How the hell is Lost Ark so popular? The stereotype-laden jankfest where the social hubs are full of town guards that groan orgasmically nearly every time you walk past them? Hell, I can't think of any game that placed so much emphasis on bodily noises. The game where every fun little privilege seems to be a time-limited rental?
Then again I couldn't stand the awfulness for more than a few hours. Maybe there's a gem in there but damn if it isn't rough on the outside.

It's still relatively newly released in the west, there was lots of hype, the game has a high amount of spit and polish, and its gameplay was filling an under served space. If it played like your typical tab-targeting MMO, nobody would have cared. Also there's probably some bots increasing the steam player numbers, but that's another story. For now I decided to put it up there with FFXIV. >Hell, I can't think of any game that placed so much emphasis on bodily noises. I can: Genshin Impact. Genshin went in really hard on using micro transactions to let you play more, as well as having characters making sounds that are indistinguishable from pornography. Compared to what is typical for the Asian market, Korean games tend to be tame. > The game where every fun little privilege seems to be a time-limited rental? The way I understand LA is supposed to be played, is creating lots of alt characters so you can do the time-gated "fun" content on each them every day. Personally I hate daily tasks in games ("dailies"), because then the game starts feeling like a chore and also I'd have to play every day to keep up. LA is full of those.
