Dude I still don't know how to properly use Pendulum Summoning. Plus I assume it is basically dead with the inclusion of Link Summoning's extra deck limitations. Might snag this in a few weeks on physical.

Nope.
Plus you can still Pendulum Summon cards in your hand with no limit
Nope.
Interesting. Although I still don't quite understand how pendulums work at least there is still hope for them. Although I prefer the old school up to Xyz way to play. I still don't like Links they just add a new level of confusion imo
Did the first few duels in Yugioh's campaign. Just been sticking with Yugi's deck. I decided to try Kaiba vs Yugi reverse duel and got my ass kicked. Kaiba's deck has way too many summon monsters. Yugi basically whittled me down with like 1400 or lower monsters since I had nothing I could even summon.
I'm liking the game so far. Graphics are pretty shit though. The cutscene of summoning special monsters all look incredibly bad.

Same, I'm just out here trying to run 60 card Fire Fist in peace.
It's a perfect pick up and play quick session game, my Switch says I have 35 hours in it, and I'm not even a third of the way through I'm pretty sure (got it from JP eshop since full english.)
I did spend a decent amount of time Grinding Nekroz, Lightsworn, and Shaddoll decks though.
Is the starting pool randomized? I've gotten some really weird but practical stuff like Castel and Chidori that I can throw into the decently competent starter.

Zoom on the card art is bad to mediocre. Duel Links actually has a much better zoom.

The added little animation flourishes and slowdown not present in the PS4 version are a fucking drag. The AI just sits there thinking for so long sometimes I think the game's frozen.
Trying to blast through the story as quick as possible to unlock more card packs and build some different decks. Having finished everything in the PS4 version makes the campaign grind feed a little longer.

For people thinking I'm not serious that you should buy physical: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...0.Xmicro+coder.TRS1&_nkw=micro+coder&_sacat=0
i wish they had voice acting and what not, just feels like a glorified mobage.
Still gonna try to just grind some stages so i can make my decks instead of using the overpowered story decks.

Nice! I don't play the physical game anymore, so I'll probably try and sell mine and recoup some of the cost.
lmao literally Mad Scientist + Catapult Turtle all over again.And let us never gorget that one of the trolliest burn cards ever was a Synchro Monster
It's amazing how forgetting to add "Once per turn" can break a card
Real talk, maybr look into "Trickstars"?
I mean...

You completely burn your opponent 200 at a time

I'll just paste my explanation from the game OT
Pendulum Monsters
This ones are arguably the most complicated, but also some of the most powerful cards out there
As you can see, Pendulum Monsters have 2 effect boxes. The upper box also has some red and blue arrows. The value in those arrows is called "Pendulum Scale"
Pendulums go in your normal deck (not the extra deck) and you can summon them as regular monsters, OR activate them as spells in the Pendulum Zones of the field
If you activate them as spells, they are considered face-up spell cards on the field, and they use their "spell mode" effect on the top box. They´ll remain on the Pendulum Zone until they are forcefuly removed, you can't replace them like ypu can with Field Spells.
When Pendulum Monsters are destroyed, regardless of which zone they were in, they are NOT sent to the graveyard, they'll go to your extra deck. Face-Up.
To Pendulum Summon monsters, you need 2 activated Pendulum Monsters in the Pendulum Zones.You can use the Pendulum Summon only Once per turn.
First, look at the "scales" of each pendulum monster (the red/blue arrows). In a Pendulum Summon you can summon ANY NUMBER of monsters in your hand or Pendulums in your Extra Deck (These would go into an available Extra Monster Zone) as long as these 2 conditions are met.
1-Their levels are inbetween the values of the scales of the activated cards in your pendulum zones.
2- They don't have any summon restriction, like Rituals or cards that state "Cannot be Special Summoned"
Now for an example. If I activated a a "Scale" 1 Pendulum Monster, and another with a Scale of 10. I can pendulum summon 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons in my hand. As their levels (8 each) are inbetween 1 and 10
I wrote a small guide a couple of months ago from playing the JP version and I posted it to reddit yesterday. It absolutely exploded to my shock:
All in all. It's a decent Yu-Gi-Oh! Game. I felt super bad playing online yesterday with my Chaos MAX Dragon deck against people who were clearly new and didn't have much of a deck going for them yet.

So I played this game quite a bit on PS4 and I ordered this version a while ago (thnx TGG for having it @ £26 instead of the ludicrous £40 it is on the eShop) and I jumped straight into the GX campaign and... you can only have one fusion monster out at a time or something? Err what? When did this happen? And why? I played the PS4 version not too long ago and fusions definitely shared zones with regular monsters. I've checked in the settings and I don't think this can be changed?
I'm really bummed out about that. Jayden's deck is my favourite and this is kind of a massive nerf for fusions no? I'm actually considering returning the game because this is far from ideal for me.

So the Legacy of the Duelist that's on PS4/XB1 isn't gonna get an update for the Link stuff? If it's not I'll jump on this version.
It's using Master Rules 4 which is the latest Master Rules that the TCG uses. It introduced Link Monsters, changed the field and introduced a summoning limit on the extra deck where you need to "Link" extra deck monsters into Link monsters.
I think the intent of this was to slow the overall TCG down but it hasn't really achieved that since people quickly figured out how to "Link" spam while continuing to pop extra deck monsters everywehre.
Try it out. You can still work with it. Just note that most of the "story" decks don't have Link monsters in them unless you build a custom deck.
Thanks for the explanation but this still kinda sucks for me since I have no interest in anything post-GX so it's disappointing that the rules are universal which isn't how it was during the GX anime. It'll take some getting used to at least.

Game is great, been enjoying stomping the story battles with some simple decks I could put together (Gravekeepers and Amazoness). Unlocking cards is gonna be a slog though, I can already tell.
Just ordered the game. Hopefully I can sell the physical cards quickly to get the price down a bit.
Honestly you can probably make a deck that's at least a bit better than the initial story decks just from the starting pool, and there are some good cards in the og series packs
OP
OP
Play the campaign in order, always try to focus your Deck on a defined theme/ strategy, pay attention to which cards really give you the edge and play 3 of those
The first set of packs from the OG series characters will allow you to make decent decks from older archetypes. Luckily winning the campaign battles gives you a ton of BP and the packs are cheap.
It's worth noting that one of the best Archetypes in the game, Thunder Dragons, are in Kaiba's pack. Granted they really want the support of a few off archetype cards from other packs like Batteryman Solar
I bought this game not having played the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game since I was a kid and GX was the newest series. I was really excited to play the GX story with the cards I loved as a kid when I found out they have a new rule that you can only have one fusion monster which ruins almost all of the decks from that time. I wish they'd let you disable it for the older series that never had this rule in the first place :/
I mean there are ways to get multiple fusion monsters out at once, even without link monsters, they're just annoying, require more setup, and not possible with certain fusion monsters.
Synchro era has it easier for story decks at least since Stardust Dragon's effect lets it move to a main monster zone on revival which opens up the extra monster zone again
OP
OP
It's still very dumb to not just have story decks have 1 or 2 Links
I mean I agree, just noting there are other ways around the issue
Yugi's grandpa's packs are the cheapest and they have all the elemental link monsters in them so it's pretty easy to find one that work with pretty much any deck.
OP
OP
Yeah but I meant the story decks the ones for the campaign
I'm assuming the story decks don't have links because they didn't exist yet. The opponents dont have them either
So is there a way to set card placement to auto or I gotta do it everytime? I remember the old tag force games you could change it in the settings.
It's manual now because of good ol' Links turning the game into chess.
OP
OP
Card placement has a HUGE role in modern YGO, so now you always have to choose where you place them
I mean even ignoring links it'd be a bad idea with stuff like the mekk knights and especially infinite impermenance around
XYZ Shokan is your best friend. The overlay network is the best. Start with Zexal.
Are Links really that complicated? I only have a few and they don't seem to have any extra effects or anything.
