I'm really pumped for this game. It looks amazing and is hands down the best mugen game I've ever seen.


I guess if you don't agree you could just not participate in this topic?

RR is right, the internet would be a giant circle jerk if there wasn't negative opinions to balance out the positive.

it doesn't matter how free the game is, the idea is terrible. i'm not gonna mollycoddle stupid wastes of time just cos they aren't asking for money. why do this project at all? i know they enjoy it, obviously, but they are idiots for enjoying it. the material they are using is mostly from jrpgs, from what i can tell, so what they're doing is taking a bunch of crappy characters with stock personalities and making a game about TRADING CARDS to celebrate them. bleck. blecky bleh. i don't want to spend any time with this, and anyone who does outside of irony purposes i consider to be a capital Bum.

if you can't see that this is a bad thing then there's no point in talking to you, and if you can and you're still defending it (which i keep seeing people doing with stuff that sucks for some reason) then you gotta do some serious thinking about the lifestream and your place within it.

the time spent doing this could be spent on something worthwhile, or at least approaching worthwhile. it's just so lazy and indulgent in this anime shit.
It's a really ridiculous idea, but this is just fanservice for the fans by the fans. How is this actually hurting anybody, I fail to see any real point in raging over this? Does the game play solid? I'm more concerned about that than the premise, because if the game plays like total crap than nobody wins.

itt: you're a faggot waste of time if your tastes differ from how we tell you they should be

Yeah this is true but there's a point where you have to draw the line. It's one thing to disagree, it's another to ruin fun for others and troll people for their (bad?) tastes.

Mugens usually get boring after the first ten minutes or so since the gameplay is pretty generic. Though one thing I have to commend the guy/group for is their artwork. I am also impressed at how many games that have been included (if not ingame, at least insprites). I thought, for a moment, no one else remember some of the more obscure games like Killer Instinct.

Looks like they are putting a lot of effort into this! They could be doing something productive with their time like blazin' up but I guess some people enjoy practicing their spriting and coding skills and making a lot of people happy at the same time!

it's not that this game is particularly more offensive than any of the other bullshit that gets pumped out, it's that this topic is about the stupid game and i thought someone should say something about how stupid it is. maybe someone who would have saw this and thought "oh, i guess that's cool" would read a post saying it totally isn't and re-think it a little. it's doubtful but perhaps.

who cares if it's not hurting anyone, it's still such a bad thing. this kind of acquiescent attitude towards bullshit it part of the reason it continues to appear. i don't think it'll ever stop coming out, there are always gonna be kids and kids who never grew up who are into this thing, but it doesn't mean i'm gonna say "aw, well let'em have their fun!". that's a rude and patronising way to treat people, if i think everyone involved in this is making a fool out of themselves.

Probably does have potential to be the best MUGEN fighter for nostalgia reasons. I can see this game being a bitch to balance properly though.

BUT GUYS... Obviously the true purpose of this game is to... destroy CHARACTER BATTLE POLLS!!!  :fogetcry:

J-Just think about it... No more will people debate who is stronger between Sephiroth and Pikachu. No... They will only have to turn to this game.....


Oh, and.... TOP TIER RIGHT HERE, GUYS




... I think I actually do want to play this.....

it's kind of funny how everyone assumes it's a game about trading cards

when it's just a stupid shitty MUGEN-made fighting game.

Except that it doesn't seem to be shitty like every other MUGEN game out there.

*shrugs*

It just looks like a cool little fighting game to me. I don't take video games that seriously and it's unlikely that I ever will. As long as its fun it's doing it's job as far as I'm concerned.

If it's something you like, you have to take it seriously to some degree.  I don't really have a solid opinion on this game because frankly I haven't looked at it much at all, but this applies to all games--if you think they're crap, you have to say so.  Otherwise, more crap gets made.  Eventually it's ALL crap, and then there are no good games.  So if you WANT there to be good games, you can't just shrug off the bad ones.

i'm not familiar with mugen games so I don't know if this really has any amazing-never-heard-of-before mugen code or some gay shit like that but it looks pretty good and like a pretty fun game to play

Also this:


Of course. I appreciate the critics who have the time, energy and interest to tell when a video game is objectively good or bad in different areas. But sorting out objectively good games from objectively bad games using arbitrary standards or whatever is not my place.  To me, video games are divided into two things and two things only:

FUN/NOT FUN

I personally take video games about as seriously as ball and paddle or scribbles or something. Sure, they are beautiful and interesting contained within themselves, but to me as long as I'm having fun I don't care either way. To me, this game looks pretty fun, so it's enough for me. I don't want to enjoy a video game only to have someone tell me how stupid/anti intellectual I am and to proceed to say I have bad taste.

I really do think this game looks awesome, and the creators spent a lot of time working on some pretty wicked sprites that all seem very cohesive, and put it together in a pretty decent looking game. I understand that some people think WOAH NO CREATIVITY SHITTY GAME GO DIE BRAWL+KH SUCKS, and their opinions have been heard, and they are valid. At this point it isn't really necessary to keep coming back to this topic to tell other people they have shitty tastes in games or that they are terrible people because they like this. This isn't an issue of people being stupid, it's an issue of people liking what they like, and being ridiculed by others just because of it.

And how the hell is something like Brawl an insult to ones intelligence? I honestly think Brawl had a great premise, and fits perfectly with the way Nintendo has always done things, and if you think I'm dumb for thinking that, then man you are far more stupid than you are acting.

You hit the nail right on spot, Grogrog. *High-five*

On topic about the game, it seems they are going to release the beta soon, and the guy behind the project is translating the whole site to English.

he didn't hit anything on the spot.

what kind of defense is "well screw you i like what i like!"? why do you like this idea, why the heck is it a good idea?

let's count out how fun it is, since no-one has played it yet - all there is to like so far is the concept and the graphics. so you guys who are...defending Card Sagas Wars are doing it based on your appreciation of how they've taken a bunch of characters from other games, most of them being terrible, and thrown them together for a wild fanboy orgy. have i missed something critical about this concept that will make me realise it's genius? or do you all just get a hard on seeing cloud face off against solid snake?

the best thing i can say about this is that they aren't trying to charge you money for it. but that also means the creators are just embarassing themselves to anyone who isn't enamoured by the glorious sticky collision of multiple franchises.

videogames as a whole are already embarassing enough, this stuff doesn't need to get made.

Agreed.
As long as they are doing it RIGHT, then I'm all for it. I don't see how this game is insulting in any way.
Hopefully it's as good as it looks. I'll be sure to try out the beta.

Look jamicus man, if you don't like this game then fine, telling us once is enough, you don't need to type loads of bullshit text over and over again in some petty trolling attempt. At least let those who like it enjoy it.

Holy fuck man give it a rest. Why do I like this game idea? Because I love fighting games, I love spriting, and think they did an amazing job with the graphics, it's a fun idea, playing as iconic video game characters, a lot of which I've grown up with, most of them NOT being terrible, contrary to what you are saying jamicus. These guys like what they are doing, and I'm sure are having a blast doing it, honing their skills.

You see the thing is, people in this world have different tastes, ideas, and opinions. That's why a lot of good and bad shit gets made. Yeah, you think this is overall bad, but thankfully for you, there are tons of other shit you can enjoy! And thankfully for us, things like this are here, so we can enjoy them!

Like I said in my last post, don't worry jamicus, I've HEARD your opinion, I UNDERSTAND your opinion, I know where you are coming from. We all do, we all get it. You don't need to repeatedly come in here, say this game is shit, the idea is shit, the characters are shit, and if you like this, you are shit, and fuck up the topic for those who are actually interested in this idea.
