don't know about other TCG, just yugioh, but if you think monetary barriers are a minor thing maybe you've been priviledged in that regard. Saying it is a common problem does not make it acceptable
@@piramaster9294 Board breakers- Dark Ruler No More is a dollar each, Harpies Feather Duster is pennies. Most handtraps are less than 5 a pop, with imperm being the most expensive one at 8. While there are some expensive staple cards(the triple tactics cards and kurikara) they generally are not needed for the local level and can be substituted. Kaijus are under a dollar and so are many other going second cards. I understand that card games being pay to play is a very large reason people prefer digital, but your point is not as airtight as you probably think it was.
