Current Events > The worst part of Gacha games isn't even the Gacha systems

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's the daily questing and time limited events that make playing them so utterly exhausting, because you're not allowed to take a break without missing important things

Only reason Granblue hasn't burned me out with all that shit is being able to do other stuff while "playing" it.

For me it's the fact the games stop you from playing them. Stamina systems are anti gaming.

Limited amount of playtime, waiting x amount of hours to play the game again or buy some more energy to play again

fuck that bullshit

I used to be big on Genshin Impact but now I don't even bother to do the daily quest stuff anymore. I just pay $5 a month, log in, and collect my daily primo.

I have an urge to play Revue Starlight again but I know that seeing all the Junnas I'll never have a chance to get will just frustrate me

And you mostly only miss out on some crystals if you skip a day, at worst a tenpull if you skip an entire new event.

That's something I actually like about Marvel Snap.

It's mostly enough if you play a bit at the end of the monthly pass to get most stuff of their season pass. Missing a day or even a week deosn't matter that much (as long as it isn't worst case timing).

And yet I still don't play it anymore.

Timesink gachas are a problem, but games that are just skipfests aren't much better.

I wouldn't say they're the worst thing though.

Most games get around this a year in by showering players with stam drinks. It's usually not an issue by then.

Some games like NIKKE have no stam system, but still have arbitrary progression like power levels, plus daily limits on certain modes.

Genshin's main issue is the ungodly long and pointless dialogue on anything that matters, plus still no skip/fast-forward button.

At least they're finally getting around to partially rectifying this by making it so that you don't have to be caught up in the story to challenge certain bosses that are bottlenecking materials for newer characters.
