We're playing powerbomberman now

As in the BBC + Pix?

-garbage (he hurt his hand) and plus mexicans

RIP Garbage, hope he makes it through the cold dark winter cause hes pretty cool

I like that they kept some aspect of the tower defense

the factorio town building piece seems kinda cancer though

I think people misunderstand why factorio is popular

Why people like that concept

It's cvcoming from the people that have never played modded minecraft/tekkit "ohh people like converyr belts and resources being pumped yea!"

I don't really know how to explain it, I don't want ot use the word "soul"

but if you've played tekkit/modded mc, you can understand factorio was specifically made from a place of understanding to scratch that itch and does so well, the managing all lines up

but every clone and every time someone tries to create their own system

it comes off hollow and tedious

especially if it's a half baked system

the only time that type of gameplay feels good is when its heavily tuned and well made

I don't want to sit down for 2 hours to play my gacha games super shitty half baked factorio

because that gives ZERO of the dopamine actual factorio/modded mc would

at a basic level, people like supply chains, raw material--->processed material -->final good what people don't like is tedious inventory management and 10 different variations of the same thing

bbut its just going to be tedious and half baked, itll be "oh this same structure gives the purple kind instead of the red"

factorio you have to manage multiple resources from multiple areas and the way of gaining many of those resources varieis a lot

modded mc, youre combinging multiple types of systems that acqire your item in question then piping them in/out with different items etc.

this system seems to just be, oh this one generates slightly differentyl!

wow!

most games people like, whether conveyor belt based like factorio, or trade route based like Stronghold, Anno, Setterlers, cities skylines, openTTD, etc. have SHOCKINGLY flat resource trees

and from the little I saw of Arknights 2, they were not doing that

im not saying its super flat but from what ive seen it seems pretty basic

and it's a sinking feeling with a gacha, that it's going to be a time sink without any sort of satisfying payoff

which to me, just comes off as a chore

its most likely going to be the equivalent of doing your quest or grinding mats in any other gacha

except instead youre playing factorio and doing clash of clans-tier wait 12 hours

which i have absolutely zero interest in too

I liked the basic tower defense gameplay of 1, I thought it was a good fit for a gacha this gives me serious concerns about the sequel

that + you still have to run around and """explore""" and pickup resources

^

I am curious to see what out-of-touch chinese slaves make

when told to emulate factorio

I think that's genuinely going to be interesting

i had a little interest before in this game but ive lost all interest now

I've been giving every gacha a try at the very least

but if they can't be played fast paced

I'm out

the stupid dress up one Max, there are unskippble micro-cutscenes when you perform pretty much any action

fuck that

starfield

sorry have to sit in my ship

Starfield had their shitty Factorio machanic too!

ok Max

Obsidians secret fallout game

turns out to be a gacha

can a non-weeb gacha even succeed

no

cookie run kingdom is the closest

but thats still korean

coookie run is pretty massive

though mostly with women and children

seeing adult women talk about their sexual fantieis with these anthromorphised cookies is something

I had no idea it looked like this

I just assume all mobile games are either weebshit or look like clash of clans

i mean like spooky

u would right

?

maybe not blackie

but that trump cookie in the top left

you know making a gacha aimed at kids

is pretty ddiabolical

"mommy can I have 10 dolllars to spend on coookie runnn"

the amount little kids spend on vbucks is also crazy

those $50 and $100 cards in the store are always selling through

my autistic stepbrother for like 3 years straight

spent every christmas and birthday money

on vbucks

(my dad now uses his account)

so it was likea reinvestment

that account unironically probably has 1k+ of skins
