>literal pachinko machines for sex starved asians who can't access porn>all gachafags do in their threads is talk about how they want to fuck the girls>same thread topics spammed over and over like a broken record>singlehandedly killed so many good generals on /vg/>"gameplay" is just glorified chores to trick you into developing a parasocial relationship with PNGs that you have to gamble for>seriously go click on any gacha thread in /vg/ it's pure cancer>the only requirement to win is swiping your credit card like a good paypiggieI think we can ALL agree that gacha has no place on this board.
>>731094671some of the games can be legitimately fun regardless of the gatcha and the weird gooners, the real issue is the mentally ill people who are in the /vg/ threads, i don't know what is wrong with those people.
>>731094671gacha companies pay the mods to be allowed to advertise here
>>731095503The problem is that gacha is designed to incorporate microtransations into gameplay from the ground up. If it was just cosmetic I could just look away and it'll be fine, but instead all the powerful shit are behind an RNG slot machine that's been perfectly calibrated to keep you on the edge. It's fucking evil and I want this cancerous shit to die.Most egregious example is Bombergirl. It has skills locked behind gacha. You have to roll for both character AND skill separately.
>>731096168depends heavily on the game but unless you care about repeating challenges that gives some extra rolls for currency i find gatcha games less predatory to play f2p than things like fortnite.paying merely gives you more chances to get the premium stuff and the actual content that matters doesn't require the premium characters to experience.from what i have seen is hoyoverse games and the companies who copy hoyoverse's homework seem to make the better ones vs the actual PNG collector shit.
>>731096168And yet you have games like Where Winds Meet where the only gacha is cosmetics and /v/ still hates itAlso gacha generals are unironically some of the most fun threads out there as they carry the old spirit of /v/ being /b/ but with light vidya themes.
>>731096524never played that one but i saw people customizing their characters like people used to do in Oblivion, literally saw Spongebob somehow.
>>731096524I've never heard of it, is it good?
>>731096716Psuedo mmo with sekiro style combat, genshin style open world that has a ton of mini games and side activities and the game mode is split between solo/optional coop and online mode where you just interact in social activities with other people like guild stuff and roleplaying. It's assassin's creed/witcher 3 but in china
>>731096524>the only gacha is cosmetics and /v/ still hates itgacha has already solidified itself as always 100% shit so even if it's only cosmetics at this point, doesn't matter>mobile>gachainstant trash
>>731096993interesting, i'll check it out
>>731097031Brain dead post by a poster who has bought AAA games after 2015
it is funny how Genshin is turning into an everything game, it has a roblox mode and a card game inside the main game itself.and for shit posting purposes you can bring your roblox avatar into the main game.
>>731094671Is this a stealth Class of '09 thread?>>731097692That sounds messy. Is it like Fortnite where these game modes have separate menus or is it integrated into the game world?
>>731097978the roblox mode is in a separate menu and you teleport into a lobby with others and then pick user created stages from there.the card game is inside a building in Mondstadt but you can play against specific npcs around the game world if you wish.
>>731097978i found an old video from when the roblox mode was first revealed, it took a few patch cycles for the user created content to actually get decent but it is fairly decent stuff now.they just added "classic mode" for the user created content so you can bring in your characters from the main game and use them too if you wish, this means there are already training dummy stages that calculate your dps pretty much instantly.
>>731098391huhthat's actually pretty coolstill wouldn't pick up a gacha game for it
Mods have no backbone. All they needed to do was ban all mobileshit from /vg/ and have /vmg/ as a containment board for the containment board. You don't need /vrpg/ or /vm/ if /vg/ threads don't need to be bumped every 3 hours to avoid getting canned by some new gachashit popping up every 2 weeks
>>731099150that is reasonable, but if you ever have a dry spell for new games the roblox mode is unlocked extremely early on, then you can ignore the main game if you wish, if i recall it unlocks once you get to the first city and go to jean's office for the first time.
>>731094671>Why isn't gacha garbage quarantined to /vmg/?The same reasons most things aren't quarantined to other boards"Does this mean discussion of mobile games is banned on other video game boards? No! /vmg/ is just a separate board specifically focused on mobile games where discussions about your favorite games can thrive." - that's a direct quote from the /vmg/ stickyThey did this for /vmg/, /vrpg/ and /vst/ as well/vp/ was like that too when it was originally made to stop all the pokemon threads except it has the "cultural phenomenon" protection of the mods so it never went awayNone of that really matters when the mods try to force certain games off the board/specific board(s) they belong to though even if they're well within the rulesReoccurring threads happen enough for them to qualify for /vg/ but only specific games get forced there because specific mods don't like them
>>731099550holy fuck this series has so many good tummy sluts
>>731099550>>731101468oops, I was meant to reply to OP
>>731097692>>731097553Shit like this is why its hard to buy AAA games for 70 dollars in current year. Before you say muh finishee games, most games nowadays are psuedo online games anyway. You pay 70 bucks then mtx and dlc. Chances are you are not gonna replay them once you do beat them and they just rot in your steam library.
>>731094671Why the fuck would you care for making a quality community when you can instead just make a massive garbage pile that attracts more engagement and thus more money?
>>731101863trvkeI just play old shit on my Steam Deck and it's better than playing new shit on PC
