Wait, what do you mean about the pity system? It’s identical for between Genshin, Star Rail, and Zenless.

I think it’s, what, like 90 for 5 star, 10 for 4 star. Standard and Limited banner tracks their own counter. Pulling on one doesn’t reset the other.

Armies in 5 and 6 are kind of underwhelming. Maybe a compromise of having terrain have unit capacities, with various units taking up more space.

They were also much simpler and smaller back then with often extremely limited specification variations. And DRM existed back then too, with some fairly egregious and infamous physical DRM checks.

One of the DLC is just a better version of the camp item that you can’t find in-game.

Wait a minute, hold up, this wasn’t in the game unless you have that?

Oblivion’s Horse Armor was probably the start of DLC though, maybe. At least with consoles?

The availability of the item in-game doesn’t matter. If anything it’s availability in-game being “not that big of a deal” just showcases further the scumminess of it all being that purchasable item exists only to scam people by tricking them into thinking any modicum of money is worth a one use item.

And even then, if nobody complains about it, then they’ll still continue on as they will. They’ll do so regardless, of course, but at least you can say that there was pushback of some kind.

There’s a mod right now that adds the item you need to change appearances to a vendor for like 10 gold, so I’m not really sure what cheats it’s preventing exactly.

The problem is that those two things look exactly the same without the added context that you can’t fit into an easy title and people won’t read the details anyways.

In what capacity is it anymore disrespect than doing literally anything else?

You don’t need that degree of anticheat for MTX.

In comparison though, it was basically one and done. Assassin’s Creed is a fairly long running franchise, God of War and Mario too technically, paired with bits of nostalgia. Palworld can always improve and still get attention past the first month.

That’s not even strange, the spoon is just the perfect utensil.

It’s the same version, just different numbers. The update for Xbox should be out by now, I noticed there was an update for it a few hours ago.

And it doesn’t run as dogshit as ARK proper

Or even Pokemon proper.

Isn’t that practically the same as all games in general?

You don’t think it’d still be the same even with the headphone jack still there? Wireless headphones and converters for wired headphones do exist, they just don’t care.

Big city taxi companies now have all the same features as Uber

But weren’t they saying above that big city taxi companies were basically the only decent taxi companies already? Them getting better doesn’t solve what Uber is providing an alternative for.

Not to mention that Steamworks DRM is practically non-existent anyways (and that it also wasn’t necessary to use, it’s rare, but some games just don’t protect their game with any DRM).

Isn’t that largely just the case for competitive games?
