>tfw when Endfield actually redeems itself 60 hours in
what's the gameplay? :)
Is that the girl from fortnite
>>745923978Death Stranding Satisfactory Resource Management Xenoblade 2 Walking Master Love in China (feat. Rock)
>>745923505Cool game but the second round of factory shit with the guild and whatnot was not fun for me. I liked the first factory before the china expansion
>Valley IV is fine in the beta test>Chinese people cry, again>becomes butchered>devs don't know how to fix Valley IV post-release>add a skip button to the whole 27 hour opening
I dropped every gacha title over the years except for Endfield, because Chinese studios just can't write.I don't know what it is, whether it's because they copy Genshin's word count, China's light novel scene, historical things in the country, gacha development timelines.
>>745923505Flex on em, Perlica!!
>>745925163If another gacha were to write this one line of dialogue, here's how they'd do it:>The Dijang... some sort of massive boat in space, and Endfield Industries, seemingly full of good hearted people. But why can't I remember anything? I'll need to get to the bottom of my memories and fast
>>745925325
>>745923505Should I play enfield?
>>745923505EoSfield
>>745923505Is this the best looking gacha
>>745925273once it gets eos'd, this will be endfield's entire legacy btw
>>745925976It's a hard recommendation.You have to give the game time to settle in, you can't dip your feet into it expecting it to wow you off the bat.If you like anime like Psycho-Pass, Knights of Sidonia, Attack on Titan, that sort of tone and narrative feel where there's a semi-political undertone but it's still mostly cool shit happening on screen, then sure.
>>745926097Endfield's character models look too good, to the point where you get whiplash going back to other anime games.
Whoever made 1.4 as well, that FFXIV Knights of the Round boss with the music and all the Arcane story beats. Incredible stuff.
Never played gacha. Never will. Came here to post this.
Not playing her game but she’s cute so you may spam her all over my board.

>Make a game with a good amount of uniqueness and depth compared to most gacha games>Follow it up with the most bog standard 3D gacha with all the same rotationslop and kindergarten-level puzzles that you've already seen in every other 3D gachaEveryone still holding on to this game is suffering from sunk cost
>>745927053Please do not play this as your first gacha.
>>745927513>3d tower defense can work bro trust me>oh nyo~
>>745923978>>745923505every time i tried to get back into this and started going into combat my soul died a little bit each time
>>745928272Combat also doesn't click until later on. You have to NOT treat it like a swop&slop combat game and instead just think of it as one character with 16 skills to use.When you treat it like a single character MMO build, then it starts to work, although still with fundamental issues (positioning, aggro, meter building, etc.
>>745927946they didn't even try
>>745923505Funny you say that, because Wuling is what made people drop the game.>>745923978
>>745923505That's just the sunk cost fallacy kicking in
>>745929293But maybe...
>>745923505The actual gacha part with dailies/weeklies is too torturous so I quit.
Game got so much better with Liino and Arcane.
>>745929839>Do one small fight>Buy an item from the free currency exchange>Gift an operator an item>Craft a piece of gearWow shit, 5 minutes is too much time.

the only good thing to come from gachas are the sponsored randowis clips

>>745923505Gacha only ever gets worse the more you play. There are no exceptions to this rule.
>>745926161more than like 95% of failed live service games thougbeit
>>745930663Endfield is directly inspired by Xenoblade 2 though.
>>745930908Corrrect, but If I just play one then I won't notice it because there'll be nothing to compare it to!Then I can sit on /vg/ and say how the other games all sucj
>>745923505>You have to spend 60 whole hours and thousands of dollars to enjoy a game>Instead of dropping it 2 hours in because it's bad for 60 whole hoursI'll never understand autism and I'm an autist.
>>745931237Huh, I should replay Xenoblade, I completely forgot it has dodge and one active skill.
>>745929381Is the evasion made automatically?Would be really kino if it was like that, just because it'd destroy 90% of the game.

>>745930384please watch MyGo/Ave Mujica
>>745930092Game didn't give me her gun so I didn't pull her.
>>745931761No but it's desirable to know AK lore
>>745931761No because it's too much effort. Either you were there for original Arknights or you weren't.There are a lot of character callbacks and it is technically a sequel, but you can essentially pretend you're the MC with amnesia.
>>745931818Xenoblade's EN dub is better than JP and suits the setting better.
>>745931761Original is a better game.
>>745931818bruh u dont knowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsBYF_OcMR8
She should've gotten a Fortnite slot too...
>>745925163Because they are creatively bankrupt and only know how to copy exactly one formula. Their whole society is based on copypasting and doing as one has been told, there's no room for actual individualism or expressionism - as a result the potential creative spark is being culled before it even has a chance to grow for the sake of commodity and compliance. The only Asian country that has a somewhat creative spark is Japan and even there it's seeped through with LN copypasted writing so you have to look harder for well written titles nowadays.
>>745932537According to the CCP, this is a combat ready woman

>>745932703She's ready to deploy reinforcements.
>>745923505I didn't like it much so I dropped it after a weel but Perlica is cute with that bird like stuff on her hair so I get it.

perlica won?
>>745933420Does GFL has this? No? Didn't think so.
>>745927513>good amount of uniquenessBro it was literally just Millennium War Aigis.

>>745923505Can I pull cheeks?
>>745933280Please redownload the game
>"Woah, Factory!"
>>745934074I don't know bro I'm just in not-China right now and we're chasing Tangtang and it took me 6 hours to set up the factory.The narrative backdrop is probably lost on someone like me who only played a few chapters of Arknights.
>here's your next character
>>745934310the story has barely any relation to arkknights besides the setting, its just vaguely talking about shit for the sake of it instead of giving actual lore
>>745934310Please don't slander the arknights narrative by comparing it to MLslop that is endfield.
>>745934420>MLslopIsn't that what all gacha are
>>745934604There's different degrees of MLsloping, and Endfield went full WuWa. Every patch, the banner-of-a-week girl is all over the MC, only to be dumped and forgotten as the next patch rolls.
>>745924229I bought her on Fortnite even though I don’t play Endfield
>>745934332I like this guy. Why does every gacha character have to be a female virgin that loves the MC so chinese incels don't commit suicide or a violent but warm psychopath so that women can feel involved too
>>745934223I'll do it probably after a year if it's still good. I returned to ZZZ and Wuwa after a year and they were finally decent games.
>>745923505EoS?
>>745934954>I returned to ZZZ and Wuwa after a yearAh, I see. I'm (you) from the future, and I already know you'll drop both games for Endfield in 4 months. You are merely living through my previous exact reality.
>>745923505The fortnite collab killed all the interest I had for this joke of a game willing to sell out its image and dignity for mere pennies.
>>745935141Irony called, they want your SAO reaction image.
>>745932771If you don't like the game enough to play 5 minutes a day you should probably leave, yeah.
>>745935052My biggest issue is with the general combat. It has the same unsatisfying feel of early WuWa characters. Probably not hard to fix, but will need a new batch of characters. I'm ok with the factory building, kind of fun.
>there are STILL people shilling shitfieldjesus fucking christI guess 1.2 was SO fucking bad it filtered everyone that doesn't have abysmally shit taste so the community is left without critical people I guess.
>>745935141>game having epic store exclusivity deal? ok>paying any notable content creator to shill the game? ok>fortnite skins? now that's where I draw the line

>>745936683>>745936683Thank you for bringing up Zenless Zone Zero and shedding light on the Nigerian representation in the game in an Endfield thread.
>>745929381I rolled my fucking eyes and uninstalled the game the day they added the fucking witch time mechanic from Bayonetta. It makes fucking sense in Honkai 3rd but blatantly copying their mechanic without second thought? Fucking really???
>>745927946the tower defense mode that's there was so bad and so obviously slapped in as a filler content they stopped doing it after the first map cluster
If you want to play Endfield, play it for visuals. Or if you haven't played Genshin/WuWa/ZZZ before, you can play Endfield instead. That's it, no other reasons..Story is unredeemable, typical boring chinkshit. Combat and factory will never be truly good because one of the main design philosophies of the game - that the product remains accessible for everyone.So yeah, it's a very pretty game, going around Wuling and looking at stuff (V4 has its moments too) is the only truly good thing about Endfield. Even devs know this because there's a fucking skip button now to go to the second map cluster immediately without bothering with the first, worse one. (To be fair though Arknights has a similar feature.)I no longer recommend it to anyone anymore because I lost all goodwill and hope for the dev team.
The field has ended...
BUT I DON'T HAVE 30K
>>745936683You are completely mindbroken. ZZZ is going to do good in monthly chart again BTW.
>>745925163Bullshit. Plenty of them have good writing. Especially compared to western AAA slop we get these days.
How are people still playing this after the paypal fiasco?
>>745923978>>745936683maratroon got raped :)
>>745944102well somehow you managed to survive after your mom smashed you against the floor when you were born so there's that
>>745942758>I uninstalled the game before it was released
Does Endmin have Daily Dose in his jacket zipper?
>>745923505I played it religiously until Fanghyi's release (didn't pull her) but I got very tired of the daily routine and ultimately wasn't *really* enjoying the combat.I liked the factory and being able to build in the open world but even that was disappointing because there's no reason to build anything other than power lines and zip lines in the open, it didn't have any building puzzles, no minifactory to build, the open world was mostly just groups of enemies guarding a chest. Genshin in its newest patch unironically does more in the open world its their barebone building mechanic than endfield ever did, and that's not a jab at Endfield, it's just me wishing it was better in that regard.
>well somehow you managed to survive after your mom smashed you against the floor when you were born so there's that
>>745944538Nigger they didn't add the witch time dodge until 1.2 retard.
>>745923978>>745943485Contingency Contract is the best combat content of any 3D gacha ever released and I've played Hi3rd, PGR, Genshin, Wuwa, ZZZ, HSR. Story is not worse than any other gacha, it's the same level of bad and the same levels of occasional kino. Liino's quest was nice and the latest story boss was great too.

>>745944650>Contingency Contract is the best combat content of any 3D gacha ever releasedI agree with you actually, the problem is it's just 3 weeks of one combat arena that's fun, nothing else, and of course it was time gated and now gone while so many other shit features are permanent. I suppose Umbral Monument is not complete garbage but it's not good either.
>maracktroon seething in a gacha threadLMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>745944990brown encompasses everything not white or yellow.
>>745945049And all it took was 1 pic of steam chartshe's so triggered lmao
>>745945049https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/lv532V4igJz9OPkFnXTAEQ/it's a brown tranny from manila who's either seething in gacha threads or defending maratroon (or some other tranny flopslop like veilguard)
>>745935505The combat was for sure the weakest part of the game on launch, but with some of the new characters like Arcane coupled with making enemies much more aggressive and distinct in the newer areas they seem to have finally figured out how to make it more enjoyable. The character kits are getting a lot more interesting, especially the ones that let you perform skills for fractions of an SP bar.
>>745944969IT'S ALL JUST GIRLS WITH HORNS AND/OR TAILAND THE OUTFITS SUCK, THAT'S WHY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THEM
>>745945092Do maratroons really??????????
>>745945106The outfits are great actually. One of the very few gacha to showcase actual pants, bodysuits, real sleeves, real skirts with no retarded slant and pic rel is probably the best chinese design ever
>>745945116>every gacha is black culture and flopped>but maratroon is based and redpilled, having a blast, and has a stable playerbaselmfao gacha games that make billions of dollars and get constant updates for years are "flops" according to this tranny but maratroon is doing great and the coolest game because it didn't get shut down yet, pure clown shit

>>745945341>beat FGO during FES monthWuwon
>>745944759>a Anime>and it will always doSpeak English.Generally anime settings suit JP dubs because anime settings are usually also very Japanese settings. That's not the case with Xeno games, Metaphor, etc, EN is more suitable there, and even allows for different English accents for different regions/tribes/races in medieval settings (it's far less effective with JP accents). >Also their range and voice acting is still betterThat's mainly the case for anime and shitty games where studios don't bother with quality control and spend far less for EN.I'm not saying EN is always better than JP, but you should really take off the "nihonji is always superior!!!" goggles.
>>745945398Mindbroken by yurichads lmao
>reddit spacingYou're brown
>>745927513This, what makes it even worse is that AK is still getting massive events and content drops while Endfield is drip feeding chores and lazy reused assets3D gachas fucking suck
>>745945432>(it's far less effective with JP accents).because you don't know Japanese enough to notice them
>>745945520I'm on the complete opposite side here: I need some control over my character to have fun, and movement is simply the easiest way to do that.
>>745945495why is Perli staring at a wall
>>745945495modded skin, not anywhere as dark in the original
>>745945208Honestly I don’t understand the complaints about Endfield at all. Valley IV got aesthetically ruined by taking beta feedback from Hoyo subhumans and it’s maybe too frontloaded with tutorials. Those are the only valid ones.>but the story is le bad!It’s Fyodor Dostoyevsky compared to every other 3D gacha game. You want to see what an actual bad gacha story looks like, play the first six months of Wuthering Jeets patches or Neverness to EoS.>but le gacha pity!Real simple math, do you have 120 pulls saved, yes/no? I respect them for making a system that punishes retards conditioned by Mihoyo to have zero impulse control.>but I le hate the le factory!Good. If you’re of such subhuman intellect you can’t figure out how to combine three items into one or run pipes and conduits from point to point, go play something else.>but le content!There’s already far more content in Endfield than most 3D gachas at the six month mark, stop asking for a game to be made materially worse with towerslop and RNG lootslop because you refuse to do other things in your downtime or go outside and touch grass.>but le loli pedophile character!Do the entire nation of Britain a favour and kill yourself, Toblerone.
>>745945598huh no it isn't modded bro, go look at your arclight
>>745945328HOLY LMAO
>>745923978Something like this
>>745945381Almost certainly. Pretty sure we’re off to the desert next, those assets they showed off at the end of the 1.4 developer stream had the Hannabit Circuit insignia on them.
>>745945618Huh I disagree about NTE's plot. Outside of the godawful chapter 4 it's lighthearted like early ZZZ and it's actually decent to good at focusing on comedy. I wish more gacha would realize they shouldn't do something serious.
>>745945739basedI always make sure to tell them in the surveys to keep the goofy shit coming.If I want a gacha with a story that takes itself too seriously I play wuwa
>>745945706>mixed vomit of vfx and numbers with constant characters cut inAsian games haven't improved not one bit after 20 years of experience
>>745945553Nope, just that different English accents makes a lot more sense than Japanese accents to represent different groups in a worldwide setting, because that's closer to reality.
>>745945836post a clip from your favourite videogame
>>745934332Anon don't you know that lying on the internet is an offense that can get you jailed?
>>745945618The issue is 1.1 and 1.2 were slow to come and light on content. They didn't add much to the factory either. .1 patches are way too important for player retention to be that bad.1.3 onwards has been good though.
>>745945653huh, you might be right, if you stand in a shadow she does look quite dark
>>745945739Arknights 2nd collab when?
>>745945836hey man, I'd love to have Jedi Knight gameplay in my gacha but alas...
>>745945618>It’s Fyodor Dostoyevsky compared to every other 3D gacha gamehahahaholy shit what is this delusion
>>745944643The main dodge where you push a button and the character glows blue? The perfect dodge mechanic?
can we get more horse girls in here
I liked 1.1 so far. Simple but effective and well told.
>>745944759En dub is better in Arknights because of the accents.
>>745945739It can’t decide if it wants to be a slice-of-life comedy or do the usual gacha story structure of the amnesiac player self-insert and their coterie of dipshits fighting some big evil organisation. I dropped it after the Porsche collab so maybe it got better after that, but there’s a lot I disliked about the game. People complain about Endfield having no content, but NTE at launch was truly barren. Three (short) main story chapters, some non-repeatable anomaly events around the city, a bank heist extraction grind that stopped being fun after a day, and awful mindless stamina-gated grinding just to get enough materials to level characters. On top of that I generally disliked the art direction and character designs, the incredibly cheap-looking AI-generated assets for videos and images even during main story quests, and the storytelling itself outside of the occasional comedy beat or that one surprisingly well-written quest about the girl frozen in time.They definitely deserve some applause for making a performant UE5 open-world city game, but I’ll wait for someone else to execute on the idea better.
>>745945836>bruh why isn’t Morrowind combat in these action games….

>>745946202NTE is cute, but it genuinely has some of the narrative structure I’ve ever seen. I theorised that the story must have been entirely outsourced and just pieced together later, there’s no way an AI or whatever could write that absolute nonsense with the dog realm.
I love watching gachafags infighting, it's like seeing brainlets trying to figure out how does can opener works lmao
>Marathon out of nowhereWhat on Talos
>>745945618>too frontloaded with tutorialsactually it doesn't have enough tutorials because retards still get filtered over basic shit
>>745946232>Battle Royale at the shape store
>>745946480Tau Ceti you mean
>>745946431I think they probably were planning to make it an entirely episodic story where the protagonist just meets a new group of oddballs every few patches and has a silly adventure with them, in line with saying they wanted to make an episodic comedy, then at some point they got cold feet and ran back to the comfort blanket of “massive mysterious unknowable evil is behind everything” and had to retrofit all the episodic stuff into an overarching narrative, with very limited success.>>745946392And yet Endfield is still better at basic storytelling and worldbuilding than any of the others, so it wins by default.
>>745946614being the smelliest turd isn't much of an achievement, it's still a piece of shit written to appeal to the mentally retarded
i stopped playing at 1.1, the factory and exploring and building shit was fun, but the combat was real ass. how substantial have the patches been?
>>745945618>Doesn't even try to defend the gameplay>Has to compare to other shitty 3D gachas when Endfield is supposed to be a successor to Arknights, yet in that context Endfield is a significant downgrade in almost every category from story to gameplay to content to the pure fact Arknights actually respects the players' intelligence while Endfield treats the player like a retarded babyEndfield has nice graphics and art direction while running well but other than that the game itself fucking sucks. The factory is the only redeeming quality left but it's also babies first factory game that completely guts core aspects of what makes factory games fun in the first place, resulting in you only ever interacting with it for a couple hours after every patch (or like 10 minutes with every factory event)
>>745946513Sadly I think you’re right. They beta tested the first region into oblivion and tried to make the introduction to the factory mechanics as gentle and handholding as possible, and it’s still too much for people. They simplified a bunch of the production processes in 1.4 by introducing gasses and I’m still seeing friends struggle with it.
what are you people doing??POST GIRLS
>>745946202>It can’t decide if it wants to be a slice-of-life comedy or do the usual gacha story structure of the amnesiac player self-insert and their coterie of dipshits fighting some big evil organisationYeah that's why chapter 4 was absolutely terrible. 1.2 happened in a literal board game (in lore) with several genshin impact, it was quite funny and refreshing. Haven't played the new story quest and I only hope they've stopped trying focusing on boring, predictable drama.Because honestly, shit drama aside, NTE has to be one of the least iterative gacha out there and I can underline quite a few things that make it stand out :>Fons are nearly as important as actual roll, NTE is a gacha with a really attractive secondary ressource that has a lot of different uses>Hotta isn't afraid to try a lot of unique stuff, Shinku showing up while I was mindless farming boss materials like you do in most gacha absolutely floored me. Finally, a developer had the balls to try something to spice up dailies>The city is genuinely engaging to explore, unlike other gacha where exploration is boiled down to finding chest protected by random enemies just to get casino token here you actually have anomalies with their own quirks, valuable rewards other than casino tokens (fons, S-Rank weapons for standard characters, furniture, unique vehicles) and playable characters can be found in many different places>Many different events that are everything but point & click like the auction, volleyball, hide and seek, 999 and when the event is not engaging it's designed to brick your account (the scratch card scam)As for character design it's nice, they aren't afraid to try stuff. Akane Rin has to be one the best designs I've seen in a while and I can't wait for her to release (in her daily outfit though) and Nanally belongs to the very rare class of gacha girls with glasses.
>>745946870several genshin impact like maps*
>>745946678>successor to a Newgrounds flash game-tier tower defence with the wordcount of War and Peace bolted onto it.OGAK elitists will never not be funny to me, the best aspects of Arknights were its character designs, art, and some of its storytelling. The actual game aspect was a sad joke - something that Lowlight himself is the first to admit to.
>>745946678But the gameplay is actually good, CC proved it. Maps are good. OST is great. Plot could be worse and since it's the chink area it can only get better I guess
>>745944759For me it's the opposite, I always find EN dub to be strictly better. Granted I don't listen to japanese much to begin with and I don't watch anime but it feels like they're not even trying to act something different from what they're used to. Characters feel so distant.Ultimately, it's whatever you prefer, there's no default better choice. I just like hearing the words that come with the written script.
>>745946870I'M GONNA MISS OUT ON THE SWIMSUITS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>745947001die retarded cat
>>745946928Is that why Arknights releases so many new game modes that don't focus on story? the current running event, Stronghold Protocol: Alliance is a pure gameplay event with no story whatsoever. People like and play it purely because it's FUN to play.
I hated AK's writing and I hate endfield's too, but that was never a big factor really, and I never expect good writing or narratives from gacha in the first place.The reason I still play OG AK and not Endfield is cause I like OG AK gameplay and not Endfields.
>>745947020FOOL only a train can fell the Mint!
>>745946037Horse Kanna...
>>745946870>The city is genuinely engaging to exploreUntil you run out of stuff to find like I did. Great proof-of-concept, though. I was surprised just how well they did mechanically with the city regarding things like NPC density and behaviours, traffic, public transport and verticality. Much bigger games from much bigger studios have failed at all of these things.
The AI penguin shit is what kill Endfield, any type of conversation just turns into slop spam
Blud is stalking gacha threads and thinks he's totally not obsessed and mindbroken lol
>>745947135there's definitely always room for improvement, I'm surprised they're only adding bicycles now for exampleas long as they continue making use of the density of an urban map, I think they'll do finethat being said, we're about to see more of Ananta, so who knows how things will turn out
>>745947171That fad seems to have mercifully run its course.
>all of a sudden every gacha fanbase itt Brroooo go BACK to your generals this is an Arknights thread my goooooood
>>745947080What made me drop the OG was the lack of cohesion between the gameplay and the story, like it doesn't know if it's trying to be a competent tower defense or the next chinese epic, and while it's doing both decently it not great at making both play together smoothly, there's either way too much story getting in the way of pushing through stages, or stages that feel really hard, requiring you to grind your teams a bit, getting in the way when you want to read more story.The pink sheep event is what really made me drop it though, the story felt giga bloated for a such a simple theme. The stages were cool but squeezes between 20 mins of VN before and after each one.
ENTERfield
>>745946232Oh boy do I have the gacha for you
>>745947220>AnantaMy expectations for that are rock-bottom. In the gameplay they showed off, half the animations were stolen 1:1 from other games like the Arkham series, and I don’t feel the art direction is any better than NTE’s from the recent trailers. Maybe a little more grounded, but despite being overall more consistent as a result it’s somehow quite boring to look at. I think Silver Palace looks quite good from a visual design standpoint - but I want to drive a car, not drift a horse.
NTE and Ananta will actually have little in common other than a city.NTE is urban fantasy with a drop of garry's mod, Ananta's goal is to be anime GTA.
>>745924229I have super normie friends that I play fornite with and they hate it when I choose some "chinese cartoon" character to play as.
ananta is not even a fucking gachaor a game for that matter
>>745947250>GeneralThis is /v/ there is no general
Christ it’s so refreshing to play a 3D gacha with actual writing and cinematography. Sure it took a bit to actually reach that in Wuling, but it’s there now.
>>745925273>>745933584wtf she looks actually decent for fortshitecan i still get her for free?
>>745946978The CC was alright but it just shows off just how much worse the rest of the game is. Also the actual content itself wasn't very interesting without the modifiers, it's literally a square arena with 4 waves of regular enemies, no interesting interplay between waves or interesting strategy based on map layout or anything like the original AK CC had. The no dodge modifier also just showcased how badly the game relies on the dodge for the core gameplay to function.>maps are goodVisually they are, but gameplay wise they are extremely bland. All the puzzles and platforming are extremely simplistic and easy.>OST is greatthe OST is alright but still a step down from the original AK. Just by listening to the EPs so far you can tell that Endfield has a different intended core audience than the original AK.
Endfield combat actually grew on me quite a lot. At first I thought it was whatever and mostly played for the factory but after I got Mifu the combat finally clicked with me and now I think it's one of the best among 3d gachas.
>>745947520Eeeh, Wuling was definitely better but I didn't find it anything special. more entertaining for sure.
>>745927896Fuck off
when's Carnelianwhen's Degenbrecher
>>745947520I’m glad they stepped it up from 1.2.>flashback to Fangyi ten years prior>it’s the same model in the same outfit>clipping issues everywhere in closeup shotsWhereas in 1.4:>unique NPC models in cutscenes and flashbacks>unique child Arcane model>much better animations across the board and vastly improved shot blocking and “cinematography” in story scenes
>>745947761I still think Wuthering Waves is, or at least was, better from a pure action game standpoint, but the recent Endfield operators have been way more fun to use than the earlier ones. They finally figured out how to give the combat some juice.
>>745946928I'm sorry you're stuck w/ HG's failed attempt at milking 3d gacha, eospipi
>>745947673When it comes to real time combat, CC was the only end game content of any gacha that valued both mechanical and tactical skills to a degree far higher than other games of that kind. Spacing matter a lot, depending on your team cooldowns matter a fuckton too, same for enemy positioning and damage optimization (the no dodge risk made me realize how fucking good plunge attack was, it doesn't interrupt your attack chain which allow you to do the last hit to generate more SP all while dodging some attacks).It's genuinely great content and the variety of clears showed it, I'd argue that every single dumb whale or average whale got out-risk'd by a good f2p and this is far from being the case in every gacha (OG AK allowed this too though but that's because OG AK pots are pretty shit in general) Sure the very maximum risk (55 iirc) was gatekept by P5 Mifu but only the actually skilled whales could do it. F2P could do 51-52. >gameplay wise they are extremely bland. All the puzzles and platforming are extremely simplistic and easy.Platforming is easy but feels good because the game has really nice air control and I'd disagree that it's bland though, some maps were actually engaging to explore not because they were hard but because you actually had to loop around and use a lot of different paths to reach content that was out of reach, Valley IV's quarry immediately comes to mind.>the OST is alright but still a step down from the original AKIt's much better than alright even if not up to par with original AK that also happens to be an older game with a larger OST. They nailed nearly every atmospheric track and recently I loved this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui9kt2Gvw00 but that's mostly because I could feel the upbeat vibes of a Key VN.
>>745948080>failed>the SEApag actually believes in the hallucinatory AI-generated gacha PvP revenue chart
>>745948000My main issue with Wuwa is that currently it's just a rotation slop because of increadibly strict buff timings. Like you do a Hiyuki rotation and you MUST use certain combo every single time to be fast enough to do everything until buffs expire. All the cool shit like parry stance is completely useless outside of styling in holograms and you just do same shit over and over again without paying any attention to your enemies, The only depth of the combat is purely mechanical skill of learning more complicated rotations with quick swaps but unfortunately the interactivity with enemies is quite low.
Why are there vtuber idols on a planetary expedition civilization
>>745948137>made me realize how fucking good plunge attack wasI still have one massive issue with plunging attacks, and it demonstrates that Hypergryph haven’t made an action game before: it has no active air hitbox. You can’t hit a flying enemy while in the aerial part of a plunging attack, it only generates an active hitbox once you reach the ground.>actually engaging to exploreMaybe it’s because I’m old but exploring the new areas is probably my favourite part of every Endfield update. I love that they went with interconnected hubs instead of a full open-world map, and I love that you actually have to explore with just a single jump and a dash. Every other game that copied the BotW traversal mechanics ended up boiling exploration down to a mindless climb/glide binary, the better Endfield areas remind me of pathfinding to secrets in old games.
>>745927896>implyingEvery single gacha game is nothing but a gambling machine with minimal gameplay to suck as much money out of you as possible in exchange for more convenient "gameplay", when to start with you could not play and avoid all the headache
>>745948392I only played it for a couple of months and dropped it sometime around 2.1 or 2.2 I think, so you’d know better than me at this point. It used to be that you could do a lot of high-level action game tech to absolutely clown on bosses, sounds like those days are over. Thinking back I have no idea how I made it through the first two areas, everything before Black Shores was utterly execrable outside of the combat.
>>745946232Can I have some more random colors, I don't think those are enough?
>>745945836they did, just not in this aspect, sadly
this game is sarkaz propagandaall the prettiest women are sarkaz
>>>/vmg/
>>745949182The devs definitely have a bias.
>>745949217I play the game on ps5 now what foolThe game even has a pspro update now what foolYour monkey ass down you aren’t a jannitor
>>745949182Sarkaz women were always the bustiest and the prettiest, that's the setting.
Got tired of rebuilding shit each new update and dropped it. Still playing AK tho, at least it's fun
>>745923505>redeems itselfAin't nothing redeeming that shit gameplay, saar.
>on of the first events was literally being a janny cleaning shitI've not played this shit for months now, I had hopes for the game but it's so obvious the devs are clueless what they want to do with the game.Right now it's just a bad Genshin clone with even worse combat. The only thing the game has going for it right now is that all characters are out when fighting and the good character models.Sadly they're censored tho.
THE GOOOOODS WILL RECLAIAAAAIM WHAT I AAAAAAMHA WILL BURN WOTH THE WILLL OFFFF THE SSUUUUUNIF EVEEEERYTHINGS JUST MEANT TO EEEEEEEEEENDShit is some MGR level shit in god broski
>>745945739NTE’s plot was fine until they introduced the Scarlet Letter shit. They have to be the most half-assed villain faction I’ve ever seen and it feels like the writers gave up on them too. They’re introduced and then defeated way too quickly with zero real lasting impact and they couldn’t even think of a good way to make Zankou playable lore wise so they just gave you a ghost copy of her. It’s so bizarre.A lot of the side stories are pretty good though. Hopefully they can turn things around in the next arc.
>>745949717the villains should never have been more than Team Rocket but with anomalies
>>745936683>Arknights Endfield going to EOS >Despite pulling in half a billion dollars in half a year Lol. I don't even know why you want it to fail so badly, but your seething at it's success makes me smile.
>>745946870>the scratch card scamAlmost made me quit there and then when I saw it, because I assumed the entire game would work like that. I was thankfully quite wrong. Even things like resources recovery are forgiving, for example:>Want to level up a different cartridge to 20? >Don't have the resources, but don't really like your current cartridge!>Just use it to level the new cartridge to level 18 and a handful of resources for the next two levels!As gachas go, it's surprisingly player friendly so I don't know WTF they were thinking with the scratch cards.

Can someone explain what it is about this game that upsets the Indians?
>>745950552Oh......oh fuck..... I mean she's not that cute, but wow.....damn.
>>745950575It features automated factories so they fear for their employment.
>>745950623its fine, shes very nice and, allegedly, doesnt eat people, despite it being mandatory for the ghouls
>>745949561>Right now it's just a bad Genshin clone with even worse combat.Genshin is one of the worse Genshin clones nowadays. It's carried by being the first game of its type (Zelda obviously doesn't count as it's not gacha) and multiple titles outdo it, Endfield included.
>>745950683A nice slice of cake is worth 1,000 bodies.
Nachzehrer?
>>745947331they'll be gutting that shit due to cn mobileshitters complaining, as usual
>>745950223That’s the only reason I haven’t dropped NTE at the moment. It’s very generous with pull currency and the no 50/50 makes it hard to go back to other games. I’ve gotten every limited character so far without spending a dime, except for Iroi and that’s only because I didn’t have much time to play while she was up.
>>745950575Honestly I have no fucking idea. Some kind of tribal loyalty to Wuthering Waves and a fear that Endfield might displace its earnings is the best I can come to.
>>745949880It's doing fine but it's also performing worse than the original Arknights despite having a significantly larger budget.
>>745950721>FACTOR.IOfield included>WOODEN COMBATfield included>ERIDIUMfield included>SWITCHSLOPfield included>TRIED TO BE TWO THINGS AT ONCE AND FAILED AT BOTH OF THEM MISERABLYfield>FORTNITEfield includedbuh.......b-buh-buh-buh-BWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

>>745951210get with the times, manwe Death Stranding now
>>745951094Source for that? Sensor tower doesn't count since it doesn't account for 60% of revenue from PC/consoles
>>745951129>SWITCHSLOPThank you for self-reporting that you have no idea what you’re talking about.
>>745951129Yes.
>>745951094Well the OG Arknights was a 2D phone game, so development was always going to be cheaper. As for the rest... I genuinely don't know why you people lie so easily.OG Arknights pulled in 170 million dollars in it's first six months - by all accounts a money printer.But Enfield pulled in well over double that. Even if Endfield's dev costs were 400 million dollars, they're still already turning a profit. Stop lying.
>>745951287>switch to characters once their gauges are full >rinse and repeat for "combos">calls this immersive gameplay>to make matters worse this dumbass here probably got tendies on the brainAs expected of autism.
>>745951441>but if you compare a major flagship title after half a decade of development to a fucking indie studios very first game it's good!kek
>>745951272There isn’t one. The only concrete numbers we have are:>cleared $160 million on launch>cleared $460 million in revenue as of 1.4’s launch>clears an average of $15 million/month since launch on Epic Game Store aloneI think it’s doing just fine based on those numbers but jeets and seapags gonna jeet and seapag based on hallucinationtower’s numbers.

>>745951471and Genshin is better how again?
>>745951169>>745951343Y'all silly. Genshin has guns now. Elemental Warfare is canon.

>>745926161don't forget the sloppa penguinand the paypal fiasco
And a piss poor attempt at authenticity...
>the only decent combat experience in endfield is a game mode that only appears about once every dozen weeks if not more.how about they make the combat in the main game half as good as the event.and how about they add depth to the rest of the game mechanics in this 3d exploration game.
>>745951591My memory was hazy. I deleted the game sometime before the loli dropped. I thought you did switch. The gameplay still isn't good. Pressing a directional button to have a teammate use their skill is stupid and liking the boring ass factory building when you'll probably afk farm all of the necessary materials within a day WHILE adding new structures that'll either complicate the farming methods or become obsolete at some point proves how smooth-brained you and the rest of the playerbase are.
I want to lick his back.
>>745952034Post your CC clear.
>>745952034I think the only smooth-brained one here is you, Alzheimy. You activate skills with a modifier+face buttons, not directional buttons. Also sorry you got utterly filtered by babymode Factorio.
>>745952201Then how about the break system? That one I actually remember. Wuwa did it better imo.
>>745952494It works just fine? Filling the stagger bar lets you perform a special high-damage attack and gives you a short window to dump damage if you’ve been managing your SP and ultimate charge. Bosses have multiple sub-stagger nodes before hitting full stagger that give you some brief opportunities for extra damage. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here besides that you probably should stick to Genshin/Wuwa because you can’t handle anything more in-depth.
>>745952803Hey, genshin is plenty in depth when you try tackling the hardest content, it's only wuwa that you play with your eyes closed.
>>745947331the crosshair not adjusting to show when it'll hit cover in 3rd person mode is annoying but other than that this is a fully featured TPS
>>745949717I just gave up at NTE 1.3. They can't write narrative framing and there's never any setup.
>>745950721>Genshin is one of the worse Genshin clones nowadaysIt's a decent game when you take it for what it is, but when you roll into it the online element, refusal to ever change anything (at least up until 7.0), crazy narrative whiplash, lack of actual elemental puzzles, combat that doesn't change, the entire thing gets bogged down.
>>745953565zankou hot tho
>>745953678Zankou sexy as shit and the horror elements in the game are great (when the quest marker isn't there), but the whole point of pushing 999 Nights forward was to work on 1.3, but they're making the same story mistakes again.
>>745953565>>745949717The devs knew the plot and Scarlet Letter stuff was shit. That was the whole reason why the board game patch released before the actual story patch. During the livestream before it they openly admitted that they delayed it specifically because of feedback criticizing the story so they probably rewrote it to end it quicker instead of dragging it out, which is why everything felt so abrupt.So hopefully they actually learn to that and step up their game or realize that they’re just not cut out to writing high stakes plots. Like other anons have said the side stories are good and the plot works best when it’s just dealing with random anomaly stuff.
>>745952803The problem is everything feels like an afterthought. Like, they took a bunch of ideas, meshed them together with the best of intent, then executed it in a real half assed way. I tried to like it, even saved all my rolls for Yvonne, but damn if it just didn't tick for me. At least the original didn't pretend to be anything but a tower defense game at its core. This one just has all substance, no style, and elements that just aren't meant to be together. It's like Star Wars with Metallica's soundtrack, but directed by Wes Anderson. This is that kind of game.
Arknights Genshittifield
>>745954004Eh, I think it was the new area, watercraft, etc. that took more time and not the story. 1.1 was pretty solid, yeah 1.2 was mediocre, but I don't have a huge problem yet. if the story keeps failing, well, the gameplay is still enjoyable, can't have everything.
>>745954006I honestly enjoyed the fantasy RP stuff. I think NTE would be better off doing one-offs like that then instead of having an overarching antagonist like Scarlet Letter. The stuff they are doing with Zero is fine though with the fact that they aren't quite right in the head and will quickly resort to mass murder.
>>745954386Yeah, that’s why I really hope they get things together. I genuinely enjoy the world and there’s a lot of nice characters moments, so it sucks that the first major arc kind of flopped.The anomaly angle opens up so much cool stuff especially when they use it to play around with the actual gameplay and presentation.
>>745954567>they use it to play around with the actual gameplay and presentation.that's my favorite part of anomalies, like the gameplay shifts in Nier games
for me, it's the rates. some of the worst pulls rates in a gacha game.
>>745953654Genshin was okay when the game had an identity and stuck to it, tho the story was in increasingly desperate need of editing, but they flushed it fully down the toilet in 7.0. First they tried (and probably failed) turning the game into fucking Roblox, but at least that wasn't mandatory. Then they go and cram Fortnite/GoW shit into it in some kind of fucking Disneyland, all during the msq. At least I finally got to experience what cute aggression must feel like with those asshole jack frost fuckin things
Its crazy how much money they spent on this game, all the extreme advertisements, the quality character models and more.Yet they have no idea what they want the game to be.
>>745957310Seems pretty defined to me.
>>745955018It's the lack of pity carryover. Fucking insane, I held on for awhile but hitting the hard pity just once under that system fucking kills any desire because you know its gonna be fucking ages before you can even try again
>>745954025>This one just has all substance, no style, and elements that just aren't meant to be together. It's like Star Wars with Metallica's soundtrack, but directed by Wes Anderson. This is that kind of game.
>>745957310They played it way too safe somehow, which made both the AK and the open world gacha crowds wish it was bolder.We're starting to see a shift of AAA gachas slowly getting out of the genshin orbit (which is overcrowded anyway) and trying to do their own thing but Endfield just aint it. I liked it but it didn't lean hard enough into the things that made it unique.Unrelated but something that seems insane to me is how all these gachas that pretty much copied genshin's elements, character swap and general feel completely missed the mark on the elemental system, they all turned it into an artificial restriction when genshin made it something experimental and creative, opening up a lot of options. It's so weird but now that has pretty much become a staple of gachas to have 3/4 of your roster being dogshit against a specific enemy just because they're not the one element it's weak to.
>>745951094Honestly when you put it this way it seems like a flop, or at least severely underperforming when a game that takes like 95% less budget makes more money
>>745958056Pity carryover is whatever honestly, what kills the gacha is the lack of guarantees after you lose the 50 and the atrocious weapon banner that punishes you for being lucky.
I love endfield so much it hurts so its nice to see it getting some love after the jeet hate campaign because they're too dumb for the factory
>>745940376>I'm a newfagnobody asked but okay
I'm reinstalling for the 140cm onahole
>>745958056I like the game in general but the lack of pity carryover makes the monetization feel so miserable that it kills my desire to play
>>745960730>another sarkazim sensing a biaswheres the big booty latina lizard women at?
>>745950782wife
>>745960840It never bothered me because I've always played every single gacha with the idea that if I want a character I'd better have a full guarantee worth of pulls saved. I've actually been pretty lucky in my unluck in endfield, because while I never got anyone before guarantee, I managed to snipe some limited I had skipped. Sure I'd prefer having carryover so I can throw a tenner at every banner for fun but realistically it doesn't change a thing for me.
I've been listening to the latest boss's OST on repeat for a week, send help
is there any known date for when it's coming to steam other than "coming soon"?i'm interested in the game because the visuals look really nice and i heard the music is great too, and stuff like the factory is neat. i don't know anything about it gameplay-wise though. i've played ZZZ and genshin if any of those have similarities
>>745963704Probably with the release of 1.6 in October but I wouldn't wait1.6 will be a core patch so I'd start now with 1.5 so you can catch up and take your time, get some freebies that are still available and then swap to steam whenever its releasedAs for combat, its different from other gacha because you have all your team on the field. Its more akin to xenoblade if you've played that. Really fun at high level combat imo
>>745960840Just gotta save up to guarantee when you pull on characters you like. Thankfully they've put out several designs I have no interest in.
>>745945836Not everyone enjoys turn based slop like you
>>745964030>1.6 will be a core patch so I'd start now with 1.5 so you can catch up and take your time,yea i downloaded it on epic then saw it was coming to steam so i'll probably start there for a bit>more akin to xenobladei played XBC1 so sounds neat
>>745963704>and i heard the music is great tooIt's good but it's the blending into background kind most of the time. You won't stop to listen to it very often. I wanted to post a few links but they either don't sound as good without context or contain minor spoilers.
I don't give a shit about this game but I want to headpat Rossi
>>745947581if by "free" you mean "as a bonus when you buy gacha coins from EGS", then yes
>>745930039>30 hours of your life wasted over a year's worth of time on dailiesi'd rather jerk off, play an actual video game or shitpost on 4chan
>>745969210Again, if you dislike the game entirely, you should not play it. I'm working under the assumption you like the factory, events or story.
>>745960730>another sarkazWhen do we get to have a skip banner? Sarkaz women are sucking me dry. ...The rolls, I mean.
>>745955018its unironically, mathematically, better than most 3d gachas other than NTE though
i tried Endfield and i didn't think it was good, but it's also so high quality from a technical perspective compared to everything else that instead of being the Genshin killer that i was hoping for, it was a suicide bomber that killed itself and took every other gacha i could have enjoyed with it, in a way, this game released me from playing shitty gachas, and for that i am thankful.
