Bro it’s diddy 4:54
WAKE UP LIMBUS COMPANY FANS WE MIST PROVE OURSELVES AS A GOOD GACHA GAME
The first time I came across this was when I wasn’t enjoying tears of the kingdom. Which is crazy bc I’ve been a die hard Zelda fan since I was a child. Just started playing twilight princess again and the feeling was gone. The world used to be so rich with characters that I actually cared about. It’s like they used the rushed part of wind walker (the triforce quest) and just made two games that feel like that. No more dungeons, just tiny terribly similar structures.
TotK had a lot of nice improvements and additions over BotW, but it didn't capture the same magic as BotW. At best, it was a nice total conversion, at worst, a bit of a mess. The lack of direction in BotW/TotK was its best and worst feature; a directed story whilst in a nonetheless sprawling world was at the core of Zelda. Also, fellow Twilight Princess enjoyer, top 3 Zelda hands down.
It's called getting old
I think youre kind of a lame guy tbh
Look at the class of people. What dies anyone expect from headbanging bogans/hillbillys. This was going to be the outcome regardless even if they had free clean water, showers, toilets and shade.
I finished school in 99 and reading these comments makes me realise how far we have come.... scratch that, how far we have fallen.
Dreamcast had this own grafics like you can always see if a dreamcast game is running. Today all games look the same and weird/strange games are total gone. I always stick with my saturn and dreamcast that was the last real consoles. Today console get highpowerd PC nothing more, nothing special.
The Dreamcast, both in terms of its actual graphics capacity and the types of games on it, is somewhere between 5th and 6th gen. It's a clear improvement over the PS1 and N64, but the rest of the 6th gen made pretty major leaps in graphics technology compared to the 5th gen. The look is kinda unique, and perfectly videogame-y.
Insane Clown Posse is based.
Play limbus company, it is very good. Great story and you can play the game in mostly any way you want (except for fighting ricardo). You dont require the best characters (otherwise known as id's) to play through the story and most 000 id's are good in their own way. Limbus company is quite generous when it comes to giving free ingame currency (lunacy) . @ARStudios2000 also talks about limbus company in this comment section.
Something something yahoo. On the real, if the gacha game has generous systems that's good and commendable, so long as they aren't employing other predatory mechanics.
Social media would explode if this took place today.
You've had comparable events in recent years like fyre festival, a gongshow that went viral for that very inauspucious reason
@@CiggySnake Frye Festival?
Basically, you had this guy who thought he could set up some luxury music event out in the Bahamas or something. High end, beach side accomodations, the best musicians in the world, the works. Got a bunch of people to buy tickets for this supposed super music festival, but in the end it was just an empty island with no musicians, tents as the only form of shelter, and unicef rice as the only meal for attendees. Dude got jailtime and a massive fine to provide restitution to the victims of his incomptency/scam. Look into it, it's a ridiculous tale.
@@CiggySnake Oh yeah, I think I remember that now.
You forgot to mention that a special guest artist was teased for the final night. The rumor was that it was Michael Jackson. On the final night, the special guest was Jimi Hendrix-prerecorded at the original Woodstock. That is what sent people over the edge.
Here after the switch 2 announcement and it looks like they're not slowing down
I'll only accept gacha games IF They put a cap on how much players can spend;maybe $500 dollars, or, atleast $1.000. As long as it is not over $10.000(Because with THAT money, it counts as throwing away all your life savings. for the average person) And i would accept gacha's that are side content ONLY IF it was free.. (Like, no IRL money involve. PLEASE)
Been playing Touhou LostWord for about 2 years and 2 months now. Never spent a cent on it, and I can tell you that as pretty and well-written as it is, there isn't a thing on it that's worth what they're charging. (Plus it's prone to glitches and crashes, and I'm not paying for that.) Bottom line is, if you don't want to get ripped off, you have to accept whatever you get. Yes, you're going to be getting lots of lousy units and spell cards (which you can at least trade in for useful tokens), yes, you're almost certainly not getting any of your favorites, yes, that means the lineup you end up with is going to look pretty weird. That's the nature of luck.
As a former LW player, this is fairly accurate. That being said, while the art is pretty, calling it well written is a bit of stretch, let's be honest.
this more likely bad parenting issue, if the parent of that child limit their child's online time or monitoring their child's online activity this problem is preventable again, parents who enabling their children is count as bad parenting
Parents certainly need to keep an eye on their childrens' online activities, but the systems within gacha games are themselves predatory and exploitative. While children are perhaps the most susceptible, such predatory systems can prey upon adults as well as children. Personal preventative measures should always be pursued, but tackling the more fundamental issue here should be prioritized.
Great video! I also do agree that a lot of gacha games arent that great as games, even Genshin, and I used to play that. I'm honestly really glad I quit. Honkai Star Rail is not that great either tbh, and the powercreep is absolutely horrible. The only gacha game that I honestly find genuinely fun is Wuthering Waves.
I appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed the vid.
People who say gaming isn’t getting worse are on straight copium 100mg
At least in terms of AAA gaming, for the vast majority of titles it's a race to the bottom. Indie titles are still going strong at least.
@ oh I strictly mean AAA
Michael Lang was well intended, but when John Scher's immediate focus was trying to make a profit, the original ideals of the original Woodstock were thrown out the window. After having seen the Netflix trilogy, I watched the extended director's cut of the 1970 Woodstock movie, and right at the beginning, Michael Lang says that breaking even isn't a worry. What matters is that it's happening. There's then a speech given to the audience that the financial backers have decided that the people are more important than money. The dudebro fratboy crowd didn't help, but put the most peaceful loving hippies into a situation like that, and you'd probably get the same sort of destruction.
Allot of shit went wrong but it was still a great concert fun asf until people started lighting shit on fire
i still think if you spend money on a game and then blame the game for wasting your money youre being stupid, its not hard to enjoy a game and not pull out a credit card
It's not about heaping all blame onto gachas when they get people's money, but about criticizing the exploitative systems and psychological ploys utilized by those games to get people to spend money.
@CiggySnake we can agree that all types of in game purchases like limited time skins, cosmetics, or loot boxes are stupid and exploitative but I think that people should really start taking accountability for what they spend their money on, after all the company isn't the one taking out the players card and paying, it's the player who does it
I don't necessarily disagree, everyone needs to be accountable for any ill-advised purchases they make. At the same time however, there needs to be a measure of sympathy for those who have been exploited, if not addicted by these systems, coupled with criticism towards the exploitative systems themselves.
Gacha game does gacha things and got someone into debt. How surprising.
I have over 140 xbox 360 games.
What is so great about these overrated games that people will continuously waste money on them? I played genshin Impact and I was not impressed. The leveling up system is horrifically slow, the characters you can get don't interact with you or with the story, and every part of the story is locked until you get to a certain level.
They're often made using established IPs people enjoy in their own right, the new IPs specifically made for gachas have characters people like, and there's of course the boob factor. Your mileage may vary in terms of how much enjoyment you can get from an individual gacha game, but the actual games themselves aren't exactly groundbreaking titles or anything.
Ciggy Snake... Have you ever heard of the Smoking Snakes in WWII?
I used to play hoyoverse games, especially honkai star rail and i probably spent 1000$ on the game. I used to be addicted to drugs and gambling addiction is not much different.
Yeah, gambling addictions are one of the worst, most damaging, and most dangerous addictions. Do be careful.
Every time a gacha player goes bankrupt, an Elden ring player beats a boss.
yeah true, I play genshin everyday and have sunk around 250 bucks into the game so far
@@CatShroom--_--meow as long as you can sustain it yourself you're okay, just don't go into debt.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with dolphining now and again, just be cautious and smart
Bro post your sources in the description mate
Was a shortcoming with this video, I do my best to keep everything sourced now. Is there something in particular you're looking for here?
Gacha is Gambling period, it’s just more dystopian corporate manipulation with nice and pretty imagery, it’s also a plague on the gaming industry.
If people want to gamble, let them gamble.
I don't particularly like gambling, but I get people want to engage in gambling. It should be allowed in some fashion, but it should be regulated and overseen so people aren't wiped out by addiction.
4:56 diddy sighting 😳
That Woodstock documentary on Netflix was pretty good
I wonder why nobody ever came to the idea of just using a hammer to get all the figures from the gachapon for free. If I was that desperate, I would prefere to do that, rather than spendoing away all my life savings.
Look at all these complainers. Sooner or later, game will turned this way and the target audience IS NOT YOU. Enjoy minority.
This video deserves so many more likes and views.
I appreciate the kind words and am glad you enjoyed the vid
4:35 The band is called Limp Bizkit, he isn't a solo artist here. Were you even alive when this took place? The vigil was for the Columbine High school shooting victims, something you failed to mention, I guess because your weren't even born yet.
Playing genshin while being f2p is soo punishing
There’s a reason why I stopped playing GI, that and Liyue and Inazuma are so snoozefest. Fontaine is pretty interesting but too far into the progress and ain't got no time for all dat shit. HSR is much more generous but also plagued by gotta pull for 5 stars vs super time-consuming grinding low rarities to catch up, AND progress-gated to upgrade newer characters. I came back only coz Feixiao is too badass (imo she's basically sane version of Arknights' Lappland) and blew my reserve to get her. Hasn't come back since, but Mama Herta does entice me.
Yet somehow Tax off the Jackpot wins is atleast 50% .. Its tyranny.
All this time it's been rigged and controlled by C.A. Jackpots have 98% of the time gone to C.A. especially the record high amounts. Illuminati controls lottery. We must cease playing.. The evil rich redding off the poor to get richer. C.A. needs to sink into the sea.
The Dreamcast didn't fail, Sega did.
Perhaps as a company, the disconnect and bizarre, pointless hostility between SoJ and SoA greatly inhibited their operations, but from the 90's through the 00's Sega was producing quality games.
I got very concerned when I heard that a man who shares the name with the Krebs cycle made a quack drug. I was very pleased to look up on Wikipedia that the Krebs cycle was named for Hans Krebs, a biochemist of the same era.
Yeah, an odd coincidence
I don’t understand why the word tragedy, that was our generation right there explained. We will never forget it and we had the time of our lives, everything was so fck real and intense! By my 12 I had already several broken bones in my little past no wonder the 90’s had to be crazy! 😂
Sorry but this is bad parenting, is not the foult of the game becase the game dose not push you to roll or put mony in it, i am and was a f2p and i did not buy anithing thene one or 2 full games on sale at 10/20 bucks so no is not the game foult.
Parents absolutely need to have oversight and actively parent their kids, but these games do employ predatory systems to get people in the door and hopefully hooked.
@@CiggySnake im with you on that but you cant critisize theme whene the modern games are doing the same, at least the gacha let you pley for free and not make you buy a game and pay for loot boxes.
I hold both gacha mechanics and lootbox mechanics (basically the same thing) in equal contempt, this video was just looking at issues in gachas, but they largely apply to lootboxes as well.
First Woodstock (besides the legacy) was not a logistics succes, why did they want to replicate it 30 years later???
Overconfidence and greed. It's sad because they had an actually successful template in Woodstock '94, but just went back to their slapdash roots for '99.
Im already way to deep into NIKKE+5000$ 😂 but hey, atleast i can afford it and i enjoy the game still since day 1 ❤
