I can't believe Re:Stage is gone...
>>51156523Stop using that image, that's for the online shop which is still alive (and I'm suspecting is a big reason why the game is dead too)
>>51157186What are the franchise's plans now that the game kicked the bucket?
>>51157561There's a monthly manga running in the websiteA few upcoming live eventsShort voiced stories (currently 1 released and 1 upcoming), character ASMRs (currently 1 released)
>>51157606And what about WDS?
How do we revive dead franchises like Lapis
>>51158912Have they tried a #COMPASS collab?
>>51158912Blockchain.
>>51159164Why do you keep calling it #COMPASS and not Compass other than it being the official title? Other games with stylized titles don't get the same special treatment.

>>51159407Didn't they already announce it was ceasing development?
>>51159407Rest in peace feastables
>>51159407Someone use Festibattle as the next thread's OP pic
>>51159656To be fair, Shironeko Tennis and Golf are still alive somehow despite no new updates
>HBR main story ending soonCould this be it?
I got to say that the new mahjong map doesn't feel like the usual map at all. Too many obstacles and walls and feel too big. At least the cow stage is a few things in the center and 2 walls. New map is all over the place. Also, the IP is my least favorite so far. So all things considered, probably my least favorite collab.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.konami.suikoden.starleapWill it be a hopeful comeback or a pathetic whimper for this dormant IP?
>>51160933EoS before or after Assault Lily and D4DJ?
>>51161383I want to know if a character can be upgraded from lower rarity to SSR or the SSR version counts as a completely different character from their lower rarity version. Still should have been a paid game instead desu.
>>51161412Probably after.
When you get around the bugs, Nekopara Sekai Connect is a pretty nice gameThe lore is a little bit dark sometimes though
>>51165243Is it still close to dying? Last people talked about it, apparently it was doing shit.
>>51165250Havent checked numbers or even if there's any public sources, but so far I guess its doing well, we get constant updates, not many game breaking bugs, though Im still unable to read Chocola's character story because it gets stuck in a loading screen, and people seem to be buying the skins that get released every event, it will never be one of the big names but it may be able to mantain a balance that allowes it to live for some more years, I hope they release a full ero VN with the new characters, their design and personalities are great, and it would be nice to see the continuation of the sex hints that are in their character storiesMy only "complain" is that they announced so many character that will take forever to be released I have 190k gems saved that I've been holding since I got Chocola on the 1st month, we're on Sakurai school so all the banners are sakurai nekos (japanese school) I want to pull for their director but she'll probably be the last one to get released
>>51165276https://game-i.daa.jp/?APP/6743923238Doesn't seem like it's been doing well lately.
https://x.com/i/status/2085637077203321075
>>51165463Better or worse than D4DJ?
>>51165609Slightly better, I think? Not exactly doing great either, though.
>>51165276So according to you the only good thing about the game is whats not in the game and will never be, sex with the new characters. No wonder no one wants to spend money on it, they are waiting for it to die and re-release as an H vn. Stop wasting your time bro.

What would actually happen if D4DJ actually died?
>>51167419Nothing.Nothing ever happens.
I am surprised that Dolphin Wave is somehow still alive.
>>51167579It would be the end of an era, though?
>>51170184>>51167419What will happen to Shirono Yuu? I love her. More than Anzai Yukari
Is anyone playing the Suikoden gacha?
>>51171044No because I missed out on the original series
>>51171089Just play it on an emulator.
#COMPASS anons, tell me your advice. I have a decent chunk of collab URs, at least 1 copy of 52/121. Picrel are my latest haves and misses. I'm not particularly a card hunter or dupe-puller and don't play too competitive. Collab URs will mostly be for free, big battle. I do like having a diverse card pool to play in different styles or bring out the most in the hero I'm playing but don't have a main. I missed the 2 hyped Reze cards. I have Ichihime and don't care for skins this collab. Already have 2 cards from the collab so I might just get dupes. Should I pull that hyped guard break card? Is it even worth it or maybe just a wait for some other OP collab?
>>51166191>the only good thing about the game is whats not in the game and will never be, sex with the new charactersThat's true for all videogames. At least in Nekopara the nekos are actually in love with you. Not like 99% of games that only tease. And read my post again, this time slower.
>>51173205Depends on how much BM you have as chasing for cards is a risky game given the low rates and very high pity. Personally I always aim for just getting the new heroes but I had about 110K at the start of the collab so did a few extra (unsuccessful) rolls for the new cards.I never aim for dupes as the only time I play ranked is for the one daily match to get the seasonal costume.The new shield break is a very good card but if you don't have a massive amount of BM are you willing to potentially miss out on the next collab hero or cards?
>>51171044there’s a thread on vmg
Are there any gacha companies that dont shotgun both their feet randomly?
>>51175266Even Qualiart do random shit like Gakuen ImasThey added animated skill cards for 4 gacha unitsFor some reason the rate up is divided between the same unit with the skill card cosmetic and withoutAnd for the pity exchange, the unit without is 200 pulls as usual, but the one with it is for some reason 300people are already complaining loudlyit is bullshit because for example, I got Sumika swimsuit last year already - I have to roll again for the animated skill card version... and I only rolled the version without the animation again... now at 300 I need to choose to get her dupe for the animated skill card, or the brand new limited Lijya card plus her animated skill cardLike, it just feels awful for no reason
>>51175278It feels like shit because it feels like I repeat the cycle of>Pick game>Really enjoying myself during the honeymoon>Very fun game and lovable characters>Company proceeds to shotgun both feet by doing something utterly retarded like dicking the game, abandoning their original audience, getting extremely greedy or trying to chase the 'wider audience'>Feel like shit because I still enjoy the game but have to deal with the producers retardation>Eventually quit and go back to step 1>Repeat
>>51175266Could be worse. You could be Gust and how they mismanaged Blue Reflection.
>>51175573Most company don't believe in profitability of yuri
>>51175291What you need to do is find one of those dogshit preexisting IP games that have been running for 7+ years, once they get that old their operating cost becomes 1 fucking dollar and the only way they get shut down is by the dev's parent company having a brain aneurysm. I think the bleach gacha has been running for 11 years now.
>>51175278Alright answer me this, why do you NEED the same fucking card but animated.
>>51175913I was rolling for Himesaki's swimsuit card I missed but have you considered fans of an idol would like to have the shiny new thing for their idol? Qualiart obviously think it is a new feature worth advertising and gating behind higher pity ceiling.
>>51175913Ha, got' em!
>>51175933So in short you got fucked by your own greed, gee, I wonder why the devs did that. You deserve every second of that, and deserve to have devs mismanage your favorite games, since you are the retard target audience
>>51175944>>51175936Please play D4DJ Groovy Mix.
>>51175590To be fair, few yuri games are actually profitable, with HBR being a notable exception.
>>51176219So are non yuri games...
>>51176271Maybe pantsu, not yuri, is the true savior of Japanese mobage.
Farewell T7S, you shall be dearly missed.
>>51177786D4DJ EoS next.
>>51177790That would be sad given all the effort and money put into it.
>>51177901especially the careers of some really young and nice ladies like >>51175981 ...
>>51177905She's a cosplayer right? She'll probably find new work easily.
>>51178008Not really, she is a hobby cosplayer, not a professional one.
Man the T7S offline app sure is one of the offline apps of all time. Now we'll have to see what happens when everything is ironed out and support is completely cut.
>>51179416How so?
>>51179436It's literally T7S but offline and all removed game modes revived.
>>51179449>everything is ironed out and support is completely cut.Isn't it offline?
>>51179416>>51179449Isn't that a good thing? Even if there's no support at least you can still play it.
>>51179453The title screen connects to the servers still yet, mostly for paid currency refunds I imagine. There was a bug though and they pushed an update so they're clearly not hands off yet.>>51179469Yes, but it's kind of hilarious how the only thing that changed is that there's going to be no updates but events and gacha banners are still going to rotate and shit. Also still have stamina because lol, not that most people don't have a gazillion refills.
>>51179573I see, so it is not completely offline yet.Hopefully the online check is few enough people can mod it to be completely offline.>bannersWhere does the currency come from then?>eventsThat probably depends on local time right?
What's mobage's opinion on genshittification. Is this a real phenomenon or not?
>>51179651I blame Vtubers
>>51179614It's only the title page for now so it doesn't matter really. Currency is obtained as usual, though it seems they increased the rate which is nice since it was basically a trickle for years. Everything time related is now specific to your time setting, I think a bunch of people have sent their phones to the future and events/banners moved on.>>51179651I like details but I don't really look at hoyo characters with their clothes on too often so I don't really pay attention to the alleged over designing. I did notice in WuWa that even though Chisa and Lynae, who are visually the two ends of the JK spectrum, have quite a bit of details seemingly thrown on them, though I also don't see them with clothes on too often.
>>51179681>Currency is obtained as usualbut usual way is to spend fiat?
>>51179651I don't care about designs as long as I get lolis honestly since they're so fucking rare now that China took over
>>51179651That's based from this macro iirc. It's not just with character designs, it's also with the games themselves becoming more and more genshin-like in an effort to accommodate a bigger, more cancerous community.
>>51179679For me it's cosplayers.
https://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/article/2608/13/2000000526/Link! Live! Love Live! literally killed its developer.
>>51179812It has been running in huge red since year 1pretty sure it is a weird tax scheme by bandai and co
>>51179651I don't pay much attention to characters from other games I don't play but Genshin's design issue is that 90% of the time the women have the same design pattern:>Sleeveless top>Detached sleeves>Some sort of neck ornament>Occasional thigh strap for random asymmetrical legsAnd then it often gets to the point where they can't quite go full on pantsu so the transition between the upper and lower parts of the design is just some abrupt piece of clothing (coochie flap) that sticks out
>>51179954It must be working when Genshin is still doing great.
>>51179651As long as it has pantsu, it doesn't bother me.
>>51180006No one cares how well its doing, by your metric twilight must be the greatest story ever put to paper (and film)
>>51179954The cosplayers and coomers seem okay with it though. Probably a problem.
>>51179695>lolis honestly since they're so fucking rare now that China took overIt's so weird that China has the lowest aoc out of them, Japan, and Korea but the least lolis>>51179651I only hate the trailing capes that need to be on everything. If anything Genshin is being ZZZified. >>51179679Probably something like this.
>>51179694Events and missions.
>>51181208>If anything Genshin is being ZZZified.they're adding furries to genshin?
>>51181250Probably, they've already tested the waters with that girl with cat feet and they've always had chars with fursonae. Fortunately they didn't have the balls to make the melusine char look like the other animal looking ones. Actually, you could say they have non playable furries already.
>>51181208China and Korea have no lolis while DMM is busy making a cuck porn game as their newest flagship titleGaming is doomed
>>51181258>FortunatelyFaggot
>>51181368Being a faggot seems preferable than wanting to fuck dogs, bats and other animals since that's what gave us COVID in the first placeFurshit has no place in gacha
>>51181371Not sure how a monetisation model determines what can be in a game
>>51181230wouldn't that take forever?
>>51181250We have furries npc in the new region, though I dont know if they'd add a playable character like that. So far all that's left to add this late in the story is already announced characters and Gods/Angels which we already know how they look
>>51179722Is this supposed to be pro-honkai fans? Do they really only care about how much they can coom to the game?
>>51181603the comic has had many, many versions but the idea of the comic was to describe how /hig/ went from cooming to the girls, jerking it to the lolis and enjoying the story/characters to unfiltered schizophrenia center after genshin came out since the backflow from Genshin/HSR to HI3 was insane and completely annihilated the previous fanbase like an invasive species destroying the ecosystemThere was mass schizophrenia for years over one of the popular loli characters too and they're probably still chasing at shadows and ancient grudges even today
>>51181626Heard they also removed yuri from Honkai after Genshi
>>51181627kind of but not quiteThey went hard on self-insert pandering with APHO1 and APHO2 since it had a male MC but after that they forgot APHO existed and dialed in on the yuri even harder so both sides ended up pissed and angry in the endAlso they aged up ALL the lolis, some of them even got aged up twice. I think the only one that hasn't been aged up is Coralie? But I haven't checked on p2 story, they might have aged her up too.
>>51181629also to add to this they announced APHO3 was coming soon with a trailer sometime before HSR came out and it's still not out lol
>>51181546Current event is pretty generous, who knows about the future ones.
>>51181626I'm not sure it's Genshin's fault, a number of gatcha threads seem like that. Probably typical antisocials that hate popular things + pointless rivalry. A similar groups likes to ruin discussion in mmorpg threads for who know why. Gatcha schizos seem pretty wild though, even in asia.
>>51181935HI3 and Genshin are directly related plus Genshin had a ton of Honkai discussion and references. It was natural that most people would backflow and want to check out the company's previous game.
>>51181937People checking out an older game doesn't instantly make them schizo I mean
>>51181951the meltdowns that went in that place definitely were though because it was so bad with daily deletions that the schizos of that place kept trying to chase the highs and the shadows of those times for years

>>51181975>:15Dropped. When will they stop putting this kinda shit in? I wish there was some definitive game to catch all those fags and keep them out of other games.
>>51182048I thought it was gonna be something really bad and disgusting like some homo or furry then I laughed audibly
https://x.com/gkmas_official/status/2088191879947174232Gakumas is finally getting the 360live feature and a new swimsuit banner after skipping a year!
>>51182075>360live featureabout time
>>51179651is it really genshinfication? I'd say Nijisanji and Hololive were the ones going hard on that kind of design. But I'd need to check a timeline to make sure
>>51182075Man, these new swimsuits look really lame. The bottom parts look like frilly diapers, and the limited ones barely even count as swimsuits. I really wish they'd just give us a toggle to take off that stupid jacket from the 1st year swimsuit instead.
>>51181975Pantsu?
>>51183933Korean shorts game
>>51183818Or the tshirt from the onsen swimsuit

>>51184160No it didn't?
Going to see /ourgirl/ tomorrow
nice diapers
>>51183635Both Holo and Niji designs used to be pretty minimalist up until 2021, coincidentally during Genshin and Arknights meteoric rise in popularity.
>>51184360Comiket?

>>51188266Otakus save the world more like furries shit the world
>>51188270Otakubros rise up
>>51188270They abandoned that motto like 5 years ago. They serve normalfags now.
Behold, the Yuki Yuna VN that started as a gacha game and upon EOS, was ported to consoles as a story-only VN... split across 8 full-price volumes.
Imagine if modern Genshin had pantsu like in the beta. It could have led to a golden age of mobage pantsu and copycats.
It's safe to say that Idolm@ster has bend the knee to US puritanism. We're not allowes to have swimsuits anymore, look at this diaperAnd it's just going to get worse with the global release (made by the same people that censored Umamusume's global version)
>>51188688Did they announce a global release?
>>51188688The censorship issues with Uma were around the translation and not the designs. Given that Gakumas global isn't even out and will no doubt run behind the Japanese version, it just seems like a shitty design choice.
>>51188665It does have pantsu, they're just stingy with it. Or do you just mean like g-strings?
>>51188688JP players are part of the problem. Lots of them actively defend this diaper shit. Reminds me of BA where they unironically praised the 50/50 gacha. Meanwhile CN chimped out and got Shinku's spats reverted back to pantsu in NTE.
>>51188898>>51180030Is NTE any good?
>>51188926It's okay? It feels like Genshin and Wuwa hatefucked and had a baby.It has all the shitty mechanics from both games that are ultra outdated and were fixed in HSR/ZZZ and modern games but Hotta didn't get the memo.It's not all bad though, the girls are cute and it's better than playing Genshin or Wuwa but it definitely has its flaws. Also the /vg/ general is extremely, insanely and insufferably schizophrenic always sperging out about this or that.Likely dropping it for Promilia whenever it comes out to be quite honest but it's fun for now I guess. I personally prefer Endfield myself though because I rate games depending on how many flat/loli characters the game has and how easy it is to keep up with when you're busy or don't feel like playing.
>>51188892I just meant pantsu in general, not necessarily G-strings.>>51188942I thought Promilia was struggling?
>>51188945If you heard it on this site then it's probably from the gacha drama general since the thread was literally born from a group of people that loathe promilia because it has a female MC.The combat looks fun, the girls are very cute and it seems to have a wealth of loli/flat characters which puts it at the top of my most anticipated games right now but it might change after actually playing it though my tolerance for shit games is rather high if the amount of loli characters is also high.
>>51188942>Also the /vg/ general is extremely, insanely and insufferably schizophrenic always sperging out about this or thatYeah that's nearly every /vg/ general.
>>51188688Japan has fallen...Korea and China are our only hope now...
>>51189055>Chinauntil the eye of sauron gazes upon the subculture and triggers the next censorship wave that is.
>>51188850It's just the logical step, why would they bother with an english twitter account introducing the characters (censoring their three sizes btw) and concerts in the US if not to release a game? Now the real question would be if its going to be a Global version of Gakumas or a complete new game>>51188898You shouldnt use AI for this, but sadly its true. I checked japanese tweets on xitter and most of them were just talking about Hiro being skinny and they never focused the butt in their pictures, they know its ugly, but they got too used to japanese companies doing this shit that they dont raise their voice anymore.At least we still have Starlight Stage that has actually good swimsuits >>51188926It's fun I guess, I installed it for the dating aspects it had, got entertained by the whole city dynamic, made me feel like I was playing GTA online for the first time again, I got overwhelmed because there is just too much stuff happening at the same time, but that could just be me that Im playing multiple gachas. I dont like that it only has 1 loli tho.>>51189159It's already happening, the feminist convinced the CCP to kill Snowbreak, they barely make revenue now, and it's going to EOS at any moment
>>51189176Didn't the producer of Gakumas say in a past interview that they have no plans to have a global release since the west has zero understanding of idol culture?
>>51189639Oh, is that why hololive is super unpopular in the west
SS is the modern SNP
>>51190006It is?
>>51190910It is enough to fill concert halls and have their own conventions>>51189639Even if that were true, a single producer doesnt have a say in a possible world expansion. That is decided in comitees that only see money and dont really care about the medium. They can just throw it to Cygames USA and they will delete anything Idol or Japan culture they dont like. Just like they deleted Gyarus in Uma
>>51188417>k4sen grim
>>51181935>I'm not sure it's Genshin's faultIt's definitely Genshin's fault. None of these problems would exist nor get amplified if Genshin didn't make gacha mainstream and sucking all the worst of normalfags along with it. Genshinfags are the worst.
>>51181603Fun fact: Honkai 3rd used to have unique interactions whenever you touch the valkyrie's tits, tummy, or pussy. They removed this system when they started developing Genshin. Ironically, the only gacha I can think of that kinda does this are Star Savior (kinda) and fucking Trickcal. I don't think BA even does this.
>>51196027Is that supposed to be agreeing that people only liked the game because they could cum to it?
>>51196038A part of it yeah. The idea's pretty novel at that time, and I think still is now. I don't know what happened, but when they started developing Genshin back on 2019 they started to "clean-up" their image to put it mildly.
>>51196027azur lane has it too or had it
>>51197024What's the point of that over just playing a dmm game and going all the way?
