      It's psychologically manipulative and exploits its players with a lot of refined and perfected monetization tactics.

      The player base, consequently, doesn't just dish out a lot of money for it, but also gets really defensive if the waifu treats are criticized. In fact by saying this here, I am likely to get one (or more) treats defenders really upset and weird about it, like when I criticized a similarly exploitative (but even greedier) eternal alpha tech demo called Star Citizen.

        Weird to frame it this way without mentioning the struggle between meta slaves and people who just want to play whatever they want. Too many people treat a casual single player RPG as some sort of e-sports competition. They wish it was the old MMO where everyone was competing for the same loot or it realy matters if you farm the same shit artifact dungeon in 30s instead of 1:30s.

        As I see it people just want their favorite character to be op and had no problem criticizing mihoyoverse when they though Yae miko was trash lol.

      Its a good game with very high quality assets, music, voice acting, good story. There are obviously weak points but it is not worse than wasting your money on yearly AAA FPS and battle pass dlc bullshit. Also it runs well enough on a potato you don't need to mortgage your house to buy a gaming PC. Obviously if you have problems with gambling you should stay away, but that also goes to any AAA game with loot boxes too.

      Ignore the haters on this website, anything to do with anime here is guilty by association with weebs, very easy to dunk on shit they have no clue what they are talking about or hearsay.

        I might give it a go, of all my vices gambling thankfully isn't one of them. I basically refuse to drop more than 5-10 $ on F2P games and don't mind having to grind out game currency.

          Yeah, eventually most people buy the monthly $5 pack because its good value. F2P experience is pretty much take 1:30s to clear a dungeon instead of 30s and you just need to save 2-3 to guarantee the character you want and every time you roll should end up getting a few 4* as compensation. In the long term if you play long enough you'll do even the max difficulty content just fine.

          People actualy want the game to be harder because they think its too easy, but MHY knows what they are doing to keep the millions of casuals.

      It's basically Breath of the Wild but jank and with 100% more creepy anime girl collector gacha bullshit

      which does mean it's a fun game fundamentally, but not really groundbreaking

        Yeah I understand a game with such a high percentage of weeb fan service is likely to be a toxic waste dump of opinions but sometimes I'm surprised.
