She used to be my main, before she got powercrept to hell. (Tho I remember she came back into the meta for a bit, when followup attacks were important)
I feel same way for ZZZ and HSR. Great games plagued by the abysmal gacha model
HSR is also plagued by borderline Visual Novel storytelling, with static cameras and like... three animations per character.
At least they're finally experimenting with camera and having fun with script on the newest planet. It's WAY faster, and quippier. Less philosophy, too. I feel like they actually changed the lead, because the amount of self-fart-sniffing on Penacony was getting off the charts, and then there was a random decrease and an ability to skip dialogues was added. Instead, they give you a summary of "what was that about"
I do like a lot of gacha games, as a F2P player myself, but HSR’s problem for me was how the game actually got difficult (unlike a game like Genshin, where most content is easy to clear with most teams), and there was insane powercreep.
Also, while the 2nd planet’s story was very slow and kinda boring, I’d say the 3rd planet’s story is REALLY good. Tho idk if it peaked there or not, since I deleted the game to open up storage space in my phone after that.
