I enjoyed playing this sometimes until they added pendulum monsters which is utter bullshit :P

yugioh is dead, konami just releases a new op deck every 8 months that costs thousands to build

I ran into one of those two days ago. Couldn't attack anything at all. Hate it to death and don't use it.

Flashbacks to me installing this again and getting rekt by Qliphorts being used by everyone and their grandmother

I used to use yugioh virtual desktop to game with my homies back when synchros were big, is this thing any different than that?

devpro is way more professional (animations, music, etc), but they are functionally very similar

Pretty much Nekroz right now. I play DevPro but I only play casually and generally just make joke decks with friends. DevPro is probably the best, the only bad sides that rarely happen is bugs with an effect(generally old effects like parasite) and the server goes down maybe about 2-3 times a month, and may be things with chaining.

You can turn a setting that lets you pick chain order if that's what you're talking about

YGO PRO is shit compared to DEV PRO or even Dueling network.

i liked yu gi oh until they made all those shitty themes where you have to have every card for the deck to work

elemental heroes ruined the game

How did E-heroes ruin the game? Are you talking about how it was kind of the first somewhat structure deck to be shown? Whether it was Elemental Heroes or not, Konami probably still would've made structure decks a thing and many more archetypes that work. If you mean Dark Law, well that deck is only like tier 3 I believe.

it went from a game of cards with cool effects to a game of cards with effects that affect another card's effect and you have to have one effect to affect the other effect card's effect

That's what makes it unique among most other card games, it's cool seeing new and old archetypes with interesting effects and mechanics and how they interact with each other and your opponent's decks. I get what you're saying and understand where you're coming from, luckily there are alternative card games I'm sure you're aware of that cater more towards what you're interested in.

I'd be down for some devpro or DN though, I got a regional coming up on September 12th so it wouldn't hurt getting some deck testing in, just sauce me a steam add.

Kind of understandable, and what smiteey said. But it's one way to make the game progress and make it somewhat more interesting and build up a new meta. Could've balanced it and changed it a bit more though. I still don't think E-heroes ruined the game in the regard that you said, E-Heroes kind of describe what you say with their fusions having some cool effects but not always affecting each other's effect and etc.

I think it was more the disappointment of opening a pack as a kid and seeing that I couldn't use any of the cards that I got without having a bunch of other ones.

Aw man, I know that feel. I got a McDonalds meal to get Elemental Hero Burstinatrix and that was as far as I got. But nowadays people just buy the cards online or play DP/DN. Elemental Heroes are still cool to me though, I loved GX for it's enthusiasm to never give up and to just have fun.
