No, I can't stand those cash grabs. I have played some in the past, though.

I find Gacha games boring as all hell. I'm not the target audience for them.

Gacha is a negative and highly anti consumer method of monetization and I refuse to participate in them even in a "free player" context.

surprised to see multiple people in 2024 not know what gacha is. even outside of the context of these mobile games, the gachapon has been a massive thing in japan for ages, and feature in all sorts of media.

Yeah same, especially when I know some execs who don't know a damn thing about the video game market but are familiar with terms like FOMO, lootbox, battle pass, gacha, etc. Basically any predatory practice that will generate money lol.

DBZ Dokkan Battle for around 8 years, with breaks here and there.

Black Clover Mobile since day 1 Global, but don't really play regularly anymore. The bones are there but the production company is wildly out of touch.

Asocial, not introverted. Know the difference.
Maybe those JRPGs villains were on to something about humanity being trash.

Used to play DFFOO(rip) and before that a bunch of other ones. But after I got tired of DFFOO I said that's the last gacha-based game I'll ever play and I've held to that and not missed them.

So like is it just a loot-box opening kinda game? This article didn't really explain gameplay... or it did and it is just that foreign of a concept to me.

Yes, basically. I'm sure you've been exposed to at least Genshin Impact on some level at this point?

Technically gacha is just a mechanic not a type of game.

The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.

Genshin
Honkai Star Rail
Fire Emblem Heroes
Pokmon Go I guess technically counts?

Only one I spend any money on is Genshin.

Currently giving langrisser mobile a go, I think it's a pretty decent tactical rpg for a "free" mobile game nut I'm sure I'll hit a wall eventually.

Been playing AFK Journey with my fiance and having fun. Used to play a lot of Gacha and it was all 100% a time/money waste but I needed something to do on my commute.

I did that for a few year! Fun tactical RPG, but the equipment customization was a massive pain and the wall of "grind out all of this gear and character shards for the +3% effectiveness you need to beat the next level" got too steep for me.

Currently playing Gems of War. It's Puzzle Quest! (puzzle quest 3 actually sucks, imo). There's perks for playing daily. New troops and events are released weekly, with occasional bits of power creep. But it's a nifty puzzle, match 3 game with RPG mechanics.

Just know, to me, you're better late than never again.

Goddess of Victory: NIKKE
Artery Gear
Langrisser Mobile
Blue Archive
Brown Dust2
TenkafuMA!
StarLusts

Seems like a lot but most is stamina based and thus takes like 2-3 minutes to burn through it cause of sweeps.
Artery Gear i'm just in for the story now so once that's over the game is most likely gonna EoS anyways. Langrisser I just login for rewards and log-off until the rerun of Ronin Warriors happens.
Nikke is power capped and i'm stuck atm. BD2 I just started but not much for dailies either. TKFM and StarLusts are adult and StarLusts is a bullet hell so that's why i play that.
Why is it that the world can't spell "lose" or "woman" right???
