Just Got EpIII.

[Neo48]

I agree. Those traits you stated are what make card games unique from others. But if you dig beneath all the dirt, you just find the same thing.

[Benoit]

No, not card games. PSO: Episode III.<br>And it's not the same thing underneath.<br>You're calling strategy RPGs card games?

[Neo48]

Do they use cards? Card games are turn-based combat with the use of cards. Episode 3 is turn-based combat....and uses cards.<p>Do I care about that? No. My reason for not liking episode 3 is different.

[Lord Khyron]

You're being just like SheWren..<p>Not liking something before trying it. <p>C.A.R.D is not CARD!<p>Cards don't kill you when you use them, Cards weren't the weapons of the ancient enemies. Where the hell do the hunters in PSO Ep 1/2 equip their weapons from? <p>It's not on them! The weapons on Episode 3 appear just the same way, Out of no way.<p>CARD TECH uses GERM to manifest things from another dimension. THE SAME WAY ENEMIES IN PSO APPEAR!<p>Episode 3 gives a explanation as to why things can appear and disappear instantly in Episode 1/2.<p>Please Neo, it's not a true Card game<p>P.S. The VR system works just the same way as CARD tech. So you should hate episode 2 as well!<p>[size=small][Edit by Lord Khyron on [TIME]1106186365[/TIME]][/size]<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Lord Khyron on [TIME]1106186470[/TIME]][/size]

[Neo48]

Haha! Perhaps....but do you thin that they thought up the Episode 3 story to include C.A.R.D. technology just on coincidence? I think not.<p>Plus Khyron...me and SheWren agree. We dislike it because it does not give us the thing we like most about Episode 1&2.

[Lord Khyron]

Actually, Blue Star Memories was made to tie in Episode 3 to PSO to explain it.<p>It does a great job of doing it, showing the fact that CARD TECH is superior to the VR system causing the system crash.<p>SheWren HATED PSO episode 1/2 at first, but she tried it and loved it.. PSO at first didn't give her what she wanted at all. <p>She is afraid the same thing will happen to her with episode 3, and so she won't play it.<p>You have no reason to hate it until you try it, That is flawed reasoning.<p>SheWren gets no respect for being such a hypocrite, least of all you don't need to give her any respect. <p>P.S. The reason it isn't a card game is because GERM doesn't need to be used in a Card to work. Card was a convenient portable way to use germ. And this right here, text proves it!<p> <blockquote>Kylria: A substance that<br>regenerates, dissolves, <br>then re-forms, evolved.<br>That's the nature of the Germ.<br>The C.A.R.D. Technology<br>that you use is made<br>possible by the Germ.<br>It can copy physical <br>objects, then disassemble<br>and compress them.<br>Then, by merely applying<br>the proper key,<br>it can recall those objects <br>back into physical existence</blockquote> <p>So there! Cards were not needed to use germ, they were portable.<p>Tell me another supposed card game that explains how the cards work..<p>Flawed reasoning, How sad!<p>Oh! If you read that, GERM = D-cell! <p>OMG! We have the explanation for how Mags can evolve being from D-cells! <p>Now let's ignore the answer to every PSO question because we believe a falsehood..<p> <blockquote>Kylria: Blitz was the one<br>who first brought it back<br>to Pioneer 2.<br>At first, they just thought <br>it was some new disease.<br>But as research<br>progressed, they came<br>to realize<br>the amazing potential <br>hidden inside it.<br>But they weren't able to<br>successfully duplicate it,<br>so research was only able <br>to use the small sample <br>that was brought back.<br>The C.A.R.D. devices you<br>use each contain a tiny<br>amount of the Germ.<br>Even that small amount is <br>enough to materialize a<br>certain amount of matter.<br>If someone were to find<br>the location of the <br>Great Shadow,<br>they would instantly <br>become the most powerful<br>person on Pioneer 2,<br>not to mention gain the <br>ability to direct the future<br>of all life on Ragol.<br>They'd even get the power <br>to take over our home <br>planet, Coral, itself.<br>Anybody who knows about <br>it can't help but dream about it.<br>The politicians aboard<br>Pioneer 2 are constantly<br>fighting behind the scenes</blockquote> <p>P.S.S. CARD TECH is superior to photon weaponry ^^<p>[size=small][Edit by Lord Khyron on [TIME]1106188056[/TIME]][/size]<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Lord Khyron on [TIME]1106188108[/TIME]][/size]

<blockquote>Do they use cards? Card games are turn-based combat with the use of cards.</blockquote><br>*Wachunga! LaconianShot enters the fray!*<br>Okay, let's assume that instead of cards, they use boxes such as how Photon Weaponry was called upon.

Essentially, Ep.III is Strategic Rolepaying game. <br>Box... card... hairpin... it makes no difference. <br>People see the big bad word "Card" and make inaccurate assumptions...<br><p>[size=small][Edit by LaconianShot on [TIME]1106190414[/TIME]][/size]

[Forge]

I've been playing a lot of Force decks recently, using Caduceus and Concentrate with Glustar. It's the only way I've managed to beat Pollux.<p>I've never really got into Ranger decks, I can use my Inferno Bazooka's elsewhere! Haha!<p>And music-wise, I love the theme tunes for Ravum Adres Sacra and ???. Is there anywhere I can find the mp3 files?

[Lord Khyron]

I use my Saligun and her tech based deck.. Or Ino'lis and the great Psycho Wand XD<p>On Arkz I will use Endu and a Belra or Rufina and Dubchich and action cards. <p>Rufina is a solo Arkz at times. <p>PLUG!!!!!<p>Join the PSoTavern forum and the mp3's will be available for you. All PSO soundtracks. And no ass kissing to get them ^_^<p>Or find me on AIM and I'll send them..<p>The first Soundtrack is up and waiting for tomorrow's update.. Weee!<p>[size=small][Edit by Lord Khyron on [TIME]1106240537[/TIME]][/size]

i dont like this game<p>[size=small][Edit by Roy3 on [TIME]1106255889[/TIME]][/size]

Just to reinforce:<p>my bro bought this game while the boards were down and i thought it sucked i'd rather play tellitubies great adventure than a pile of crap like this game.

Besides, the point I has intended to illustrate was that if you take away the CARDs and put in something else, it's still a Strategical RPG.<br><blockquote>my bro bought this game while the boards were down and i thought it sucked i'd rather play tellitubies great adventure than a pile of crap like this game.<br></blockquote> <br>Yeah? I'm willing to bet that you played 2 minutes of the game and decided you wanted to hate the game. Or that you have the intelligence of a rock and prefer to be amused by simple things such as pretty colors and flashing lights.
