Who will you be rolling for during Magia Exedras anniversary
>>733788570Gacha games are brain poison so none.I do want to watch Rebellion again tho.
>>733788752I'll never understand why people are so against gachaThey are just digital trading cards that you collect to push the VN narrative further.
>>733789061>They are just digital trading cards that you collect to push the VN narrative further.I actually think this is why I prefer the "unapologetic" gachas like Dokkan, the horse one, and autobattlers compared to Hoyoverse stuff that tries to mask its intention with """good gameplay""" or pretending to be a """real game"""It's one thing to use gacha to fund what amounts to an ongoing Visual Novel with a team builder in between chapters. It's another to try and reel people in by pretending to be something competent with a gacha system under the hood
>>733789061Why the fuck would I play a VN with a structure that holds it back? Are you dumb?
>>733789061because 99% of the game is the RNG to get a jpeg of your waifuThe """"VN""" is trash that has no meaningful choices, and the gameplay is autoplay garbage
>>733789061>EOS>you cannot read the VN portion of the game anymore>the portion that gets referenced in future works/games/movies of the franchiseAs a new Meguca fan, I'll never not be salty about being unable to play Magia RecordAnd no, watching YouTube doesn't count
>>733789601>>733789665The gacha is how it's able to consistently fund monthly main chapters and bi-weekly events, which is a perfectly reasonable tradeoff since you can read all the main content with a horrible team
>>733789920you shouldn't care about it anyway since it sucks
>>733790047or they could just make a fucking JRPG
>>733789920Record gets an abridged adaptation right in Exedras main story which is nice. Honestly it's paced better than the original
>>733789665>>733790253Nobody actually thinks this
>>733788570the only thing ill be rolling is doobies
>>733790375Yes they do, it's why the most popular gacha now are 3D open world games with button-spam combat
gacha only makes sense for the companies who try to maximize profits in the marketas an adult who is somewhat aware of the psychology behind it voluntarily entering that space myself as the sucker would be slightly insane
>>733790375I hated Record Arc 1 and Scene Zero but the rest has been good. Wraith Arc actually really impressed me
>>733788570I just rolled for Kyocake so I'm good for now unless they release another Kyoko.
>>733788570I sounded like a cod zombie when I saw the thumbnail. Lmfao
>>733789920Every gacha should do what they did with YuYuYui
>>733790047The gacha is also how the story needs to perpetually drag itself along like a zombie corpse, shoehorning in new characters ad nauseum, never actually ending because if it did then they couldn't keep the attached gacha going. It is detrimental to actual storytelling and the best response to this will be "but isn't that all perpetual live service games?"Yes! Fuck them too. The best part about gacha is retards sinking time and money into paying art teams to make free sexy women for me and others who don't engage with it but reap the benefits.
>>733788570whore
>>733791783Exedra notoriously does not do this due to being a collection of tangentially related short stories. The pacing doesn't need to be anything but what the story necessitatesIt's what makes it one of the best gacha narratives I've read
>>733792226The pacing of releases must accommodate perpetual gacha monetization, which is ultimately harmful to the overarching narrative in the long run if the stories are even tangentially related. If you want to tell me that Exedra strikes the best compromise with the inherently harmful gacha monetary structure then I'll cede with no issue that some game must be the best and I'll also say without issue that a game can be good while having a flawed monetization structure that still inhibits it.But pretending that forcing releases of even tangentially related content to match the needs of gacha monetization is not harmful is being disingenuous or delusional, take your pick.
