Why did Blue Archive flop so hard? It was supposed to be this revolutionary, super successful game with a massive fandom bigger than giants like Touhou but barely anyone plays, makes you think...

who told you that?

>>715674827
Uma is at 94 and BA is at 92 on steam right now, no idea why steamdb numbers are different

>>715674260 (OP)
Because a game with an average session time of around 10 minutes to clear dailies and move on is going to have a lower time for concurrent players to be on.
Concurrent will never be an accurate measure of popularity or worth of a game.
Also some incredible gatekeeping by the community

apparently this >>715663852

>>715675125
so you're saying people only play it for 10 minutes and that means the game is very good

>>715675330
Anon, did Blue Archive mindbreak you?

Mostly because Umamusume is actually having a lot of good word of mouth and a ton of high profile streamers covering.
Meanwhile the BA community can't fucking shut up on how they're proud of being pedophiles so not only is the game being chibishit turning off many other players, its entire fanbase also makes people not want to associate with it. And now Steam is doing scorched earth operations on every single game about minors and anime children. You niggers could have just behaved like normal people and shut up you can't even have the basic decency to do that with your pedo game.

>>715676161
>Umamusume is actually having a lot of good word of mouth
not anymore lol

>>715674260 (OP)
Great game with great waifus, but...
1) The game's been out for YEARS. Most people who wanted to play by now, did.
2) Levelling is so fucking time gated it's stupid. Most Gachas, before during and after BA's time, didn't arbitrarily limit your progression based on energy spent and capping possible energy per day. If I pull a brand new meta unit, I want to fucking make it max lv90 and deck that shit out immediately with all my stored materials like every other gacha I've played for the last 10 years. But no, I can only lvl to whatever Sensei level I am, so I can't take part in the higher end stuff without taking MONTHS to even get close to there.
3) Somehow their naming convention is worse than Chinese ones, they're all so generic besides a few (not to mention absolutely lazy translations like Aris/Alice, even fucking Ragnarok Online got that shit sorted) it's hard to figure out who the fuck the unit is by name alone until you memorize the whole goddamn school district's student population.
4) There's just...too many units and too much(!) content so there's no easy tier lists. A unit that might be SS in one place is D tier in another. "Just pull ur waifu LOL" doesn't keep people playing when the gameplay is ass and overcomplicated(which is ironic since there's almost no gameplay beyond skill usage)
5) This one's a personal gripe: Fuck VNs. VNs aren't video games, they're interactive stories at best. Thus, most of the story? Skip. Relationship stories for non-waifus? Skip. This recent Red Box event has had a lot more direct control and ingame interaction than I've seen before and I actually found myself paying attention to the story for once because of it.

>>715674260 (OP)
Sex doesn't sell.

>>715675330
That goes for ANY game, not just these. My math might be forgetting something because it's 3am and i'm about to fall asleep but:
You have two games, both with 2400 players in a day. We'll assume they have an even distribution throughout the day.

One game takes 15 minutes to do the daily activity. The amount of concurrent players is low because they spread out over that times.
If all players were evenly spread across the day then it would have a concurrent count of 25

The other game takes an hour to do daily activities so the concurrent players will be higher.
If all players were evenly spread across the day then it would have a concurrent count of 100

If either game had all players on at the same time then it would instantly overtake the other.

>>715675980
I'm not saying anything about the game itself, just that he's a fool for using concurrent numbers at all.

>>715676527
No sex does sell but sex AND children puts off literally every single normal individual outside of rich pedos which is why this game has tiny playerbase. No different from shadow pedo rings that are mostly composed of government officials.

nah, its the loli game, therfore superior

>>715676797

So this is just what Toho-like is supposed to be

>>715676161
"chibishit turning people off" is a fair point I guess but why should I care if the community is full of lolicons? it's a single player gacha game, I don't have to interact with anyone

>>715676161
It's intentional gatekeeping to stop the worst kind of people worming their way into any fan spaces. It's proving very effective.

>>715677591
The game is dying but apparently it gets billions too. I don't get these people.

A bait thread like this would get you lots of (you)s on /a/, but here on /v/, you just look like a sperg for believing only 2 games exist, one of which you want banned. Has it worked yet? You've been at it for like a week, I understand. Doesn't seem like a very engaging game.

>>715677235
The same sensor tower threads we get every month about gacha revenue? Games like Genshin get the most profits because it's the most palatable to the widest audience possible. You don't become rich in any industry by catering to a tiny audience of outcasts and weirdos.

>>715677265
I mean yeah. Touhou secondaries who only came for the music, fanart, memes and porn vastly outnumber the people who played a a touhou game, much less mainline titles made by zun himself.

Horse girls are streamer bait. Once the hype dies down the numbers will decrease. Blue Archive is cunny bait so it was always going to be the lesser.

I am truly sick of all the chinks/gook games that are purely t&a with a shitty game tacked on. Uma has been a breath of fresh air in that I actually get invested in what I'm doing and all the girls don't want to fuck me for no reason. Uma, and most Japanese games in general, just have class that chinks and gooks will never grasp.

>>715675980
That’s the maximum you should need to spend on a gacha game. If you look me dead in the eye and tell me that gacha games should take multiple hours a week of your precious time I would euthanize you on the spot.

>Uma's around the end of the time period that most FOTMs last for

endless garbage

>>715674260 (OP)
really isn't that hard to see why. Uma is actually fun to play and fun to watch and has a ton of positive word of mouth with really well known streamers playing it.

Blue Archive's situation is the exact opposite, it's everything people despise about modern gaming and modern culture warring combined:
-neither fun to play nor fun to watch, consequently even its own fans won't touch it
-godawful word of mouth: streamers are openly shittalking it, NL said he would not touch it, AsmongoId is openly calling for it to be banned from steam as of yesterday, list goes on
-popular video was made deriding nexon for trying to solicit reviews which also made it more hated
-even if the game was actually fun, most people wouldn't be caught dead associating with something seen as gross pedophile gooner bait with a fanbase full of right-wingers

I mean seriously, when you think about it even a little, shit's basically 1000000000000000% unmarketable to anyone in the west.

There is a lot of hysteria over young anime girls now because its a main political topic and a popular insult you can hurl at someone now. 10 years ago nobody gave a fuck.

>>715686401
Thing is, NO ONE knew about him before Uma. I'm pretty sure he'll move on with the next popular thing.

>>715679758
>chibi gookshit

I'm surprised he even tried it in first place. From all the time I spent watching him playing Isaac while talking about hockey and The Room, he seemed to be pretty anti-anime.

>>715687216
It's not trending on X, that's just you not understanding the difference between your own personalized trends versus what's actually trending. X sets it to only show personalized trends by default.

>>715674260 (OP)
When a gacha game comes to steam, it's because the money train on mobile is mostly dried up, and they want to renew the revenue stream for awhile before EOS.
BA was plenty successful as a new game. Everyone played or at least tried it already, except for this last batch of reserve wallets that doesn't play phoneshit.

>>715687245
What is piss and shit to a normalfag is a treasure to me.

>>715674260 (OP)
I genuinely tried to like BA but I just can't
It's so fucking boring and it feels like a low effort, low budget cashgrab. I really don't know what people see in it.
Might give Uma a try now, maybe it's actually decent

BA is the one gacha I have sunken cost fallacy. I've been playing for a long time since dailies and events are very quick. There's not much daily investment and yet I invest every day into playing it.
I've quit and uninstalled every other gacha. I keep FEH around just to laugh at the absurd powercreep but I haven't done anything in the game.

>>715687445
well you better do now and get Kitasan before it's too late

>>715674260 (OP)
sex appeal =/= mass appeal

>>715687445
You'll like Uma a lot more guaranteed. High production values + actually fun to play, it's basically the antithesis of BA.

>>715687359
Not this is peak uma shill cope. BA will continue to be cultural relevant for the next 10 years while your horse shit will be forgotten tomorrow.

>>715676161
Not even a BA fan myself but even I understand that’s intentional gatekeeping, whether they realize it or not. Assimilate or fuck off. Not that I have a problem with cunnyseurs, BA just generally isn’t for me, but you don’t see me gloating because more people buy X product than Y product.

You see that Azur Lane number? That's where blue archive is headed in a few years.
Not a single IP that got big in comiket lasted, the only sole exception to this day is touhou.

>>715674260 (OP)
A lot of the loud BA shills don't play the game and just spam the uohhh meme because it's the le based lolicon game (while posting Mutsuki, a high school student). I personally know some of them. They promote the game like there's no tomorrow but don't even know the name of the characters.

>>715679758
I’ve genuinely never met a single white Limbus fan. Literally gacha for brown people

>>715688175
>A lot of the loud BA shills don't play the game
Honestly this part is the most mind-boggling thing to me. They (presumably) aren't even getting paid

>>715688120
to be fair BA in its 4 year lifetime has already far surpassed what AL and FGO got in their 3-4 year peak and it's still going strong

>>715688175
I actually used to like the fanbase for it a good bit some 2 years ago, but holy fuck the fanbase has become utterly insufferable and incapable of taking criticism for a while now. Used to be into the game but gave up on it a while ago.

>>715687925
That stereotype didn't necessarily become less true, it just became more widespread with Genshin. The game has had and STILL has a lot of controversies, same goes for Star Rail. I don't think seething over a characters racial skin and hatred towards hetero-ships exactly paint a picture of 'well-adjusted' behavior. Which is why they are considered one of the most toxic gacha communities.

>>715688612
You simply liked it because you were a fan of the game.
Once you stopped, the spell wore off. Truth is that it was always bad, you just self-blinded yourself until you snapped out of it.

I mean come on anon. Also AL was babby's first gacha back in 2018. It was extremely relevant if you were a gachafag back then.

>>715688713
No, the cracks were there but some 2 to 2 and a half years ago the fanbase and BA itself, least the general setting and story I don't think many would argue the gameplay's winning any awards, were in a much better place than it is now. It was never some great thing but wasn't awful. The fact they only planned for 2 years of life really fucking shows with everything that's come out after that period.
>>715688838
