Why would you play gacha? What do you get out of this?

It all depends on how you want to play it, I play arknights maybe once or twice each week and enjoys it

Doomposter-kun... you sure obsessed with a genre you claim to hate.
Since you forgot since the last time you made this post: Gacha are by far the most generous games of any genre. Top tier art, story, music, and gameplay are all available completely for free. You have literally nothing to lose by playing a gacha and yet you complain about it while you spend $90 on westoid Call of Souls slop. The players continue to log into gacha every day even years after release. Can you say the same about Elden battlefield #4528105? No, you can't. I'm pretty sure the only reason you hate on the genre so much is because you're afraid you will enjoy it. More generosity for me I suppose, and the story is actually really good for a gacha.

>that one gacha taking 20 minutes
You faggots do this shit everyday?
>>
by the way, what gachas do you guys play? i'm thinking about trying one
>>
>>720846379
The experience of having a regular commitment and investing in my favourites is something I've only ever gotten from gacha (and, to a lesser extent, pokemon)
There are parts of it that suck, but there's no other experience like committing to it

I can't understand the people who regularly play multiple gachas or regularly spend money on them though. I only very rarely buy cosmetics and it took me like 5 years of playing to even do that
>>

The Monday reset is especially unbearable, having to do Hollow Zero in ZZZ is an absolute time black hole

>>720846379
I started playing the persona gacha because I decided I wanted persona style combat in my daily routine, and for the most part, it works out.
>>
>>720846379
1. Gambling
2. Fanservice
3. Sense of progress in your otherwise stagnant life

You don't play gacha. No one would squander their generosity with a doompost like this. You're an anti who probably skipped through the dialog.
>>
>>720846379
I used to play a bunch. It had a similar appeal to me as roguelites and draft formats in TCGs - getting a random selection of things to work with and doing the best you can with them.

>>
>>720847781
I do. I'm currently playing ZZZ, Arknights and Wuwa. I'll maybe get back into Genshin in the following months.
I used to play Hi3rd, Guardian Tales, PGR, HBR and HSR.
It's just the worst genre you can play.
>>
>>720846737
please be a pasta
>>
>>720846379
These types of people actually exist and they're the ones always clamouring for a skip dialogue button in genshin for that reason. A game catering to dopamine addled subhumans like that isn't a game i want to play.
>>
>>720847781
"people" like you belong on stakes or beneath gallows

gacha fags be like "actually the story is really good for a gacha" and then you read it and its about getting farted on in a sewer
>>
>>720846737
I lost motivation for every single gacha I used to play, some after multiple years of regular login.
>>
>>720848560
Neverending stories are never good. No one is retarded enough to close money printing gacha just because the story is ending. Nope, endless asspulls to keep things going no matter how detrimental to the story it is.
>>
>dailies
If your time is less valuable than your money you really, really have some shit to work on before you should be playing video games
>>
>>720846737
gacha isn't a genre you retard, the only thing the games in the OP share are monetization
>>
>>720849273
No one chooses or picks up a gacha for the gameplay genre, they do it for the monetization itself. HSR almost never gets brought up in general JRPG discussion because of that.

What always lured me in was the lewdness and the cute girls, especially the lolis. You know how hard it's to find that nowadays outside of gacha.
Thankfully I've been gacha free for almost a year now and I'm using that time and money on real games.
>>
for all you gacha haters why should I play something with loot boxes or battlepasses over gacha?
honest question
>>
>>720849273
Gacha is a genre. One based around the monetization with subgenres included as a superficiality.
>>
>>720849690
expedtion 33 devs called star rail a premium triple AAA gacha game
>>
>>720846692
It is, I always find funny how the daily content is just "kill same enemies in the same place every day for the next year until we add a better place to do that" and variations, Genshin is just doing errands randomly each day, ZZZ is just fighting in a box over and over, and others are just wasting all your energy in doing auto stuff on the menus

Actually, I find that it's really fun to spend on a gacha game. The games are completely free, but it feels so good to click the purchase button.

Games used to be fun you miserable cretin. Now it's just gambling for skins and minimum viable gameplay loop to keep you addicted. I hate what gaming has become and so should you.
>>
>>720851414
Purchasing skins is fun. Generous prices are fun. The game is free so you have literally nothing to lose by trying it. I think you're afraid of enjoying yourself.

I played Genshin for a time and the daily quests are what finally made me quit. I would have quit sooner because of the awful story but getting Mona tricked my monkey brain into thinking I was having fun. I was not. I hated almost every aspect of it. The girls were hot but their designs were pretty tame and I heard they've gotten even more neutered.

Gachafags tell you the writing is the best shit ever... but i think they just have very low standards as evidenced by them playing gacha
>>
>>720846379
They provide a feeling of long term progression for people who normally would have fallen into asian MMOs. Those games have mostly died out, and the survivors are antisocial experiences that either expect far more time than gachas or have morphed into being worse versions of them.
But just like MMOs, you shouldn't play gachas.
>>
>>720846379
Aight i'm playing devil advocate:
Instead of blaming gachafags why dont you blame the world for making shit system that ended up making people turn to gacha game
This shit is causal effect right here. Nobody want or willing to play gacha game had life is meaningful and actually enjoyable. People play gacha as escapism because the world is utterly dull and repetitive, life is inherently boring and a time wasting act, there's no rewarding system in there. In gacha you play, you work your asses off to get gacha ticket currency, and you get your character. Its as simple as card collecting game and nothing more, yet playing it was deemed as problematic in this modern world
>>
>>720849273
The monetisation is the defining factor of the genre. None of these games have gameplay.
>>
>>720846936
20 minutes is baby numbers. You should see umamusume. 2 hours of completely mindless clicking and slot machine rolling a day. Every day.

I play 1999 which is thankfully 5-10min dailies at worst.
And the reward for it is letting you replay any events the game has had. The only fomo is party characters and skins. If you're a storyposter you can read it all

I only play 2 gacha games. ZZZ and Broen Dust 2. Dailies take 5 minutes in ZZZ and between 5-10 in BD2 if I do everything but most days I don't.

That's pretty accurate, except for the fact that a regular person probably doesn't have those speedrunning strats, so it takes twice as long.

>implying creating a random cute girl and then making her suffer isn't the peak of writing
>>
>>720859245
>Speedrun strats
Even with the fucking speedup and leaving it as a thumbnail I can see that motherfucker is going out and doing commisions for his dailies ontop of spending his resin when the game has given you daily credit for the latter, making the prior obsolete.
>>
>>720856646
>Gachafags tell you the writing is the best shit ever...
No they do not
>>
>>720851414
I've legitimately enjoyed the gameplay, story, and music in gatchaslop, and didn't spend a dime. You seem like you are just not enjoying games and playing them anyway.
>>
>>720859245
>speedrun
OP's genshin run should've only been <5 mins
>3 domain clears spends 180 resin, completes the commissions
>45 secs average each domain
>1 min combined of running from teleport points
>>
>>720860461
Domain clears don't give commission progress anymore.
>>
>>720860461
2 domain clears, 120 resin is all it takes for dailies
as for speedrun strats, depending on your characters you might be able to nuke some Hard SO bosses faster than the domain you want to farm
>>720860729
they never did? spending the resin on the domains is what gives you progress
>>
>>720860729
they do by spending resin to collect rewards or convert to condensed resin, not the clear itself
>>720860837
True but spending more than 150 resin gets the daily battlepass XP
>>
>>720860837
>>720860957
I spent all my resin on domains the other day and had zero commission progress afterwards.
>>
>>720861018
your long term encounter points status, at the bottom the daily page? it resets with every patch, so you may not have done anything yet to get any points, but they absolutely pile on so you never have to worry about it
>>
>>720861174
I forgot that you have to accumulate those and then convert them with resin. It was the first time I had logged in since around Escoffier's banner. My bad!

There's a reason Asian society has collapsed from China to Japan to South Korea. They have literally no future and no bitches. You know how normalfags go on dates and go out on the weekends and sustain our species? Yeah that doesn't happen in Asia. There is quite literally nothing else to do but go to work and look at your phone. You're too tired to do anything else, even a computer is too much work. You play on your phone on your commute and while taking a shit then you go to bed.

The stories and exploration with characters I like are fun. If you don't want to grind every day, then simply don't.
