Lately, it’s become a bit of a burden for me to follow the story of some gacha games. Back when I started my first gacha, FGO in 2018, it was the only gacha I ever had to invest in, with the story and events making it very easy to enjoy and manage. Nowadays there are just too many gachas to keep up with. Is that just me? Sometimes it’s more convenient to skip event dialogue so you don’t fall behind. With the story, sometimes I don’t even bother anymore, or new updates just make it harder to come back at a good point in the schedule and pick up where you left off. It gets a little overwhelming at times, and it makes me feel conflicted more than anything else. I really love these games, but sometimes I can’t even play them the way I want to without some compromise or constraint. As more and more Gacha games are released, this problem becomes even more apparent. How do you manage this problem with the time you have?
Not me! I used to be into GBF, mostly because of the story, but now I just don’t care anymore. I play now HSR and ZZZ, but I end up skipping all non-main story, and just mashing through the main story dialogue (but maybe that’s because for some godforsaken reason HSR doesn’t have a skip button.) I also tried Reverse 1999 and Path to Nowhere, which I heard have amazing stories, but I ended up skipping everything after the intro chapter.
It’s not that the stories are bad, I just don’t have the mental energy to get into them anymore. I just want to play the game.
If anyone knows of a story-lite gacha, please recommend. I know of Puzzle and Dragons (a classic, I know), but after 10-11 years the gameplay is too convoluted for me to keep track of.
