D.A._Sakuyamon Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Great art, tempest looks the best to me & blaster is a close 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Tidal's art looks so familiar. Blaster and Tempest are just so awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Meh. As a dragon enthusiast, I'm not all that impressed. I'll let Demmy decide if they're sexy. At least their effects are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I don't know why, but I look at Reddox and think "so that's who Raging Earth was castrated from, and gee willikers, he looks pissed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hounds Of Anubis Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 [quote name='.Rai' timestamp='1358358877' post='6122807'] Terribly overthought and incredibly inelegant design. I don't really understand why these sort of cards exist. Do too much, are annoyingly self-fulfilling and are just generally badly thought out. On the other hand, they are competitively viable. And competitively abusable. [/quote] Efficient, powerful design =/= Bad design, which I assume is the point you're really trying to convey. Yugioh isn't like other TCGs, and the design process of cards shouldn't be viewed the same. These cards seem fine to me, honestly. s: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee. Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Blaster's artwork is beautiful. Tempest still has the most potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 [quote name='Borderline Unplayable' timestamp='1358434302' post='6123746'] Efficient, powerful design =/= Bad design, which I assume is the point you're really trying to convey. Yugioh isn't like other TCGs, and the design process of cards shouldn't be viewed the same. These cards seem fine to me, honestly. s: [/quote] I disagree. It's certainly efficient, but I can't stand inelegant design. I couldn't care less for whether it was powerful or not. That's an entirely different issue, which I'd rather leave to people who know more about it than me. In pretty much ALL game design, theatre tech, event organisation etc., the number one rule is quite simply 'the best design is the design that can't be seen at all'. When all I see is a deadly precise development move to staple together synergising effects, I think to myself that it's completely ugly, and could have been better. And less obtrusively. YGO is the archetypal TCG. It strays not far from the bread and butter of TCG design, and it could easily be designed in the same way as others (and, to be honest, I'm almost certain they actually do). The rules of TCGs are all the same, because the rules of TCGs are the same rules which any normal video game follows. The designers are all designing for a game that needs to be fun, elegant and simple to play. If you're a coder, your job is to make the most efficient code as possible. Where YGO changes is that we have a design team quite literally possessed by a bunch of rampant Scrooges, and YGO quite literally just becomes a trade monopoly. It guises as a TCG now. Probably shouldn't. If Konami are desperate for money, they should go invest in stock shares. It's a stain on this industry. There are so many cards that Konami have done well. It's no coincidence that they all follow design rules incredibly closely. They just do not do it often enough. Because of the simple reality that money > design. I don't mind ranting about it though.

Pchi Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Is it me or Tempest looks a lot like Dolkka? Anyways, loved the arts, specially Blaster, though Redox DOES resemble Raging Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althemia Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I mean, Tempest seems to represent Destruction Cyclone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
