Gambling in general is a pandemic that not enough people are talking about. It's always been around in some form but it really feels like in the last decade or so it's ratcheted up to another level. The amount of "skill game" parlors springing up in small towns across America over the last several years is fucking eerie. It's been normalized for kids for a few generations now, pokemon cards kinda flew in under the radar and now we're onto lootboxes and CS:GO skins and keys and all that shit. Day trading has captured the minds of adults going all-in on gamestop and meme stocks. Sports betting has exploded over the past several years to the point where there's concerns over NBA players throwing because they've also got money riding on the outcome. And then you've got Gacha which is an unholy union of gambling addicts and porn addicts.
There's a thread up making fun of the "nanny state" NY for trying to curb this but honestly if it's not addressed sooner it's going to continue to get worse. FUCK gambling and FUCK gacha, do not pay real money for anime waifus it is a trap!

Make games with good aesthetics, a mix of cute and sexy female characters, and straightforward gameplay mechanics that you can endlessly grind to optimize. Mysteriously, AAA games don't know how to do any of this.

We don't, you're on the outside

The only gacha I pay for, I spend less than $10 a year. And I have everything.
Would never play one where actual gambling for real money is a serious part of what you'll be doing.

The only thing worse arguably are sports ball gaymers, they play gacha games that have no pity system, reset yearly, and are full priced games that cater to nignogs.

i play Genshin Impact because i find the gameplay itself fun and like that the whole game is available to you even if you spend nothing.

there is no upper limit to spending however and while you can force a 5 star to appear for $20 or less it can easily cost $150-200 just for a failed coinflip if you buy currency in the most expensive way possible, not great but i understand it as it lets the whales make up for the f2p players.

overall i find it a good filler game between traditional game releases but the community has a really bad coomer and schizo problem for sure.

>>733856850
If you like thoughful stories like black souls and lobo corp I rec Chrono Ark too. Not as deep but very good gameplay with solid lore. Deadlock is pretty good right now too, doing these 6 hero updates with the voting system keeps the game fresh. They added a casual aram style mode too for me to fuck around in rather than having to sweat in their perma ranked bullshit.
>>
>>733855038
Make good, fun, replayable games with cute girl. Have an ongoing stream of content updates, and make them cost no more than $20 max. It's not rocket science.

Ironically Genshin's latest characters powercreep scaling is worse imo, Star Rail rightfully gets a lot of flack for it but there's a decent range of pretty good to strong endgame team archetypes. Genshin having solid budget options and actual useful 4 stars helps too. Can't say much in defense of ZZZ since I don't play that one.

>>733857103
I'm not an assfaggots guy and I'm a little jaded from TF2/CS2 getting neglected for Valve's new hero shooter but I'll check out Chrono Ark, thanks.

>>733855038
I don't know if gacha games are even that bad considering the majority of stuff in the industry.
Cute girls, simple fun gameplay, stuff to talk about with other players, lots of porn, and constant updates. Big majority of fanbase is also into lewd stuff or at least very okay with it.
Honestly, why does gacha get so much hate compared to majority of shit the vidya industry has, like paid games having all kind of mtx slop and as one anon said, fucking sportsball slop which is $60-80 and has lootboxes.
I have only played bit of that one FF pixel gacha game that shut down long time ago, tried FEH, and also tried ZZZ. ZZZ was most fun because Rina has pretty maid dress but otherwise the game was so slooooooooooow with the story and I don't have energy to grind through it but also want to read everything. Dunno if other gachas are better tho.
But like even ZZZ isn't too bad mindless fun like other popular live service games but has cute and sexo girls.

Small off-topic, but is /v/ becoming more puritan and anti-porn recently? Feels like fuckton of anons complain about any lewd-sih stuff when before people would happily take a nsfw or ecchi thread over constant twitter screenshot stuff or general idpol shitflinging.
>>
>>733857359
porn is (((jewish))) but the other two options are just as bad
>>
>>733857359
It's less about purity and more about porn exhaustion. I'm big on gacha games and what they offer in terms of community/gameplay but a lot of times here threads get flooded with porn. Some threads are way worse about it than others and it gets tiresome.
>>
>>733855038
You're not willing to pay more than they pay for gacha for something else in order to draw money-seeking companies elsewhere, so you simply cannot fix anything.
>>
>>733857316
the issue with genshin lately is more gimmicky shit more than the powercreep (but is still a bad sign, at least 1.0 characters got a marginal buff)

do you have Lunar? no? get fucked these enemies have twice (or more) hp now and heal

Stygian Onslaight unironically wanted two out of three Lunar teams when it is a premium only thing.

at least nightsoul bullshit you could brute force with rapid hits.

hell the Geo Horse at the end of the most recent Imaginarium Theater was a big fuck you if you didn't get Zibai or had Navia and didn't get screwed over by RNG before then.


remove the gimmicky elemental or reaction shields and most of these problems would go away.

Your opinion, I don't mind. It's the best roguelike deck builder I've ever played as a "whole". Slay the spire is the best mechanically, but Chrono ark mixes the idea of a JRPG party and deck building with really good mechanics relics maps etc. The story is fantastic, and full of interesting twists. The only gripe anyone who likes the genre would have is the extremely long(skippable) cutscenes between runs. The game sold so well they're already doing their second project which is a direct continuation of the true ending which is extremely based.

>every game and their mothers already had battle passes because of them ffs and i sure as hell dont want dailies and gacha in my paid game
If you really want to be fair about it anon, Dota 2 and Forenite are what created and popularized battle passes.
Which now all games yes even paid games if they focus on multiplayer feature.
Dailies came from mobile slop like candy crush and clash of kangs but if you wanted to go even further you'd blame MMO's like wow.
if you want to hold gacha accountable for something, hold them for randomizing character acquisition which no paid game has done yet aside from xenoblade 2.
Even then it's basically just loot boxes which the biggest games formerly overwatch, currently most sportsfag games do anyway.
even if genshin never existed you'd still be fucked.

>>733857513
>porn is (((jewish)))
Oh.
So it's that kind of people. Ironic we went from "SJWs are trying to take away our porn!" to "Porn is a jewish psyop!"
Bleh, hard to take this shit seriously.

>>733857524
Fair enough. I'm just kinda okay with sexo stuff and have been for a looooong time so Idc if some people are lewdposting. Tho if you wanna genuinely talk about vidya I guess it gets annoying.
>>
>>733858270
Let's not forget that the gacha model of paying to do gambling you don't really need has directly replaced worse models of MTX. Back in the day there were plenty of "free" games where you basically ran out of game to play unless you started paying regularly because they just ran on timers you could pay to skip and the timers just kept scaling up. Or how about real premium currencies that gated half the items in the game despite you having absolutely no income of this currency aside from paying?
Imagine if the encroaching standard was 72 hour waits on basic gameplay actions you had to pay real money to skip and not optional gambling. Absolute nightmare.

they are monopolizing the porn market by making their own while also banning eastern drawn porn. The best part is they get caught running real rape on their videos while they complain about drawings need to be banned.

kk but we are literally talking about gacha porn which is mainly drawn by east and in general people on this board complain about drawn porn.
You are mentally ill. Please leave this thread.
>>
>>733858873
It's a very good story if that's any consolation. You can also just skip the cutscenes and turn on fast mode, which lets you warp between encounters to cut out any downtime. The runs are long though I think my fastest max difficulty, optional hard zone true end run was like an hour and 40 minutes.

I just want games to have a healthy balance between cool females and cool males. Doesn't even have to be 50/50, I'd be happy with 60/40. I have so much titty fatigue it's unreal.

It also destroys the world and premise when all the girls are tit flapping bimbos madly in love with the MC. I have nothing against sexy women tho. But when every new unit is a sexy girl agent it kinda detracts from the whole thing imo.

The only gacha I play is Fate/Grand Order and I legitimately enjoy the gameplay, but also the story is interesting to me generally both on its own merit and for the subject matter. I watched a play of A Midsummer Night's Dream specifically because I wanted to know who Oberon was before Lostbelt 6 came out and it ended up being something me and my mother bonded over.

I've tried many other gachas but typically drop them within a month or two.
>>
>>733864520
I hate to admit it but their discord is the superior way to play. I tried for hours to do a 4p clear with a friend of mine with randoms and they kept fucking it. I pinged their discord and some faggot and a furry joined and we one shot it. Voice makes such a huge difference. Being said I've cleared normal lunar multiple times with no comms and randoms. Still haven't done lunar extra fully yet, but soon.

Judging a game you've never played at face value is a sign of you being low iq and brown. It's not a "porn game" it's a game that has sex scenes in it. Sexuality is a heavy topic and plot narrative used to drive in the story and plot points. The main gameplay loop is classic snes style jrpg combat and exploration/trial and error. You're a retard
