Squad is now Xing, Qing, Barbera, and Fischl. Bought to be lightning count overloading these hoes.

Have you played a sports game this decade :gucci: you sound ridiculous. They literally got casinos

shyt, it must be crazy how the EU almost changed regulatory laws over Star Wars Battlefront 2 but this only gets heat on reddit from weirdos who believe you should be able to put 1000 hours into a game in under a month without ever seeing the same content or being gated. I'm all about some criticisms but when did it become the move to dikk ride minority opinions while obviously lacking context?

They didn’t bring any criticisms they were just rambling some nonsense about original IP and development costs :dahell:

No, I don't play sports games. I basically only put serious time into JRPGs, Fighters, or the odd spectacle like GOW. sports? Them shyts have been trash for over a decade now. This game gates you from progression of any meaningful way once you get around 30-35. You literally can only run around and respawn chests after your resin is gone. Want to do more actual content? pay up for more resin.

If you enjoying the game cool. Not everyone is fine with the silly ass monetization they have. Even by gacha standards its far and away the worst display of the shyt I've ever seen. The wayYa'll claim to be serious gamers on here and can't see how some people find the fact that to play a 5 star char to their full potential costs thousands is bizarre to me. You can enjoy this game and admit that its also greedy fukkery. And no being F2P doesn't absolve because we all know they stand to make far more with this model than if they just sold it at 60 a pop and it wasn't a resin or wish system.

These conversations always lack nuance. There’s a substantial game on offer even before you each adventure rank 30. I’ve been playing it non-stop for over a week and I’m not even there yet plus still have a few quests to do. Maybe it does fall from a cliff at that point, that in itself doesn’t invalidate all the hours that came before it, for me at least. Seeing as this is a F2P game I’m not surprised there’s some sort of gating of progression at some point. People can’t just expect to keep getting stronger, min-maxing their builds and team comps and trivializing the game, especially when, as previously said, it’s a F2P game.

That said, that doesn’t mean a better balance of progression gating and monetization can’t be reached or should be strived for. From what I’ve seen, there’s a substantial number of people that are unhappy with the state of the game and the devs should definitely address it for the long term health and wealth of the game/community

Then you ain't seen shyt :mjlol: Most Gachas won't even let you play without a Resin-equivalent tax. Let alone grind. Anyone saying you can't do anything without that is straight up ignoring the fact that the other 2/3s of resources you require in the game got nothing to do with it. And if you're talking Gachas on pulls then a character in this game is a hell of a lot more bang for the buck than a .jpg of a stat sheet like other games. You talking about it being the worse when other games will make you use a resin equivalent to get gear, to craft/upgrade it further, and then tell you it takes 48 hours to finish while asking you to pull the credit out again. Fire Emblem wouldn't even let you use the PVP half of its game without paying the tax. Ace Combat Infinity limited you to 3 missions every 3 hours.

The last Ghost Recon and Assassin's Creed games both literally advertised microtransactions as "Time Savers". If anything, this game left money on the table by not dropping a costume or accessory shop feature day one. Even the pulls aren't anywhere close to the bottom tier because they throw you usable resources and ways to just exchange for what you need.

You talking out your ass for what :russ: to co-sign people that want to bring Real Money Auction House/Diablo 3 energy to a PvE game that you're encouraged to play at your own pace at every turn? Do better breh

Not true. And you claim I'm talking out my ass. I've played dozens of gachas. Only one I felt constrained by stamina was Arknights. In GBF you literally can't grind away your stamina. :ld:

I'm not responding to most of this foolishness. I'm amazed you're literally caping for a company to nickel and dime you lol. Its entirely possible to call out the dumb ass shyt they're doing and also enjoy the game so far. You defending this like you have stock in Mihoyo.

I don't know what game you've been playing but its already real money diablo 3 (getting a perfect artifact is hilarious) energy in this shyt. Does it not cost thousands to max out a 5 star? Would it not cost on average 10k or so to get every 5star? And even pulling that 5 star its not like you can level them immediately if you've been leveling your team already. Can whales not play more by paying for more resin? You say people are encouraged to play at their own pace but the game hard caps the amount of progress you can do a day? You need to do better yourself breh.

I mean you like the game more power to you. But acting like people are being irrational that this game isn't setting a bad precedent as being the first AAA gacha and making bank is type weird.

Lol... Is this game gonna ask you to pay? Yeah. And it damn sure it alone in that regard. Is it the worst ever? Breh - I've named off worse in every single response. That's not caping. That's you being on some other shyt saying this is the worst you ever seen. Overwatch had a pull system that was rewarding motherfukkers with voice lines. Halo 5 had a whole game mode for pay to win. Activision got caught in CoD with a matchmaking system that forces the haves against the havenots. Entire characters that prop up a story get sold and maps get put behind paywalls in multiplayer to legit extort people into paying money so they can go back to playing with their friends. I can think of half a dozen ways that this game could've ran the score up with this one off the top of my head.

And here's your dramatic ass: Never has a mainstream game been so blatantly anti consumer as this. :damn:



The fact you talking about a F2P game that's got a solid 30+ hours in it and not sports titles that are openly predatory, games that had trade commissions on their asses, or recent releases that charged more for skins and cosmetics than this game's whole battle pass is jokes and shows you're dikkriding someone else's discussion. shyt, you can't even get to the shop, wish, or battle pass system in this game without putting time in whereas other gachas hit you with the sale screen before the main menu loads. And if you're out of stamina - you can grind something else. Crazy right? Its a whole ass open world game you can find something to do or go fight enemies that aren't tied to stamina. They're everywhere. And you need more of those resources than you do from stamina-based encounters :dead:

And if you're at the point where you're even close to being constrained by stamina/resin, then you've put more time into this game than any other game that's been out since its release. That doesn't make you the average player, it makes you the extreme minority. And the extreme minority in every community should damn near always be ignored.

And you talking about some "Setting a bad precedent" :mjlol: Like we ain't got games out here charging for cosmetics during early access and full price beta testing. This is selective outrage and fake mad at the same time
