I've noticed I become somewhat obsessive about the games I play. For the most part I keep every game I buy no matter how many times I've beaten it unless I thought it sucked.
Well anyway everytime I buy an new game I play it endlessly until I've beaten it and go back through some of my older ones. So once again I've gotten over being anal about collecting everything on Dark Cloud 2 and I'm back to being addicted to Digital Card Battle.
DCB is another rant all together, when I first got it right after it was released in America I absolutely loved it. Mostly this is because I love the digimon trading card game but admittedly I don't have the patience to play it (or have anyone to play with) so I just collect the cards. But now here I've got DCB and I figure if I'm enjoying it this much why don't I go rent some other card battle games to see if there's something worth buying.
Fast forward a couple rentings later (PSO Ep. III, Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist of the Roses) and neither had topped DCB let alone coming close to being fun IMHO, just repetitive. Of course the first thought I had was that I'd gone completely fanboy and was dealing with that when my brother started playing the two games and before I took them back he commented to me that PSO was okay but shouldn't have been included in the PSO continuity due to it's weak premise and he thought the Yu-Gi-Oh game sucked ass compared to the real thing. Now my bro's not all that into the digimon games (series fan though) but he watches me play them all the time and he agreed that DCB is so far the superior card game we've seen in action.
Okay so fanboy or not at least now I know I wasn't alone in my opinion of digitized card games.
