Anybody interested in Endfield?
>>725971369If I get my fuckin beta access then yeah. Otherwise Lowlight can suck a fat one
>>725971369>GachaNo
>>725971369Not unless you're offering a beta key.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpp5kbR3agoIt's looks incredible. It's genuinely the only upcoming game that gives me goosebumps every trailer.
>>725974060Im only interested in the factory stuff and the water physics. Combat looks whatever
I like that Arknights has men and women, instead of having this weird gender exclusivity to cater to the men/women playing.Sometimes I want to be Wolfboy Dante, and not big titty anime girl.
>>725974276>Combat looks whateverCombat in these sort of games only flourishes in endgame bosses where you're incentivized to switch characters frequently.
The art and UI design is perfect. It's what I expected Bungie's Marathon to look like in a perfect world.
I just want NotHoshiguma in 3D please.

>mirin chikuwa is not a guest artistnah Im good
Crazy to how much China is mogging Japan at 3d anime games lately.
>>725975443Ch'en is... happy?
>>725971369will there be yuri?
>>725971369No, but if it leads to more pandering like Elblanana then it's a win.
>>725975407who?
>>725975443Japan is making Farmagia. These gacha games cook all the recent Japanese games, they're lucky Nintendo EAD and Fromsoft are still there.
>>725975879A woman cannot find fulfillment through the promise of motherhood and family through another woman.
>>725971369no why the fuck would I be I play Limbus Company
>>725975443Japanese devs are way too conservative and are unwilling to adapt quickly to meet market changes. There are pros and cons to being conservative but in this case it's really not helping them when it comes to making technically impressive 3D anime style games. I don't know why a publisher like Bandai Namco or Square Enix hasn't attempted to try something with the same ambition at least from a visual technical perspective. And it's kind of sad that we've reached a point where Chinese mobile games devs are more ambitious than the majority of Japanese devs.
Arknights would be kino as an anthro serieshttps://youtu.be/6FPc0PeB3rM?si=0JDcWQ7vMKZbYWcj
This game looks interesting but when something is in dev so long esp a gacha i feel like theyre going to make the worst possible decisions and its going to be awful.
>>725976681>webmI will now play your game
isnt this game full of furries
>>725971369>Literally just Mio Xenoblade Why are chinks creatively bankrupt? They could at least make their inferior cucked gacha have unique designs.
She's in.
>>725971369
>>725978584I want to fuck her mom
They better include the Sui in thatI want my glorious Nian in 3D
>>725976461>There are pros and cons to being conservativeIronically enough, the JP boomer core franchise that is Dragon Quest is the only one that dared go full on with its original Toriyama aesthetic with the latest instalment instead of trying to go realistic like FF.
>>725976608it would be kino if you kill yourself
>>725971369I like Arknights so no_
>>725971369I am, but I feel like as soon as I read the story I would lose all interest because its gonna be another bloated ai writing
>>725971369I am but it's taking forever to come out
>>725975443Ch'en should not smile.Ch'en should not be happy.Ch'en must suffer forever.
>>725975443I used to hate anime 3D games because of how awful the models looked but china is changing my mindit's not that they all look awful, you just need good modelers or whatever the people in charge of making them are called
>>725980820Japan would change your mind if you'd just look into the higher quality Japanese gacha and some of the other games they make. Most of the good stuff doesn't get brought overseas. But a lot of the stuff you see out of these Chinese and Korean games are simply copying stuff Japan already did.
GFLsisters.....
>>725979806Expect a Chinese themed area in 1.1 or 2.0 by CCP mandate due to funding.
>>725980989yeah, maybe I just played shitty jp games (like FGO. Althout it isn't 3D, their 3D arcade version had awful models). Persona games were fine thochina also has games with awful models, like genshin. I like playing genshin and all but I wish their models were better. Honkai Star Rail has better models and they're still kinda shit
>>725981261FGO arcade is just a 3D blender of the worst slop. Have you seen the pictures of the cards that get sold off of being printed directly from the arcade? It sells ridiculously high for some cheap sparkly carboard shit that ain't actual card collectibles. And yes they can ABSOLUTELY do better models but don't and both sides of east and west players loathe it while home players just play it anyway. It's disgusting.
>>725981261Chinese definitely roll it out globally better, I'll say that. I assume the Japanese often don't as many are satisfied with their own market alone. The Japanese could make a lot more by doing it. The fact that games like Genshin can be super popular and still have stuff like lolis in it proves that they wouldn't even need to sanitize anything for this. Just push it until it is normalized. Many in the west already view Japanese culture as somewhat familiar and comfortable. All it takes is just doing.
>>725981143I dont mind any other national themed segments, but these chink ones are always such a slog to get through for some reason, am I alone in this?
>>725981696>Have you seen the pictures of the cards that get sold off of being printed directly from the arcade?yes, I actually love them and would be great to own some of them. But I'm poor so whatever>And yes they can ABSOLUTELY do better modelsanother example of bad models and very recent too is that madoka RPG gamethey copied honkai star rail but somehow they made it uglier
>>725981846It's because developers don't plan around it. Obviously most games in their stories at that point would be better served by going to Antarctica or space something at that point to unveil more of the mystery, but we gotta have Lianzhou.
>>725971369No. I have openworld gacha fatigue. It's late to the table and as far as I'm concerned the fad has passed.
>>725982532pretty sure this isn't open world
>>725971369I tried getting into Arknight but ultimately dropped it since the tower defense gameplay was ultimately not something I was interested in. I do like what I'm seeing so far from Endfield tho, so I'll probably try it when it releases. Altough since I'm playing 4 gacha games already (Genshin, HSR, ZZZ and PGR), I'll need to drop one if I don’t want to go insane (and it’s likely going to be PGR, or ZZZ if 2.X keeps on being a disapointment).
>>725982589Isn't it just yet another genshin clone? Granted every genshin clone has been better than genshit itself.
>>725982672from what I've seen and heard, this like a semi-open world RPG game
Sui sisters status?
>>725980989>if you'd just look into the higher quality Japanese gachaSuch as?
>>725980989>Most of the good stuff doesn't get brought overseasWhat doesn't get brought here? There's that one mecha gacha and that's it.
>>725982912Disgaea RPG is my favorite
>>725983365>chibiI thought you meant japan had some decent 3D gacha. I would not call chibis "higher quality".
>>725971369does it even have a release date yet
>>725971369They want your CV to play a genshin beta so nahToo much Chinese shit in the game it’s doomed
>>725983945imagine if people said "too much america in this game" for western games
oh right i was gonna check out a trailer for this. so many games to play
i thought this was open world game like genshinwhy is it tower defense and base building?
>>725984026The issue with chinese shit in modern chinese games, at least the big ones, is they can't do anything interesting with it for fear of backlash. It's potentially a really cool setting and aesthetic but they always end up playing it safe.
>>725984425I get what you're saying but I just don't understand the complains
>>725971369only if they remove the 50-50 hoyocuck gacha
>>725983569They aren't chibi. The only chibi Disgaea stuff is the mainline games right now. The gacha doesn't have 3d models though to be fair (although it has very good art). But 3d models are prevalent in many gacha.
>>725984495Because like I said, they play it safe and it ends up being boring. I'd love to see a game that goes balls to the wall with it and doesn't pull it's punches but alas whether it's governmental interference or the fanbase throwing a shitfit it won't happen.
>>725984612i hated the china stuff in hsr but I enjoyed it in wuwa
>>725971369I was until I found out it had PGR style action game-lite-lite combat and wasn't just a cool factory automation game I was going to be able to buy for $60.Now I don't give a shit at all, especially since they're reusing characters from Arknights which I think is really lazy and stupid of them to do
>>725975443Happy Ch'en? Why is she happy? My Ch'en is an angry little ex-cop, this isn't my Ch'en...
>>725983636"Early 2026", no actual release date
>>725971369Looks like a gacha from the single image you posted so no, I will never "play" a (((gacha))) period.
>>725984695Modern hoyo is pretty much the absolute worst when it comes to china shit yeah.
>>725971369To be completely honest, the only reason I'm going to try it is because it's related to regular Arknights. I adore Arknights but I'm really not a huge fan of this type of 3D world roam gacha.Also, no defined release date makes me tune out of updates on it.
My wife W won BIGLY albeit
>>725971369Sorry, but my wallet is too occupied with the OG Arknights.
>>725985360She's in?
>>725987308No but im in her if you get what im putting down.
>>725984931How else would they get AK players to even look at it when it's a different genre with higher requirements?
>>725989186No you have to explain further
>>725989304By having it set in the same universe and containing oblique hints at the other game? Or MAYBE don't cannibalize your own audience and cause the two games to be directly competing because if one of the wins the other one dies instead of having two separate games/revenue streams.Modern game industry executives and stakeholders are retarded
>>725989962The problem with that is AK already pigeonholed themselves there, AND this is already set in the same universe. AK as it is takes place throughout the entire planet it's on and also established that regular space travel is a big no-no because of the Observers.As for the latter part of your post, they explicitly didn't do that because Ex Astris was a total flop and their other efforts are unrelated in style.
>>725990698Did Ex Astris actually flop according to internal expectations or did it flop because it didn't show up in your meme charts?
I have gacha fatigue. Just give me a full priced game.
>>725971369If its still just gacha Xenoblade then I'll jump in.
>>725971369It will probably be my last gacha in 2026.
signed up for beta but then realized i dont want to play beta, ill wait for release. not worth the time and effort for just trying out slop
>>725974276Basically this. The factory is all I care about. All the other Genshin clone gameplay can line up
Once heard some anon say this game reminded him of Death Stranding. Does anyone else agree? I’m trying to see it
>>725994035Well it has a somewhat similar aesthetic and you can setup ziplines to get around places like in Death Stranding.
>>725990698Releasing it as a premium mobile game was a mistake.
>>725976967yes. even the men. even evil or cool looking men have cute little cat ears. imagine if mao zedong or mads mikkelsen had fluffy cat ears. that’s what this game is.
>>725981846It’s because they’re unoriginal. We’ve all watched Kung Fu Panda and all chinese names all sound the same. It gets tedious after awhile
>>725984931They put out a 15 minute gameplay preview a month ago and I don’t think there was a single second of factory gameplay. Just the typical shitty EN dub and the boring DMC-lite combat every other gacha has now
>>725994102Fair. I’ll keep my eyes on this game. I really don’t give a shit about the combat or story or characters but the base stuff seems interesting enough to give it a try
>>725971369>endless furryshit>feminist devs means shipping and LGBTshit shoved down your throat>gameplay is factorio but you can only play for a limited time per day via genshin stamina system>soulless open world slop on top of that>forced 50-50 like genshin to make rolling feel awful, probably a weapon banner equivalent too>not possible to maintain the level of 3D model quality unless it makes huge profits and the market is already oversaturatedyeah pass
I sincerely hope lowlight doubles down on the yuri aspect of the game, especially when the feMC is heavily preferred by the existing fanbase
please dont require an SSDplease dont require an SSDfingers crossed
>>725998546bro, it's fucking 2025 alreadyhow the fuck you don't have an SSD?
>>725981143Anon, there's already 2 china-themed areas in the game, bamboo forest and futuristic city.
>>725984026>Use Japanese art and Western historical theming in Arknights>prc makes you forcefeed chinese bullshit in new gameThere's too much chinkwank in this gameNobody actually cares about spreading chinese influence except the prc. There's a reason Arknights has JP VA, JP art, Western naming & theming. So lets not pretend this pivot has any basis in artistic integrity or that anybody even enjoys hearing chinese words thrown around. Naming anything in that repugnant language brings a game down. Genshin, the game Endfield is copying, is a world tour it doesn't take place in chinatown on the shenzhen continent of zhixaeopailao province.
What's the gameplay like
>>725971369I'm interested. Hopefully it has short dailies, I'm already playing 7 gachas.
>>726000893bing bing wahoo
>>725971505Yep this.
>>726000893Satisfactory and Genshit
>>726001347Can not think of a worse combo
how long does it take until chinese games have actual good story and decent gameplay
>>726001347and wet fucking titiies. awooga
>>725998546Any game "requires" an SSD these days, and any game you can play on HDD as long as you cope with long loading times first time you boot a game that PC boot.
>>726001830>good storyWon't work with gacha, gachatards don't care about story.>decent gameplayWon't happen as long as they target phones, phone control to gamepad is what gamepad controls were to PC gaming 15 years ago.
>>726001830when xi-sama dies? I don't know
>>725971369I think this is gonna flop. They took too long to cook this and 3d gacha space is hella crowded now. We're also getting actual f2p games like dna, ananta, and where winds meet. There's really no reason to pick this up.
>>726001830some of them have a good story or at least the potential, but because they can't really give a real climax/ending and has to keep updating, the story gets stretched to oblivion and full of meaningless filler
>>725971369It's a schizophrenic game and by that I don't mean it's for schizos, this thing is filled to the brim with contradictory decisions that makes it seem like they don't know where the fuck they are going with it. They set it 150 years after Arknights so they are rather free him what happens in it and don't alienate a possible new audience but then bring back characters with one of the most retarded excuses imaginable given the setting which makes that having a sickness which was basically rock cancer and a death sentence in Arknights is now revealed to actually be a perk.They spent ungodly amounts of man hours on the factory system then introduce the shareable template feature which means that a ton of people will spend less than 5mn engaging with it, making it a mind boggling waste of dev time for how little playing time it add for the player.The franchise is known for its story but having it now be in 3D with cutscenes will make the grand scale it's used to cost a metric fuckton to animate.They backpedal from making the "player" character someone with his own agenda, thoughts and opinions (which sometimes don't align with what the player would want) back into a blank slate with Genshin's "Respond" "Respond with a quirky comment" dialogue choices.They initially showed a game where character dupes were very minor DPS improvements only to reveal in the preview of the next beta that now the dupes are WAY more significant. And so on. On top of that the last beta had some rather noticeable controversy because after a poll, it was revealed that people who answered that they didn't play Arknights were overwhelmingly more likely to get in the beta than the others.
>>725974276>>725993349This desu ne. This game is the first eastern factory building/automation game, so it's pretty unique in that regard. Rest of the gameplay is just a bonus to the facotry buiding one, for me at least.
>>725977072But Perlica is a bird girl
>>726003425>so they are rather free him what happens in itFuck, meant: "so they are rather free from what happens in it"
>>726003485It's at least the second, Dyson Sphere Program is chinese.
i just hope my pc can handle it
>>726004056They apparently rewrote Unity rendered from scratch, so it should be at least decently optimized.
>>726005605>Unity renderedUnity renderer derp
guncucks lost
>>726006469rent free
found the guncuck
>>725971369Yeah I've been looking forward to it since like 2022...
>>725974550>Fucking hate pretty much all Mihoyo male characters>Like the majority of Arknights male charactersWhat do they do different?
I've never really liked the arknights setting. The grim, gritty setting is shit. The military uniforms are shit.
>>725980989>gacha>quality
>>725971369their character designs are questionable
>>726007769im the opposite, I love that shit and hate the overly colorful settings

>>726012138the only reason I would get invested
I really like the character models but I find that they clash with the world, almost like a weeb modded his skyrimthe environments aren't anime looking enough, they look a bit realistic at times and it doesn't fit the characters
>>726012690I think characters with more realistic/practical outfits look fine. It's shit like pic related that sticks out like a sore thumb. with plastic buttplug tail as an icing on a weeb Skyrim porn mod aesthetics.
>>726013787>buttplug tailThat's the best part.
>>726013787Cute vapid bimbo slut
>>725971505Hope you're a KOI otherwise you ain't getting shit.
>>725971369Let me guess, chink fp2 gachashit?
>>725971369anyone actually going for english VA this time? it sounds ok
>>726014482H*ck no! A big part why I'm even looking forward to this game is a VA.
>>726014482Yeah I usually use English VA unless they're a travesty, the Endfield ones are good
>>726014482The only english voices I like are those with accents like Avywenna but most I dont care for.
>>726014604>H*ck no!What's wrong with Huck? You have something towards Huckleberry Finn?
>>726015020>FinnWhat ISN'T wrong with him?
I'm interested in it. I'm bored of ZZZ and will drop it soon. It was my first "character swap" action game and I don't like it. Spending 150 pulls to get a character you just swap out is stupid. Endfield looks like Xenoblade where everyone is on screen and fighting together and that interests me more. The factory thing might be cool too.Hopefully the story isn't too boring, the gacha shit isn't too greedy and I'll stick around.
>>726015991The gacha is better so long as you're not an impulsekek who doesn't save their rolls
>>726016049I think "building pity" is stupid so the system looks fine to me. Though I am sad to find out the banner characters aren't going to join the standard pool like originally planned. I'll try the game for 2 or 3 months when it launches and see if I like it.
>>726016209I thought Endfield will use pity system as well. Wasn't it on their last stream?
>>726009492What do you have against leeks?
>>726016294If I understand correctly, the 120 guaranteed banner character pull does not carry over. Only the 80 guaranteed 6 star.
>>726016294Not him, but it does have pity yeah at 120 pulls as the guarantee. Doesn't stop "building pity" from being stupid as fuck
>>726016431Oh, you mean the practice where people roll on an unwanted banner to "build" for the next? Yeah, that's retarded. You can still get spooked and ruin your plans.
no but I like the redhead
I wonder what their endgame be like. Right now the only mode is a mix of timed arenas from Genshin with collecting particles in-between. Factory content is one-and-done per region.
>>726009492>agticulture goverment officialkinda based
>>726014482I will use english, in Arknights they didn't add EN voices for a long time, then when they finally did they messed up the first few batches with shitty generic voices, then they started to improve drastically while going a bit too far into quirky but thats fine compared to having no character at all.
>>726009492What's wrong with this?
love my wife
>>726013787Liz love!
>>726017123honse
>>726013787Nothing wrong with dressing up like a slut if you are one
>>726017123I love the arknights horse girls
>people excited for the factory gameplayWhy though? It's a gacha, it'll be dumbed down in the same way the combat is dumbed down compared to actual video games
>>726017123
>>726016431>pity at 120 pulls
>>726017769It's 50/50 at 80 and guarantee at 120, basically genshit tight.
>>726017769Numbers are relative.
>>725999301Yeah, bro let me just pull $200 out of my ass real quick, got no other expenses anyway
>>726017856wuwa has hard pity at 80 pulls, star rail at 60 and here I thought those were bad
>>726017918NTA, but I don't know how people aren't using SSDs now that they're cheap. I had so many HDDs die after a few years of use, I never want to buy drives with mechanical parts ever again. Sure, SSDs are subject to wear and tear as well, but it's nowhere near the stress of mechanical drives. Not to mention the mental stress of you hearing the noises of a dying HDD, and then dealing with saving all of your old data.
>>726017918???
>>726017918You've had 15 years to gather 200.
>>726018083In the 30 years I've owned PCs, I've never had a HDD die on me even once. In fact, I still use the ones from old PCs as backup storage
>>726018136>256gbBarely enough space for one modern open world mobile game
>>726017981>>726017769Whoops, I mean pity at 80 and the spark at 120
>>726017981>>726018310Also, Star Rail's pity is 90 for characters and 80 for weapons, not 60
>>726018294it's more than enough unless you're some sort of hoarding low iq subhuman who can't be fucked to uninstall games he hasn't played in over a week
>>725975443#NotmyCh'en
>>726018310
>>725975879There's one (uno) canon gay character in Arknights.
>>726014604>what if surtr, but not a bitch
>>726018612So who are the "basic" 6 stars?
>>726018573>uninstall games he hasn't played in over a weekI can take even a 6-month break from a game because of work and stuff and still get back to it later when I feel like it, but don't necessarily want to play just that one thing. Don't pretend you have intelligence if you can't even process such a concept.
>>726018612The SSR rate is 0.8% for Endfield whereas HSR is 0.6%.Soft pity starts at 65 pulls in Endfield, no idea for HSR I can't remember.>>726018749Probably the six stars in the image, but we still don't know what the final roster of characters are cause they added a couple more six stars for the upcoming beta test.
>>726018612>6 star operatorAre you telling me there are actually 1-3 star operators? Why not just present 12-star characters straight off the bat? Would sound even cooler
>>726018789dumb hoarder>six monthsjesus christ
>>725971369The anime girls with cat ears are really putting me off.I don't understand the appeal.Granted, I hate both women and cats, so maybe that's the reason.
>>726018904Arknights has 1-3 star operators yeah
>>726018971>cat earsThat's clearly bird wings. Growing on her head, yes.
>>726018971Must be your homosexuality. Also, that's a bird, not a cat
>>726018904In Arknights there are 1-3 star operators, some of which got used in the hardest content in the game too despite being almost useless in normal hard content.
>>726018971>I hate womenBased!>I hate catsWhat the FUCK
>>726019010Shut the fuck up they ain't.>>726019035Mmmh maybe, yeah?I wouldn't likle a cute boy with cat ears, tho.>>726019095Reddit animal.
>>725971369Okay, asking the real question. Is it f2p or full priced game? Hoping it's the latter.
>>726019010not nearly as dumb as this
>>725971369Yeah. I'm interested.
Arknights was kino at the start but they slowly ruined it, so after seeing the way they treated their love project overall I have zero interest in Endfield and won't be playing. I will say though, it looks pretty nice visually speaking, and I hope it's good for the anons interested in the game.
>>726019214The tail is too fat for me
>>726019276>Arknights was kino at the start but they slowly ruined itRuined it how?
>>726019214
>>726019294Extremely gay post
>>726018895this game have no weapon banner?so the 4 star are just extra without currency gain if you get 4star dupes?
>>726019317
>>726019354It has a weapon banner but the currency isn't your gacha currency. If you've played ZZZ, the closest approximation is the Bangboo banner.

>>726018904Arknights has 1 and 3* operators, though 1*s gimmick of ignoring deployment limit doesn't translate into other games very well
Arknights never popped off like its other gacha games, for good reason. >storyYes yes gachas get memed for story, but Arknights has the WORST story.>worldMORTAL ENGINES>rock aidsLOL>furshit, anthro, half-breed shityeah, no thanks, every other gacha sticks to humans for a reasonmeanwhile in Arknight's it's about fucking half-goats
>>726019276I still think its chuni kino
>>726019639>>726019691Enderfield should've been a galge.
>>726019151Pic unrelated? That's an organ that lets high entia better absorb ether from surrounding air. Don't cut it off or they will die. They were created that way by literal god, get fucked darvinkeks.Ofcource in XB3 it's just there because lol XB1 reference.
>>726020243arknights is pretty consistently in the top 10 gatchas so clearly they are doing something right
>>726020243>meanwhile in Arknight's it's about fucking half-goatsThat's why it's the best.
>>726020343>top 10 (literally who tier list)yeah sure bud
>>726020243>meanwhile in Arknight's it's about fucking half-goats!!!
>>726020243>Arknights never popped off like its other gacha gamesIt's literally near the top of the revenue rankings every month and it's a flash tier game that uses stupid little chibi sprites, I'd say it's doing extremely well for its budget.
>>726007586I guess because Arknights has a strong art direction. Goes for a sort of grungy fantasy military look that leans towards cool overall. Very appealing, was never big on the gameplay but I've gone back to it multiple times just because the visuals tickle my brainHoyo's art direction is weak and their designs are cluttered piles of nothing
>>726020386...you were comparing it to other gachas bro. And im talking about the earnings list not a tier list
>>726020243>Arknights never popped offWhat the fuck am I reading
guncuck melty
>>726020243>rock aids>LOL
>>726020473>>726020408>>726020343From the globalbab's perspective, Arknights is literal who tier cause they're all Mihoyo only players. JP and CN don't count
>>725971369I only play autobattler gachas, I don't tolerate them actually demanding my gameplay input as well.
>>726019960Party mandated china wank.
>>726020421>I guess because Arknights has a strong art direction. This, every faction is clearly defined and there's an overall "unity" with the design philosophy which is pretty damn impressive considering how large the cast is.
>>726019960Okay how about this furry?
>>726020565>Arknights is literal who tier compared to games with 1000 times the development and marketing budgetsSmartest /v/ poster
>>726020575then why "play" them at all?
>>725971369>Oh hey, more arknights, I liked the tower defense>it's actually a hoyoshit clone>nothing about it actually looks like arknights aside from a bunch of characters they literally cloned over to the new "game"No, thank you. What the fuck were they thinking
>>726020623Where does the fur stop and the pubes begin
>arknightscool>gachaI hate job games so much.
>>726007586I find most of AK's males fall into bro tier or guardian figure(older brother, father, etc.) tier. Positively-portrayed male role models... the horror.I enjoyed the fatherhood and family kino we got in Vernal Winds and Reunion. Fia's grandpa desperately trying to improve his relationship w/ her was nice too. And then you have your reliable bros like Elysium, Wakata, Spot, and Toland.
>>726018904It's just Arknights retardation. 3* are operators with lower level cap (no new ones have been added since release), 2* are guaranteed starters who you are supposed to forget about 3 days into playing (also no new ones have been added since release) and 1* are basically meme units. Actual operators start from 4*.
>>726020881>7/10 Binary Occlusion tickets for pulls>10 Effervescent Diodes that can be traded for 1 Binary Occlusion>Stimulant Neuron for levelling up gear>Hemopathy Neuron for levelling up armor>Breath of the Wild flowers>Enemy materials>Event crystals>Event crystal premium trade in currency>Gold>EXP>weapon exp>base exp>affection points with the girls>gift collectibles to raise affection>keys to unlock endgame temporary modes>450 Blue cubes that let you do things per week/dayMake it endfield
>>726007586Mihoyo males are pretty transparently made for homos and women to lust over, that's probably why
>>725976461Except most of these Chinese games, Arknights especially have no coherent idea of what they want to be or appeal to beyond rolling for pretty characters. Even right now, is anybody actually interested in the base building aspects of this game? Or you have WuWa with giant maps that you complete in a hour with centralized loot zones, or ZZZ which is perpetually relaunching itself after TV failed, all of which pad content with pointless minigames entirety disconnected from the gameplay.That's a far cry from Death Stranding or Ninja Gaiden or Xenoblade which can drive appeal straight up through either the stories or experience like they present without relying on attractive characters. He'll, I'm playing through Ciel Nosurge, and despite 10x less budget the story is far more interesting than your high budget gacha games.
>>726019691>>726019639Endfield should have been sexier with models of this quality...
I think it looks decent and I plan to build ziplines everywhere for the hell of it.
>>725990840Nobody talks about Ex Astiris in the same way we might talk about Infinity Blade
>>726021324>3* (no new ones have been added since release)Catapult, Midnight, Popukar and Spot don't exist then? I'll give you the 5 reserve ops as not counting.
>>726022046
>>726021796You’re correct, and the problem comes down to Chinese people being unable to create original things. Their social ideology is that numbers can beat all, that a populace with 5000 more talented people to pull from will make up for the gap that only 250 extremely talented people could do. But the analogy is the 300 Spartans vs the Persian Army. Chinese gamedev has no conceptualisation of systems, because the gacha games are made to invalidate that through grinding and payment.
>>726022554
>>726022598the spartans were pretty shit soldiers irl tho.
>>725971369I wanna play it and I've been looking forward to it for over a year now, but at the same time. I cannot be bothered to watch or read any resources about the game. It's like I just can't motivate myself to care properly, and I definitely should. So despite all this, I just want to play the game and learn everything myself, instead of spending dozens of hours gaining foresight. But at the same time, I know that I should definitely be doing that because once the game is out, every single brown gacha creator and their 10 siblings are going to latch themselves onto it polluting the information pool with copy pasted useless junk that doesn't help anyone at all, meaning that finding information will become even fucking harderI'm also worried about the character count so far, isn't it a bit high? I dislike gacha games that have a ginormous roster of available units, I prefer quality over quantity
>>726024943>I'm also worried about the character count so far, isn't it a bit high? I dislike gacha games that have a ginormous roster of available units, I prefer quality over quantityIts cause the character gacha isn't shitted up with random w-engines, but low rarity characters like in Arknights.>every single brown gacha creator and their 10 siblings are going to latch themselves onto it polluting the information pool with copy pasted useless junk that doesn't help anyone at all, meaning that finding information will become even fucking harderJust follow anyone who was already an Arknights content creator, rather than the parasites jumping onto the next big release. Or quality ZZZ creators (Jstern?), I don't know I quit ZZZ ages ago
>>726025131>Jstern
>>726025282I don't know, I quit after Trigger released
>>725976681>all these new skintight black techwear slutsYESSSSSSSSSSS
>>726025445Its part of the Endfield uniform?
>>726026001All the 4* wearing it are new characters.>Its part of the Endfield uniformYou know what that means? we are getting MOAR
>>725975443its a shame its a gacha game and is not like duet night abyss, i dont give a shit about it otherwise the gacha system is so bad in this game you will never get characters as a f2p
>>726026258>>726026001Cute generic operators!
>>726021796I disagree, consider the following (inb4 >plebbit)/r/arknights/comments/1m2zl72/is_interview_translation_in_progress/
>>725980820>>725980989I dunno, most of thr good looking 3D jap anime styled games aren't gachaslop ao I've never felt like that before
She's retarded
>>726026383>f2p characters that look better than 6*sare they going to be as powerful as Amber?
only good thing about this game is the character models so far, the combat is mediocre so far, the world exploration is boring with no climbing, factorio is the main side mode, there are small regions not real open world, i honestly dont get the appeal it doesnt beat anything in what its trying to do again only in character models but that will get boring very quickly
>>726026624>>726026631Low rarity characters are useful and have their place in Arknights, but it has the benefit of being a strategy game. The devs will probs try do the same thing in Endfield with the inevitable porting of the Arknights roguelike (their most successful game-mode)
>>726003485won't match dyson sphere program
Once Endfield releases, I'm going to become like one of those HI3 uncles after HSR happened...
>>726026001>>726026258>>726026383Are there any cute Arknights boys?
>>726026624>Chinese humour
>>725981846>setting goes from generic fantasy/scifi into hard chinese cultivation nonsense>but without the sociopathy or bloodshed that makes the novels barely tolerable>and the culture of it just feels like a way to plug the chinese tourism industry in rather than someone passionately inserting their heritage inAt least the character designs from there tend to be sex.
>>726027051>boyThere's this little boy. God I hope Endfield males aren't the sort of faggots you get in Mihoyo games
Is the sign up window still open for the beta
>>725981846The whole idea of having separate real world state/culture themed regions is extremely stale.They had an original post-apoc cyberpunk-ish setting to work with, and they squandered it by falling back onto the tried and true Genshin formula. As well as the gameplay and story changes since launch, catering to the lowest common denominator.
>>725993349>>725974276factory's been downgraded, you can just one button steal someone's setup.
not if it will have the same shit writing that AK does
>>725984953>>725975708>>726018605Everyone's a clone so they can sell you everyone again with a different personality and no attachement to Dokutah
>>725981098The story will be as bad as GFL2's and it'll go down the same path.
why the hell does every fucking chinese or korean game thread devolve into seething about Japan?I literally don't give a shit about your dumbass propaganda wars and pitting-countries-against-eachother-as-sports faggotrygo be insecure somewhere other than threads about video games
>>726027618Yes for 1 more day, you're not getting in though the chances are slim
>>726027903Can't hurt to try
>>726027001With good reason no? The HI3rd uncles were right.Who wants to read a happy-go-lucky Arknights with sovlless copies of your favourite characters gooning around the new MC.
>>726028193I'm still going to play Endfield and hopefully enjoy it, pretty open minded.
>>726026740Most people have no idea why this game is being made in its current form, other than a stupid attempt at being a genshin killer.
This seems to be a tread. For some reason gachafags addicted to ancient flash tier gachas seem to hate it when their franchise gets a real game. Or at least an improved 3D gacha. Is that because the plaeyrbase is mostly SEA phonefags?
>>726027884>why are hamburger discussion threads always have america mentioned?
>>726027191>shortsDamn. I wanted the skintight techwear too.
>>726028627
>>726026761>Low rarity characters are useful and have their place in Arknightslmaonot with the powercreep in the recent years, no>b-but Ethan! b-but Cuora! Gravel! Contrail! Specter! Ptilopsis!all easily replacable by 6* who can do mostly the same while also having several times more damage or other utility; only Ethan has something others don't (yet)the truth is once you have a wide roster of 6*, there's zero objective reason to use lower rarities. all the utlity you think is useful can be replaced by bruteforcing with damage from Walter, Logos, Fagodia, Młynar and others. waifufagging isn't objective, if you have to ask
>>725971369>>725974550I've seen this shit before
>>726028481trying to make a mass appeal arknights game. Taking away everything people loved about Arknights which is the funny part.
Are all charecters, furys in endfield ?
>>726028825Aren't you forgetting someone
Are there any other characters in Arknights as hot as Surtr?
>>726030147Virtuosa is hotter
>>726028880>wow, this game really reminds me of Chicken Run 2!
>>726028825Someone here doesn't play IS
>>725975443shame it's the only good thing about cn anime games most of the time
>>725975443Japanese devs get raped by Nintendo patents, they literally can't do anything
>>725971369No. I see EF trying to be genshin killer (like wuwa) like how halo 5 attempting to be a cod-killer or the halo killers of the past. Most of the stuff I've seen so far indicates that HG has no idea what they're doing (as AK vet, this was always the case)
>>726033649its more xenoblade than genshin
>>726034062The factorio slop and the game giving you treasure chests hints showed that HG weren't able to make a open world with exploration like genshin.
>>726034282thats fine by me, I like factorio/satisfactory
Why are people here seething about the game?
>>726035328Most of the seething are done by AK schizos who are stuck in 2019 and they still suck up to HG.
>>726035328seethe? Seems mostly peaceful
>>726035628Seething, but mostly peaceful, threads.
I always thought Shamare looked dumb in Arknights. Everyone else is dressed up for a mission and she looks like she's about to go to bed instead. No stupid outfits that don't fit what operators are doing, please (skins are fine since they're not canon).
having looked at the dev video for the factory stuff, its not quite factorio but its a bit more complex than I thought they would do. Guess I will have to see when/if they do an open beta
>>726035328If you are an arknights player, you're probably feeling pretty betrayed by HG making a genshin clone instead of pumping all that money into arknights which is the game you've been playing for the past five or six years.I am not one of those people and I am hyped for endfield.
>>725971369If they let me play it instead of doing all these lame fucking closed betas I'd be interested yeah
>>726038170>If you are an arknights player, you're probably feeling pretty betrayed by HG making a genshin clone instead of pumping all that money into arknights which is the game you've been playing for the past five or six years.Why would I be feeling betrayed? There's a limit to what you can actually do with AK by this point, no matter how much money you pump into it.
>>726019691>>726026383What's with the thin tiny tail? For shame.
>>726038170I love the tower defense game, but a new genre to spice it up is would be a fun change of pace
>>726019827>She doesn't really look like the ones from the original gameShe does look like one, Nachzehrers surprisingly look rather normal under their usual garb, pic related is one too from the original game.
>>726038862She looks like she eats men's cocks
>>726038954She also eats what's attached to that cock.
>>726034282>game always had small disjoint zones>clueless retard: it's trying to be open world like genshin
>>726038170They should just be happy they're not Grub players.
>>725976681wait, you can now zoom in that close to characters? please tell me this is real
>>726038170If you solely played AK, then yeah, but EF more or less confirmed that HG was chasing after genshin for years to people that quit. Having started genshin, it's fucking funny that EF copied Liyue/Luofu, but it'll never have the charm of it.
>>725971369Yes but it’s probably not coming out until middle of next year I signed up for the beta testing on ps5
>>725981846It's because it absolutely has to be safe. The story can't be too out there and can't imply anything negative about China and also has to at least subtly hype up Chinese culture as being amazing and the best. With other nation inspirations they can do those things without worry.
>>725971369>GachaYes
>>725981846>>726040295AK's China slop is so pretentious.
>>726038862This is Mori Calliope. Or Rappa.
I think they laid it on too thick by calling an administrator an endministrator instead.
>>725976681snake cake
>>725971369I have genshin copies fatigue.
>>726028825the main point is that good low rarity units are great for noobs
>>725971369of coursei love tower girls
>>726040445>Endfield Industries™ administrator>endministrator
>>726039874>copied Liyue/Luofu, but it'll never have the charm of it.Jesus christ first time I've seen chinksloptown and charm in the same sentence
how difficult is rerolling?
>>726041053There was a interview with Nasu and he said he liked Liyue. So that's why Lowlight wants his chinaslop.
I thought Arknights was like a strateg game, you dropped units down and defended a thing.This looks more genshin like.
>>726042156it's funny how it's more like wuwa rather than genshin. Stuff like the dodge is more complex lol.
>>726042384I actually forgot how simple genshin is. Been a while since I played
>>725975443That's her Great grand daughter, so that means one of (you) got with her.
