Done I am number 71😅

[@JeffRivera]

The 1000 tokens for a duplicate card is the worst. Zabu was in the spotlight, and I pulled a duplicate Zabu base card for 1000 tokens. So not only did I not get the cool variant, I also traded a key for 1000 tokens. FEELS BAD, MAN.

[@Hithere-hb7tx]

At least it wasn’t back when you only got 100 credits. I got 100 credits for a galatus dupe before it was for tokens.

[@JC-gv9ik]

That sucks happens to me 2 they need to hurry and fix that at least make tokens 1500 or 2000 I wouldn't be that annoyed

[@MrHatato]

that's fucked

[@RickReasonnz]

Do you mean this week? So you could have pulled 2 Zabu's?? Oh geez...

[@aidenstumme]

Yep lol unlocked Elsa then immediately got her again from the random card 😅

[@NotoriousFox96]

I played Snap from launch up until May of this year. I realized I was sinking too much time into it trying to keep up, but getting continually frustrated at falling behind in card acquisition. Arishem’s looming release was the final nail in the coffin; I wanted nothing to do with that meta from the jump. A few times since, I’ve missed Snap’s gameplay and almost gone back before realizing how far behind I now am and how that would just exacerbate my prior issues. It’s such a fun game but I can’t go back until card acquisition is improved significantly. Pokémon TCG Pocket however is scratching that itch enough I might not go back anyways. I don’t mind the more casual feel of battles as it puts less pressure on me so I can play it as a time killer instead of trying to grind out as much as possible to chase cards. At least at this early stage, it’s easy enough to get free hourglasses that I’m opening 5 or so packs a day instead of 2 and I’ve only spent $0.99 so far. It’s a fun little experience that I will probably enjoy for quite a while without sinking anymore money into it, and I wish I could say the same for Snap because it was so fun for so long.

[@Dellroth]

Thank you for the honest comparison Nina! I absolutely loved the video and you bring a great perspective with your time playing snap. I tried coming back to snap a couple months ago after not playing for 6 months and only lasted about a week. It feels so bad to constantly go up against cards you have no chance of acquiring in the near future as you go up the ladder. I'm really hoping Pocket adds a ladder quick which will really give folks a reason to say on the app outside of their 2 packs a day.

you get it and many others do too, but why would sd only cater to the like the small percentage that always play for dailies and such, makes no sense to make onboarding new players sooooooo hard and to alienate returning players, truly ridiculous decision making and a gong show of an org chart at hte op co.

[@DogginsFroggins]

The main thing I'm glad about is Pokemon pocket forces competition, so Snap can get their monetization in order. Im a newb to both and Snaps gameplay is the main key, but if it starts to drag I'm glad pocket is a viable alternative.

[@vivapr6136]

As a former Pokemon TCG online player, I can assure you teading does not make it less expensive. Even if you have EX cards you want to trade of those are not meta cards people wont want them and they will be asking a lot for the ones that you want, the ones that are most coveted.

[@Navue-cn2tx]

Tcg pocket seems like child's play for regular TCG players huh

[@fallguybuddy2654]

Thanks Nina for bringing us this comparison all the way from NZ. 😜

[@parvusprinceps628]

I am watching but not playing SNAP anymore because I was out of the game for 3 months. Under this circumstances i cant start the game anymore although i like to watch you guys playing

[@ninaisnoob]

Maybe you can come back if they make the returning player experience better!

[@parvusprinceps628]

⁠@@ninaisnoob you will inform us about it 😅

[@doctor-goggles]

Cautiously optimistic about Pocket. I haven't played Snap in several months after going on a 7-month/8-try streak of needing all 4 keys to unlock a card, falling from 3 cards away from collection complete to more than 12 away. Sure the system is fine when it takes an average of 2.5 keys to open a new card, but someone has to fail in order to bring the average to the middle, and that someone is me. The gameplay is not *nearly* compelling enough to deal with that forever.

[@jahmurcy]

I've bought borders in cosmetics just to find a semi-useful way to use my gold, amazing video all FACTS!!!.

[@ninaisnoob]

[@xvromo1362]

I know I’m late to this video and I’m only half way through but i wanted to take the time to say i appreciate the work put into this I’m getting a lot of information (on specifically Pokémon pocket since i haven’t played it) of how it compares to one of my favorite games and whether it’s worth checking out atleast casually, thank you nina!!

[@irnbru5496]

For Snap: Only avatar I ever considered buying was the "I got a rock" bundle and that was early on when I see the Monetisation being fair I dropped out for 2 months or so maybe not even that long but just scaled down and played less for a small time and now I feel like I can never get back into the Meta... They really need to change the system as its just not feeling good at all now

[@V1Variant]

Same!!!! When I saw the rock bundle I was like hell yea that's worth my money 😂 after that I was like nope no more lol

[@coolshirtkid]

i feel you so hard on the sunk-cost fallacy 😂 pretty much the only reason i still play snap at this point. i’m so tired of the hamster wheel money hole that it’s become, but i have every card and the gameplay, art, and universe are so good still

[@deliro8758]

Honestly just quit, I played so many games which I felt this way about and was better off after quitting every single time

[@coolshirtkid]

@@deliro8758 i’ve quit the game for a month before, i’m definitely thinking about it. i just enjoy the gameplay and im not interested in any other card game

[@alphshift7857]

i really hope with the existance of pokemon pocket ccg marvel snap feels pressured to give us better monetization or card acquisition system, I don't mind if snap gets trashed and compared everywhere with pokemon pocket if it'll give pressure for the devs to ease up on the card acquisition

[@Joenah5]

The biggest issue with Snap is the card acquisition. As someone who only started playing a couple months ago the game feels like unless you started playing at the beginning you’re a second class citizen. It’s actively hostile to new players (once you’re out of pool 2). I really hope their plans fix it, and soon.

[@arbo6850]

I actually have bought an avatar or two with gold! The one I really wanted was the Peach Momoko Jean Grey because I had been playing a Jean Grey/move deck for like...7 months and had it all gold and really wanted that specific avatar to go with it. I think golf for avatars is fine, but rare ones should be 100 gold and super rare ones should be 250. 400 gold is ridiculous

[@slayer4mayor]

Awesome video Nina! Great casting this last weekend. It was fun listening to you roast Dera 😂

[@FNnametag3]

Your shorts are great. I started snap early on then life got complicated. Got back and you are right. I am waaaayyyy behind. I see a collector score of over 10k and i sometimes have to auto retreat even though im a serious spender too. Makes me hate the ads on marvel snap by the creator "what would it be like..." *skip* not true

[@Faltzerbeast90]

You've spoken about a lot of topics regarding the card acquisition which have been made known for sooooo long lol. They really need to change the tokens so either its a new card or a duplicate is 2000 tokens that is still 3 weeks of dups instead of 6 (with bad luck). I think 3 weeks of bad luck is way better

[@brianl2799]

Thanks so much Nina for giving such an honest and candid critique of Marvel Snap. Other streamers out there seem too careful to avoid offending Marvel to give such blunt assessments that are helpful for the devs to see (ahem, Cozy) for the benefit of free-to-play (or even reasonable spending) gamers. You're the best. Also, you have really upped your game with the quality of your streams with the cool graphics, etc. Keep it up! Lastly, love your Marvel Snap streams since it is the only mobile game I play.

[@WhitieWu]

3:38 what you said here is absolutely true and one of the biggest reasons I stopped playing Snap.

[@amgunnn]

I spent my gold for the pixel Modok avatar and it’s the best purchase I’ve made in this game.

[@ninaisnoob]

ok i respect that

[@luisd.gonzalez1215]

Cant wait for the worldwide release. Im not a big fan of competitive games, so pocket feels like a good alternative. Ill still play snap, but much less. Im f2p anyways, so im not missing that much

[@227happyboy]

I bought a Morph variant avatar (Looking Good Variant) because it was centered so well unlike most avatars. Like it was made to be an avatar.

[@JaysCashVault]

This video deserves a million views Nina

[@YoSaKiZ]

Well said Nina! Marvel SNAP became a Gacha game the moment they released spotlight caches. They even introduced gacha monetization aspects like the 30days gold and the double gold 1st time purchase. Ofc they are removing the later because as they said it was devastating for the game's economy, which is the wrong move. No idea who is responsible for those decisions but I have lost any little faith that I had for SD.

[@nuruhu5122]

I finished series 3 at 4600 CL. I can only imagine those that are joining the game now. And there will be drops in December that will make it even longer. They are not paying attention to what is happening.

[@RickReasonnz]

The fact that there is NO catch-up mechanic aside from whipping out your credit card is severely telling. Wouldn't hurt them to offer low CL players additional Collectors Tokens to get them up to speed. I started just after launch, and I cannot imagine starting afresh now.

[@nuruhu5122]

@@RickReasonnz the one thing I know I needed was more tokens but a better idea would be a series 3 vault in which once players have enough tokens, they could buy the Series 3 cards they want directly and not wait for it to show up in the shop or have to wait for the RNG of opening a cache to get it. That coupled with more tokens would help them tremendously because they would have unlocked series 4 and 5 cards as well. It’s a frustrating grind and I know that once there is a catch-up mechanic they will keep more players.

[@RickReasonnz]

@@nuruhu5122 Hm. Series 3 Vault would be useful. Even a random 3 they don't have per week at maybe 500, 1000... and while they're at it, they could reduce the Colllectors Tokens required for S4 and 5! For a casual player jeeeeez it takes so long to amass enough for a card. 2500/5000 would be nice.

[@Aditya-gx1xv]

Bro im at 1700. Dont even have a wong or mystique yet. I had a to BUY a venom even. And i keep getting trash variants or pixel variants. I recently got daredevil and quake. It’s like the purposefully don’t give you the useful cards.

[@nuruhu5122]

@@Aditya-gx1xv I kid you not, Mystique was the last series 3 card I unlocked. I was so sad through my entire series 3 grind. I hated getting variants from the caches. I did no understand that part. Why give me variants when I still have cards to unlock. It was so annoying.

[@135bpmCoffee]

Such a fun video, thank uuuuuu. Hope pokemon will change SDs views of their player base to the better eventually. It never really „felt“ good to play Snap, meaning the most joy you feel is when you get internal revenge on your opponent or when it’s finally your turn to the get the combo of after 10 times failing in a row, which in both instances isn’t really a happy thing… idk, I think you know what kind of feeling I’m trying to describe. It doesn’t even feel good to spend money btw so I stopped a long time ago 😅 anywhosle, much love from sunny Berlin xx 🖤

[@Antonychief7]

Perfect analysis and a great video ❤

[@sirparish]

The pocket meta is one of the things that I hate the most about Snap and I don't feel like it gets much attention. As much as I enjoy some meta shifts, whenever a new card releases or when a card gets changed for the better it's very annoying to play with it. Either you play a lot of mirror matches, or you play with people trying to counter your new card deck, it's very unfun. As much as I like new additions, I think I'd enjoy them a lot more if all cards of a season were released together monthly, like an expansion, would take a lot more time for people to test new decks, the pocket metas wouldn't be so aggressive.

[@ninaisnoob]

I agree wholeheartedly. I make a youtube video for every new card and it's always a rush to get it out asap. It's a miserable experience playing the new card at release but it's something I have to do 😭

[@feefore1605]

If the datamines are correct then tcg pocket will be getting a mini set dropping in December and a full set in January. So it might get a full set dropping every 3 or so months.

[@FatherOfTwo]

Iv been on snap since launch and yes i feel the same snap is getting expensive , excited for pocket feel like its a breathe of fresh air .

[@thasard]

I'm an avatar buyer, but only in the gold shop. I wish they were more freely provided because I think it gives the gameplay a little personality.

[@kyanupryce]

Personally I’ve never been able to get into Pokémon but grew up with marvel so snap will always be on top for me but as a free to player it’s so damn long trying to keep up with some players that already have everything😂AND as someone that loves getting variants and cool splits the gold acquisition for free to play players is dogwater.

[@jafethl.5181]

Thanks for talking and emphasize economy in MS, I know they have to make money, otherwise it wouldn't be free, but hopefully SDs can make it more accessible to people who only want to play for entertainment and sometimes spend money to get some variant, because yeah, if you stop playing, as it happened to me, you will feel like you can't get to date in cards since everytime they are realizing another one and when you spend an spotlight key you get a dup and trade it for only 1k tokens .-. Great video, keep going like that :D. P.S. I'll give it a chance to Pokemon

[@mattblack392]

Ive bought a few avatars. 8 bit lizard being my favorite

[@shayneworkman8690]

A fix for Pokemon Pocket from getting stale but affordable would be to adopt a similar strategy to what Legends of Runeterra did. Introduce mini expansions periodically in between Major expansions. It might feel awful to drop 200 every month as opposed to every three or four months, but not so bad to drop say 50 A couple times in between the 200 . Legends had a good system they just screwed themselves by giving away TOO MUCH for something that frankly a juggernaut like Pokemon could charge pennies for and still net a fortune.

[@ninaisnoob]

if datamines are to be believed, that's exactly how they're going to do it! looks like we're going to get a mini set in december and a full set at the end of january!

[@rayman17420]

SNAP NEEDS cosmetic boards. I only ever buy card variants and never touch borders, emotes, or any other cosmetic but I'd buy pretty much any game board cosmetic SD adds. Even if you only see the board on your screen (though they could have the option available to see your opponents board and if they're using a cosmetic you can use it too would be nice). But anyways I'm surprised SD hasn't added or at least mentioned cosmetic game boards in their road maps. Just seems like a no brainer to me (but maybe it's harder to implement in the game than I think it is- idk)

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

In the end it comes down to what game I have more fun in during the time I'm using the restroom lol. I've played Pocket TCG as well and although the quality is pretty high up there, the actual gameplay portion isn't really too exciting. I don't get the same itch as I do in Snap where I want to try out a new deck or play. A new combo that sounds good in my head (usually absolute crap in practice lol). I didn't really get that same itch with Pocket TCG. It felt like 70-80% card collection and the actual battle feels like just a little bonus. Definitely hope they expand on that more than on people spending money on packs but so-far every single mobile Pokemon has had some kind of paywall. PoketTCG didn't look too bad, so I hope it stays the way it is. That said I've played Snap since launch and kept playing. A new player? As you said in the video I don't know how well that experience is going to be. There's no good catch up mechanic. Snap should offer some small boost for getting Series 3 complete like either 12000 tokens, 8 keys, or your choice of 2 Series 5 cards. Something. I don't feel like anyone absolutely MUST own every single card in the game but it is true that the acquisition in Snap is abysmal if you aren't in a higher CL and even then you still have to take your pick of the month. As we get more and more cards release as Series 5 it just makes it increasingly difficult to compete in the meta, especially if they aren't doing anything about improving acquisition. Definitely excited for more competition though. Hopefully it's large enough in the space to get SD to rethink some of their business strategies.

[@Jaytrocious]

I buy all the Magick Avatars. Cause i love her character.

[@sunnymederental3703]

been playing since beta on pocket, been playing two accounts since launch on marvel snap, my honest opinion is that there will be more players playing pocket and content and twitch creators will realize that and follow the money leaving brode and sd devs to rejuggle this economy, i think 5 - 8 dollar bundles are going to be rampant. once people realize that pocket has no location balogne and way less toxic without the emoting that might be the more chill game to play. hopefully new cards will come out in pocket to keep the chase alive. take care.

[@adrenalmoon787]

Card acquisition is way better in pocket. F2P since soft launch and have a good amount of chase cards and competitive decks built. Gameplay is way worse though. Lack of unique animations, turns take to long, and Misty can end the game turn 1.

[@losserrano3347]

After playing for a week…. While i do agree witha bunch of this, i must say pokemon is prolly more of a cash grab than snap is….. like i get every new season and try really hard to grind for keys to keep up with the “meta”….. but polemonnnnnn 😤😤😤😤😤🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬!!!!! Card packs!!!!! Realllyyyyyy!!!!!!’ Like who isnt gonna spend moneys to open damn pack!!!!! That being said in a week and only 45 bucks later, im only missing 13 of the base pokedex cards and have the animated charizard and the gold crown mew2!!!!!’ Snaps combat is wayyyy better…. Much quicker!!!! The combat in pokemon kinda slow and stale… i can imagine how crazy pokemon will get when we can trade cards!!!

[@JeremyTepper]

I bought the Dan Hipp Helicarrier avatar because it's so cute!

[@ninaisnoob]

ok that one i can understand

[@marvelnube]

While I love the honest comparison, I felt like that it's not fair for those who are not as lucky as you as that member of your community. Been playing Pocket everyday (getting the 2 packs + opening using hourglasses) and I only managed to get 1 immersive art Pikachu and 1 crown Pikachu (already considered myself lucky for these). Have been opening Mew and Charizard packs and still haven't got either immersive nor crowns 😅 And I really do think it's incredibly important to highlight that in the end games and devs need to make money. In Snap, aside from the spotlight caches, getting a card is guaranteed, whereas in Pocket you need to accumulate pack points to be able to trade it for the cards you want. That is Pocket's "spark system" similar in many gacha games. To get an immersive or crown is out of the question unless one's a whale. 😅 Plus opening packs only to get all commons or just 1 rare cards sucks a lot. Finally, about splitting and flaring. Everyone can split cards in Snap as long as we got the credits and boosters, whereas in Pocket we need dupes of the card. Couldn't imagine doing that for crown rares or immersive arts

[@jemtong]

Stopped SNAP few months ago cuz it’s burning my time to chase resources & also burning my money. However, the immersive game play is why I still watch Snap creators play online and recent updates of cards. But all through another players’ eyes 😝

[@CarlosPieri]

great video, Nina!

[@Kyriakoskazan]

I actually purchased 2 avatars. One was from a scream variant that I thought it looked good and the other one was the living tribunal. I can confidently say that was the worst decision I have ever made on the game since I later was short for a gold bundle I wanted. DO NOT BUY AVATARS. 100% GUARANTEED THAT YOU ARLEADY HAVE ONE THAT IS ALREADY GOOD ENOUGH

[@cooljoe1920]

Battling is more fun in Snap. Collecting is more fun in Pocket.

[@arianna_uchihahi9517]

I came back to snap at early August after being away for 3/4 months and it really made me disenfranchised from the app. Dont get me wrong i still love snap but they truly have to do something about card acquisition. Because if someone asked me today if they should try marvel snap I would tell them no. I can't imagine how overwhelming it must feel for new players 😢

[@clemonsjovan]

I started day 1 stopped playing until recently, last month to be exact, I don’t have all the cards by any means I’m missing so many series 3 it’s not even funny, but with that said I did hit infinite the last two seasons 100p f2p so idk seems alright to me. I wish I could play more deck types but I’m slowly collecting its nice

[@hunter4229]

My issue with Pokemon is it's gameplay is very simple. The full TCG itself is already simple, the mobile version is even more simplified. You can basically math out turns very easily and know who wins and there's no counter play or randomness that can change that. I understand the complaints with randomness, but that's the price to pay for games to not play exactly the same every time.

The whole revenue part is very misleading at the start. It splits all the marvel heroes into individual franchises for the comics. The MCU is a single "franchise" but if you scroll down you will see spider-man alone with a revenue close to 10B for examples. Then iron man, thor, hulk etc. When you add them all together it gets way closer to pokemon

[@adamn7777]

Definitely gonna check out pokemon pocket when it comes out globally. I've seen enough positive reviews of it from people I trust. As for snap I stopped playing before the sebastian shaw season because I was so fed up with both their unwillingness to meaningfully nerf Loki and whatever scam they were trying to pull on players that month (they don't do it every month but at the time it really felt like every few months they were trying some other get rich quick scheme to screw players). At this point I am so far removed from the game that I doubt I'd ever go back because I'm over a year behind on cards and can't play anything competitive anymore. Frequent balance changes are great but the clunkiness of the card acquisition model means if a card isn't perfectly balanced on release there's gonna be angry players if it's too good then players that can't get it are angry and players that bought it only for it to be severely nerfed are angry but if a card is too weak then the players that got it on release are angry because they wasted a key on junk and when it gets buffed players that didn't get it and now can't are angry.

UI is baffling, half the time i dont know how to find what and where i can look for what i miss and what i have. The hype over this game cuz its a pokemon game but the game is beyond bad. Snap is far from a good game with those bad and greedy devs but its 5x better than pokemon

I would hope Marvel Snap would be bettet Pocket atm just because Pokemon isn't even out yet and Snap has a 2 year! 🤣 That said....crazy Snap still doesn't have boards to get and Pocket is starting with them.

[@RickReasonnz]

The board situation is so laughable. Most every CCG has fancy boards. It's just a background, how hard could it be to implement?

[@azncarnage]

wouldnt event play snap or pocket if Legends of Runterra still had full support =( RIP LOR

[@RickReasonnz]

I feel the same about Gwent

[@dark3176]

I hope Pokemon TCG overtakes Marvel Snap. Maybe they'll start to give us better gold bundles and stop giving 1k tokens for dupes. Also, the lower rarity stuff should be higher in number. But the number of series 5s are like 3 times that of series 4, which is absurd. It just goes to show you that behind their fake smiles they are just a bunch of insanely greedy people. Your money and time is all they want. Also, getting the titles and avaters even before you complete series 3 is so stupid. At least let people complete series 3 collection. They are so sneakily greedy.

Your face is hyper rare! (and i mean like, your face has a rare beauty unseen outside of a full art Eevee card)

[@Serik4005]

Best TCG is Gwent!! Try it please!!

[@ninaisnoob]

Isn’t Gwent dead? 😭

If the actual game was worth playing, Pokemon Pocket would be good competition. As is, it's UnoTCG. Zero skill, nothing interesting to talk about. Play cards you draw until you win 😴

damn girly did research with those graphs

[@jrocthewarlock5659]

You unlocked the entire card base in Pokémon in 3 days? That is a massive L for me.

[@RickReasonnz]

Yeah. I want CCGs to have good acquisition, but if you can get em all easily, then it really does take some shine away from it.

[@PoroMancer]

Pokemon feels way worse to me, yeah Snap is far from perfect, but opening pack after pack of the same crap in Pokemon is way more frustrating to me, and the biggest issue is that there is no real incentive to play in Pokemon. It feels like they really just wanted to emphasize the collecting aspect in Pocket, time will tell.....

[@jeffsenecal4168]

Pokémon cant gatekeep the cards from toy.. its a new game.. they need to be able to let you get the cards to play.. Soo.. look how much Pokémon has made... there the most expensive cards you can get.. soo how that look for the future of monetization. Why is it ok for Poket to be given a brake cause its soo new, but no brake for Snap for being old.

[@jasonloh6792]

The meta is kinda boring. Not enough chances for interesting synergies. Most everyone playing mewtwo, pikachu and charizard with a slight variation lol.

[@V1Variant]

I went from loving marvel snap to only playing in while im on the toilet lol they ruined that game...i even tried a new account just to see what it would be like now and i lasted 2 days and was like nope lol not doing it ....i feel bad for new players

[@DjBaejay]

thank you card game mommy

[@eizhamm4820]

Snap has gotten worse overtime. The state of the game is stale. I am excited to try something new I dont expect this review to be accurate as i have to play the game myself and compare in my shoes
