https://vxtwitter.com/heiankyo_327/status/1862318629045641691so it seems we get to fight mecha king kong
>>1623025just saw the trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KeN9CeJQi0(you) game or just chuck fest?
>>1626956>FeMCIt's gonna be "ebery characters habe their own life" BS, while not having any characters in the open world (time limited events doesn't count). Oh, well. More reason to pick FeMC then use lewd mod.
>>1627265Considering every single piece of video footage they use seems to have male MC, all of the trailers use male MC hanging out with the female characters; and they just have a single pic that lets you know that female MC even exists as an optioon. I'm more inclined to believe it's going be like Wuthering Waves. And then almost every single female character patch (which is basically every patch) you get people complaining about how devs need to implement gender swapping because they chose female mc and now all the character stories are weird
spotted a mesugaki on a billboard in the trailer, maybe playable?
>>1626956>eng dubDisgusting
>Net EaseWill be a high quality game but with terrible gacha practices (g*nshin tier) and badly mismanaged
>FeMCThey clearly ain't having any homo banners from looking at that trailer alone. Why would they even include this option when there isn't gonna a bootleg otomege stuff in the game?
>>1627541There's a homo in the official site. Make of that what you wish.
>>1627586>There's a homo in the official siteNot showing that faggot in the trailer is just straight up malicious & deceptive. I hope this game gets stabbed right up the ass in profits.
>>1627590>start creating a new mixed toilet game during the gayshit frenzy>mixed toilet bubble bursts>hide all gacha men and pretend it's a self insert game aimed at menIt's not the first mixed toilet gacha that does that too.
>>1627590>Not showing that faggot in the trailer is just straight up malicious & deceptivehe is in the trailer you self-righteous personatard
>>1627590he's in the trailer, blind retard
Fell in love since the original PV. I still love the setting and the characters, the whole thing feels just the right kind of crazy for me and I dig the urban sci-fantasy stuff. I'm excited that they've added a FeMC option as I do generally prefer to play as FeMC when possible.What I don't dig is that they re-designed the MCs to look more like the Star Rail MCs. Not really sure why, I think the original design was perfectly fine, do they really think it will help with marketing? I would've preferred if they kept it more distinctive from the other games (to the extent that a generic MC design can be). Also, indeed, >NetEase. I will play this, I will love the visuals and cut-scenes, and I will absolutely abhor the gacha/dailies element of it. Oh well, not the first time, I survived Nexon-managed Blue Archive somehow.
Also, while inevitable because zoomers, the skibidi-like stuff nonetheless makes me raise an eyebrow. Hope there's not a lot of it.
>>1627327>and now all the character stories are weirdWeird in the right way if you ask me.
>>1627717I dont think they'll ever shake off the copied HSR MC's stigma
>>1623377That whole scene reminded me of this gemhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mMxPwLl8JQ
>NetEase sues HSR for plagiarism>proceeds to plagiarize HSR's MCsThe ironing.
im gonna try ananta when its out
Uh oh, they are here
>>1627767surprisingly seems like alot of people are booing them
>>1627767Yes, criminally cute feet
>>1627630>>1627714NTA but he wasn't in the newest Announce Trailer. In fact they only highlighted the girls.>>1627740Gigachad move right there.
>>1627798he is there moron
>>1627541The blonde homo from reveal PV are still there, bwo.
>>1627844>appears for less than a second totalYou're right, he's in the trailer but it's incredibly easy to miss.
>>1627844but sire, my narrative...
>>1627717>>1627740Isn't the first design actually the one that similar to HSR design? The second ones only have the hair color that similar. I don't play HSR tho so it's only from few pic/ss that I saw. >>1627327I don't play WuWa but I heard the writing are similar to Snobble? I guess I'll just pick male MC.
>>1627844>Appears for a very little time and is barely noticed unless you actively seek him>Isn't even given emphasis at the end unlike the girlsYeeeah, Netease is totally being honest to goodness not pulling off a bait and switch.
>The Fujos are NOT HAPPYHow do we save Atlanta city?
>>1627927Good>b-but eosDon't care because I'm always f2p on gacha shit
>>1627908He unironically feels like the MC's obligatory single male friend, especially in the theater section where MC is surrounded by the female characters and then he's sitting by himself a few seats away. So it's only a bait and switch if they then put a ton of focus on him in game when so far out of what, like 10 girls we only have exactly 1 confirmed male character.>>1627861In how pandering it is yea; complete with the constant reddit/twitter seethe about incels and gross fanservice. The first female character was more "Oh, hot girl on screen. Oh she ties you up with her electric strings". But it ramped like crazy after that, though I don't play it anymore Way too much grinding, and it had RNG stat grinding so it wasn't even "Just grind like 5 hours and then you're done forever", also dailies were annoying>MC is basically a God who every few hundred years descends to earth to save everyone and LARP as a Human for awhile before returning to Heaven to his Goddess Wife>Second girl was revived by your pet Dragon after she died as a child and then it groomed her into being (Your) wife since it knew you would return soon>Third girl is a phoenix who can nuke everything around her but will lose her memories when she revives, but doesn't actually forget her memories about (You). And then it turns out her teacher was your student, who was grooming her into being (Your) wife>Fourth girl I had already quit by then by a painter who loves painting (You) and is seething that her college denied her artwork>Fifth girl has been in love with (You) for several hundred years and has been waiting for you to descend to earth again>Sixth girl has been in love with (You) for multiple lifetimes or something
>>1627844goodhe looks just like mestay mad, tiny dick shitskin/chink
>>1623025My main reason for trying a new gacha is always having a character that I really want to getIn genshin it was klee, in wuwa it was jianxinHere in Ananta it will be Dila, I really like her design
>>1628005>want someone from standard banner>game gives you free selector right away>take said character for a walk>got bored>uninstallcomfy
>>1628003bait used to be believable or at least funny. It's sad that the average IQ of internet user are below room temp now.
>>1628043are you still mad, shitskin/chink?
>>1627997>MC is basically a GodWhy do Chinese gacha games do that almost every single time?
Gamers are NOT HAPPY about the ratio
Unreleased maid character
>>1628216I'm honestly not sure what they expect in the age of gender-targeted games. It's always either a waifu-first game or a husbando-first game, Genshin is an exception and even that skews significantly towards waifu.
Wait, was this really the original design for the FeMC? I can kind of understand that they might've been worried it's a bit too ZZZ but... damn, literal perfection. Shame they changed it.
>>1628205Honestly, much prefer to it to the ~20 years or so where all we got were japanese protags who were useless at everything but were "kind" (except not really, they're usually a huge dickhead that's a shittier person than literally every single other character that shows up and isn't explicitly a mustache-twirling villain) which really only started to stop when china and korea starting copying japan
>>1628216Kek they know the sisters swipe less
>>1628216Literally no side understands why they have him there. It doesn't make sense at all.
>>1628216gaymers
Ananta has a feedback button in the official page btw.
>>1628574That's basically the same as posting to /dev/null. No big company gives a shit about what people say, they just look at the analytics.
>>1628580Better than nothing, and if they see global posting the same thing chinks are saying then they might consider to make changes.
>>1628581What changes? The game isn't even out, ffs
>>1628639ESL?
>>1628650Retard?
>>1628654I accept your concession, ESL.
>MC already has a set appearanceWhy can't we have protag customization in any new game ever...?I'd at least want to look like an adult ikemen than another minimally designed not!LN protagonist.
>>1628662Customization is a form of freedom of expression and they kinda don't have that in China.
>>1628662tof had that feature, along with using gacha weapons on your created characteri dont know why other gacha companies didnt copy that feature since these bugmen are known for copying shit all the time
>>1628662>>1628692Anything that even pretends to have a story will never do it because they need to rely on the MC being recognizable in their trailers, and then in peoples' fanart and screenshots to shill the game on social media. And live-service games depend heavily on the game looking "alive" on social media.Kinda hard to easily tell that someone's 5 foot tall twink manlet, and someone else's 300 pound landwhale creature with a blue and pink hair are supposed to be the same person
>trailer/teaser reception totally mogs NtEWhat's the chance that all those "mugen is cancelled" rumors came from NtE devs?
>>1628205Koreans also kinda do it, is the plot of horizon walker. Here's a wuwa cosplay, (we) are the emperor
>>1628216I don't understand this. If they are going to add so few males, might as well go all out and make it a ML game with only females.
>>1629329>might as well go all out and make it a ML game with only femalesThe only hope for that to happen would be the game to nearly go EOS in its first month. And even then there's still the ongoing issue of the femc bringing in the yurinegro plague right after.
>>1629335For me the most problematic thing is that if we can choose female MC, we can't have romance in the game. Is going to be the same shit as mihoyo games, wuwa, or blue archive, zero romance or commitment.
>>1629335>The only hope for that to happen would be the game to nearly go EOS in its first monthNot a real solution because Alan would still be there. If you're not sending feedback about removing him then you're part of the problem.
>>1629337tbf, blue archive while not full on romance there is still the aspects in the momotalks despite what trannies say cause momos are canon. and wuwa surprisingly there is alot of it at least with shorekeeper and camellya.
>>1629363That's cool and all, but then... nothing happens. No kiss, no nothing. A girls is literally undressing in front of sensei, and what doe she do? Run away from the room. Same in wuwa, the girls don't even hug rover, let alone confess their love or a kiss or anything. The one time "love" was mentioned (from shorekeeper), it was an EN mistranslation.
>>1629373true true, i sadly doubt this game will have any romance or if it does itll be tame like Blue archive. i really wish games would stop with the male and female and just go with male
>that faggot mental freak from gachashit drama thread is seething here as wellkeknormal people dont cry like trannies when they see male characters in gacha gamessorry that your poop-colored slant-eyed ass is triggered, but the game will still have male characters
>>1629392The game does seem to be pretty clearly showing that they're going MC-pandering route, but they just can't bring themselves to completely cut-off the possibility of the female/yurimale audience I guess.Literally almost 100% of the scenes have MC in them (ignoring the wide views/cutscenes that are meant to show off how big the city is obviously).In the new trailer, a lot of people missed some of these unless they went back and watched slowly but>Aileen is playing Mahjong with MC>Alan seems to be playing basketball with MC on his team>Pink haired girl is trying to take a sneaky picture of MC+cops>MC with the girl playing dartsAnd then there's these which may or may not actually be some ingame mechanic but,>The 1st person POV shots of Aileen being embarrassed and Lykaiai offering (You) a drinkAnd it was like even in the original first trailer too>All of the girls huddled up next to MC in the movie theater>Dila being alone with MC on the rooftop with the sparklers and fireworks in what looks like an important cutscene
>>1629548which if they are going the male pandering route then im excited. i
>>1623025I watched the trailer for this and it looks really neat, but I saw people shitting on NetEase for being a bad publisher. any examples?
>>1627590This seems to be a common tactic in recent trailers.>trailer shows only girls>there is a playable dude but it either doesn't show him or shows him for a split secondWhy do they do this? Men will just be disappointed when they see it and fujos won't pick up a game if they don't see any males anyway.
>>1629580Nothing off the top of my head, but iirc it's the usual>Publisher made the rates / monetization dogshit even if the game itself was fun which killed a legitimately fun game because they were too greedy
>>1629591The same reason mihomo and the rest of mixed gender trash does it.>want to pander to women/shippers and fags>said groups don't buy shit>only option left is to bait straight men into funding their shitMihomo especially has done it in all their major games(Sumeru and onwards in Genshin, HSR has multiple yuri/yaoi pairs, Jane in ZZZ)
>>1629337>>1629373>mixed gender can't have romanceFGO>if the girls don't jump on your dick it's not panderingHello tourist.
>>1629603FGO is japanese, not chinese, so it doesn't has that problem.What's the point of pandering if it doesn't lead to a romance? to love ru, tenchi muyo, and all those series are shit because despite being labeled as "harem", nothing ever happens. Modern harems have the MC fuck and impregnate all his women, I'm not asking for that, but fuck man, at least show a kiss on screen. At least FGO has implied sex (like nikki and AL, but those aren't mixed toilet).
Some ppl think these could be character story quest scenes
>>1629655Yeah and notice how they omitted the homo.
i wonder if we will ever get a male protagonist game that has high budget like mihomo budget. cause snowpeak isnt super high budget and nikke is meh
>>1629662Who knows. If we got it we could have real (You) pandering, like with Horizon Walker.I can tolerate more tame normalfag shit but it gets boring after a while. We'll see how Ananta and Azur Promilia handle it.
>>1629664with ananta hopefully they do (you) pandering. i really dont have faith in azur promilia cause manjew isnt the same anymore. plus they mostly only shown the stupid femc
>>1629666We only have one trailer for Azur Promilia anyway. I think we should wait for the new marketing wave before judging.
>>1629653Pandering in gachas has almost always been one sided, if the girl shows interest you can fill in the rest.
>>1629669true
>>1623025I'll be impressed if it runs even at a stable 30 FPS on mobile.
>>1629666No shit, nobody wants to play a game like this as some generic self-insert guy. Stick to your POV games.
>>1629759I hope you get your google play card.
>>1629764I hope you discover that 90% of the internet is porn and stop trying to force it into every mobile game.
>I want more (you) pandering games>"just watch porn!"Ah yes, wanting the girls to be more (You) equals porn. What's next, go get a girlfriend?
>>1629853*for (You)
>>1629848nta but I'm already bored of porn and irl womens (real nasty bitches). There's already a lot of "normal" open world and I'm bored of it too. It's about time for a real (you) pandering with fanservice open world slop to be made. Rise of Eros and subverse are a major disappointment and Fanza only make low effort gacha or VN.
>>1629887There's also this upcoming erotic 18+ gatcha Horizon Walker. Looks like koreas are getting more bold with pushing for fanservice.
>>1629373>The one time "love" was mentioned (from shorekeeper), it was an EN mistranslation.Not really. Problems was that many to hatsly assume that she meant Romantic love. When Love can also be platonic.
I play a lot of DMM/Fanza porn harem gacha games but playing with the male MC in a these games where you can't fuck or even kiss the girls is stupid. So I always pick the FeMC.
>>1629998but youre still cucking yourself by picking the femc
>>1629998Same. Especially for this game the stockings are too good to pass on.
>>1629998Are there DMM/Fanza harem gacha games that have the FeMC option but aren't otome games?
>>1629887>It's about time for a real (you) pandering with fanservice open world slop to be madesomething that never happens in the history of anything. porn is a niche that will always remain a sim or vn thing
>>1630164I can't think of any game with a FeMC in there.

How do we convince them to delete Alan from the game?
Invest. Sovless changs only talk in yuan.
>>1630512maybe you should delete yourself off the planet instead, brownoid
uh oh pag melty
>>1630512thats impossible, you would need a lot of outrage in China to convince Netease to do it but the only ones who could mobilize to do that are the ML chinks but they just dont give a shit about ananta,just wait for azur promilia like everyone else
>>1630579Yeah, not sure why they crept outside of their gossip containment thread to complain about men existing again.
>>1630512I can't even imagine how ugly you must be with insecurities like this
>>1630512Convince the chinks somehow. I've already sent them feedback about it anyway.
>>1630512Alan is a waifu for gays and not ntr so it's ok
I'm doing my part.

>>1630700>scummiest rates imaginable and shut down in two yearsThat's squenixNetease's original IPs have good longevity
>>1630636Yeah maybe I should just skip Ananta and wait for AP instead, not wanna risk another shitshow caused by omnipandering slop.

>>1631075Wait until they learn this genre exists outside of shitty casino games.
>>1631006And what made you think AP won't have the same shit show? The obly correct way is to avoid any chink gacha.
>>1631075>JP dubThank fucking God, the current global version is fucking dogshit.
>>1631075>Jin-tanIs the MC named Jin?
>>1631104Maybe because they're literally removing the female MC SPECIFICALLY to avoid this kind of controversies?
>>1631116No? I think you just misheard "Nii-chan" since that came from the "sister" heroine. The MC's name is whatever the player gives him.
>>1631107whats the global version like? i never played it>>1631118azur promilia is removing the femc? big if true. hopefully they keep male mc then
>>1631134Thanks. I'll pick it up then.BTW, It's around 0:26 and after using CC auto-translate, it's translated as a "human body".
>>1631137>whats the global version like? i never played itIt's better not know anything than to know, it'll ruin your first experience. Just wait until the SEA version comes out.>azur promilia is removing the femc?That's a fucking lie. In a RL biliworld event months ago they still advertised the game with femc.
>>1631153damn, i was hopeful for a sec.
>>1631153That's just because they used the old trailer. We don't know if female MC is still in or not.
>>1631118It' chink, there's gonna be other shitshow. Let's pray no "rogue employee" planting a tiananmen reference into the game lol.

New gacha from Yostarhttps://x.com/StellaSoraJP/status/1869201044263354696
>>1635119https://stellasora.global/female only gacha with male/female choice for MC (again)all recent waifu games have a female/male MC choice, but husbando games are allowed to have only a female MCrecently I've seen a lot of Chinese who have the impression that waifu game devs are ashamed of being waifu games and therefore put a female MC to limit the romance aspect
>>1635128Would be nice if the male MC actually has good design but that one isn't cutting it.
>>1635119Is this Project rx?
>>1635177Unrelated.
>>1635128They put them because guys like girls. This must be really hard to grasp for someone that wants to play as a dude in a husband game.
>>1635183dont even botherthat schizonigger paggot has been screaming about this for monthssometimes he cries about muh mixed toilet, then he cries about female mc
>>1635128Is the MC even playable?
>>1635183>This must be really hard to grasp for someone that wants to play as a dude in a husband game.Who would even want that?
>>1635128>female only gacha with male/female choice for MC (again)>female onlyYeah about that
>>1635283on the english website it only talks about girls, it's probably your auto translation that got it wrong, and the boy and girl part is only for the MC on your picture
>>1623025i am honestly only gonna wait for this or heartopia, whichever one releases first or whichever one is more funi am done with big damage numbers slop with button mash visual novel slogi dont mind the idea of gacha when it's for a casual game where my progress (or rewards) isn't locked out due to not having meta characters
>>1635298NTA but Aether gazer also only showed girls at the beginning then added homos later on, baiting everyone. This shit already smells like mix toilet game
Why can't the trend of choosing the MCs gender die already? I miss when it would just be canon male
>>1635595Play your shitty POV games then, nobody wants to explore a world as some lame ass dude.There's a reason RPGs have let you change the overworld character for the past 30 years.
>>1635603Metaphor says hi.
>>1635603But the MC isn't even playable in Stellar Sora.
>>1635603Then just swap to a female character for overworld? If that's your only problem with it then whether the MC is male or female doesn't affect you and hasn't for 30 years, why the fuck do you care at all?
>>1635609There's only one person crying about this in every thread on the board and it's not me.
>>1635617You are crying about his crying though.
>>1635603is the tranny mad? go back to r*ddit nigger
>>1635603True. Because there's a rise of transexual case.
>>1623025I like exploring landscapes in these open world games so one big city is concerning. What I do hope they do however is get a team of architects to design a shitload of cool buildings that would be impossible or prohibitively expensive to build and give a similar but unique appeal that way. They can even do different "maps" and use different styles like gothic, art deco, etc.
>>1635796Devs say they want to make one city a year, and it's procedurally generated like that UE5 Matrix tech
>>1635796these type of games will always get new explorable areas, just like genshinthe question is whether they will be unique enough to encourage explorationi have to say, genshin overworld design is really great, but i just dont like the fantasy stuffi am pretty excited to see how mugen designs its urban overworld

>>1638512>but it has mixed toilet so I doubt anyone here will careIndeed.
>>1638516These games started production two or three years ago during Gayshit fever. Like the woke western games it's too late to change direction so all they can do is release their mixed toilet games and try to make at least some money back.2025 gonna be a bloodbath for gacha.
>>1638516The trend of trying to release actual games but kneecapped by shitty gacha mechanics? Who knows, it's probably because of government regulations.
Etheria Restart beta on January 9. HSR clone but is more instanced so dungeon design gets more love, also stealth in the field and more combat animations. Another mixed toilet though as you can see from the picrel.https://etheria.xd.com/us

>>1639790>>1639798Blue-haired girl seems to be new; the other two were already teased.Pink-haired from over a year ago in early artwork, and then showed up again in the recent trailerBlonde was new to the recent trailer I believe
>>1639790>lactation
>>1637146Are you seriously implying djetta and gudako aren't the queens of yuri gacha LMAO
>>1638512It's mobile only
>>1639324TW account is legit, now have to wait for the JP and EN accounts to post something
>>1639324>>1640617Is this the fucking rabi meme artist?
>>1640621Not really. The Rabi meme artist (Diyap) was once part of the dev team during the game's initial development and release back in 2021 (1st picrel is Diyap's work), but left the next year after the game had to get sent back to the drawing board due to its disastrous launch. The developer then found someone who could mimic his artstyle and that's what you're seeing in the 2nd picrel.
>>1639324>ChibiMeh
>>1640662yeah because that's the game's whole bit, the units (You) command are naturally midgets while (You)'re an isekai MC that got conscripted into becoming a religious leader while keeping your normal proportions so (You)'re basically a giant to them
>>1627541>>1627590Can you explain why P5X failed?
>>1623025heartopia set for pc releasenow we just wait for global client
>>1640705I thought this came out years ago.
>>1640544dunno about djeet but most gudako porn are her getting dicked by male servants or no face niggas.
>>1637419>Having an actual game industry that isn't comprised entirely of predatory gachashit.True for general console gaming but in terms of anime games they barely have any titles worth playing.
lol.lmao.
>>1640764>mobile onlyShame I wanted to play POE with cute girls
>>1640764the bots...
I'm hoping the male mc gets his harem since we all know they won't remove the femc. If wuwa and even a mihomo game like zzz is giving the male mc romantic interests why can't this
>>1640764those numbers make sense though since it's far off from release with a beta by next week
>>1640764>need to choose between skin or 10 rollswhat kind of bs is this?
>>1643583>safe romance is not real romance
>>1640685>Isekai MC but (you) can't fuck with character because (you) are giants for midgetcelNo thanks. i'll stick with walker horizon
HelloI am a boy liker, I like boysAre there any boy focused gachas coming out soon? No mixed toilets please. I'm misogynistic.
>>1643779
>>1643583The existence of Alan probably denies that
>>1643922probably. but i can have hope

happy new year!what phone games are you looking forward to?i cant wait for ananta, roco kingdom, and heartopia, although i think ananta would be hellish to play on phonesmaybe a switch 2 release?
>>1644539Only Ananta and Endfield looks goode enough to me so far. I'm gonna play it on PC though.
>>1644539For me it'll be Azur Promilia and maybe Duet Night Abyss.
>>1644539I'm waiting for Uma global
>>1644539Honestly Ananta is the only game on my radar. It looks like it has some cool concepts. Not a huge fan of any of the characters though, besides the lazy bunny with big thighs.
>>1644539roco and probably rx and ananta are the ones with sovl
>>1644598rx?
>>1644649project rx, blue archive's new sister game
>>1644539Trickcal and Goddess Order
>end of registration for betaJanuary 8th>start of the betaJanuary 16thAlso the newest gameplay videohttps://youtu.be/UbMmSdOJ1Ho?si=gxglBUTbQc98sF2Q
Should I reinstall wuwa to try out Rinascita? I only had time for one action game so I dropped it for ZZZ because the combat there was a ton better but I got some time for the holidays.ZZZ definitely fixed a ton of issues they had at launch and turned into a better game so I hope wuthering waves did too.
>>1645181for me, if i miss out even a single day in a fomo gacha, i just forget it forever
>>1644539Ananta and maybe Project RX is all really.I'll try Trickal mostly for the memes, and might try Duet Night Abyss depending on when they release; but I'm not particularly excited for them or anything
>>1644539>>1644557>>1644589>>1644598>>1645244>AnantaNo one here is excited for NTE?
>>1645248hottait feels like a cheap reskin of genshin, but now with an urban themethey also removed the character customization feature from tower of fantasy that let us players use gacha weapons on our created characters, so i already have no interest in itand the character designs are disgustingwhy are chinks obsessed with overdesigned vtumorslop? do they not complain about the character designs? or do they just accept slop to stay low on their ccp surveillance system?
>>1645261>overdesigned vtumorslopThere's also a furry now, which seems to a new trend for them.
>>1645248The Ananta trailer killed what little interest I had in it desu.
>>1645248personally I'm really looking forward to it, but there's a number of potential issues that have been revealed with the beta test, main one being optimization and hardware requirements. I'm also looking forward to Ananta as well and I'll probably play both, though NTE will probably come out a lot sooner
>>1644539Waiting for hoyo's animal crossing clone, and popucom (if it ends up on phone like ex astris since it's from the same developer)I don't know, heartopia also looks interesting but will probably not release globally since it has been out in China for months nowI am so done with waifushit sloppa
>>1644539Ananta just for the spiderman movement. The GTA elements are guaranteed to be shitty and bland because this is aimed at children.
chinks just came out of the offline beta test for ananta. phones were confiscated before entering so theres no footage, but reception is mostly positive, they claim that most the content in the trailer has been realised
>>1646437If that's true, then I'm pretty impressed. What they showed us in the trailer was pretty ambitious.
>>1646393>The GTA elements are guaranteed to be shitty and bland because this is aimed at children.trueare people seriously expecting this to let players commit crimes, kill people, pull heists, do drugs fuck hookers or something? lol
>>1646582Yes.
>>1646393>The GTA elements are guaranteed to be shitty and bland because this is aimed at children.More like made in China. GTA is banned in China and games aren't allowed to have mechanics that involve wanton destruction or murder. It sounds like mugging people and stealing stuff is about as bad as things can get in Ananta.
>>1646603it's going to be genshin, but in an urban citythere will be zero crime elements
>>1646437Neat. I'll be looking forward to more in depth news about it. If they really did pull all that off and it's not just a bunch of easily impressed dudes they pulled then that's awesome.
>>1646437>they claim that most the content in the trailer has been realisedNot too surprising considering that most of it was literally shown with in-game gameplay, just with the UI disabledThough I still wonder whether a lot of the "mini-game" type stuff actually feels good to play / is a meaningful part of the game or if it they just added them in to bloat the features
>>1646816They said the mini-games were fun to play at least. Funny enough people said combat was kind of lackluster and not very engaging, which is potentially a big problem.
>>1646924absolutely no one is surprised therelike any other chinese anime waifu game, it will have that swap - spam buttonmash gameplayanyone expecting this to have gta-like missions (scripted sequences for example) and gameplay (enemies dying to single headshots or explosions, enemies being crippled after you hurt them, utilizing environment or vehicles to hurt enemies) is a moron
>Unlike GTA, players cannot attack NPCs. However, there's extensive object interaction - players can carry NPCs, take away chairs NPCs are sitting on, and grab NPCs' phones (though NPCs resist if you try to steal them). You can knock an NPC's smartphone out of their hands and peek into its contents. It is possible to spy on a vast history of chat logs, leading to speculation that AI generation technology might be in use. To add, it seems to mean that you can do all sorts of bad things to NPCs, like punching them or shooting them, but you can't damage them (you can't kill them or knock them down). It does not mean that they can slip through like in a typical gacha game.I've been wondering if any gachas were going to try to bust out some basic AI to cover some basic filler stuff. It'll be interesting if Ananta is the first one to try it.
>>1647076>Characters have customizable outfits, with clothing compatibility between characters of the same gender. For example, once you obtain a swimsuit, it can be worn by all female characters. Parts of each costume can be disassembled and combined freely.>There are reports of an AI conversation system with NPCs similar to other NetEase games (Note: This is only confirmed by one leaker, so I cannot verify this with certainty).>Regarding criminal behavior: While you cannot harm NPCs, there is a vehicle requisition system implemented that allows you to take any vehicle in the city. You can collide with other vehicles, but this accumulates crime points, and when it reaches 100%, you are forcibly arrested and taken to the police station. In other words, unlike GTA, you don't engage in shootouts with the police.>You can actually watch movies at the cinema in the game, The movie content was produced by university students.>Information also exists that a dating system will be implemented, which will allow the user to play amusement parks, games, sports, etc. with characters.>All cutscenes in Ananta are rendered in real-time (which means changes in character outfits are directly reflected in the scenes). However, this caused the frame rate to drop to just a few FPS and sometimes even crash, even on high-end PC configurations (i9-14900KF + RTX4080 SUPER). The game optimization still needs significant improvement. Except for cut scenes, most scenes run at 4k60fps and highest settings without any problems.That's all the details I found interesting. There's some more shit but it's just details. This thing could be massive if they actually deliver on all this stuff and don't mess anything major up.
>>1646603> GTA is banned in China Oh right I forgot that all media with mature themes is either censored or outright banned over there.>>1646582Nah nobody is expecting Ananta to be an actual GTA clone with an anime coat, it's just that the whole "get in a car and drive around the city" will get super boring incredibly fast if you can't do anything fun beyond that.
Graphics look better than Wang Yue.
>>1647076>>1647078okay, this sounds interestingalready sold due to the inclusion of character customizationwhat platforms is this coming on?>All cutscenes in Ananta are rendered in real-time (which means changes in character outfits are directly reflected in the scenes).goodi feel like these developers actually care and the game isn't just a lazy genshin reskin like ntehope it's optimized properly now, that's all
>>1647378PC, PS and phone.
>>1647450hopefully there's a switch 2 port in the works too
>Character customization even for clothes>Swimsuits for women characters are a thingCould this be them seeking a way to duck under chink censorship?>Sell swimsuit with little ribbons and shit that cover them up>Allow you to remove the ribbonsOn paper that would sneak right past a CCP pencil pusher.
2D side-scrolling ARPG from Crusaders Quest devs "Goddess Order"'s third CBT will start later today, but registrations already closed and it has an NDA clause that lasts ~5 years so I doubt we'll ever hear about whatever went down during the whole week this CBT will last unless there's some retard brave enough to risk getting sued to leak shit. Currently slated for a Q2 2025 release. Probably mixed toilet since the main party seems to be a balanced 2 women 2 men team with a non-self-insert FMC.
>>1647721I remember I was looking forward to this one and then they revealed info about the main party, and I disliked BOTH the female and male charactersAnd since they're the main party you're gonna see them non-stop if you read the story; and since it's actually a party instead of a self-insert character, they're more likely to both be strong and get buffs + meta gacha alts later
>>1647076>>1647078I simply hope the story will not be a humiliation ritual marathon like in ToF. I mean, holy fuck, ToF MC's track record in jobbing and getting humiliated by bosses in post fight cutscenes would make any masochist blush.
>>1647078character customization will finally put an end to chink vtumor slop character designs
>>1647076>>1647078someone posted this on vgsounds very promising so far
>>1648014>9-11 femal character and 2-3 male charactersHoly based
I don't play ZZZ, so to anons that do, do you think Ananta would hold a major risk of stealing its audience or are they too different?
>>1648168My interest for ZZZ disappear the moment Project Mugen was announced.It was already pretty low due to censorship.
>>1648168maybe, but both games are still quite different in terms of gameplaybut i think zzz is already a very niche game that is only surviving due to being a hoyo game post-genshin, it is essentially a honkai impact 3 reskinthese ananta leaks sound very promising, so i can definitely see a lot of people who want an urban-themed gacha move on to ananta and ditch zzzbut it will be a good thing thoughif hoyo wants players to stay, they will have to beg, no more setting garbage trends in the industrythey will have to be even more generous, they will have to put more money back into the game, they will have to deliver on content, on cosmetics, etcit's already looking very bad for zzz since it did go through a drought period very early in its life cycle unlike star rail, which is a low effort game that makes much more than zzzi can also see people ditching genshin
>>1647909Same. I think it's a mixture of writers not wanting to make you OP and management wanting you to not be too strong and get saved by (New Character Here) to shill them and push sales. If they make the MC clearly competent but not overly so I'll be more than happy with them.
i can already see ananta standing out among genshit and its equally dogshit competitionwhat these losers at hotta or kuro dont realize is that they are just giving people "genshit, but worse" while it looks like ananta is going to set new trends in this genre
>>1648320>Already claiming victory before the game even came out of beta just from some fucking words of mouth.You will just set yourself up for disappointment.
>>1648168It could. They both have similar flavor with a near-modern futuristic setting. ZZZ is basically hyper-focused on its combat, even more so now that it's removed TV mode. It doesn't really have much else to offer, though they keep adding limited time mini-games which are very good (a tower defense mode, a fall guy's mode, etc). From what I've heard, Ananta does everything except for the combat well, so people may go back and forth if they're not happy with the actual core gameplay of Ananta. There's also the characters. ZZZ has some pretty wild character designs (Billy, Ben, Lycaon) who are quite different from the typical gacha characters. Ananta so far seems much more interested in playing it safe, and none of the characters really stand out. Of course, post-release, ZZZ has also gone back with the safe character designs, so players who got into ZZZ because of those unique characters may end up leaving anyway.
>>1648348let's be honest, they could make gta anime with bitches showing titties through clever cosmetic workarounds and chinks will still not touch it because it doesnt have glorious dhingdong chinawank praise be to the zhang fantasy in itsales victory is hardly my concern, i am just happy with a game that's doing something different instead of shamelessly copying shittoyo
>>1647655>Could this be them seeking a way to duck under chink censorship?Nope, you either chase Mihomo shadow and go full family friendly for maximum normie profits, or go fanservice and stay out of the big league, you can't do both at the same time. Plus there's no point in selling whole skins if you can just swap pieces around.>>1648168They're very different games outside of the urban theme so not really.
>>1648380>sales victory is hardly my concernIt's not your concern but it's definitely the dev's concern lol. Notice the crazy movement during web-slinging or combat? You get to see your character's crotch/ass which means no panties or swimsuits will be allowed.
>>1648472>swimsuitsThose are confirmed anon.
>>1648488>He thinks he'll have a clear in-game view of the bikini ass-shot shown in the trailerThey'll rugpull all of you by making them wear some towel to cover their asses whenever they move like pic related, calling it now.
>>1648845Anon, you need to read the thread. They're making it fully customizable so you can remove pieces of a costume at will. They will absolutely add some kind of skirt towel thing, but with the systems they have in place they'd be stupid not to try to sneak the ability to remove it past the CCP censors, at least at first.
>please be bad! please be bad! please be bad!do doomkeks really
>>1648956It's already mixed toilet lol
>>1648956it's just cuckbreakniggers who never recovered from sitting at the bottom of the revenue charts every month despite convincing us their trash ml game has the perfect formula (ml pandering shit is simply cringe for most normies, which is why it flopped lol)you will always see him cry about "mixed toilet" and some other schizo buzzwords like femorroid or somethinghe also samefags excessively in those gacha drama threads
>>1648981You seem to be very mindbroken (and that's a good thing)
>>1648905Where in the thread it says that you can remove or attach certain backside accessories that would let you see your waifu's bikini bottom? For all we know it could be just swapping whole legs/torso/gloves/shoes/headpiece and calling it a day. Again, they're chasing genshin's children audience, you don't sell bare swimsuits to them.>they'd be stupid not to try to sneak the ability to remove it past the CCP censorsThe CCP doesn't actively enforces these, otherwise shit like snowbreak or GF2 wouldn't exist.
>>1648956It's gonna be a good game with the cool spiderman swinging and shit but for some reason these retards think this one will TOTALLY deliver an ounce of male fanservice. I'm just gonna laugh back when all the skirt-wearing girls are confirmed to wear shorts underneath once the CBTs roll out.
>Netease is the one who’s gonna save gacha like they saved hero shooterswtf
>>1648988yep seething shitbreak cuck>mindbrokenthat's rich coming from you, don't you have some bitching to do in your gacha drama threads, brownie?
>>1649027>Again, they're chasing genshin's children audienceWhere have they said that? Because if they wanted Genshin's audience they fucking fumbled the fuck out of it already, possibly irreversibly and the game isn't even out yet. They definitely should not have had one of the main girls in a bikini in the trailer. They definitely would shouldn't have made any underage characters who don't look like potatoes. And they most definitely should NOT have ever even considered the possibility of putting in dating/affection scenes, let alone first-person POV dating scenes that raise affection (which would then unlock something, presumably either high affection dialogue, high affection scenes; or likely both) when Genshin's audience is known for screeching and being grossed out by female characters even being nice to the player character, let alone all of that pandering.
hoyo, hotta, and kuro fanboys are the most pathetic losers on this siteespecially hotta and kuro now that there's a new game that looks infinitely more promising than flopwaves and neverness to eos
>hoyo, kuro and hotta rents free in xis headNot a good start, anantabro...
>>1649048you got xim
>>1649048>hotta fanboysDo those exist?
>>1649041It's funny you bring up all these examples because Azur Promilia goes against what you said, and that game is supposed to appeal to the AL crowd not the Genshin audience as it's the only female-only open world gacha on the market.>all the girls are wearing safety shorts and there isn't a single bikini in the trailer.>there are many underage characters who look even more potatoes than the ones in Genshin.>there aren't any dating or affection mechanics shown in the trailer.>using the girl MC to advertise the game, not the male. We don't even know what the mmc 3d model looks like.>half the trailer is about the Pokemons and also farming.>it's got a 12+ age rating not 16+ like ananta.
>>1649063yes, they shill nte, and it is already looking like a trash game just like tower of flop
>>1648981>>1649037>brings the game out of nowhere just to seeth>makes up a schizo scenario>dare to call others browns when he is the one screeching and throwing buzzwords like a subhumanlmao the game lives rent free in your head mindbroken pajeet
>>1649083pajeets are the ones playing and shilling cuckbreak
Wild how we have no information about nte posted here even though it was in open beta like a month ago because literally no one is interested in it. LOL
>>1649086yeah sure, keep seething mindbroken pajeet, the game lives rent free in your head
>>1649091kek you felt so called out by that, subhuman pajeet
>>1649089Normal people don't post in these threads.
cant wait for hottajeets and kurojeets to seethe in ananta threads after they spent the last few years whining about hoyo "sabotaging" tower of visajeets and gangraping waves
If Ananta has a Caesar King like character I'm all in. She was the only reason I ever thought about playing ZZZ.
This is what true mental illness looks like. >>1649119
>>1649171>Playing ZZZ just for censored CaesarWith that low standard, I think you'll play Ananta.
>>1649184I never played it, I said I'd thought about it. Ultimately I decided against it since everything else looked like trash.
>>1649183t. wuwajeet
roco kingdom second test coming soonfor android and pc as well
>>1649033Holy shit is that real? There is no fucking way that fat leotard ass is playable in their chinese servers, that's gotta be some global-only shit.
>Hire architects to design your cool fantasy buildings>Hire city planners to design each new island>Hire train autists to design your subways>None are limited by an engineer telling them things are impossibleImagine the carnage
funny how hoyo and pretty much every other gacha company shills were doomposting mugen because of netease and now it's looking to be the most promising game in the gacha (?) market
Fuck. I've been trying not to get too excited for Ananta but the play test guys saying it lives up to the trailers and the info they gave is making it hard.Just give me more info already. Gimme gameplay.
>trusting random ppl that claims the gameplay is greatyes, just like how reviewers were saying cyberpunk 2077 was amazing before release.
>>1649444Yongyea is way more trustworthy than some random chinese
The parts that people were saying were great and actually in the game were the parts that everyone who wasn't a braindead drooling retard already knew would be in the game, and are fundamentally extremely easy to add; i.e. darts, shooting hoops, mahjong etc. The only one that would have at all been difficult to add was the racing, though it's good to hear that apparently they did a good job on that one as well.The actual combat people said could use some improvementThe part that actually came as a surprise and I'm surprised I didn't see more people spoiling scenes for, is the 1st person dating stuff (and any special character affection scenes). I need to know who best girl is so I can pre-emptively start shitflinging at worst girlfags
>>1647251If these are actual in game screenshots then it looks better than 99% of the premium PC/Console games out there. The indirect lighting here is fucking incredible
>>1649472>If these are actual in game screenshots then it looks better than 99% of the premium PC/Console games out there.Keep your expectations in check, someone says they tested the game on a 4080S, that thing is like 99.99% stronger than most peoples PCs and consoles.
>>1649461Is it good mahjong or chink mahjong?
>>1649662Didn't they also say they tested at 4k resolution though? 99.99% of people also don't use 4k monitors, most people don't even use 2k
>>1649662>>1649472>>1649768I think these images are not in game but a live size prop of the train that is in game and ppl who went there to do the tech test just took pics of it
>People can't even tell the difference between real life and what's in a game.Wow we've really gotten to that point with gachas already. That's fast.
i want to play this on a pc handheldthe switch 2 doesnt seem like it will be any powerful (not that it matters since it will also have poor third party support)will a steam deck be enough or should i wait for steam deck 2?
