playing gacha games seems pretty stupid. i guess they just blatantly manipulate people to take their money but they don't even seem fun

part of it is just horniness for virtual girlfriends

Most of the fun in gacha games isn't playing the game or getting the virtual girl

it is in the rolling and the possibility of what you get

the reality is just not as fun

Foretold by Gyromancy
Dragon's Dogma has so many weird mechanics but the pawn system is neat, especially how other players can use your pawns and then when you get them back they might have knowledge of quests or monsters you haven't encountered yet. And you can talk with them at special tables to change how they behave in combat. I only just made it to the capital which is where it seems like the game throws a bunch of new stuff at you like extra classes and stuff. Just gonna ignore the main quest for awhile and explore stuff.

I could see how the graphics and kinda boilerplate art direction could turn people off, but it's charming. I've been spoiled by how Elden Ring handles stamina because I hate how often you drain it just by exploring the overworld, even when you're not in combat.

if you find yourself caring about anything like this you should probably reflect on what you are doing with your life and if you actually enjoy it and why

well, as far as i can tell they backed off the ban because tencent told them to. and tencent is not substantially government-owned. that's it, china's over! they're making policy decisions in favor of gacha games by privately owned transnational companies! xi has lost the mandate of heaven!

The only 2 ways this Xbox thing could get funnier. The announcement isn't about exclusivity or it was Nintendo instead.
