Blue archive is the most popular video game in Japan right now. Let that sink in.

This just means the games with the most porn

Want to hear a funny joke?

So that's the power of cunny

"video game"

Don't the developers pay artists to make doujins?

>>714546937 (OP)
Cultural flotsam. In 10 years, Touhou and Type Moon will still be in that list, but nobody will remember BA.

>>714547305
Only seething weebs say this to smear their reputation.

I love how none of these fanbases in there give a shit about making everyone know they are porn addicts
Yet BAfaggots literally everywhere they go they need to make themselves known

Yes and BA is the most astroturfed of them all.

LMAO. BAtrannies are papertiger and steamchart doesn't lie

Is it too late to start Blue Archive?

I think I recall seeing in a thread that if you don't pull Hirohito from something during this event thing you are doomed to suck forever?

>>714548132
Genshin is the true FGO killer. Before it was always on top chart.

>>714548019
Their gacha attempt keeps failing for some reason
Funny how Im@s is eating their lunch with their "school idol" setting, while Love Live's latest iteration doesn't even set in a proper school setting (they come up with a meme small office building and call it "school")

Nexon would never :)))
They also would never post fake pull rates :)))

>>714548832
Uma global is the 1.0 version but they've decided to speed up most of the banners from the last ~4 years on the JP server. The global client doesn't even get most of the QoL stuff from the Japanese version.

>>714548019
Pretty sure the IP owner has made it illegal to make/sell smut of love live.

did they hire artists again? oh someone already posted it

goddamn i havent seen hoyo sink that low

>>714547417
I like seeing touhou here and there but I feel that after a +20 year run since it got popular the only people still into it are severely mentally ill. Stagnant water rots

>>714547878
Isn't this against steam rules?
It would be hilarious if they get banned themselves out of steam, again.

Mobile devices and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

Azulu lane sissies...

>>714549351
Doubt it, you don't get anything for reviewing. It's something everyone collectively gets whether they reviewed or not.

>gook trash dominated the nips event

it incentivises people to leave reviews, which is against Steam's ToS.

You fucking retard.

>>714549902
I always associate Kancolle with the death of otaku culture. Like right on the dot when it came out things started going to shit. Every single one of those ancient blog-mainly artists I followed drew a boat bitch and then promptly fucking died. Seriously, look up some old artist and over half of the time the last thing they drew was Kancolle before disappearing off the face of the earth. Really bizarre.

>>714547417
Nigga in 10 years KanColle is still on the list
In 20 years 2hu is still there
Blue Archive is analogous to KanColle, it ain't going away and it's been 5 years already

>>714547305
Is this supposed to be a bad thing?

>>714550508
I have seen plenty of artist profiles where they stopped producing 5-10 years ago and while some may have ended with the last image uploaded being kancolle, I can't say I have noticed such a concrete trend or pattern. Some may have died, gotten other jobs, changed names or lost interest you know.

>>714550516
see kancolle is based in nippon banzai warship otaku shit
blue archive have no cultural base to anchor to
id say only kancolle and uma have staying power.

>>714548921
And it’s still doing better. What exactly is your point?

cunny????

>>714548654
they are extremely retarded. day one and they are Breaking steams ToS with their review campaign

>>714550508
True. Saw it happen. This and twitter were the death of otaku culture.
With artists, either they disappeared at this point or they moved to xitter and their style became more and more generic.

lol is BA supposed to appeal to paintball larpers now haha even gfl does a better job of tacticool. Stop pretending the game is anything more than loli pandering slop.

>>714546937 (OP)
Can some kind anon explain what the numbers represent?

>blue archive
lol

>>714551947
Imagine apologizing for using a tool.

>>714551891
means how many circles (circle mean an individual or group of artists/musicians/whatever) submitted a work with that particular IP in mind. I do think lumping vtubers and 'gacha others' together is kinda cheating.

>>714551241
Maybe I am, whippersnapper.

I miss real otaku bunka. I want to go back.

>>714546937 (OP)
Love Live is still hanging on, huh?

>>714550867
If someone wanted gun autism, they’d at least play GFL. BA is fantasy gun game #36281 and will drop off once the commission paychecks stop rolling in.

I’m honestly surprised people still go to Comiket.

>>714547305
>>714547779
>source is sankaku complex
Literally worse than Kotaku

>>714552285
what makes you think otherwise? their digital versions (AIR comiket or sth) flopped even with covid boost. Where else would they go?

>>714548019
I’m more surprised it’s even on the list. It’s become niche even in Japan. Making an entire gen youtube-only with really low budget 3d animations probably didn’t help.

>>714547305
>>714547779
really?
thats great

>>714552204
>BA is fantasy gun game
You probably want to go back to the paid artists argument

>>714547305
yes they are dumping TENS of MILLIONS into the production of loli porn even as we speak
something needs to be done

>>714552576
Just not go? It’s a fucking shitshow in the most grueling part of the summer and coldest part of the winter and for what? To waste money on porn that you’ll read once that you could have gotten for free online? Foreigners (in this case China/Korea) have ruined Japanese media and Comiket no longer the grassroots event its supposed to be.

>>714552204
>>714552784
>>714550867
but what if they want gun autism/fantasy gun game that is wholesome and idealistic rather then grimdark?

>>714552784
Is knowing how a bolt action works somehow supposed to impress me? I guess for a chink that’s never seen a gun in his life this is some sort of autistic level of detail but it’s not. The shit on the left side doesn’t even make sense. It’s gun fantasy and you’re a retard subhuman.

>Gacha game where like a 1/2 of the characters can't have kids with the MC because race mixing is not possible in-series lore
>Multiple timelines bullshit because the writers couldn't figure out how to weld event stories with the main story
>There is actually an alternate timeline which the MC marries one of the girls (different race girl, so they can only adopt lol it can be a lesbian marriage too depending on which sex the player chooses)
>Every time a new "event storyline" happens that's hype, it always shits the bed in later continuations
>Every Anniversary event (which are supposed to be the most hyped stuff) always starts good, but then immediately shits the bed
>Not something I personally care about, but the writers either try to have their cake and eat it by shipping certain characters with the MC but also other characters (not in a harem way), or just ship characters together and don't involve the MC at all, which is sort of "antithetical" to the sort of business model of gacha games. These ships vary between being gay or straight.

popularity means nothing when you cant sustain it. Look at 2hu. They got kids as early as 4 hopping (or forced lol) on to the fanbase by their dad/mom/sibling.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr4NJ-GAyAo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_h7PTDUxoQ

you baggots are laughing now but we'll see in the long run.
lol can you imagine 10-15 years from now some nip kid saying their fave is asuna (bbc/ntr) or mari (nun/corruption) or whoever fotm the fanbase is jacking off to and the knew game because of their creepy uncle?

>>714554637
>>714555240
I guess this is something players had a problem with that I didn't care about, but the game also started putting in a bunch of "dual" or "group" units, where it would be 2-3 characters as a single unit, which kinda pissed people off. I remember reading an argument that was something like "dual units basically tie the characters together in a way that makes it so they stop being individual characters: or something. The argument seemed absurd to me because characters got different alts all the time.
Also, going back to the "no race mixing" thing, there was actually a canon couple very early in game (Stan and Aliza). They are both different races, so a couple that was established very early in the game's life are unable to have a child together unless you count the ability to adopt.

>>714553490
Japan has been into vtubers for like 9 years. It's commonplace for them, with vtubers being fucking everywhere. Except in this case it's Hololive and not "vtubers" since the only reason vtubers are popular at all is thanks to them.
Their newly-released Hololive TCG made like $43m since September of last year according to financial reports.

>>714547060
I swear to God every game this guy has made music for since he left Square has been fucking cursed in one way or another

>>714547779
I feel dumb because I don't follow.
Why is commissioning art bad? Or are they trying to keep it a secret for some reason?
Hell, the steam sale right now is using a commissioned artist just like last year.

Or is the specific problem it being labeled as FAN art? I suppose it couldn't be fanart if the company itself was paying for it.

>>714555776

>Making an entire gen youtube-only with really low budget 3d animations probably didn’t help.
are you talking about hasunosora? I barely heard about them kek

>>714555783
TLDR they are astroturfing popularity by paying artists to do doujins and fanart and having them not disclose it.

>>714553127
It's probably merch that's only sold there and gone forever

>>714555783
It's against comiket rules, only doujinshi is allowed so that means no corporate sponsorship. In other words the schizo thinks thousands of artists did this for several comikets in a row without getting caught

surprised this hasn't been posted yet

>>714548019
Got its shit pushed in by im@s. Rightfully so, im@s trumps it in every category (art style, music, fuckable girls).

>>714556209
They did get caught all the time around 2 years ago, the thing is after comiket added a rule where you had to legally disclose if you received money in exchange for doing a specific doujin, gooks started doing the kike thing where they stopped handing out money and started handing out gifts like consoles, etc, and because technically no money was exchanged, it technically isn't a corporate sponsorship.

What the fuck is Blue Archive even about? All I know about it is that it has a truckload of loli porn.

>>714552103
Thanks anon.

Otaku culture is dead, it is a corporate homogenized machine that doesn't even care about its original base of otaku anymore. Akihabara? Tourist trap. Arcades? 99% shut down. Nakano the supposed new Akihabara? A ghost town that barely houses any merchandise anymore as its all online, including 95% of ero content. Gacha nippon banzai nationalist otaku train/ship autism? Largely destroyed and rotting, look at most gacha adverts its all Chinese or Korean. 3DPD? Well anon, 3DPD literally won, vtubers fucking won so hard and replaced idol slop. Visual Novels? Virtually dead and raped, Exhibit A. Alicesoft is a walking corpse, Sca-di himself stated its nigh impossible to make a high profile, big budget キャラゲー, moege is all that remains. Japanese gaming companies? Pander to westerners, largely ran by westaboos now. Anime? Same idea. Manga? Come on dude really? Otaku? Vanished. What's left? EOP's .

>>714556641
>look at most gacha adverts its all Chinese or Korean.
tanaka-kun is busy playing Pachislot though.

>>714556382
Fun fact! The newest IMAS gacha is making so much money despite being JP exclusive that literally all gachaslop revenue charts outright refuse to add it to their charts because it would spank all gook and chinkslop even with the cope multipliers.

>>714556641
>vtubers fucking won so hard and replaced idol slop
This is a good thing but you're also wrong.
Vtubers replaced all the standard idols but they're STILL idols. This is mostly due to "Vtubers" being Hololive and Hololive being focused completely on "virtual idol" stuff. Hell, Universal Music Japan has holos hired and everything.

>>714556641
i have been hearing this "otaku culture is dead" cope since i started to hear it alongside "2hu is reclining" a literal goddamn decade ago and chinky gooks are still desperate for any scraps of relevance today by spamming ads for games that keep bleeding money

>>714555240
This is your brain on ML brainrot. There's a billion things worse about the game like the powercreep, gay faggots being pushed everywhere, gameplay being archaic, GW sucking the soul out of every player , but you're crying about MC not having every single girl instantly wanting his (or her, DJ is and ALWAYS was the most popular MC) dick like it's the worst thing about the game, when at least 50% already does.

Anyone else find it weird how BA gets so much art and yet when it comes to sales and players it's always low?
Before people would say the sales are low because the chinks like. But the numbers are low on steam as well so it looks like it adds up.
How does it get so much art while under performing in every other metric?

>>714556992

>>714547305
No. There's indirect financial support on some shit, as some doujin artists are stringers and freelancers for developers. But that's unusual, and in the range of indivividual images. A doujin is a lot more work. Consider how much comissioning a doujin costs vs ad spends and eyeballs.

>>714547592
>other than what compulsive masturbators are into
That is an incredibly important metric. People's dicks drive a hell of a lot of economic activity..

>>714557057
I post in ba threads and don't play the game. There's likely hundreds, thousands of people like me out there.

>>714556641
I dont understand how otaku would shit on real women constantly, and then a real woman pretends to be an anime girl and somehow they become the most popular things in otaku culture.

>>714557057
Just like Touhou, the doujins are larger than the actual content.

>>714546937 (OP)
Retard.
>>714547451

Same. I played the game for a month or so but I couldn't stand the gameplay, if you can even call it that.

>>714557457

Trust me I know, I've been saying for a long time BA is a astroturfed piece if shit where people aren't actually fans of the game but just the porn. The community is built around the astroturfed art scene and not the game
Thank you steam for proving me right

>>714557475
>and then a real woman pretends to be an anime girl and somehow they become the most popular things in otaku culture.
Concerts. Hololive has one grand concert over the course of three days (Holofes) where everybody in the company participates. Then hololive vtubers have varying amounts of concerts (ranging from birthday concert lives to real concerts).
Earlier this year they even had concerts in California, and some had to do 11 concerts last year due to world tours.

Six finger trap is actually not that uncommon. It's not a definitive AI tell.

>>714557663
Don't listen to the shitposter about the number of lolis, there are several. He's right about the rest though, the gameplay was obsolete from the day it released (this released AFTER genshin, it's a miracle it even still exists today).

>>714557057
Touhou effect. Game is also very short to complete dailies so you never see people on for very long outside of raid grinding for plat or reading new stories.

>>714557638
Android: The usual japan play store region thing. No network regionlocking so once you have it downloaded you can play it without any VPN.
PC: Install DMM game player and make an account there. When running the dmm player, you need Japan vpn (just use softether). Once the game has been launched and is in title screen, you can disconnect and still play the game (or do the asset download).

You can bind the android and pc account together if you make a bandai namco id.

the only bigger trend hoppers than japs who play gacha games are japs who draw fan art of gacha games. japs have no backbones so when a game inevitably becomes enshittified they just quietly drop it and jump onto the next game. first it was rage of bahamut, then it was cinderella girls, then it was granblue fantasy, then it was princess connect, then uma musume, and now it's blue archive. meanwhile non-gacha franchises like 2hu and cumcolle survive like cockroaches with their hyper autistic fanbases.

well for one thing the gameplay looks like this. for another thing it was basically the original mixed toilet gacha game. they have had multiple characters and paid skins with naked man ass.

Last time devs talked about game revenue they said it already had made its money back and then some IIRC. The only real issue was main writer and former artists sabotaging the game before leaving to make their clone.

I can tell you people aren't because whenever I see one of you fags post your homescreen there's HUNDREDS of unread momotalks. Then you mfers have the nerve to act like BA is some great waifu game with good pandering.
When in reality it's just the same old beat around the bush slop in every gacha, which is why you fags can't even do your momotalks since you KNOW that shit is gonna be boring

>>714558517
Doubt nexon is going to actually let the game EOS, gooks have too much reputation at stake to let any big name die.
That said, the game is already in it's full jew mode like the dark ages of maplestory, so expect your grind to be torture or fork over a LOT of money for the girls you want.

>>714558563
>back in the day i thought they will be the first one making something like genshart with granblue IP
They effectively did with relink.
So far that's one of the few real games that have come out of gachaslop money, with the second one being gook blade.
And IIRC that's kind of it.

>>714556641
This is what living in a bubble sounds like.

Yes. The game is four years old, most people just do their dailies and log off.

they don't give devs negative feedback to try to take them to task and make the games less shitty. when gooks and chinks get mad about something a dev does they completely chimp out and do everything they can to try to force the devs to respond from review bombing to hate mail to paying for a blimp to hover over the dev's office with their complaint on the side of it. when japs are mad about something they make a few passive aggressive comments on twitter and either keep playing or quit.

>>714557929
I don't understand why there are so many different versions of idolm@ster. if you include the one with boy idols there's like 6 different ones. what the hell does gakuen do that's different from million live or shiny colors?

>>714558784

The premise is simple, you raise idols' parameters through lessons to aim for an audition 1st place then have a concert. I'll use StS terms to describe the gameplay but it's as you see in pic related.

It's a roguelite in that your idols gain permanent buffs once you progress their story (really easy) and each run gets you a "memory" containing a card and some buffs that you can bring to subsequent runs (up to 4).

>>714558882
The other branches are fairly dated and their games are nowhere nearly as polished. Gakuen is developed by a newer studio and can be enjoyed fully without any prior idolm@ster knowledge.

i mean is it a good game? i jerk off to the porn all the time

>>714559247
NTA but any imas game that has released in real consoles? Don't care if it's JP only as I have been fluent on it for over a decade.

>>714558772
it's not wrong though. if you look at the top jap developed gachashits almost every one is just cashing in on boomer franchises. the only one that isn't based on some 10+ year old ip is horse girls, and even that is just a new spin on the same idolshit they have been pumping out for ages. even if you look at the anime season that just started over half of it is sequels to crap from years ago and most of the rest is isekaislop. japan has finally reached the point where america was when every new movie became capeshit or a remake of an old one because they had completely lost the ability to make new material.

>>714554637
it was a cool lite 2d mmorpg with a gacha system that dominated the market around 2016-2018, it also set the standard of the gacha system nowadays, back then there wasn't a safety net of getting the character you want, because of a controversy gbf caused, all gacha games now has to have it and they are also forced to publicly put the % chance of obtaining character/items inside the gacha
at that time it was good, god tier music, nice gameplay, good progressions, relatively f2p, nice waifus and doujins were fucking everywhere for gbf at that time
years later with the directors agenda of mixed toilet, bloat systems and so much mat grinds it fell off and probably on its way to eos
oh yeah and there's an arpg that took way too long to release and 2 fighting games because the first one released during covid with no rollback so they can't play online else its a lagfest, and since its during covid they can't meet in person so they made a second one with a better netcode
relink was so good that I wish they didn't abandon it a few months after release, if they ever make gbf 2 electric boogaloo they should use relink as the base
iirc their goal at the start was to make a real game instead of a gacha that is better than FF as some of their staff came from squeenix

>>714559921
Nope. I've played many gacha since and play a few concurrently right now and I have never played a gacha I've liked as much as BA. Oh also I was somewhat put off of Arknights due to how old it is since it's generally better to start a gacha early in it's life cycle and BA wasn't even a year old at the time. That was also a factor.

Gacha are not video games. Movies are not video games too.

I'll never understand why this website is so obsessed with Japan.

jap companies don't care about otaku opinions because they're culturally buck broken. look at the dq3 censorship issue. fans were unhappy. the series creator even complained about it in an interview. did anything happen? no, it launched with the censorship and people bought it anyway. otaku will never stand up for themselves and they're a small enough part of the market now that game devs can just ignore them and the ones indignant enough to boycott the game won't matter.

Blue Archive is the very definition of "fake popularity". Ironic weebs just like the generic designs.

The western side for otaku is mostly poisoned by irony induced fans (cant actually admit to liking fanservice,lolis or jks afterall as that is morally wrong) and shonen normalfags, blame them for raping it, not all EOP's were like this in the past. Luckily any series with those things tends to gatekeep the undesirables.

Catering to ugly fujoshi with male units is not a good long term strategy. First of all, we have to dispose of this myth that women even play video games. Most of them don't. They only like going to shopping malls and traveling to exotic locations. Men like to stay home and masturbate. Somehow Japanese game designers forgot this

The other problem is that when fujos latch onto a character they LATCH ON. The Sandalphon cadre will *never* like another male. Ever. Same with the homoknights.

He's right though. Generosity doesn't just mean how many rolls you get. Nikke is too much of a sweat lord autism fest to be considered generous.

How are they so popular, is it really just pedos?

>>714562264
it seems the chart is only for how fast the gem income is, not just free rolls, and getting enough gems for a spark in nikke takes a long time.
However the rate up for characters can be ridiculously low, it's 1% for pilgrims, so a lot of players only get them through sparks

If you've played Nikke and BA and can't tell the difference between how heavily Nikke comparatively pushes you towards whaling with it's obnoxious flash sales, it's infinite level grind and it's 9 trillion PVP and score chasing modes then you're just being disingenuous. It's also not really that difficult for a f2p player to compete with whales in end game in BA since whales just don't have as much of an advantage except for having more characters.
>t.actually plays both Nikke and BA(unlike you)

At least with idols and kpop and shit, they're aware that these are actual women, they're just delusional about being pure maidens that they will one day marry and other hallucinations that are the product those agencies sell.
The actual hilarious offshoot are the vtumors and their cancerous fanbase talking about "3dpd" and "roasties" meanwhile they worship some ugly bitch puppeteering an anime model likely made by a man

>>714562482
I'll assume BA is like Last Origin (haven't played BA), so you can basically clean the whole campaign / story using any characters as long as you know how to use them
Nikke on the other hand have some characters who make a big difference, basically play on easy mode (like Crown). And the level / damage / numbers in general keep escalating
Obviously if you don't care too much about that you can keep playing the game at your pace

Japan Wins.

Sandalphon is a strange case. I know faggots who know that character despite never ever playing a granblue game. Cygames somehow made the gay fujo version of 2b and then put 2b in the same vidya which is ironic.

Why play the trash game when you can just jack off to the characters?

>>714562948
>spend so long walled on campaign that I forget what is happening
Nikke by far has the stupidest campaign mode I've ever seen in a gacha game. You literally have hard mode as an alternative that you can make scale heavily to block progression. Why the fuck does it take 8 months of grinding just to actually read the fucking story?

>>714562928

>>714562996
Sandy became extremely popular with western secondaries somehow. Granblue Fantasy Versus has character request polls and while most of the top ten were female characters (even ones that don’t appear on the gacha polls at all like Aliza, Anila, Silva, etc…) Sandalphon STILL topped every region poll.
Now maybe that was mentally ill fujoshi botting the shit out of them but I have my doubts given how many western men I saw be excited for the character.

KanColle's only mistake was never releasing an EN version, it would've shat all over today's trash, both in drop availability (because it's not gachaslop and you get your drops by actually playing the damn game) and in gameplay (sure it's an autobattler but there are layers of strategic depth to actually preparing the fleet comp and loadout, there is no single "best" option). But Tanaka hates money.

>>714572139

Don't you get it? Otaku culture is dying and the few that still exist went into hiding from all the normalfags. It's not "otaku" as we understood it anymore, the culture has been invaded by westerners, cosplaywhores, gooners, secondaries, straight up normalfags who only watch YT/Twitch.

It's obvious that the otaku consumer base has been replaced because it was niche and insular so how can it now be breaking record sales with gacha, vtuber viewership etc? Owari da.

>>714546937 (OP)
BA has more doujins than Demon Slayer does so clearly BA is more popular than Demon Slayer in Japan by that logic

BA spent it's first 1.5 years being barely relevant, only managing an occasional 1-2 month fotm like Iroha.

>>714576914
Bunnies did not increase the game's revenue nor playerbase.Asuna herself was ranked pretty low in first year popularity contests too. Only secondaries think they were popular.

>>714577041
You are a lying faggot retard using my previous facts against me. "Asuna isn't that popular".

You're trying to extract that into the first year sales. I literally want to kill you right now and shove a bullet through your skull with your deception. Why are you being deceptive here? What do you gain?

Just finished Chapter 1 in the story mode.
Honestly, I really enjoyed it. Getting into Sensei's shoes is fun (he's not nearly as inert as most gacha protags), the girls are all cute, and the villains are pure evil and loving it, it's fun to oppose them.
The only complaint is that they did nothing to actually establish the world, I had to look things up online just to figure out what's happening, where, and why. A short chapter establishing the role of a Sensei and the setting would've been welcome.
I'll continue going though the story mode for now, although it seems to only be 6 chapters, I expected more given that the game is by no means new.

>>714547660
you're telling me the popularity is artificial?!

Stop being a dishonest fucking faggot.

>>714577765
>exploded in art the moment the bunnies came six months into the game and has not slowed down.
Which is patently false. The success of bunnies did not carry over to the playerbase or the following characters, it was the textbook definition of a secondary fotm. The playerbase itself didn't really like Asuna either. Go see jap/korean popularity results of the game's first year.

>>714577646
You can't convince him he's wrong, he lives in his own reality where he is always right.

>>714577962
??? lol you've been saying this about every single character who comes out and gets a flood of art. I suppose you will be saying it unto eternity.

Stop samefagging yourself.

Touhou is kinda special in that regard in that the entire setting is made for fanfics and that you don't need to interact with the games to participate.

There's no samefagging here, not everyone is as mentally ill as (you).

>Woah you described BA
No, BA is pretty strict in it's setting. Touhou and to a lesser extent Kancolle have almost no worldbuilding rules.

>pretty strict in its setting
It's not at all and that's exactly why it's popular just like Touhou.
