Most people playing gachas are millenial asians thoughbeit. Especially chinks who grew up watching anime in the 2000s and early 2010s.

>>737029313
You could be right but I doubt it. I'd believe the whales are though.

>>737029448
Why would you doubt it? Look at every account of every chinese or japanese person talking about gacha on twitter or the devs themselves. It's 30 somethings who liked anime back in their teens and young adult hood. Most of Mihoyo for example were college drop outs/graduates who grew up with evangelion, TTGL and Madoka which is extremely obvious if you look at their earliest games. Just like how modern western devs are also millenials making about stuff they liked back then.

She's right. It wasn't a big deal when the internet was mostly just nerds and the general culture was "only retards believe whatever they read on the internet", but it doesn't work like that nowadays. Smartphones were a mistake.

>>737031937
The sub fee model is only used for games that had it before cash shops existed. People didn't like it but it was accepted at the time because you got regular content updates in exchange for it, and it wasn't really optional so it's not like people were needlessly throwing money away on a game they could play for free.

But ironically, very few normal games have the same budget and production values that gachas get. Compare any kind of atlus or gust game to any modern gacha when it comes to model quality, animations and content. I would like a single player anime game that looks and sounds as good as ZZZ but it doesn't really exist.

>>737035358
Gacha with good gameplay and bad otherwise? Which one is that?

>>737027012
Zoomers are just used to abusive and transactionary relationships, especially with the opposite sex. They don't feel comfortable unless they are being exploited.

>>737029624
Most of the content is extreme fomo, you can't play it at your leisure you need to rush through it so you unlock the latest resource mines.
>>737031937
Except all of the gameplay of a gatcha is free to access, you're spending money to cut down on excessive grind you hate or to gamble on maybe getting a new power crept anime girl to play as because the game is tuned around having them and sucks to play without them.
You are being disingenuous to say the two are comparable.

>>737035431
Honkai Star Rail. As far as turn-based games go, it's a pretty good one. I quit every single gacha except it just because the endgame challenges pull me back, the idea of a teambuilder turn-based game where the rooster constantly increases is great.

The problem is, because it is gacha, by gacha's inherent nature, it slowly poisons every subsystem in the game because the goal is not to make the game more fun, but to sell the new toys. This leads to rampant powercreep, waifu favoritism, ridiculous amount of rng gated behind stamina system, and mini games that are designed with toddlers in mind.

>>737035684
>Pretty good turn based game

Play Pokémon it'll blow your mind. You can even find a romhack that changes the monsters into anime girls.

memes at the start, by Richad Dawkins definition, are ideas which are propagated like a virus of sort. MG rising pretty much summed it up. Now if you know ideas can be propagated, you can brute force them by creating a false consensus with bots or indians.

what's the DEEPEST turn-based game anyway?

I see. I hear gachafags complain about Hoyo for making gacha more hassle to play because of the bigger focus on gameplay. They say it appeals to normalfags. Sounds like it's super profitable in the end, tho. I guess we can expect to see more gacha like this and fewer regular anime-style vidya because of that.

Normal gambling is for cringey older people. Gacha is gambling with a coat of paint so that it appeals to dumb kids.

Gambling itself is appealing to humans because it's kind of like an exploit of human brains. You can explain it a bunch of ways, like you can use a predictive processing / bayesian brain model from which its appeal falls out pretty easily. Or you could use behaviourism based models and pretty easily explain it too. I think it's one of those situations where the strength of the exploit is so strong that you can work it out even if you're attacking the question from lots of different angles.

There are very clear reasons gambling addiction is a very common problem basically, and why humans fall into them easily. That's just as true of young kids on their phones as it is for old boomers, even if for the boomers it's the literal physical slot machines at their local venue and for the kids it's gacha. Either way it's the same brain-hack.

>>737036043
Only at the start when it came out. Now every character has a bunch of skills buried underneath their kit that have a lot of conditions and requirements to make them shine. It's like how YGO at the start only had normal monsters that either attack or defend then compare them to how card effects read like. Now character abilities read like encyclopedias.

>>737036616
It's bit complex to explain why it's getting worse and worse to someone who doesn't play the game and I supposed that is by design, but I'll try.

To oversimplify it for the sake of understanding, imagine star rail is essentially a team builder game, where you pick which characters you want in a limited amount to form teams and try to beat challenges. Part of the way you express your skill in the game (and in turn, have fun) is by teambuilding and theory-crafting, it's literally that meme of "yo his gameplay is fire" with a picture of an excel spreadsheet, but unironically. Recently (as in, from 1 and half a year to now), they are designing characters so they have a preset, pre determined already built team. Instead of you yourself building a team, you just pay to pick the pre-determined BiS for each character in a team. That pre-made team with looping synergy is so powerful, all other teams struggle.

Now just take that exact same logic and apply it to different areas of the game, and that's essentially what's happening to star rail. Skill expression is dying in favor of powercreep and braindead units that sell better because they are trying to appeal to people who don't like turn-based gameplay to begin with, and just want to click auto to get the shinnies.

It's this. Gacha is the current endpoint of almost purely profit-oriented design. It's a machine designed to milk you for money with just-satisfying-enough gameplay and actually state-of-the-art hornybait designs. It's spiritually and mentally empty, but must not allow you to come to that conclusion.

Honest answer. Zoomers exist in a state where the majority of them have come to the conclusion that they will never own a house and many will never have a family.
Because of this they either spend money on whatever provides them a dopamine rush in the moment, or for a handful burn it on dopamine rushes that are also random chances to get rich like shitcoins and gambling apps.
Because if you have no reason to save why not spend it all on excess.

When you think about it, it's pretty counter-intuitive to have a sexy or pornographic game with busy gameplay. Instead of looking at the hot girls you have to worry about playing well, so devs dumb it down to let players sit back and watch.

I think the character designs in most gacha games fucking suck, considering they're supposed to be one of the primary selling points. Even if we absolutely have to commit to an anime artstyle, I haven't seen a single design that's as compelling as that of any random character in No More Heroes or Danganronpa. Except, I guess, that one game that had the character designer of Danganronpa that they cancelled after a month.

Only Gacha game I enjoyed was Infinity Nikki, of all things. Tried WuWa, didn't like it. Tried Endfield, didn't like it. Probably gonna try NTE but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

Anon, this just sounds like you like the NMH and Danganronpa artists.

But I'll take your comment at face value and say I legitimately believe Fate/Grand Order has consistently strong designs, in part because there's effectively zero committee approval process and every design is unequivocally a result of the original artists vision. Famously, Nasu told Harada (main artist for Disgaea) to design Beni Enma and literally the only guidance he gave was "She's a loli inn proprietress demon, you know what to do." and the result was perfect. Multiple of the artists, especially Choco with Melusine, treat the characters they designed as effectively their specialist babies, and a lot of designs truly feel like no one else could have come close - to cycle back to Danganronpa I genuinely don't think anyone but Rui could have designed The Count of Monte Cristo in FGO that way and it drives home his character unbelievably well.

A lot of gacha(especially chinese gacha) subscribe to the idea that more is more, but that usually just ends up with them being overdesigned and lesser than the sum of the parts. In that regard I entirely agree.

That's fair, I guess. And maybe I should specify that I'm mostly talking about the 3D action gacha's here. I do actually like some of the designs in Limbus Company and Reverse 1999, they're just not really the sort of thing I play.

Gachafags have no self-respect and think they're actually smart for willingly walking a long thorny path (f2p) instead of walking on a short red carpet (paypigging).
The thought of just not bothering with this predatory crap doesn't exist to them.

These games are design from the ground up to waste your time and time-gate the shit out of everything so you are forced to log in again and again and again until you eventually open your wallet, and even if you don't you're still wasting away your time on literal dogshit instead of playing actual real video games.
