I don't really mind it as long as the game respects your time. I need to be able to not log in for 20 hours and not miss anything. These fuckers that litter the game with all this shit on 4 or 3 hour timers can get fucked.

Also, no dicks. Absolutely no dicks. I'm not saving up pulls for a month to use on a banner that's a sausage fest with 1 super hot high-tier girl.

Right now I'm messing with some badly translated chink-shit called Maiden and Lord which is good about that. It's alright.

I think it's a combination of factors that make them so popular, and the biggest three of them are:
1. Gambling (obviously)
2. Pandering to a lonely and horny audience
3. Providing a live community as a live service game (which is, again, pandering to a lonely audience)
And then after spending time and/or money people feel obliged to stay because of FOMO/because they spent money/because ther waifu will miss them etc.

Yep, it's that easy, but some companies still insist on turning their gacha into mixed toilet, trying to pander to both sides but only making things weird and flopping as a result.

same question but Uma Musume specifically
each run takes like 30 mins on average and the resulting trainee is a complete coin flip whether she'll be useless or above average
what drives a person to dump hundreds of hours just flipping coins? even in the highest competitive race you can lose to a scrub who got lucky after you spent 100 hours rolling for the perfect trainee

It's a type of video game for people who dont like video games.
You play it only 5 minutes per day and the gameplay doesn't require any skill just money spent.

For Fate, it's the story and its very strong characters. There are some seriously good parts to it, and lots of appeal to be found with who these people are and what they do. People will disparage this post, but that's because we're on /v/ where all praise is disparaged universally.

It's obviously the f2p model and easy accessibility on phones. The excessive spending comes from people being psychologically manipulated into spending. Since the gacha market has kinda saturated, these games now have to offer real gameplay and quality to capture an audience. That's it basically. Also that revenue chart is fake.

F2P games with low time commitment, attractive anime characters, and very active communities.
The problem is that, like the F2P asian MMOs before them, they prey on gambling addicts in order to survive. Most of them put absolutely zero effort into hiding what they really care about.

I get a huge beautiful open world to explore in genshin all for free, with cute girls and lots of things to do. if I’m in a good mood i even knock out a story quest and read all the verbose slop. and there’s always an active community to talk about it with whether flinging shit with retards here or elsewhere. it’s not a game I play all the time but I can come back whenever and don’t feel pressure to spend a lot. I have no interest in other gachas apart from wuwa but honestly one gacha game is enough. multiple in rotation sounds stressful

I love that Fate is the top winner when psychos like you exist. You must be completely freaked out cause Fate doesn't function without the male servants. Fan favorites are men, meta staples are men, freebie servants are men, you get husbands, you get bros, you get little brothers.
I'd bet you sob over girls not being virgins either. (Fate is loaded down with open sluts.)
Fate doesn't need to pander to schizos and Fate always wins for it.

The best way to enjoy a gacha is not to play it and instead just enjoy the images, videos, doujins and the rest of the stuff that comes out of it.
>>
>>719943002
I play Wuthering Waves, and while the main story is dogshit early on and full of lame anime tropes, the action combat is actually a lot of fun, the pretty girls are a nice bonus too. The open world is a standard Botw copy, but I enjoy it for what it is.

It is still a gacha game, you don't treat it as a normal game where you beat it and move on, you have to play a bit each day to grind for stuff, some people dislike this system, I used to as well but started to enjoy the grind, little by little your characters get stronger. The gambling still sucks but there is a pity system at least.

If you're okay with playing a live service Botw clone with DMC combat and cute anime girls, play WuWa or Genshin, the rest of the games I'm not familiar with it.
>>
>>719943002
Just started playing Wuthering Waves, and honestly it shits on all tripple A games since the late 2010s. It's showed the potential of mobile games to compete with console/PC, gacha is no longer just png collectors or boring clones of famous games that we remembered it being. Another plus is because it recognizes the appeal of sexual appeal, it has to make the girls as sexy as possible and not appeal to the westoid woke crowd's demands, some gacha however censor/precensor their games to appeal to the people who don't even play games

Agreed, if you push the responsibility of educating the masses to the state, they will never learn how to think for themselves, a few thousands ruining their lives with gambling is well worth.

>without even needing to dodge
Did we play the same game? If you're not dodging and parrying you're completely fucked
>>
>>719953135
there are plenty iframes to take advantage of
sure you might dodge sometimes but parrying is redundant, if you can even call that parrying since you press the same button you basic attack with to do so
>>
>>719952972
Yea it's got the combat of onirism and the entertainment value of a youtube poop from 2010, so riviting, very engaging, many fun. Gacha niggers are the reason AAA games suck, the paypig effect has infected every inch of the gaming industry and they gaslight themselves into thinking it's not the gambling, but the gameplay that makes it so good. Yeah, the autopilot hack and slash slot machine is totally a game that's fun, no it's not the flashing colors or making people act in a way that the devs explicity train them to do, or the forced sex appeal that manipulates the most gullible idiots into spending more money, and definitely not due to decades of stealing information from the second most annoying technologically advanced society currently infesting the world. Couldnt be.

For me the appeal is the time investment. I like playing as a f2p and gradually building up my account over time logging in every day to do my dailies and gradually increase my account power to engage with all the end game content. Though despite that I despise PVP in every gacha since it's just whale bait.

>there are plenty iframes to take advantage of
So does Bayonetta, DMC, Souls games and Monster Hunter. If you don't dodge, you're are screwed.

>if you can even call that parrying since you press the same button you basic attack with to do so
But you need timing, and MGR did the same thing.

You can say it's easier than the average action game, but it's still a fairly competent one.

The thing is though people aren't really capable of thinking for themselves when they're young, you're allowing all these predatory gambling industries to prey on our children, grooming them into developing addictive personality disorders.
