I genuinely think Genshin has one of the best casual exploration gameplay out there but I stopped playing because I hate grinding for character mats. Gacha is a scam and will never get my money. Honestly I am sick of live service gachaslop now so I probably won't play them again. Also Chinese can't write and Hoyoverse is the king of awkward infodump. Last time I play Genshin I can't stop spamclicking to get through their dumbass chatgpt-esque wall of text because they don't want to add a skip feature for some reasons. I don't care about the country of origin. More competition is good. The Japanese need to stop being complacent with their old successful IPs they're not doing anything with. The recent fate collab on star rail blow away any 3d fate games in term of animation and models. Compare it with Samurai Remnant for example.

The Chinese are subhuman bug people. I would never play an "anime-themed" Ch*nese game

I never paid a cent for Genshin and just explore around for fun. Idgaf about mora or primogems or newest weapons.

It's astounding we can play such a BotW clone on a mobile phone. Plus I like the soundtrack, it's really beautifully composed.

Would be good if it wasn't for the gacha aspect. Imagine if GFL2 was more like jagged alliance 2/3. While keeping the waifu interaction and dormitory system.
ZZZ let's you roam around in a vibrant game world with fine looking npcs going about their day. imagine if Senran Kagura had this with expanded interactions.
Cannot imagine the japs making games like this. Seems to have their heads far up their asses. Rehashing their old stuff. If they made an anime GTA, they would be set, but that will never happen.

they flood the market with #nevergoon trash

would be epic and…


…and scary.

Imagine a world where over 9000 dudes (and some wizards too!) learn how to manage THIS kind of stuff randomly

>anime GTA

im mixed. the gameplay and characters, i like a lot. zenless is genuinely super fun, but the gacha aspect really kills it for me. the characters do vary from generic waifubait to genuinely likeable, but overall its pretty fun.

zenless is the only mihoyo game ive played, though - i have no real interest in the others, especially given the fact that you need to dedicate lots of time or money to get the most out of them.

the anime design is a bait to gather the weeaboos. I won't fall for their trap

They're Chinese games. Like everything made by the Chinese, they're bad games.

They're on of the few parts of the modern industry that still objectifies succubi and sells because of it, which I find BASED.

>>63100
as someone who plays mutliple gacha games daily they are everything wrong with modernity, it's super short attention span with new characters getting released weekly to keep you interested, everything is live service slop to milk as much money out of you as possible and there is something truely sinister people finding community on what is essentially a glorified gambling app, I see so much community art and engaged and people feeling like they belong somewhere on a corporate chinese waifu slop people are finding communities on zenless instead of church and this is exactly why I hate modernity and how gacha is a manfiestation of that

We're wizards. We would only be tolerated without full acceptance in a church or other physical third spaces for normalfags. The digitalization of communities may be alienating for most of humanity but it is an improvement for outcast nerds who don't belong. Not that even we can be easily accepted in online communities but it is better than having to talk to random normalfags from your town. If you don't like a chinese gambling game community there are many other communities online that is a product of modernity.

>inb4 some anti-/dep/ wizard with friends who is active in his community and is only a wizard because he happens to be virgin for some reason mock people for being an outcast
>inb4 the tryhard truwiz schizo mock seeking communities instead of self-isolation in an empty room
>inb4 the oldfags mock people for enjoying zoomer communities instead of their based valve source games or 2000s anime or whatever that they consumed when they were college students 15 years ago communities

>Haze/Reverb
>calls itself giantess and mecha musume game
>no size interactions
>"giantesses" shrink down to normal size all the time
>somehow gets a special event with Slave of the Hell Soldiers
>the fucking guest giantess character spends it all at normal size even though she's playful giantess in the goddamned source manga
Utterly irredeemable sizebaiting trash.
Let me know if there are any games that understand the assignment.

They can't optimize games for shit. My $1000 gpu can't handle them at max settings.

That standard was already set by major western devs like ubisoft and bethesta. Your game can be a unoptimized buggy mess, but as long as it appeal to the masses they will buy it anyway.

WITH, maybe?

I'd play them if they didn't have such bland storylines, I tried playing Genshin and ZZZ for a few minutes but I got annoyed by the slow pacing and snoozer storytelling, the only thing I want to do is to look at the beautiful succubi and nothing else since it's the only thing these games excel at. I just look at fanarts people make of the games online since it's all about aesthetics anyway, it's still a pity that some of the best artists and animators out there are getting hired by the gacha companies since that's where the good money is at, imagine all that talent being used in quality games the likes of Nier Automata.

Shitty gameplay most of the time, way too many cutscenes, basically pay2win. There's no reason to play most of them.

China's been cooking some great souls-like games, and the difficulty filters out casual tourists and (trans)woemen, so bullcrap like feminism can barely penetrate
