What game are you currently playing?

Once it's done downloading and installing on my PC... Honkai Star Rail I kept hearing about it... it's Genshin Impact but as a turn based JRPG? Tons of high reviews? This gacha got me. https://media.tenor.com/xhOkJAV-NnkAAAAd/honkai-star-rail.gif https://upload-os-bbs.hoyolab.com/upload/2021/10/13/1105006/8d2e398f2a6328f6eb14ccc2529afb29_9165380039360078834.gif

there is no way I'll play Honkai Star Rail. Japanese gatcha games are designed to suck money out of people like me. Best to not even give them a chance even though it looks like a fun game.

@secretagentboi no idea what it means but the art looks good. For me, time is money as well, and I know I'd get trapped in a time suck. I'm trying to spend a majority of my freetime learning japanese so I can't have any extra distractions this year

Oh it was the limited time 5 star character and i got 2 of them in one go and i'd say the only time consuming part would be the tutorial since after that you can play at 2x speed and auto play to grind items automatically

i'm kinda jealous getting two 5 star characters on the same warp, especially since I think that's Seele you got (which is the only 5 star I REALLY want), but let's not act like that's common or something that can be achieved through skill xD The game literally tells you that you have a 0.6% chance of getting a 5 star character per Warp attempt, and getting two on the same Warp is even more improbable. From what I've read, the game can be beat normally with just the free characters alone, but they make those 5 star characters so desirable, everyone WILL burn through all their tickets in no time trying to get just one of them. And there is no skill or manipulation to get around that 0.6% chance per ticket. Unless a person hits 777 on the slots more than once, people are gonna drop real money to get more tickets. And even THAT is rigged to milk you, since it costs 160 "points" to get 1 ticket, but it costs $5.00 real money to get 300 points... hmmmm damn which oddly falls juuuuuust short of being able to get 2 tickets xD I got lucky af and got 5 star Bronya. I imagine what I felt in that moment is what it must feel like to see the birth of your child. https://i.makeagif.com/media/3-24-2023/OL7L0U.gif
