Eye of Judgement Discussion Thread

Am I the only one that can't find S1 boosters in stores? Every store I go to doesn't carry them or is sold out. Is there a good source to order them online?
 
[quote name='Simon D I']'Sup CAGs? Any current deals on this as of April 1st? I have totally missed out on every great Amazon deal :([/quote]

Simon,
You can go to the Eye of Judgement page on Amazon and see if their warehouse is still selling any copies. Unfortunately, I think I bought the last one for $50 shipped (free super saver.)
 
Since I'm getting this next week when it comes from Amazon, what's the metagame like (ie what decks are best?) What are the best cards or the ones every deck should have?
 
It's too hard to say since in about a few weeks old good decks will be nerfed due to alot of crazy new cards in set 2. I say wait till set 2 comes out before planning.

When I first saw this game it looked too complicated. On Thursday I went to pick up the MGS4 saga dvd and my daughter saw it behind the counter in the case in a bag, it was used but it had the game, camera, mat, and starter deck. We asked how much it was and it was $29.99, about $27 after edge card. After setting it up my kids love it and its not hard to learn at all. Complete game package for $27 was worth the deal.
 
I just picked this up yesterday; after figuring out how to play and losing to the computer 4 times straight, I won my first game!

One Question: Besides Gamestop, who seems out of cards, what other major chains carry booster cards?

Any newbs was to play?
 
Anyone excited about the new set? I have kind of lost interest in this game but I'm hoping that a new set of cards might pique my interest again.
 
I remember Wombat saying that he was having a hard time getting the PSEye to read his cards. After playing during the day, and having all my cards read instantly and correctly, I thought he was crazy.

Then I played at night. Most card wouldn't register. I put a small halogen lamp illuminating the board, but it didn't seem to read the cards still.

What do you guys use to play EoJ at night?

I used this lamp and it worked well (using 60 Hz automatic).

I feel that I should warn all that are interested in investing their time and money into EOJ that the second set of cards that was released in Japan and Europe is overpowered. So, if you only use set 1 you will be at a serious disadvantage against a player with set 2, especially if you online opponent uses a deck built around "Zealots" or "Missionaries" (which are broken/unbeatable), which most do. I was very addicted to EOJ, but now I have completely given up on it. As far as I'm concerned, in their greed (trying to make everyone upgrade) Sony (SCE Studios) has ruined EOJ.

Most chain stores are sold out of the game, you may find random starters and boosters at scattered Gamestop, Target, and TRU locations. Your best bet to buy locally is to go to your local independent gaming/comic stores and see if they still have product. You can also try EBay or the online CCG card stores, best deal I've seen is a booster box for $80 at coolstuffinc.com

Mine came in the mail from Amazon on Friday, and I got a booster box as part of my payment for judging the VS System Mega Weekend tournaments at the Chicago gaming store called Pastimes so I'll be ready and waiting for all CAG challengers!

Edit: Never mind about the price on coolstuff, it was $80 last week but now it's up to $92. EBay is your best bet online but you should always order local when it pertains to CCG's if you can.
 
Well I just got a PS3 and this was one of the first games I picked up. Definitely not a CAG purchase at 69.99 but I am a sucker for these kinds of games.

After waiting through the 4 hour and 10 minute patch (for set 2) I finally got to play and I have a couple of questions.

1. Where do you guys buy set 2 packs? Gamestop was all out and Target didn't sell them. I might stop by Toys r us. Are there any good online sites? Most the ones I see are charging 3.99 a pack but the shipping is crazy.

2. This one confuses me a little. So I have to buy the expansion for set 2 from PSN for 14.99, but that doesn't really get me anything right? (seeing as I download 1300+ files for set 2 as an update) I also have to pay 3.99 a pack to get the set 2 cards? What is the 14.99 for, the privilege to buy more cards or are there new game modes? Am I missing something?

3. I'm not thrilled that the PS3 Eye has a USB cable. I use a projector and my AV rack is a long way from where I sit. So I either need a long usb cord extension or some kind of power wireless usb/bluetooth hub. This is probably crazy talk but does anyone else have a similar setup? I'm struggling with how this will work much like my DDR setup (which is why I don't play DDR right now).

So far I am enjoying the game, I've had a few card recognition problems but I think its the light. PSN name is Flavanation if anyone wants a match. Just starter cards so far.

Thanks!

To answer some of your questions.

1. I got mine from my local Gamestop, but Amazon carries them as well.

2. Yep. $14.99 for the privilege to buy more packs basically...

3. I too, have a projector setup. The eyetoy absolutely sucks in low light situations, so unless you have a lamp nearby, and you can still see your projector, you probably won't be able to do too much with it in the dark. I purchased an extremely long USB extension off of monoprice that works fine for this. It's not ideal, but I can run the cable around the room to the table that I use for EOJ and everything works out for the most part.
 
Are any of you interested in maybe getting a group together to try to set up games and tournaments for this. I know there are a lot of new players with the Walmart sale so maybe we could agree to work with the starter deck and set 1 boosters to start and then maybe some of us will get into the second set. I personally thought about buying one of the themed decks, but not right away if I have to pay for the privilege.
 
Glad there is some interest. I played the computer for one game and still need to watch the tutorial, but I have a couple of questions.

What does the B mean on some of the cards when it shows it for defense? That they can defend from attacks from behind? Also, if you use a card like the one that can turn opponents characters, do you leave it when you're done or pick it back up? I think I need to figure out card positioning a lot better, but I'm at least getting the basics zi think.

The B means that's their back... if you attack from that direction it does 1 extra damage as far as I can tell, and obviously no counter attack. And whenever you use the sorcery type spells (ie turn a target) you put it in your discard pile immediately after. If someone uses it on your creature the game with tell you to turn the card around before anything else can happen.

My biggest problem my first game was that I never looked at what makes someone actually win. Now I think I've reached the point where the starter deck is just not fit to handle the computer deck (I'm up to the third or fourth).

I think happy is incorrect (I just got the game yesterday so I can be wrong). I think the "B" is the blindspot for the character. The back is always the opposite of the characters current facing position, but if you look on some cards, there are multiple "B" squares.
 
That could be the better term, but either way, attacking from that direction adds one damage. I took the learn from playing approach so I don't know any of the terms, just what they do. The creatures with multiple spots seem to be the magic attackers for the most part.
 
I just picked this up from the Wal-Mart deal, and I have a question, particularly about expansions.

First, from what I've heard, to play with the set two cards I'd need to download a $14.99 expansion pack from PSN (which I'm pretty against at this point). In addition, I've heard the terms 'broken' and 'overpowered' being thrown around in this thread with reference to set two. So I'm already inclined not to get in with the new cards.

Second, I really don't intend to get in to the collectible aspect of the game. I'd just like to have about three or four different decks that are comparatively balanced to play my friends with. Which brings me to my overarching question: are the set one pre-constructed decks relatively balanced? I'm assuming they're better than the starter deck, which, I'm ashamed to say, I still haven't won with against the easiest AI. I'm thinking of getting Biolith, Fire, and Water. Do you guys have any suggestions?
 
i too just picked up this game from the walmart clearance and would like to play against someone. i still have the starter deck and may pick up other cards later to build my own deck. i have no desire to pay $15 just to have the privilege to buy more cards.
 
[quote name='JoeB1233'] I'm assuming they're better than the starter deck, which, I'm ashamed to say, I still haven't won with against the easiest AI.[/quote]

Don't feel ashamed, I have yet to beat the AI myself. I am enjoying the game though. I am new to the PS3 in general so I am not sure how easy it is to send game invites, but I am always up for a good game (wife and kids willing) if anyone wants to play.
 
Really wondering if I should bother trying to play this game. I just watched my homeboy struggle to lay a card down (wouldn't let him no matter what). Maybe I'll wait until they make a game like this out of a CCG I actually used to play (Magic, METW, Texas Hold 'Em).

A Magic version of this game could seriously kick ass. Of course, I don't have any moxes but I got plenty of nice rarities I could play with.
 
I am sure I could beat the computer IF I could get through a single round without technical problems. Almost every game I get to point where the game simply wont recognize a move and I spend my entire turn futilely attempting to get it to.

change the lighting in your room. that may fix it.
 
i can't beat the computer after playing like 7 games but when i tried one game online i beat some random guy. what are the odds?!?!
 
I'm down for setting up some play :) I refuse to pay for the right to use the second set though...thankfully a GS near me has some packs of first set cards for sale that Im gonna swoop up with some store credit (thanks to BBV)

*edit* the started deck that came with my used EoJ from gamestop came with Sciondar fire god, some site said it was rare do all starter decks come with it?

i think all the starter decks are the same. at least my starter deck and my friend's starter decks are the same. both came with sciondar fire god so all starter decks may be the same. i also bought the fire crusader deck. if someone wants to play you can leave me a message.
 
If you have trouble getting the Eye to recognize the cards, simply do this trick.

Completely cover the eye and uncover it. The rush of light into the eye will allow it to see whatever cards instantly (works really well for me).

Recommend getting better light condition though.
 
hmm I have this game but, haven't tried it out yet.. Don't plan onto either since i'm not really interested in card game playing. Bought the bundle that's why I got the game in the first place..umm I plan on trading it perhaps.
 
I just got this game from the Target Clearance sale.. Was wondering if people still play this, and if so, when? I'd like to play against some people, but I hear the computer is brutal. :(
 
The computer isn't so bad until you get to the third deck or so where the starter just doesn't have cards capable of competing. It provides a decent challenge.

Set 3 dated and on the way, along with trophies.

The Eye of Judgment continues to expand. The revolutionary Eye-enabled card game will get its second expansion pack on October 16th. Biolith Rebellion Set 3 will add 100 new cards to EoJ. Once again, players will have to purchase the expansion on the PS Store, in addition to new cards that will make their way to retail stores.

With Biolith Rebellion Set 3, the total number of cards goes up to 310. Set 3 will also enable other content, such as XMB Trophy support, and a "set of new abilities that encourage more tactical playing based on creature formation." Set 3 will also add some background bonus material.

I have a question.. If you just have the starter set, can you play with someone by splitting up the starter deck and booster pack of cards or do you have to buy more cards?
