Genuine question, why do you like these games and keep making thread about them?
They're just slot machines you can walk around in. There's APPARENTLY at least 60-ish DIFFERENT games according to /vg/ threads, yet they all look EXACTLY the same, so what the actual fuck makes you want to make threads about them?
And please don't tell me it's about the girls in the games, when just like the games themselves they are all exactly the same, It's like that Regular Show meme where it's just the same character in different costumes.
>>
>>714920529
it sounds pathetic when you read what you said yet more than half the thread is defending it to death. Video Games are no longer a thing. The medium is dead and a bunch of tranny otaku zoomers who hate buying normal games ruined it because of their obsession with cartoon women

And then the fags on this board have the audacity to blame me for playing gacha, there is nothing else left to play, gaming is dead and we killed it

Not any of those anons you replied to (I don't play gacha games) but the thing is that it's 100% about the girls in the game, but also the sunk cost fallacy.

The thing about gacha games is that they use the sunk cost fallacy to get people attached to characters. Each character has "Real world" value because they are way more rare than they should be. This means that when someone DOES get those characters they're inherently happy not because of anything regarding the character themselves, but because they have something that has artificial value.
The few times I did try Gacha games, even I felt some actual joy when I managed to pull a super rare/desired character. Not because I actually liked them or the gameplay, but because it meant I suddenly had something that other people desired and were spending tons of money/time to try and get. I inevitably quit a day or two later because the gameplay sucked, but the feeling of joy of just getting something rare that other people want is real, even if it's all artificial.

Some people get that initial joy and then play the game longer, sinking their time or god forbid money into it. Then at a certain point they will realize these games are a chore, but by then they have invested too much into the game to quit. Therefore they attach themselves to these characters because they have spent 3000 hours or dollars or some mixture of the two on them. It's like Stockholm syndrome to a virtual anime girl on top of the sunk cost.
>>
>>714921065
Deltarune has maybe one thread up at a time, while gacha is half the catalog. Not even comparable
>>
>>714922074
you know many of those games have released in the 2010s before gacha slop even were a thing? You act like gacha slop is the only thing to talk about because you are a cancerous human being that cant look beyond the shittiest games imaginable aka gacha slop

nah even if the gameplay is good, it's ruined by the gacha aspects, and I don't just mean rolling for characters. All the mechanics have to adhere to a "lengthen the game loop artificially" mentality, dripfeeding rewards and keeping you on a steady pattern of doing tedious tasks to keep you from blasting through the content while also keeping it timed so you have to complete it in a certain amount of time. It's extremely manipulative and not worth any amount of investment, time OR money.
>>
>>714922549
The key demographics for gacha are people with low intelligence who cannot control their impulses. This makes up just about 50% of the total population. Everyone who plays this shit on even a semi-regular basis fits into this grouping, and there's a good chance they come from third world countries.

the hamster wheel aspect only kicks in once you have done literally everything, it is mostly filler while waiting for an update.

take genshin impact for example is you start now it will probably take 3-5 months before you run out of non-daily grind content unless you absolutely no life it, then probably 300-500 hours?

this is even with temporary event content being removed over time (though they talked about bringing back the good events from the past as permanent content sometime last year)

Star Rail would probably take more but that is because that game is word vomit where a single content update takes like 20-30 hours unless you skip all dialog.

There are currently 5, which is significantly less than half of /v/.
>>
>>714923801
Just continuing this line of reasoning, consider that ANY female representation aimed at men in games is immediately criticized by the media and activists. The radicalism is real, and they don't want to give men any space. NO female character can be made to appeal to male pleasure, and whenever one appears, activists and the press immediately criticize it to try to use their influence to economically hurt anyone who dares to go against their religious fundamentalism.
Small games get away with it simply because they don't get on these people's radar, but eventually even indie games or even fucking erotic games get "canceled" by this crowd.

/v/ is just not as fun as it used to be, but I blame the game industry for that. Not even Nintendo is doing anything interesting so the main catalyst for /v/ activity has nothing to go on.

Western companies didn't have to allow them in to the industry like this.

For the record they was some schizo shilling out a 2 hour visual novel called Slay the Princess 20 times a day and had a meltdown about gacha threads burying his shilling.

>/vg/
>discussion
/vg/ has this funny thing where 95% of the board's traffic, which seems very high, is just ritualposting faggots shitting up every single thread while pretending to be their chosen waifu who don't actually want to discuss anything and will get genuinely pissed off at you if you try, and 5% of the board's traffic is actual discussion about videogames

check out the east asian genocide general (musou games), very very good threads full of game discussion and /his/fags posting well thought out essays about ancient Chinese seekrits and they are so slow they almost get bumped off the board regularly by the ritualfags

/horg/ and /rlg/ are both dead, threads struggle to stay alive somehow even though horror continues to be a very popular genre and /rlg/ became infested with faggots that just want to drama post about stupid discord clique shit

/vg/ is mostly a containment board

the singular biggest issue facing this entire site is that the owner doesn't give a shit about it, which in turn means the jannies are allowed to be as shit as they want, which in turn means that unless you have the rare janny that actually gives a shit about his chosen board, the board itself is going to be pure sewage most of the time

I'm still here purely because the hack taught me that there is literally nowhere else left on the internet to discuss anything that isn't worse, all my old forums are dead and places like Twitter and Reddit make this place seem like a haven of intelligent polite scholars by comparison

nothing will change until site ownership passes to someone who cares, which seems unlikely given that when the hack happened Hiro was offered $1,250,000 by the owner of poast for the site and he didn't even bother replying to him

my biggest fear is that, as shit as this place is, if it goes down there is genuinely nowhere else, when the hack happened even moe got barely any traffic and half of what they got was the fucking gacha and vtuber fags
>>

This is something exclusively espoused by newfags as an issue, considering moot's heavy handed moderation of the website is what got him reduced to luggage lad in the first place.
>which in turn means the jannies are allowed to be as shit as they want, which in turn means that unless you have the rare janny that actually gives a shit about his chosen board, the board itself is going to be pure sewage most of the time
Again, newfag shit.
Over moderation is what nearly killed 4chan in the first place. Better to have jannies be barely involved than trying to contort the board into whatever fucked up thing they want it to be. The fact that you mistake /v/ as some retarded den of discussion or whatever proves that you don't get the site at all.

It's meant to have moderation in the sense that the big rules are enforced and the guideline rules exist moreso as guidelines, yeah.
The idea of overmoderation killing sites literally came out of 4chan, with moot basically causing gamergate to explode by calling constant moderator meetings, mass replacing and adding staff to control it, and eventually getting all of that exposed. He used moderation in an attempt to control the direction of the site and it blew up in his face.

Anyways, the point is that 4chan has been and always should be user moderated. That's why /v/ has always been a shithole by the way, this isn't something that magically started in 2014, or 2016, or 2018, or 2020, or whatever magical year people are pulling out now, the things /v/ is most well known for are mass sperg outs over dumb shit like 8.8 or flooding the board with Japan Time or literally stealing OC from /b/ every single day.

Modern 4chan isn't user moderated at all and the moderation is very heavy handed, they just defend shit that is detrimental to the board's original culture (as this entire thread is pointing out) while actively nuking on topic videogame threads constantly.

The reality is that most people here are intensely unlikable and aren't really welcome in most online spaces just because they use abrasive language and constantly force politics into every discussion.

Always the exact same shit, with them repeating the same handful of jokes ad nauseum, constant talk about American politics, inevitable spamming of gore or tranny porn (seriously), 'jaks, and it culminates in them getting really annoyed at any slight against them.

it's hardly an anime site, it's basically a cartoon sex tourism website with 1 anime board and idk like 8 variations of hentai boards
gacha is slop and deserves to be mocked, i actually like anime just not cookie cutter generic slutty anime JPEGs tweened like newgrounds animations

>>you have to allow newfags to flood in and fuck up your board
Who said that?
>with chanology 2.0 because that's le 4chan culture
Gamergate would've passed pretty quickly had moot not tried so hard to silence it is the ironic part, and the reason he did try was because he was directly involved with Sarkeesian and went to her talks.
It is quite literally his fault that it changed the makeup of the site- so again, moderation caused this.

>Modern 4chan isn't user moderated at all
Yeah, because most of you are spineless faggots, and that's why every other board is solely filled with /v/ crossposters, everyone just left lol.
>and the moderation is very heavy handed,
It really isn't.
You posted shit, from what, /vt/? That's a mod petboard like /a/, who cares.
>while actively nuking on topic videogame threads constantly.
I don't get why this is said when you can go through deleted /v/ threads and see that 99% of all threads deleted are rulebreaking. The only "video games" threads that get deleted with any regularity are Pragmata threads for obvious reasons.
>We used to be able to bombard dogshit threads into oblivion and now you get banned for doing it
You were never allowed to do that actually. All that actually means is you're getting reported more btw.

The shills are the ones doing this btw.
Hiro sold this shithole to be spammed by advertiser, it's why the IP counter was removed.
Enjoy the endless gachaslop "discussion" and 0 board OC forever.
