Yu-Gi-Oh: What-The-Fuck

[redgopher]

I have mad respect for Konami... but I'm really getting tired of the exploitation of kids simply for profit. Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon.. whatever... it doesn't make sense to me that people can buy the same game over and over and never get tired of it.

Add to that the complete stupidity of Yu-Gi-Oh and fucking Pokemon... yeah. Plus, it's annoying to have to type in Yu-Gi-Oh.

*goes to play Mega Man Anniversary Collection*

;)

EDIT: Also, go search Game Rankings for Yu-Gi-Oh and look at all the average rankings. You'd have to be a stupid kid to enjoy this shit.

[Moxio]

Konami makes Pokemon games? What? I thought Nintendo made all their games.

And yeah, Konami has high ups and low downs. I mean, how can the mastermind behind MGS be the mastermind behind those Yu-Gi-Oh games?

[zewone]

yugioh is just utterly ridiculous, how sick is this?

[JSweeney]

it doesn't make sense to me that people can buy the same game over and over and never get tired of it.

Yet people still want Madden. Go figure.

[PsyClerk]

I'm confused. First you say that buying the same game over and over is stupid, then mention playing Mega Man Anniversary. So I think "Ah, it's a joke."

Then I see the edit which indicates that it's not. So help a brother out.

Don't worry, Hideo Kojima has nothing to do with these games. At least, not to my knowledge.

[KEICHI]

I always thought Yu-gi-Oh was pokemon in disguise and it was just waiting to rear its ugly, smelly, making-little-kids-buy-stuff-cuz-there-are-cute-cuddly-little-monsteres-on-them-that-fight-each-other-for-enjoyment-and-kill-each-other-that-I-used-to-be-addicted-to head again.......I mean buying Pokemoncards/Yu-gi-oh cards.....wth is the diff? i mean yeah some ppl buy the Yu-gi-oh cards and play but the majority of fans buy the cards cuz their prettiful (my own word). That to me is a scam just to make money off little kids cuz most of them dont know better. Remind neone of Pokemon at the beginning of the craze? Well enough about why I dont like it but a video game based on a card game doesn't really sound appealing to me and i doubt many others (I can be and usually am wrong). I mean if I wanted to play the game wouldn't it be easier to just buy a deck of starter cards or something instead of paying some odd $20-$50 bucks for a virtual card game that isn't even that great?......I mean I may once in awhile buy a really really crappy game but...come on......I'm not that stupid.....well at least me dont think I R ahyuk.

[Jaket]

yu gi oh + kids = mini goth's AKA goths in training.... anime in general is kinda fucked up IMHO. oh well, i guess its not bad unless you jerk off to it, now thats is WITHOUT QUESTION fucked up!

w0rd, but same with madden goes for the yugioh games, with each one comes improvement and new features, same with the pokemon games with each new one comes improvements and new features er uh new pokemon ....

[Darke Katt]

Says you! I happen to LIKE pokemon, and buy the cards, and only partly because they have cute 'n' cuddly monsters. I enjoy the games, the show, and the cards ever since 1998 when they came out.

And Yu Gi Oh...I tried to understand the game, I really did. But it has to do with so much math, and I hate math. So I just watch the TV show and watch little Yugi try to save the world.

And what's wrong with anime? Its what the Japanese watch on a daily basis, just as religiously as we watch our Saturday morning cartoons. It just so happens that America is finally getting acquainted with it, and in turn Japan absolutely loves our cartoons, especially Disney Movies. So nyeh. To each their own.

[FriskyTanuki]

At least the Yu-Gi-Oh manga is not kiddie. It's very dark at some points in the story, unlike the anime.

I hope your kidding. The game is so ridiculously stripped down that it makes the Pokemon card game look positively elegant in comparison, and Magic the Gathering look like rocket science.

Ehh, anime= Japanese Animation. What SS said is just like saying Disney movies are screwed up because you just finished watching the South Park movie.

[1SwtDeception]

anything is gay and annoyin if a bunch of little kids goes alll crazy addicting frenzy yappin off their lil mouth about whatever is in..

and hey i played all those games before.. it was something cute lol but holy crap so annoyin when you have little people come up to you and all that.. and animes.. its like some boy band kinda crap with the screamin fans.. that is whats annoyin

[JSweeney]

I wish people stop just using "anime" just to refer to what they think is the "popular" stuff. The term is just bastardized completely.
I mean, anime covers everything from "Grave of the Fireflies" to "La Blue Girl.".

Refering to everything in the way people are doing just does a disservice to the entire catagory.

[dcfox]

The Yu-Gi-Oh games aren't just updates of the previous ones. In my opinion Konami tries to make each Yu-gi-oh game different. Take Forbidden Memories on the PSOne and Duelist of the Roses for the PS2. They have very little in common besides the general premise of the game. The Yu-gi-oh games for the GBA play by a different set of rules all together. So they are not really the same game over and over, just based on the same license. I do admit, however, that some of them aren't very good.

[Nirvanaguy777]

well we can all agree that south park is awesome, nuff said

I read and reread the instruction manual and couldnt get a damned thing. Maybe it was just the way it was worded. Maybe his all-powerfulness can help me to understand? :p and where are my cards, dagnabbit?

[thingsfallnapart]

yu gi oh games sell well because of one reason.

i worked at toys r us in the r zone last christmas and youd be suprised about number of moms who came in during christmas and wanted to buy a surpise game their son/daughter was intrested in. So they saw yu gi oh games, and nothing known about it..they buy it just because their offspring are into it.

thats how it sells so good.

I do watch the show, and all I know of are the monster cards, the magic cards, and the traps. How they calculate damage is beyond me. And the only kid I know that's into Yu Gi Oh is 7 and half spanish and has the attention span of a goldfish. XD

i see.. the damage cal isnt realllly that hard... its just subtracting the bigger points from the smaller one mainly..

[Cracka]

When Pokemon was big, it seemed like they actually TRIED thinking up a storyline.. Yu-Gi-Oh looks like they got lazy and were like... fyck it, i just want kids money...


Yu-Gi-Oh storyline: you must save the world by playing a card game...

[Moxio]

Yu-Gi-Oh storyline: you must save the world by playing a card game...

Yeah, that's the cheesy part about it. They make drama about how you must, like any other cliche anime, save the world. How is it in danger? Oh, some cards are going to destroy the world if they are in posession of some super bad guy. Time to duel and defeat him!

[MeGaWC27]

Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon isn't that bad. Although I must admit their storylines are starting to get weird and boring.
I wouldnt say Yugioh (got tired of typing the - ) is a trick to get kids money, I mean there are some older people playing the card games as well. And I believe that the only way that the Yugioh video games are selling is because of those limited edition trading cards that comes with the games.

I admit that I have been caught up with the craze in pokemon and yugioh cards, until i realized i wasted so much money on this stuff (plus i suck at the game :D )

but if you guys are gonna complain about these two, I hope you are gonna complain about Digimon and Dungeon Monsters as well :P

P.S.
if anyone interested in Pokemon or Yugioh cards, let me know, I wanna get them off my hands :D

Edit: sorry meant to say Duel Masters not Dungeon Monsters :P

It's very simple. You can summon a creature to the field (provided it does not require tributes) in either face up attack position or face down defense position. You complete all of the other things you want to do, and then you end your turn.

For this example, we'll say that your opponent started first, and already had a creature on the field in face up attack mode. They attack.

If both are in face up attack mode...
if your opponents creature's attack is stronger than yours, you assign critical damage to the creature, place it in the graveyard, and then assign the remainer of the damage to yourself (In M:TG, this is known as trample damage)

If your opponents creature's attack is the same strength as yours, both are placed in the graveyard and no damage is assigned to either player.

If thier creature's attack is weaker than yours, it is destroyed, and then the remainder of the damage is assigned to them.

If your creature is in defense mode, the rules of assigning damage are different.

if your opponents creature's attack is stronger than your creatures defense, you assign critical damage to the creature, place it in the graveyard, but take no damage)

If your opponents creature's attack is the same strength as your creature's defense, both are placed in the graveyard and no damage is assigned to either player.

If thier creature's attack is weaker than your creature's defense, it is destroyed, and then the remainder of the damage is assigned to them.

There are cards that modify or prevent damage, but these are the basic rules for damage calculation in Yu Gi Oh.

Well, Magic's storyline is that you are a planeswalker, journeying from realm to realm dueling other planeswalkers in a long spanning war. You tap into the worlds for thier spiritual power.. i.e. "mana", which you then use to cast spells, summon creatures, and summon legendary warriors to your side. Considering the amount of books they've written, I'm kind of surprised that they aren't considering and animated series as well.

Never, ever watch the show to try to learn how to play. They break the rules almost weekly on the show, assign different powers and such to the cards that they don't have in the actual card game. When I took my kid brother to go play in a Yu Gi Oh tournment (which he always won, using a cheapass deck (I paid all of 5 dollars to put it together for him), I had to constantly explain the rules to the kids, the parents and the people running the tournement. I wore out two rulebooks show a somewhat irate parent that their "precious darling" was dead wrong, and that the way they were playing WASNT the way the game was played.

[sj41]

I never liked the show that much of Yu-Gi-Oh but I loved the card game. I bought a GBA version of the card game and loved it. Now, I think it's stupid but the money I put into the cards still don't seem like a waste of money. I used and bought the cards for about 2 years and whenever I played the card game with my friends, it was a lot of fun. I probaly spent (around) $300 on all of the cards (actually make that $250 since I sold some sometimes). I also liked the Pokemon cards and show but I never actually played the game like I did with the Yu-Gi-Oh game. Now I like video games but I won't like them forever. Nothing that I have so much fun with could be a complete waste of money.

Yeah the show sucks balls, I have no idea how kids can watch it. At least in pokemon the characters are cute or they throw the kids some moral about friendsship. The pokemon games are also just simple RPGs. I have no idea what the Yu-gi-o video games are like.

Every show of Yu-gi-o I've seen goes something like this:

Hero:I will own him with my X card
Bad guy: HA let him play his X card I will OWN HIM
Hero:OMG my X card just got owned...how can I win ????
Narator:How will our hero get out of this one ?? Watch the next episode!!

[Moxio]

And you know what another bad part is? There's another card show similar to Yu-Gi-Oh!, called Duel Masters.

[1SwtDeception]

too many things poppin up.. = more little kids yappin on it and makin it annoyin

[AdamInPlaidum]

Pokemon rules. That's all.

[Darke Katt]

Pokemon rules. That's all.

Someone after my own heart. :twisted:

here's the reason the show sucked, and why it will suck less later

[redgopher]

I'm confused. First you say that buying the same game over and over is stupid, then mention playing Mega Man Anniversary. So I think "Ah, it's a joke."

Then I see the edit which indicates that it's not. So help a brother out.

Everything I posted was serious, the MMAC thing was just like "and I'm sort of a hypocrite" type of thing. Except I'm not because we all know Mega Man rules.
