When we get more abuse from a single IP address than we do legitimate traffic, we really have no choice but to block it. If you don't think you did anything wrong and don't understand why your IP was banned.Īre you using a proxy server or running a browser add-on for "privacy", "being anonymous", or "changing your region" or to view country-specific content, such as Tor or Zenmate? Unfortunately, so do spammers and hackers. IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse. If you are responsible for one of the above issues. Having an excessive number of banned accounts in a very short timeframe.Running a web bot/spider that downloaded a very large number of pages - more than could possibly justified as "personal use".Automated spam (advertising) or intrustion attempts (hacking).It's pretty much the exact same formula, but with added cards and you're dueling different characters like Bakura, Marik and Dartz.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: I have played many of them and they're honestly great.
Now I absolutely can't afford not to mention the dozens of fantastic mods for these games and since they're PC games, it's no surprise there is a modding scene. That being said, Power of Chaos' duels are much faster, more satisfying to control with a mouse, have a replay feature where you can save and watch your duels (remember when I bitched about Tag Force not having it lol) and the exclusive focus on 1 character increases the impact of dueling against that one specific character, especially Joey whose deck evolves based on your performance, instead of based on events in the story like in Tag Force.
This is mainly because the Tag Force series is a serious contender for the top spot and they're honestly much more complex games with an actual world, a fuck ton of characters, summoning animations and many more cards. Ngl even though I'm part of the PC master race and the only console I have is an old 3ds where I almost exclusively play gen 6 Pokemon games, I can't say with certainty the Power of Chaos series are the best Yugioh video games. It genuinely feels like you're just dueling him on the concrete somewhere in the inner city and I love it.
Check out the bottom left and top right corners of Joey's makeshift spray painted duel field and you'll see there are opened soda cans as well as the graveyard areas which are sewer hatches. In the Yugi main menu it seems like they recreated the scene from the tablet where Atem dueled Kaiba, but this time it seems he's dueling an Egyptian god that looks kinda like Anubis. Yugi is ancient Egyptian themed, Kaiba is futuristic technology themed and Joey is urban street themed. Just looking at that monster makes me fired up.Ī few more interesting things to point out are the different visual designs within the games, whose presentation is made to suit each respective opponent. There were a lot of legendary battles between my warriors buffed up with United We Stand and Mage Power and Joey's army of Kinetic Soldiers lol. When this motherfucker hit the field and attacked with 3350 atk, shit went down for real. This wouldn't be so bad if the cards you receive through winning duels are new, but that's not a guarantee so if you already own a good chunk of the cards, getting those last few can feel impossible without downloading a save file with all the cards unlocked. There is no mechanic where you buy packs unlike other games so winning a small amount of cards as a direct result of winning duels is unsurprisingly a pretty slow way of collecting all the cards and improving your deck.
This also leads to the series's main problem, which is not as severe in Yugi the Destiny, but becomes worse as the future games offer more cards. This game also established the formula for the rest of the series, which focuses on dueling exclusively one character where you get 1 card per won duel or 3 cards if you win a 2/3 match. On one hand, this limits your deck choices and playstyle options, but on the other it makes gathering all the cards much easier than in the future games. That being said, as the first one it's also the most basic one, having only 155 cards, which can seem laughable by modern standards. Yugi the Destiny was the first Yugioh game on PC, which was a somewhat big deal since it also used the actual real rules of the game and none of those weird mechanics some of the previous games had.
