    From reviews I’m seeing that lots of content is AI/AI made and it’s full of microtransactions. 100% a gatcha game.

    I find that f2p games don’t tend to respect the players’ time as they have to sell microtransactions. Hard pass for me.

      It depends. But that number of good f2P games is small.

      I get pleasantly surprised by many f2P games that I wish would just become single player games. Wizardry Variant Daphne comes to mind. You can literally play nonstop for like 100 hours and not even realize there’s a store. (Source: me)

    ITT: Lots of people commenting about mt and p2win or whatever. Isn’t it a single player / consensual co-op game? Who gives a shit what other people want to spend their money on? The hill people choose to die on sometimes…

      Consensual Game

      You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means…

        Well then, I suppose it’s a good thing I never said that phrase.

        OP, what does consensual game mean to you?

          I’m OP and I never actually said “consensual game.” I said “consensual co-op” as in, you have to choose to play co-op as opposed to playing single player.

      No, it’s an always online single player MMO. Weird, but yeah.

      Nope. Even if you can play solo, it requires an Internet connection at all times. Keep in mind this is free-to-play with microtransactions.
