Apparently one of the biggest gacha games in the market

apparently one of the biggest gacha games in the market

still has no presence outside of china and southeast asia

collabs with a very popular anime series

still virtually gets dead hype

Why did they fail to tap the western market? It's going to be a matter of time until Pokemon TCG retakes its spot as the #1 mobile game in the market and HonkRail dies in obscurity

Western see cripled character in turn based and get the fuck out in an instant.
mentaly ill japanese send them 4K of $ and then bootlick them in fear of game EOS (something that will never happen, trust the plan bro).
But i guess it's more a asian thing to have a brain that can't resist "limited" product since chinese also spend all their money on it

Because Mihoyo are actually good devs and are reinvesting all the gacha money into more despite it not being the smart choice economically speaking since it cannibalizes revenue
But who cares, they actually like making these games and it shows, they're good

no presence

Literally 1.1 million redditors on their subreddit, what the fuck are you on about
Do western collabs all the time too, show trailers in western shows

I'm never sure what I should be doing in gachas

The main quest would be a good guess, dumbass

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

How much did they pay you to post this?

The problem is unlike other gachas like fgo or blue archive there is no consistency with either the enemies or the 5 stars so you could get the best character archeon and blaze through most content or pull for argenti and have a stroke also the grind to level up to just complete quests its to much

Tendie still trying to convince itself

there is thousand of 5 millions sub influencer that you never heard or even aknowledge in your life

nah they dont the side content sucks and most money goes into these dumb concerts and anneversary events, most yaun goes to ccp so either you are a retard or incomptent

I liked how they couldn't pay for Gil in the Fate collab so they just made a literal chinese knockoff of him. Incidentally one of the only designs in the game I like. Classic

Follow around the quest pointers like a brainless ant and when you hit a progress wall you go spend daily stamina in dungeons for equipment and the 1000 different materials needed for improving characters.

I'm too busy with WuWa

influencer

That's not a video game. MGS subreddit has 319k, resident evil has 869k. Yeah I'm thinkin 1.1 million is pretty good for a video game

>still has no presence outside of china and southeast asia

the amerimutt cope as his industry goes to the shitter day by day

steals meme from Nikke

Will we ever see any original content from the Black company?

In case you haven't paid attention this past week: 4 niggas in a row and anime don't work in the west

no presence outside of china and southeast asia

everyone in my college/school plays it. Even my cousins play it.
Im not used to normalfags talking about anime but nowadays it seems to be normal now.
The only downside is that faggots who cry about loli is 10000x from what it used to be.

faggots who cry about loli is 10000x from what it used to be

For every fag who complains there's 10 people converted into lolicons. And even the fag who complains is probably a lolicon in secret

a lolicon in secret

Nah they are full time pedo that shouldn't ever let alone with a kid in sight

The largest video game industry is still in America, dumb bitch

Maybe by expenses but not by revenue China, Japan and America have a more or less comparable revenue, but China has much lower costs because the wages aren't as inflated
China has Tencent, Netease and Mihoyo, Japan has Sony, Nintendo, SquEnix, Bamco Sega and Konami, America has Microsoft, Epic, EA, T2
All these 3 countries come to be around 45-50 billion in revenue every year
Korea is actually growing a fuckton, Nexon and Krafton are getting pretty big, nowhere near the big 3 though

Imagine comparing mihoyo to an actual giant like Nintendo, Sega, or EA. mihoyo is like 1/10th of those companies

lol

Hoyo is already bigger than Sega. Keep up

No it's not

Over 1.5 billion every year from sales on mobile alone. Add up console, PC and merch sales and it's a revenue of 3 billion+ a year. Meanwhile Sega is sitting at a revenue of $2.1 billion for 2024
Hoyo isn't a traded company so you won't google the numbers but we know their monthly revenue on mobile, add that up

why do content created seethe so uncontrollably at this game?

makes more money than any other 4-niggas-in-a-row in history by orders of magnitude

sizable chunk of that money comes from the west, and not just mobile, as it still tops charts in consoles and pc (same revenue tier as Fortnite in EGS)

its fansites and dedicated forums/subreddits have much more users than some classic, long storied franchises

everyone, everywhere going crazy over nasushit collab and the pokemon clone

You are retarded, OP

I like the men in this game they actually look like men

because its a dogshit game by dogshit studio

Because Mihoyo are actually good devs

kill yourself hoyotroon.

it's so funny how mihoyo mindbroke so many people

dumb concerts and merchs

Better than spending for DEI

i would play this to complete the mihoyo trifecta, but fuck four niggas in a row gameplay.

collabs with a very popular anime series

??? First I heard of this.

Do western collabs all the time too, show trailers in western shows

?????????????

amerimutt

I'm not American, this proves it's popular in the West

China being a larger market proves it's popular in the west

I have not met a single person who plays any of these Mihoyo games.

I have not met a single person who plays any of these Mihoyo games.

living in your mother's basement and out of my taxes will do that

Nigga even my fucking bank uses genshin and honkai images when they are trying to sell google play cards.

??? How

Also, anyone in their right mind would never play hoyo games because its games are made in china, which means you make yourself prone to CCP collecting your data and to spy on you. Lastly, western games and japanese games are always miles better than any chink games produced.

All the effort and marketing goes to stuff on youtube and other video websites

Meanwhile the "games" are content deserts

case in point

Because Mihoyo are actually good devs

If they were good devs they'd devote themselves to making a good game rather than pumping out gacha shit to profit off gambling addicts

To be fair no one is rich enough to buy Gil, he has better movies and shows to be in than repeating the same story over again.

I still don't get why these gotcha companies don't invest like 1% of their profits into making real games on the side

Games like genshin and this one have hundred of hours of gameplay to new players thanks to stacking years of content

okay chang

because asians are the only ones who actually play gacha and pay good money

I play Xenoblade, Tales, Guilty Gear, Persona, multiple games and series with "anime-style" graphics.

I just hate ching chongs so I refuse to play Hoyoslop, simple as.

I LOVE MY WIFE ACHERON BONSAIMERI MEI

I've given every hoyoslop a chance but couldn't stick to any of them except Genshin.
What a shame they struck gold with it then let it stagnate to finance and market cheaper and more profitable games.

the fuck you talking about? This is one of the most if not most popular game in NA. Probably more than WoW + Runescape + LoL combined. You just don't really see it on streaming sights because a majority of the players are casuals on ipads and college students on mobile.

one of the most popular games in NA

Lmao

A good indication of how stale chink gachas have gotten is the uncanny similarity between the character designs of HSR and wuthering waves. They're totally interchangeable. It's been going nowhere but downhill for a long time now.

Among the many gacha developer i feel like hoyoverse are one of the few that actually tried to put some efforts in their games, instead of being 2d flash cashgrabs like 99% of the japanese ones. But i despise them as well because unlike the japs they reinvested everything they made only to make even more gachas cannibalizing themselves, instead of trying to do some classic AA games with almost unlimited funds. Like, try to do a finished game for once, it's not like you're going to lose anything, in fact many would be willing to try a hoyo game that isn't a gacha, for once.

because its games are made in china, which means you make yourself prone to CCP collecting your data and to spy on you. Lastly, western games and japanese games are always miles better than any chink games produced.

so how is that any different from having steam installed

Steam is American and is a private company who ensures my privacy, hoyo is directly affiliated with CCP

based

This is star rail right? I kinda feel like I'd like some game where I can do the dailies and like 10$ a month to pull good looking females and watch damage numbers go up, you think it's the best gacha I should try?

I'm pretty sure a lot of gacha games already tried putting out full priced games
