>>475I have never spent any money on gacha as I am not retarded to spend money on game they can just turn off next month. I have played f2p for 2 years and my game was shut down. I am glad I haven't spend a dime on this shit. The game was SIFAS they shut it down and SIF to to launch SIF2 the game famous for announcing that global is going live and is gonna shut down next month in the same twitter post. This made my realize that not even money but just spending time playing this is too much. That game demands you do kuso limited time events specifically when you not only don't want to play but when you don't have the time. It's not you who plays when you want but it's the game that plays you when it demands and it plays you like a fucking fiddle. Don't play any of this gacha crap.

PlanetSide 2 at one point introduced a gacha for implants, chips you could equip in sets of two at a time, and while it was often argued that they were secondary it's still the case that some of them were gamechangers, like Catlike 5's double jump height Carapace's full-HP for medic builds. Assimilate 5 was largely considered as close to BiS as there could be for heavies.
The system was very grindy, it sucked, and everyone hated it but reluctantly invested into it because some of this stuff was pretty important, though not as important as getting gear and upgrades that are guaranteed to be good. But, you know, the game can be quite janky when it comes to networking, and one day someone found out you could go to the menu, open the purchase panel, set an arbtrarily high number of units to buy, and, get this, if you disconnected your internet then spammed the purchase button, all your orders would go through! All of them! And you'd obtain a bajillion implants of all sorts of levels, dozens of the rarest ones, and also made you end up with an amount of held currency so low it'd show letters instead of numbers. This was kept secret, so it took a while to fix and when that happened everyone's wallet was reset to 0 muns but no implants were taken nor was any punishment meted out.
That was back in, not sure, maybe 2019? I forget. I did spend 10bux on an SMG, which wasn't necessary since I could've grinded it out with regular currency but it was the one time I wanted to get right there and then. Anyways, fun times.

>>517>The idea of a forever game people sink most of their money into really repels me since it mostly means that people will just sink funds into a single product/company. Then instead of having the motivation from prior success to develop more games the incentive is to just work on adding new things to the old game until it's no longer as profitable then shutting it down for a new shiny one the dev can coast off name recognition to ensure some semblance of success.I understand this, but some developers use the funds to fund other projects. FGO is so low budget that they've been using their gachabux to fund Tsukihime remake, Fate Extra Record, anime projects, and other stuff. NIKKE's devs also developed Stellar Blade.

There's still tons of them out there to read, and miraculously, still getting anime adaptations. Key was bought out by a Chinese giant (Alibaba or Tencent or something) because there was a Key gacha popular in China. But Key has an airing anime adaptation, so I guess they're licensing it out.
Cygames using their evil gambling money to fund stuff like Apocalypse Hotel or Bang Bravern makes me hate them slightly less.
It's not hard to avoid gacha stuff if you try, though, with some caveats. It's notable how the mass-produced girls in them from China or Korea has replaced a lot of the pop culture otaku psyche, though, like lolicons all gravitate towards Korea's Blue Archive.

I finally caved after years of holding out and downloaded some gachas last year. Even spent some money on monthly memberships. Though I always reached a point where I only logged in to do dailies to unlock new waifus, before burning out and uninstalling. They really are just regular video games but dumbed down and grindier.

>>10925Well, there's a free five star (standard) selector you can obtain right now. There's also a huge amount of content to go through for newer players, probably wouldn't have to worry about endgame stuff for a while. But once you get there, there's a decent amount of powercreep/bloated HP pools. But that's only for endgame content which only sweats take part in.

>>10924I picked it back up myself. It seems the main story's ending soon so I want to see it through.
The new region seems ok for now I guess. Some of the new areas gives me a Destiny atmosphere at least when I was first playing that game. I think I will burn out sooner or later.
Going back to Inazuma feels so nostalgic now. It was always nostalgic but it feels moreso now that it's been finished for years. I think it was the best region in the game.
The region had a lot of problems but it reached heights the game hasn't reached before or since.
I think it's a shame that new players won't experience it the same way. The spotlight won't return and even if it did it wouldn't be the same way. All the events are unplayable. The meta has shifted. Dendro exists now.
It makes it a bit eerie to think about now, like it's empty
Inazuma was mysterious. It felt like the region held secrets. Dragonspine was like this too and they even managed to continue the momentum with the Chasm, which everyone knew was a filler region. There was danger and threats. There were secrets to discover and stories to piece together. It felt like a world.
The islands seemed like they could keep going on forever. Enkanomiya felt like it could keep going, like it could even reach the Chasm.
Even now it still feels that way. Like one day it could just pick back up and keep going.
Once the game got to Sumeru it felt like all the mystery was stripped away. Not at the start but the more you played it the more it disappeared. I don't know how.
One moment it felt like something more, like it was becoming something more, the other I became keenly aware that it was a grindy gacha game.
Now when I think back on it it seems silly, but it did feel that way, for a while anyways.

>>11169For me it was Liyue. I remember traversing the mountains for the first time and seeing the sun rise over the other side and thinking it was pretty nice for a gachaslop. Inazuma was cool though and Signora's execution is still the peak of Genshin storywise, I don't think we'll ever see anything like that again. (game feels way too sanitized now)
Personally I think Sumeru is where everything started going downhill. They made up for it with Fontaine, but Natlan is when I dropped the game a second time. Absolutely abhorrent region.
I can't say much about the new region because I've only started exploring it. It's better than Natlan at least but that's not saying much.
