Why are Gacha games so popular despite the inherent shittiness?

the gambling mechanics exploit parts of the human brain that tricks thoughtless people into thinking they have gained something valuable when they get some rare roll or fomo skin.
this is a phenomenon known as AIDS.

Western games are way worse

>>725531238
wuwa is basically better genshin mixed with zzz combat

People like live service games that let them play over a long period of time and build up an account.

>>725532264
open world in wuwa sucks
>>725531238
nothing like botw other than a glider which sucks ass
its just the best open world exploration bar none in any game ever
extremely comfy too

>>725522748 (OP)
Easy to pick up and your friends are playing them.

>>725532338
do they not add new shit or something? First area in wuva is many tiers better than genshin

>>725522748 (OP)
Cause troons and retarded foids keep shitting up games in the West and Japan is just lazy.

>>725522748 (OP)
Designs that straight males, the currently least-advertised to demo in the western AAA game sphere, actually want to look at.

>>725532408
no it wasn't lol im still actively playing both wuwa is still tech demo feeling open world compared to genshin

>Anime is more popular than ever
>Japan, in all their infinite wisdom, refuses to capitalise on this
>All jap anime games are low effort shit, especially if it's tied to an existing IP
>In comes China with anime open-world games that receive constant updates, new characters, smooth animations, expensive cinematics, etc.
I'm pretty sure Arcsys is the only jap dev that put effort into games with an anime aesthetic.

>brownigger coping
The red one is way smoother and have a better texture, its literally just brown but better.

>>725533396
naw man you can't with a serious face tell to me that brown is as bad as red. It is as better than botw

>>725522748 (OP)
Lowest common denominator, gambling, it takes zero effort to play.

>Why are Gacha games so popular
They're made by people who actually play games and know what the target audience wants because they're the target audience. People used to call it "sovl", which means they're part of the current cultural zeitgeist in a way that older people aren't. On top of that, the ccp has different methods to keep a ethnically and racially homogenous country under control, unlike western elites who rely on starting racial shit so the plebs fight each other over sex and race instead of revolting over economic issues, so the entertainment produced by the ccp country is free of feminist/racialist retardation, meaning it doesn't remind the audience of the shit they want to escape from.

tl;dr it's made by young people are their country isn't a diversity civil war shithole, so their culture is intact

>gacha isn't video games because . . it just isn't, okay?
Go outside and ask a rando on the street what gacha is and you will see that if you talk to normal, not brainfucked people, they will look at the video game and call it a video game, the same way they will call a tree a tree or a cat a cat.
The beautiful part is that they don't even know terms like interactivity or failure states which make video games different from film, and yet they can tell what they're looking at.

tl;dr if you ask a 80 year old grandma on the street what a video game is, she will know and you don't because you're fucked in the membrane

Anon it's not even brainwashing at this point, it's a full-on personality cult. Dudes will defend JPEGs with 3-frame attack animations like it's peak game design because bunny girl #58 smiled at them during their 0.6% pull.

>>725539669
and you are siding with stubborn ignorance. Laughing at a factual statement doesn't make it untrue.

>>725542012
Thankfully I broke off ever after playing religiously for 3+ years and sunk cost. I was so tired of doing that daily crap like it was unpaid job.

Free-to-start and gambling addiction.

It turns out that you can get a lot of money out of people when you get them addicted to spending money. Listen to a lot of gacha general and you'll see people bitching about the game itself but talking about how they feel compelled to turn it back on, for dailies or to get the next character or for whatever reason.

Stop trying to put mobile games on a pedestal. Can't you like a real game like something Inti Creates put out?

>>725547831
Good is a lie and online is a detrimental trait.

>>725531238
>Kino combat
Every instance of combat I've seen in ZZZ is just mashing attack on braindead enemies with a cooldown thrown in a few times. It's flashy, sure but the actual combat is insanely shallow and bland.
