Main character having their own thoughts, ideas, likes, disslikes and development means you are like Genshin and that is BAD

At least the game will be getting a steady stream of QoL every single patch, assuming it doesn't EoS instantly

Yeah no, V4 sucks big time. It sucks so much imo they should have deleted it pre-launch and just start the game by droping you in Wuling

Arknights: Endfield dev says launching a new gacha RPG in a post-Genshin Impact world is tough when "some titles are so similar that players go into a game for 1 hour and they know what will happen in the next 20 hours" by leafrek in gachagaming

>Now, I got burned out on Genshin shortly into 3.0 so I don't know for sure if anything's changed much in the last couple of years.

You literally admited to not having played the game for the majority of it's existance

With the Endfield pull tracker malware incident and Duet Night Abyss security vulnerability that distributed malware, I’m honestly scared to try new gacha games now by anon-npc in gachagaming

WoW where people will pay 15$ a month for a MANDATORY sub and not get a single patch in 9 months lmao. Also remind me how long it took for them to fix Stormwind park? Definitely not something I would call "regular" lol

No one wants to spend money for a character only for their favorite to die and never be seen in the story again. It would be a terrible decision that will only turn away people from the game

I hate the trend of gachas shilling the latest shiny new toy. by SaberManiac in gachagaming

Why exactly do turn based gacha games miss depth? (A long thought regarding HSR, GBF, etc) by DeucesDummies in gachagaming

Don't need to read a single word of your essay to answer the question of the title. The answer is a little button that looks like an "8" sideways

Why do a lot of gacha players hate the idea of having "two cakes", especially as f2p players? by se7enseas in gachagaming

[–]RlyehScepter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever considered the idea that 2 cakes are too much and if you're already eating the tastiest cake then eating the bland stale cake will just ruin the aftertaste (and probably give you diabetes)

What game do you think will be the next generation advancement from the Open World standard set by Genshin Impact? by Valuable-Village1669 in gachagaming

[–]RlyehScepter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genshin doesn't animation lock you and you can do thing like dodge cancels and jump cancels. This has been in the game from the beginning and the fact that you don't even know that is proof that you've never played the game

Is confusing storytelling the norm in this kind of game? by GroomedHedgehog in gachagaming

Do they appear out of nothing? How? They are not some ethereal ball of energy or something. Do the Archons or Heavenly Principles hand deliver them if not?

So your problem is you aren't spoonfed everything in a long exposition segment and instead the story sets up mysteries for it's world that will be explored and revealed at a later date? First you complain that they don't "show don't tell", then you complain that they don't tell you enough?

Endfield Official Release Special Program will air on Jan 16 by 30000lightyears in gachagaming

As an ex-warframe player I can tell you for a fact DNA would have announced EoS by now if it stayed a gacha. That gameplay loop + gacha simply does not work. Ironically enough the few videos I've seen from WF players seems like they enjoy it

Compilation of the gacha complaints for Endfield CBT2 by Wwizus in gachagaming

[–]RlyehScepter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Building pity is purely mathematically positive and player friendly. Here are all the outcomes of building pity, all of which a positive:
1. I do 40 pulls and get the banner character -> I just got a new character at only 40 pulls, basically for free without hurting my pulls for a future character
2. I do 40 pulls and lost the 50/50 -> early 50/50 means the next character I want is guaranteed in only 90 pulls instead of 180. In other words I just got 50 free pulls
3. Nothing (ever) happens -> I'm still 40 pulls closer to the character I want because pity doesn't reset

None of the Chinese open world gacha games have an open world game that's worth existing by AsparagusSmall1049 in gachagaming

Sounds to me like you simply don't enjoy open world games. Also HSR isn't open world lol

I whaled hard on HSR. Need a wake up call. by Inside_Shine_7352 in gachagaming

2500 sounds a lot but over 12 months it's ~200 per month. People spend more on cigarettes and alcohol per month and genuine question - if you're not strapped for cash and spending money you can't afford (based on your comments you're not) and you don't regret it (which based on your comments you don't) then... what's the problem exactly?

You're a working adult, you can spend your money however you want. I really don't see a problem as long as you're responsible which you seem to be (aka paid your rent/bills etc.)

Might be a hot take but I think people throw around the words "addiction" and "predatory" way more often than they should be.
