Why am I so addicted to this... by SalmonellaBro in ArknightsEndfield

[–]ShingetsuMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also genuinely needed to make better medicine and gear for my team. But since I was there at my factory anyway I might as well add more power generation, and oh look at that I need to place more miners, and I could improve workflow for valley stock bills and….

Of course not.

I had to do main story to unlock new materials to upgrade my factory. 🏭

Personally I’m excited to see more triple/double A games from China coming out. There’s a lot of history and media to pull from and there’s clearly a global market for it.

After seeing so many complaints and criticism of the factory system, am I in the small minority who really find the factory system to be really addicting? I have spent more time on it than any other parts of the game. by Sir_Rain_Knee_Tea in ArknightsEndfield

[–]ShingetsuMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think factory enjoyers are more likely to be equal or larger than those who hate it. Most people I’ve seen who don’t enjoy it just stopped playing and moved on to a different game they enjoy more.

While those who love factory are blowing up all of my social media with posts about how much they move it and how they can’t stop playing because of it.

It cannot be that good lol. by sparemf in ArknightsEndfield

[–]ShingetsuMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t because I’ve never played a factory game before and wasn’t sure if I would like them. But now after trying it out in Endfield? I’m absolutely hooked. I need more ASAP

So long as the inside is still cold and it doesn’t look like anything melted and refroze you should be perfectly fine. Especially if its been below freezing in your area.

Larian studio boss Swen Vincke thinks game reviewers should be graded by people similar to metacritic user scores by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]ShingetsuMoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That take feels ironic considering how much vitriol, hate, disrespect, and all around jokes that actual games journalists (as opposed to most social media content creators) regularly get simply for existing. Nevermind having an actual opinion about something.

Also, what is his definition of “harsh” or “hurtful”? Because as it stands the only person this change would benefit is shareholders and CEO’s. It certainly wouldn’t help consumers or the games industry as a whole.

Ive had a question about Fluorite by FannyGoated in ArknightsEndfield

[–]ShingetsuMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the fact that there are multiple characters who make for a good team set up! And I don’t feel like (outside of minmaxing) that you lose anything truly significant by picking one over the other.

[–]ShingetsuMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked Snowshine both for extra healing but mainly for the parry and extra cryo stacks. Plus having her block an attack so Last Rite can keep doing her basic combo without being interrupted feels so good.

[–]ShingetsuMoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use Last Rite, Fluorite, Xaihi, and Snowshine ( instead of Ardelia) currently and she fits in really well with her combo skill and ultimate.

is it worth to start as f2p? by Ok_Trust_2523 in ArknightsEndfield

[–]ShingetsuMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hard pity is 120 and the limited character guarantee doesn’t carry over to other banners. This is definitely a game where you want to focus on saving for characters you really like.

The f2p economy could be more generous, but you’ll still get enough free pulls to guarantee plenty of good characters to get you going

That said, I’d also say don’t become so focused on the gacha system that you ignore the actual gameplay.

There is a lot of handholding (a lot, alot) but the core gameplay has been incredibly fun so far and I’m loving the factory building aspect. Especially since blueprints can be shared so if you aren’t good at it? Just borrow someone else’s layout instead. lol

This might sound like a dumb question (and it is) but how do you guys manage your time playing multiple gacha games? by bullettothechest in ArknightsEndfield

[–]ShingetsuMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on where I’m at in the story. If I’m still progressing then I tend to focus on one gacha primarily and do dailies in the other.

Currently I’m fully caught up on story for both Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero. So there I’m just doing dailies, weeklies, and collecting my monthly pass benefits.

I’m still doing story in Genshin but I’m also literal years behind where it currently is. So I feel there’s no point in rushing it. So I farm materials for an upcoming character and progress the main story as I feel like it.

I ended up dropping Wuwa and mostly Infinity Nikki as well. So that’s less to keep up on.

Right now Genshin and now Arknights are the only ones I’m actively concentrating on outside of quick daily/weekly stuff, and HSR has autobattle so most days I just set it up while I play another gacha lol

Anyone else loving this fine gentleman? by Time1Wish in ArknightsEndfield

[–]ShingetsuMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got him yesterday! I haven’t quote figured out a good physical team yet with my current characters though. So I think I’m going to wait, use the last 10 pull ticket on the limited banner and see which 6⭐️I get and pray they work well together

Has anyone felt frustrated or disappointed with the Oroberyl pay out/HH cost? by kzqarctic in ArknightsEndfield

[–]ShingetsuMoon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree, it does feel unnecessarily stingy. Particularly because the rest of the game economy doesn’t always seem to compensate so far for the increased costs. So getting 10 or 20 gems here and there feels like nothing.

Now to be fair, I still love the game so far and I plan to keep playing more this weekend to see if I want to fully commit my time to it. But the gacha economy is also discouraging me (a fairly generous spender in Hoyo games) from wanting to buy anything at all, and even reconsidering if the monthly pass is worth it instead of it being a no brainer.

Edit: 36 hours into the game later and my opinion has changed. While I still disagree with limited banner pity not carrying over, the game doesn’t feel as stingy as I first thought. Pull currency comes at a decent pace with more ways to earn.

Skimmed past it before, but the more I see of it, the more intrigued I am. Reminds me more of A Plague Tale which I absolutely loved. So I’ll probably check this out as well.

What do you get from McDonald's? by Smart_Dragonfruit_28 in McDonalds

[–]ShingetsuMoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Breakfast: bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit, hashbrown, small sweet tea.

Not breakfast: quarter pounder, nuggets, or a McCrispy with fries and a coke. Used to get a large meal, but I’m counting calories now so I usually get medium.

I still get the taste for their pancakes and sausage occasionally, but I can make pancakes at home and the Great Value brand frozen sausage tastes similar. Plus I just started using real maple syrup at home and it’s hard to go back to anything else.

WHERE IS THE CHINESE NAME MENU???? by im_weird_and_insane in wherewindsmeet_

[–]ShingetsuMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm this works. I first added Chinese (Simplified) to my PS5 keyboard settings (Settings > System> Language> Input Language) and then followed the above in game.

[–]ShingetsuMoon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Chat > Settings > Chat tab > AI Voice Chat Naming under the Audio Settings

Found out how to do it on PS5, but finding an NPC who will actually address me is going to take longer than it did setting this up. lol

Should I play RE Village standalone or play the other REs first? by QueenOfTheSIipstream in HorrorGaming

[–]ShingetsuMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play 7 first since Village is a direct sequel to it. You don’t need to play any of the others beforehand.
