Seriously. Blue Archive has some top tier sniffs but the gameplay literally put me to sleep. I'll just stick to the doujins.

>>712742402
dead game

Out of every Gacha I've played, the most frustrating was Azur Lane. Every stage took forever to get through and although you could auto-battle, you still had to manually do all of the movement in the stages yourself.

PriConne was the best, fucking RIP.

>>712740912

>>712740545 (OP)
Deep down gachacucks know what they're doing is shameful and are driven to make excuses for it.

>>712740983
reverse 1999 has a good premise and story but it seems it already fallen into a problem that is inherit to gachas. you never really get to know much about characters because they have to keep introducing a set of them every patch meaning not enough time for everyone.
year 2 has been better about including older side characters into the story but half of the stories they don't really do much
Sonetto is the mascot of the franchise and she's done jack shit
they at least know to keep Regulus and Matilda around to steal the show

FGO fans don't really call the gameplay surprisingly complex. I'd say the team building can be fun once you're in mid to late-game and have built up a decent roster with varied tools and niches, but I wouldn't say that makes it "surprisingly complex", more that that's where the basic fun of the game is.

The free units aren't the best in the game but several are great and the game can 100% be done with just f2p units.

The pic is spot on about the story, though yeah. First arc is rough, but late first arc and most of the second are pretty great. Also yeah, the soundtrack is awesome, though really, I feel like that part is just actually true of most gachas. BA, Arknights, FGO etc. all do have awesome soundtracks.

>>712740545 (OP)
soundtrack is pretty much the only thing a lot of gachas never do poor on

>>712752079
what the fuck am I looking at here?
>gameplay
yeah okay but what is happening actually?

The only gachas that are still full fledges games when you remove the gacha elements are Hoyoverse ones. You could easily just sell Genshin for $60 and have all its roster tied to unlocks ingame and people would say its a great game.

>>712752160
endless farming. one tab have the battle, the game is a browser game and you can skip every animation with f5, second tab is used for claim the rewards and start the quest again.
what is the "gameplay" farm around 2000-3000 fights for a f2p unit (usually strong or mandatory for endgame)

Who's middle right with the helmet?

>>712740545 (OP)
Which gachas can I play offline, with mods and infinite resource cheats?

>>712740545 (OP)
>Complex
Pretty much always only matters in the teambuilding stage, the gameplay itself is autobattle-level outside maybe the occasional challenge mission you didn't outscale eons ago.
>Generous
Was more of a problem early on when gambling laws were less established. Now it's relatively true that you can clear most gachas as a f2p, but that's not a selling point when it's a problem exclusive to gachas anyways.
>Free Units
Lolno, there's not a single gacha unaffected by powercreep. Not to mention there are many occasions where the devs feel the need to make a problem and sell the solution. Also a gacha-only problem.
>Story
There are gachas with good stories, but the quality is never consistent, and 90% of gacha stories are simple stories you'd see in any vidya. Many of them are slow burns that end up not being worth it. There's like, 2 gachas with a story I'm still invested in.
>Soundtrack
Gachas, like a lot of games, tend to have some fucking bangers. Not a reason to play them since you can just listen to the OST online.

>>712740545 (OP)
No F/GO player drops any word salads to defend their game though. I have mostly turned off playing, and the only reason I still have it on my phone is because I like to stare at my 6 year collection and occasionally get the urge to read the story. The gameplay, pull rates, graphics- everything is ass.

>>712740545 (OP)
Because they sure as hell aren't going to sell anyone on gameplay.

>>712740545 (OP)
I only play dokkan which is basically a bubble popping game for babies but has kino animations that dumps serotonin in my brain like all gambling simulators.

>>712753442
I don't understand how FGO has a bad rap for its pull rates at this point. At 0.8% for the rate up 5*, it's middle of the pack. The pity is dogshit, though, yes.

How do people not give Hoyo more shit for their 0.3% rate up 5*s? Yes the pity is low but that's only because the rates are even lower, it effectively makes every roll a treadmill of hitting pity every time.

>>712740545 (OP)
With the exception of Extra and FSN tracks FGO music sucks dicks.
And I am a week one player, tho I don't even play nowadays, I just log in once in a while.

>>712753442
FGO is a fucking ghoul that should just fucking die. Nobody cares about it anymore, not Nasu, not even the devs themselves. And to think that the game was THE king of gacha games.
>>712754117
Chink gacha slaves are much more loyal and desu it's still much easier to get an SSR. I literally only got my first one after playing the game for like 6 months.

>>712754193
That's you being intentionally dismissive of the FGO content because you're already invested in the older stuff. The original music is great.

>>712754117
Having it so each failed roll is also a step towards a guaranteed win feels better than a failed roll being completely wasted. Plus the floor is much better and you will never truly get fucked over by RNG.

>>712755807
At the same time though, on aggregate I'm less pissed off by FGO rolls. I have to go to pity maybe once or twice a year at worst, and in FGO there's an actual chance you can get a servant relatively early.

Part of why I'm dropping Star Rail is that the f2p experience is basically pity simulator. You farm for the entire patch and it gives exactly as much as you need to hit pity once and you never actually get lucky.

To be clear both are jewish bullshit designed to drain money. I just feel like Hoyo is the one that should be getting shit for their dogass rates more than anything.

>>712740545 (OP)
Leftover Christian influence in the west maintains a bias in people's minds that gambling is sinful and something to be ashamed of. Gacha is, ultimately, about gambling, so when a westerner plays one, they feel the need to qualify how it's not "really" about gambling, it's actually about something else.

The average normie wastes more money on one night at a concert or a nightclub than the average western gacha player spends in a month on gambling, but the stigma remains. Imagine saying you go to this or that bar, but having to qualify that it's not even about the alcohol, you actually go for the music, or the live shows, or the people, or the hot bartender, or whatever the fuck. That's what's going on here.

>>712740545 (OP)
Gacha fans are disingenuous. The truth of the matter is these games offer something in their respective genres, but they're tied to an awful monetization system that is also tied in to the progression system, everything is framed in the context of how they can get you to spend money. This creates interesting gameplay scenarios by itself, sort of like adding 100 pounds in your backpack when you go on a hike, though ultimately most people get around the challenges presented by spending money rather than gameplay ingenuity born of necessity from lack of other options.

Overall the entire genre is designed to suck your time as much as possible, so it's pretty shit, but those are some reasons there are things to enjoy in gacha games. Also Genshin is genuinely one of the best open-world games ever created if you like open-world games, just with all this unfortunate baggage, and it's even one of the most egregious in the time-wasting and money-grabbing department.

Well, master duel (if you count that as a gacha) is pretty generous in the sense that just playing the game is way more efficient than paying because of how expensive gems are. The mtx are just whale bait.

Grub is a browser game, so once you hit attack, the game has already determined everything and you can refresh the screen to instantly go to the results screen. Some people take this to a more extreme by using 2 windows to speed up the process. Of course this one works for fights you can clear in a single attack.

>>712740545 (OP)
I can't take anyone who uses the word "generous" when talking about gacha seriously. It's like saying that a casino is generous because they give you some free chips

>>712740545 (OP)
Because even most gacha players have internalized an insane mental image of what gacha is supposed to be, and their game being an exception is a surprise to them. In truth, most gacha are at worst acceptable games. People are just deranged about them.

>>712775069
>what gacha is supposed to be
Gacha is like vtubers, you find the girl you like and then spend on her. Then you hook up with other gacha players and circlejerk over how much you spent on your girl.

>>712775231
See, just like that.

>>712740545 (OP)
I don't sales pitch to anyone. Gacha is my own personal amusement and hell. I'm dissatisfied with the game market in general and being a tired old bastard, gacha fits the bill perfectly of turning off my brain for the most part except for challenge quests/missions for resources.

>>712761540
no, the appeal of gacha is gambling as well. The Japanese are simply very okay with it. Then China and Korea saw how much money it can get and here we are today.
The West has lootboxes and CS:GO skins.

>>712741751
Holy cope this post lmao

Gachaslop is the gateway to cuckoldry. I have interacted with Gachafags here and they are all cucks and erpfaggots.

You are LITERALLY paypigging money to have digital access to cards and animated images of waifus, not to see them naked or fuck them in-game, but just to have possession of them.

Then I, a non-gachaplaying BVLL just look up doujins for FREE and see every last inch of them get absolutely destroyed by the faceless guy I self insert into. You PAY for it, but you don't GET IT.

It is the ULTIMATE CVCK, PAY UP PAYPIGGY.

Everyone knows my game is a extremely shitty gatcha game. It's gameplay is surprisingly basic for a mobile game, even for its time, and are extremely stingy with resources. the free units are terrible, and the story is very shallow even past the first arc. And don't even think about listening to the music!

But the devs cater to a very small demographic and they're basicly the only game in town.

in a world where a full time job + overtime are needed to make ends meet, there leaves little room nor time for single player investment and gameplay.

if you look at the gameplay of any gacha it encompasses nearly 15 minutes-30 mintues

In the east, personal time is worse and understadable that they use gacha. This lifestyle hasn't hit america nor the west but i have no doubt it will happen.

Can any single player game give you 15-20 minutes of BARE gameplay?

I wish Genshin had cooler looking combat but I still prefer it to all of its clones, it just feels better. More polish and more satisfying to do stuff.

>>712759785
if the gameplay was bad, then why don't you turn it off. Just play something else. If you really like the gacha just comeback later.

>>712790476
I took a look at the WuWa thread and saw the character build with skills and items and whatnot and instantly knew that I would have to grind a lot or spend lots of money to max out a character or three if they happen to become my waifu.
It's like looking at those ZZZ endgame (?) videos and having no idea what's happening with the constant character switching and there's an entire page/guide of how to build them.
Can't really see them as anything but a big investment of time and effort.

This is true

>>712740545 (OP)
Because they aren't gatcha fans. Nobody is actively a FAN of these games in that way. It's something they play and are addicted to but they aren't looking to recruit people.
The people you see actively shilling gatcha games in threads here are all marketers. Every single one. Look at current games. Note how they all need a 24/7 general. More importantly, note how the OPs are ALWAYS positive. For almost any game on this board, a negative OP is the far more effective way to get engagement, but Gatcha games are EXCLUSIVELY discussed in threads with positive OPs. Hell it goes beyond this board, it's just human nature for how people talk about things. "This thing annoys me" or "I don't know how to do this" or "this would be so much better without X mechanic" or whatever. With Gatcha on /v/ there is none of that, because the people you see talking about it simply are not really talking about it.

>>712790553
If it makes you happy, then why not. not?

>>712790723
Yeah the focus seems more on the live service stuff compared to Genshin which is fundamentally an RPG version of BOTW with the gacha stuff just kind of tacked on and ignorable, though I like it all personally.
I skipped Wuwa because it just looks cheap in combat though, I don't really know if it's grind heavy or what you do in the game. After the graphical updates exploration looks pretty cool though. It's got some great environmental art design now.

This is just embarrassing on Genshin's part though, they could at least try to compete with the flashiness lol. ZZZ does it well, hell even their turn based game seems to have some cool stuff.

Of course not. But the sentiment for major games like the latest hoyo release is ALWAYS positive in OP. Usually via coomershit, but it's always a positive thing about a girl rather than shitting on another girl.

No, retard, because when you're charged by an entry fee nothing BUT the gameplay matters anymore. The profit motive for the developer is to ensure you like the game as much as possible, so you'll tell others and buy their next game. The gameplay exists to entertain you.
For a f2p game, the profit motive is to make you spend money. Everything else only matters in service to convincing you to spend more. Therefore, everything in a gatcha game including the gameplay IS about the gambling. The gameplay exists to make you gamble.

>>712791530
A method of promoting long-term engagement with the game, but crucially one that doesn't have a direct impact on the game because it is a flat payment per season. It pushes you to engage more with the game artificially because you need to grind out what you "already paid for", but the influence flows FROM your purchase TO the gameplay rather than the other way around. Shitty manipulative gameplay isn't capable of making anyone buy a battlepass for cosmetics.
Battlepasses are shit but they're a world better than gatcha shit.

>>712791649
this posts has literally zero logic contained in it, all games want you to play so they try to be appealing and entertaining
how they make money is usually completely irrelevant to the experience of the game itself

>>712791530
exploitation of people suspectible to fomo to boost ""engagement"", really it's just monetized dailies
such the external rewards are not simply about "making the most value" in terms of purely in-game rewards, but also actual monetary value
dunno much about that tactic desu, i don't play online shooters

why is the very name of the genre derived from gachapon then?

you can't convince a gachatard the the entire point of a gacha is to get you to roll more gacha

>n-nuh uh, i-it's just wrong
>I won't actually address what you're saying at its core though
Nah, gotta try harder than that.
If a game has a gambling mechanic, the developers are directly financially incentivized to intentionally drive the player to gamble via the gameplay. This is not the case for a game bought upfront.
You cannot deny my post without denying these facts.

You can get almost every character in GFL with f2p though.
The only thing you have to pay is their costumes.

I just like TD games and by nature of being a gacha there's a slow but steady stream of new maps and towers. And the fact it's JP only means it'll never be relevant on /vee/

Limbus is a downgrade compared to Ruina
Canto 1->4 are all forgettable slop
Canto 5 is women writing with "my imaginary whale that caused me trauma and hurt my feeling is more important than a literal giant whale that is a force of nature"
Canto 6 is only good if you have never played Ruina. If you played it, it just destroys the lore Ruina established
Canto 7 is all hype and aura, and the ending and events happen afterward just demonstrate how real character development is too much of an asking in gacha games

>>712792262
i dunno anon, the rates make it look like they just copied genshin.

It's been 5 years, and Genshin's original free units are still absolute monsters who rival even the Archons in their bestestness.

Correct.
I don't play gachaslop for "good writing", I play it so my harem of hot anime girls can suck my dick in all ways, including physical, while I foil the villain because I'm just too cool.

>>712740545 (OP)
Limbus at least is getting increasingly P2W every few months with slower and slower releases, but the limbabs are getting boiled slowly enough to slurp it up anyway

>>712783692
it good when it has content argruablely better story than ruina but i wish it was a real game or just a vn

>>712793240
Not anymore, 5.0 finally ushered in tangible powercreep. The upcoming abyss mode will be incompletable for f2ps or even dolphins apparently.

Because they need to rope more prospective whales into their game to stave off the EOS, which would mean that all their waifus are lost forever. Gacha games are the ultimate form of you'll own nothing slop.

>>712740735
You forgot when all they do is post images of characters looking sexy but never post the gameplay because they know the gameplay is probably one of the worst piles of shit out there.

The iphone came out when I was in highschool and I still have not played a game of any kind on a phone, let alone a gacha game. I skipped flappy bird, I skipped angry birds, I skipped puzzle and dragons, I skipped crossy road, I skipped pokemon go, I skipped among us, and I'm skipping gacha slop as well. This shit is for normies.

>>712740545 (OP)
My gacha's just like the other games. The gameplay's just like slay the spire and scamco will give you no SSRs unless you're a japanese guy who likes posting their rolls on twitter a lot, but the free idols are alright
The story's not so deep but honestly, these fantasy gachas try so fucking hard, especially the chink ones
The music's less idol-ish than the previous titles, and lean more into Jpop if you're into that
Soundtrack's underrated, to be honest. I like the ska/jazz shit they have going on

idk why vidya butts was there in the first place. GFL1 is a lot more fair compared to any gacha of the time and any gacha now. just super time consuming. as much as GFL "fits" the meme, something like Nikke actually ends up being that meme for the most part. Nikke doesn't have a deep story, especially the first moments of the story are so cliche and played so fast that it's funny. It's barely complex, most of its complexity comes in the form of "unit damage is tied to FPS because Korean devs... sorry..." The free units are shit. And Nikke is absolutely not generous until you finally make it past the wall. It fits the meme to the tee. The music is the only pass, since it's got a diverse array of artists they commission.

What was the name of that one gooner gacha game that had 3D models sort of

>>712796520
You have to be a bit more specific

>>712793503
Won't the abyss mode be co-op atleast?

>>712783692
You generally need only a battlepass in limbus, which is around 10 bucks. So, with current temp, 30 will last you for 2-3 years. Early adopters can have all units by only buying pass every season. And only pull on Walpurgis.

I hate gacha slop as much as the other guy but you are retarded if you think these games don't attract actual financial wales.

Any gachafag that tries to sell you on story is a retard.
These games have by far the biggest case of ludonarrative dissonance imaginable, your party of characters is not reflected in the story at all and often times you'll be using units hours and hours before you even canonically meet them in the story.
Imagine playing FF7 but you just have Cid there in every battle during the Midgar section - no one acknowledges him and you still have the scene where you meet him in Rocket Town, but once gameplay switches over there he is every time.
And let's not even get into the amount of one time events that further the story too but are no longer available.

The casino equivalent would be a casino giving you the exact prize you want after 100 tries, and tries only cost money if you refuse to hang out at the bar where they hand out free tickets.

>>712799482

>>712799783
That's a rich way of framing it considering the daily playtime of your average gacha game for non-paying users is like what? 20 minutes?
Add it all up and you're rolling every 2 hours of playtime or so.

>>712800010
what point are you trying to make other than you're just guessing how much people play video games daily(why even guess? you have no idea).

>>712799978
The difference is what you manage to cash out of the casino is yours to keep. With gachas EOS eventually wipes EVERYTHING. It's like if the casino went bankrupt, all players would have to return their winnings to be ritually burned.

The Blue Archive player is immunized against all crticism: one may call him a gambling addict, coomer, sexpest, pedophile, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat.

How you liking the mistake that is affix team meta, skk? Fucking hell they added a new type of affix with the new bianca in CN too

>>712791136
GFL1 being arguably a notgacha didn't have to suffer from this as they didn't make you pull for units, update cycle was not regular at all and they had a lot of freedom to write the story in whichever way they wanted.
GFL2 fucked it up because they went forward with the characters centric short patch format and they can't be bothered to move the plot more than a single inch if it isn't about the character. It's awful.
How did late PNC handle the story? I hope they stop doing this shit, all they do is milk the players with returning characters and the ones they brought new have been benched horribly.

>>712804765
I stopped playing after the book where they go to hell and they fight skeleton people with jelly bodies. Is the powercreep still awful or did they fix it?

Nikke FGO and Limbus unironically have better story and writing than most "Real" games from the last two decades
Nikke OST is amazing, one of the few games I have its soundtrack in my playlist. Gacha games in general have great OST it is the one thing you can't shit on

I actually like the team building elements of some gacha games like Nikke and pokemon masters
When you have 150 units and you need to make 5 distinct teams and figuring out the best synergy for the event boss

Nikke especially needs a 3D game, the cast is so likable to be stuck in a VN style game. An anime also would do

>>712791797
Yeah. The regular missions are mostly just a level check, something you'll just unlock as you play. The raids/pvp can actually be tough and require you to play with student combinations and ex move timings. PvP is automated (you deploy the team but don't get to actively control them afterwards) but also comes down to your team building and doesn't need to follow a strict meta.

I've only played a couple other gacha otherwise (ZZZ and GF/GF2) so my range is pretty limited, but I can honestly say that I find BA to be pretty fun.

Well the thing about Genshin Impact is that if you don't engage with the Gacha at all your experience with the game is only mildly different than someone who spends thousands on it. Like there's no story content locked behind the gacha, the only thing you get is some cosmetic skin and a mildly different moveset. The fucking meta exists only for some endless grind mode for stupid people.
