Very Taffy Factory esque re: let’s go after crazy legend and it turns out to be true!

Seriously! What the fuck with this article?

Most important thing for me: Richard Garfield was toying around with the game mechanics in his head for years, and him and Valve appear to be co-partners in this endeavor. They didn’t call him out of the blue and ask him to half-ass a hearthstone clone out the door.

I guess the good news is that they will eventually come up with their own version of Battle Royale, which undoubtedly will be good.

After reading through the article I have a couple of thoughts that spring to mind.

Gwent exists, but its player base near as I remember is contracting due to how stale the meta for the game is.

The current 4 Kings of DCG’s are Hearthstone, Shadowverse, Gwent, and Eternal. All 4 are pretty dramatically different from each other with the closest pair being Hearthstone and Shadowverse.

Hearthstone is…

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. GOOD THING VALVE SPENDS ALL THAT TIME CURATING IT’S STEAM LIBRARY SO IT’S NOT FULL OF SHIT OR I’D BE VERY UPSET THAT THEY DON’T DEVELOP VIDEO GAMES ANYMORE....AT ALL. OR EVEN TRY. Seriously? Fuck you Valve.

I mean c’mon let’s be honest here Valve can you really make any for of collectible card game based system that by it’s very functionality isn’t at least somewhat pay to win. You can balance it but there is always an element of that.

That being said the game looks really cool and I look forward to trying it out.

I hope your definition of ugly just happens to be the opposite of everyone else’s, as this clearly looks to be a beautiful game, which ign and pc gamer reported from their first hand experience.

I was there and very excited for the announcement, as were many others. It just wasn’t expected, the crowd was expecting thebheronannouncement at that point. Check out the dota 2 reddit, community seems overall very exxited about the game.

Me too, I am looking forward to it!

The design looks very similar to Solforge which was pretty good and also designed by Garfield

Like... any traditional TCG?

So this looks pretty similar to TES : Legends but with each lane having their own HP. Sounds interesting, unfortunately card games are nothing without the Trading aspect, so Valve will be the first company to make a real “T-CG” since MTG:Online. That’s good.

Not “likely”, it’s confirmed. If you had bothered to read the article, you’d know that there will be micro transactions in the form of card packs, but Valve is claiming the game will not be pay-to-win.

Kinda skeptic this could be in same sentence.
