ZZZ is trash
>>1713461Well yeah but that's not really news
>>1712210it's pretty dry right nowguess we will see if any game gets an update during the iicon event in late april
I NEED MORE INFO ON ANANTA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
>>1712210>Your chars can hitchhikeI just hope I can also carjack NPC's in this one. No way in hell I can ignore a fancy ass sports car at a red light.
>>1715697Doubt that, i bet it'd be similar to LA Noire.
>>1715697the workaround to that is you're playing as some special agent working on uncovering a supernatural phenomenon, so you get to "jack" cars by showing the citizen your special boy license and they get out to let you steal their carpretty sure you can see that in the newest trailer
>>1712210broadcast on 26th
>>1712210floatopia has acquired publishing license
>>1715832oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiit, been looking forwards to this one
>>1715832Still no news on Global right? I think global will only come next year...
>>1715838this will be coming to the switch toohilariousmaybe nintendo will get up their lazy butts and put effort into animal crossing this time?
3D autobattler gacha Regulus -The Advent- has launched in the Philippines. Developed by Thai developer Jumbo Jumps in collaboration with Japanese television network TV Tokyo.
Senran Kagura New Link will end its service in may 30 after seven yearshttps://www.hpgames.jp/shinomas/finale.php
>>1720586>The IP died for consoles because of Sony being cancer as usual.>The gacha is dead now as wellWell shit, what are they left with now?
>>1720722Senran Kagurun, a Temple Run clone
>>1720722Hey now at least it's not a zombie like neptunia
New character post from Star Savior.https://x.com/StarSavior_EN/status/1906541968571900136She's in the Project Star trailer for a really short time.
>>1723277(me)With this it's still a few characters left like
>>1723278(me)I hope they improve this character model. I'm sure that this is one of the earliest character
>>1723280(me)
>>1723282(me)Imagine that they don't backpedal their decision. They're almost releasing couple/shipped character
>>1723283(me)I think this will be the next character they're posting
>>1723285And here's the last character. It looks like there are 6 characters left. They're posting news around 3-4 days. So it's at least 24 days. And this is before we count lore post or if there's new characters. So I think it'll be around 2 months. I really hope that there won't be a CBT and they'll just release it as it is. Though CBT is kind of important, especially about monetization, gacha currency+rate, and game balance. Though considering that they're releasing this year, I suppose they still can conduct one CBT.
You would have thought that Ananta would have stocked up more stuff to advertise with more consistently or at least spread what they had out some more. It's been months of silence. At this rate people will start saying it's dead again.
>>1725952Because it's still incomplete. Especially if they want to revamp the combat. I think expecting them to release the game in 2026 is still overly optimistic.
>>1712210I'm wondering why they need some of these permissions. Dunno where else to post. Anyone have a good idea about permissions? I understand access to storage is to save the game or to upload a profile pic but I'm unsure of stuff like >download files without notification
>6days between repliesLmfao what's the point in this board?
>>1725952I really hope we see SOMETHING about Ananta again, soon. It's a little worrying that we only get news once a year.>>1726315>generals aren't allowed on the mobile game board, when 99% of the apps that generate discussion would create a general anywayBeats me. Just another board that was made when one of the mods/admins threw a fit over Project Moon threads on /v/.
>>1726315the more important question is, what's the point of your life? You seem to have nothing to do other than checking 4chan every second.
>>1726770>every secondI pop on in the morning for a few hours. Then cycle through the tabs I've opened. I kept this one open specifically so i could come and have a look in the morning. How do you use 4chan? Open the tab, then fuck off for a week and then remember to reply? My life is about making everything better. >>1726763Too many trannies as jannies ruined the place.
>>1726315it's just that there's barely any news on games, plus /vg/ exists to discuss most phone-pc cross-platform gamesthis is good for discussing upcoming games like mugen or roco, but the board dries up quickly during content droughtswell, aside from the esl gacha drama generals
>>1723283Isn't that MC alt or was he a separate char before the change?
>>1726315Most of the schizos and retards stay in /vg/ so every now and then you can discuss things here.
any new gachas? i just wanna be a day1 guy

>>1728048I'm not seeing any general for the game What's up with that
>>1729097not everything gets a general
>>1729098But I want to talk about the game
>>1729108tough luck
>>1729108Go to /mobage/ in /jp/? There are threads for this kind of stuff, or stop being an insufferable faggot and bake yourself.
>>1729097>>1729108there's a thread up here on /vmg/
>>1728721luckily it seems like its only male mc. lets hope it stays that way
I know why they do it, but I wish more gachas would give their MC a real personality, at least a little. Give me something more of an antihero rather than the usual copy paste guy.
>>1730460Stfu. Read a book if you want to read a story. Game is for interactive media, meaning MC should be blank slate or have the options to choose his/her personality.
>>1730463I'm sure this sounded smarter in your head, MLtard.
>>1730714>Can't argue for shitNice try, tranny.
Don't play gacha? Play whatever normalfags play if you want emcee with a semblance of a personality.
Apparently Stix said on some stream that he and some other people got contacted over Ananta sponsored videos from Netease. Increases the odds that it's coming this year if true.I've seen no proof of this for the record and I don't feel like crawling through his shit to find it.
>>1730915>look at channelI'll just wait for Ananta to put something out, then...
>>1730928Yeah that's why I'm not looking at that shit. Seems like another obnoxious clickbait shill. Not worth it.
Stix is that YTguy who talks a whole lot of nothing in order to extend his vids byd 10 mins for monetization. Reminds me of Yawnyea.
Supposed leaker info, not entirely trustworthy. It does line up with what some anons have been saying about Ananta though due to them getting their license earlier this year.>Neverness to Everness: 2025>Ananta: End of 2025>Arknights Endfield: End of 2026>Azur Promilia: Middle/Late 2026
>>1735982>>Arknights Endfield: End of 2026Huh til. I thought endfield will release on end of 2025, not 2026, based on the fans hype.
>>1730937He doesn't even download some games he makes videos about.I remember some of his "GAMENAME IN 2025" it's just him scrolling through news, forums and posts with some old video footage.
>>1736122It'll only release end of 2025 if Arknights revenue falls too much, otherwise it'll be 2026.
>>1735982How many of these games will actually be able to maintain hype until release?
>>1735982>Arknights Endfield: End of 2026Impossible. Nobody will care by then.
>>1736241>NtE>AnantaNtE and Ananta are very similar, so for those two it comes down to which comes out first. If the one that comes out first manages to instantly bomb really badly and then the second one can manage to be better enough it stands out by comparison it'll be handed the other games players, effectively poaching the other companies marketing budget since players that heard about only the first game may get recommended and moved into the second. My bet is NtE coming out first but being really bland and boring, then Ananta comes out and is much better, giving them NtE's popularity.>ArknightsTheir fans are fucking weird, so they'll probably maintain hype all by themselves. Don't know about attracting new players though.>APlel
>>1736241the hype won't die yet until 2 or so of them release since there's still no other competitive AAA anime gacha besides hoyoshit and wuwa
>Ananta News>Rumor: First test on 5/20, paid test at year-end, open beta during Chinese New Year (to catch the winter vacation). NetEase is under big financial pressure this year.>NetEase should be under a lot of financial pressure this year. Many of their games have underperformed/been delayed. How will they manage without new hit games? Infinite Ananta is expected to launch within the year.>CN image provided
>>1738743So they're rushing the game? That doesn't seem like a good thing.
>>1738743Nah, doesn't make sense. It costs money to get another release permit and if they're trying to rush it to make money they wouldn't be doing tests at the end of the year, they'd be releasing it.>NetEase should be under a lot of financial pressure this year. Many of their games have underperformed/been delayed.Don't think that's true either. Marvel Rivals alone is a massive success for them which should take a lot of pressure off of them. If they were under pressure you'd be able to see it through Rivals being very predatory in their monetization since it'd have proven player numbers they could try to suck dry. Their eyes would be on Rivals, not unreleased games.>First test on 5/20At least it'll be easy to see whether it's bullshit or not soon.
>>1738743It seems like for Netease 520 event it seems like Ananta is not included for the event, so this information is inaccurate. Netease would talk about other games like Eggy, Yanyun, and more in the event
they'll need to get their shit together quickly otherwise no one's gonna play bland gachaslop that will pale in comparison to gta 6 releasing in the first half of next yearespecially no one in the countries outside east asian paying markets that matter like us, canada
Seems like there is another rumor that broke out over at xiaohongshu >Verified by Chinese community that the user is indeed an insider from YanYun (Netease Game) community.>EN translation:墨染墨攻墨守◎ (OP): (Replying to 「 」) An insider from the Yan Yun [community/game]. Their information has always been quite accurate.>CN:「」: 回复 墨染墨攻墨守 ◎:这又哪看的墨染墨攻墨守 ◎楼主: 回复「」:隔壁燕云的舅舅,消息一向挺准确的「」: 回复 墨染墨攻墨守 ◎:什么时候的消息>image provided is a translation from xiaohongshu>take a grain of salt

any news on ananta?
>>1746156None. Returned to radio silence, presumably to release this year.
>>1746211no cbt and release this year?isnt that a bad idea?
>>1746213They did a technical test earlier, but no beta no. According to """leaks""" they're going for a December release so presumably they may do a CBT somewhere in summer if you trust those leaks. According to the technical test it was already pretty good though, they just criticized the combat.How good an idea that is remains to be seen. They may just be planning on forcing the devs out of mini development hell to sink or swim at this rate.
Also Tribe Nine EOS'd. It lasted nine months.
>>1746217>they just criticized the combatThe japanese guy who put on an honest review were told to cut so many stuff deemed problematic by the devs so i refuse to believe combat is the only aspect that is lacking from the game.
>>1746217I'm hoping there's some beta test news soon. NTE is putting out pre-reg already and I want to give them both a shot.>>1746224It's tough, I liked that game. Bullshit launch aside.It's 7 months though, barely missed the 3 month mark by a day and is spending the next 4 months in EoS mode. It sucks even more knowing that it will exist in this zombie mode for longer than it was alive for.
>>1746515I'm not so sure about NTE. I think they look way too much like they went with a straight Urban Genshin look, even the UI looked the same. Ananta seems like they had a bit more of a unique direction which I think will serve them and impress players better.
>>1746773Hard to say that when Ananta hasn't shown actual gameplay.
>>1746773There's rumors NTE used AI and it looks like it. The characters look like vtuber rejects.
>>1747387Ironically this recycled criticism is less creative than any AI.
2D autobattler RPG "Terbis" has started recruitments for its upcoming CBT in Japan and Korea (no news on their global Twitter). Very E7-like in terms of presentation. One of the only few gachas with a playable male MC that can do class changes.
>>1713461>>1713496YOU SHALL KILL YOURSELF.
>>1712210Jump King released on mobile just recently. I guess that's news.
>>1747393It looks like shit, bro
>>1749790so your opinion is shit?even the ananta discord think the nte character looks great and waiting for ananto to update their model too

Mirren Star LegendsTurn based gacha just released today
>>1751624>CrunchyrollGrim
>>1751640What's bad about them?
>>1751640Fucking RIP.
>>1735982>>1736122>>1736209No way Endfield is releasing so late, end of 2026 is way too much. End of 2025 to early 2026 is much more realistic.
>>1751662The question should be what is NOT bad about them.One of the absolutely scummiest companies out there for sure.
>>1751662Their main thing is localizing and publishing IP gachas for a quick cashgrab and then killing them off. They most notably killed off Priconne global, which was doing relatively well, on the main heroine's birthday
>>1752002It depends on how well Arknights is doing. Could be releasing anywhere from end of 2025 to end of 2026 depending on how much Hypergryph feels pressured.
>>1752229The longer you wait to release a product the more the excitement for it dies out. Hyperglyph should be aware of this. Their game looks gorgeous, but waiting until the end of 2026 to release would only be counterproductive. At that point it will be overshadowed by all the other similarly high effort gacha that are bound to release around that time as well.They are clearly ahead of them in development, wasting that advantage for a nonsensical reason like that is ridiculous.They are not going to sabotage the biggest investment they ever made just so they can MAYBE squeeze a few more drops out of Arknights.
>>1752229can you really be pressured for anything when every other big gacha still have no clear release dates at this moment, i mean zzz and wuwa released within short time spans just fine not mogging either players
>>1752264zzz and wuwa are direct competitors and each other's release being so close together has actively hurt each other's numbers. Even today those two games are constantly getting compared with each other.It's not a coincidence that ZZZ is the mihoyos worst performing game (not counting HI3 since it's old and before they booked in popularity). And wuwa is not performing all that amazing compared to what it could have most of the time.They are both still making a lot of money because there is a big enough market, but they are also clearly not doing the numbers they could have without one another.Things are going to be even worse for Arknights, especially if they wait more, the action gacha market is already very competitive, if they allow games like azure promilia or Anata to release before them, with silver palace releasing probably shortly after Arknights if they push for a late 2026 release, then the game is going to hurt MAJORLY because of it. It's just not a smart move for them to make unless the game is simply not ready.
>>1751624oh my fucking chub
>>1752289the "weapons" being basically cute girls is a nice change of pace
Mirren, this game is quite a called back to the classic era of gacha before 2020Post-Genshin gacha everything is so jaded, I hope Mirren 2.0 will success, for now I just enjoy this short nostalgic trip with Mirren 1
>>1753145How?
>>1753178the story, it's simple (also the broken English, lol)the aesthetics, it follows the classic fantasy standardgame is too niche, no wonder it's hard for it to compete with modern gacha, where everything must be trendy, dazzling or grandiose as much as possiblethe closest feeling when playing this is SoulTide, Alchemy Stars, etc.

there's gonna be some bilibili event on 11th next monthroco kingdom has posted about it, guess they will put out a release date (if the game is still releasing in 2025)
Why can't they just fucking release Endfield already, I just drop wuwa and in need of a decent replacement
>>1761911>SARoasis
>>1772614>I just drop wuwa and in need of a decent replacementYou too huh? What broke the camels back? I just burned out after anniversary. Still I wanna replace the vpid with something. Personally I wait for Ananta but if I feel desperate mayne I'll give NTE a try. Tho I don't like character designs that much. They give them all a lot of black, whire and some bright color. I prefer much more how variety vibrant and colorful design of Ananta characters.
>>1771350>Male in gacha poolFuck off, I don't care if it's ML, Yurishit, niggerstain, or whatnot. I'm not playing just to get bara faggot on my rolls.
Ananta will be at the Tokyo Game Show in two months, September. This is most likely where they'll be showing their gameplay. If the theory that they'll be releasing it this year based on them receiving their license already is true they will have three months after that to do so.
>>1781607Nice, hopefully we get a global beta testing announced for this year at least.
>>1781607this will be the biggest flop since ToF if it ever releases
>>1781769Apparently NtE is doing worse than people expected by a mile, so unless they somehow just release a complete brick I don't think it's going to be that bad.
>>1781771People expected NTE to be good?
>>1781791Apparently. I can't imagine why since it didn't show anything particularly innovative or inspired. I think the best it could hope to be is "stable".
>>1728136>good looking female characters>MC i plain looking faggot are gooks incapable of making good male mc ?
>>1782384>are gooks incapable of making good male mc ?only when they time skip
Soul Tide is getting a sequel, though unsure if the PV was supposed to have been uploaded today>>1782927>>1782384KaleidoRIDER is a CN game, not KR
>>1782384Only women make good looking males, look at h manga. If it's drawn by a male, the MC is either faceless, or an ugly bastard. If it's drawn by a female, it's good looking, and it probably has more detail on it than the woman you are supposed to be jerking off to.The male being plain is a good sign, since it means they are putting more effort into the girls.
>>1782929>KaleidoRIDER is a CN game, not KRIt's over...
>>1783393Women should design all male charactersAnd men should design all female charactersNothing should be ugly or plain. Everything should be beautiful.
>>1783393Explain why there are so many ugly bastard hmanga written by females.
>>1783682Because those are meant for guys to jack off, not girls. When a guy watches porn he doesn't give a fuck who the male looks.

>>1789944why not play mmos then?
>>1789940I mean it totally took away a sense of exploration out of the open-world game and that's the thing people wants out of it
>>1789944>It's the most exhausting experience i've ever triedi agree, that's the reason u haven't even bothered with wuwa, i prefer the semi-open style of games like E33 with engaging ambient music
>>1790051Not on wuwa, no. The combat is not designed for it, the character kits aren't designed for it, the maps aren't designed for it, it's simply not the focus of the game. The devs are smart enough to realize it and shifted the focus from: randomly finding a chest under a tree that no one has thought of opening in 500 years, to tightly, focused combat encounters and puzzles. Now you get to actually have fun flying from hotspot to hotspot, instead of running for 5 minutes while watching youtube trying to find the last chest in the area.You are welcome to play oblivion remastered or fuck around on the desert area of genshin if you so desire, of course, it's a matter of taste.
I'm on Chapter 5 in Zenless Zone Zero. First gacha, totally F2P. It's been good with some quality content but I feel like I could enjoy another one's style more than ZZZ. Should I bother trying Genshin Impact or Honkai: Star Rail or just wait for one of these new games like Anata, NTE, Endfield, Promilia, Silver Palace, etc., and get in early?
>>1792435Genshin is pretty archaic with no new player on-boarding, you definitely have a few months worth of story content to play with at the very least. Too late to participate in most other content in a fun way though, since it's starting to get balanced around the idea of you having been in the Shartifact mines for two years or more.Never played HSR since it's just a turn based game, only thing it has going for it is the Mihomo coat of paint and artifacts all over again.If Genshin isn't your cup of tea, then wait for the new stuff.
>>1792435I would recommend you to stay the fuck away from mihoyo games, specially since you are a newfag retard and won't see the typical pitfalls of gachas that WILL fuck you over. Not to mention mihoyo games are incredibly low quality despite asking for a lot of money from players, and spending said money on marketing instead of making the games better.I would also recommend to avoid any and all korean games, they typically have a lot of pvp content to squeeze the players money, and require obscene amounts of grinding to advance.
>>1792435You're good, anon, don't bother with other live services.

Endfield news
Any news on Chaos Zero Nightmare? I really like the "cute girls having mental breakdowns" theme of the game shown in trailers.
So far they're just showing off the characters
Endfield beta with monetization enabled soonSo this is the last beta test
[ANANTA]A game planner for NetEase that left the company answered some questions, one of which was about the Ananta release. He stated that it was slated to release in 2026.
Saw this earlier. New trailer for a management game called Virtual Circle. Similar gameplay to Uma but the racing is replaced with fighting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgfx_0c8874I got interested because the combat actually looks really good, which is something I've always wanted to see autobattlers do. If you're taking away player control, then actually utilize the freedom that opens up to have characters do dynamic shit that would be too much for touchscreen controls. Instead, most autobattlers are complete snoozefests where the animations are really basic outside of ults.The only problem is.....>>>>apparently the characters are all real chink vtubersI've been monkey's paw'd hard. Couldn't care less about vtubers, especially the chinks.
>>1792435Stay away from Mihoyo. It's the worst investment ever. Powercreep is very common and eventually they will find new ways pretend to be F2P while being more P2W than ever.
>>1803635>I got interested because the combat actually looks really good, which is something I've always wanted to see autobattlers do. If you're taking away player control, then actually utilize the freedom that opens up to have characters do dynamic shit that would be too much for touchscreenYou only say this before you have to watch those animations 500 times a day.
>>1803635I really dislike the aesthetics of this one. Peak chinese art style.
>>1803635might play if it has pantsu
>>1803635>auto battlers>autowhy don't you just watch some e-celeb "playing" it?
>>1803936Because I still want to play manager, selecting strats and shitGive me football manager but I train girls to beat the shit out of people
>>1803950Sound like Star Savior is what you are looking.It has HSR battle system and Uma training sim system for characters so you can spend aeon repeating the same shit to raise the their stats, plus you can also beat the shit out of people in PVP if you are into that kind of thing.
>>1794693>Trying to pull the latest cute/cool/sexy character>Pull this edgy bara furry instead I'd uninstall on the spot, hell I might even cancel my preregistration to avoid that possibility entirely
>>1790082>i agree, that's the reason u haven't even bothered with wuwa, i prefer the semi-open style of games like E33 with engaging ambient musicSpeaking of which. When we can expect some company to announce game that will copy and apply E33 gameplay style? I give it 2 years max. And it would be ironic because one of the reasons why director of E33 left UbiSoft, was because they wanted him to make a gatcha game.
it's been more than a yearwhy is it still locked to china? is this revenge for animal crossing not being available there?
>>1804002>tamest of pandering, not even a kiss>only one character in screen during battle for some reason>PVPnta, but I think I'm going to be skipping that one
>>1804249
>>1804312Just play Animal Crossing, anon
>>1804552animal crossing is now a slop franchise for those freaks who love to pretend they are the opposite sex/gender and prefer dollhouse decoration over life-simulation
>>1804692Maybe it is because wild world was my first game, but holy shit, none of the AC games after that really got me into them.I probably spent like 2000 hours playing wild world on my ds lite, and not even 150 hours in new leaf and new horizons combined.
>>1712210so apparently fellow moon has already released in japan and koreais it gonna release for global?it looks interesting, i wanna try itare there any other gacha games that are their own thing instead of open world sloo like genshin?i downloaded pokemon cafe remix, it's pretty fun and has a cute artstyle tooi'm looking for something that has a distinct theme, like maybe urban but 2d
>>1804312That means it's a flop not worth going global.
>>1807649it tops the grossing charts even after a year
>>1807720Chinese charts are irrelevant
>>1807756cute cope
>>1807771no u
>>1807720I don't understand why companies are like thisIt's like how long it took for Umamusume to get a global versionIf a game is a massive hit in a region, chances are it will be a big hit globally tooCompanies are too afraid of cultural differences or some other bullcrap excuses, so they either drag their feet or outright refuse to do a global version
>>1807781it's always the people in suitsthey don't understand games, anything about gaming industry, trends, etcthey just wake up one day and think what they want is what all gamers want
>>1712210what gachas have unique artstyle? afk journey looks so pretty, but i don't like most of the character designsare there any more gachas like that?
>>1807906Trickal Chibi Go has a simplistic artstyle but it looks like they put a lot of care into itGlobal release soon, it's worth a try
>>1712210we might get something during gamescom next weekhoyo has completed registration for petit planet (astaweave haven was deleted)
>>1810150there's another casual hoyo game different than this ac gamei wonder if floatopia will be available on phones too
Where the new games at?
>>1816401someone on twitter is claiming hoyo will be revealing petit planet (previously known as astaweave haven) next monthlaunching on pc, ios, android and switch 2
there's some "kaiju 8" game coming up on 31stare there any other upcoming gacha games?
Does anyone know the name of that upcoming gacha with a ridiculous preregistration goal?It was 100 million players to get the 5 stars unit if I recall correctly
DUET NIGHT ABYSS IS NO LONGER A GACHAALL CHARACTERS FREEALL WEAPONS FREEEVERY CHARACTER PERMANENTLY OBTAINABLE
>>1819337Based, total gacha death.
based honestlyi'm so tired of gachashit where the designs i like are very few or shit at gameplay/meta
https://x.com/DNAbyss_EN/status/1960306229424877573DNA twitter says they want to base their monetization around skins and cosmetics, pretty based move, here's hoping it pays off for them
>>1819337Dead in a month
>>1819357So they're literally copying everything from Warframe even the monetary system
>>1819337>>1819357real if true
>>1819359i hope seapags and poojeets stay in their gachashit containmentdna dropping gacha and monetizing cosmetics was a great move
>>1819371It's a failed experiment. Chinese want to wield the power of money.
>>1819371Dead in a month
The gacha killer is coming
>>1819413i don't care as long as pagjeets stay away
>>1819451everyone will stay away from your flop bro
>>1819442I still can't believe this crap is going to kill gacha
>got an email for the Kaleido Rider beta testI forgot that I signed up for this, anyone else get beta access?
>>1819502what game is it?
>>1819552>>1819337
>>1819554looks like open world genshin slop
>>1819357>>1819337But how are they gonna keep it alive? Do you make a single purches like with a regular game? Sure I can give them all the based internet points they want but I don't think skins alone will carry the game in the long run.
>>1819577paypigs can buy character shards to skip the grind
>>1819589That implies the gameplay is gonna be fun and interesting enough to retain paypigs. I guess they're going full Warframe? Because that game must be doing something right to still have +60k current players right now after all these years.
>>1819337>>1819357Great news. That means we can no longer talk about it.
>General that usually has at most a few posts a day suddenly has like 30 within 10 hours
>*new game gets release date*>wtf? why are you talking about game?Retard

>>1819505I wasn’t aware that I got the CBT also.
>>1712210honkai nexus anima info droppedtest recruitment beginsinfo here:https://hna.hoyoverse.com/en-usvideos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5FV_6jirKU&pp=ygUSaG9ua2FpIG5leHVzIGFuaW1hhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGfTS72aEOs&pp=ygUSaG9ua2FpIG5leHVzIGFuaW1hwhat do you think about the designs?personally i think most of them are too overdesigned or just bad
>>1822107Looks like shit.Still going to be a success because of the brand power.
>>1822107Seems even more geared towards children and women than Genshin, very nice visuals but It'd probably put me to sleep.
>>1822116the honkai artstyle is such a downgrade to zzz's tooi'll probably play this until roco kingdom releases>>1822119it's autochess, so yeahhaha
>>1822107Autochess but eh..it’s shit but it would succeed again
>>1820200There is a standalone launcher
>>1822107I wouldn't play a game with that godawful roster even if it was the greatest masterpiece ever
DNA will be on Steam too.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3950020/Duet_Night_Abyss/
kaiju no 8 the game starting in a few hours
>>1819357Guess they realized they can't compete with current gacha economy and those big money games, backing out of gacha is also pretty good move to stay alive
>>1823468People still trust that company after Tribe Nine?
>>1824044Mecha Break flopped though.
>>1824164How is that related in any way
>>1824177>base their monetization around skins and cosmetics
>>1824177Do see how "well" the first descendant is doing. Turns out that having to grind for 15 to 20 hours for a character, then 5 hours for a weapon, then 20 more hours for 4 extra copies of the weapon, then having to level up and equip the character (which takes another 5 hours), to be able to use them in endgame, only to realize you don't like them, is not fun.On the other hand, regular gachas only ask for 5 minutes a day for dailies, and thats enough to get the character you want and level/equip them without having to do any try hard shit, and thats enough to use them in endgame.On those kind of games (destiny 2, first descendant, warframe), you can't do endgame unless you autistically grind for 10 hours a day each season, or drop money to instantly get the character you want. Gacha gamers don't know what real grind is, and they are going to find really soon with DNA, and they are going to hate it. And thats assuming the game is good and not boring.
>>1824228>Turns out that having to grind for 15 to 20 hours for a character, then 5 hours for a weapon, then 20 more hours for 4 extra copies of the weapon, then having to level up and equip the character (which takes another 5 hours)>you can't do endgame unless you autistically grind for 10 hours a dayAlright stop, i can only get so much erect.
>>1824235Of course there are people that love farming the same mission, which lasts 40 seconds, and all enemies die instantly, for hours on end is fun (the most efficient farming on last descendant was doing a circle with Valby, or jumping against a rock with Bunny), but that's a tiny fraction of people, so I don't think appealing to that crowd is healthy for a game. The game will probably be popular for about 3 months before people realize that you are just farming for the sake of farming more efficiently, without any goal, and drop the game.
>>1824228>Gacha gamers don't know what real grind isnot like the current major gachas arent a major content time sink as it already is. ill just follow the main campaign and be done with it like always
>>1824240Ultimately it all boils down to how long and how fun the game is going to be and there's no guarantee it will become like the game it derived from so best to wait and see it myself. Feels like doomposters are trying too hard to prevent people from trying a fucking F2P game, if i don't like it i'll leave, simple as, i don't need your concern.
>>1824251I don't give two shits about you having fun on a random F2P game, the discussion at hand is how successful said game is ultimately going to be. Or rather, trying to gauge its future success from previous games.
A Genshin leaker suggests there may be three 5 star males in the new region, up from one in the previous region and tied with Fontaine. I have seen many "women" complaining about this on various platforms saying that it isn't enough.
>>1826897This isn't the drama thread, no one cares about what people on xitter or reddit are saying.
>>1713461it really is
In other news, azur lane is finally releasing new lewd loli skins, after censoring the last ones.
