gacha gambling shit
low effort mass produced AI slop replacing actual artists
forced engagements via dailies and battle passes
gamers just happily lap all off these up like obedient little lapdogs
since when did our standards became so low? At this point some games are more of a chore and money sink than an actual game.
Starting from the release of the first Iphone.
It’s a zoomer thing. Growing up with smartphones fried their brains.
they're masochists, they're addicted to the feeling of being abused
Because only 2% of us are needed to bankroll the entire game. So even though most of our standards are high, they're looking for ones willing to spend the cash.
I think gamers are some of the biggest shit eaters when it comes to media, with Anon Babblefags being a close second.
Oh piss off, retard. Don't pretend you faggots aren't drooling at the mouth over the next lazy remaster of your childhood favorite.
I never met a single person IRL who plays gacha shit. I know a few dudes from Discord who say they're into gacha, but all they do is post softcore porn on Twitter.
next lazy remaster of your childhood favorite.
I haven't even bought a game in over 2 years.
Microsoft starting the paid online shit or Bethesda with the horse armor dlc
Maybe it happened even earlier than that but that's when shit started getting accepted
gacha gambling
people love gambling, they have for tens of thousands of years
ai replacing artists
what game is actually using AI to replace most art assets? I'm guessing a handful of no-name indies and a few that use it for background shit no one looks at anyway.
forced engagements via dailies and battle passes
oh no, a reason to play the game regularly, what a tragedy. how could the new york times "force engagement" by giving me a new wordle every day?
palworld
gacha gambling shit
Same reason people accepted pay mechanics in older MMOs, because it means the game is free to play.
low effort mass produced AI slop replacing actual artists
What games are actually using AI?
forced engagements via dailies and battle passes
NOOO, YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, I NEED TO GET MY 5 BLIMBO CREDITS! IF I MISS IT I'LL LITERALLY DIE!
You can literally just not play.
Consoles usually shape things like this so all you have to do is look for the console with the highest MTX revenue.
dont like gacha
dont play gacha
why is that so hard? not everything has to be for you
when regular games started to ignore what people want
when lewd things became taboo, the market for it didn't just vanish with the games
other people capitalized on it, and gacha is now thriving in the west
Why does AI make you trannies seethe so much?
Nigger heil hitler.
Name one thing inherently wrong with gacha, other than you being a broke bitch third worlder who is too poor to buy premium currency.
have sex
You'd be scared if I did, kike. More white babies.
just don't play it bro
your favorite game company now makes gacha games exclusively and never makes a sequel of their best game because its the only way to earn stable income using game development nowadays. Now what?
stuff cartoon woman into game
?????
profit
it's literally that easy, motherfuckers on this website have been worshipping Japslop for 20 maybe 30+ years dude
but at least like 8 years ago this website would mock mobile game players during the whole "50% of gamers are women" bullshit, and the mere idea of a lootbox would be shit on mercilessly
AI bros calling others trannies
arent 50% of AI art cp?
your "favorite game company" chose to make money instead of games you like. thats a problem between you and the company, not the genre that is making them money
Now what?
tear down global capitalist hegemony, destroy market driven economic, reorganize society around work organized labor value. then your "favorite game company" doesn't have to cash around bottom lines on their quarterly reports. but I have a sneaking suspicion you're not ready to take the anti-capitalism pill
don't call out the clear and obvious predators
just reimagine and rework the entire system and maybe in the next two lifetimes your great grandchildren will have good vidya
brutal, not sure if i can swallow that pill
patient zero
we're so far past horse armor now...
So even though most of our standards are high
come on now
i am not just talking about one company.
companies exist to make money. thats fundamental to our economic organization. if gacha makes more money than loli vns or whatever you're begging for, then they're gonna make gachas. your two options are: accept the system as it is or change the system. asking a company to make less money is retarded because they have fiduciary obligations to pursue profit
neither am I
MapleStory had gacha shit as early as 2006
Other Korean and Japanese games may have done it earlier
dumb tendie still clinging to this bullshit
alot of it is money laundering but i noticed the more the younger generations come of age
zoomers are like all retarded lol
ipad kids grew up
Not fooling anyone there Rajesh.
This. It took some boiling of the frog to make it really accepted but this was where devs realized they could get retards to pay extra for something with no good reason not to be in the base game, then everything after came from them increasingly realizing how stupid and spineless the general audience is.
Gacha games are better than modern AAA games.
I have literally never seen gameplay of a gacha game. All I know about it is it's basically a waifu lootbox or something. What's the gameplay loop?
Gacha cuck
implying NEETs ever once think about reaponsibility
Log in
Do whatever chores the game wants you to do
Log off and wait for tomorrow to do it again
At best you'll get a meme webm of someone intentionally gimping their damage in an attempt to make the game seem deep.
Oh piss off, retard. Don't pretend you faggots aren't drooling at the mouth over the next lazy remaster of your childhood favorite.
?
Remasters are mostly for retarded zoomers who didn't even play the original
cowshit is better than dogshit
I mean if you wanna split hairs... but they're boths hit
So it's basically Runescape except you only do the dailys and then nothing else?
reaponsibility
rapeonsibility?
>low effort mass produced AI slop replacing actual artists
Name 5 games
I played Epic Seven (many others are similar)
It plays like an RPG with gacha pulls (characters), but the late game is mostly equipment farming (after you finish campaign, if ever). If you play regularly you can get enough premium currency for seasonal event pulls without paying.
>forced engagements via dailies and battle passes
That shit exists since PS3 which is a retro console now
nta, are you gonna pick up etheria next month?
I said I played, no longer the case. Too much grind to keep up with the PVP, and PVP gets more annoying every update and new character with passive longer than a novel, breathing towards the other team can make your team die to counters.
Do people really play more than 1 gacha at a time?
Doesn't doing dailies for a bunch of shit just turn into a chore?
gacha players mainly advertise their game by how quickly they can get their chores done
you should play X, you can do all your dailies in just 15 minutes
in gacha gaming, its a virtue to play your games as little as possible
Everything being shit is okay because shit makes money
Do capitalist commies really?
capitalist commies
I've tried a few for research purposes. They're extremely basic. Like
Uh-oh! Big attack coming! Press the defense skill!
Yay! You cracked the boss! Use your big burst skill!
shit.
This formula never changes, but the further you go in the more it's ugly face unravels. Here comes the big attack! But this time it's Dark Dragon Omega of Infinite Hatred Deluxe doing it instead of squirrel! Kevin's Shield wasn't enough to mitigate it! Oh, that's too bad. If only you had Waku Waku Rainbow Neko Sakura-hime Halloween Version. Her Kira Kira Oppai Light Wall Rising would have TANKED that. Now you cooould use this specific set up of B- losers to beat Dark Dragon Omega of Infinite Hatred Deluxe in, like, an hour...but wouldn't be so ~awesome~ and ~easy~ if Waku Waku Rainbow Neko Sakura-hime Halloween Version and her entourage of rainbow bipedal tits and neon bishies did that for you in thirty seconds? You get the idea.
he doesn't know
Horse armor. Is that in the remake too?
it is you who is the one who does not know
Gamers never had high standards and the concept of free stuff makes them go crazy and pretend it's good even when it's objectively shit
Yeah lmao I'm never purchasing a "remaster" of a game I like unless the game is literally non-functional on my hardware.
Gamers never accepted them. Normalfags love that shit though.
See, they are free games which offer content, whether that be watching girls in dorms, exploring a zelda-like world, reading an adventure novel with your input changing things, or just some fun kind of combat. These games are usually something that 10 years ago people would have paid 30-40 bucks for, but now it's free.
Genshin/Gonna/ZZZ is the best game ever made. Play it. You don't have to spend money, but spend it anyway so we have investor-oriented charts we can show you. If that fails, we have canned gameplay webms that prove it's a real game by showcasing effects which require very few inputs. Very pro gamer skill. We can't record our own because we don't actually play it.
The day consolefags accepted paying to log online
We don't go after people who sell AI art, we just want to beat up people who want to goon for free. If people buy AI art, that money actually goes to artists somehow. Give me time while I figure out how.
Not Gonna, Honkai. Holy shit. A Xiaomi, Chinese phone, doesn't have Honkai in its autocorrect.
Imagine playing even a single gacha lmao
I agree with most of the rest except
AI slop
Not seeing it much in actual games, and frankly people crying about it tend to be "artists" who make low quality bullshit that is being threatened, so they're having a hissy fit. The real issue with AI is it being controlled by a handful of megacorps with proprietary models and training data, for top tier models. Open source models and data that is self-host capable is what we should be fighting for, but the anti-AI trannies are going to ensure that only intellectual property lawyers, content cartels, and AI megacorps are going to get the benefit, if they keep screeching about the wrong thing.
As far as the rest
Gacha, item mall bullshit including multi-level FOMO "collection events" , "F2P" mobile monetization strategies, and other psychological tricks
Pretending cosmetic content is not content
Are some of the worst behaviors. Buy to play, subscriptions etc.. are fine ways to monetize, but these other things overtake them because it only takes a handful of idiots for it to be profitable; its basically unable to "vote with your wallet" away from it. I used to work for a MMO in the old days; we looked over to Korea and thought
If we tried to charge $10 for an outfit, we'd have no audience at all; our players would never put up with paying an entire month's subscription fee for a single cosmetic, nor should they!
How times have fucking changed.
All the DLC is included in the remaster, the way God intended before man perverted creation to sell cosmetics for an additional fee.
I refuse to believe anybody actually plays ALL GACHAS.
They are all full of tedious daily quest bullshit and all play the same. Why would you do this for yourself?
*to yourself
Don't pretend you faggots aren't drooling at the mouth over the next lazy remaster of your childhood favorite.
I've never bought a remaster in my life.
I am an avid gacha player but I have never spent a single cent (not even on battle passes or 1 dollar packs) on them. I just like pulling for characters.
farm premium currency doing menial repetitive tasks
recieve a pittance
save up to do one (1) roll
recieve shit nobody wants
eventually cave and go full whale
It's designed to be as shitty as possible in order to make money.
