Is roblox a gacha game? My little 7 year old nephew wants to play but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate (as the gaming liason in the family)

AngryCommieKender,

I wouldn’t call Roblox itself a gacha game. That category is the ones where you are trying to collect all the heroes in the game and level them up with rare loot. AFAIK they generally, if not always, involve loot crates that you have to purchase.

Roblox has its own problems. As spelled out by People Make Games in these two videos.

Roblox claims to teach kids how to make their own games. At this point from what I’ve heard, I would suggest Unity Engine before Roblox, and I wouldn’t recommend Unity after their pricing debacle.

Watch the videos, and have a serious discussion with his parents about it before you get him that game platform.

retrieval4558,

Don’t know if there are gacha mechanics but Roblox has been widely criticized for basically using child labor. The majority of content is user created. Don’t know how exactly it’s monetized but i can’t imagine it’s good.

mrvictory1,

Roblox is not a game, it is a game platform where users make games. Roblox games, especially ones that are mildly popular at 500-5k active players usually have reasonable monetization and no gacha. Some have lootboxes.

I can’t believe it’s finally coming out. I’ve been following this game since it was announced 7 years ago. I’m even more excited now that the reviews are really good.

7 games per year is a pretty good cadence! Most studios are on their way to being 7 years per game.

Sas, do gaming w Is Dragon's Dogma 2 worth it if I already have the first one?

If you plan to do main story only, I’d say, go for the 2nd. However the first dragons dogma has bitterblack isles which is a giant dungeon designed to focus on pretty much nonstop action and multiple dives in, each getting further down and delivering powerful gear to help you get even further. It really helps to give you post-game stuff to do and i miss it in dd2 to the point of thinking about going back to the first one just for that part of the game

MutatedBass, do gaming w Is Dragon's Dogma 2 worth it if I already have the first one?

I would try out the original before playing 2. DD2 is very similar to the original but DD2 is better in my opinion. If you enjoy the first, you will almost certainly enjoy the second. DD2 may go on sale for Steam’s upcoming Fall sale, something to think about.

Yea, the fall sale is actually why I was considering DD2.

It’s 2024, and we still assign significance to streamers and stream viewers. No wonder the world is going to shit as fast as it is…

This is not about streamers, it’s about viewership during tournaments.

Gamers_mate,

The first two ratchet and clank games. I also copied the iso for the third game from the disc so I will be playing UYA next. After that I am going to make a copy of Gladiator/Deadlocked and play that.

Hundun, do gaming w What games would you recommend others to just play on easy difficulty

Uncharted, especially the final installment. On normal and higher difficulty dealing with the enemies becomes a bit of a chore: they force you to hide a lot, as well as waste entire clips of ammo on a single guy. On easy the game becomes forgiving enough food you too start pulling off cool stunts: swinging on ropes, shooting during a climb/jump, etc.

It’s just more fun on easy.

Countries like Belgium and the Netherlands have already banned loot boxes and gacha systems

Did they really? I certainly know that the lootboxes aren’t allowed here (rip my TF2 weapon paints), but I still could spend 10 euros on Genshin Impact, even if I had to use MasterCard.

PunchingWood,

I have zero interest in paying for lootboxes or other gambling crap paid with real money in games.

But games like Lost Ark were banned in The Netherlands and it took me a while to figure out why it didn’t show in my Steam store.

I wish there were other means instead of just outright banning games from stores (like Diablo Immortal for mobile also isn’t available in The Netherlands). It didn’t take me much to get around the ban and install Lost Ark anyway, so I figured if I can do that, then what’s stopping people with gambling problems from doing the same as well.

Also it seems wildly inconsistent when games are and aren’t allowed for us to download. Why should I be limited to the regulated games accessible because of other people’s gambling addictions? Feels like half the Steam library could be Thanos-snapped if it were just for lootboxes and transactions being present in games.

Dariusmiles2123, do games w Where are the improvements in AAA games?

I feel like the problem right now is that we have too many open worlds as if every game needed to be one.

As much as the ps3-xbox 360 era was the FPS Era, the PS5-Xbox X is the open world era.

I hope that soon we will go back to more variety.

Right now I’ve adopted a rythm where I force myself to play a linear game between every open world.

Just jumping in here to say thanks @HotWheelsVroom for this recommendation.

Before this, I had not heard of this series. I’ve been playing FlatOut 2 from Steam this week though and it’s a blast. So thanks!

HotWheelsVroom,

Hey, no problem dude! Glad I could introduce you to this legendary and underrated classic. 🥰

Abnorc, do gaming w What games would you recommend others to just play on easy difficulty

Maybe it’s a skill issue, but this game was Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 for me. I think I played it on the second easiest difficulty. On higher difficulties, the enemies move much faster and do more damage, and you start to realize how inaccurate the guns are. On top of that, the weapons are projectile weapons, so you’re aiming inaccurate and slow projectiles at stormtroopers shuffling left and right rapidly. I think it’s much more fun to just play on the first or second difficulty.
