#but honestly i think a lot of my grief with idv outside of missing the gameplay is just missing out on limited skins and whatnot

The biggest problem with getting into gacha games for me (other than my unfortunate spending impulses) is just that the current system of gacha games feels like. So inaccessible.

I found genshin fun when I played it and just hearing about things secondhand from friends and whatnot makes it sound like more recent gameplay and story stuff is fun, if nothing else. But like, something about having dropped genshin after the disappointment of Inazuma and knowing that there's so many story events and exclusive things that I missed out on because I haven't played at all in like a year and a half makes the prospect of trying to get back into it so. Daunting. All that lore I missed out on, all of the character stuff locked behind timed events I'll never get to see. Makes it so hard to actually want to pick the game up again

#talk tag #i get this feeling with idv too to a lesser degree #but honestly i think a lot of my grief with idv outside of missing the gameplay is just missing out on limited skins and whatnot #and after doing the math a while ago and finding that i spent over $3k on idv back when i was playing it it's #probably a good thing that i'm put off on playing it #hsr was a real experiment for me on how much i could control my impulses but i was good abt only buying the $5 daily jade thing #and the battle pass (after i hit level 30) #who knows what kind of monster i would've become if i didnt get kafka though lmfao #overall genshin is something im gaining passive interest in again and i'm more confident in my ability to Control Myself now #but ughhhhh i hate the way that game does content #and idk how willing i am to binge videos or read wikis to see what i missed
