What is the appeal of gacha?
>>739333379Casino for zoomersInstead of winning money and use it for literally anything, you win anime girls that you mastubate toTLDR; zoomers
>>739333379Rule34. Next question
>>739333379Puritan wokescolds took over in other video game companies and banished female characters that "appealed to the male gaze" so the only way to find a game with a gaggle of attractive female characters in nice looking clothes is in gacha games. Turns out men didn't care for the man-jawed women and fat sassy black women and decided to drop their money on gacha games rather than real games. I can't even say they'll stop now if real games add back in sexy characters because it's really hard to break a gambling addiction once you start.

>>739333379The modern wave of gacha post-Genshin has made an arguably more stable and successful kind of live service. Yeah its not a user friendly monetization method, we all know that. But if you can draw in people enough with the artistry behind your game, you can make people come to terms with the skinner box. This is why I also think Hoyo remains a cut above the rest, especially Wuwa. Wuwa feels like Ubisoft's take on Genshin. Painfully generic.
i have never played a gacha game but I never miss an opportunity to shit on on Gacha in every gacha related thread I find.
>>739333379Appealing sceneriesAppealign charactersAppealing price (free)sometimes also appealing story, but usually it's the former
>>739333379I can tell you the reason why from economical standpoint but since this is /v/ and not /lit/ then its going to be useless>>739333904Ubisoft take on genshin is a game called immortal fenyx rising
>>739333379Gachas are for unemployed depressed truecel neets
>>739333904Wuwa USED to be peak. The combat was at its best in the early days when quickswap was the only way to beat some of the hardest content and you could solo content with Danjin. Absolutely peak gameplay. 2.0 was a renaissance as flight feels so incredibly good but the game was not designed with it in mind and this is where the cracks start to show. By the time 2.0 wrapped up it was clear what the new direction would be. Strange that it's more popular now than when it was good.
God forbid we try to discuss a GAME expansion that released this week, thank you Janitorial Principles.
>>739335120there was a genshin thread yesterday and so it counts as a general if you make one againthey count that shit by the second, yet ask them why are there thinly veiled pokemon threads all the time on this board despite the game having it's whole separate board just for it and they ban you for complaining
>>739333774>I can't even say they'll stop now if real games add back in sexy characters because it's really hard to break a gambling addiction once you start.Lol...Anon...My friend......They will ban gacha games completely...But they will NOT ban betting apps...New captive audience incoming.

>>739333379It's like vidya for people who actually hate playing vidya. Turns out there's a lot of them. The funniest development is that normalfags got into it which is both surprising and not really.
>>739335247I liked the one that just got deleted because it had porn of the new purple loli
Stupid janny, I'm finishing the story now and I want to discuss it.
>>739335247>files for a Switch port found in the betaSoon Genshin threads will be safe, as long as you thoughtfully include in the OP how you're playing the game on your Nintendo™© Switch® 2™
>>739335547Is the Shitch 2 finally strong enough to play a game that runs on any smartphone?
>>739335417Discuss tomatoes

>>739333961>i have never played a gacha gameand I hope you never have to, not even to satiate your curiosity. Every gacha is exactly the same ~6 week content dripfeed cycle littered with crappy daily/weekly chores for crumbs of premium currency which is mathematically calculated to give you a free character every few patches so you don't quit. They all have some form of resource (stamina, "resin", etc.) that can only be recharged either with real time passing or your credit card but is indispensable in order to build your characters. Usually it takes you upward of a month of spending this resource in order to fully build ONE character and of course the devs keep adding content that can only be cleared with newer chars because the only real way to lock people out of rewards is a numbers dps check. Fuck gacha so much.
>>739333961I was never going to start if a girl in high school I was talking to wouldn't gush about Genshin and its cool lore and story constantly.We're married now.

>>739335875Is Ororon a respectable man of education who does not plant tomatoes because they're fruits, or is he a savage that believes they're vegetables?
>>739333379The recent ones usually have decent enough gameplay in the early game to get people started. Then they keep you invested by requiring you to play nearly every day to keep up with updates and FOMO characters/events>You're not playing a game, you're maintaining an account
>>739333379The dopamine of gambling, except it's worse because you can't potentially make money.
>>739336242>>You're not playing a game, you're maintaining an accountThat's a player issue, but yes, Gacha games are absolutely designed to keep you stuck in a FOMO state
>>739336030>all gachas are the same as genshin and its cloneslmao
>>739335271>My friend......>They will ban gacha games completely...>But they will NOT ban betting apps...>New captive audience incoming.I am from Greece. Our government has been massively cracking down on any privacy and anonymity laws, requiring IDs to make accounts on social media, a ton of websites now geofence us out and I have to use VPNs etc. All following a common EU strategy to absolutely nuke all internet activity not tied to your name. All to protect "the children" from social media and "society" from "political trolls".Meanwhile, in 2025, in this tiny poor country, 47 BILLION euros were wasted on gambling. That's 3 times as much money as was spent on all supermarkets combined. Three times the money spent on food, house supplies and necessities, all to gambling. All the gambling companies bribe the shit out of politicians so they don't get any laws restricting it, they rape society freely.
>>739336489azur lane? same shit. blue archive? same shit. chaos zero nightmare? wuwa? puzzle and dragons? dragon poker? king's raid? ALL THE SAME FUCKING SHIT DUMB GACHANIGGER I'VE PLAYED THEM ALL THEY'RE IDENTICAL IN THEIR BUSINESS MODELS DIE DIE DIE DIEI
>>739336242whats there to maintain in a rhythm game? gacha games didn't even invent character progression games so this argument is retarded
genshitniggers have been desperate to shill their declining game as of late
>>739333508Fpbp. And OP is a faggot for asking this question, instead of searching the archives
>>739336671I'd sooner piss on my mouth than touch /gig/. I check it once a week or so and it's always the same people on the middle of the exact same melty recycling the same posts. It never ends.
>>739336592WoW/ff14? same shitMarvel rivals/overwatch? same shitarc raiders? mobashit? BRshit? all live service games are the samezoomers are so dumb
>>739336784He only brought up gachas while you started talking about unrelated multiplayer games for some reason
>>739335935Here's a red pill: wakanda is JapaneseWa = 和 = yamatoKanda = 神田 = god's field (common Japanese name)Wakanda = 和神田

>>739337083someone didn't get the memo that the durin way of doing story quests sucks ass
>>739336762This, no sane person can take more than a few minutes of /gig/ if you want to see schitzos, shippers, sales charts fags,and the worst of all, that one Aether poster that every other post is. Aether fucked this, Aethers bitch, Aethers harem, Aether got her pregnant with Aethers baby, Aethers wives, Aethers sluts, whores. Non stop all day every day there, and the jannies don't do anything.
>>739336884So Yamato Kanda is BBC property.
>>739337410This post? Aether's property.
>>739337771Nooooooo

>>739333379>What is the appeal of gacha?Banking on teenagers and stunted adults' inability to feel adequate enough to go outside and be social
>>739338006wtf gacha is based?

>>73933878923, live with girlfriend, Genshin
>>739336762its mostly twitter spics
>>739333508But who cares about winning a bunch of JPEG and GIF files?For Gundam Battle Operation 2, I can understand the appeal. You roll in the gacha to get mobile suits, which (1) look cool and (2) play differently in gameplay. I rolled specifically to get Kshatriya, which is one of my favorite mobile suits, even though I've never used it in gameplay (because I hate the high-power-level matches where Kshatriya must be used). But do the anime girls in other gacha games have different gameplay?
>>739339251Yes>>73933878934 sick neetGenshin, zzz
Collei not being a trainee anymore makes her lose a little of her rapebait appeal.It's like seeing a loli growing up.
>>739333379
It's free to play and generally good quality
Constant new content, fun and appealing characters and easy to play.
>>739333379What's the appeal of Citlali?
>>73933878931, code monkey.GI, ZZZ, NTE, WuWa, HSR, though I haven't been enjoying HSR at all for the past year.
>>739340240None.Old hag thinks she can feel romance at her decrepit old age, but she can't compete with the beauty of the cryo Yamato Nadeshiko.
>>739333379Pretty girls because it has replaced AA anime RPGs

>>73933878931, Teacher & IT admin, KHHVrarely gfl2 and genshin
>>73933878928, landscaper.Play 0 gachas..Just quit Genshin earlier this year after 2 years playing. Couldn't handle my shit luck any longer and I'll be damned if I pay money to counteract that, was fun as hell for the first year though.And I'm taking a long possibly permanent break from Master Duel due to it's meta being ass and all my favorite decks being left behind or unusable in their current state.
>>739340862I miss when I could consistently win with P.U.N.K. Eldlich...
>>739340919I miss Eldlich in general, and most of early MD. Though I learned how to play through MD, so I may be a bit nostalgic for it. Except release Dryton, fuck Dryton.
>>739340862>>739340919I'm having fun with Killer Tune even though I'm constantly summoning the wrong synchro
>>739341331I mean you do you, but it's not for me.
>>739338789It feels good to be a Gacha Chad!
>>739341551To be fair it helps I only play like one week every month
>>73933878931, chefUsed to play Dokkan and FEH a ton, finally realized they weren't fun anymore because the power creep was just getting stupid. Discovered that the time I was wasting on them could be spent playing actual games instead.
>>73933878928, NEET(recently quit a job)Just 1 gacha, Blue Archive
>>739340862there are other games, genshin just has a particularly mean gatcha system outside of including a pity system as there are some games out there that don't have one.Neverness to Everness has no coinflip you just get the on banner character the question is how early.the arc which is the weapon banner equivalent also has a worse coinflip however getting an s-rank early that isn't the banner one are effectively a bonus, the chance of getting one at all is also higher per pull.this is just one example.
>>739333379you tell me
>>73933878937Genshin Impact (started in patch 2.7)HSR (barely, just messing around in currency wars usually)Neverness to Everness (dunno if i will drop it or not but i nearly 100% the current content outside of grindy shit)dropped ZZZ a couple of times, think for good this time as it has been a long time.
>>73933878930, NEET>on account maintenanceWuwa, NTE>only login when I feel likeFGO, FEH
>>739342248I need to go back to ZZZ...
>>739342248Why does this middle schooler have such a fat ass
>>739333379Gacha is like the video game equivalent to long running shounen manga. So story basically. No gacha is worth playing if you don't care about the story and/or characters.
>>73933878929 Data Processor, play 1 gacha, Blue Archive. Used to play Nikke, GFL2 and all 3 Mihoyo gacha but ended up dropping all of them cause BA is the only one with a good enough story and likable enough characters. Nikke came close but it shits the bed tonally constantly and never nails a vibe. Story also drags it's heels to the point that it just got boring.
>>73933878924graphic designer/ui ux2 gachas - genkek (started in 2025) and brown dust (started in 2025)
what are the chances sandrone gets buffed before release?100k with a full 5 star team in the big 26 is crazy
