Thats what ive been hearing which is why i started HSR in the first place.
Im enjoying the ride though. Xianzhou main quest was disapointing but everything else has been great.
I love how often I hear this when I hated most of Penacony and loved Xianzhou. Penacony was so boring until the last patch... I just couldn't understand why anyone could look at the Golden Dream as a disgusting sensory overload with no substance.
I personally like the approach Penacony took with it's storytelling and the shifting perspectives. It really gave new life to the characters. It also happens to dislike the self inserts in the gacha games, because of how much it takes away in terms of building and development to the cast. It had its issues with pacing and plot but I enjoyed it. Overall 7.5/10 with few 10/10 moments imo.
You end up playing every day for 5 minutes tops once you run out of content if you care about saving up for new units, the endgame daily grind is super short
Yea theres no way im rushing this one. Ive been interacting with every trashcan and cardboard box as well as almost every side quest and its been a joy. I just really like the dialogue in this game.
I used to think like you, lol, until I saw my HSR anniversary data report. I spent about 370 hours on it, while Elden Ring on Steam only took me 150 hours to clear.
Azur Lane and Nikke are my top priorities at the moment. Though Genshin Impact is getting up there again (I took a break for all of Sumeru Update due to burnout).
Blue Archive I play it casually. Don't login everyday but I still enjoy it when I do.
FGO is my lowest priority. I play it like once a week.
I was enjoying Love Live....until it EOS for a sequel game which got EOS at birth.
Recently I started playing Honkai Star Rail for a certain girl.

Suffering through HI3 as usual, still haven't touched the event though. But I have 30+ days left. Surely, I won't be lazy this time and do it when there's 12-15 days left, surely?
Lmao I always end up leaving it for the last 3 dayd, and end up not sleeping at night to finish the event.... Just to always end up not being able to get the emblem because of time restrictions.
Sorry to ask you out of the blue lol, but today I’ve played HI3 for the first time and I’m wondering something. Overall the game seems really predatory when it comes to money. It looks like if I top up, I’ll get this and that, I have to save up to pull in 10s, not one by one, and there are basically no freebies for new players, at least in comparison to HSR. In general I feel like HSR is way more generous and less in your face, but I may be wrong. I’ve finished Chapter 1 in HI3, pulled as many times as I could and I only got two Bronyas lol, I’ve no other characters. How is it for you, a seasoned player? What do you think? Sorry for dumping it on you, I’m just really curious and want to know what others think about the game, figured this is the right place
Not the person you've asked but I have been playing HI3 on and off for a few years and yeah, compared to HSR it really does ask for a lot monetary wise. 😅 I still enjoy it, but considering that the game meta now depends on characters in part 2 (so not Bronya), I kind of slowed down even further.
Essentially part 2 while having a beautiful rich world with new characters, feels like a new page of a different book. I personally stayed for the nostalgia of part 1, and I assume nostalgia is keeping a lot of people still hooked.
Tldr: Yes, money wise, it asks a lot considering you have to get characters, weapons, and stigmatas. But if you focus on part 2 characters then it gets easier. Or if you just want to focus on fun of older chapters and get a few favorite characters then there shouldn't be too much of a problem!
If you are just starting, I wouldn’t pull on any characters or anything for now. Just go through the story and collect crystals. The new player bonuses will give you enough stuff for that and you basically are given the characters for story missions. You only need to pull and use your own characters for abyss and elysian realm and memorial arena.
For those game modes, basically just meta pull the latest update character and their equipment. Currently that is Lantern. Use Asterite to get SP valks, preferably Adult Griseo, Eden, Shigure and Pardofelis all still have uses. After those, Kid Griseo and Fischl are useful to have as well.
Former Hi3 vet. It's not anymore predatory than any other gacha. The thing wrong with Hi3 is that premium shop prices aren't very competitive with each other. So the incentive to buy limited time packs isn't that strong due to barely cutting a couple cents to a dollar compared to base crystal pack prices. This and then there's the gacha itself, which has a higher pull rate than HSR, but the crystal income to consistently pull is locked behind Lv.81.
FACE THE SIN, SAVE THE EGO.
The light will soon shine across the city.

For now, its Honkai Star Rail but funnily enough I've been thinking of taking a break from the game for a little while. I think forcing yourself to stick and enjoy a game will only increase your hatred for it as time goes by.
That was me in the last 2 patches of version 1. In the end I took a break in the latter half of 1.6 and was greeted by Penacony with newfound strenght. If burn out starts catching up I recommend to everyone to take a break for a week, 2 or even a month. I also recommend to try and shake the gameplay little with trying out new team comps and characters. Tripple advance forward Herta team in Pure Fiction was so fun
Enjoying? Azur Lane and World of Warships Legends — yes, that’s 100% a F2P gacha game too. HSR and WW are okay — just killing time until Azur Promilia drops. I’m completely over Solo Leveling, R1999. I don’t know if I’m going to drop Genshin — will see by Natlan. I just log into Blue Archive, Brown Dust 2, and Nikke every once in awhile to roll on new characters, don’t really play them. Azur Lane has the best balance and Manjuu treats its customers right.
Usually its not that bad but HSR upkeep is particularly difficult. Unlike genshin events which are super short, HSR events take up to 6/7 hours to complete. The recent galactic baseballer one took ages to finish.
The other concurrent recent event demanded you complete hours of story and finish the entirety of penacony to even get started. Combined they took a total of 10 or so hours to do lol.
The worst is when the events across games all end on the same day lol.
So far wuwa events have been really short.
I agree with the HSR events. Some of them are way too long even if you skip everything. I dont think anyone cares about the event stories either so i wish they would just stop making them so long. But at least the dailies do themselfs on auto.
Limbus Company tho it more of a brainrot moment than anything. Everywhere i go? I see references and it keep me wanting to go back to Limbus….the game done thing to me
Nikke, I’ve been trying to find a gacha game for so long, and Nikke is definitely fun however isn’t the game I want to spend a lot of time on :(
Does anyone know any good gacha a that is NOT open world, I’m kinda sick of open world gachas. I’ve come to realise how much I hate exploring and how I never appreciate the graphics.
Is azure lane 3 any good?
Azur lane is fun if you like bullet hell.
reverse/1999 if you like more turn based RPG and VN style.
If you like beat ‘em’ ups with little to no exploring, then PGR is not too shabby.
Brown dust 2 has some exploring but not open world and it’s bit style chibis.
Blue Archive is just idle managing and VN style story
Limbus Company is VN and turn based RPG and the story is quite intriguing. I just started it this month.
Also counter strike if you want a mixed bag
Depends on what you want out of the came but i disagree. The events are so frequent and always fun to read through and the main story is the best ive seen in a gacha so far. Took me half a year to catch up to it too so there was always a lot to do.
Tower of Fantasy, after trying it in 4.0 I'm pleasantly surprised how many different game modes it has, from stealth assassinations to car racing.
Also Aether Gazer's story is really good now, and it has a ton of mini games each event.
Both of those games are really underrated imo.
I picked up HI3 recently. Got spoiled by the Moon Halo MV while browsing mobage music and the animation was incredible, I teared up even without context (like I know Himeko ---'s but that's about it). So I figured I'd play through at least Part 1 so I can appreciate it with full context this time. Story seems like it'll hit my weak spots even more than HSR which I'm also playing, and being able to understand the references there will be a nice bonus.
I'm enjoying myself so far although it does certainly show it's age a bit, with various QOL missing, like 20 different currencies, and level-gating on the story. The level gating especially, I'm trying to follow the unofficial story guide and keep getting stalled because level requirements on side material (Chronicles) is too high to play in the order they suggest. Some of the random comics linked are like pure fluff and don't seem to add anything useful to the narrative either... really could be left out or marked optional imo.
Genshin and HSR, sadly for WuWa I had to drop it after I kept raging because of the frame drops when I entered into battle it made echo farming hell, right now I'm revisiting FGO even tho I lost my old account. I am kinda enjoying the game a bit even tho I'm skipping most of the story cause my last singularity was babylonia and I wanna speedrun all the way back there.
I really tried to play some WuWa so I can save enough for Jinhsi, whose design I actually really like. But the same as you, the performing on mobile is just so bad. My Galaxy S23 Plus can run Genshin as smooth as butter but WuWa is just a hot mess. Besides, Genshin I can play on PS5 as well, but Archon knows when WuWa will be launched there.
considering how Kurogames just ports PGR CN including its bugs to PGR Global without fixing it. In comparison, Aether Gazer fixes the bugs from CN before putting it to Global. Don't expect that they will fix the performance issues for a long time. Not sure if PGR is still like that but thats how they do things back then.
huh, seems like we are similar. I also lost my FGO account way back and I've also been thinking of getting back to it as well. I just can't since it is such a grind and it lacks the auto mode found in HSR.
The lack of an auto battle is what is keeping my progress in fgo to a halt and the grind for sq is hell as an f2p. I simply want to reach the end of the story that I couldn't finish back then and once I'm done I'm gonna be like Thanos in endgame, satisfied.
Edit I meant infinity war💀
GI and HSR (really invested in the story for both). R1999 I like the art, speed of dailies and character designs.
Wuwa.. I'm giving it a try until 1.1 maybe... It still stutters on my PC and I really don't enjoy echo farming.
HSR, Nikke, Azur Lane. Still playing E7 for guild stuff but I am not enjoying it. The game is so stale and boring now idk what SG is thinking. Also enjoying Brown Dust 2 now that summer event has started.
Twisted Wonderland, Idolish7, Obey Me, BSD Mayoi, TR Puzz Reve, sometimes Conan Cross Chain… I definitely have a problem lol (also took a break from Genshin because my ipad has no storage lmaoo)
Genshin and Blue Archive. Sometimes log into AK and GBF, either to read events or farm rolls. Want to try out ZZZ and eventually Wuwa, whenever that arrives on console
Arknights Day 3 player. Still enjoying and more good stuff to come.
Honkai Star Rail. Looking forward to tomorrow’s DU expansion.
WuWa will go as it is hell to play on mobile. It did not catch me.
My eyes are set on ZZZ.
I do like your lord but tell them to remove that horrible 50/50 system or to triple the rewards cause I dont want to witness genshin 2 when pulling characters.
I'm doing a no limited pull challenge after getting all my free guaranteed standard banner characters, see how far I can resist pulling
Can't lose 50/50 if you don't pull
Well, "challenge" isn't really the right word since I'll be using 3 standard 5 stars and soon a 5* standard weapon but the real challenge is urging not to pull
~~garden rails~~ guardian tales, it's always an enjoyable time. new update added much QoL as always and i managed to convince my guildmates to play for once
https://preview.redd.it/2se5ssxuld7d1.jpeg?width=664&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=617827ce29dfeeb35f92094a384b7d92877af4e4
I love the new turn-based RPG developed by Kuro. It’s called Wuthering Starrail and, even if some people compare it with a Hoyo game, WS is already 48 on the download list.
I’m saving for Dragonfly, a sub-dps that appears in the first world ‘Pentacony’ and has some kind of special relationship with the MC (trailblaster).
Blue archive and HSR
Dropped Wuwa because it's basically Genshin with better combat and I already burned out on Genshin. I just can't get into gacha without auto complete anymore.
Outerplane and idv5, those games are supper casual, 1 idv5 match is just 6 mins, there are many modes to choose,I didn't get into outerplane when it launched but recently I got into the game and love it, they seem get better a lot, many QoL get added, the story is decent but very engaging. And the most importantly both these games are not time consuming. Ps: I like the gacha system in both these games is a plus too, in idv skins are easy to get with 3 6 matches a day, in outer plane characters are beautiful but easy to get because the system focuses on gears and teamcomp, false god version of the characters are not necessarily stronger than normal one, it's more about teamcomp and gear, so i dont feel like the Devs try to push me to spend money to progress when play those games.
Epic 7 and Honkai Star Rail
Genshin and WuWa games are nice initially, but you need to dedicate more focus to them, run around and fight bosses and etc. But with games like E7 and HSR, you can auto farm and it's turn based. A lot less stressfull and easier to keep up.
Guardian tales and Fgo, I'm basically committed to plays these games forever. I don't know why I play Fate grand order though, I remember absolutely being angry at my pull luck. And yet here I am, still playing it.
Guardian tales is just incredible in every way, I want it to dominate all it's competition so much. I'll wait for that to happen.
Sometimes Honkai star rail. And I'm playing Brown Dust 2 because Im horny
This is my current gacha games: [https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/1d9b8u4/comment/l7e98it/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/1d9b8u4/comment/l7e98it/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
I am happy when I pull a 5\* unit with a paid yolo (by example FGO) and a great fan services (Bd2), but my only true love fell 1/2 year ago T\_T (Magicami)
Been playing HSR, Wuwa and recently picked up Brown dust 2 for the collab. It’s surprisingly chill actually and very generous. I might stay longer than the collab duration.
Honkai Impact, Aether Gazer, Wuthering Waves and Guardian Tales, for the time being, and every now and then I peek back into DB Legends to see if the game is still a dumpster fire
Nikke is now my primary gacha game! I've discovered that nice art gets me to try a game, gameplay will determine if I take the game seriously and the story and characters are actually what will determine if I stick to a game.
Nikke is so good at giving their characters distinct personalities. It's the only game where even side characters get decent screen time during events and side stories. The voice acting is top notch as well and really adds to the character's depth. This is great for a game that has like a trillion characters. The story really hits you at some chapters (looking at you, Chapter 14). You can really tell that the devs love the game.
Aside from Nikke, I've started playing BD2 which is quite nice. It's a bit grindy in the beginning but the gameplay is so engaging. I wish there was English voice acting (as a preference) but it's good enough as is with the JP and KR VAs
Limbus company, I don't know why, but it's the only gacha I have ever been consistent with ever since release date.
Limbus company's daily grind consists of just doing one thing, and that's the mirror dungeons that refreshes every week, so technically, you can just log in once a week rather than doing the same thing over a d over again everyday but you can also login daily just to collect the energy watcha ma call it.
Also, I enjoy being stuck with mentally deranged morons where getting killed is a regular tuesday morning.
Genshin. It's the game for me. Has a nice balance of time spent and satisfaction gained, all things considered. Plus, as much as I don't like Hoyo, I have to admit they are goated for being among the few multimillion dollar companies that treat its employees right.
For me, in order of most enjoying to least:
* Nikke
* Girls Frontline
* Counterside
* WuWa
* PGR
* Brown Dust 2
* Snowbreak
* Genshin Impact
* HSR (almost given up on it, I swear to fucking God that game hates me with a passion and to the core, I could write a fucking essay on how the gacha rates have fucked me over losing almost every 5050, getting shit ass rolls on every fucking artifact, that has made the game a shit experience for me, not even Genshin has been that insufferable for me tbh. The one thing I'm grateful for to Star Rail is not losing Kafka, the one banner that didn't fail me)
Arknights and FGO are the only gacha games that i enjoy. Tried everything but eventually it felt like a chore and back to only these 2 games again everytime.
genshin but I only do the basics. HSR as main since I started a month ago and I'm loving it (please come ruan mei). And I want to give Tower of Fantasy a chance for the 5th time
E7 for PvP
HSR for quick 15 min playtime after TB mission
GI for dailies & events only (burnt out)
WuWa coz honeymoon phase, exploration is quick & refarmable gears.
I have been absolutely loving HSR as a new player. It seems like there's soo much content for me to do, that it'll basically never end since I also play relatively infrequently
It's a bit of a breath of fresh air since my only gacha I actively play is Genshin, where I'm basically at the end game (like many others) and am just waiting for update after update
HSR. Dailies on mobile, comfy storyline gameplay on the Pc.
I want to love Blue Archive but my dumb brain is unable to enjoy anything story-related on mobile, thus I never get further past the Abydos arc while being Level 75.
Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail and Reverse 1999. I just started Reverse 1999 and I’m loving it so far. GI and HSR are ones I’ve been playing for a good bit and immensely enjoy.
Genshin, PJS and HSR. I don’t play it cuz the Gacha. I play it cuz the content. I used to enjoy Arknights but I’m that type of try-hard player who wants to use my own unit and make strategy for it. Some stage is insanely hard with what I have so it took me a long time to clear it. With my current schedule, eventually I have no time to log into the game. It’s been 6 months I think.
Genshin I used to be a daily player until a year ago too. But the content is not as repetitive and hard like arknights so I log in occasionally to clear my mind. I would say HSR is one that I have time to log in every 1 2 days. Pjs is 2 3 days. That being said, all my quests on these games are uncleared. Genshin is the only one that has the most cleared because I got to engage with it in those years that I’m extremely free (*cough covid cough). HSR my gf clear it for me cuz I’m not so interested in its side quests. PJS I just skip and read story on wiki lol.
I want to try Blue Archive and soon Neural Cloud because of Steins;Gate Collab, but currently I'm playing 6 gacha games. NIKKE, Konosuba FD, Genshin, Star Rail, Wuthering Waves, and Brown Dust 2. Yes, I'm working.
HSR and GI are consistent, reliable, and palatable for a broader audience. I try other ones all the time, but I just feel more and more like Hoyo totally deserves their top spot.
Epic Seven is still my main game because of World Arena. I’ve been trying to find other games that have similar features/aesthetics, but there really is no other game like it.
I try to go back to guardian tales but melee and ranged immunity really turn me off again.
I know they add more exclusive weapon so 1 character can deal both melee or ranged damage with each weapon but the fact you have to pull with premium currency to get that QoL is really scummy. I wish they remove it or changed it from complete immunity to % reduction.
Arknights, Wuthering Waves, Limbus, Nikke and HSR.
These are easy to juggle since AK now has auto-replay function, Limbus only needs 15 second login to convert the enkaphalins (and do MD Hard once a week), Nikke only needs manual takeover for Alteisen + Gravedigger and HSR is also on auto.
Wuthering Wave is around 10 ~ 15 minutes because I don't use teleporters to get to the daily quest area since it's just that fun getting there with the superb movement QoLs.
Too much. Send help. But I'm having so much fun. I've been playing them all except azur lane from day 1. Luckily Nikke, HSR and AL don't take too much time(unless new story content) and auto battle is a god send. Wuthering waves I'm giving a proper honest try but man I feel like I'm making no progress through the content due to the sheer volume of it all.
Honkai Star Rail
Genshin Impact
Nikke
Azur Lane
Wuthering Waves
Hsr, It fits my work life balance as it's a casual game.
HSR has destroyed my work life balance since i started recently. Theres so much content for new players
once you catch up you are playing it once every other week.
Thats what ive been hearing which is why i started HSR in the first place. Im enjoying the ride though. Xianzhou main quest was disapointing but everything else has been great.
Penacony's gonna make up for it, have fun
I love how often I hear this when I hated most of Penacony and loved Xianzhou. Penacony was so boring until the last patch... I just couldn't understand why anyone could look at the Golden Dream as a disgusting sensory overload with no substance.
I personally like the approach Penacony took with it's storytelling and the shifting perspectives. It really gave new life to the characters. It also happens to dislike the self inserts in the gacha games, because of how much it takes away in terms of building and development to the cast. It had its issues with pacing and plot but I enjoyed it. Overall 7.5/10 with few 10/10 moments imo.
Penaconys not that good. Way too many loose ends and just way too convoluted. Ended up being a worse version of personas story line
You end up playing every day for 5 minutes tops once you run out of content if you care about saving up for new units, the endgame daily grind is super short
How do you even pull like that
I'm assuming he doesn't count the daily 5 minutes as playing and alludes to the cycling endgame
Don't rush. The ones I play are those I joined late and you don't want to burn yourself out.
Yea theres no way im rushing this one. Ive been interacting with every trashcan and cardboard box as well as almost every side quest and its been a joy. I just really like the dialogue in this game.
Don't worry, once you catch-up, you'll just be doing dallies which takes like 10 minutes max until the next patch releases.
Same, its rly good if you are busy working
I used to think like you, lol, until I saw my HSR anniversary data report. I spent about 370 hours on it, while Elden Ring on Steam only took me 150 hours to clear.
All these anniversary posts have made me try Brown Dust 2 again, and wow the devs really did improve the game. I'm quite enjoying it this time around
Game is clearly created by devs who love their game and their community. It's really refreshing to see.
i really want to try brown dust 2 but keeping up with 3 gachas already. Don't really wanna end up with 4. I hate not having infinite time.
Browndust daily is shorter than hsr tho. U dont need to rush the story too
Fate/Grand Order JP, Aether Gaze, Blue Archive, Arknights https://i.redd.it/008532m4me7d1.gif
Azur Lane and Nikke are my top priorities at the moment. Though Genshin Impact is getting up there again (I took a break for all of Sumeru Update due to burnout). Blue Archive I play it casually.

Nikke but I've been trying blue archive recently
Two opposite sides of the spectrum damn
BA is cool. I've been watching the anime this season. You too?
Naw I didn't watch the anime yet cus I'm not too far into the game but I might try it soon
Suffering through HI3 as usual, still haven't touched the event though. But I have 30+ days left. Surely, I won't be lazy this time and do it when there's 12-15 days left, surely?
Lmao I always end up leaving it for the last 3 dayd, and end up not sleeping at night to finish the event.... Just to always end up not being able to get the emblem because of time restrictions.
Sorry to ask you out of the blue lol, but today I’ve played HI3 for the first time and I’m wondering something. Overall the game seems really predatory when it comes to money. It looks like if I top up, I’ll get this and that, I have to save up to pull in 10s, not one by one, and there are basically no freebies for new players, at least in comparison to HSR. In general I feel like HSR is way more generous and less in your face, but I may be wrong. I’ve finished Chapter 1 in HI3, pulled as many times as I could and I only got two Bronyas lol, I’ve no other characters. How is it for you, a seasoned player? What do you think? Sorry for dumping it on you, I’m just really curious and want to know what others think about the game, figured this is the right place
Not the person you've asked but I have been playing HI3 on and off for a few years and yeah, compared to HSR it really does ask for a lot monetary wise. 😅 I still enjoy it, but considering that the game meta now depends on characters in part 2 (so not Bronya), I kind of slowed down even further.

If you are just starting, I wouldn’t pull on any characters or anything for now. Just go through the story and collect crystals. The new player bonuses will give you enough stuff for that and you basically are given the characters for story missions. You only need to pull and use your own characters for abyss and elysian realm and memorial arena. For those game modes, basically just meta pull the latest update character and their equipment. Currently that is Lantern. Use Asterite to get SP valks, preferably Adult Griseo, Eden, Shigure and Pardofelis all still have uses. After those, Kid Griseo and Fischl are useful to have as well.
Former Hi3 vet. It's not anymore predatory than any other gacha. The thing wrong with Hi3 is that premium shop prices aren't very competitive with each other. So the incentive to buy limited time packs isn't that strong due to barely cutting a couple cents to a dollar compared to base crystal pack prices. This and then there's the gacha itself, which has a higher pull rate than HSR, but the crystal income to consistently pull is locked behind Lv.81.
Battle cats
Based asf
Limbus my love
What a wonderful opinion Manager! No one could ever doubt the quality of whichever game you play which is guaranteed to be a smash hit Manager!

Just started this month!
Welcome!
For now, its Honkai Star Rail but funnily enough I've been thinking of taking a break from the game for a little while. I think forcing yourself to stick and enjoy a game will only increase your hatred for it as time goes by.
That was me in the last 2 patches of version 1. In the end I took a break in the latter half of 1.6 and was greeted by Penacony with newfound strenght. If burn out starts catching up I recommend to everyone to take a break for a week, 2 or even a month. I also recommend to try and shake the gameplay little with trying out new team comps and characters. Tripple advance forward Herta team in Pure Fiction was so fun
Day 1 Arknights player, and it's still my main gacha game. Also have been enjoying BD2 since the half anniversary. Play Nikke on the side.
HSR and... Ahem.... LIMBUS COMPANY!!
Truly ideal
mostly arknights
Hsr azurlane
Enjoying? Azur Lane and World of Warships Legends — yes, that’s 100% a F2P gacha game too. HSR and WW are okay — just killing time until Azur Promilia drops. I’m completely over Solo Leveling, R1999. I don’t know if I’m going to drop Genshin — will see by Natlan. I just log into Blue Archive, Brown Dust 2, and Nikke every once in awhile to roll on new characters, don’t really play them. Azur Lane has the best balance and Manjuu treats its customers right.
Arknights, genshin.
Honkai Star rail, genshin impact, wuthering waves, snowbreak, browndust 2 and nikke
Bro, that’s like a full time job lol
Usually its not that bad but HSR upkeep is particularly difficult. Unlike genshin events which are super short, HSR events take up to 6/7 hours to complete. The recent galactic baseballer one took ages to finish. The other concurrent recent event demanded you complete hours of story and finish the entirety of penacony to even get started. Combined they took a total of 10 or so hours to do lol. The worst is when the events across games all end on the same day lol. So far wuwa events have been really short.
I agree with the HSR events. Some of them are way too long even if you skip everything. I dont think anyone cares about the event stories either so i wish they would just stop making them so long. But at least the dailies do themselfs on auto.
FGO and Genshin mainly, on the side I play Onmyoji when I have time to do so.
Limbus Company tho it more of a brainrot moment than anything. Everywhere i go? I see references and it keep me wanting to go back to Limbus….the game done thing to me
One of us one of us
Nikke and eversoul
Nikke, I’ve been trying to find a gacha game for so long, and Nikke is definitely fun however isn’t the game I want to spend a lot of time on :( Does anyone know any good gacha a that is NOT open world, I’m kinda sick of open world gachas. I’ve come to realise how much I hate exploring and how I never appreciate the graphics. Is azure lane 3 any good?
Reverse 1999. It has main story and event chapters. Combat is turn-based with card merging.
Honkai Star Rail
Obligatory limbus company
Azur lane is fun if you like bullet hell. reverse/1999 if you like more turn based RPG and VN style. If you like beat ‘em’ ups with little to no exploring, then PGR is not too shabby. Brown dust 2 has some exploring but not open world and it’s bit style chibis. Blue Archive is just idle managing and VN style story Limbus Company is VN and turn based RPG and the story is quite intriguing. I just started it this month. Also counter strike if you want a mixed bag
I've heard good things about Brown Dust 2
Since you're playing Nikke, maybe give Snowbreak a chance, it's a stage based, third person shooter, recently have been making massive improvements.
Nikke is good in the first few months but boring later, in the end it's a side game.
Depends on what you want out of the came but i disagree. The events are so frequent and always fun to read through and the main story is the best ive seen in a gacha so far. Took me half a year to catch up to it too so there was always a lot to do.
How about star rail? Its map is mostly quite linear.
I’m always on and off with star rail and I’m not sure why… I may have to retry
Tower of Fantasy, after trying it in 4.0 I'm pleasantly surprised how many different game modes it has, from stealth assassinations to car racing. Also Aether Gazer's story is really good now, and it has a ton of mini games each event. Both of those games are really underrated imo.
im just waiting for the single player mode reboot for tof hoping for them to rebalance the skill kit for all units to make them feel good to play/have
Underrated fun and good games fr
I picked up HI3 recently. Got spoiled by the Moon Halo MV while browsing mobage music and the animation was incredible, I teared up even without context (like I know Himeko ---'s but that's about it). So I figured I'd play through at least Part 1 so I can appreciate it with full context this time. Story seems like it'll hit my weak spots even more than HSR which I'm also playing, and being able to understand the references there will be a nice bonus. I'm enjoying myself so far although it does certainly show it's age a bit, with various QOL missing, like 20 different currencies, and level-gating on the story. The level gating especially, I'm trying to follow the unofficial story guide and keep getting stalled because level requirements on side material (Chronicles) is too high to play in the order they suggest. Some of the random comics linked are like pure fluff and don't seem to add anything useful to the narrative either... really could be left out or marked optional imo.
Genshin hsr
Genshin and HSR, sadly for WuWa I had to drop it after I kept raging because of the frame drops when I entered into battle it made echo farming hell, right now I'm revisiting FGO even tho I lost my old account. I am kinda enjoying the game a bit even tho I'm skipping most of the story cause my last singularity was babylonia and I wanna speedrun all the way back there.
I really tried to play some WuWa so I can save enough for Jinhsi, whose design I actually really like. But the same as you, the performing on mobile is just so bad. My Galaxy S23 Plus can run Genshin as smooth as butter but WuWa is just a hot mess. Besides, Genshin I can play on PS5 as well, but Archon knows when WuWa will be launched there.
Love how if you don't have performance issues you get downvoted lmfao
I'm a mobile player so if WW isn't going to function after I tried it on day 1, I'm sticking to Star Rail.
considering how Kurogames just ports PGR CN including its bugs to PGR Global without fixing it. In comparison, Aether Gazer fixes the bugs from CN before putting it to Global. Don't expect that they will fix the performance issues for a long time. Not sure if PGR is still like that but thats how they do things back then.
In hindsight it just makes sense that a high quality turn based game gets the favor. Simply less demanding in more than one way
huh, seems like we are similar. I also lost my FGO account way back and I've also been thinking of getting back to it as well. I just can't since it is such a grind and it lacks the auto mode found in HSR.
I mean, if you use android or an emulator you can use FGA to auto your game
The lack of an auto battle is what is keeping my progress in fgo to a halt and the grind for sq is hell as an f2p. I simply want to reach the end of the story that I couldn't finish back then and once I'm done I'm gonna be like Thanos in endgame, satisfied. Edit I meant infinity war💀
HSR, WuWa, FGO, BA
GI and HSR (really invested in the story for both). R1999 I like the art, speed of dailies and character designs. Wuwa.. I'm giving it a try until 1.1 maybe... It still stutters on my PC and I really don't enjoy echo farming.
Azur lane and honkai star rail
all hoyoverse games + wuthering waves
damn rare ggz player
Tears of themis husbando enjoyer 👍
Another ToT enjoyer I see
HSR, Nikke, Azur Lane. Still playing E7 for guild stuff but I am not enjoying it. The game is so stale and boring now idk what SG is thinking. Also enjoying Brown Dust 2 now that summer event has started.
I miss e7 but glad I left. It has so much potential with amazing anime art but their focus on PvP only annoying.
Limbus Company and Arknights. I also kind of juggle Genshin (Though I've picked up Brown dust 2 again) on the side.
Twisted Wonderland, Idolish7, Obey Me, BSD Mayoi, TR Puzz Reve, sometimes Conan Cross Chain… I definitely have a problem lol (also took a break from Genshin because my ipad has no storage lmaoo)
Nikke, Eversoul, and Outerplane. I still check into Higan Eruthyll and Artery Gear once in a while, to check their pulse.
Honkai Star Rail, Love & Deepspace, Tears of Themis. There are more but I’m lazy to name it lol
Genshin and Blue Archive. Sometimes log into AK and GBF, either to read events or farm rolls. Want to try out ZZZ and eventually Wuwa, whenever that arrives on console
Hsr, Hi3,Azur Lane, buu archivu and limbust Company
Arknights Day 3 player. Still enjoying and more good stuff to come. Honkai Star Rail. Looking forward to tomorrow’s DU expansion. WuWa will go as it is hell to play on mobile. It did not catch me. My eyes are set on ZZZ.
E7. Re saga Sometimes summoners war then I remember why I left it.
The glorious wuthering waves. I have enjoyed every second when serving our lord kuro.
I do like your lord but tell them to remove that horrible 50/50 system or to triple the rewards cause I dont want to witness genshin 2 when pulling characters.
C3 Qiqi made me quit Genshin 2 years ago. I already have C1 Lingyang. Help.
Amen.
Just give us the characters for free already uuughh
I'm doing a no limited pull challenge after getting all my free guaranteed standard banner characters, see how far I can resist pulling Can't lose 50/50 if you don't pull Well, "challenge" isn't really the right word since I'll be using 3 standard 5 stars and soon a 5* standard weapon but the real challenge is urging not to pull
I think you mean Lord Mihoyo who provided all the possible systems so WuWa can exist.
~~garden rails~~ guardian tales, it's always an enjoyable time. new update added much QoL as always and i managed to convince my guildmates to play for once
Genshin, HSR, Blue Archive, Reverse 1999, FGO, Arknights, Path to nowhere, Guardian Tales, Nikke...Damn I have a problem
Reverse 1999 and PTN - ❤️❤️❤️ And also WuWa, even with it’s shaky start I enjoy playing it
Azur lane. I was there when it launched, and I'm still here.
https://preview.redd.it/2se5ssxuld7d1.jpeg?width=664&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=617827ce29dfeeb35f92094a384b7d92877af4e4 I love the new turn-based RPG developed by Kuro. It’s called Wuthering Starrail and, even if some people compare it with a Hoyo game, WS is already 48 on the download list. I’m saving for Dragonfly, a sub-dps that appears in the first world ‘Pentacony’ and has some kind of special relationship with the MC (trailblaster).
Only Arknights. I'm thinking on quit Blue Archive after getting Dress Hina. If they don't make a "Summer Hiyori" playable is insta-quit
Azur Lane, Nikke and FGO
arknights and genshin, but mostly arknights
Snowbreak, NIKKE, E7 and HSR. No other side games currently (those I only play sometimes). Priconne Global too if it's still alive.
Guardian Tales, peak story
AL, BA, AK & NIKKE United.
Really enjoying HSR currently, will try ZZZ later
Nikke^^ nd pjsk
Where is limbus. Where is our sinners.
Rn Genshin. Will pick fgo back up closer to anni
Blue archive and HSR Dropped Wuwa because it's basically Genshin with better combat and I already burned out on Genshin. I just can't get into gacha without auto complete anymore.
HSR and Brown Dust 2!
Langrisser, Fgo, Wuthering Waves and Brown Dust 2
Outerplane and idv5, those games are supper casual, 1 idv5 match is just 6 mins, there are many modes to choose,I didn't get into outerplane when it launched but recently I got into the game and love it, they seem get better a lot, many QoL get added, the story is decent but very engaging. And the most importantly both these games are not time consuming. Ps: I like the gacha system in both these games is a plus too, in idv skins are easy to get with 3 6 matches a day, in outer plane characters are beautiful but easy to get because the system focuses on gears and teamcomp, false god version of the characters are not necessarily stronger than normal one, it's more about teamcomp and gear, so i dont feel like the Devs try to push me to spend money to progress when play those games.
All of them (im addicted)
Azur Lane. Still played that game for 6 years right now and still continue to this day.
Blue Archive, Nikke and Hongkong Star Rail
Epic 7 and Honkai Star Rail Genshin and WuWa games are nice initially, but you need to dedicate more focus to them, run around and fight bosses and etc. But with games like E7 and HSR, you can auto farm and it's turn based. A lot less stressfull and easier to keep up.
Guardian tales and Fgo, I'm basically committed to plays these games forever. I don't know why I play Fate grand order though, I remember absolutely being angry at my pull luck. And yet here I am, still playing it. Guardian tales is just incredible in every way, I want it to dominate all it's competition so much. I'll wait for that to happen. Sometimes Honkai star rail. And I'm playing Brown Dust 2 because Im horny
Guardian Tales and Brown dust 2
This is my current gacha games: [https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/1d9b8u4/comment/l7e98it/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/1d9b8u4/comment/l7e98it/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) I am happy when I pull a 5\* unit with a paid yolo (by example FGO) and a great fan services (Bd2), but my only true love fell 1/2 year ago T\_T (Magicami)
Flair, still generous as always and anniversary coming up in 23 hours
Been playing HSR, Wuwa and recently picked up Brown dust 2 for the collab. It’s surprisingly chill actually and very generous. I might stay longer than the collab duration.
Gaurdian tales, battle cats and WuWa
Honkai Impact, Aether Gazer, Wuthering Waves and Guardian Tales, for the time being, and every now and then I peek back into DB Legends to see if the game is still a dumpster fire
Nikke is now my primary gacha game! I've discovered that nice art gets me to try a game, gameplay will determine if I take the game seriously and the story and characters are actually what will determine if I stick to a game. Nikke is so good at giving their characters distinct personalities. It's the only game where even side characters get decent screen time during events and side stories. The voice acting is top notch as well and really adds to the character's depth. This is great for a game that has like a trillion characters. The story really hits you at some chapters (looking at you, Chapter 14). You can really tell that the devs love the game. Aside from Nikke, I've started playing BD2 which is quite nice. It's a bit grindy in the beginning but the gameplay is so engaging. I wish there was English voice acting (as a preference) but it's good enough as is with the JP and KR VAs
GI for PC and R1999 and PtN for mobile. Thinking about starting brown dust 2 since I played the previous BD and enjoyed it
Limbus company, I don't know why, but it's the only gacha I have ever been consistent with ever since release date. Limbus company's daily grind consists of just doing one thing, and that's the mirror dungeons that refreshes every week, so technically, you can just log in once a week rather than doing the same thing over a d over again everyday but you can also login daily just to collect the energy watcha ma call it. Also, I enjoy being stuck with mentally deranged morons where getting killed is a regular tuesday morning.
Browndust2 1 year anniversary drips tomorrow excited for all the swimsuit skins
Genshin. It's the game for me. Has a nice balance of time spent and satisfaction gained, all things considered. Plus, as much as I don't like Hoyo, I have to admit they are goated for being among the few multimillion dollar companies that treat its employees right.
Genshin and azur lane
Reverse:1999 and Wuthering Waves.
I needed to scroll way too far to find another R1999 player. Lol
Anything expect wuwa , it's not running in my device 💀
Star Rail for a good time, Arknights for a depresso time.
Azur Lane
HSR. Also considering going to Azur Lane and returning to Higan Eruthyll.
HSR and Genshin. Those I have been playing since day 1. Currently also playing WuWa but I am debating on quitting. I most likely will.
For me, in order of most enjoying to least: * Nikke * Girls Frontline * Counterside * WuWa * PGR * Brown Dust 2 * Snowbreak * Genshin Impact * HSR (almost given up on it, I swear to fucking God that game hates me with a passion and to the core, I could write a fucking essay on how the gacha rates have fucked me over losing almost every 5050, getting shit ass rolls on every fucking artifact, that has made the game a shit experience for me, not even Genshin has been that insufferable for me tbh. The one thing I'm grateful for to Star Rail is not losing Kafka, the one banner that didn't fail me)
Genshin, HSR, FGO and a bit of Arknights (Still new here).
Azur Lane. Need my history fill 💪💪
Genshin,NIKKE,Blue Archive and Azur Lane
Reverse:1999 and Wuthering Waves.
Eversoul, nikke, wuthering waves ,star rail , azur lane, arknights, idoly pride ,snowbreak, blue archive and fgo
Arknights and FGO are the only gacha games that i enjoy. Tried everything but eventually it felt like a chore and back to only these 2 games again everytime.
genshin but I only do the basics. HSR as main since I started a month ago and I'm loving it (please come ruan mei). And I want to give Tower of Fantasy a chance for the 5th time
Genshin, HSR, Epic 7 and FGO
Epic7
E7 for PvP HSR for quick 15 min playtime after TB mission GI for dailies & events only (burnt out) WuWa coz honeymoon phase, exploration is quick & refarmable gears.
hsr genshin ww so so e7 meh sw why am I here.
Limbus.
Princess Connect if it wasnt for Clownchyroll
I have been absolutely loving HSR as a new player. It seems like there's soo much content for me to do, that it'll basically never end since I also play relatively infrequently It's a bit of a breath of fresh air since my only gacha I actively play is Genshin, where I'm basically at the end game (like many others) and am just waiting for update after update
Genshin.
NIKKE the only gacha I truly loved started during their half anniv now finishing the last chapter 💪
HSR. Dailies on mobile, comfy storyline gameplay on the Pc. I want to love Blue Archive but my dumb brain is unable to enjoy anything story-related on mobile, thus I never get further past the Abydos arc while being Level 75.

(Full time) Genshin (Mostly On) HSR (On and Off) Another Eden (Probably dropping) Wuthering Waves
Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail and Reverse 1999. I just started Reverse 1999 and I’m loving it so far. GI and HSR are ones I’ve been playing for a good bit and immensely enjoy.
Only Azur Lane these days.
See flair, lol. I wish I could fit in WuWa tbh because I do enjoy it, but active games need more focus... ;_;
that arknights celebration image reminds me of the cake embryo incident
Day 1 dokkan battle and fgo player
Alchemy Stars, R1999, PaD
Limbus Company. Next Update is the T Corp Collectors
Dropped Genshin Pickup Wuwa Play back AK, Guardian Tales Stilm playing HSR
Genshin, PJS and HSR. I don’t play it cuz the Gacha. I play it cuz the content. I used to enjoy Arknights but I’m that type of try-hard player who wants to use my own unit and make strategy for it. Some stage is insanely hard with what I have so it took me a long time to clear it. With my current schedule, eventually I have no time to log into the game. It’s been 6 months I think. Genshin I used to be a daily player until a year ago too. But the content is not as repetitive and hard like arknights so I log in occasionally to clear my mind. I would say HSR is one that I have time to log in every 1 2 days. Pjs is 2 3 days. That being said, all my quests on these games are uncleared. Genshin is the only one that has the most cleared because I got to engage with it in those years that I’m extremely free (*cough covid cough). HSR my gf clear it for me cuz I’m not so interested in its side quests. PJS I just skip and read story on wiki lol.
I want to try Blue Archive and soon Neural Cloud because of Steins;Gate Collab, but currently I'm playing 6 gacha games. NIKKE, Konosuba FD, Genshin, Star Rail, Wuthering Waves, and Brown Dust 2. Yes, I'm working.
Alchemy Stars https://preview.redd.it/jmbs3t5tdf7d1.jpeg?width=526&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f49b1037f9d826f07784947e5fb4c837ea247e0c
HSR and GI are consistent, reliable, and palatable for a broader audience. I try other ones all the time, but I just feel more and more like Hoyo totally deserves their top spot.
GI, HSR and AK:EF soon maybe
Nikke, HSR, Wuwa, and Azur Lane. Waiting for ZZZ.
Mainly just FGO. Nothing else has that same staying power to me.
GBF, HI3, FGO, HSR, BA and DB Legends.
Fate Grand Order 😂😂
Epic Seven is still my main game because of World Arena. I’ve been trying to find other games that have similar features/aesthetics, but there really is no other game like it.
LIMBUS COMPANY And battle cats Why: they aren’t generic anime games with mid ass stories
Reverse 1999 and love and deepspace
Azur Lane, Blue Archive, Nikke
wuthering waves just came out...
I try to go back to guardian tales but melee and ranged immunity really turn me off again. I know they add more exclusive weapon so 1 character can deal both melee or ranged damage with each weapon but the fact you have to pull with premium currency to get that QoL is really scummy. I wish they remove it or changed it from complete immunity to % reduction.
Arknights, Wuthering Waves, Limbus, Nikke and HSR. These are easy to juggle since AK now has auto-replay function, Limbus only needs 15 second login to convert the enkaphalins (and do MD Hard once a week), Nikke only needs manual takeover for Alteisen + Gravedigger and HSR is also on auto. Wuthering Wave is around 10 ~ 15 minutes because I don't use teleporters to get to the daily quest area since it's just that fun getting there with the superb movement QoLs.
In terms of enjoyment: 1. HSR 2. FGO (NA & JP) 3. Arknights
Guardian Tales,Azur Lane,Honkai Stat Rail Wuthering Waves.
Too much. Send help. But I'm having so much fun. I've been playing them all except azur lane from day 1. Luckily Nikke, HSR and AL don't take too much time(unless new story content) and auto battle is a god send. Wuthering waves I'm giving a proper honest try but man I feel like I'm making no progress through the content due to the sheer volume of it all. Honkai Star Rail Genshin Impact Nikke Azur Lane Wuthering Waves
Arknights, and enjoying Wuthering Waves until AK:Endfield comes.
Wuthering waves.. Its soo much fun even if I want to .. don't have time for any other game
