Yeah, I've been getting it a lot... and it's causing me to double post, too. :P

Haven't heard of Blackout Bingo before, but that's an interesting variant.

I just realized you could mash Bingo and Sudoku together and make it a competitive speed game. Everyone starts with empty Sudoku grids and the numbers get revealed over time. Whoever solves the Sudoku puzzle first wins.

That's just "fill up all the squares in your Bingo card" maybe it's named something else over there?

A Bingo and Sudoku mashup would be pretty interesting. XD

[Voltaire Magneton]

RNG + Puzzle, wonder how that will turn out lmao

[Chakramaster]

Sounds like a mobile game to me xD. Gacha included.

Yeah, as painful as some gacha games are, the good ones give you stuff to do besides from spend heaps and heaps of money on one little thing. And here I am, simply playing a rhythm gacha game and only having enough of the rarest thing in the game to make a single team. Five, if you wanted to know that.

[Voltaire Magneton]

I've already had my fill of rhythm gacha games after playing one competitively, so I feel you.

The whole presence of microtransactions in mobile games has caused me to almost never play them. The only ones I play are Pokemon Cafe, which is pretty enjoyable without spending money, and Words With Friends because you can also play that without spending money. Now, it takes a LOT for me to be lured into trying a new mobile game.

But so, so many of them are just outright defiled with heaps of microtransactions. I used to play Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem which was really fun and hilarious, but then it kept bugging me about offers and paywall things and I also hit a progression wall where I just couldn't go any further without shelling out money. Not to mention you'd get pulverized by other players that were clearly spending money. Not cool.

I also heard Diablo Immortal is HORRIBLE for microtransactions and endgame spending.

[C0L0R3D]

Makes me grateful that most of my stuff isn't paywall locked, and what IS isn't mandatory. So large F for you.

Though, I'm going to be honest, I wonder what the next big forum thing after Duskwoken Stalkers is going to be. I'm pretty certain that as fun as it is for everyone, Neo can't just go dishing these out like a lemonade stand.

[Voltaire Magneton]

Based on these discussions, hopefull the next forum thing won't have microtransactions :P
