most of the top gacha games are mostly from China.

If China kills "gacha" games, I will become an unironic China stan

I mean... I tend to really play into our "everyone here is a bear" bit, and specifically think of myself as a panda bear, so I kinda am already a bit of a stereotypical China stan, but I agree with you.

I don't mean that kind of bear... although I guess those bears are also hug shaped. Just not the kind of "cuddly and made of fluffy" I was necessarily thinking of.

I mean this kind of panda bear, lol:

That's a comrade and favourite cuddle buddy of mine, but I do have a panda bear costume and I do look like a giant version of Comrade Cuddles there when I'm wearing it.

Gacha癌症摔倒了,数十亿人得摸草

Is this over genshin impact? I don't understand why people like that game so much, I played it a bit and was just staggeringly disappointed that they took what could have been a fun rpg game base and turned it into a waifu collection sim

I was really disappointed because I like games that let you climb all the terrain :( but I have no patience for waifuism

I tried it back when it launched and it was genuinely a very well made game in terms of actual gameplay, but then literally all the progression was just 100% pure RNG bullshit and gacha pulls, which fucking suck completely on every level. I genuinely don't understand how slot machines like that are addictive, because you do nothing and then you lose and that's it that's the whole mechanic you're just non-interactively losing over and over every time you look at it. Gacha mechanics ruin games and should not exist.

The first 80 to 100 hours or so are high quality BOTW-style open world exploration and a somewhat fun combat system

But yeah it's just a generic gacha after that.

[–] nfreak@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

This is the impression I got early on too. I remember at launch a lot of people were hyped up for it and the first hour or two looked pretty fun and promising, then nope welcome to gacha hell

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

Most of the big gacha games to come out in the last five years or so except Uma Musume are Chinese, and most of those are copying Genshin to varying degrees.

Be thankful their revenge comes in the form of Gacha Gaming Addiction. This is Psychic Warfare we're talking about, next level stuff. doggirl-smart

Oh no, Japan could lose access to 80-90% of the generic waifu collector games did-someone
