Bside: Desktop Mate

I'm sorry, what? The limited edition Halloween outfits cost 8000 premium currency... which amounts to roughly $80 USD? Please tell me this is a bug. If not, then this is very alarming and does not bode well for the future of the game. It puts most gachas to shame. I just do not think that Bside has enough going for it to even remotely warrant that kind of asking price for cosmetics, and even IF it was not in early access and was completely finished, I'd [i]still[/i] think that 80 USD for one outfit is absolutely bonkers. I have played many gacha games and many dress up games and not a single one has ever asked for that much at once. Please reconsider your development budget if this kind of pricing is necessary to keep the game afloat.

Has basically nothing going for it. Outfits are super limited and some require a premium currency that is super predatory and extremely high priced (some outfits are close to $100 for a digital dress up game), art style is cute but that's about it, the animation is very limited and poorly rigged and does not really look how it does in the trailers. There are better desktop pet games out there with better animations that are free or low priced without predatory microtransactions if you're looking for something to idle in the background. Edit: I decided to check in on the positive reviews after a couple of months, because I suspected many are paid for or botted. The majority have 1.1hrs or less played, telling me that my suspicions are correct and most of the positive reviews are not legitimate.

Why is the art for the promotional material so cute but the pet character so bad? It does nothing, customization options super limited, animation is atrocious. Paid outfits are the price of a AAA game wtf? The "chat" rooms are...weird and empty. Honestly the whole time I felt like this is some fake game, I tried to find other people online that know it and there was no oneeee. It fr gave off fake game from an old creepy pasta that was made to hide evil stuff in it lmao. Not to mention some of the reviews here sound fake too, is this what ai reviews looks like?
