Wtf happened /v/

no one plays the game, they just jack off to the girls

gacha will always be mobile shit for poor people and idiots with emotional issues.
Why the fuck would you play it when you got thousands of actual games for free, and more if you pirate.

>>714622662 (OP)
Very hot designs, but game itself is garbage. Seriously gameplay is a joke even for gacha standards. And MC is the worst gary stu in gacha history.

>>714622662 (OP)
Anime had a piece of shit male self-insert. Eat shit

Region locked in China and Japan

The girls look great, but I just don't think the novelty of phone game routines endures for very long, especially when you have to start over with a new game.

>>714622662 (OP)
why do you care about this so much?

>>714622662 (OP)
I love the designs but I got bored of the game. It was fun for a little bit but all the gacha shit turns into the same shit later and I don't want to play a game every day for years. I think guilds in gacha games are mistake cause otherwise I'd just take a break like I do with genshit.

>>714622662 (OP)
It's always you FGO fans that keep saying BA was supposed to kill it when no one ever said that.

>>714623364
This looks so random.
>>714622662 (OP)
Anyway, I'm actually somewhat interested in playing games like wuwa and BA on steam because of some characters, but fomo gacha is such a turnoff.

the truth is even the most successful gachas have far far smaller playerbases than you would expect

>>714623364
For what reasons?

>>714622662 (OP)
The dailies take 5 minutes, do you expect people to sit with the game open all day?

>>714623856
Yostar handles the clients there while Nexon handles global, it's probably some contractual issues. Japan is pissed about it though because the PC client is much faster and higher quality than mobile.

>>714623772
Aside from two collabs BA doesn't have fomo, all events get archived and students banners rerun yearly

>>714623132
Uh...yeah? The game panders to self-inserts, are you some kind of yuritroon?

>>714623690
this is the only reason to play

>>714623964
Have they not heard of VPNs?

Gacha is shit.

Also BA is 18+ plus. That locks out any place like say, Germany from getting the game at all since they ban all 18 adult games

>>714623060
>MC is the worst gary stu
>can't fight, gets beat up constantly
I agree, he is pretty bad. Gary Stus peaked with Conan and James Bond and other old pulp heroes. All protagonists since then feel like jokes.

Didn't their game director say that they have 2 million players?

>>714624027
YES DAMN IT AND IT'S MA'AM

>>714623849
Gacha games are daily chore simulators so concurrent player counts are never an accurate representation of the total size of the playerbase. Especially ones that are more mobile friendly. They obviously have pretty sizeable playerbases if they can support higher budget games and many games in a large market.

>>714624027
The problem is that anime sensei was a fag who looked like a girl. He should have been a huge balding old man, or a jacked gigachad, like in the hentai doujins I read.

>>714624107
Most people are not going to buy a VPN just to play a mobile game. The people who do that are from countries like Germany where a huge number of games get blocked.

The playercount is dropping quick as they realise there is nothing of value beyond the character designs. All the shilling on /v/ is all just the work of mentally ill waifu shitstains

>>714624278
There are free/cheap VPNs that are good enough for a mobile game.
Mudfish lasts years for one $5 payment.

>>714623964
poor bastards, they really fucked them over
isn't Japan their biggest audience too?

>>714623752
I've noticed a good number of BA players at least here also play BA or migrated, so maybe they're salty?
The reality is FGO is entirely sustained by it's whales and only because it's a Fate/Type Moon title, so I suspect all the shit they throw at everyone else is just some form of coping.

>>714624117
That includes mobile and the JP server players

>>714624468
Also play FGO*

>>714624348
Kind of a hassle when you could just play it on mobile like usual. VPNs are good for buying foreign currency or playing games that have no global release whatsoever but very few people are going to go through the trouble. If they were then you wouldn't see people complaining about this kind of thing happening all the time

>>714622662 (OP)
SEAPAG game lol

>>714624482
pretty good for a 4 year late port vs 2 new games

>>714622662 (OP)
nobody plays Blue Archive for more than 5 minutes at a time because of how fast the dailies are. Meanwhile Uma Musume is a fucking fulltime job

>>714624594
idk, if the client is much better then it's worth it, just how i see it, but it is a shitty mobile game no one cares about actually playing so i guess makes sense no one cares to do that

>>714624720
I can do all dailies in under 30 minutes with everything on skip

>>714624109
>Also BA is 18+ plus
not anymore, they changed to get approved. Germany banned it because of lootboxes

>>714624720
Nobody would be willing to play BA for an extended period because it's not a good game. People enjoy Uma and don't mind spending time with it.

>>714622662 (OP)
G*cha isn't video games.

If people on PC want to idle for rewards and shiny bullshit they'll bot up on TF2 or CSGO for that 0.00001% chance of getting something worth money.
All the porn of this game is viewable in 4k on PC, only a phonecuck would ever think of actually """playing""" it.

It sucks like other gacha games

>>714624107
what would a VPN do? Japan is an entirely different server, people arent going to restart just for the PC client on a server thats months behind. And you can still use bluestacks just fine

>>714624819
BA is more of a visual novel. The main appeal is reading the new events and stories as they come out. The gameplay and music is just there to see your girls being cute for a few minutes a day. The most taxing gameplay is the raids and you can literally just use garbage and clear insane with guaranteed gold which is only 200 less polys every couple of weeks so like 3 rolls a month that you're losing(actually less with stuff like grand assault now since you get a 10-roll ticket regardless of placement).

The "game" is just super chill and probably the most casual gacha you could play with pretty much no fomo since limited banners are rare and if you save up then you can get them all unless you are very unlucky(and you will get spooked by all the standard characters you skipped before the limited banners).

BA is way too generous with its monetization, they could easily be pushing more fomo or limited cosmetics or something but they choose to push out merchandise instead and it shits it out. Always new figures or plushies and stuff coming out and I wouldn't be surprised if it earns more than the actual game revenue.

>>714625162

It's a PNG collector gacha, isn't it? These things aren't real games.

>>714625438
I just finished ZZZ dailies forgive me Mibibi(ZZZ also has really short dailies too). Actually, most gacha games before Genshin were more grindy(Genshin had longer dailies at launch). Umamusume released at that time before you saw the transition from longer dailies to very short ones so that's why it is so long compared to modern gacha games. Genshin and BA were some of the first to really emphasize making dailies shorter. Before then you had like priconne/Azur Lane/GBF/FGO etc. Event farming and the likes in FGO sucks when you think about how you can sweep in stages for gacha now(most gacha with sweep mechanics required you to farm/use actual currency like sweep tickets to skip the autobattle).

>>714622662 (OP)
Hilarious seeing steamcharts fags coming for a gacha game that the average player spends 30 minutes a day on and already has installed on their phones. Sure is perplexing how there aren't concurrent users spending all day playing an auto-battler with a sweep function.

>>714623364
So is Uma and that didn't stop it from being a runaway success

Horsies won, they cute hehe

No seriously why the fuck do mobile games get 24 hour generals on here? There's a reason we made /vg/ over a decade ago and why we made /vm/ almost five years ago, you're annoying as fuck and we want you gone

>>714625721
No, you're going in the Tiger cage

>>714624941
A lot of modern gacha are indeed video games. Wuwa/Genshin/ZZZ etc. have very little difference between a normal AAA gaming experience except for having to save currency to get the characters where a regular game would just give them all to you. They don't even punish f2p players that hard for not whaling like the 2D ones tend to do.

>>714625815
Uma is a fresh start though

>>714622662 (OP)
eat shit vg turd

>>714625461
It's cute chibi collector but you're right, the gameplay barely exists and just serves to enhance the actual content which is the visual novel aspect.

>>714626331
Reminds me of an old series I enjoy

>>714622662 (OP)
Well clearly you are a retard then.

>>714625743
>30 minutes
BA dailies take 5 minutes and you can even sweep the raids once you've done them once in the week(in the case of grand assault happening right now). The only time you ever spend more than that in game is when you're reading new events.

kek they even made it possible to even skip actual stages in a casual mode as in not even having to first clear them anymore. They know no one gives a shit about the gameplay for this game.

>>714626087
Is it really worse than 24/7 console wars and politic threads? Gacha games are just that popular now that there's always going to be discussion surrounding them.

>>714624107
>just retard your multiple year old account
are you stupid? people don't do this, ever. nothing will make them.
you either launch fresh start for the game, or you allow them to transfer their current accounts to the pc client. or better yet, simply allow them to tie their mobile account to the pc client and use both simultaneously

>>714626087

BA fandom literally got a government censorship board shut down in Korea and investigated for fraud because of some censorship demand for the age rating of the game years back.

>>714626872
Yeah the korean fandom. Westoids are posers.

I'm guessing this is not the thread

>>714622662 (OP)
seeing japanese girls use tranny pronouns was a turn off

>>714627030
It's all the same culture; JP and Korea fandoms are just as unhinged. The only difference is that they don't have troons or women who make it some mission to infiltrate the fandom and shit it up. That's why the gatekeeping is so militant in the West but it works. You wouldn't encounter that culture if you stayed out of it, you know.

>>714627197
Oh yeah I remember all the JP fans spamming steam forums with unfunny memes.
Retard. You will never be them.

>>714627303
JP doesn't use steam forums but if you went to places like 2ch or just Twitter they are even more unhinged than Westerners most of the time with their postings. That's just how otaku are.

>>714622662 (OP)
???
Nigga, it's a gacha, what did you spected? it will have some players in a certain time of the day when people enter to do the dailies and then log off to play some other game. Stop treating it like a AAA game that you have to be playing all the day and have millions of concurrent players. You stupid fucks make angry, you treat any game like the second coming of jesus and if doesn't meet your expectations, start doing these shit bait threads

>>714627719

>>714627592
Well it certainly killed the otaku/art scene for FGO for the most part. FGO also gets so much less merch than it did before 2021.

>>714627719
sure, but uma is a fresh new game, most people had never heard of it till now since it was JP exclusive, while blue archive has been available in english for over 4 years now

Actually the pretty conservative nature of the game and the fixation students have on Sensei probably fuels so much more of the art/porn/doujinshi then if it was actually full on coomer in the same way something like NIKKE/BD2/GFL2 etc. tends to go.

It's also not very popular in China because it's heavily censored like most other foreign gacha ports.

>>714628335
It is popular in China but they play the global uncensored server

>>714622662 (OP)
Well it kind of sucks when compared to Umamusume.

Blue Archive is now permanently banned from 4chan.

>>714628057
Umamusume numbers don't look that very good either when compared to the amount of social media and streamer shilling it's getting especially as a new global release.

>>714624819
a few of my friends started uma and some of them are already considering dropping it, because of how long the career takes. I feel like it has several mechanics that seem to incredibly frustrating to deal with though (I've been told it has a LOT of RNG)
I wish that game the best though, genuinely. Even though I don't play it and I'm not a big fan of its designs, the memes I see of it are SOVL

Blue Archive's "fanbase" is almost entirely secondaries who have never and will never play the game, yet buy act like they love the game and characters, will consume all the outside content (like fanart, memes, etc.), but tons of related merch , etc. This is a very strange phenomenon and nobody knows the reason for this.

>>714627838
Porn is "banned" in Korea too. These porn bans are incredibly ineffectual

>>714627838
rent free

>>714632901
The gameplay filters a lot of people.

>>714632901
That clearly isn't true since you need to actually play the game to understand the popular memes and new memes spawn out of new story elements. I'm sure there are people who just ignore the game and read the translated stories on youtube, though, and then go buy merch or something. The story is 90% of the actual content.

>>714632901
They are paid gaslit shills and is not rare at all

The girls are very fuckable, but the game is whatever

>>714633378
what gameplay? you just watch chibis run around and shoot stuff while occasionally using their supers.

>>714633635
You're right, people are getting paid to spam UOH CUNNY memes and Kisaki ball. Half the characters that become art trends aren't even playable, not much shilling to be done there.

The same culture exists in every gacha game that panders with lolis.

>>714633132
It actually had the opposite effect on SK back when they banned it. It basically permanently damaged the relationship of men and women in public at large. And at the same time all their media just became even more indulgent to compensate.

You can't ban porn before banning feminism/women's rights or you just get men checking out even further from society. No one wants to date the modern women of SK and the ones that do are all Chads that just pump-and-dump through a dozen girls a month which makes women loathe men even more since she will project those experiences on all men.

Im a secondary of shitty things like gacha yes. But good things like Touhou, Falcom games, visual novels I am a staunch primary for.
Spend your attention where it matters. Bluechew archive is obviously no masterpiece and nobody argues it is but games like Touhou 11 Xanadu next and Hanachirasu are obviously masterpieces worth your time

so, when's the live stream for the new JP fest units?

>>714633635
>They are paid gaslit shills and is not rare at all
Weren't a bunch of "fan"artists exposed a while back for released "fanart" of characters who hadn't even been officially revealed yet, leading people to the conclusion that the reason Blue archive has so much fucking fanart (nearly 300k illustrations on Danbooru ALONE) is because Nexon has secretly been paying artists to make "fan"art to promote the game all these years?

>>714635016
19th

The "game" has REALLY boring gameplay and story.
Is hard carried by the desings and paid shills you can and should only stick to the webms and doujins

>>714635028
yes. that was back when the game first came out.

>>714635028
There was one instance with Bunny Toki where an artist who had previously worked with Nexon released a fan art a day before her reveal. That art went viral and caused a few more artists to draw her but you can tell these later ones didn't have any knowledge because they got details wrong like giving her nail polish

>>714635154
okay.

>>714635154
>by the designs
Every single gacha game has good to amazing designs because that's what attracts people to play. BA's designs aren't particularly special compared to other games. It's the whimsical setting and meme factory potential that makes it so popular. It's the same reason why Touhou got so big.

>>714635590
lol
It was mere luck and timing with two alts.

>>714622662 (OP)
What is being archived and why is the archive blue?

>>714635590
>Every single gacha game has good to amazing designs

It literally released at the absolute worst possible timing right after Genshin and Umamusume had exploded into popularity.

theres a good reason why people would rather draw porn of it than actually playing it...

>>714636448
It's definitely true because I remember when it happened but like I said it was one prior Nexon hired artist(as in drew officially for them before) who released an early fan art and it went viral with other artists quoting it with art of their own. After she was revealed a lot of those artists apologized and deleted it(drawing based on leaks is big no-no culture in JP)

Good for a JRPG but dogshit for a gacha concept. One day these companies will realize that you can't just take an established JRPG/IP and make a gacha out of it unless there's a huge variety of girl to back it up. The designs in Persona are too unified to work well with gacha since gacha is like a buffet of cute girls while Persona is more like filling up your plate with nothing but one kind of food.

I like this creature, so I'll play it for a bit, but I'm not reading anything.

>>714635028
>>714636649
Nexon are shady as fuck and were legally busted for outright scamming players in their flagship MMO. There would be no surprise if they used shills, bribery or whatever unethical/morally grey tactic as a baseline marketing in the Asian fan art spheres. It's honestly quite impressive in feat to be able to artificially manufacture a massive market of secondaries to keep your IP relevant so that the primaries keep spending.

I guess having characters with appealing designs does help though, so I'll give them credit for that.

>>714645024
Even if that were true nobody mentally sane would think the devs are paying for this much art. One of Nexon's ex-artists posts fanart ahead of release ONCE and schizos use it as a cope for years over BA being #1 in comiket four times in a row. And even if it was all paid shilling it still doesn't explain the demand because all BA merch sells out instantly

>>714645024
Ironic considering the character you posted was relegated to NPC hell for 1.5 years after initially showing up for ONE scene and was so incredibly popular with artists based on that appearance that she got two events.

If they wanted to shill or stealth market the game they wouldn't be paying artists to latch onto random NPCs half the time.

>>714647638
>>714646005
>>714645024
The whole paid artists thing is honestly the most insane cope I've ever seen. Anyone who follows even a few Japanese artists would know they're all unstable snowflakes, so if there really was that sort of shenanigans going on at least ONE of them would've squealed after all these years.
It's doubly funny because the people saying it are usually the ones saying BA makes no money. So where is all that bribe money coming from? Artists charge a premium.

So this game is pretty fun but what is going on with the world settings? Is it some kinda dreamland or after life?
