are you excited for endfield?
>>730680165Smells like gacha
I like AK, but I'm cautious about that game.Looks okay, I'll see.Where's NotHoshiguma?
yes
>>730680165Transfield?
>>730680165>make goon game>use cheap motion captured animations acted by shrimpy asian men to portray your goondolls
No. I'm aware of its existence and i hope it will be at least interesting. Currently killing time in ptn and its okay.
>another gacha slop
How long does it take as f2p to save enough to guarantee a character?
>>730680165>DNA in October>WWM in November>Wuwa3 in December>Endfield in January>HSR4 in February>NTE in MarchPlaying cGAAS has become a full blown full time hobby. Thank you, comrade Xi
>>730680561>>730680431>implyingDo you have a single whiff of proof
>>730680165not on steam no fucks given
>>730681126When did PC gaymers become so tech illiterate that they can't download a game from its official website
>>730680165Yes I will play it and doomies will seethe and cope
>>730681190I'm more worried that zoomers play hentai and gacha games in the open in their steam accounts. Society without shame won't produce anything worthwhile.
>>730680165I don't play gooner gamer, and I also don't play korean/chinese games.
>>730681395>I let politics decide what games I playGood goy, here's a game made by John Smith the red blooded American (born Schlomo Goldstein)
>>730680165This one is an actual gacha right? I have no interest then. WWM is where it's at. Cosmetic only gacha is the future.
>>730681016dna sucked sadly>HSR 4.0who fucking cares
>>730680165What the fuck is this about? A sequel to a game the tranny community had claimed ages ago?
Reminder that we love gscha here
>>730680165excited doesn't capture it. waiting on my slobber-covered gacha-junkie hands and knees and kissing the cyberspace data upon which every Endfield update has tread upon. that's more like it.
>>730683205Being a gacha enjoyer is a blessing.
>>730680824not enough to pull it on banner
>>730683205it's sincerely difficult to understand why anyone doesn't. a high budget constantly update game which can easily be played entirely for free if you're a destitute poorfag who can't even afford to toss them a Monthly Sub Bone. And, most importantly, equal fair chance to obtain all the same power as people who prop up the game by spending tons of money consistently. not liking gacha is basically not liking good things.
>>730683627Yvonne sex
>>730680165Nope. Not goon enough for me. If it was maybe 25% more goon then I'd pick it up. Preferably 30%-40%
>>730683913i mean, one of the characters fistpumps and encourages you to goon while you're gawking her body, it's definitely not anti goon
>>730680165Remove the tails and I'll give it a try
I wish it wasn't gacha. Would have loved a Relink style game in the Arknights universe
>>730680824like just under one guarantee per patch if it gives out similar pull income to comparable games
>>730682334DNA was fun. Yeah it'll EOS EOTY, but I'll make sure to clear all the content before it diesHSR3 was retarded but 4 looks kinda cool, it's a big Tokyo style city, you can almost mistake it for NTE. I'll give it a try, I'm only 1 patch behind
>>730681326>in the openA non-problem, these days.
>>730684825>would've loved a [gacha] style game in a [gacha] universe if it wasn't gachayou seem confused
I loved Arknights. If Endfield can reach even 10% of the peaks that game reached with this new level of fidelity, it'll be a huge success in my eyes.Also I play Orc Massage on my main account and don't hide it and I don't see the big deal.
>>730685040You are confused, Relink is not a gacha. It's a full game with a beginning and an end, with no live service elements and no gambling for characters.
>>730680165>GachaFuck no, have some standards.
>>730685518Have some self control and stop being so scared of gambling and alcohol. Stop acting like a woman, you'll never be one

>>730680165No Mimi, no buy. It's simple as.
>>730685975Same, I'm not buying this, I'm downloading it for free instead, in protest
>>730680165Why would I be excited for a gacha skinnerbox?
>>730684969from dailies alone it's less than genshin monthly if that says anything
>>730680165A little bit, hopefully the factory part isn't braindead but it can't be too hard so normies play.
I plan on being f2p (monthly card + battlepass), I hope I can still get at least one surtr and yvonne copy.
>>730680165>Are you excited for more coombaitGo get laid, incel.
>>730684323Yeah I get that. But for me. The issue is that gacha needs to have a certain goon factor before I bother playing it. If this was just a regular game I wouldn't need the extra goonability. But gacha/live service needs to step it up a bit.
>>730684998OH NONONO HE DOESN'T KNOW
>>730680165I've just watched some gameplay videos. It's chink slop number #500, always the same gameplay and open world, with probably terrible writing too (like the original Arknights).
>>730684825If the game flops spectacularly, it could be released as an offline game like Octopath 0
It releases on my birthday!I will play it and save rolls for the eventual not-Reed clone, I love Reed! Reed is my waifu!
>>730680165I might have cared to try this if it didn't have the worst gacha in it's category. At least Blue Archive is courageous enough to give you fanservice and your money supports that. What does your money support in Arknights? More chinese cat and dog torture?
>>730687684you can build bases and have to connect everything to electric energy, can use other players constructions, and place build ziplines all around the map like on DS, have TD segments and have to build factories in the most optimal way, what gacha have this? I never played AK but having all character on the field at same time is not something I saw in a gacha before
>HG>AKoh boy, can't wait for terrible/pretentious writing and narrative again; this time with shitty hoyokuro gameplay instead of based tower defense
>>730687684Game is not even open world?
This will be your 1st anniversary limited character. Say something nice about her!
>>730690312don't other gacha have homes you can build?
>>730690829I think that only genshin have that, but you don't need to interact with it, here you have to build it and make it produce enough electricity to power the game other areas
>9 daystime machine when
>>730690095happy early birthday anonmy birthday Feb 5 so I’m graciously accepting Endfield as an early birthday present
>>730685368even if some die hard Arknights don’t love the gameplay the way they loved Arknights and refuse to like new things, there’s no reason why the story and presentation wouldn’t have the same level of passion as Arknights. >Orc Massagea gentleman commanding of respect.
As someone who's never played AK before it's hard for me to say that I'm exited but I'm definitely open minded so I'll give it a go.
>>730692491honestly you’re better off not having played AK. just go into it blind, which is actually the intended experience as the MC with a wiped memory
>>730690768Shes dead, Jim
Honestly, no idea. I spend most of my day on Arknights, got every operator, even spend some money on it, but I'm not sure if I'll like this one
Early reviews make the game sound like Wuwa 1.0 but a bit better. I don’t think there’s ever been a stellar 1.0 release of a gacha game though, except maybe Genshin (which goes to shit immediately after) so whatever.
>>730687695LMAO it's going to make billions. China is so fucking hyped for this.
>>730680165>that retarded anime faceCalArts, Japan
the aesthetic and music alone will carry this game to the realm of greatness even if the gameplay proves to be mediocre-to-shit on the long termbut the gameplay looks fine to me, like a halfway point between action and turn-based type mechanics
>>730680165Imagine playing shartfield, no lmao I'll only play the normal Arknights 3Dslop sucks
>>730693085I hope I have the option to play on the China server despite being in America. I want to be among peers who have the good taste for this game.
I'll think about it when they release the angel and the lion
>>730686995Genshin is already one of the stingiest. At least in considering common gacha, and not stupid shit like the DBZ gachas that are stingy and have abysmal rates. That does not sound very enticing.
>>730686995>>730693509there’s no point in talking about currency til the stream on Friday, they’ll probably give some frame of reference for how they’ve finally adjusted all the numbers there
I just want the xenoblade 4 niggers in the field experience, I didn't ask for the factorio autism or the convoluted gacha mechanic
>>730693728>convulated gachaif want character, pullif no want character, no pullzug zug
>>730693828what if sort of want character but not enough to spend 120 rolls??
>>730693480they’ll eventually run the full gambit of AK clones presumably and guaranteed on all the well liked/popular ones
>>730694045Why would you assume thatGenshin isn't full of HI3 expies, Wuwa isn't full of PGR reps
>>730694041grug no say sort of want, grug say wantsort of want not want, when grug want grug know grug wantwhen grug want, grug pull
>>730680165not sure if I'm gonna play it regularly as I have a lot in my plate already, but I will install it and park this lizard in a rainy spot for water collecting
>>730680165Depends what rerolling looks like.
>>730693480i dont know what they were thinking, i always wanted an arknights 2(in 3d) so i could see my favorite characters in higher detail, and when they finally show arknights2 its ALL original cast....... why....?
>>730692967Genshin 1.x events sucked balls and there was only 1 map expansion in all of 1.x. We just didn't know what to expect back thenWWM 1.x is going pretty well so far though
>>730694104because they are clones of Arknights characters, literally, canonically. and because there are already like 8 characters in the opening cast which are Arknights clones.
>>730685040>Storytelling driven by attractively designed characters with strong personality>Bogged down by time-wasting grinds, filler and tedious gameplayLiterally every good gacha game would be improved drastically if they weren't gacha games.
S I Z A R DLEX
>>730692586Is it the same MC but with amnesia or a new MC?
I'm interested in it for the visuals, simple inclusion of full team gameplay, factorio base building and hopefully decent combat. The gacha is a bit worrying especially since people have been slamming it since the first testing phase.>>730693650The way it sounds right now is that they'll just plan for a monthly sub to fill out the guaranteed gaps. That's probably how they'll do it since as generous as Arknights felt, you really only got everything you wanted from having the monthly. Which was a fair trade if you enjoyed the game enough and put values based on time spent playing. The only shit part is that this further highlights the issues with these 3D action adventure gacha. They always have a small starting cast which makes new banners feel like they take way too long to come out, but then f2p users can't afford the new characters anyway despite how long the banner cycles end up being. Which kills a lot of interest. If Genshin wasn't the "only game" like that around its time, with that much hype, it would have lost tons of its playerbase and revenue much faster. Look at GFL2. Dragged in the mud by controversy in China which nuked its playerbase. Global comes out but people find out there's more controversy on the horizon. They mismanage everything and start pandering to whale bait v6 stuff, and the only reason why you'd get a character that high is for funsmoke, so basically useless. Every new thing they added reminded people that all the game really is is a vehicle to tell a worse story than GFL1 and Bakery. You can make pity every patch but you can't make guarantees every patch in a system that practically begs you to v6 instead of collecting. Between that and more money siphoning you just kill your playerbase. I pray the stream showcases that the devs are listening, but given how GFL1 -> 2 went, I'm a little skeptical that Endfield will be managed properly.
>>730694172nah that's annoyingthat's he problem with this system, you have to commit 120 to every character you pull for. Maybe you won't need the 120 but you sure do need to have the 120 ready and you can't quit halfway into rollingMeanwhile in genshin/wuwa/zzz/hsr you can just drop a 20 into a character you kind of like. If you get it you get it, if you don't you don't. No need to even think about it
>>730694348>story is driven by cute sexy characters>game has infinite contentOnly /v/ would spin those things as a negative, those are literally the reasons why I play gachas
Starting the timer on how long it takes them to remove factories due to demand.
>>730694423Canon NTR with the lizard man btw
>>730694480you need context of the AK universe to understand what the MC is so don’t worry about it, you’ll see what it’s about soon enough. but no it is (presumably) not the Doctor from AK, at least not physically
So what's the lore reason for them having Arknight clones?
>>730694604Swerved completely around any of the negatives I actually mentioned like a true gambling addict
>>730694512grug caveman and even grug able to self governanon lesser than gruggrug laugh
>>730694607Is the factory stuff bad? Wouldn't people just come up with meta templates for whatever resources you need or whatever the fuck they do? That would already ease a lot of people's issues unless you have to constantly log in to claim or some shit.
>>730694692Those are the only 2 things you mentioned retard. Except you framed infinite content as a negative and called it tedious. The game isn't even fucking out yet, we don't know if the content is tedious, we just know there's a lot of it
So is this one of those gacha where the non 5* units are also really good or nah
>>730694740grug wouldn't have the rolls saved up for the meta character because he's a fucking retard, drop the larpthis system forces you to calculate if the character is worth 120 rolls or not before touching the gachaas a result I roll less and also have less fun doing it, and the dev makes less money off of me. I don't see who benefits from this, it's a retarded choice
>>730694740grub no think grug smartme grub smartdev power creep first gamedev power creep this gamegrub foresee it for grub smartkill enemy need new power creepgrub know me hold shiny rock many moonsgrug give up grug get cuckedjamal take grug strong pretty ladygrub laugh
