Chaos Zero Nightmare is scheduled for release on October 22, 2025 and will be available worldwide for both mobile and PC.>developed by Super Creative and Smilegate
>>1857994the girls are sex but I don't know if I wanna trust Smilegate
>>1857994>animu tits deckbuilderbased>smilegate>50/50>weapon bannerits over
>>1858068They made some announcements in a recent dev video, so it's still 50/50 but not Mihoyo's model where it's 50% useful rateup and 50% dogshit worthless garbage that was already powercrept by limited characters day 1 on release, everyone other than collabs/actual limiteds goes to standard pool. So in theory it's more like 50% rateup/40% useful off-banner/10% terrible or male offbanner"weapons" are all in exchange shop so you can just literally never roll weapon gacha unless you're a whale.smilegate is still a huge worry though, better get ready to gatekeep all the normalfags on every single social media platform if you don't want them convincing smilegate to pull another epic 7
thankfully gacha garbage is dead
>>1858052It has males on the banners, the MC is cameraman, and there is no pandering. Take that into account before deciding to play.
>>1858088>it's still 50/50then its still shit, sure you can get another girl while rolling but at the end you were rolling for the banner girl and not another one>"weapons" are all in exchange shopthats good i guess but well have to see the currency income rate>smilegate is still a huge worry thoughwhile the gameplay looks good and the sluts are cute im not really invested so ill just drop it if things go south, though i still want the game to be good
>>185812950/50 on it's own is amazing and absolutely shits on almost ever single style of gacha ever invented. It's only dogshitshit in Mihoyo-style games because they slapped it on as a a bandaid to cover how ridiculously stingy they are with gacha income, especially in early Genshin.
I gotta agree with anon regarding the 50/50 partYou either need to have above average rates or a 50/50 that guarantees the characterJust played a gacha with mid rates and no 50/50 and it was absolute miserable not getting the banner character after dozens of pulls
>>1857987>taffyShe cute, but who cares? It's still good 2-3 years from completion and it was announced like two years ago back when it was still called Project Mugen.
This game has too many things going for it, there's no way they are going to nail every single thing and if one things goes wrong it will fail>Went from Genshin competition to GTA competition.>AAA budget F2P game but nothing of value to sell>Multiplayer isn't the big focus>No mods, UGC or something that gives infinite replayabilityMy prediction is that it will have popularity at the beginning and like any other FOTM will drop sharply, but instead of having huge profits, ananta wont even break even.
>>1858235Where Winds Meet is a similar game and it's been out in China for more than 8 months, (global version comes out in a month.) If that one is doing well (not sure how well though) then Ananta just has to follow behind it.
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance will release October 09, 2025 So this week It's a (gacha) MMORPG with a focus on action combat
>>1858278It has some interesting designs, to say the least Not really my kind of game tho
>>1858264That game is chinkwank slop, of course it doing well in china
>>1858264this >>1858314 but it isn't really similarIt doesn't have competition and its one of the biggest genres on china, which transcends videogames.Seems like a more multiplayer centric gameWe don't know anything about budget or development, it could either be a extreme exception or be operating at a loss, at the very least i doubt it had as much budget as Ananta will have.
>>1858264in terms of CN mobile revenue it beat genshin in september (supposedly)
>>1858419I’m guessing this game is one of the reasons why they dropped the gacha system
>>1858419also damn, delta farce is crazy popular in CN
>>1858444Maybe. WWM and marvel rivals are the only netease games I play/played, so I'm not sure how their gacha games are doing.
Taffy already getting porn
>>1858419it has multiplayer, pvp, pve, raids and all that shit.is not that hard to beat genshin, most games on top of the list don't even spend as much to do it either
Trickcal launching globally on October 9
>>1858278Is this an actual MMO like non-mobile BP or is it gimped?
>>1858264The team fucked up the CBT. More than 30k keys were given, but the game had around 1.5k concurrent players at most on steam. I doubt it will be successful in the West.>>1858278I saw many players in the CBT. There were always people around. If Bokura doesn't fuck up like it already did in China, the game will be a hit in the West.If Bokura fucks it up again, it's over for anime MMORPGs.>>1858597It's an MMO but gacha (imagin)
>>1858544Is this supposed to be a simultaneous english and japanese release?>>1858597The original was an actual mmo that flopped so bad in delivering content that the reboot was claimed to be better so that as you will
>>1858733I'll take it with a grain of salt since I played the original, and I don't want a mobile "reimagining" that has like 10 players on screen at once.
>>1857951I was going to ask "You French or something?" because onions are such a thing there but then I noticed that apparently 4chan has a filter so if you say the type of sauce made a certain kind of beans it gets filtered into "onions sauce". Whoops.
>>1858746Forgot pic.
>>1858278Can you do most content by yourself and/or with bots, no other living players involved? The girls look cool but if I have to engage in socialslop I'll just play trickcal
>>1858503There's even a good LORA out for making AI art.>>1858754When I played the beta I found the bots to be pretty dumb so for harder content I suggest getting with players. I'm not the social person I used to be so I won't be playing the release version but the beta was a good experience because it was my first time guilding with fellow anons in a MMO. Here is the end of beta guild photo. My character is the short redhead girl standing near the center making the downward v pose.
>>1858754MMORPGs aren't for you then
>>1858314And Ananta is ""anime slop"" which China also likes.>>1858329>Seems like a more multiplayer centric gameThen that's one thing Ananta should borrow from WWM. Consistent multiplayer content like pvp, pve, raids, etc, on top of the single-player experience. We can also wait for Duet Night Abyss launching first and take notes if their live-service model works for them or not.
>>1858810As a rule of thumb you are either full blown multiplayer or don't have anything regular at all. As long as you want a healthy amount of single player content.. do NOT make the mistake and try to do MP as well. Look at Tower of Fantasy. Trying to do both will make you fail at both. They are not very compatible.
>>1858754>>1858759>>1858767They can do it like FFXIV does roulettes I guess. You could always find people to do dungeons relatively quickly without having to talk to anyone, they even gave bonus rewards if there were new players on the party.
>>1858815WWM does both, and it's successful because it's chinkwanking>>1858816I agree, but BPSR's multiplayer instances aren't as easy as ToF's. They have gear checks and mechanics in higher difficulties. They should make the game easier for casuals but I doubt they know what they are doing.Another option would be hard content only giving cosmetics and titles
>>1858837FFXIV roulette dungeons also have gear checks and mechanics, like one shotting the party if you fail the mechanic, or stacking damage debuffs. Everyone gets down leveled to the appropriate dungeon level/gear level. For an example of a boss encounter in the roulette:https://youtu.be/MLCopmT_6fk?si=QiVx8vJ-7Xwg9Mqn&t=29I don't see why it couldn't be implemented too.
How the hell is roco kingdom world still in development? Shit was announced in 2020
>>1858810>Then that's one thing Ananta should borrow from WWM.This game is trying to be everything and you want it to be an MMO AND make everything good? Shit what is this, E3 pre-2010?>We can also wait for Duet Night Abyss launching first and take notes if their live-service model works for them or not.DNA is nowhere near the scope of Ananta, even if it fails i wouldn't use it as evidence, non-gacha live service game existed before and most of them failed for many reasons beyond just the model.
>>1858874R&D funds probably
>>1858874They need to hide the sex scenes
>>1858874it's nearing release now thankfullythey did have to model like hundreds of monsters and animate them individuallythat must've taken most of their time
>>1858929and the size of the launch version is likely going to be 30gb (for mobile devices), so i'm assuming there's a lot of contentwe'll see how many monsters and areas are available at launch in a couple weeks
>>1858733Simultaneous English, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese release. The original Korean release is two years ahead while the Mainland Chinese version will apparently lag behind global by one month.
>>1858879>you want it to be an MMO AND make everything goodNot EVERYTHING, I'm saying they could retain an audience through multiplayer-focused content as the main seller, I can live with a mediocre single-player. However I just remembered the interview they had at TGS so they'll probably do the opposite instead. >>1858815The IGN interview was all about how they're gonna enrich the open world and expand it overtime but honestly I'm not super confident on how they'll keep that interesting in the long run.
>>1859134The main problem you have with these games is that you need to decide WHICH AUDIENCE you want.There's only two types of live service games. One where you log in and do content as it comes and when there's no content left you play other games of this kind or in general.And then there's one you play all the time when you feel like playing the game. These are generally multiplayer, stuff like MOBA, shooters and whatnot, but can also be MMO.It's just not a very compatible concept, as both takes a LOT of work to make good, and nobody can play two games of the latter kind without going insane, especially not if you also add the MMO layer of dailies/weeklies on top.This is why it's so important to focus. If you are too time consuming, everyone who comes for the first category will leave anyways. They likely play other games like that as well. And if the MP part is too half assed, people coming for the second kind of game will also leave as it's not fun enough for what they want out of their "regular" game.Again, Tower of Fantasy. I tried it when it launched, but stopped playing because dailies took way too long, and the MP parts weren't to my liking either. It kinda felt like it wanted to be everything at once and was nothing as a result. Even though the combat was kinda fun.
>>1859151>This is why it's so important to focus.What do you think should be the focus likely to keep the game alive, then? I already brought up MP as the path to follow but like I said, it's likely Netease won't go that way, judging by the interviews. I have very little experience in "free" live-service games that don't focus on multiplayer (besides gacha) so I can't bring good examples of other games doing this and succeeding.
>>1859427Nta but as of now, even if the game had expensive items i don't see the game lasting long unless it doesn't have constant updates, it has negative profit and some rich oil prince is backing the game or the fanbase is, very, very big, marvel levels of big, wuxia levels of big or even bigger.Where Winds Meet is the ONLY real example of a F2P game, with big scope and cosmetic only... the thing is that its an MMO-lite and its wuxia themed, which chinese people love. It's funny how all these questions about if the game will succeed or not is it not being aggressive enough lol, If it has some kind of progress that is gatekept by playing, i could see some players paying to skip that but this game isn't an RPG or isn't looking to be anything similar so there's that.
Anime is way bigger than wuxia in china, like ~800bil rmb vs ~100-150bil rmb annual revenue. I think Ananta will be fine if the devs don't fuck shit up drastically. It also has the advantage of building fanbases for each of the playable characters while WWM is all about the MC (some fan favorites have already been killed off, not that they'd ever be playable so w.e). Who knows, maybe they'll do some roblox style UGC shit that genshin is trying to do right now.
>>1859151The number of people that don't understand this basic fact is astounding.
>>1859568That just false equivalence, Anime is a medium, while Wexia is a genre. You cannot just say the entire "anime" is a genre and put every revenue together, that's not how it works.
Is easy.People like to free roam in GTA single and multiplayer mode just doing random shit, and they can keep playing for hours just doing "nothing".If Ananta somehow nails this aspect, then it's a guaranteed success. If not, then they will have to rely on the usual patch schedule of content releases, so no different from a gacha.
>>1859676People bought GTA though, that's instant revenue. People would do exactly what you mentioned and will quit without spending a dime.Also, GTAO wasn't successful only because of single player and multiplayer, it was also because of mods and UGC, you probably already saw the shorts/tik toks of cars falling/racing down a ramp> no different from a gacha.Well gacha is predatory as fuck and constantly warps the story to sell a character or meta.
>>1858278Characters in game are HSR npc level ugly who is going to gacha for this,especially for Amazon induced safe wokeslop,you'd think that failure would make them do something about it.
>>1859676That's why making a safe system where you aren't wanted by the police is retarded,being chased is great way to kill boredom.
the disadvantage of playing any chink game is that they always cut corners to not upset their governmentno parody, no humor, no crime, no violence, only the bad guys get to be killed and those bad guys are always monsters or look like monsters or turn into monsters, you are le ebin hero who has absolutely no flaws like the perfect chink bugmen, everyone sucks your dick within 3 seconds of meeting, no room for mc to improvecomplete safe garbagethe entire appeal of gta is that it's like real world but you can actually do stuff in there that you wouldn't in real worldhere, it seems you play as a cop that gets fellated by the entire town, even if you punch and kick them
>>1859811oh and you can bet petit planet is also going to be shit even if it has several other advantages over animal crossing like multiplayer minigames or regular eventsthe characterization will be worse than new horizons, and that is the major appeal of animal crossingpeople already hate how the villagers in new horizons are neutered garbage where everyone is friendly towards you unlike how they were mean and would get angry at the player
>>1859806It's an MMO you gacha autistAnd Amazon has nothing to do with it. The English version never even released.
>>1859811You can literally kill children and steal from people in where winds meet and there's a crime system (including sending player bounty hunters if the npc cops can't handle you) where you can get locked up and your friends can break you out of prison. Ananta being tame as fuck is more likely that they want more kids to play it.
when is petit planet test?
Lots of more stuff has been showing up of Codename Cedar thanks to the Chinese OBT. This is my favorite design so far. Also, I find it hilarious that the devs refer to the players as comrades but it works since it's a uses a cold war-ish setting and is fully voiced in Russian. I guess that means Cedar players will be affectionately calling each other comrades.
>>1860715russwank game? weird
>>1860729Here's a video of gacha pulling if you want to see what it looks like, a Chinese gacha game with Russian speaking waifus.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk6TCArCKHg
>>1860734Reminds me of Ash Arms...
>>1860011>Ananta being tame as fuck is more likely that they want more kids to play it.I hope this retarded corporate sensibility isn't enough to nerf swimsuits again and get absurd garbage like pic related.
>>1860839Like, what's the fucking point? If I remember correctly Taffy also has her panties on top of her black spats for some reason.
>>1860839>>1860840lol
roco kingdom test begins on 23rd
>>1860839>>1860840KWAB
>>1860882>opens one week after Legends ZA is outSmart move. People will play Legends and eventually find defects in the game, which will serve as indirect advertisement for Roco Kingdom since shills and haters will compare both games for (You)s. It'll also give the devs a list of stuff people want or that is missing in their own game.
>>1860894Lol Pokeshills probably wont even know this game exists period.
>>1860898Most of us wouldn't even know of it if it wasn't because of the blatant shill that is in these threads.
>>1860715Cute loli rosa>>1860882Global?
>>1860894legends za does look fun thoughyeah the visuals are dogshit, but most gamers don't mind as long as the gameplay is fun
>>1857987Who no one talks about dragon sword on this board,is this shit an investor scam or something? It had cbt,before AP even and looks great.
[Industrial News]Kuro Games has an recruitment campaign.
>>1860992You are free to talk about any anime world games that has been announced. Not just ananta
>>1861025Not a good sign
>>1861056It's ok when Hoyo does it
>>1860839>>1860840I's so blatantly meant to be modded out, they even shaded the "extra" part a completely different color so modders can just eyedrop tool the extra parts and instantly delete it. The guy who's been screaming about how Ananta can't be modded and is going to die because of it is retarded. This is another way they're appealing to all-ages. Really tame outfits that have ridiculously blatant (modders this extra part here would be super easy to instantly delete wink wink). They may even drop a "fan" mod that does exactly that
>>1861222Only on PC. The rest are stuck with the retarded designs.
>>1858503not surprised, you can even see a panty shot of her in the trailer website
>>1858503>search "ananta" on gelbooru>first two images are blacked porn of TaffyIt seems that the game is really attracting the GTA audience, albeit in an unexpected way.
>>1861313And she'll get a thousand more
>>1861313>AI slopI wouldn't count that as fanart
>>1861317Gelbooru doesn't allow AI shit tho.>the artist who made these works is named "lewdrover"lul
>>1861222I mean this is Ananta right now so we might not even need de-censoring mods unless some ghoul on a suit pushes for bikini removal again.
>>1861222>>1861344And this is how it looked in the Dec 4 2024 trailer. There's always a chance they go back to pic related though, you never know with these corpos nowadays.
Anyone notice how only the PlayStation version of the ananta trailer had the sniper section censored? There isn't even any blood so wtf?
>>1861372Lol, no. Not at all.The game will be pretty sanitized, to be honest.
>>1861372kirk shooting
[Game news] Duet Night Abyss will be launching on 28th of October this month
>>1857987Reminder, you can download her up-to-date mmd model from aplaybox.:https://www.aplaybox.com/details/model/1kNBqP0icDcY
>>1861736Lol, can't wait for how janky it will be.I seriously doubt they polished that much in a few months considering they had to overhaul their whole monetization when changing from gacha characters/weapons.
>>1862287>chinese phone numberit's on the official website as well
>>1862313>it's on the official website as wellYou sure? I can't find any links there.
>>1862527Oh actually i found it on their bilibili TGS post, theres mmc, richie, and taffyhttps://www.bilibili.com/blackboard/era/swHMAk81OPZBYkda.html
>>1857987morefun studios posted thisgame's name might change before release, but most likely they will listen to the comments and keep it as is
>>1864566Why is suddenly everyone trying to make their own monster catching game now? It reminds me of the 90s where everyone wanted to have their own Pokeclone and even had toy/card lines and anime in the works before the games were even out.
>>1864773>suddenlyThis one has been in development longer than any chinese pokemon ripoff.
[Game news] According to game industry news (“ 游戏新知”), one of (bytedance) just opened the last paid beta test before about to launch. It would be one of original IP in the game. There are CN testers who said that there is a lack of voice on the game but when asked the support, they said there is in the settings which it doesn’t.https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/VyBnaZdkBQAAlPUpIyrd9wOne of the game that was testing is actually going to be launching globally as crunchyroll will basically be a publisher and managing the game.https://www.bleach-soulresonance.com/

roco kingdom test is live, if anyone wants to watch the gameplay (mostly focusing on co-op features)i wonder when they'll plan on actually marketing the game for global audience, and not just cryptic posts from the studio like these >>1864566 with complete uncertainty whether it'll even launch globallypetit planet is also beginning beta on 7th next monthlooks pretty boring actuallythey even have voice acting which sounds so weird and completely ruins the gamepart of the ac charm is interpreting the villager expressions by yourselfit looks like they're just capitalizing on new horizons just like pokopia (both have shitty terraforming plastered as a feature, which was a complete nuisance in acnh) instead of delivering an actual ac experience
>>1870364>roco kingdom test is live, if anyone wants to watch the gameplay (mostly focusing on co-op features)Man, these designs are so ass that make nu-pokemon look great.

Roco's designs are better than hoyo's pokeslop
>>1873766thisi don't care if they are "uninspired", they at least look better than digimon, yokai watch or nexus anima monster designsbesides, we haven't seen the entire dex, and there are already some good designsplus hna is gachashit p2w autobattle slop, it's definitely not gonna survive against roco
>>1873775Hna just looks cheap
HNA is gonna rape roco shartdom
>>1871682>>1871685Cute
reminder that hna had a beta test and literally no one cared or even bothered to document what the game is like or what creatures it hasit didn't even have more than 500 views on twitch lol
oh and hna has a really weird type system too>love>hate>war>peace>foodloland i just looked it ip, it only has 65 monsmeanwhile last time roco updated their development plans, they already had about 300-450 mons
>>1873798>>>>>FoodYep, it's hoyoslop alright
hoyo is just getting mogged by other studios nowthey thought no other company would bother making something better than genshin so they started slacking off and became greedy, and there comes mugen anally destroying zzzthen tencent introduces both roco and animula nook against hoyo's nexus anima and petit planet
>not even 10 good designsno wonder it's forgotten slop just months after its reveal
>>1873808Too much fucking shit going on with the designs, looks like cheap shit
>>1873810their petit planet designs look exactly the same: overdesigned shitthere's a reason animal crossing is popular, it's simple sanrio style animal charactersanimula nook does animal/villager designs better
>>1873814Haven't heard of this game until now, looks better
Idk why hoyo can't just keep it simple stupid. Their busy designs, convoluted dialogue/story, everything. Just overdone for no reason
>>1873818women developersthey are infested with rabid feminist bitchesthe studio hasn't been the same since da wei begged for funding (to develop genshin)
>>1873766Both Roco and Honkai's monsters are bottom of the barrel slop, but hoyo's slop is slightly better simply because it has less generic round blobs than Roco Kingdom. Gameplay-wise RK demolishes HNA, however. The retard who decided to make the game an autochess battler needs to be fired.>>1873775>they at least look better than digimon, yokai watchNow this is just contrarianism. Even Digimon and Yokai's worst monsters are better than the crap chinks are producing.
>>1873837>overdesigned slop is le gooddogshit taste, i don't think you should voice your opinions again
>>1873858I never called hoyo's designs "good" you imbecile. All I said is that their trash is slightly less bad than Roco Kingdom's slop.
>>1873808My mom's overdesigned animals....
Now that DNA shat the bed, what are looking forward to?
>>1873896Ananta, roco kingdom
>>1873896wuwa sa*ar

I love roco kingdom's artstyle it's so fucking cute
Wow you can even hold hands and shit, this is too cute
>>1870364Is there anyway I can sign up and play the game?
>>1874273Raped...
grabbing anon's hand and dragging him to the secluded alley against his wish
>>1874447Nooooooooooo!!!
Honestly, is hilarious how low quality DNA is.Not to be harsh, but releasing that in 2025 is objectively bad, specially after showcases of games like Ananta, Endfield and even NTE that has some good things going on.But it was never going to change much after seeing how the CBTs were anyway.
>>1874465It's their first real game, they got delusional and too ambitious
>>1874465they couldn't even be bothered to make good character designs, especially when their game is literally monetized on cosmeticsi didn't even bother picking it uplooks like typical low effort gachashit despite not being a gachathere's a reason people pour money into fortnite, character designs matter
>japan patent office rejects nintendo's patent due to previous work of art (ark)kek
oh i can already imagine how much tendies, shittendo and lamefreak are gonna seethe when roco kingdom releases and gets away with "stealing" their mechanics because china/tencent
>>1874465Unsurprising, the Chinese at best know how to copy games but they don't understand game design
>>1874488Trying to retroactively patent a mechanic that is like 35 years old at this point is hilarious, palworld didn't make nintendo or the pokemon company try harder in their next game, instead they spent that money uselessly on lawyers. They are even worse than the chinese, at the very least competition made mihoyo put in a bit more effort (skip function for HSR, more models for genshin), even though they are still shit.
when will this shit released
Resonance Solstice releasing today Pre-download already available
*ahem*sex with this thing
>>1875611can we change their clothes? this shit is so overdesigned
>>1875611the artstyle on the left looks better, wish they looked like that (but 3d and with celshading) in game
>>1874507Ananta? Probably not for a while, I'm surprised they had a TGS demo for people even though they said something along the lines of being still in early development. Like doesn't that mean there's at least a few more years? I saw some demo footage that people posted online and a lot of the movement animation looks like it needs work. I really want to play this game though, feels like something I can sink a lot of time if the main story and characters are entertaining.
>>1875611
Who the fuck wants an AC clone. The solution to wanting more AC is playing more AC

>>1877314they're probably regular villagersi guess we'll see how they handle roles in this game in a few days
>>1877300Twink Blathers.
how does heartopia's test work? i just got to download the game because i pre-registered, will i be able to get in the game when the test opens?
These will be the requirements for Petit Planet, at least for its closed beta.
heartopia cbt is live and it's funthere's an entire pre-built city, with some plots on the corners of the map that are occupied by whatever players join the serverit isn't top-down like animal crossing (or petit planet), it feels like an actual townpretty much everything seems interactable, swings, musical instruments, vehicles, etci think you can also hold hands with other players but i haven't figured out how to do that yet
>>1879454Can you post screenshots or videos of the game?
>some random girl added me as friends and held my handsWHAT THE FUCK DID SHE MEAN BY THIS BROS?
This game is so cute lol
hand holding in roco kingdom and heartopia
>>1879739Lewd af
>see gameplay videos of Heartopia>there's a crafting system with recipes>tools are breakable>saw something resembling the Nook Miles system from NHThis alone is enough to make me lose the little interest in the game I had. The ugly characters (which are a mix of AC's chibi faces and The Sims' more realistic proportions) and seemingly lack of interesting NPC are other issues I have with the game.
oh nice, looks like you can dress up the neighbors, or at least they have alt costumes
so far in petit planet- no gacha yet, will likely be introduced later when the game launches, everything can be purchased with f2p currency for now- each villager is distinct unlike animal crossing's personalities, they have their own likes and dislikes- terraforming is significantly faster than animal crossing new horizons instead of manually editing every tilegame looks ok, but just like i feared, this one really doesn't have much charmthe catch quotes are bland and lacking entirely in puns, the dialogue doesn't seem any better eitheri guess we'll see if it improves or becomes just another clone that people will forget when the next animal crossing title releases
handholding and sharing a mat before marriage
>>1881490I'll give this game a shot since I have nothing better to do for now
ngl petit planet looks incredibly boring, but maybe that's just because there aren't too many people talking about it despite sorting by latest on twitter or youtubethe most i've seen is that it does a few things better than animal crossing new horizons, but doesn't have the same vibe as animal crossingno witty puns, no amusing dialoguethe only gripe i have with new horizons right now is that it has shallow multiplayer, but once that gets fixed it might become the best animal crossing to date (there's still some hope since they are still updating the game)heartopia on the other hand is a lot better than i expected
>>1881616Ah shit, guess I pre-reg'd too late to get in on the game. Maybe next time.
played heartopia for 5 days, and i can say it's the best upcoming lifesim so far- no tedious island terraforming crap, the island is already pre-built with iconic landmarks everywhere, and has 4 plots for players on three sides of the town (so upto 12 players can be loaded into a session at a time)- multiplayer content is much better than animal crossing, players can interact with other players and join events/parties/etc without any loading times at all- hobbies are extensive and reward progression, each level unlocks something new to discover (there are seven hobbies for now: gardening, cooking, fishing, bug catching, bird watching, cat care, dog care)- tool durability is far less tedious, you can easily gather materials required for upgrade kits which can then be set up anywhere to repair tools (and is also an aoe, so multiple players can repair their tools with a single repair kit- lifesim and multiplayer are satisfying, there are multiple items that can be bought and used for creating minigames (portals, roll dice, etc), plus the chinese version has had several events since release
>>1879715yeah, it's the most SOVLful monster tamer gamelove the different animations and interactions with the monster pets
>>1883964
>>1883964How SOVLful is roco compared to HNA?
>>1884010hna is just low quality slop like star rail and petit planet (and zzz after launch)
>>1883964>>1883966Is this game even playable without gf
>>1884017anon, you find a girl you wanna marry in the gamethat's why it has handholding
>>1884015>mihoyo games>low quality slopnice bait
>>1883966the loli is hot
>>1884028having high production values does not automatically mean its not slop, and thats even less of an excuse with all the resources available
>>1884028>mihoyo "games" (aka visual novels with epic black screen fades with boring text "cutscenes")>not low quality slopmost of hoyo's budget goes into advertising and deploying shills
>>1884091her reactions are super cute>>1871682>>1871685
>>1884028Here is how "high" quality mihoyo games are.Let us not forget the 60 minutes "cutscene" of a static picture in the latest HSR patch.
>>1884179Xisters...? Our response??...
>>1884179you forgot the mandatory black text on white screen at the end of x.0 storylines
this game is so cute
>watch nexus anime footage>abysmal dogshit monster designs and autochess "gameplay"now we know why literally no one talked about the game even during its betahoyo is only good at environment design
Is Heartopia exclusive to CN?
>>1884179even literal slideshow of vns have better presentation than this
>>1884438no, will be releasing for globalthey are having a test now
>>1884190you can feed and pet wild animals too
>>1884708
>>1884709bunnies are so cute
GIVE ME HAND HOLDING SIMULATOR NOOOOOOW
heartopia is such an interesting game honestlyyou're probably just chilling in your house and then suddenly a couple of girls show up to sit next to you on the couch, then play with your pets, then randomly add you as friend and hold your hands(literally happened a few minutes ago lol)i've never been so excited for a lifesim game beforethis game really handles lifesim and multiplayer so perfectly>>1884981i think heartopia's releasing early next year, maybe januaryno idea about roco kingdom though
hope this game releases sooni'm gonna miss it after the beta
animula nook faq:- more customization options are planned- more zones/areas are planned, such as forest, food-restaurant, bustling plaza, and a mysterious mushroom zone on top of the existing floral sea- each zone will have its own unique inhabitants, minigames, collectibles and gathering mechanics, and hidden surprises- the game world will sync with real world- it'll have day/night system, seasons and special weather conditions such as auroras- it'll also have real world festivals- "villagers" are called minies, and each have their own personality, likes/dislikes, daily routine, custom dialogue (no repeated lines across villagers of one personality in animal crossing)- game will be on pc/mac, ps5, and switch 2- cross-platform progress syncing is being worked on
I like the monster designs honestlyPlus there's variety too
>>1885222>state mandated gf but in vidyaThis game can't come out soon enough even if there's little-to communication in-game I would still spill my spaghetti if someone's character held my character's hand
>>1885607little-to-no*
>>1885446I hope it will run well on my 2019 Macbook Pro

so there're only 10 villagers in petit planet? and it looks like they all need to be settled on your planet since they have important functions locked to them, like one's a shopekeeper, other is your only way into other areas of the game, etc

>>1888901Maybe if youre talking about the zoomer generation ones. At least the combat in those games still require actual strategy instead of being a raw numbers game.
>>1888871This actually could btfo ananta to be honest
>>1888909lmao!
>>1888887I hate to break it to you, but all these chinese open-world games are pseudo visual novels.
>>1889046Yeah. Most open-world games are kinda barebones including western ones.
>>1888871What is this style supposed to even be? Waking up to Uncanny Valley: UE5 Edition is not what I expected today.
>>1889322Reminded me of the later Star Ocean games like 5 and 6, or Xenosaga 2. Shit were creepy.
i really don't feel any excitement for endfieldex astris was so much better, even if people didn't understand the plot and lore because of localization issuesi just wish it gets a dlc at least, or maybe gets ported to the switch devices like popucom did
I only feel somewhat excited for Ananta.
>>1887799yeah I only log into ZZZ like once or twice a week.
