>One of the cutest characters in vidya>Look inside her game>Gacha slopWhy can't we get characters with designs and personalities like gacha characters in actual video games anymore?I will never play ZZZ but I love her>O-oh but you can play it totally freeDon't care gacha is all predatory trash
>>736993447For me its Belle
Just play gacha, and don't get preyed upon.
>hoyoslop>good charactersLOL
>>736993447You know nothing about her, but you love her. Also, she's not very cute.
>>736993447Because you voted for communists. Good job jackass.
Mibibi thread
>>736994553>You voted forNice try
>>736994657
>>736993447>Why can't we get characters with designs and personalities like gachathe entire business model of gacha revolves around selling you these characters. most of these games aren't even games, you just click on menus to collect tokens to roll for characters. they have one team of devs working on the game then 5 teams working on character designs and art. and those designs specifically cater to things to make you want them, rather than things relevant to the story or the world they exist inno game could ever make money doing this outside of the gacha genre
>>736993447>>736993779>>736994657>>736994745We all love Mibibi here
>>736994810KYS fudder, Gachas are the future of videogames whether you like it or not. Nobody is buying your western wokeshit, Cry FUCKING harder
>>736994930>If you don't like gacha you must be a concord devThe final cope of gacha tards
>>736993447Is it true that she parries cats
>>736993447How is that one of the cutest designs? It's just a generic basic bitch anime girl with dumb ears.There's literally hundreds of them and they all look the fucking same.

Bibi threadBibi boardBibi site
>>736993447>Why can't we get characters with designs and personalities like gacha characters in actual video games anymoreThat's how people design fighting games and other arcadey genres like shumps, retardGacha's just mainly about character collecting too, why wouldn't they try to be eyecatching?
>>736993447>not being able to recognize that a character that overdesigned is from gachashitShit taste, shit for brains.
ERADICATE ALL FAGGOTSOP FIRST OF ALL
>>736997996I agree with the general sentiment, but Miyabi isn't overdesigned the way almost every hoyo character is.
>>736993779>gacha>play
>>736993447Doesn't she have the 'tism?
>>736998150and that's a good thing
Considering it's one of their main selling points, I don't think any Gacha games have particularly appealing character designs. Every single character in something like No More Heroes or even Danganronpa looks more interesting than just about any character design in any Mihoyo game.
>>736993447When I first saw her design, I flipped my desk over because she doesn't have a tail. You can't just NOT give a foxgirl a tail. Too bad, maybe it would have made me pick up the game but they dun goofed
>>736993447>predatoryjust don't give them money
>>736993447Didn't ask
I play her game but I don't spend+miyabi is a dogshit character design
>>736999379thiswe simp for shungus here
>>736993447It's more apparent why when you look at gacha spin offs of real games.Fire Emblem Heroes has sexual fanservice, ecchi artists doing breast enlargements, wedding outfits for little girls, skimpy dancer outfits every year.Then look at Fire Emblem Three Houses. Outside of one character, it's sterilized as fuck. Sweat pants, baggy clothes, unified military uniforms that are bland and uninteresting. The closest thing to fetish material is Sothis' feet. The game was massively popular with women and casuals because of the school/persona-like setting. These same people then looked at Engage and walked off because of the large mommy with big tits without giving the game a fair shake.Real games have to cater to the worst kind of low common denominator: normies. Fanservice is banned. It gives everyone the ick, unless it's fanservice for women then it's okay.Gacha games cater to the other kind of low common denominator: porn addicts. They're more vunerable to wasting money for PNGs, which is why you only see attractive female characters in gachas anymore. Hoyo games are pretty tame compared to most gachas but compared to real games it's still way too sexy.
>>736999432Such a mishandled character.Could have been kino but ended up cringe. I hope I never hear "OSMANTHUS CAKES" again.
>>736999731>Such a mishandled character.>Could have been kino but ended up cringe.No, no, no. She's conceptually cringe. The end result could have never been anything different.
>>736993447We got Grace, she's like a cute gacha girl in the new REBut I agree with you, gacha keeps hogging all the good girls
>>736999469It's far worse than mainstream games being heavily sanitized for a "common denominator."For the past 25~ years, media has been getting aggressively sanitized by a fringe lot of liberal karens who want to crush all conventional sexuality, while also pushing whatever bizarre downright evil ideological horseshit that they think is 'progressive' at the time.It's being corrupted by freaks.
Every single gacha or gacha-adjacent game I've played (f2p game with constant content updates and 'free' stingy economy that requires you to do daily missions like a retarded wagecuck slave to afford pulls) has its community constantly discussing "THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAME".What is that? It's the one thing that "could" make this game fun and realize its true potential, but as long as it's unfixed it makes it a pain in the ass to play. Discourse endlessly circles around the current "the problem with the game". Said issues NEVER, EVER get fixed as goalpost relocating constantly change what "the current problem with the game" is. And if they ever happen to fix something, they'd have already broken something else that gets queued up to the top of glaring game design issues, creating a new current "problem with the game".Every single time. They're all products broken by design and people will never stop discussing how to "fix them" as they keep playing what's ultimately a piece of trash with waifus by sunken cost fallacy, since they've invested so much time (or money) on their accounts.But anon, what if they finally fixed everything. Then all of this effort will be worth it, and you'll regret not being here when it happens!Fuck that.
>>736994930Gachashit teaches you that south and south east asians are at least 2 steps below niggers on the humanity chart.
>>736999808Not true. If they stuck with her original design and properly made Blanco her own character, instead of sidelining and deleting her, there was potential for something good.If Shungus was genki and had an obvious love of life, and showed actual reluctance and fear towards the sword, then her fading memories would have hit harder. Instead she almost always carried herself with that resigned, demure sadness and never hesitated to draw the sword. Like she had a deathwish or something.Her demo is everything that's wrong with her in a nutshell.>Wise shoehorned in for waifu pandering>she's shown she easily defeat ethereals without releasing the sword>retarded dramatic moment happens>Blanco appears cosmetically and doesn't say anything>flashback to some basic bitch waifu date shit as if that alone is enough to make people care>she releases the sword to nuke a bunch of basic ethereals>narrative expects you to find that touching instead of cataclismically retarded
>>737000013The answer to THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAME should always be shitty drop rates with drip fed currency.Other problems like coinflips, high pity rates, weapon banners, overpriced skins, and powercreep will solve itself it wasn't a fucking sub 1% chance for a character on budget where you cannot get the rate up character unless you're super lucky or spend money.
didn't readye dumb (but cute)
>>736993447Is Mibibi still OP after like a year and a half
>>736993447>One of the cutest characters in vidya>Look inside her game>Gacha slopit just keeps happening
>>737000413>If they stuck with her original design and properly made Blanco her own character>the concept art clearly shows Shungus Blanco was never a separate character???>everything that's wrong with her in a nutshell.>Wise shoehorned in for waifu pandering>she's shown she easily defeat ethereals without releasing the sword>retarded dramatic moment happens>flashback to some basic bitch waifu date shit as if that alone is enough to make people careYou see, THIS is what Shungus' character IS. She IS the retarded superficial waifu pandering.That more than one dimensional character you're imagining - it's not her. It's someone entirely different.With Shungus it's very obvious, that someone on the dev team (someone from the high up on the management chain) had very shallow basic bitch taste in his anime waifus and came up/fell in love with Shungus' design, and pushed for her to be the main focus of the game for a while. Both meta and narrative wise.Same shit, but on a lesser scale, happened with SNEED, when the devs went all like once you recognize the secret reason for her scooter, you will feel ashamed of your words and deeds.
>>737000685I hope Sneedfag and Shungusfag were the same guy and that he's now been sidelined.
>>737000604This damn brat succed my savings dry and I still didn't get her ball!
>>737000685>had very shallow basic bitch taste in his anime waifus and came up/fell in love with Shungus' designI thought that gachafags loved this shit
>>737001001The sig ball is by far the most important for Yu, since she's a Stunner which uniquely synergizes with Anomaly (for now anyway). She can't compe with any existing free or premium Stunner balls.
>>737001079I know!
>>737001047A sizeable portion of the playerbase does, true. But a well-written organically likable character is going to win against a shallow waifu even among that kind of players, simply because they're better objectively. That, and being a meta hypercarry in a p2w genre game definitely helped Shungus.

>>737001248It is. I tried it on release and it's just mindlessly mashing two buttons because it has to be playable by negative IQ mobile retards.
>>737001812also basado
>>736993447the thing is, unless you're doing high end shit you literally do not need to roll for characters in ZZZ because you can use them all in hollow zero anywayi'm still sad i didn't get nangong though
>>737002112Imagine going through this much stress and anxiety and having to cough up just to get half a character lmaoPoor guy doesn't even have her signature engine.
>>737002139>mindlessly mashing buttonslike in a video game?
>>737002126I even tried replaying it just for her but even best girl couldn't save it. Mavuika deserve to be in a real game.
>>736997886Based.
>>737000580she just got a shiny new anamoly stunner, and she can dish out the same high scores as the new void hunters for me
>>737000580she's been indirectly nerfed due to miasma and rupture but new character will bring back ice anomaly so mibibi stonks will rise next month, buy the dip
>>737001812Me on the right

What I don’t understand is why gacha games seem so allergic to actually being video games. It’s kind of funny that some more predatory games can have better gameplay than whatever “intense” gacha game gachafags are trying to shill
>>737003363It is strange. They can certainly afford to be better games, but they just don't. I suppose that's why they're doing it in the first place: easy money, no effort. Makes you feel bad for the out of game animations since ZZZ and Wuthering Waves do quite well despite their dogshit games
>>736993447Love the brainwashed gachanigger seethe. No bro you must grind for months until you wait for her rerun only to realize she is worthless by herself so you also need to roll entire team. All so you can press two buttons and nothing else.>>737003363Because most revenue comes from mobile players which have an average IQ of 60 and limited control scheme. In general they don't want "real games", and if it had actual gameplay it would be bad since it would be too time consuming and get in the way of some of their manipulation tactics, like dailies.
Can anyone coherently tell me why they don't just run Miyabi banner? Everyone who plays wants her. Why don't they just make loads of cash?
>>737003959FOMO, if they only run it rarely it makes sure when they do run it whales will rush to spend as much as possible to get her.
>>736993447Asian otakus no longer have the time for regular games, nor do they want to put in the effort required for those. They're playing mobile games. Now the games meant for home systems are stuck seeking normal people to survive, watering themselves down to the point of appealing to no one.>gacha is all predatory trashThis is true but it's not very different to them. You were always expected to become a whale of some kind over there.>>737003363The players don't want anything more. They're only in it to look at characters performing flashy animations, read some lines about those same characters praising them, and so they can post about the game on social media.
>>737003991Mmm but I have enough to get one 5 star for sure and I don't really play so it might engage me. I started just fucking about with Genshin impact and didn't really have very much chinkcash and they ran Venti so now I'm just super uniterested because I couldn't get him and he won't be run for like a year
>>737002162>>737002789femdom mom
>>737003959Because everybody that wants her, has her already
>>737004370I don't. They haven't run her since I've played for the first time I think. idk if I'm honest I don't even pay attention to the banners because its all Chinese characters last time I looked
>>737004163You have to be gigaretarded to start Genshin now, it is simply not worth it. 80% of the games content is gone forever because induced fomo, and that includes major story quests. Yes, even those are time gated. What's left there is mid to bad up till Fontaine, also somehow still no "Skip" button for the dragged out scenes.If you're the type to play for meta you're also cooked because powercreep has reaches new heights where you need full premium 5* only team to even attempt the game modes and since there are only two banners you will be waiting for an entire year of reruns before you can get one of multiple teams you need.
>>736993447The thing about gacha games is that you can just slap a cool character together, make a super short VN about them with some trivia facts on the side and you can forget about them unlike in actual game where you have to come up with an entire plotline about themBecause that's what happens with ones that aren't lucky enough to be connected to major plots
I love Hoshimi Mibibi.I forgot what her original name was.
Mibibibibibibi owned board
>>737004735Yuri...I love Yuri...
>>737003959Miyabi was too auto-win for the devs' taste, much like Piper was with max Anomaly.
Why is the gacha community full of trannies and fags? Looking at literally any general for a gacha on /vg/ and all you see is rampant homosexuality and gay ERP, unless they're seething about straight men, who according to them has to be brown asians
>>737000580The fact that she can still perform well despite the devs consistently kneecapping her with bullshit anti Miyabi mechanics and newer and shiner units speaks volumes. And now she has a shiny new toy in Nangong who's absolutely busted as fuck for anomaly.
>>737003363Because fundamentally these games revolve around numbers going up, basically cookie clicker with progression timegated in some form. But since they also need constant flow of new content, the simpliest way of adding more content is just bigger numbers. What's easier, adding complex enemies with new movesets and mechanics and whatnot, or just same old shit but with different skins and more numbers?People don't make gacha with the mindset of making a good game, it's a money printer by design, so more income with less expenses is generally the priority.
I hate gachashit too, OP. I decided to just avoid them entirely. I can enjoy the best part of them on boorus and ai anyway. Gachashitter are actual fucking cucks.
>>737005448loud trannies are everywhere, sadly, but it's just a very small number of them in every "communities". You need to keep in mind just how few people in the world actually decide to troon themselves, and with 41% being a real metric, they won't even be around for long.
>>737003959No idea. They also haven't Harumasa at all in like a year and a half. It's not like Harumasa is some kind of a game-breaking character who defined the meta. It would cost the devs nothing to have extra banners up.>>737004370This is a bizarre reasoning. What about new players? How long will they have to wait to get these popular characters that the devs constantly capitalize on in marketing yet are so stingy with when it comes to rerun banners?
>>737001079>ball is importantretard take, shyiu and DA are clearable with 0 balls and mindscapes
>>736994874I used to not like her but now I do. Not sure how that happened.
>>737003363The games are glorified chores, they know that people would bounce if they had to put effort into them, especially guys playing multiple ones. You know, competing for your attention and such.It's mobile/browser shit, after all.
>>737005339Faggot
>>737006435Yes but that takes more skill than what the average player has.
>>737003363Trust me, you don't want a gacha to have real gameplay. CZN is basically Slay the Spire, and what that means is that the daily/weekly chores take longer to complete, and that's it. It was really fun for like a month, but it became so annoying that I quit because you actually need to play the game for several hours.
Is this the thread?
>>736999469Gacha games are more REAL games, than the AAA $70 slop, that many of you are accustomed to and conditioned to think that are legitimate products. But we're not ready to have that adult conversation, because you are too addicted to the old game industry.
