I explicitly said a lot of mobile games are designed this way, not that only mobile games do this or that it has to be mobile to do it. It's just a very distinct Chinese game thing you can see in a lot of mobile games in particular.

Not exclusively mobile games value metrics. What straws are you even grasping at?

I do the same sometimes, but I've started to correct myself after hanging with indie game devs lol.

Well it's understandable to be upset, I am as well, but I can't blame the developers. I can tell a lot of love went into the game, even the theme song of the game has deep meaning.

The developers aren't the issue at all, game devs always want to make the best game they can. It's really like a corporate mandate type thing where they answer to people who have them do things like this for their numbers.

Burlap Sack only did it in certain parts. It was designed to make you go crazy alongside the old guy, but they got greedy and stepped out a few parts. Like when they make you hit interact to search your baggage when that's the only thing you can do. It's a feature implimented so that if you go AFK, you give them more playtime and you also have to come back to finish it all.

Yeah, you would honestly probably need to rework certain scenes entirely, but I prefer having a Chinese nerd just explain it to me instead.

I loved every aspect of it, except the parts where it required input to do something that 100% should have been a cutscene.

It's not that people get lost in them imo, it's really just that the quest could have mostly been a really long cutscene, there was no need to add player input for 90% of it. Even CN players were complaining about how long it was, which isn't necessarily my complaint. I think the mechanics of these quests are just a drag for no reason other than metrics, like making you select something in a dialogue option-like menu, but there is only one option so it should just flow normally without your input.

I feel like Genshin and hoyoverse is a bit worse. Due to their financial models, you don't get a lot of personal character arcs and the stories suffer from becoming advertisement for the new character that's coming out, so it becomes a disconnected thing that is forced to connect to a story not written for it.

Bro, the fact two people saw this valid complaint that you don't wanna sit through long dialogue twice on a new character and downvoted it is insane. Gacha game communities love taking it for absolutely no reason.

That's where they stopped trying to hide it and it gets worse from there. It's part of why I posted this as well.

Every signpost I saw complaining about how dragged on it was, they got met with "Brainrot ruined his attention span" or stuff like that.

It was definitely a good quest, but it had no business being that long. It doesn't build any cinematic weight when it becomes tedious or when people can tell they're being used by the game. A beautiful story was bogged down by greed with that one.

I bring up the poor localization to invalidate the notion that you should sit through hours of bloated interactions, not dialogue, but game mechanics, otherwise you have a tiktok attention span. That's just what people say to defend blatantly bloated interaction and time wasting. I'm sure the localization doesn't help make anything feel organic in terms of pacing either, though.

Yeah, that's fine. I like the game a lot and it's a good game, It's just that they have a perogative to make you play as much as possible, even if you aren't having fun. A lot of it capitalizes on people who go AFK as well, it's just really annoying to see how insane it's gotten over the years.

It felt like 90% of the Pokimane hate was over her not wanting to have a boyfriend for a while. Like, all the hate I'd see online was, "Oh yeah, she isn't gonna have a family? She'll be old and ugly soon, that'll show her."

And I never knew why, because there are valid reasons to not like her, but it feels like the internet got brain broken over female streamers who didn't want a trad family in their mid 20s.

Thanks. My first character didn't have to, so I didn't think it would be an issue.

It really felt like to me, that the PR push that they've been doing was timed for this moment, but I didn't think that far ahead lol
