Thread 718590698

why is it always like this?

Because appealing character designs is the only way they can sell the gacha model. If there wasn't something pleasing to look at the entire house of cards would fall apart

Can't they just make ONE real game with gacha sluts? The characters don't look difficult to make, maybe I'm wrong.

Except gacha designs are neither appealing nor interesting to non-chinks/gooks.

99% of the time, it is a sameface animu girl.

>Interesting/appealing character designs
It's all the most samey anime shit. I don't even hate anime, but it all looks the exact same to me.

It's hilarious how these people don't understand why good games typically don't have characters running around in swimsuits or lingerie. They have no concept of how reality works.

>>718590698 (OP)
Because you bought western slop and shit in the mid 2000's and choke holded the japanese game industry from successful growth with their attractive characters and game design, and now have to deal with less than favorable marketing strategies because they need to make money.

Blame yourself, retard.

This. Look at how Konami pivoted towards literal gambling machines (pachinko is gambling, fuck off jap loopholers) and used their IP to make their machines vastly more appealing
without the dopamine of pulling a hot ass barely-clothed bitch, gacha games have no carrot on the stick. no one would play genshit if it was all ugly troons and browns

>>718591015
You can have a good game with the characters running around in swimsuits and lingerie. The key part is the gameplay has to be good. Gacha don't have good gameplay, so they are forced to use tantalizing characters to even hold peoples attention

>>718590698 (OP)
because thats their only selling point you think anyone plays a gacha for story or gameplay? lmfao

>>718591067
>tranime girl attached to a new shitty western game
>ugly bulldyke attached to a shitty new eastern game
neither

>>718591015
And before you ask, yes I'm trans. I don't want to see CIS CUNTS running g around in swimsuits because it makes my dysphoria worse! If you have a problem with that then LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

>>718590698 (OP)
You never know true heartbreak until a sequel of your favorite game turns out to be a gacha that will hold the series hostage forever because the devs do not want to take any risks anymore and will milk the gacha forever. Even more heartbreaking when the director of the company said they all had those ideas for future games but they never talked about it anymore after they tasted the gacha money.

>>718591067
>i have to blame myself because i bought good games
well fuck me

>>718592040
So what happened to Fate basically?

I hardly ever see an actually appealing character design even from gacha now, it's all the same bog standard shit you always see in erotic art, nothing more. I miss the times when anime girls had an edge to them.

>>718591814
The fact that trans people are pro gacha character design speaks volumes for why it's not in most games.

>>718591015
You act like they're mutually exclusive concepts

>>718592128
I was thinking of Project Moon but i guess this happens with other games aswell.

>>718590835
why they should if they could make gacha for the same cost and make x50 more

>>718592354
At some point every anime franchise under the sun tried to jump onto the gacha hype, those who died quickly were more fortunate.

>>718591067
>Noooo, you can't just buy a game you want to play if it wasn't made in this one and only country

>>718592354
Early on, Fate devs had very solid videogame concepts like RPGs and hero shooters before ultimately just deciding to milk the gacha model ad infinitum, that and releasing a new Melty Blood revision once every 10 years

>>718592313
NO WE ARE NOT! REFER TO MY ORIGINAL POST!!!
>>718591015

>>718592856
You clearly are. You were criticizing my post while saying you're trans.

>>718592703
With Project Moon they had plans for a game based on a comic of the series, and a city builder, but the director of the company is autistic and does not want to have more than 50 people in his company, and since the gacha takes work from all of them they are all too busy to do anything else. Apparently he thinks the company as his family and having too much people would make him see them as a numbers and not as people lol.

>>718590698 (OP)
Because gacha inherently lack in the game department? The only thing they can use to draw people in is character design. Which is also how they get people to spend money for pngs.
Consequentially they are bad as games.

You might have brain damage.

>>718591015
You don't make any sense.

>>718590835
Genshin impact and star rail are both real games. Genshin impact is the best action adventure rpg that has ever been released

>>718594086
1/10 times it could be a shitty jrpg as well

>>718590835
I will try

>>718594197
>Genshin impact and star rail are both real games. Genshin impact is the best action adventure rpg that has ever been released

>>718594197
Genshin Impact was alright for the first few hours, but it just got really repetitive. Then I realized the whole game was just about buying anime skins I just lost interest

>>718591067
well
uhh
damn

>Now Chuds are trying to silence and take credit for trans voices

>>718591067
this guy's art sucks balls

>>718590835
Stellar Blade? Note that I haven't played it yet since I'm non-buynary, mind you.

>>718594197
Genshin's hasn't been good since Enkanomiya. The last 3 years have been a pitiful slide.

>>718590698 (OP)
The Japanese stopped making full games, the rest were leftovers from long running series.

>>718591015
Not true at all. We used to have sexy costumes all the time in real games.

>>718595656
I got two version of Trials of Mana that I love so I win in the end.

>>718595763
I only play gritty games so any sort of this shit would be jarring. You can keep that shit to your Fortnite slop and Korean MMO slop.

>>718595656
The problem is they are getting lied to by blue haired faggots and jews about what the west wants in their games.

>>718594197
for a microsecond I tought this post was serious

>>718590698 (OP)
none of the g*cha games have appealing/interesting character designs.
if i want big tiddy ara ara ladies there's always rule34, and then I go back to playing good games (like Noita)

>>718590698 (OP)

don't worry I was 16 once too. You'll grow out of it.

Is not that Otaku like gacha, is that Asians are more prone to gambling, with the advancement of the iPhone and anime sluts crushing in the 00s was just a recipe for disaster in the making.

Then the 2010 with FGO and alikes and destroyed traditional otaku culture, only now is slowly recovering.

Barebones ps2 hack n slash combat kills my interest. Gow2 is the basic fucking standard. The fact soul shit has been the industry standard for TEN years makes me violently sick and pissed

>>718595597
Enka was a high point. Fontaine was really bad. I think they're returning to form now/pulling senior devs back

>>718594593
I would argue you owe it to yourself to play it more. You're saying it was repetitive without having unlocked any of the mechanics...team building and getting characters is part of it though, can't deny that

>>718591015
I just want Arknights designs and art direction in an actual game
It goes for something like a fantasy sci-fi military thing so the characters aren't skimpy over all, though there's summer skins if you want to nitpick

Limbus Company being an extension of an insanely cool setting that you get to fully explore and its stuck in a gacha.

>>718597404
The setting is really derivative and boring, only appeals to younger people. It was pretty much one of the worst cash grabs in history.

>>718590698 (OP)
I don't think I've ever seen interesting or appealing gacha characters. They all look like boring sameface anime women.
