I don't even know what gacha is desu

>>715584343 (OP)
just fuck off already and let the rest of us get ready for the grasshoppers

>>715584343 (OP)
Well why don't you try one?

>>715584343 (OP)
Don't slander me like that nigger.

I tried to play the horse game but it doesn't want to run on Linux. I was been spared the gacha curse.

You don't build any emotional connections with them if you do that.

The horse game is just lesbian Monster Rancher. Play that for the same thing but 20x better.

I still have no idea what a gacha is.

It feels harder and harder to have discussion about non-gacha video games. There's just so many threads on them all the time. I've been here since 2009, where am I supposed to go now? Reddit? I'll kill myself first.

The central mechanic of gacha games is that you roll for a chance to unlock characters like in irl gacha machines from Japan that give you a capsule with something like a tiny figure.

So... those minigames in Shen Mue?
I got some Earthbound gacha keychain figures from the last time I visited Japan.

>>715585864
Same
>>715586007
But what's the gameplay

every time I post my criticism of gacha in threads like these I just get ignored and gachafags reply to each other to spam/shill their "game"

>I can only connect with a fictional character if I spend hundreds of dollars on them so they can help me clear the predatory borderline autoclicker gameplay faster

Gachafags don't care about gameplay, they want a dopamine rush from spending money.

>>715584343 (OP)
Only like 10% of threads up are gacha
You just suck dick

>>715586106
have you ever gone to a casino and tried to talk the addicts there off gambling? its the exact same thing

>>715584343 (OP)
>>715584435
NOT! Absolutely nobody I know plays gacha. It's just a 4chan astroturf thing. The playerbase is overwhelmingly the Chinese. Did consoles ever even become legal there?

>>715586323
it feels more like the addicts showed up in places that I like to hang out and convinced my friends to start gambling rather than me going to the casinos

>>715586102
>gameplay

>>715586007
Kindereggs?

>>715586102
The gameplay is literally nothing. It all boils down to barebones basic shit like match threes. The catch is that it starts off "fair" and then gradually bloats the numbers to agitate you so that you'll whip out your wallet for 2% chance rainbow/SSR/whatever the fuck characters/items/etc. that can blow through everything. And it'll always have power creep to keep you running on the treadmill instead of sitting on those characters as well. Oh, and pity systems too that had to be SIGNED INTO LAW because one particular gacha got caught lying about percentages.

Play Xenoblade 2.
Now imagine if you had to pay money every time you wanted to open up a cube.
