Gatcha "gamers" be like:
>Yoo, this gameplay is fire!!!

I've never seen a gacha game, is it really addictive even if you don't like anime girls?

>>715032393 (OP)
Why is this legal

>>715032393 (OP)
I will never stop hating old people. I swear most of them are lead poisoned retards. When I retire, I’m just gonna spend my time in the gym all day and fucking pray the microplastics in my body dont turn me retarded
>>715032502
IF you have an addictive personality, yes it’s addictive. The softcore porn helps influence this more. EVERYTHING in a gacha game is specifically made by think tanks to take advantage of the human psyche and drain addicts of their cash

I was friends with a dude who worked at Gameworks and he let me see the weekly earnings sheet and Big Bass Wheel completely eclipsed everything it was double the earnings of the next game down which I can't recall but it was redemption shit also.

>>715032705
Why don't people just look up porn on the internet instead of paying money for SFW porn in a video game?

>>715032678
Because we have extremely high individual freedom here. Yes, this includes the freedom to take fent and shit on the street. Then, we have retards who believe its an attack on individual freedom to shove those guys into an asylum (we don’t even have asylums anymore because this country is ran by retards)

>>715032925
why dont obese people just eat less

>>715032925
Porn doesn’t have addictive gambling mechanics and gameplay. Nor does it have a strong community that it encourages such shitty behavior. Gacha has ALL of it

>>715032502
People spends thousands of dollars per month to get the new promoted girl in their favorite gacha, it is 100% an addiction if let out of control. Personally, I'm not interested in any of them, all those gacha with mediocre gameplay and scantily clad girls blend with each other.

I am so fucking glad I never became a gambler despite my addictive personality. I went to a casino once for my brother's birthday, but I just don't see the appeal in throwing away money for shits and giggles. Maybe I'm just wired differently. I fucking hate wasting money like that.

at least gambling you might win money
even if you win in gacha you just get pngs

>>715033223
>People spends thousands of dollars per month to get the new promoted girl in their favorite gacha
Can you tell me how this works because I have no clue.
I'm familiar with lootboxes, combining digital cards to level them up, and low percent odds.

>>715033501
Gachas typically roll out a new "event" every month with a new character who's usually stronger than its predecessors. Difficulty in the content is bumped accordingly, sometimes specifically to require the gimmick of new character.

>>715032393 (OP)
just add crack

>>715032393 (OP)

Yes.

They are designed by teams of talented psychologists specifically to be as addictive as possible

>>715032393 (OP)
Nice try chud, Orange man said gacha isn't gambling by law.

>>715032502
if you can avoid pulling out the credit card they are frequently the most f2p friendly "free" games out there.

the issue is there is no upper limit on spending so things get out of hand quite quickly.

the benefit is you can get mega games for free if you have some self control.

>>715034976
Which gacha does he play I wonder...

>>715032705
If that’s the case then why aren’t there any that have middle aged and old women for me?

>>715035257
Average nikke player.

>>715035192
>b-but it's f2p!
At the end of the day you are still "playing" something that was designed first and foremost to milk money out of idiots with no self control. It's not trying to be fun, it's not trying to be a decent game. It's trying to make you spend money, or to make you so frustrated that you'll want to spend money. If you want free games and want to have fun, there are more available to emulate right now than you could beat in a lifetime, why subject yourself to something that is tailor made to appeal to lowest common denominator retards who are wowed by flashing lights and bright colors like the zombies in >>715032393 (OP) ?

>>715035881
gotcha games are unironically less predatory than the mobile bejeweled titles.

the vast majority of the time the actual game is fully accessible without any real downsides, energy systems if present just prevent excessive grinding and the games are usually easy enough that the actual fun parts of the game can be done with barely any upgrades to characters, they make their money by trying to get you to give a shit about particular characters so you will spend not only the free currency but additionally bought currency and it works despite how unobstructive it is.

usually the only time where having the premium shit helps is for endgame "content" that consists of just fighting stronger versions of things you already did on repeat so you can get some extra free currency.

while it gets endless hate i find it to be a breath of fresh air in the space compared to the garbage we had before that *actually* limited your gameplay unless you spent money, as it stands now i find it less predatory than paid EA/Ubisoft games that you likely would have had to spend $70 or more before getting hooked up to the milker.

>>715032502
You'll notice that gacha players never show the actual gameplay.

>>715036529
star rail is 4 niggas in a row gameplay

Genshin Impact is Breath of the Wild's autistic sister

not sure what Zenless Zone Zero is compatible to but it was alright when i played it.

>>715032393 (OP)
>gatcha
You should at least learn the name of the genre you're talking about.

westerners seethe at gacha because they worship obese women and black penises. gacha does not have obese women and does not promote blacked values which is why blueskies trannies seeeeeeeeeeeeeethe. that's literally the only reason why. they don't have a problem with gacha mechanics per se, or they would demonize Steam's TF2 Crates. They would demonize EA's "surprise mechanics" in FIFA. They would demonize Blizzard's battle chests, and RNG raid drops that have successfully kept WoWfags mazed for 20 years.

>>715036861
Plenty of westerners have issues with everything you listed, you asshat.

>>715036417
Those match 3 games tend to shove ads in your face in the middle of the game too. At least steam doesn't allow this shit

Gacha isn't a genre and doesn't have a general defined gameplay. It is a monetization model. Why are people so retarded?

>>715037104
because the haters never looked at the games at all?

Nice, notice that isn't any of the spammed threads here.

>>715037607
i don't think there is much of an active effort to convince haters since they rarely listen anyway.

everyone else already is familiar with the gameplay of the various games and settled into the ones they liked.

>>715037473
>100 days of genshin
i'm so sorry

>>715037745
So settled that they never discuss the game itself?

>>715038110
they do, when the new endgame mode people were talking strategies and posting clears, and when the new teaser came out yesterday people were posting about story shit and theory crafting.

>>715033239
>>gets something nice for their children and grandchildren
lmao

>>715034298
Gachafags, this is your mindset.

>>715036417
I wonder if people who write shit like this are being silly on purpose or if they really do play only shit pushed by the media. Otherwise, why would you present AAA shit as the only alternative to gacha? This is bizarre. The entire history of gaming at your fingertips you go around picking up trash and saying that actual shit is even worse. I can not understand it.

>>715038412
i was just giving paid game examples that feel more predatory to me.

i just play gotcha games as filler between releases of games i actually care about, i played Monster Hunter Wilds but already did everything and just check back in for the title updates, other than that i been trying the occasional thing on gamepass, Trials of Mana is alright but very much a 3D adaptation of a snes game and you can really tell.

i also play Pinball games.

>>715032393 (OP)
At least at the casino I have like a 20% chance of leaving with more money than I came with.
In gatcha I'm just gambling for anime tiddy jpegs.....

Gacha players are all from SEA and that's what they post.
I'm just trying to be inclusive of their interests.

are these interracial posting seamonkeys in the room with us right now

>>715039568
Yeah one has been responding to me.

>>715039568

>>715032393 (OP)
Imagine being jealous of a FREE games, that gives content every week, games that have vast expanding worlds full of things to explore, and your AAA multibillion$ game is shit and have no contentXD
Imagine being jealous of people who don't give a fuck about money and can affort spending their cash on things that make them happy.
Also if you really think that Genshin got popular because it has Gacha mechanic - then you are a buzzthrowing retard. Genshin got popular because it had great gameplay and world.
Also i play Gensgin from 1.0 and spent only 5$ to get Serpent Spine, Still i got every 5Star i wanted, two Ganyu's and Amos Bow so fuck you.

>>715039824
the battle pass is $10 that includes the 4 star weapon choice but if you only did it once you probably forgot.

welkin is the $5 thing, that gives you 300 genesis and 2700 primogems if you log in every day for the duration.

I did my time in gacha hell, and I am playing Persona Fantom 5 Series X right now.

It's ignorable until you get something that pushes all your buttons. Whether that's a fucked up fetish outfit or a perfect match for one of your teams. It's easy to spend here.

But once you've had a couple games EoS, you just see them for what they are. Free rental games with the opportunity to tip**. If the main game isn't quality and resembling a real game just don't play it.

I think it's kind of understated how detrimental it is to have the boomer generation be so venomous and hateful, they are passing no knowledge down and propaganda is just gonna fill in the cracks.

>>715032393 (OP)
Lmfao this is completely satanic, i feel damaged just seeing this. Indian tech support scammers are more moral than the people who make and own these machines
What I'll say about gacha players is at least most of them aren't paying, and just want to see some cute anime girls... it's better than the people who play MMOs and spend all day clicking on monsters to make numbers go up. In fact those are the exact kind of people who will graduate in old age to become the people in this clip

Well at least they aren’t Vtuber paypigs. That shit is pathetic.

i'm addicted to like three drugs and i wouldn't even buy a lottery ticket. gambling is for the lowest tier retards who aren't even smart enough to get something back for all the money they're throwing away. it's for poverty-tier minorities and old people that want something to waste their free government money on.

Image spending your whole life waging just to play bullshit games you dont have the ability to understand. They dont even know themselves, they just saw this is what old people are supposed to do on tv 40 years ago.

Old people don't even know what to spend money on when they have it. Which makes it twice as retarded

Because quite a few areas in the US have industries built heavily around gambling. Just think about what would happen to Las Vegas if every damn casino there was suddenly forced to shut down. Think of the outrage and political clusterfuck that would come with Indian casinos. Can't outright roll into tribal reservations and order them to shut down their casinos because you'd be violating their sovereignty and if you tried to implement some system to keep non-natives from visiting those casinos you'd be met with cries of discrimination and accused of attempting to slowly kill Indian casinos by restricting their business based on race. It's kind of like prohibition where trying to outright make alcohol just ultimately caused more problems than it actually solved.

>>715032678
Because the rich have been scamming the poor since the dawn of time.

>>715042398
Fuck off, gacha retard. First of all
>most of them aren't paying
is complete horseshit. Your shitty nongames are just as bad as casinos. You can try to delude yourself and say "oh, but I don't paypig", but you're still paying, either with money or with your self-respect or both for interacting with a product made by a company that targets and exploits idiots as a business model. In fact, I take that back the people that make gachashit are even more evil and immoral than the ones that run casinos, since they're taking advantage of people being both lonely and fiscally irresponsible.

>IF you have an addictive personality, yes it’s addictive.
I have a highly addictive personality. I have been addicted to cocaine, alcohol, MDMA, cannabis, video games, coffee, nicotine and pornography at various points in my life. Some of those, particularly alcohol and weed, to the point of crippling self-destruction. I have also been both obese with a junk food addiction and anorexic at different points in my life. I am now two and a half year sober of all of those vices save for coffee and video games.

Never once have I become remotely enticed by a shitty gatcha game. I have played them sure. But they did not give me any pleasure, or any fun, so I did not become addicted. All of those vices I mentioned are easy to become addicted to because they provide genuine momentary pleasure and amusement. I cannot imagine what must be wrong with someone to gain enough pleasure from some piece of shit gatcha for it to trigger an addiction response.

>>715045446
Pretty sure to find somebody else on /v/ who has indulged in many of lifes vices.
if you don't mind my asking, what was the trick to getting off everything? I don't really do drugs anymore, but I still get absurdly drunk every weekend and smoke a pack of cigs a day, and the drinking has made me a fatfuck, too.

>>715045616
Rock bottom.
[blogpost]There were countless times where I'd reached what I thought was an all time low, where I vowed to myself I never wanted to feel like this again, but the addiction plays tricks on you. After a few weeks or months you begin to forget what you felt like and you convince yourself it wasn't that bad, or that you can enjoy these things again without getting to that state. What I needed was that one experience that terrified me enough to truly stick in my brain. With alcohol, that was being admitted to hospital 4 times over the space of one year with acute alcohol withdrawal after a month-long binge each time. I had experienced DTs before but never that extreme and never in such quick succession. On my last visit, my doctor advised me that I had developed hepatitis of the liver, and that my next visit would likely be my last and that the damage would be permanent.

With weed it was waking up one morning, not having smoked the night before, and still feeling stoned. I felt anxious, and spaced out, like nothing around me was real, like I was walking through a simulation and the people around me were puppets. It felt like a loss of reality and identity. Felt like a bad time on mushrooms. I was used to feeling this way occasionally after smoking too much, but never while sober. The moment that stuck with me, several days later, was going to visit my mother and not recognizing her. I knew her face, and that she was my mother, from an intellectual standpoint. But I did not have the recognition response in my brain, she did not feel familiar, she was a puppet like everybody else. That feeling lasted for what felt like forever, several years at least. Eight years later and its mostly gone and only occasionally and mildly comes back. Even the slightest bit of weed takes me right back there, I can't touch the stuff anymore.
