>tempted about trying fgo because of the gibs>no autobattleyeah nah id rather manually play kitty cards for a year instead of skipping it
>>1811900FGO not having any kind of auto battle is a deal breaker.
>>1811900>>1811913It's been 10 fucking years. TEN. Even Arknights has autobattling, even if barely.
>>1812101Cant believe tkrb got autobattle before fgo...
Based fish enjoyer.When do we get to fuck Nii san again? I'm salty he got the forehead kiss this banner, they need to pull another Nightly Rendezvous by the end of the year and with 2 multis left and the leaks, idk if/which will be it. Also when the fuck will they update the main story?And is Xavier's new myth companion that broken to warrant a boycott?
>>1812196>And is Xavier's new myth companion that broken to warrant a boycott?I don't have him but from what I read, his kit doesn't work as intended and it doesn't work as advertised in the trailer. Like players are struggling to complete the senior hunter contests with him.
>>1812205Have they addressed it at all in customer service? I don't understand why they respond so quickly to weakling fishfags over a PV, yet there's radio silence about a companion being bugged.
>Purson's favorite dessert is a cum-filled parfait
>>1812196Yes. I have him at R3 and it's been well documented how absolutely buggy and broken he is. If anything warrants a lawsuit, this is it. Even the skill description in game doesn't line up with his live combat. Not to mention false advertisement, at his current state he can not clear the higher fluctuation orbits with 3 stars. I'm speaking a full on whale team, every single card at R3, 100crit rate, 300 critdmg, 210k+ HP and he dies in 2 hits or just doesn't do enough damage to 3 star, let alone 2 star stage 59. Whats even more shameless is the fact that this fuckass company made his beach card a blue HP scaling one, his myth scales with HP, stage 59 requires 6 blues or so, this would be Xavier's third blue card which would give him a total of 15% DMG boost due do matching stellas.So fucking blatantly obvious what those cunts are doing, I'm happy that no star main falls for this bs and just vowed to never spend money in this game ever again. Meanwhile LSG at r3 and worse stats had no problem clearing stage 59 and 60 with 3stars.>SHCThe problem isn't with SHC. They nerfed SHC boss stages significantly for Xavier's myth so we don't notice how fucking ass he is in reality, the current red chambers in SHC even give a very specific buff to his myth that is massive. But of course this is just to hide the fact that he is severely undertuned in every other stage. If whales can't clear end game content then why the fuck would anyone spend money on this game to rann cards? I swore myself to never throw a single cent at LaDs until those retarded moids that are responsible for this shit, fix him. One good note, Xavier mains not spending on this beach banner resulted in lads getting catapulted to rank11 in just two days kek, they're losing so much money even with all these packs they released.
im sorry xavier sisters its my fault, i wont call him boring anymore...
>>1811900I tried it a while back because I like type-moon’s other works and immediately dropped it for the same reason… no amount of good writing will have me sit through that ghetto ancient game system>>1812196I loved the card overall that I didnt mind no proper kiss desu I found it better than his last two multi cards. Cave scene was chefs kiss.As for the main story I’m praying it’s after Zayne’s birthday
Any Zero Era news for us shota enjoyers?
>>1812531Anon posted last thread that they started a small closed beta testing for cnfags
>>1812534hopefully its not kept under tight NDAs and we can get some info about the gameplay and boys
>>1812536Apparently they will release a developer vid sometime soon with some gameplay footage so theres that to look forward to. As for the boys you can just check their social media where they occasionally post some new boy designs.
>>1812519>he dies in 2 hits or just doesn't do enough damage to 3 starDamn, shit's worse than I thought. I hope Infold loses the lawsuit and are forced to fix it.
>>1812196No Xaviertards are just used to Lumiere AFKing everything for them on auto>b-but he dies too quic-Now you know what it was like being a Zayne main for the last year. You guys would start crying if you had to play with MoF because he's always dying too. Learn how to play the game and protect your partner, learn the boss patterns and companion rotations instead of the unga bunga button smashing that Lumiere taught you. The boss that kills KoD in 3 hits is one that immediately shreds your def and does tic damage... if Xavier's standing directly up the dragon's ass during an attack of course he's going to die regardless of his HP.Fish got a strong companion this time because he had shitty ass God of Tides for the last year while Xavier was the only one with a disgustingly busted companion among the OG3 myth batch. Not so nice now is it?And the meltdown looks extra sad because KoD is no where near as useless as GoT was, he's still a strict upgrade from Lumiere and the 2nd strongest companion in the game. These retards spent the entire myth week seething because they weren't given a toddler crutch again and were jealous of the new fish meta. Oh no you have to play on manual and struggle on the highest difficulty content in the game, woe is starfags.
>>1812805Holy schizo, you completely missed the point nor do you know what youre talking about. This isn't about skill issue but a companion being legitimately bugged you fucking idiot. Imagine being this jealous over Lumiere
>>1812840>Imagine being this jealous over Lumierei cant believe xavier is shitposting on josei
>>1812805>massive retard doesn't own KoD, has never cleared FOO 59/60 with 3 stars and thinks the MEELE companion with the most strict and rigid rotation has the ability to dodge boss attacks when his support skill is part of his rotationWhy is there always some fucking nugu with 0 combat skills coming here to talk about learning how to play the game. You don't know what you're talking about and if you weren't a fucking retard you'd come to realize that combat fans who don't strictly main Xavier came to the same conclusion that his kit doesn't work the way it's advertised let alone he is missing CC and stagger resist that is written in his kit you dumbfuck. This is not an issue of learning how to play the game, Lightseeker dies just as much as MoF but nobody throws a hissy fit because he's ATK scaling and they didn't know what they were doing at the beginning of the game.>having a jealous melty over GoT being weakerI main both of them and this is by far the dumbest argument I've seen anyone use. First off, GoT is able to clear all 250 OO stages without problem. With OO stages being extended to 300 recently, GoT can clear those as well. Meaning, at the time of his release and then 1 year later this companion was still able to clear ALL of the combat content in the game without super busted stats. Yes GoT is weaker than Lumiere, yes he deserves LSG to be strong but that doesn't mean that KoD has to be bugged beyond repair to the point he can't clear CURRENT endgame content with a team that has hit the ceiling in terms of what you can invest into. Genuinely sit the fuck down and be humble instead of spewing dogshit. The 3.0 myths are logically supposed to be stronger than 2.0, KoD at R0 being stronger than Lumiere is a fucking given, as it will be the case for Zayne, Sylus and Caleb. >fish metaUnironically kys, nobody gives a fuck how strong other companions are as long as the one you main can clear content, this isn't fucking Genshit or HSR
>>1812805I trust theorycrafters and combat experts more than some loser who fell for fishfags propaganda on Twitter and I say that as someone who owns R2 LSG, if you haven't played with KoD at those high end levels then you really have no ground to stand on, clearly you don't understand the way his kit works and what requirements you have to meet in order to clear Fluctuation Orbit 60, otherwise you would realize that this is a bad sign for future myths if devs are willing to botch a new myth just to sell more lunar rank ups.
>>1812843I'm more surprised that we have some tribalistic schizo in this thread who thinks combat whales have skill issue when they are the ones doing all the theorycrafting for the fandom kekNot a starfag but I've seen the threads and videos and they have a right to be upset, I don't want the same shit to happen to niisan
>nuguYou're talking to a kpop schizo who probably posts on 3 different Twitter accounts a day
>>1812843>nuguGo back
Please stop using zoomer lingo it's triggering my sciatica.
>>1812851yet they are right and you are wrongNot sure how many anons are f2p or low spenders in this thread or even care about combat, but if whales can't clear combat content with an invested team, neither will low spenders or f2p.We won't get new myths next year, 3.0 is something we have to deal with for a long time, but new trials keep being added on as it was the case for Open Orbit. It sets a bad precedent when a new myth at R3 can't clear those trials and future myths aren't exempt from being bugged.
>hide posts with reddit spacingsimple as

>>1812933I want all myths to be good for the boys but that one fishfag sounds like a jealous retard trying to undermine a problem that is even reported on by state owned CN media, this isn't some petty my LI vs your LI shit and Infold needs to be humbled badly so they learn to value their customers again
>>1813032Its not jealousy to point out xavierfags are retarded. I like xavier himself. Its not the characters fault he has a braindead group of fans who felt threatened by the new fish companion.
>>1813036>threatened by the new fish companionWhat mental gymnastics did you do to come to this conclusion? Did you miss the part where his skills don't work as intended and don't even match the ingame description?
>>1813054He works as intended. Try using Abysswalker and see if he CCs/pulls all enemies perfectly and you might finally connect the dots with how CC works in this game
>>1812529>that picSEXThe cave scene was so fucking good, I need to see him unhinged doing things to us.>>1812519If whales have a problem it's messed up then.You think Infold will do reruns next year and/or focus on story? Or will they continue milking the fomo?
>>1811900>>1811913You run out of stamina in FGO after only 3-4 stages run aside of main story and some events anyway
>>1813085Main story has no banners attached to it so it will always be an afterthought. But considering that we wont get new myths next year after this batch then maybe they'll start releasing banners alongside main story updates
https://x.com/yumekuro_info/status/1957004482178347076Yumekuro app update is delayed
>>1813609Is there an archive on yumekuro's cards somewhere? I'm guessing bilibili?
It's been 2 years but still, if I'm out and about and I see a Johren employee walking around, I'm kicking his ass
>>1813734i still can't believe how shit the tkrb translations were, you could tell they didn't care if the game eos'd since they didn't even translate the roomlines even fucking fgo has english roomlines
>browsing through jp kusoge news>see cute boy>3vs3 team arena battleIt's so fvarking over.
I guess 2 weeks of filler in NuC until next new event
>>1811876Remember, Nod Krai coming soon either September or maybe October.https://x.com/GenshinImpact/status/1947508165408387133
>>1814364>they took N eiden awaygoodbye my beautiful wife I'll see you whenever the next main chapter updates so maybe in 2 years
>>1814364I stopped caring about this game about a month ago after playing it for years. They really did nothing to continue any excitement
>>1814456Same. There's a survey out and I've been contemplating airing my grievances in it. On one hand I want to give feedback but on the other I can't bring myself to log in to get my UID and join date.
>>1814364>eitosabdaisukiBased eito enjoyer
>>1813085reruns are going to start now, beach banner making so much less revenue after the boycott and bad publicity made infold release the autumn festival pack earlier than anticipated. Next rerun will be the first multi of OG3, they'll most likely announce that in a day or two. No 4.0 myths next year, reruns were supposed to happen next year but ig these retards want to shamelessly extract money now that a significant portion of whales stopped spending. They also delayed starfish's main story update so who knows, extorting money and not fixing shit is more important than listening to the people keeping your game from EOSing
>>1814587>but ig these retards want to shamelessly extract money now that a significant portion of whales stopped spending.https://m.sohu.com/a/917571690_122045489/They lost their COO (the guy overseeing the game) back in July over "differences in the company's business development" and laid off around 80% of the LADS staff towards the beginning of the year. I'm getting the they're going to strangle the game to death, and IN's drama only accelerated it. This game is probably going to EOS by December 2026, and PG's failures might kill 3D otomes for a long time
>>1814601Yeah they currently have another lawsuit going on by former staff members. So they're being sued not only by star mains, whoever is overseeing the game and fumbling customer satisfaction so bad should get roped instantly. I whaled without problems for lads in the past because they give players exactly what they want and deserve to be financially supported for it, but this shit is inexcusable and it's now biting them back in the ass
>>1814601>>1814639It's all so grim
>>1814587>>1814601>>1814639Just what the hell is going on at PG, corporate sabotage? The way they're handling IN and LADS makes no sense otherwise.
>>1813058>brings up Abysswalker who actually pulls in enemies, aka his CC works as intendedThis anon has literally 0 reading comprehension and is retarded on top of it. You are aware that when a skill description says "GATHERS ENEMIES UPON USING RESONANCE SKILL" it means exactly that? LSG and NV have the same descriptors for their resonance skill, yet one companion actually pulls in enemies and the other one doesn't. They also have the same descriptor for stagger resistance. MC can't get interrupted during charge attack for LSG, exactly like the skill says. MC gets interrupted during active skill with NV though, which is even more devastating because the bulk of Xavier's damage comes from his support skill, whereas Rafayels does not have to rely on support skills during his divine mode. At this point I dont know if youre just a bored ragebaiting moid but being this confidentially wrong about a lot of information should get you killed on the spot. This isn't about your retarded tribalistic fandom wars
>>1814830You can't expect a lot from a raging schizo that can't read skill descriptions and thinks LaDs has meta when the game is pandering hard to solo LI mains which is the biggest moneymaking demographic in the fandom
>>1814830All this text just to admit you’ve never actually used AB against a variety of enemies. Kill yourself xavierfaggot. Instead of having a hysterical meltdown ITT go and get a job to help fund your retarded pal’s lawsuit that is doomed to fail.
>>1814461link to the survey?
>>1814414Hopefully that region introduces some decent playable guys after the whole Natlan controversy. Meanwhile, HSR only has one more new guy coming out. And it's just another version of Dan Heng. I've decided to go F2P.
>>1814873https://www.surveycake.com/s/GGgxr
>>1814899much obliged
>>1814891wow that design is super boring. Did they even change anything from his original unit?
>>1814863Enemies have different weight classes depending on their size, AB's gathering works the exact same way as LSG with LSG having more AOE reach and AB being a cone, they pull in smaller mobs without issue, larger mobs weight more, so the pull isn't as big. I'm a fish main btw and completed all 210 fire orbits as soon as LSG dropped, so your retarded melty is still embarrassingly wrong You expect this level of schizophrenia from kittens usually
>>1814919You understand this much and you're still throwing a tantrum about NV being "buggy"?
>>1814919Fishfaggot is just a larping hoyonigger, dont give them any (You)s
This thread is just going to be Xavierfaggots crying from now on huh. At least Sylusfags spared us from the kitten mass hysteria
>>1814922Holykek you're so close to getting it, work that one singular brain cell you have left and maybe you'll come to the conclusion as to why he's considered bugged
>>1814926>no uI accept your concession
>>1814918>>1814891Hoyocucks will call this peak design
That one illiterate schizo aside, I do want players to light a fire under Infolds ass, so they finally implement the feedback people've been giving for agesLast years boycott from whales worked to the point of us getting those free 5star cards and a ton of QoL features
>>1814891>plagiarizing HoKJust another day for the shiteaters who still play this game
>>1814932what the fuck that's an almost 1-1 how can hoyo be so shameless
>>1814929oh boy i love early 2000s flash dress up games
>>1814601the 80% layoff is for their unreleased AAA standalone game, not the gacha model LADS game. speaking of, it's kind of harrowing to see standalone games doing this badly compared to the more predatory live-service games. they're infinitely more affordable and with zero risks that the game goes EOS before you get to see the story wrap up. >>1814932what the fuck. doesn't mihoyo pay top tier salary for their artists? they can't get a single drop of originality from their horde of artists?
>>1814932I really thought this was an edit, it's literally the same kek what a worthless company
>>1814601I don't think I will mentally recover if it gets eos'd that fast since it's the only thing I'm currently playing and it has me in a chokehold.I have suspicions that the way they will handle reruns will be a key factor in the longevity of the game. They're gonna paywall the fuck out of it, won't they?
>>1814891>still falling for HoyoshitHow I wish a new company would do a story based game with cute guys as a bonus just so people can realize the bad way hoyo treats them shouldn't be the norm
>>1815022same, im craving for a nice 3d gacha with cute boys only it doesn't even need to have any romance (pov stuff weirds me out) but im just tired of seeing genshin clones everytime a new game is announced
>>1815020>paywallYes they will, it's Infold. Look at all the fucking outfit packs they released with the outfit banner, it's ridiculous, they're releasing more outfits than IN
>>1814932anyone with a functioning brain knows all Hoyoslop is just copied designs from other games but made worse bc Hoyo is run by unoriginal hacks. they've been getting away with this copy paste shit for years since they know Hoyoslurpers are drooling retards that'll eat shit as long as it's made by them
kirei
>>1814996>it's kind of harrowing to see standalone games doing this badly compared to the more predatory live-service gamesLet's not forget that by playing gacha we're all contributing to making this happen. Where did things go so wrong?
>>1815202>Where did things go so wrong?People have been attuned to social media and FOMO so you need to be dripfed content to keep your interest in something afloat for a very long time. You can finish a standalone JRPG in maybe like, a couple of days at most, you'll like some characters, you may read some fics, but everything's over. At most, you'll just buy some merch and go.By playing a gacha, you're always "chasing" whatever is going to happen next, whatever new unit will release that will appeal to you, whatever development your favorite character gets, whatever new thing in the story, etc. You can speculate and wonder about the "what could happen" forever years and years into the game lifespan, and you likely still wont quit out of commitment
>>1814996It's because gacha games give the fans what they want and pander to them; while the average standalone game doesn't offer any of that.
>>1814899is anyone here going to fill it out or is planning too? just to reiterate the feedback
There's an alternate timeline where instead of being wasted as a mobile phone game, Senjyuushi is an actual first or third person shooter, and it's doing good for itself. But unfortunately, I don't live in that timeline.
>>1814989unironically this, im so sad fashion dreamer wasnt just improved style savvy for the switch...
>>1815231currently jotting down a list of points to submit since they're asking for feedback about themes we would like and such, lmk if theres any sisters here who want me to echo any suggestions since more people asking for something will likely get them to listen more
>>1815241BUNNY SUIT
>>1815114>all Hoyoslop is just copied designs from other games but made worsei'll still never forget the concept art for skirk in genshin that references first hassan from fgo (giant armored grim reaper assassin in the top left), and she still ended up being another generic flowing dress girl like half the girls in hsr. absolute shit
>>1815202basically what >>1815207 said. i have so little to look forward to in my incredibly stressful life that gacha announcements are one of the few things that keep me going. i realize how pathetic that is. it's the same way for plenty of jp workers who don't have much free time.also it's nice to get the "new content" dopamine without having to wait years, especially for characters you like
>>1815251Well they just switched from copying Hassan to Jingliu instead.
>>1814932>Chinese>plagiarizing someone else's workThat tracks.
>>1815231I filled it out, but realized I forgot to ask for shota Aster SSR unit
>>1815325I asked for shota events in general if that counts
>>1815385I did too, I just wanted to ask for that specifically at the end section and forgor
>>1814996>their unreleased AAA standalone gameThat was their Project: The Perceiver right? I figured that was dead in the water since there's been no news on it since 2023.
>>1815403>>1814996it was probably replaced by Ballad of Antara
I hope they do more of these music events, but lean more into the notes being clapping cheeks and not just ass slapsI think they did one previously, which NuC characters haven't been in one?
Any Gamescom news?
>>1814899Dumb question about these surveys, do they only surface them via social media or are they accessible from in game in a spot I'm just missing?
>>1815533I'm not 100% sure. I only saw it because I follow their Plurk, but if it is it should be in the announcements board on the title screen right before logging in. You might have to scroll down a bit as they've already made a few announcements afterwards.
>>1815121
Noctilucent posts barely get interaction on Twitter, is the game doing well? they advertised it as kamige plot and stuff like that
>>1815524Hollow Knight news in 26 hrs and Bubsy 4D. Also pre-gamescom had playable Magolor in the new Kirby Air Rider.
>>1815467they did have a previous rhythm mini game but it was for the kuya-dante-edmond triple banner and it was nothing lewd just their chibis at the bottom of the screen. I agree tho it would be nice to have more lewd mini games with that kind of setup, damn I already submitted my survey tho>>1815582long hair keishi nice>>1815606no idea, the downside of r18 gachas is that they're pricey bc of the monthly porn content they put out but the gameplay is so boring aside from special event minigames its hard to consistently play multiple at once, but i did see people getting excited over the mc finally getting an ssr recently
Did you like whb summer event?
>>1815606I made the mistake of playing it with the sound on and almost died when I heard the ''''battle''''' '''''sound effects''''. Honestly think it was the final push that made me stop playing. Porn games ask for far far too much money for how cheap and nasty they are. And I'm comparing it to the only other gacha I play which is Infinity Nikki.It really is that grim.
>>1815731What were the sound effects? Cheap stock ones?
That new fucking Genshin guy looks literally 1:1 to Idia I can't tell whether I'm looking at a twst fanart or a genshin fanart sometimes
>>1814414>>1814891The Trailer btw, for anyone who still missed it.https://youtu.be/QWDyxSo-oq0?si=ks-VCmezcnDJfZLW
Are there seriously girls who are still hyped about hoyo games? The designs these days look like some AI plagiarism mishmash. Those dudes look as if they were fed with the HoK art and my guy Idia through a hoyo art style model.
>>1815821its just the resident hoyocuck male, always is
>>1813609It's over. Feels like it's just an ending of a really long prologue instead of an actual ending desu.
>>1815821it's one shill just ignore him
>>1815782Yeah and like super bit crushed? I thought it was the emulator at first.
>>1815875fuuuck was it actually good?I had to change phones and lost my access to my account
>>1814143>>1814295JP literally can't give two shits about making good joseimuke gacha, it's sad.>>1815032Genshin clones and they can't even have an initial decent roster of husbandos which made people try Genshin at the time because people were tired of only idolshit and GBF as their only options.
The chinese are crying about Tourabu on twitter. Yes, the reason is dumb.
>>1815915You cant say this and not share the reason... I'm gonna go ahead and guess its something political?
>>1815606It's currently ranking 2nd place on the Erolab site under male-leads games, so it seems to be doing alright.
>>1815726It took an unexpected wholesome turn when Purson turned out to be the greatest dad of all time. Yet another WHB DILF introduced that we don't get a card for. Also, Paimon looks prettier without his makeup.
>>1815920its usually always been in 2nd but just the male mc category isn't an accurate representation unless you add erolab's waifu games in comparison, which is still pretty good when other games like whb are in 17th
>>1815918Mapple (A company that makes travel guides) released a tourabu travel guide related to swords and associated places. One of those places is Yasakuni shrine. Yasakuni shrine is dedicated to those who died in service to Japan, From the Boshin war to the Indochina war. This includes, of course, the second world war. And the Japanese, well, they weren't the nicest to the Chinese during the second world war... Or anyone, for that matter.
>>1815726Paimon triple cute! Purson's too good for this world also... I wish we could obtain him. I love single fathers who have sons who are incredibly effeminate yet have gorilla like strength, which is a very narrow category, but also includes Eric from twst
>>1815929nukani, king of the waifuslop
>>1815929>BL game mogs everyone in the r18 gacha space>Otome game mogs everyone in the mainstream gacha spaceTell me again why studios refuse to make more games for women?
>>1815909Good enough for me
>>1815929>which is still pretty good when other games like whb are in 17thI Imagine, at least based off twitter numbers, that WHB is more popular than Nocti, but because it's on far easier to use platforms like app store and steam people are getting it from those so Nocti beats it out on erolabs
>>1815939wahmen dont make money for u-us...no dont point out they make up 50% of the worlds populationno dont point out women were initially the dominant playerbase for mobile gamesno dont point out women's insane consoom habits in several industries
>>1815940Forgot how ugly the fairies were
>>1815929Reminder that when nucani was first teased there were a bunch of moids in the replies saying it was a mistake and would bankrupt the platform kek
>>1815940What the fuck did they do to my shota
>>1815952Nothing since he is back to normal at the end
>>1815939They hate women. Simple. There's no other reason.
>>1815964as long as fatso moids are the ones in suits, nothing will change. It took a woman and a team of women to create the joseimuke genre, so that checks out
>>1811876Flins Trailerhttps://youtu.be/WVDlz6hYSNs?si=uZlVk1VmX4Mu3nD_
>>1815939Because the studios also make the games for themselves, and since most are male-led they make waifus
>>1815937>Purson's too good for this worldBut he's also into NTR
Finally Where Winds Meet global has a launch date
>>1815929>nucarni still mogging waifuslop years laterKek remember when Erolabs created the seperate ranking just because Nucarni was always top 1 so moids started crying about it
>>1815726i already said so in a previous thread but it bears repeating: PURSON AND PAIMON OYAKODON NOW!!!!okay for real though. where the fuck are the main story updates? It has been 7 fucking months. the event characters aka achazriel and purson are unironically more developed than the majority of the cast since the actual story is moving at a fucking glacial pace
>>1816022Maybe in 5 years infinity alpha will have enough funding to make their own 3d gacha BL and do it all over again
>>1815929After ntreact and nocti came i really thought the fujo fanbase would split since there were more options and nucani would lose their crown but damn its impressive that they're still #1 on the entire site even after multiple competitors, im really curious how they'll fair against that upcoming webtoon bl gacha
>IN got a Stardew Valley collabWhen will Lads get an in-game collab
>>1815996>>1814891Can't help but love the comments in both the vid and in Twitter over the fact he bows to you gives you his hand. Maybe Nod Krai is Genshin's return to form and the playable guys it introduces will be just like the days when Al Haitham, Kaveh, Wrio, Neuvi and Cheld came out.
>>1816050it's been years and nothing has dethroned Nucarni likely bc Nucarni constantly has events and reruns running back to back, it's also managed to retain it's fanbase bc anyone whose invested in their fave boy makes it hard to leave since you know he'll get a new event at some point. not sure how well the webtoon BL will do bc webtoon fujos aren't exactly known for spending money but we'll see what happens, it'll do better then NTReact that's for sure bc no one can fuck up as badly as that.
>>1815821That one hoyocuck constantly post /here/ trying to shill hoyoslop. They do this every thread despite everyone telling them to fuck off.
Please understand, if he shills it enough Hoyo might notice him and give him a job that will make him the richest schizo in all of Philippines
Shit...https://shallwedate.jp/en/notices/notices.html
>>1816230NOOOOO that's my teenage year memories sisss nooo. Is there any way we can preserve them and port them on pc?
>>1816092Schizo cope. Voice lines are already leaked and he doesn't even have half of the voice line counts as some other waifu, his involvement will just be as minimal as Kinich
>>1816230>7 different titleswhat
Hoyo fujos really have no taste, huh? Every update is the same, two male characters pre-packaged ready to ship. It's entirely artificial with no natural chemistry and yet they eat it up every time
>>1815939to be fair, rich moids are willing to invest money for all kinds of stupid ideas including making tech for porn, scamcoins, and video games. the rich ladies I know ever only want to open cafes and fashion/cosmetic brands. the worst part is most normie women are still pretty anti-anime and video games, lads only got a pass as those around me considered it as a kpop alternative that doesn't involve misogynistic 3dpd. that said i work in a traditional industry (finance) so my experience would differ from someone in a more creative industry. also the scum suits i've worked with always said women are easier to manipulate into accepting lower standards anyway, case in point pink tax for shit quality t-shirts and female hoyo slurpers, and imo the idiotic worship of tradwife slave life.sorry for the depressed wage slave rant, someone pls just show me a successful example of talented indie joseimuke games getting good crowdfunding results, I really need that ray of hope.
>>1816080I want an anime collab
>>1816175>no one can fuck up as badly as thatReally funny how between NTReact and tribe nine, jp devs continue to show how absolutely ass they are at making gachas not following the formula they're used to while refusing to learn why it worked in the first place
>>1816080>IN x Stardew Valley collabI can't imagine what that will look like. SV outfits are really basic and junimos are just cubes with eyes
>>1816266I'd be surprised if there's anyone still willing to subject themselves to Hoyo word vomit.Pity their writing is so shit because I like the new guy design. But I can just go look for porn of him getting drilled by dicks in every hole without playing the game.
>>1816233Doubt it, idk if it serves as consolation but i heard there are some full routes uploaded to youtube as walkthroughs, well at least you guys have that haha.. (cries in no crimson kiss vids).>>1816266Reminds me of the time someone on twitter said that Flins x the blonde dude (forgot his name) are gonna be another haikaveh nothingburger yaoi ship, in the end they got jumped by some hoyo fujos and ended up deleting the tweet.
>>1816275>also the scum suits i've worked with always said women are easier to manipulate into accepting lower standards anyway, case in point pink tax for shit quality t-shirts and female hoyo slurpers, and imo the idiotic worship of tradwife slave life.Hygiene products like shampoo or even razors get a pink tax as well. Capitalism loves exploiting women and making them pay more for the bare minimum. The difference is we have too many women who willingly let themselves be exploited>talented indie joseimukebefore that western indie hating schizo pops out of their trashcan, there have been successfully funded otome games in the west. Regardless if people think those are trash or not, it's good that there are indie devs who still create games for a nicheFor Joseimuke in JP there is Homicipher and the new r18 project the dev teased, the genre isn't dead, it just doesn't see a lot of innovation or support
>>1816230Speaking of EOS, a post went viral on JP twitter with a user showing how many eos'd games they still have on their phone.Which of the joseimuke games can you recognize? Any true kusoge or wasted potential here?
>>1816354Pouring a cold one for Yumecast, Banyaro, DamePri, and Star Orchestra
>>1816341I wonder how much do indie joseimuke earn, putting aside games like Homicipher which had mainstream appeal. I often see devs working on the games for a whole year and sell them at really cheap prices, but if I were to do some maths on the number of engagement on posts, the revenue seems lower than 10k? Surely that's not livable?
>>1816354>wasted potentialfor sure these three, throw in yumekuro because that game was my hyperfixation for the 2 years it existed
>>1816361OBSCURA is estimated to have sold around 7k copies on steam alone, itchio not included so that might be around 100k revenue And that game is complete dogshit so anything is possible
>>1816050>>1816175>All current NuC gacha are paid only aside the permanent oneI don't get why they are doing this
>>1816415Those are re-runs, the current banner is still using contracts and you can get free pink gems from events and lost relics. Plus limited units can be pulled with contracts after 2 years
>>18164077k copies on Steam? Got a source for that? Feels kinda high for a text-heavy Western VN with so-so art.>>1816361People were whining about Homicipher costing $15 with some gameplay and JP VNs with god-tier art costing like $50. Pretty sure most indie devs aren’t even close to making a full-time income off this.A joseimuke game with Fire Emblem or Split Fiction level of gameplay would probably cost $200 lol.
>>1816354>Magical Days Brat's ParadeThe art and boys were cute but it was sadly match 3 slop.>Last PeriodThe art was cute too but it was omnislop. It had the usual one male 5* per element.>AkaSekaDidn't even know it EOS'd. I thought it'd keep going like Yume100
>>1816354Still waiting for that switch port of Rhodoknight. I hope they stick to developing it for switch and not switch 2 (steam would be preferable but w/e), I don't want to buy one of those overpriced pieces of shit.
>>1816230RIP my niggaAll trash but it got me through high school
>>1816230Meanwhile Animal Boyfriend still alive and kicking.
>>1816275>>1816341>successful example of talented indie joseimuke games getting good crowdfunding resultsi can't speak for any jp stuff (don't know moonrunes) but i know of picrel that got crowdfunded fully within hours back in 2023. it's still not released yet but when it does i want to fuck that foxboy silly. it has a gender-neutral protagonist (so not traditional otome) and is apparently made by some of the team who made the arcana. i heard about some messy shit going on with that game so i'm a little wary. also this game has a>they/themlove interest.>>1816354>utapri shining live>idolmaster side mhuh that brings me back. never had even an inkling of interest in idolshit so these two completely passed me by
>>1816407>that game is complete dogshityou've (presumably) said this a couple times now and i'm curious, what did you hate so much about the game? i didn't play most of it and just beelined straight for bdsm priest man so i don't know the rest.
>>1816050The webtoon bl gacha is just Lezhin's next attempt in siphoning cash since their NFT venture crashed and burned. I fully expect it to be stingy as fuck and boring too. They've announced collab after collab and showed 10 seconds of gameplay max. It's gonna be shit.
>>1816541>the arcanathat's my guilty pleasure. It's super time-gatey, but you can just change the date on your phone
>>1816450On steamdb, again only estimates so the number could be lower but I wouldn't underestimate a horny customer base, they put up with anything, look at WHB>>1816544Obscura uses a faceless MC that is written like an edgy wattpad character, the dialogue is really cringe and badly written, at times nonsensical, pacing is also nonexistent you jump from strangers to more in less than a week. BDSM priest is the best part about this game but the relationship he has to the MC makes no sense and reads more like someone going through a checklist of tropes they need to include. The level of writing is below standard for a visual novel and it's bonkers that they ask for 15$, let alone the length of one character route being what? Hour max? 40minutes? Not sure if you bought his chapter but the ending/cliffhanger is shockingly bad. I'm just hating on the game because they ask for an absurd price even though they deliver such a low quality product.
>>1816551Webtoon fujos are so pirate happy im fully expecting their fans to put together more effort into making a publicly shared google drive folder of all the hscenes than actually playing the game since the little gameplay they showed looked even more boring than nucani's
>>1816578Unironically, reading your rant made me want to try the game lol, i'll download the demo to see of it's that bad, im a sucker for VNs written like wattpad fanfiction because of how entertaining they are.
>>1816541>Almost 1 mil in hoursThat's pretty good for a VN, I wonder how much could be raised if it was a 3d game.
>>1816541touchstarved isn't out yet so it's anyones guess how good this one will turn out to be. Not a fan of faceless mob MC or self inserting for that matter, the writing of some characters remind me so much of 2015 tumblr fanfics This one is also successfully funded but with a proper heroine and being an otome game. Devs get harassed constantly for not having a male MC kek
Lads won best mobile game at Gamescon, surely there will be no seething from hoyofags...
>>1816878maybe one day those idiots will google what the word "otome" means
>>1816882expect more schizos coming here to falseflag with fake rumors again
>>1816882Free gibs
>>1816541>gender-neutral protagonistSo it's just a dating sim then? >>1816878>Devs get harassed constantly for not having a male MCWhy do retards keep asking for a male mc in an otome game when the point of an otome game is to have a female mc? You don't see people asking for a female mc in BL games and these retards never seem to want to play BL games despite it being male mc only.
>>1816882We'll probably get raided by hoyocucks or waifufags for it so expect moids pretending to be yumes brining up CN drama that's months old that no one gave a shit about.
>>1816882Just post more gay porn to repel them
>>1816886FUCK YES
>>1816891Don't forget my favorite illiterate seanigger cope>Mihoyo owns 10% of LADS shares
>>1816882>>1816886Yippeee
>>1816877Finally, someone dressed properly!
>>1816878>much better art>got only 10% of the fundingwhy do westoids have such bad taste?
>The Summer Special Program for ZeroERA will go live at 20:00 on August 24, 2025 (UTC+8). The dev team will show the latest progress of the game.bili link for anyone who wants to watch, but I imagine they'll reupload the important parts on youtube anywayhttps://live.bilibili.com/1931438031
>>1816946thanks for the link anon, ive been really curious about this shota game
>>1816877Holy sex with Olivine every day
>>1816887>So it's just a dating sim then? Yes exactly>>1816936>why do westoids have such bad taste?First one advertises itself as "dark romance" it has a nonbinary character, a fox slut that can't go a minute without throwing out an innuendo, a dom daddy demon man and you can be a faceless MC that will never appear in any of the CGs so people can create their own abominations to self insert intoSecond game has a straight woman as the protagonist. That's all you need in order to repel the mentally ill
>>1816882That award system is rigged, one of the nominees was Arknights: Endfield, how do you vote for a game that hasn't even released yetAt least genshit didn't win but gamescom is meaningless with their "awards" that companies can just buy
>>1816990the point of those award ceremonies is for advertising so LADs winning is just so they get more eyes on them and bring in newfags to check it outi don't think anyone believes these awards have any real meaning if you know that these are made so corpos can shill shit to people
>>1817003If only more people would have the same realisation as you, unfortunately a ton of people genuinely believe that the game won legitimately and that it now means we'll get more joseimuke games. The delusional is strong
>>1817031i thought it was common that everyone knows these award shows are just to shill products, that's how it's been for years LADs winning is more for the fact that the money it makes and attention it gets could mean some other company might actually try making a high effort joseimuke in maybe 3-4 yrs
>>1817038>could mean some other company might actually try making a high effort joseimuke in maybe 3-4 yrseveryone in the industry has been in the known how much money LaDs makes, they consistently make at least 50mil a month since pretty much the beginning with some lower months, thats a bigger incentive than a nothingburger award from gamescom out of all place. Buying an award is just for them to slap that on articles to brag and boast, it's actually sad how westoids think that lads will now treat them better for winning
Unfortunate that this game is stuck under Netease
>>1817003Why must you crush my dreams and hopes anon
>>1816887>Why do retards keep asking for a male mc in an otome game when the point of an otome game is to have a female mc?Because faggots, like straight men, can't fathom the idea of women having something without it being "inclusive" and stupid bitches feed into the sense of entitlement by defending these retards.
>>1816877This new artist is shit. The faces are getting more same-face with each new event.
>>1817130Where did the original one go
>>1816982>Second game has a straight woman as the protagonist. That's all you need in order to repel the mentally illthis really is all it is, huh. all the whiny faggots raging on twitter about lads having a female protagonist made me realize this
>>1817130ham is also less ham (a good thing)
>>1817099to be fair i do think LADs was the only real choice there since Genshit winning every year is pointless when it's already huge and Endfield isn't even out yet, whoever put it up there as a candidate was retarded
>>1811876
I just look at fanart of ZZZ guys and call it a day. I'm not installing that garbage.
ZZZ has no cute husbandos only ugly borderline bara shit
>>1817236The male MC is vaguely cute if I look at it from a brother angle. Not that I'd ever fuckin play that shit for just that, ZZZ straight up doesn't belong in this thread
ZZZ boys are hot but the game is a waifuslop and you guys really need to stop posting hoyoshit in this thread
>>1817245it's the one seanig hoyoshill that keeps posting hoyoshit despite everyone telling him to fuck off.some of the zzz guys look nice but 9 males with only 4 of them being SSRs while there's 20 waifushit that are mostly SSRs, someone has to be braindead to not see it as a waifuslop game.
>>1816877Are women into trans?
>>1816877I miss the old ham...
>>1817236>ZZZ has no cute husbandosSeth exists
>>1817245> ZZZ straight up doesn't belong in this threadagreed. It's not joseimuke or even remotely close to being an omni game
>>1816877Those boobies are not big enough.>>1817298God that final scene for his original SSR in the confessional box was hot.
>>1817292Do you even know what trans means, retard?
>>1817341>Those boobies are not big enough.That's Because Quincy stole them
>>1817245Hoyo DOES have an otome game. It's just that the guys from Genshin and HSR are much better. There's something really boring and 'safe' about the guys from ToT.
>>1817221I hope they also give wife his old proportions back. I just want a fat ass, I don't like muscles.
>>1817130That looks like the old artist to me. You can tell by the elaborate dress, fluid pose and competent shadowing.The new artist draws less elaborate outfits, has stiff poses and the shadowing is sloppy.
>>1817137Nowhere, original artist is still making SSR art and the like but their work is being split with a new one. Idk tho that oli and quincy looks like the old artstyle to me
>>1817351>There's something really boring and 'safe' about the guys from ToT.this is exactly how i felt about them and by extension every single popular mobile otome including lads and mlqc. they all have the same hair styles, same hair colors, similar fashion styles, and have to be so toned down to appeal to normie girls (the ones who freak out over caleb despite him being the tamest softest "yandere" i've ever seen). it's so fucking boring, especially since i'm primarily only into long-haired guys and almost none of these games ever properly deliver. just look at this shit. it's just that one pic of all the white dudes lined up who look almost exactly the same with one degree of separation (aside from blond guy). in a better world games with more interesting boy designs like lovebrush and ikevil are actually popular. fucking alas
>>1817465>white dudesThey're obviously Asian, racist.
>>1817465iirc there was some market research in china awhile back where they found that if you design your male leads around customer preferences, you will consistently end up with the four horsemen tropes that plague chink otomes. oh and no <180cm or genuinely problematic boys allowed.
Surprise wife
>>1817518Fine. I'll log into your dumb game.
>>1817518kek quioli cucked again
>>1817365The skinny one-size fits all body screams new artist.
>>1817524>that>skinnyYou musclepigs lovers live in an alternate reality...
>>1817465Lovebrush is popular in China though.
>>1817526Put on your fucking glasses, grandma. Look at his original SSR >>1817298compared to that and tell me he isn't skinny now.
>>1817526Kek my thoughts exactly
>>1817535Not my point. You can say he's less buff, but that ain't "skinny" in the slightest.
>>1817537He's literally wasting away.
Maybe im blind but both olis look like they have the same exact muscle mass to me the only difference is the old is arching back to give the illusion that his chest is bigger while the new one is stretching upwards
>>1817496anon was obviously referring to this kind of shit
>>1817522Damn no kidding they are not happy lol
>>1817591lmao did they forget about Eiden?Anyway I don't see the problem, Quincy fucks the slutty priest and I fuck my wife.
Edmondfags get the rope
>>1817591"quinoli event ruined" wrong, its actually a quinei and eioli event. anyway idk why they're so upset for when those two have never so much as had a full conversation since the first time they shared a banner together three years ago, they have even less chemistry than wife and daddy
>>1817591Every character has to share a banner what the fuck does that even mean.Anyways obligatory quinoli is the worst pairing. I hope they get 0 meaningful interactions in this one too.
>>1817591I'm more surprised this pairing still has fans despite having 0 ship material
>>1817591What about quinoli gets retards sperging like this? It’s so stale. They barely acknowledge each other and that’s not gonna change in this event. Devs hate this one kek
>>1817674nucani devs distain for ham and daddy pairing is entirely the shipper's own fault btw, if i had to experience what they went through when they released the first quioli banner i would also do everything in my power to piss those shippers off
Xavier or Zayne for the swimsuit banner, I have the other 3 and a box
>>1817609>they have even less chemistry than wife and daddyEven Edmond and Olivine have more chemistry. Can't wait for them to sperg out when Edmond thirsts after Olivine's tits again.
>open twitter>someone did a lazy photoshop job of a genshit boy's head on quincy's new card body>thousands of likes and retweetsthis is why i can never take hoyo fujos seriously
>>1817465>it's so fucking boring, especially since i'm primarily only into long-haired guys and almost none of these games ever properly deliver.Long-haired boys are nice, though the even greater hell is when you get into things like old men and/or non-humans and want to romance on on occasion.You pretty much get locked into crpgs and get associated with homos if you want more
>>1817678Xavier, Zayne's card was boring
>>1817351Your temu kpop lads men look generic too
devs should just shamelessly pander to all shippers for maximum whale bux
>>1817711this is probably what the CEO said when he pitched velvet react
>>1817708>seething about LADS when they're talking about Hoyo boysObsessed.
>>1817714pandered too close to the sun
>>1817711i mean companies like mihoyo are technically already doing this and it "works", the only downside is it creates a really toxic fanbase, no ships can ever be canon for fear of upsetting someone's notp, and eventually the gay twittertards accuse the game of "queerbaiting" for not making their fave boys kiss while the moid players have a schizo meltdown and start killing small animals
>>1817591Only one who is getting Quincy's cock in this banner is Eito, they can stay pressed
>>1817711That will never happen because self-inserting retards will fly into an autistic rage if the LIs show interest in each other.
>>1817677Based devs
>>1817683Unfortunately this pretty common, they did they same thing with kuya's pin up last event and it also got a lot attention. Hoyoshits would rather steal superior designs and have their sauceless husbando wear it than ever demand better treatment bc god forbid you stop gobbling corpo cock for a second and play another game
>>1817591Quinolifags still exist? It's been years since these two even spoke to each other and this is a ship with absolutely no chemistry. Fucking Morvay has more chemistry with Quincy then Oli
>>1817769Hoyocucks are whipped as hell and don't have the backbone to demand things from Hoyo since the incel waifukeks will just shit on them if they do. And Hoyo knows they can just dangle low effort fujobait or release one boy with the most generic slop design and they come crawling back. Hoyofujos are so easy it's pathetic.
>>1817769i mean is it any surprise considering their newest male unit is a literal rip-off twst character? wouldn't be shocked if they eventually do just copy one of nucani's designs with how shameless they are at stealing
>>1817806Hoyo has been making rip-offs for years but the new guy is just shameless as hell with how it's clearly Idia but with all the personality sucked out of him. They didn't even have the balls to put lipstick on him.
>>1817769personally im more annoyed that hoyofags will see a beautiful design and instead of appreciating it for what it is will go "but how can i make this about my mid fave instead"
>>1817234https://x.com/ZZZ_EN/status/1959081952209691087Damn I thought the hoyoshills were trolling, it's real.
>>1817683Care to show us? And who's the character you used?
>>1817683>open twitterfirst mistake
Does Hoyo have ONE good male design? They all look so bland to me
>>1817921I think boothill is alright. Has a clear theme and doesn't suffer from hoyo greebling. Appealing elements like long hair and shark teeth, too.
>>1817921Venti and Liney.
>>1817921tighnari is cute...
>>1817904I didn't do it, and this is the tweet idk enough about hoyo games to know who the character ishttps://x.com/hawusan/status/1959236627207004639?t=TMKiyXGcna4a4yH_9JbUlg&s=19

>>1817957Damn thats unfortunate, hope this isn't a sign of anything bad
>>1817968Thanks! Guess that's better than no pity at all.
>>1817921During is gonna be goated. Also the boy wears pants and not shorts all while being rumored to be a 5 Star. So he has beaten the Genshin short boy short shorts meta and wears big boy pants which adds to his charm. Giving him princely vibes and feels.

>>1818193sis... he's facing forward and his legs are crossed. the ass is in the back.
>>1818196If I can't see the ass from the front its too small.
Any Nocti sisters in the thread? I heard some people complaining that the new mc banner only has one hscene and it doesn't even feature the mc is this true?
>>1818239I think that the h scene contains the two guys from the opening scene
>>1818253I'd drop the game instantly if this is true, if I pull on the MC banner I want to see the MC in the H-scene, what retarded suit thought having the two uggos from the opening scene fuck again would be a good idea
>>1818253thats pretty disappointing desu, if it was only one scene out of two i could understand but not even having a second hscene with the mc is weird
>>1817927I thought he was designed by pako. Does that even count? https://x.com/pakosun/status/1562374769466413056
>>1817921At least hoyoverse has some good to decent blondes who're at least pleasant to look at.
>>1818327nta but yeah he was designed by pako. i find it so fascinating how the hoyo design philosophy can manage to fuck up even the designs of amazing artists known for having the best designs in other games. look at the stupid overdesigned color-clashing mess tighnari is wearing and look at picrel. it's night and day. enshittification
>>1818327Oh whatHow? I like his big ass ears, and I guess he does look "better" in his art since his art is just nice, but otherwise the design is all sorts of shit.
>>1817921
>>1818369The original post was asking for a good male Hoyo design. I just thought it was funny that anon picked one that was commissioned from a nip artist instead of one inhouse.
they arr rook the same
>>1818193Yep, his yukata card is still the most popular according to the devs and we all know the reason why.But I really like this new SR, it's the most elegant so far. Certainly it could have been even better if it was from the back and the cloth was see-through...
>>1818648how the fuck did my wife make it through basic training without getting raped every day
>>1818648I can see it...
>>1818769my favorite r2 is the one where edmond gets tied up and spanked and he's acting like this was forced upon him only to reveal at the end that he could have easily broken out of the ropes and kicked eiden's ass at any time but he just likes the rape fantasy
>>1817921Yes, female character. But she is at least one of the better designed female characters out there. She's fierce, elegant and the handsome lady archetype.
>>1819089>ask for a good male design >shows an ugly tranny instead Why are hoyocucks so retarded?
cant believe the only high quality 3d non rhythm joseimuke gacha that exists is still LaDS and everything else is chink waifushit with an omnislop mask... i guess ill just replay xenoblade...
>>1817678Xav. Zaynes card was sweet but kinda boring, Xav's is fun and over the top in the way a silly beach banner card should be.
>>1819113The shitskin has replied to that post like 4 times now
>>1819196>xenobladeyeah more waifushit
>>1818648If they don't do this then they are genuinely stupid.
>>1817957Its been rescheduled for tomorrow at the same time
>>1819420They also said they'll upload jp and EN subs on Sunday
>tfw the cast is compromised of sexy men but you'll never get to see them fuck each other because the developers have to cater to mentally ill self inserters
>tfw uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ummmmmmmmmmmm errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr please reply to my bait i need attention

>>1819980Here's one just for (You)
>>1819843Velvet React was so successful with this idea that people are afraid to replicate it
>>1819678>>1819420hell yeah
Are the Nu:C Cabin animations only unlocked via the paid roulette thingy, or are some available in events?
>>1820151Paid onlyThey might eventually end up in the red gem shop with all the other old premium shit in the future
>>1820151Yes tho I think the survey was asking for suggestions of other ways to unlock it, but either I wrote in for alternative options

>>1819420I was about to say stream canceled again, but it's starting this time. It even has EN subtitles
>>1820393I kinda wish I had a billi billi so I could also fill the screen with my lust
>>1820393I skimmed through it, the uniform boy and healer one with the feet out were cute. Game looks like it might be decent.
>>1820445they released a youtube version as well (also with EN subs)https://youtu.be/T0KHjqKzWk8?si=8uINdECUKRafRA6I
>>1820565I'll try this out on launch, hopefully its good enough to last. Not super impressive but a breath of fresh air after seeing the absolute state of new gacha annoucements. Genshin clone omnis at every corner and so unoriginal that theres like 3 different games trying to cash in on the palword trend shit, this fucking bubble is gonna burst hard and i can't wait to laugh at which ones EOS first
Women have zero taste in menNo wonder you're single
>>1817957>>1820565Glad they could work it out fast and i’m pretty optimistic since everything looks great already for such a small team, hopefully they can keep improving and polishing after there’s a decent cash flow going. I wish the enemy sprites would also include cute or sexo monster boys but i’m guessing that’s where the Zero Alignment/evil faction comes in. It’s good that they addressed the drama over going for genderless navigator mc pandering or multishipping but I could care less as long as there’s no waifu baiting and the lore sticks.I want to pamper Zero and Rydon!
>>1820943>picRAPING ZERO
>>1820943>good that they addressed the drama over going for genderless navigator mc pandering or multishippingi will always have respect for game devs who are honest clear about their target audience instead of pussyfooting to try and appeal to as broad of an audience as possible why only truly pandering to one. i'd rather have waifu gachas that don't have a femMC option over omnitrash that feeds their female audience scraps. anyway im looking forward to zero, hope there's a lot of nice interactive fanservice with the cute shotas
>>1820565Looks like the usual autogarbage that you get tired of sitting through. The content better make up for it.And what is the deal with Chinese games and post-apocalyptic settings with supernatural red death rocks. Is it covid trauma or something
>>1820943>t’s good that they addressed the drama over going for genderless navigator mc pandering or multishippingSo MC is basically a navigator who is a faceless blob. Similar to Dante from Limbus Company I assume, just without a proper sprite.Not sure where the multishipping stuff was mentioned, is it at the Q&A section?I just hope they stick with shotas, don't want to see loligarbo in this game if they feel like "branching out" in the future
>>1820943So these shotas won't be calling me jiejie/onee-san. Oh well.
>>1821112We really can't have shit in this house.
Kinda glad the "mc" is faceless, when it comes to shota I prefer the mob route so as long as i can fondle cute boys in live2d I don't really care about romance
>no one posting any of the shotas What the FUCK sisters
>>1821103>loligarbogood fucking god i hope they don't start doing that trash. that would be probably the most insulting possible direction
>>1821154I really doubt it since they've been exclusively targeting and even hiring from the shotacon community since the beginning, if that were ever to happen the game would EOS faster than NTReact
>>1821144Made for boob pillows
>>1821144I like this one

>want Quincy in NuC>got Olivine insteadI don't really need more healers
>>1821396My opposite problem, don't care about semes but he's always on a banner I want to roll on and I get at least two copies instead of what I want.
>>1821396>>1821401Finally got him after 2 more event Olivine and somehow 2 permanent Dante spooks. Maybe I should waste more rolls for this Eiden event costume.

The idol-themed event is back again so I can finish getting all the costumes. It may be a mixed game but at least it has a greater male ratio.
>>1821144I prefer an oyaji (picrel) or someone who's evil or taboo (Caleb) over a shota. Shotas are just too immature and simple character-wise.
>>1821324He might as well be shota if he acts like one instead of acting like a guy in his 20s. Now, it would be interesting if he had a kid when he was a teenager and we got his son as another recruitable shota.
>>1822066consider: shotajiji
>>1822066Hektor my beloved

>>1821787Skill issue,it's 15 °C and 64% where I live
>>1821969wow compass mentioned in here
>>1822302He's pretty wide and not so skinny. Maybe it's the angle.
plebbit warning but thought I'd share the utter delusions of those hoyocucks
>>1822418Doesn't matter anyway since it's a pokemon game with shit pokemon designs
>>1819196>no good joseimuke that isn't otome>japs can't make a good joseimuke to save their lives>even the jrpgs are becoming like western slop with roided up 3d pigsits never been more hopeless>>1822418reddit is a lost cause. r/queensofgacha is still trying to act like wuwa is this "cunty" game talking like those waifus aren't made for smelly incels.
>>1822418jezuz that new game look so fucking generic as fuck
>>1822418>hoyokeks on plebbit still falling for bait despite hoyo spitting in their faces for years now >didn't even bother to give Blade a new outfit Hoyocucks are mindbroken beyond repair. Anyone who thinks this will pander to husbandofags are delusional.>>1822427>r/queensofgacha is still trying to act like wuwa is this "cunty" gameHoly kek that sounds retarded.Isn't that the same shitty place where faggots bitch and cry about LADs not pandering to them?
they were kinda cookin with these event designs
>>1822491I got my wife so I'm happy now. Not really interested in Quincy or Ham.
>>1822491eiden too, everyone looks great
>>1822418does hoyo have a single male that isn't covered head to toe? anyway the game looks ugly and boring as shit
>>1822491I'm so glad that I pulled for wife
>>1822491They really were. I was able to 3 star wife in 50 contracts, so I tapped out. But I wouldn't have minded getting the SSRs.

discordsisters they are onto us...
>>1822621The one seanig hoyoshill always post hoyoslop /here/ despite being told to fuck off back to plebbit or /gig/. He's a pathetic leech that has to beg for attention on 4chan because no actual woman would ever talk to him irl.
>>1822526Is the 5th room master/servant rape roleplay? Or is it just more "you is precious, you is smart" vanilla slop?
>>1822678You retards who can't go three post without mentioning hoyoshills and hoyoslop aren't any different and it's obvious what you're doing.
>>1822775Answer to this is simple. Stop posting Hoyoslop because no one gives a fuck about it here. Easy.
>>1822785Follow your own advice and stop posting it then, because it's blatantly obvious that you're posting it and then posting about how much you hate it.
>hoyocuck accusing others of posting hoyoslop after he gets called a pathetic leech that irl women hate Kek
Sex with my dragon
Sex with my brother
>>1822807Post your discord.
>>1822810>>1822820i can take them both
>>1822418>Blade Kek did they resort to recycling their own designs now?
>>1822772It's vanilla slop and I like itIf you want rape roleplay then it's probably time to start looking for a new source, everything in Nu is pretty soft at this point
>>1822848>everything in Nu is pretty soft at this pointYet another game lost to the crowd that thinks biting during sex counts as hardcore kink
>>1822772The first H scene with us tricking Eddy into sex was the hottest but our dick turned out to be too good, it's impossible for us to rape him anymore.We really need an ugly bastard rapist mob (me) to NTR Eiden's (my) wife.
>even the fujo porn game got sanitizedIt's truly over for everyone
>>1822859>We really need an ugly bastardNo we don't.
>>1822865Was Nu ever not vanilla though? At most it could have things that crept into dubious consent territory but never anything too spicy
I didn't consent to nucani spending so long to give Aster an SSR and then doing *that* to him
>>1822848im fine with their current dynamic bc edmond gets more and more shameless about how much he wants eiden's cock, but I will say the annoying side effect of their relationship developing is certain fans insisting wife was never into noncon in the first place.i think if devs are scared of upsetting those people they should just write an hscene of eito catching wife jerking off to the sorcerer/knight rape fanfics he's always reading and have them re-enact it
Wife's only good H-scene was the one in his standard SR personally.
Eddy is never getting another dubcon scene the same way Rei is never gonna fuck a complete stranger again, they have all become Eito's personal cockbrained cumdumpsters
>>1822865>>1822886Did I miss something
>>1822907Anon crying over a game they never played.
>>1822894I like when he goes down on eito. Tsundere oral is actually pretty overpowered in general.
>>1822820>bumline
>>1822886There has been dubcon, piss kink, breeding kink, hypnosis, watersports, stomach bulging, drug use leading to sex, tentacles, biting, etcNuCarnival was always kinky, then as always, it got popular and filled with faggots who whined every time a scene dared to have kink. Even Kuya's scenes are mostly vanilla now.
>>1822418>every single one of the men except the 14 year old looking one is completely covered from minimum the neck downdogshit as always i see
>>1822561i see these fucking hacks are stealing design ideas from ffxiv as well
>>1823035Their sad excuse of a "shota" isn't even wearing shorts but hoyoturds will lap all these mid men up as a sign of progress
>>1822893Yeah, I'm also enjoying it because I like it when emotionally constipated prudes start craving dick and getting attached, but I also liked the CNC stuff at the start. It's been a while since we gad a roleplay room too, so hopefully we'll get one sometime soon.>>1822894Wrong, the spanking room exists.>>1822927They should at least stop being cowards and bring some of the less hardcore shit they put in the drama CD back into the game (sex toys and having sex on substances).
>>1822903And thats a good thing
>>1822903True. I liked those early H-scenes with Rei disassociating during sex but it doesn't make sense for him to do that anymore. But I like him being a total whore with another total whore so it's fine.
>>1822521Yeah, there's Mydei.
>>1822859>We really need an ugly bastard rapist mob (me) to NTR Eiden's (my) wife.absolutely not, awful taste
>>1823035The guys being dressed in formal wear, business suits, or in some kind of uniform would be better. Having them dress up like sluts or prostitutes would probably appeal more to the male demographic.
Genshin/Hoyo is also releasing their own Minecraft or User Generated Content stuff where you get to make your own games and maps with it. And even your own OCs.Who knows, you probably be able to make a husbando or re-create Tears of Them is or even LADS with it.https://youtu.be/e1Emb-VVcHI?si=jbXwTEOdxCBjpFFt
>>1822418Who you pulling for?

>>1822810>>1822820When I like the universal accessory on the promise pack it’s with cards I don’t want and now that I like both I don’t care for the feather crown, it’s all so tiresome.

>>1822894Wrong. It's sweet aroma, specifically when he begs Eiden to stop and Eiden says nah.
Recently reminded that Zero Era Red Tide is a thing that's happening but honestly most of those shotas aren't as cute as Overflow RxR so I don't really see myself playing it whenever it comes out.
>>1822927I know it's a tired subject but yeah I'm convinced westerners are the reason why they toned things down. Dialogue changes between languages is evidence enough and I'm starting to wonder if that's the reason we still haven't gotten an English translation of the drama CD. It's been more than a year since they released volume one and they keep hitting us with Soon™
>>1823288I've seen a few vocal guys asking them to hire bara shota artists for their game, if they ever end up doing that I'm not even gonna give it a try
>>1823302I'm pretty sure bara artists were initially in charge of the designs before people complained of them looking ugly, if you check their twitter theyre usually posting about artwork improvements from the initial drafts so they're def listening to the right people at least
>>1823106> formal wear, business suits, or in some kind of uniform Boring shit. The girls should be wearing those instead.Malesluts need to show their meat if you want me to spend money on your trash games.
>>1823376moids will send death threats if their 14 year old waifu isn't showing her bare thighs but we're supposed to accept the guys having a nun dresscode
>>1823106>formal wear, business suits, or in some kind of uniform would be betterthe same bland suit shit that every game/franchise does for male characters? the most samey and safe outfits out there? fucking please. they've done the lazy regurgitated long coat-cravat-gloves combo how many times now? with zhongli then neuvillette then this new dude? no creativity whatsoever. i do not understand how hoyoslurpers lick this shit up
>>1823213>Levishitstain focus againwhen the hell are we getting to the other kings in the main story? this annoying fuck has hogged the past 3 chapters to himself AND his writing sucks. at this rate belphegor and asmodeus won't be in for the next few years (if the game makes it that long)
>>1823403other...kings? Look, best we can do is another Leviathan L card.
>>1823213I'm still waiting for Raphael to abduct mc to heaven, so that the angel corruption arc can start, but it's fucking levi focus again
>>1823376>MaleslutsAre bottom tier and gross. They're probably carrying multiple diseases. Give me a guy of wealth and good taste.
>>1821831Chiave when
I'm just waiting for the big reveal that Levi has been an angel plant all along and his "you're special" bullshit is just the fact that he's a sleeper agent.
>>1823106No one wants to see boring shit like that. I want males to actually show skin or at least wear interesting outfits. Formal wear is default garbage suits that all look the same when moids design males.The same overly covered slop especially generic business suits is lazy crap put out so moids don't cry about how every male looks gay or "not cool".
guys stop replying to the hoyoschizo, he's the only one that always gives three examples, like a chatbot>>1823381>guys in nun dresscodenfghh
there shouldn't be hoyoposting here in the first place. It's not joseimuke, they have their own general, they hardly omnipander and the guys are ugly
>>1823620>guys in nun dresscodeWouldn't they just be dressed up as priests? Whatever, an angel is fine too.
>>1816578Ok i finished all character routes (i finished them 3 days ago actually but then got ill) and to be honest i didn't find the writing that bad, however i do agree that the product is too mediocre for them to charge 15$.Obscura suffers from the same problems as other itchio amare demos/jams, they need to advertise their product but since they have a certain limit they need to cramp together the plot into a very compact space which in turn makes it feel rushed, despite that i didn't find the pacing too atrocious but that's just my opinion.As for the mc, they weren't as edgy as i imagined them in my head but it DID feel like the writers were trying too hard to write a "cool and witty" protagonist. The worst for me though were the snarky lines they would write for the mc during more uh "intimate" (for a lack of better word) moments, absolute moodkillers.>>1817465They should put red eyes on one of the two brown haired boys, it would instantly elevate their design.
god i fucking hope infold doesnt ever collab with lab*bu
>>1823547It's fiction, so they're all carrying my babies.The nasty shit stays in the 3DPD realm.Also>not being the guy/girl of wealth with a multitude of maleslaves
>>1823703Probs to you for trying. I need to fact check if the 15$ price tag was for only one chapter and every subsequent chapter will be charged the same price again or not, because when I bought the game on itchio it only had the chapter with the priest and the orange haired dude available for purchase. That's really the biggest point of annoyance, so little quality content for so much money.
do your fucking jobs
>>1823703>Obscura suffers from the same problems as other itchio amare demos/jamsWait this is $15 for a game jam game? Is that just for the character route or for the base game too, because the only itchio games I've seen charge money before did so for extra content, and even then the most was $10
>>1823921No, when i said that i meant that the game is the way it is because it's still unfinished and the devs needed to cramp all plot and stuff that might grip the player's attention into a small eye-catching demo. From what i've read at their itchio page the game will be way longer and once you spend those 15$ then you'll get access to the rest of game updates for free, the thing is that the updates are going at a snail's pace but desu that's understandable since game developing is not something quick.

I don't play Hoyo game so I don't get it. But I looked it up and saw the gender ratio is estimated 1:2 male to female. Doesn't seem that bad. What am I missing?
>>1824455A brain and white skin
>>1824455I'll talk about Genshit since that's the one I've actually played, HSR is boring as fuck and lmao ZZZ>About 68 females (36 medium, 11 loli, 21 tall) to about 36 males (20 medium, 16 tall (includes Dainsleif who won't be released for some years))Let's say you're fine being blatantly the secondary audience even after being even more blatantly disregarded in the mesa region. Let's look at them in the gameplay>Main DPS: 16>Sub DPS: 7>Buffer: 7>Healer: 4So basically, chances are if you like a dude, he's going to be main DPS and demand you build an entire team around him. This has happened to me several times. You can't just put Childe and Xiao on the same team for example because they're both the type that want to sit around on the field for long periods of time.And amongst the non-main DPS, they may not synergize with each other anyway. The pitiful healing category for example. Mika was built specifically to support one mediocre female unit and has niche use at best otherwise. Gorou is geo type, meaning he can basically ONLY be used on geo teams, since the type doesn't interact with any of the others. This leaves you with Baizhu, the absolute worst design disaster in the game and his personality is that he has a snake waifu, and Bennett, who no one ACTUALLY likes but is forced onto everyone's teams anyway because he's the best healer in the game.Then there's the probably most important matter of how they don't even look good. Male or female, these designs are just shit. It's like they told the designers to make piles of visual vomit. There's no purpose to most of the clutter either, it's just there to fill space. No focal point, no flow, nothing.Or moreso, the writing is not even good. It's actually gotten WORSE with time. I liked the overarching story involving your twin and Dainsleif and nothing else. I don't care about the characters because there's nothing to care about.The gameplay is alright, but joseimuke or otherwise, no other angle is.

>Sylus promise cardWhy the fuck does he always get the spicy stuff? It's honestly annoying and it fuels my hate for his fanbase because they won't shut up about it. Give this kind of shit to the other guys too.
>>1824592>3 sex scenes Which charas
>>1824586Lol I was thinking about this game the other day. KR has a lot of fujos who love it so I’m surprised this didnt take off
unsurprisingly lads fell in the revenue ranking, potentially in part from the boycotting, from 2nd to 3rd I expect it to get lower for the rest of the year since the largest cluster of big banners has passed (unless you're a zayne or sylus main).
>>1824678Unpopular opinion but good they fell a little so they don't go super greedy.
>>1824678Xavier mains are still really upset but I expect a spike in revenue when Sylus 3rd myth happens, if they actually boycott that I'll be impressed. Idk how bugged KoD is but if it wasn't that bad as most players claim it to be, they'd be topping the charts still. Good that they fell, they should learn.
>>1824678They should do more reruns at this point.
>>1824634Belphegor, Beleth, and Mammon.
>>1824726they're gonna fuck up with reruns by making them really expensive, rumors said no new LI and myth companions next year , but reruns
>>1824678But will they listen this time or just blame it on us again
>>1824776I want to be optimistic, but their behavior with the KoD stuff is worrying. Here's hoping they get their head out of their ass
>>1824517>piles of visual vomit>No focal point, no flow, nothingone of the most accurate descriptions of genshit designs i've seen. sometimes it's literally just random shit thrown on the character. like this motherfucker is wearing 15 different colors and none of them work together
>>1824566well i withdraw my previous statement about belphegor not showing up for years. never expected beleth to get a scene this early but i'm looking forward to it>>1824584>the only hades boy that actually cares about us is the first to diefuck.
>>1824455To go off of what >>1824517 said picrel is what it looks like for the male characters in HSR. It's VERY tough to use an all male team in the game let alone in the endgame without having a male MC. An effective team structure in the game is going to be:>1 to 2 DPS (with Single Target DPS not being any good for the most part)>1 to 2 Supports (with Applies Buffs being preferred)>1 Sustain (with Healers being preferred)There's also a severe lack of element variety which limits how many different bosses can have their weaknesses exploited by an all male team. On the other hand, it's very easy to make a team that's full of just waifus for any situation.
>>1824636It had almost no marketing. Didn't even hear about it until the EoS was posted in this thread.
>>1824586>>1824892Oh wait now I remember seeing this in a passing twitter post where most people (fujos included) were talking about how ugly the designs were
>>1824892Why do joseimuke always default to the exact same soft art style, this style is no different from A3
>>1824880Why the hell are like half of male SSR Imaginary element? And only one Quantum lol (and a collab character at that). Is there an explanation for this?
>>1824917It sounds like a flippant or sarcastic answer but "because Hoyo" and because they don't care what male character wanters like.Not exactly the same, but look at Genshin. It took about 3 or 4 years for them to put up one male cyro 5* (and I don't think they've done another since?) and electro 5* males were just are rare.(Complete coincidence that both were highly meta elements for a long, long time while being predominately waifu) To be fair, for a good while aero and geo were largely male, but they have added a very large number of waifu to both elements lately...and it's probably just a coincidence that the newly added waifus are broken and beyond meta while the guys are...decidedly not (in some cases, hardly worth using, including arguably the archons for both elements)
>>1824586Wonder what this did wrong that Wind Breaker didn't. I don't play either. They just look like the same autoplaying game but one is way more popular
>>1824917Because why would they give you variety and the chance to make male-only teams when they can just force you to roll for waifushit instead and pretend like they sell organically
>>1824926>>1824941Almost feels like Hoyo is being intentionally malicious towards their female audience.Seriously though, it makes me so mad when "omni"-pandering games gimp their male units because they know female players will roll anyway since they only get so many males to begin with.I quit all omni-pandering gachas and whoever has an ounce of self respect should do the same.
>>1823381>guys having a nun dresscodeNo games where Sister (male)(Mesuoniisan) bends you over his knee and spank you for being naughty...
>>1824678Actually massive. KoDs myth release saw the highest revenue in the game on a single day, 49mil estimated, according to single day tracking on the cn sensortower site. And that's just one fanbase. Beach banner had 4 fandoms spending and ranking up cards so Xavier/harem mains really stood true to their word and did not top up during it. Really impressive, hope lads makes even less money until they start respecting their entire customer base so that every fandom can benefit from it. Look how many apologies they throw out for IN, the game that is actually tanking in revenue. People just need to come together in lads and make it clear that they hold the reigns of the games success not Infold
>>1824999>until they start respecting their entire customer base so that every fandom can benefit from it.Any chance for that died with the management change.>Look how many apologies they throw out for IN, the game that is actually tanking in revenueBecause that's the game that actually got a large audience if you want to get really cynical it's because they have a male audience too
>>1825025>Because that's the game that actually got a large audienceI think its more because LaDs fandom functions largely on tribalism and outperforming other LIs with how hard fans try to one up one another with revenue. There is no sense of unity so if Infold deliberately fucks over one group, it doesn't affect another one because that's the nature of the game. You can just pick one LI and stick with it. Infold pretty much encourages that behavior and they got so big with LaDs that they don't need to kowtow anymore. The only thing they did not factor is how much buying power the LI fandom has that they fucked over. I'm not sure if anons are aware but Infold bought hot topic trending hashtags on Weibo, prematurely celebrating the beach banner to reach #1 in ranking even though the beach banner flopped and actually never overtook HoK or TikTok, in reality they fell to #10 within a day kek. Then they immediately paid Weibo to delete the hashtag from trending after being made fun of by the fandom. Thats the kind of business they are, just sweep issues under the rug by buying fake trends and fill it with bot armies. Fans should be aware that Infold encourages tribalism so keep fans hostile to one another so they never stand together to be a threat to infoldFor IN, the fandom is pretty much united, if Infold fucks up an update it affects every single player. It's much easier to boycott and have your demands be heard and Infold is very aware, they are doing damage control to regain trust UNTIL they get such a stable core audience that will keep pumping money into it no matter what. They have not grasped that audience yet. They have with LaDs.
>>1825058>about ladsYou described the issue of the fandom perfectly, that is precisely why Infold can exploit it's paying customers until they fuck up majorly that affects every single group
>>1824978I wouldn't say they're being actively malicious to their female audience. It's more like they know who their primary demo is; male gamers. So, what those gamers want comes first. Other than (possibly) the MC, there aren't any male characters that follow the overpowered Remembrance path.>>1824917I'd say they want their female demo without pissing off their male demo. They still want both. HSR has given out two 5-stars for free, picrel, and Genshin Would Never. My guess is that hoyo assumed that they would lose money on the banners for both characters so they gave them out for free. Still, free male characters would be attractive to gamers who like male characters.
Kinda worried Zayne's myth is going to be trash after the KOD debacle.
>>1825090You should be, they changed their terms of service after getting sued bc of KoD and will be more strict with "in development" anecdotes during showcases so they can't get sued again. KoD was not advertised with any "this might change" blib so the lawsuits got rightfully approved by court.
>>1824926>>1825084Wow, a post/answer in this general that isn't both hostile towards hoyoverse content nor is a gender war Men-Bad post either.That is just a fact some in here need to make peace and understand, and that is yes there women who do like Genshin and Star Rail because both still have male characters they like and appeal to them. And yes, what is wrong with women also liking Waifu characters? https://youtube.com/@lucentnpc?si=Ay0aXtAA6A1uQJUd
>>1825184Everyone already knows these things and that's why Hoyoslurpers get shit thrown at them because it's very painfully obvious Hoyo does not and will never pander directly to a female audience as much as they do with waifukeks. They don't even care enough about their one otome game to have the mc be in the Women's day post on twitter. No one says women don't like Hoyo, no one says women can't like waifus, but it's delusional to think Hoyo is a good company that treats husbandofags well when all you'll ever get are scraps compared to waifukeks. Because Hoyo is run and made to cater to moid otakus. Husbandofags will always be second-class citizens in omnislop.
Is there really nothing to be done about this spamming?
>>1825193it's impossible to not have hoyoslop be mentioned here bc the one hoyoshill will keep posting about "muh women like waifus too so it's ok for hoyoshit to make 12 girls with only 3 guys every year" like a mouth breathing subhuman
>>1825193Retards need to stop responding to it first.
>>1825193Not unless that moid gets banned unfortunately
>>1825095>they changed their terms of servicewait,what?

>>1824996>Sister (male)(Mesuoniisan)god i wish. male onee-sans and perverted nun/priest boys are two of my favorite fucking things but there are barely any outside of stuff like dlsite voice dramas. and yet there are 5830263920394 examples of the same few tired tropes over and over in every franchise that bore me every time. it sucks only being interested in the exceptionally rare
>>1825193wish there was. this retarded nigger has only unilaterally soured my opinion on hoyo stuff from "not interested but at least they're having fun" to "shut the fuck up about this trash and waifushit already"
>>1824996>>1825672Why are nuns like this
>>1825675The hoyocuck is a retarded seanigger that comes here to shill hoyoslop because he's a creepy incel trying to get attention from yumes on 4chan. It's why he keeps posting about waifuslop despite being in a joseimuke general.Kek you can tell it's him when he tries to claim any omnislop game has "yume" pandering despite it being majority fujobait, the retard used to do shitty yume post for Ensharts even though it's giga fujobait. Now he's moved on to Hoyoslop especially Genshit, hiding the images because he gets shit on for posting that garbage here.
>>1825851Interesting how he never tries posting the actual yume game...
>>1825854He's a moid that only plays waifushit and omnislop judging by his post, a waifukek that's never played anything actually aimed at yumes in his life and it really shows.
Foras...
>>1824803the worst part is so many new gen artists are influenced by hoyo "design philosophy" and this pile of shit is everywhere now. can't deal with chink games aesthetic anymore because of this.>>1824892yes offense but the art style and designs are so uncreative, it looks as if my 3rd grader nephew drew them>>1825058infold parachutes senior executives from the media and idol industry for LaDs' management roles, passing over people with actual game industry experience, that's all you need to know about the 'why are they doing this???' >>1825190the guy behind the internally-hated genshin aka the only founder who wanted to make hoyo mainstream for $$$ (therefore omnislop) left, and none of his original team is left by now. that's why everything now is back to hi3 waifuslop with a few guys sprinkled around here and there to get female players to slurp their 10000% profit margin merch and create free social media marketing for them.
>>1826022HSR has been adding more and more playable guys since the third planet last year. The current male to female ratio of 1:2 is surprisingly not bad for any waifu game. It's definitely a lot more than "a few guys sprinkled around". In fact, say what you want about the Fate collab but it's story was mostly focused on the male characters.
>>1826022The designs are pretty. Out of all the boys I personally only like ONE of the Ride Kamens. I wouldn't be surprised if some don't like any of them.
Give me a mecha joseimuke with tormented teenage boys not this gay toku shit
ur gay
>>1826139toku shit has tormented teenage boys though......
>>1826009get my dragon boy on the revival NOW
>>1824978They are malicious. But they can keep doing what they want because they know there's no options for what they're selling. If you want anime style open world game with a good budget, there's nothing for husbando fans outside of Genshin. Wuwa is even worse. Not to mention they made the switch four years in and Genshin has a big case of leaving older characters plot threads dangling, so people will stick around for years in hopes of finally understanding the deal with their husbando who got a big story teased in the early versions.
>>1825058> Fans should be aware that Infold encourages tribalism so keep fans hostile to one another so they never stand together to be a threat to infoldThis sounds exactly like what Hoyo does, only with gender wars and shipping wars. Pander to everyone but also set people against each other so you have incels/yumes/fujos/himes all together and fighting so they don't fight Hoyo. Both of these companies learned from the kpop industry that thrives off stanning and people feeling like they need to always be fighting for their faves in order to prove their loyalty.
>>1826114focused on the npcs you mean
All this just makes me hate companies for not making better joseimuke games that can get other husbandofags who aren't into otome or PNG porno games. Someone please fucking make one so Hoyo can finally fully fall off into obscurity like most other waifuslop games. It's so obvious they keep a few guys around to appear legitimate and like a real triple A rpg while the fans have to eat shit from both incels and "feminists" who side with incels. Hoyo is even worse than Kuro for that.
>>1826200He tried but couldn't due to the angelification shit smth. But kind of hinted that he might get revived, since necro corpse expert Glasyalabolas, confirmed that his corpse for some reason doesn't decay. We'll know in a year i guess, if the game lasts for that long that is. The devs did start to rush the story too it seems.
I like that pic where eito's head wings are covered in cum
>>1826689>since necro corpse expert Glasyalabolas, confirmed that his corpse for some reason doesn't decay.Who thought it was smart to let the resident corpse fucker near the fresh non-decaying corpse?
Did they really nerf Caleb's body or is everyone trippin?
>>1826930If you mean his dick in the swimsuit then yeah. Weird because everyone else was packing.
>>1826953Big brother dick is forbidden
>>1826953Are there any comparison against his previous cards?
>>1827362He wasn't around for the sexo cards so we don't know how big he can be, the most we can see is in his workout gear. There are 2 (or 3?) multis left this year and one's rumored to be spicy, so maybe we'll get to see him bricked up then.And hopefully Infold will commission some slutty art like picrel and show us what Nii san is capable of.

>>18275144some with the twins + boss-man>>1826953could be because he's the newest that Caleb hasn't had much bulge fanservice but I also kinda wonder if they aren't playing more into ass with him, given the damage form of his second myth and the newest promise card
I would play LaDS if the twins were a love interest set
I'm waiting for the next solo event so I can play that grocery minigame all day

>>1827565>3d models for kitty cardsI need those fat kitties and the cups. And that Sylus in the nigh trobe.
>>1827401The bite around his nipple is my favorite little detail.
>the cuter ones are low rarity
>>1827627Not in this game too... I swear I must have shit taste or something when all the ones I like always end up being low rarity fodder
>>1827514>>1827533unironically same. i started playing for sylus but my interest ended up being completely frontloaded with his main story chapters. i eventually dropped a few months in since 80% of the game is tedious fluff and he ended up boring me, but the twins were great every appearance. it helps they're the only actually funny characters in the game
>>1827635This is a general gacha problem but I feel like they overdesign the higher rarities to make them look more special and as a result the lower rarity ones just end up looking better for being a straightforward design
I hope Sylus's new lunar is nothing special so I'm not tempted to pull...
>>1827672I don't know why they do that. Is it a chink thing or something?Like to use another holy looking shota as an example, pic related is a central figure to his game, yet despite the important designation, his design is barely more than a white gown, a big ass collar, and a swoopy halo-like ahoge. It's a simple shape, easy to remember, and communicates his character.But if he were a 5* gacha character they would have put like a bunch of random extra layers and adornments, probably would've put some holes in his gown, the ahoge would've just been a halo, and there'd be a chain pattern on his stockings. What's the drive

All the guys are upset with me for no reason and refuse to talk with me, Zayne is checking his phone, Xavier is falling asleep in my face, Caleb giving me the silent treatment. I did nothing wrong.... My husbands, please come back to me.
>>1828019Nip joseimuke so bad that people would rather see their characters in Hoyoslop because at least Hoyoslop has better gameplay. Still nip devs don't want to make a game with quality and make it global and boost popularity. Instead they only make slop like Ride Kamens that EOS in a year. I blame them for this state of affairs too since none of those boomer suits will ever take a risk with joseimuke. Even Twst gameplay is pretty shit.
>>1828109Sorry sis I stole them
>>1828175>Nip joseimuke so bad that people would rather see their characters in HoyoslopYou are giving hoyoslurpers too much credit. They are too retarded to see that this is classic chink copypasting more interesting designs.
>>1828194They do know, people just don't care.
>>1827846Toes AND tummy, f*te players are lucky
>>1828312i have many criticisms of the game but sometimes (read: rarely) they do throw us a bone
>>1828175>gameplayLet's be honest. This isn't about the gameplay. It's about the graphics. Hoyo games are more of cinematic games rather than games that can be praised for actual gameplay. The rhythm games complained about here are the ones people actually consider to have serious gameplay.
Why did God let the angels go all Unit 731 on the demons?
>>1828312>toesshit taste, eat better
>>1828175If gacha players wanted actual gameplay, they wouldn't have complained that IN of all games is too difficult.
>>1828638this reminded me of when a "cozy" singleplayer game i was playing a while ago added a simple platforming section it had people complain it was too hard so they had to remove it, it was literally just jump like three times on some platforms and 1 of them was a slowly rotating one which apparently was too much for them, i have no hope for getting actual gameplay games in joseimuke shit
>>1828652Also telling someone to git gud will earn you an "ableist" remark these days because apparently only able-bodied people are able to use their brains. I've given up on hoping for shit in joseimuke. Sometimes it feels as if the suits' market researchers might be right in that low effort slop is what the market wants, considering the insane amount of people complaining about gameplay because "i'm here to date not to fight monsters".
>>1828027King Tut don't read this post...
>>1828432The gameplay is just casual enough to attract a lot of people. Rhythm games are next in not being too difficult, but you're right people do want better graphics. They're tired of 2d. But then people also don't want to play other games so even other CN gacha that has husbandos and isn't like hoyoslop doesn't get any of them trying it because its a srpg. I think zoomers have an even worse attention span with how much they complain about visual novels or rpgs being "too long" and how they hate reading. Visual novels used to be big but this generation only cares about what they can post on social media, and it's only just cutscenes and graphics. Joseimuke is unlikely to get that so most games will never get attention over Hoyoslop. It's also the same reason why shounen anime is always popular on social media but joseimuke anime adaptations get a shoestring budget and are often animated by ass studios, so no one watches them and they don't get any new fans out of the anime.
shota are shit, and I'm tired of pretending that they're not.

i love ALL dicks
Except old wrinkly ones that cant get it up
>>1829061It used to be that rpgs had short and to the point dialogues, also due to the memory limitations of consoles, but now we've got pointless walls of text about shit most people can't care less about.If one wants to read a book, they'd read it, but I can't really blame those that don't want to subject themselves to trite harem/isekai/xianxia tropes, food talk and endless exchanges of pleasantries.
>>1829314But those are the best dicks, especially if they are attached to rich old men that don't have any heirs or surviving family.
I'd rather be the rich old man and have my dick sucked by beautiful malewives instead.No sluts tho, they should all be poor innocent maidens only doing it to cure their sick old parents.

>>1830182it only shows dicks visually in the erolabs version, but h scenes (which are frequent in the card stories, but voiced ones are only in main story and rarer) are written in great detail in all versions. except for the pg-13 version, but that one flopped immeasurably and has no reason to exist
>kittens cheering that LADS is charting at #2There really is no incentive for Infold to improve.
>>1831113>no HoK event>new paid promise pack boost>new paid general outfit boost>still not #1pretty much a flop just like the beach banner with its 932842 paid packs
>>1831675Yeah the dick-waving over the charts and revenue is retarded. I wonder how Zayne's myth is going to perform, after that mess with KOD I would be wary about spending.
>>1831113LADS will fall off in a similar vein to Nu:C where all you can do is simply roll for the new thing and grind repetitively forever with nothing new added. All joseimuke are doomed to fall off once they get too comfortable being popular
>>1831699Zaynes CN Fandom is unicorn central, they don't care about playing into infolds tactics as long as they can dickmeasure with revenue. It's retarded as hell, especially after KoD which beat a massive spending event in HoK but still got a garbage performing myth companion, it should be clear to everyone that money doesn't buy you "good favors" with this company. I do hope at least the harem players woke up and withhold their spending if they want to be treated better as customers, at least I stopped whaling

>>1831779Not all brainrot is created equal. You're right though, all guys' fanbases are weirdly defensive and dedicated.
>>1831779they're all over the top, but you have no idea the length the real crazies go to, to prop up their favorites. Kittens especially are mentally ill in CN and thrive on idol culture, global is also just very unstable but I blame booktok or whatever it's called that summoned this black daddy mafia romance obsession
>>1830873I still don't get how they get away with this. Are Apple/Android stores okay with porn as long as it's written only?
>>1832160They don't get away with it, the version on those stores have the porn gutted out.
>>1829061I honestly miss old fashioned turn-based JRPGs. They had what felt like a "Go ahead, ship anybody in your party with anybody" attitude to their characters. That's sad if the short attention spans and social media addiction of con-zoomers are the reason we don't really see many high budget turn-based games anymore. I'm still playing the JP gacha Another Eden since its got that same classic "ship anyone" JRPG energy. picrel, you can have your male party members taking a bath together at a hot spring or going out for drinks. A perfect springboard for writing a fanfic for whoever you're shipping. It's like something you'd see in a Suikoden game.
>>1829061Just thinking on what's going on with zoomers: what if there's a problem with them using their imagination? Visual Novels outright force you to use your imagination in order to enjoy them. So does any kind of reading. Most retro or retro style video games have you using your imagination due to the graphical limitations.Like there's a huge difference with the way the guys in Another Eden appear in my screenshots here >>1832269 and their character artwork. You need to use your imagination to "bridge the gap" between the basic in-game graphics and the detailed artwork. Meanwhile, with modern hoyoslop and similar mindless games you don't really need to use your imagination at all.
>>1832269Hoyoslurpers also need ships to be given to them instead of understanding the "ship anybody with anybody" principle. That's why they keep insisting Hoyo "implies" ships and you can only ship the govt assigned ships even when characters interact with more than their ships partner. They just want boring reheated slop which is why all the "Hoyo approved" ships are all the same trope repeated.
Do you guys ever get the urge to quit all gacha games?

>>1832464I recently got fed up with all the pretending and cut out all the "omni"pandering games I'd been playing so there's only one I'm still playing regularly. Now, I'm mostly just hoping that some good console games with cute guys comes out to distract me (may or may not give Where Winds Meet a try when it comes out in Nov but I'm not really holding my breath nor too optimistic about it desu)
>>1832464I will if I see ONE more game about time travel, alternate timelines, and/or human civilization getting too advanced and being culled by mysterious higher powers
>>1831779>>1831797>>1831907>idolshitterythat explains it. no wonder i could never stand this fucking fanbase, there's too much shitflinging and idiotic toxicity due to the tribalism. it's even dampened my enjoyment of fanart since it's attached to the (extremely annoying) people who make it
>>1832770I'll try Where Winds Meet since it looks like it's pretty much a dressup game with character creation
>>1832464I sometimes take a break from playing single player games, including gacha games. When my game break is over I evaluate which gachas do I want to go back to. Recently, I dropped Limbus Company and I'm a day 1 player. I'd been playing it for 2 years. Over 450 hours on Steam. I've simply lost interest in the game's story and characters. For now.
>>1832752Why not both? It'd be great if there was a good offline Metroidvania, which Silksong is, that has anime boys in it. The Castlevania sereis, with it's cute guys, has been dead for more than a decade. And the Western anime starring some black chick instead of Richter is just crap.>>1832770Which gacha games are you still playing sis?
>>1832892Been trying to get into Limbus Company multiple times for the very cute unstable menhera boy but the learning curve is a bit massive in the beginning and always kept me from consistently logging in and I usually tend to be a long-term player for games like that but joining so late is not ideal I feel like>>1832904Play bloodstained 2, looks like it'll have two bishounen as dual protags and it's metroidvania
What's the next lads multi theme going to be, any rumors besides the idol shit? I need my sexo banner asap.
>>1833288If you feel like giving the game another try here's my friend code: I183298145I don't know if the meta has changed that much since I stopped playing but these units should at least help with the early game.
>>1832464Already did, non-gacha games are so much better for the wallet and soul. Rediscovering older rpgs that I've put off for years and some even a decade. There's honestly better boys in older jrpgs than the same old recycled modern cookie cutters.
>the new fe gamesisters im too racist for this...
Boys in older JRPGs are useless and have the worst love interests imaginableIn the end they are still slop meant to appeal to men. The games are better than mobile trash for different reasons but are not relevant to this threadWhich faggot keeps trying to talk about off-topic games here?
>>1833514I thought this was a joke post. Picrel is the only white passing dude. The rest of the cast aside from the glasses girl is some ambiguous shade of brown.
Just don't spend or pick grindfests, then gacha wouldn't be a problem.
>>1833514Radiant Dawn was the last good game. I haven't given a single fuck after that.
>>1833519>In the end they are still slop meant to appeal to menMale Meg Ryan doesn't appeal to men.
>>1832904I know it's (maybe rightfully, maybe just because of its playerbase) seen as greedy and kinda crap but I am still playing LaDs, mostly because I still like the guys and I wanna see where they go with the stories and myths (besides, it's one of the very few games that bothers doing anything for yumes, so it is what it is). I've been thinking about going back to Ash Echoes for the upcoming anniversary since they have some real nice guys coming up pretty soon, too.Outside gacha, gonna play the Bloodstained sequel when it comes out since I really liked the first one and the fact that the new one stars two guys is a big bonus (do we know when that's coming out yet?)
>>1833664If I can't have cute boys I just want a fun game. I liked Conquest and Engage for that reason at least.
>>1833664Not even Three Houses, and the designated Otome route; the Blue Lions?
So to anyone who is actually playing Genshin still, how's Luna 1 and Nod Krai thus far? Is Flins fulfilling that husbando role so far because of him reaching his hand out to (You)? Eager to pull for Durin and Varka? Eager to see Scara again, along with Dottore?But most of all, having fun with the new region at all?
>>1833583Can't stand this nigga. He's literally just Alucard. Like they took my mom's Alucard and put him in the game.Also why did they get Kurahana again
>>1833975Those are Kurahana designs? What the hell happened, did she have to meet a DEI quota or something? Where are my cute boys?
>>1834045Has the same style as the 3H at least
>>1833514Radiant dawn had better brown skin than this...
You are all making me want to replay RD...
Gather your friends and keep up with the beat! Set your eyes on the prize and become Klein's dance champion—
>>1834190Looks like Garu and Blade
>>1833953Nah, I like delicate maidens like Ike's racist wife, the consort birb, Elphin and Lucius. The character design has gone to shit since Awakening.
>>1834295Absolutely based, FE used to make some great male maidens. I wish we could go back, but in this age they'll attract an obnoxious fan base.
https://x.com/ZerowakeGATES/status/1966815370049974548?t=mlzV6YUx_8nMl1jqzIiH4w&s=19Ok they want to summon the painter of the night readers..
>>1834350is anyone here going to try this?not really interested in gook webcomics but it would be nice to know if this is shit or not
>>1834350Have they showed more than 10 seconds of gameplay yet?
>almost all guys are old and uglygrim
>>1834524These are the playable characters, not NPCs?Who the fuck are they even targeting this to, I guess faggots, but they'd rather fuck animals over human uggos anyway...
>>1834524There's no way they went with this route after seeing which boys were most popular in 3H. I'll wait and see.
>>1834524>all these old fartsfunny how i dont see any old ugly women
>>1834524>woman, qt woman, woman, nig kid, ugly man, qt woman, alucard, kid, ugly man>rape mob chara, woman, passable man, rape mob, rape mob, brazilian miku, qt woman, rape mob, ??It's dire
>>1834315their fanbases would be half mentally ill twittertards insisting that they're trans women and half confused straight men making the same few reddit tier memes. maybe it's for the better their time has passed
>>1834047So Fire Emblem is just temu Suikoden now?
>>1832464Yes but I'm waiting for jrpgs to start making cute guys again
>>1833514There's ways to do cute brown guys, Claude was hot and that guy from Tales of Arise was good looking but utterly wasted on a game like that. The problem with the new FE is they just look bad. The mc looks like an annoying kid and the other side brown units all look like musclepig types.
>>1834524They've lost the plot if all these uggos are supposed to be companions. Ugly as fuck and I wish I was exaggerating. FE design went down the gutter with Fates
>why are there brown people in my brown people setting>why are there fucked up looking men in my war series known for beauties like Bord and Cord>why is my console tactical RPG not exactly like a mobile otomegeThey haven't even shown off the inevitable avatar yet, have a little faith and wait to see how deep ISIS is digging their graves before you shit yourselves. Mihoyo has truly mindbroken you people.I swear at least half of you here are men who come to shitpost about mainstream games to a captive female audience because /v/ won't take the bait.
>>1832770HSR is giving out a male 5-star for the second time this year. You'd never see this outside of an omnislop or waifuslop game.
>you have to be a man to be racist and hate anything since awakeningIt's over...
Here's some the recently shown off Genshin concept art for the characters featuring some of the male characters:1/6
>>18349232/6
>>18349263/6
>>18349274/6
>>18349285/6
>>18349316/6Navia and her Parents. Imagine playable characters who're a literal mom and dad.
>someone mentions M*h*yo>it appears Like pottery.
>>1834876Who are "Asian Boys" like Dan Heng aimed at? I put Asian boy in quotes mainly Dan Heng is often a blank faced monotned stoic boy with plain black hair. Is him being in the conventional good looking anime art style enough to make him yume pandering and aimed at women because he also speaks softly? If boys like Dan Heng are meant to be some idealistic Asian boyfriend/husbando. If find it hard to believe, I see Wanderer/Scaramouche being a more believable idealistic Asian boyfriend or husbando because he is a feistier smol cute little Japanese boy any average woman could easily lift up by his armpits.But guys like Dan Heng??? He just looks so samey and similar to all those other stoic straight faced but soft spoken stoic boys with plain black hair.
>>1834315>>1834623I can't care less about fanbases, there are retards for any flavor.Imagine letting fucktards dictate what you can enjoy or not.
>>1834948What kind of flavor are we looking at when you take a glance at this supposed male cast? I guess being ugly and old is one flavor but why have the entire male cast be that with the exception of the Alucard lookalike and the other basic looking dude
>>1834934Hoyocucks can't help but try to shill their slop everywhere.
>>1834981The flavor of being a pathetic misogynist spiting on half your audience and losing money as a a process.
>>1834849>you want good looking guys in this realistic grim and dark war game full of young and beautiful women???are you really that stupid or is this just a bait?
>>1835003are you serious nigga? fire emblem stopped just being a war sim with some unit supports added to it long ago, the only reason IS didnt go bankrupt was because they added a self insert avatar who gets to fuck everyone and gets praised by everyone, its a dating sim first war sim second now dont lie to yourself
>>1834849>>1835003sorry i thought you were the other anon, i just woke up...
>>1835003It's bait. Imagine complaining that people are rightfully upset at no pretty boys in a series that consistently has pretty boys, and all while employing a known otome artist.
>This many posts over a game that is not even mobile Do joseimukeks really
>>1834524>no more cute guys in fire emblem>final fantasy trying to go triple a with bland grizzled protags>the future of anime games being chinese gacha that never wants to pander to women besides one male a year>no one trying smaller games because they're not hoyoslop and they want to be part of the big thingthis is such a cursed era >>1835058Not to mention all the women are still pretty and youthful. I was joking when I said Fire Emblem would also backpedal away from a female audience once but it seems every company is doing this now.
Obviously they made the male cast all ugly and undesirable so no one will ask them to add them to FEH and FEH can become the waifufest they so want it to be, duh
I told you that these are games for men.>>1833710>Worst love story ever told>Obviously oriented for men, the tell is how much they bludgeon you with Yuna being his ideal right from her first appearance>Also has hidden affection meters but the female characters get the most scenes for some reasonThat's like saying MGS2 is for women because Jack is in it. Male player is the priority, female player is the bonus hanger-on.
>>1834876This basically guarantees that he's going to suck gameplay-wise, no?
>>1834350Every time the devs make a post its either about a new character or webtoon collab, out of all of the posts only two have actually been about what the game looks like
>>1834876Wellll about that. If you want to be realistic/pessimistic, it can be said that giving away free *5 males can only be done in omnislop games because omnigames are the only ones that HAVE to do it. Joseimuke have enough going on to keep its female audience without those kind of gimmicks and tricks. Omnigames ignore the non-incel audience and only toss out a few crumbs maybe once a year so they have to do something to keep the non-incels sticking around - hence the free 5* males. (which come with the added bonus of not having to bother with said males' kits because, hell, they're being given away for free so who even expects them to be good, let alone meta?)I will be real, tho, and admit that HSR is more generous to its non-incel players than other omnigames (not that it's saying a whole lot when compared to the likes of Hoyo's other games, Kuro's games, etc etc but...) but, then again, Genshin seemed pretty decent for its first few years, too
>>1834295>the consort birbAre you talking about Reyson and how him and Tibarn are clearly fucking? Or Rafiel?> Ike's racist wifeGot a giggle out of me
>>1835162HSR is going to switch just like Genshin and then people will be claiming their Pokemon clone is the new savior. Word is Hoyo wants to get their hooks in minors who are too stupid to see the pattern and who will just "kin" their waifuslop characters and think it's feminist for lesbians etc.
>>1835213Rafiel
>>1835244Unfortunately the twitter retards will fall for it hook line and sinker
>>1835244>Word is Hoyo wants to get their hooks in minors who are too stupid to see the pattern and who will just "kin" their waifuslop characters and think it's feminist for lesbians etc.Seems like that'd follow their pattern so far where they breadcrumb non-incels to the game they want to make popular by putting up a few token male characters and then go back to full gooner waifu game when its time to move them on to the next slop in line. Unfortunately, it seems to work, too, since saying something even slightly against the waifu of the week in any of these games will have a thousand twittertards and girlpwwr 'lesbians' screaming misogynist at you, even (especially) if you yourself are a girl, yourself.
>>1834946>Who are "Asian Boys" like Dan Heng aimed atpeople with extremely basic and bland taste are out there. must be a silent minority or something. i guess it's the same reason why there's so much of this same shit in manhwa. wish it wasn't so popular myself since it's so fucking sleep-inducing
>>1835111>Every time the devs make a post its either about a new character or webtoon collabhow many fucking webtoon collabs have the announced already? 5? games usually don't do this shit so egregiously until they're in their last dying gasps
>>1834923>>1834926>>1834927>>1834928>>1834931>>1834932Lemme contribute to that pile:Young Varessa and her dad.
>>1835085You've got a persecution complex. Seek therapy.
>>1835162I think that the reason they're giving out male characters for free is because they can't compete with other characters that also have banners in the same update.>Archer is competing with Saber>Dan Heng III's banner is competing with Evernight, The Herta, and Anaxa.Obviously, the prime choice is Anaxa. The male character given out last year was a DPS up against a (still) overpowered support character.
>>1835428I really wonder what their plan is with all these characters. Even if you don't count the collabs the original character cast is big enough as is, how are they expecting for players to stick around and get attached to them if there's obviously not going to be enough time to flesh them all out? I guess thats why they're spamming collabs from the start since they know most fujos are only downloading for their specific webtoon favorites but idk how long this kind of business model will hold them up for
>>1835641nta but the collab spam before the game even starts wasn't something i expected from this new game, do they really have no faith in their original cast and story? or is relying on gook fujo webcomics popularity that lucrative?
>>1835277>>1835287They're really such an insidious company. They know older people will pick up on the pattern, but they already have a whole army of teenagers on twitter who defend their coombait designs as feminism and who think Hoyoverse is such a lgbt company. It's so unlike other gooner games where at least people are open about what the game is about, but Hoyo dickriders are in denial and call people misogynist for saying a design is gooner. I've never seen a company build this much fanaticism like that. I wouldn't be surprised if they get more stupid minors brainwashed into becoming loyal consoomers considering the price of consoles are so expensive and burgers won't be able to afford shit thanks to the president. This is why you see so many people who only play gacha games and Hoyoverse is good at getting their hooks into kids and making them brand loyalists for life.
>>1835737twitards will harass LaDs developers for not giving them a gay mc and in the same breath hold up fucking Hoyo as the company of inclusivity and feminism when neither company will ever give them canon lgbt characters. The difference is LaDs is honest about it while hoyo will throw them fanfic crumbs and let their delusions fill the space while actually prioritizing the incel fanbase
>>1835760Hoyo does yuribait for the incels and had one f/f kiss over a decade ago, which is enough for them to be considered queer. No one tell them that half of their "lesbian" characters also get felt up by the self insert mc or get pandering trailers with the male mc.
Lots of monster collecting clones coming out but I think I just want to play ZA
>>1835428>>1835641It's derivative omegaverse slop where they introduced the characters by their porn tags because you sure as hell aren't gonna be able to tell them apart anyway. How long did Velvet React last again? Cause I give it slightly less time than however long that was.
>>1835427A huge chunk of female otaku is jap/chink/asian. Is it that surprising that they'd find features of their own race attractive?
>>1835641games like nucani rely on a small cast of rotating characters so the more their relationship develops with the mc the more players will invest and pull to see it unfold and also collect cute outfits of their fav, and because of this theres less incentive to add new characters as often due to how it'll affect the story, their romantic development with eiden and just the fact that fujos don't want to wait even more time for their wife to show up in a banner.other gachas rely on constantly introducing new characters for FOMO factor and so that theres always a new shiny toy for players to collect, the downside to that is it leads to the majority of them rarely having any more relevance to the story after being introduced and their relationship development to the mc is almost non-existent. So for zerowake that relies on the Boy's Love genre choosing the second option is really puzzling bc not only does every unit have to come as a pair bc of the omega gimmick but with the added collabs they're almost guaranteeing their players that said pairings won't have time for any meaningful love story between rotating banners, if they'll even have any.>>1835920eh I think the big webtoon collabs will keep them above water for a year or two at least, that is if said webtoon fujos are willing to spend money for once in their life lol
>>1835737Grim, but I get that for a broke teenager dropping $60-$80 on a videogame is a lot. What they don't get is this: chances are they'll eventually end up spending more overall for gacha currency, while also wasting time doing menial tasks while being drip-fed content for years, in a game that will most likely overstay its welcome.
>>1835961I think the live service and communal aspect is why they're popular. Zoomers have a fucked attention span. People complain when single player games aren't long enough because it doesn't stay relevant on social media long enough. Games like Hoyoslops stay relevant for years because of the slow pace and how often they update, the drip feeding is perfect for a fandom of young people to make headcanons and get attached and form cliques with their fellow teens. It's no different than kids who socialize on Fortnite. It's just the fact that Hoyoslop is the only option for young weebs right now makes it very grim. At least young weeb girls in the 2000s had shoujo manga with fantasy elements or Square Enix for female friendly stories. Now they really only have nothing but games made from a company run by incels so you see them defending these coomer female characters with their lives. It's grim for kids out there.
>>1835641Like >>1835952 said they are probably going the route of targeting the FOMO players that want every possible character/couple available. And as most of the cast are from an established manhwa there's more of a chance that a player has multiple favorite couples. They also basically confirmed that collab characters are part of the story, so they aren't a one and done deal. It's hard to say if this will pay off though, I think this is a wait and see situation. None of the current BL gacha follow this format and none are doing particularly amazing in S. Korea. Nu:C obviously has faired the best but I dare to say that's probably their lowest performing region based on engagement. But since ZeroWakes is "homegrown" it might do well there, however then I wager to guess that their next big demo would be Westerners as I don't believe Japanese and Chinese fujos care for manhwa. And we all know western manhwa fans are the biggest pirates, and if they can't spend money to read their webtoons they are not gonna splurge on a gacha game.
>>1835952Honestly good point, it does remind of an anon here pondering about a bl gacha with multiple pairings of where there isn't a sole mc that has to be shipped with everyone like NuC but there being established couples and you just pick the one you like best. I'll give them credit for doing that differently at least.>>1836005>Nu:C obviously has faired the best but I dare to say that's probably their lowest performing regionWith how much those people worship the same fucking dorito shaped rape seme archetype in every BL that they churn out there I wouldn't be surprised it being due to Eiden not fitting that mold (or really any of the tops for that matter). I'm really curious about how it'll do when it finally launches bc rn we're in the gacha bubble bursting stage and almost every new gacha is switching to 3d nowadays and even if nuc was successful it was partly due to it being the first of its kind with other BL gachas not being able to touch it if barely. Either way I hope to be entertained with the results like VR kek
>>1835641>>1835952All of the characters in Zerowake look so generic. The same haircuts on every guy, I can barely tell them apart or what the archetypes even are outside of generic tops and bottoms.
>>1832912
Well shit, I guess you can say I have really bad taste because I did start Nod Krai (yeah boo me), and did anyone ever say there were going to be short male NPCs this whole time? I'm genuinely surprised hoyo actually made short male or teenage male NPCs a thing when it has always been adult male and female and child NPC models before.And yes I actually do like this NPC from the current ongoing 6.0 Luna 1 event. The npc's name is Sarin and I'm kinda do like this one NPC short male from Nod Krai. I think remember a post saying its because this NPC almost looks like Venti's nameless bars friend if you squint your eyes just a bit.
>>1835089He's an aventurine sidegrade (came out a year and half ago)
>r18 ver will be hosted on erolabsGet ready for the kpopfication of BL gaming sisters
>>1836261>reduced to shilling for npcsthey do have cooler designs for npcs (rerir) but they never do shit with the playables who are the point of the game
>>1836374I will be actively praying for the downfall of this game sorry I hate webtoonshit. Webtoon fujos are mostly pirates so I will be banking on them to NOT swipe
>>1836374well this just got more interesting. on one side im all for a game that challenges nuc's spot and i can see this having the potential to actually compete against it which can hopefully lead to nu devs working harder to make the game better.but on the other hand im not looking forward to seeing the webtoon fanbase clash with ours. i won't pretend the nuc fandom is perfect but its still the only one where i dont have to worry about retarded fandom drama constantly meanwhile wt fujos will start public fights with mangaka every other day. plus they're super tribal about everything, as soon as they find out about erolabs ranking i wont be hearing the end of it, ugh.
Bring me the 6th LI already, I need fresh meat even if my wallet suffers
>>1836473they're already asking if the game is free lmao
>>1836478>wt fujos will start public fights with mangaka every other dayyeah, recently there was YET ANOTHER round of the wt fujo pirate mob attacking authors because the authors complained about pirates. something something how could authors oppress and deny them their poor need (not want) to read webtoons. I can only imagine the absolutely dogshit dramas we'll have if morons like these start festering our spaces.
>>1836374LaDs sisters how bad are the kpop fans and should we be worried>>1836500Was that the one where the mangaka told them to kys after they bragged about not paying for her work? Based as fuck
>>1835904i'm over in the husbando thread on /vp/ and i've been getting more enjoyment from that place talking about volo and now corbeau than any joseimuke for years since they keep letting me down.imagine if pokemon ever put out official dating sims or something. they could rake it in but it probably wouldn't count as family friendly enough considering how sanitized masters is. alas
>>1836526>how bad are the kpop fanskpop is the single worst, most toxic septic tank dogshit dumpster-on-fire fanbase i have EVER seen on the internet. and considering the extremely strong competition for that spot, that really says something. pure undiluted mental illness mixed with extreme stupidity mixed with tribalism and hate for whatever the "other" group is. i've outright dropped friends due to them getting into kpop and turning into literal caricatures of toxic teenage girl bullies despite being fucking adults
>kpopShit, this reminds me. If that lads idol/kpop banner rumor will end up true it will attract even more dimwits l, I already have terrible Sylus fatigue.
>>1836546welp, can't say i didn't see it coming. just hope they stay in their lane>>1836547praying for you sis
>>1836526They're cancer. And you can't escape them just by avoiding Western communities, the Asian fandom is full of those schizos too.
My idol is better than your idol at whoring it up on stage or something, if you disagree we will hontoni doxx you
>>1836585Is that what kpop is about? A competition of what man whores himself out the most? I will now support your cause. Also that's a cute idea for an acrylic stand
My idol is pure thoughbeit
>>1836585>>1836596It's more like "my LI is better than yours because he makes the most money/gets the most likes and views" I'm glad I don't suffer from this mental illness.
that's my only problem with lads, everyone is fucking rich, where is my pathetic loser hobo stinky neet LI
>>1836630so I guess for zerowake it'll be "my gay otp is better than yours" instead, that's one way to secure whales I guess
>>1836526>LaDs sisters how bad are the kpop fans and should we be worriedThey love sending these kinds of schizo trucks in front of the company building, so maybe papergame and this gook gacha will get one, too.
>>1836662How the hell is this legal
>>1836646Unfortunately pathetic neet losers aren't a popular archtype in chink media unlike with nips who always have at least one poorfag or neet character. It's a damn shame really
>>1836596no it's the fans that make it mentally ill and the company feeding into that competitive unicorn bullshit because it makes them money to have fans at each other throats, they need to compensate with jpeg pixels being successful because their rl life is miserable
>>1832464Less the urge to quit and more I just lose interest. I'm still doing my LaDs dailies when I remember, but otherwise if I have time for games I'm trying to catch up on games I didn't play sooner, like da2 romancing fenris currently, his voice was way deeper than I expected but I like it
Just learned that the jp dub in lads is the only one with unvoiced lines when you're on your period, curious why
>>1836374These characters all look so bland. The same hairstyles and no other interesting gimmicks.
>>1837071Weren't Japanese girls weirded out by the period tracker? It's probably because they barely use it.
>>1837106Everyone's got a type and they're going for the most common denominator here. None of them look like my type so it's an easy skip for me. Wait, there's an idea:>>1811876What type of guy do you look for in a game? For me:>blond>optimistic>strong sense of right and wrong>wholesome, good with kids>being fit and semi-bara (but not furry or fatty) not a dealbreakerBonus points if the character is supposed to be a stereotype of an American.
>>1837208I'm not surprised. It could be that Japanese women could be disgusted that a guy, even a husbando, is being so candid about periods. Could be that the voiced lines would ruin the image of the guy or even of his VA to be saying that out loud.
>>1837208I'm more surprised plenty of women find it useful and have regular periods.
we need more characters like this in joseimuke
>>1837365>Straight up just "god"kekI do want more knife ears though
"As a servant, he is in a position to protect the protagonist, but the protagonist is stronger both physically and mentally, so he is often the one being protected."oh he's made for me
>>1836746It just reflects their culture. Chinks are incredibly materialistic, maybe even more than gooks.
>>1837372>Lise René XanaDude's got three names and none sound masculine.

>>1837464forgot to add. if anyone knows more characters like this PLEASE share, there are so few of these out there compared to the usual overdone tropes that never interested me
>>1823218>>1823235>>1823269
>>1836546Speaking of, apparently Hoyo takes cues from the kpop industry to do their marketing, which is why they rely on the fans fighting in order to keep engagement. Making female fans feel pity if incels shit on their husbands, or making shippers fight about which is better. It's all due to enforced scarcity where people know if their favorite isn't "chosen" their favorite gets bad treatment. Another reason to hate that company.
>>1837538It's not even working. having fans fight over marketing is one thing but they dont even make as much money as they did when they didn't treat female players like dogs, most paying customers already left the ones who stay are doormats. Infold utilizes that strategy too and they only started going downhill after they fumbled KoD, otherwise it wouldve kept working. People are just willfully blind and okay with genshit treatment and thus will continue to get exploited like dumbfucks, but in order to grow unicorns and instill tribalism, you need to throw them a bone once in a while. Very hard to do with a game that constantly has to introduce new characters that incel devs are allergic to
>>1837365Do we even have any outright "useless" "worthless" "loser" characters in non-console joseimuke?
>>1837689The Player
>There's an actual troon character in Honkai Nexus AnimaWhy is it always the games aimed at women that can never just have a cute guy character without him being a troon? First Enstars now this. No one ever asks men to make one of their always female waifus suddenly become a man, but women can't have bishounen or feminine boys anymore without them needing to be a tranny for inclusion.
your first mistake was thinking a genshit spinoff was aimed at women
>reruns of first mixed banners with no niisan/bossman additionThat sucks, the next guy already has a lot of catching up to do in terms of cards and the wedding milestone so I wonder how events are going to be planned out once the roster is complete.
>>1837365Comparing this to the other BL game and I get why people wish otome games had male mcs sometimes because why are BL games always filled with ugly men or ugly art styles while otome always has gorgeous looking male characters.
>>1837913It's because of faggots who keep sending feedback about wanting male characters to have more muscles and complaining that they don't look manly enough.I even see them posting that shit for "omnipandering" games (aka waifushit games with a few pity males).I hate faggots.
>>1837846>honkek pokemon rip-off has a troon For real? Which one is it? Because Hoyo designs are so ass I don't even know who they're trying to pander to. And I think the reason why troons like the one in Ensharts exist is because the fanbase is braindead enough to let "inclusive" shit infest their games and the devs know they can get away with it so they can earn brownie points online.
>>1837884Are you retarded? There is not one single person besides gacha newfags who think reruns would add additional characters to past banners. What an absolute idiotic thing to expect
>>1837913Yumes clearly have taste, ugly muscle pigs you can find everywhere. Beautiful slender men with long hair are for the girls I guess. Personally I love that these dudes fall in love with a female protagonist, thats one way to fight idiotic stereotypes. As a fujo I get it though, I'm not touching that kr bl no matter what, just give me a bl with the same design from an otome game and I'll be fine, until then I'll just keep playing otoges and wait for the next best thing even if its looking grim atm
>>1837943Reminds me of when faggots complain about the guys in BL being "too pretty" and "aimed at women" when that's the fucking point. There is actual faggot content made by gay dudes for other gay dudes but these retards want to whine about shit made by women for women. It's like when lesbians play otome games and complain why there aren't any female love interest.
>>1837943It's sad because I like muscles, but a muscular man for women and a muscular man for men may as well be a different species entirely.
>>1837846Troon or otokonoko? Also, because unfortunately you bitches don't actually push back enough. You may complain here but in social media (where it's where companies like hoyo and others care to see feedback) everyone is like uwu i love tranz rep or "I don't have opinions on it"(it's making me fucking seethe internally but I don't wanna get canceled)
>>1837959thisthe only reason why troonshit always ends up in things aimed at women is bc they know they walk all over us since troons will just claim "if you don't suck tranny dick you hate women" and retards will defend this, the fucking subhuman tranny bootlickers will defend troonshit but get pissy at things aimed exclusively at women like otome games.i hate waifukeks but at least they aren't rolling over to please troons that don't respect them and the devs wouldn't dare pull shit like that.
>>1837970that's why you don't see ftm troons making others bend reality for them, moids will relentlessly bully them so they tend to stay in their lane.Fag hags and allies should crowdfund their stupidity.
>>1837953These fags play nu:c and complain about the same shit. Why don't they fuck off? There are literally games catered to their shit tastes. I have no problem if they want to play, but to go around and be obnoxious about the boys not being roided out is so annoying. They are also always Garu or Morvayfags
>>1837951I would be so happy to have a BL drawn by Yomi (the Ken ga Kimi artist and I'm pretty sure she's also the artist for the 2 pics posted).
>Twinks are a hot commodity among homos in real life>Homo games don't have any twinks (Or anything other than bloats for that matter)???
>>1837959Neither, the character canonically switches between male and female forms apparently. This will just be another excuse for troons to say that anyone drawing the character in the male form is a misogynist. Hoyo loves to do this troon shit with male characters because they hate female players. You never see them making a waifu with the soul of a male character because they know their incel audience will actually try to kill them.
>>1838006>There are literally games catered to their shit tastes.But see, you don't understand, they totally can't play those games because it's just all about porn. They absolutely must play games developed by women
>>1838127>the character canonically switches between male and female forms apparently.So like Ranma? That doesn't make the character trans.
>>1838012she is, she also drew Virche. Her art is beyond beautiful, even her OCs are top tier
>>1838124There's lots of pretty men in fujo fanart but they can never hire any to make a game.
>>1838124Japanese corpos don't see twinks as a "homo" thing. They see it as a fujoshi thing, or a trapbait thing.Chinks DO love their long haired wuxia bishies, but they spend all that homo effort into books instead of games.We don't talk about Koreans
>>1838124It isn't twinks that are the hot commodity for IRL gay guys but young guys that can be "mentored". All twinks just happen to be young.>see Boku no Pico
What no games does to a fakegeneral
Not sure if I want to try the gook BL webcomic gacha since I don't know any of these collab characters if that's going to be the selling point. I stopped reading gook BL years ago after I got bored of manhwa
>>1838321Wake me up when Project Bangbang gets an official title and overseas accounts...
>>1838349I hope they remove the female units before they release it. Sorry, yurifags.
>>1838349>Project Bangbang Has there been any news at all from this recently? The last news I saw about this game were chink yumes telling them to remove the girls so it wouldn't attract waifucucks and yurikeks.
>>1838348You're not missing much, once you've read one you've read them all>>1838370>>1838353omnipandering in my otome game? It's all so grim...
They are always ol' reliable of joseimukehttps://youtu.be/yacN9_YQkG0
>>1838349love all the pathetic submissive meni don't mind the female units either cuz i'm a bislut
>>1838407wrong game to pander to bisluts, i dont know why games that so clearly have yumes in mind have to cater to other demographics that clash. Omnigames can work for that as long as the devs make it equal for everyone
>>1834190Still waiting for NuC next main story update
>>1838602pretty sure the N Eiden unit leaked that he's getting a standard SSR soon (rin too hopefully) so the next story update is gonna be big and will probs be next year
>>1838602they should have just given this retarded dog the archetype of a feral cat you adopt instead of the cringe split personalities spicy and apprehensive but will eventually curl up on you for a nap if you build trust
>>1838578nta but which games unironically pander to bisluts but not waifukeks and yuritroons? Not sure if r1999 or PtN counts. Maybe Housamo if you're a slightly bi but mostly gay male
>>1838671Persona 3, not the remakeRune factory Fire Emblem, some entriesTales of, not all entries but some Those franchises, depending on the entry, to me were the most equal in how they make male and female characters appealing to everyone. But in terms of gacha there really isn't anything, the market is heavily skewed towards waifufags. Closest might be granblue but it heavily caters to waifufags too, which is saying something
>>1838321Big budget gacha killed everything. This might as well only be the LADs and NuC thread. No one wants to play or talk about the lower budget JP joseimuke anymore once they had a taste of more popular shit.>>1838679>Person still mainly panders to men more>Fire Emblem has no cute guys in the game>Tales is kill after Shitco changed direction in the new gameNow it's nothing but waifu gachas and newgens know nothing else and even argue against their own interests because Hoyo games got a bunch of people to think more waifus is feminism. It's so bad out here.
>>1838709>No one wants to play or talk about the lower budget JP joseimuke anymoreUnfortunately I don't blame them since devs keep fumbling their interesting games.
>>1838709>>Fire Emblem has no cute guys in the gamefuck you, felix is still cute
>>1838602garu could have been a decent character if his other half wasn't so insufferable and if the devs weren't so scared of the shota allegations by making his design actually cute instead of ugly bara bait
>>1838879>garu could have been a decent character if he was actually a set of twins instead of a shitty DID trope and if the devs weren't pussies that shy away from threesomesFix'd that for you
>>1837970You never see them refer to a female character as He or say they were born a man, do you?
>>1838899that too
>>1838788I'm talking about the new game. Ugly men as far as the eye can see but the female characters are all young and pretty, of course.
Joel finally got an SSR!
>>1838922Not that anon but that's why I initially said "some entries", persona 3 pandered to both men and women, especially because it had dual protags, only entry where you can date the men. Fire emblem is fine in older entries, the newest one released is obviously trash for every demographic to be quite honest. Tales of is also fine for older entries, tales of arise is the only one that's truly meh
>>1838922ngl not to sound /vpol/ but I swear there's probably some DEI agenda in the new FE because everyone has to be several degrees of brown that not even the girls look good.
>>1838709There are also high budget omni games. Speaking of, since uke!Mydei has gotten popular hoyo has released a LC that shows a younger version of him that you can get by buying into the Battle Pass. hoyo has also leaned into the fan characterization that Mydei is basically a tsun that likes to cook and clean.
>>1839021Considering they censored and changed a bunch of the supports in Engage for the west it might not be farfetched (S supports in which they just say they are happy to be your best friend while putting a ring on their fingers or Louis' love of watching women turned into love of watching people kek), I know they changed things in previous modern FEs too but I don't think it was as egregious as the latest one
>>1839000I'm so happy he finally got a SSR. I thought he'd be forgotten and stuck as a SR. The fate episode preview is really cute too.
>>1839000i love the slutty outfit they gave him but call me basic but i prefer his original look, miss gbf and its boys but i dont think i can take the grind anymore

>>1838602
>>1839199went through their socials just to see the characters, 90% of the tops look the same, 90% of the bottom look the same. Barely any beautiful, slender looking tops to be found in that game, they're almost all barashit. There is more variety for the bottoms but they're still mostly the same.I just hate how muscle packed all of them are
>>1839199I'll admit this is one of less unfortunate looking ones so far, if only he didn't have the same exact design as almost every other one so far, jesus are webtoon fujos really so afraid of any other hair color that isn't brown or black?>>1839223Cute shark
There was Senjyuushi news today, box art for the switch release and a few new characters revealed
>>1839199Oh hey, is that a Dan Heng skin? I think I've seen this type of love interest before, can't put my finger on it tho.
>>1839018I don't count Persona anymore since they made it clear they don't care about the female audience. All the games you mentioned only have it for older entries, but the new stuff has nothing to pander to women. It doesn't help the drought we're currently in now.>>1839123The problem with Hoyo as the only option since the other jrpgs franchises sold out or just don't exist is that Hoyo also can't be trusted. No one should give them any chances after Genshin. They could have kept a good thing going but anyone with a brain can catch on that they'll keep fucking over their older games just to shill new ones. This is why their only defenders now are idiot kids or young adults who play nothing else.>>1839225All of these characters look the same, it looks so boring. No wonder people don't leave Hoyo if these are the only options.
Lovebrush Chronicles is 5 years old. Happy anniversary!
Hoyo and LADS share the same problems in mixed games threads. Their playerbase will talk about the game even more if there is drama. So if you wonder why you see so much talk about them in mixed games thread, not just this one, it's because the fans won't just stop talking about it. That's why all these threads will eventually devolve into rant threads. That is the final form.
>>1839267You're replying to the moid hoyoslurper sis. Don't bother with it.
seems zerowake will have 3 hscenes per unit(s?) compared to the usual 2
>>1839249Is this bl or otome?
>>1839290fuck i should've gotten into the game when it first came out. now it's so late and i've missed so much i don't know if it's worth it anymore. anyone itt play this?
>>1839266where's that jpg of bland isekai MCs with that same hairstyle and face, this guy is literally that.>>1839307i swear those newfag "gamers" who only play gacha games like Hoyo and LADS have to be literal kids because they kept pirating $5 indie joseimuke games en masse with the excuse that $5 is too expensive to them. at least, i hope they are, because we are doomed if working adults are slurping up these kpop dramabait culture shit.
>>1839290look at my beautiful beautiful fairy king Luoxia, god he's gorgeous>>1839421not too late, join now the game is currently having a rerun. There is a channel that archives all stories and card stories of all characters. Very worth it for the main story alone
>>1839267>All the games you mentioned only have it for older entriesyes that's true. I just thought it would be good to mention anyway, in case people haven't played older titles. I'm not a fan of the current gaming landscape either if you're looking for bishounen, there simply isn't anything besides very few CN games and JP console otoges but nothing for the west
>>1839419Neither, really? There's pandering to both. I remember there was a scene where you the L96 hands you a leash that he's wearing. But it's closer to Twst or Tourabu than Lads or nucani.
>>1839421Honestly it's better now that they added quick raid and double drop tickets for the annoying card grinding. The main story routes are the best part of the game and you can play those at any time
>>1839267>All the games you mentioned only have it for older entriesexcept rune factory, where older entries have few to no bachelors while 4, 5 and Azuma have the same amount of bachelors and bachelorettes
>>1839458>tfw Oceans has a femc but all the bachelors are badAt least 2 had a cute elf boy for your kid
>>1839123I know that this is probably a hoyoshill post but I actually don't like this type of fan pandering as a ship autist. What if I don't like bottom Mydei? What if I prefer another ship rather than the popular one?Hoyo will always follow through what's popular, and this is exactly what entices tribalism between fujos even more by saying that "this ship is supported by the company, therefore better" when it shouldn't be that way.I imagine that there are probably not that many people into seme characterizations of him, but if you nonetheless not allow that freedom that's how you only get the insane rabid fangirls that'll defend hoyo with their life for making their ship canon. It just feels gross and cultish.
>>1839458but all of the best boys in rf are from the ones with only male protagonists
>>1839373How does it work? Do you have to roll both the top and the bottom to see the scenes?
>>1839428People just changed how they consume media. There's so much out and social media is centralized so it's not like how people would seek out any media that they could find, now they want fandom to come to them. Most people don't want to "invest" in something if there's no reward, so that means a one-and-done game doesn't hold as much appeal as a live service game that everyone is playing and where they can make friends or find artists or get more potential buyers for commissions if they're artists.>>1839496>this is exactly what entices tribalism between fujos even more by saying that "this ship is supported by the company, therefore better" when it shouldn't be that way.I'm also a fujo and I hate what Hoyo games have done to fujos, and actually all shippers in that community. If you don't like "company assigned" ship, too bad, and same with top/bottom, except nothing is actually canon anyway, but the fans just assume something is canon. That's why there's so many fanwars about what ship Hoyo "wants you to ship" when a character can be interacting with multiple people. I came from fandoms where fujos liked having a "fandom bicycle" or several ships so seeing the type of autism and tribalism Hoyo instills in their fans was crazy to see. More so now that I know it's actually a company tactic to encourage different people to fight and that the company buys ship tags and takes advantage of ship infighting because their games are so empty people have nothing to do but fight about ships. Shipwars have always been intense but it's worse when a company is egging the worst behavior on from everyone.
>>1839199They going strong hiring the top and most selling webtoon fujos to participate.
>>1839564>If you don't like "company assigned" ship, too badThis is so fucking funny when you remember said ships will never ever be actually canonized, so they're basically fighting for literally nothing>>1839529Good question, they haven't specified yet. Too busy posting more collabs
>>1839564have shipwars so people are distracted from the fuckass practices that retarded company enforces
>>1839373>>1839529if they're not saying it outright then that's most likely the case. kek I cant wait to see the fujos who are already worried the game is gonna actually require them to pay for shit react to this when it launches.
>>1839564Hoyo fujos are some of the most mindbroken corposlurpers i've ever interacted with in my experience. They fall for every company bait ship Hoyo puts out and the moment you point out how inorganic and boring it is they lose their minds like it's a personal insult to them, you're right about all the tribalism in Hoyo fujo spaces especially with shit like Phaidei fujos fighting and pissing off other fujos that ship Phainon with other people. As an oldfag fujo, anytime Hoyo puts out their obligatory corpo fujobait it just feels soulless and boring but the fujos that only consume Hoyoshit just slurp it up acting like the company is so "le queer friendly!" or "my corpo yaoi ship gets more bait then your corpo ship" with other pairings. It's pathetic. >>1839591The funnier part is the fact these morons genuinely believe Hoyo "supports" these ships and schizos will say the only reason why Hoyo won't make them official is because it would cause "fighting" among the fans...like fucking kek bitch, you losers are already trying to eat each other while Hoyo sits on a cash mountain watching as they throw scraps at you.
>>1839199
>>1839496>It just feels gross and cultish.That's the best way to describe pretty much any fandom. Best thing to do is enjoy your ships without arguing with other fans. If they want to label it as a crackship then who cares?>>1839564Where does hoyo stoke the flames of these fanwars? Like you, I'm used to fujo fandoms where there can be multiple ships and fans can enjoy what they enjoy in peace. Who cares about canon?>>1839653This is the strangest toxic behavior. hoyo, or any mainstream company, isn't going to confirm any fujo ship. It sounds a lot like those toxic Voltron fans that tried to make their ship 'canon'.btw I ship Gepard/Aventurine. I don't expect anyone to attack me over this pairing.
can someone ban this faggot already
>>1839904Personally I'm all for mass-reporting Hoyoshill posts. Won't work if I'm the only one doing it tho.
>>1839591>This is so fucking funny when you remember said ships will never ever be actually canonizedIt's because of Honkeks. Hi3 fans keep spreading how its such a lesbian game and now everyone believes Hoyo would totally make their ships canon if not for censorship, because they also have no knowledge of other Chinese games that don't bait shipwars the way that Hoyo does.>>1839617Shipwars, character wars, anything to distract people from criticizing the devs and they will stick around only to be able to spite other fans.>>1839653I believe it's because they don't know any better and there's nothing else competing with Hoyo for what they're offering. I wish some company would do what they're doing just to wake so many fujos up and make them learn there's better out there. I don't care if people want to ship what they want, it's the ones who actually glaze Hoyo who are the problem.
Next thread I hope we can stop talking about Hoyoshit. I agree, it's terrible. No need to waste more posts complaining about it.
>>1839965I'm fully expecting these people to react the same way western fujos react when a popular shonen ends and none of their gay ships happen so they start attacking the creators for "lying" to them kek, sure EoS is far away but ill patiently wait for the day i can laugh at them.>>1839932>>1839967Yeah im not even gonna bother replying to that gay dickrider anymore im hitting that report button
>>1839904>>1839932>>1839967At this point I won't even mind if we stopped allowing omnitrash altogether. It doesn't look like people care much about them anymore and the proper games have their own threads anyway, it just seems like an invitation for shitposters now. But I don't know how others feelEither way I'll keep reporting even if mods = fags
Does /vmg/ even have any mods? I've been to plenty other threads with "General" written in the OP that never got deleted
>>1840002They removed the rule about no generals at some point actually, so that's a-okWhether there are mods here is still a mystery however
>>1840000Same but on the other hand I don't have an issue with others talking about games like Arknights, GBF, Fate, etc., it's mostly Hoyoslop (not including ToT) I'm sick of seeing in here.
>>1840000nice quadsBut yeah I mostly agree. Arknights sisters are chill though, so I would feel bad for them.
>>1840004>>1840002don't think so, some uggo moid occasional spams waifushit in here and his posts do not get deleted no matter how often someone reports it
