SOE summons Magic: The Gathering - Tactics 'Green Mana' trailer

This is looking worse with every trailer. Gutted after how awesome DoP was :(

Do I really need to spell it out for WotC?

Utilize Playstation Eye/Kinect and go Eye of Judgment style

I could insert some text into this comment box explaining how Yu-Gi-Oh! is better then magic but, that would be irrelevant so, I won't.

I tried to download the client and was taken on this endless loop of installing active x. SoE is crap forever no matter what they touch.

Everyone seems to be hating on this, but to be completely honest, this is one of the nicest looking 1st gen PS2 games I've seen in a while.

I played the beta for this and it was horrible. My machine could barely run it and it dragged my system down to the point that it was unplayable. I have a custom built gaming rig that's only ywo years old so I know it's not my machine at least not totally. I could stand to upgrade maybe the videocard again but it still shouldn't drag my system to a crawl.

Tactics is trash. I already gave them $10... and that's all they are getting from me. What a waste.

Wizards... Look man. I've bought your Planeswalkers game, twice already. If you been boasting numbers lately about sales for the game, why not keep hammering out more sales by having custom creation for the cards already in the game, make a matchmaking mode for only custom creation decks so the newbies new to the world can still have that easy and start selling booster packs and things like that online.

Because I'm not buying this game, nor do I care about it. When I think of Magic, I think of playing it on a table, Not some fantasy rpg that looks like it took ideas from other fantasy rpg's.

And I'll tell ya something else, when I cast my creatures, they don't move around the battlefield. Unless they get put in a graveyard or someone casts a persuasion/mind control and moves it under their control.

The game from what I have seen seems very much like a cash grab.

Without buying the additional content you are matched directly against people 5x your level. And it is impossible to actually trade cards (spells) they can only be exchanged through the Auction house, which lacks even a search function (ie type the name of a card), also the auction house has no sort by, only 3 filters to pick from. And every transaction sends 15% (rounded up of course) of the gold back to Wizard, who will be happy to sell you more for real money.

I know every game needs to make money, but there are more than a few "f2p" games out there that aren't exercises in self destruction if you don't give them a direct line to your bank account.

They do offer the standard "discount for buying in bulk", do you know where it starts at? $100, thats when you spend 2x what any regular game costs you get a minor bonus is currency which will self destruct over time.

tried to play and it would work
