Genshin Impact…
Honkai Star-rail…
Zenless Zone Zero…
And now this stupid horse girl game, which even has an anime adaptation.

These types of games are not only creatively bankrupt, they also have the most annoying and braindead fans to ever exist. How the fuck is the industry supposed to cure itself from games that are kept popular by fads and fiscally irresponsible players?

Because zoomers keep playing them because their brains turn off when they see sexy anime girls. The gacha will continue until it stops making money.

A game isn't a fad if it continues to stay relevant with many updates (which hoyo games do similarly to what Epic does to Fortnite to keep people coming back). Fads would be games that had a spark that dropped off after a month or two. Remember H1Z1? That was a fad. The horse game is already 4 years old in its own country and had the owners of the horses decided not to outlaw comiket r18 depictions of their horses we probably would've seen them trending sooner in the West (or maybe not since a large reason they're trending is because Western streamers find the game safe to stream compared to the likes of Nikke or Brown Dust 2 which get covered by SEA monkeys instead).

right, I should also mention fad games in general, especially furfag ones. all the closet furfags can’t shut up about pseudo whatever, the other one with the character bust-waist-thigh sliders, and the piñata dead by daylight copycat.

Gacha games are vital to the video game industry because they are a means for companies to obtain additional income for other, bigger projects. The girls being hot are just a very good bonus.

you’re the one who doesn’t know what they’re talking about, idiot. there’s a reason why all these gacha shit exclusively pump out female characters that have more broken stats than the previous characters. I never played any of these, but even I know this shit, and you’re the literal problem who keeps letting this happen.

You have no clue how what you are talking about and even proudly admit it. Unlike you, I actually play some of these games. genshin impact, honkai star rail, and girls frontline. I've played some honkai impact as well. Those games are anything but "creatively bankrupt".
>I don't know anything about them but even I know this or that
You're just jumping onto the current hate train trend because you think it will make you fit in instead of making you look like an ignorant retard.

Genshit is creatively bankrupt thoughbeit
>Designs all still have one or more of these 3: detached sleeves, braids, butt flaps. Even a character whose design was first shown without detached sleeves got changed into having them
>Models are still the same 5 since launch
>Animations are still reused
>Exploration hasnt had qol updates since launch
HSR also has the laziest design by far since characters remain static while talking for like 10 minutes.
Hoyo is essentially the game freak of gacha, lazy slop and reheated nachos from generations ago.
Youre right with GFL2 tho

Because it gets harder and harder to work within those limitations. That's completely natural and expected. You may as well complain about gravity being unfair for keeping you planted to the ground.

Not necessarily seethe when you're just properly analyzing the really bad game mechanics attached to gacha games. The whole 'power locked behind multiple copies' thing is just atrocious. For a lot of those games if you play f2p you would have to play for a year to get max copies of a unit, and that's only if you skip every single other available unit and also dependant on the rerun schedule. That's just so much arbitrary time investment. In Genshin you clear story/events/side quests/overworld content with way less time investment each patch. So, why does one character take so long to reach it's max potential without paying? Why do f2p essentially get punished? I mean even if you go dolphin mode you still have to avoid pulling a lot of characters if you're trying to c6 something. That's just bad game design even if the game is free. Free part is cool, the mechanics behind obtaining characters, resources and gear are usually just really bad. The whole driving force tends to be the attraction of the casino element and sometimes you'll have a good story, or maybe only good music. There's usually only a couple of genuinely good things done in a gacha game and it's almost always something unrelated to the gameplay.

I say this having had most of my gacha enjoyment come from Arknights and GFL1. Although, in GFL's case that game is way too fair, no other gacha would ever follow their model. And the gameplay of those two isn't winning any awards even if I enjoyed it. They're mostly attractive from their puzzle-like end game gameplay, decent/autistic story and music.

My issue with them is how their awful design directions spread to other genres because of how good they are financially. It's ruined a lot of my old favorites. I mean, just look at Winning Eleven and eFootball, it's crazy how bad this industry's become.

The one I played is such garbo, that I can't trust any others by association, even if a fan says it has good gameplay, I'm sure there's a catch. I almost tried playing genshin for the exploration-only, but damn the writing sucks. even if the gameplay is good, that's godawful writing.

When gacha dies, it'll be because it gets replaced by something worse. Then /v/ can complain about that nonstop instead.
