Is gacha reactionary?
>>35877 (me)
Wait no actually I tried reverse 1999 but got bored of it after a while. Too abstract, enjoyed what I did play of it, gorgeous artistically, but the gameplay is too simple.
>>35901>"this would be cool if it weren't a gacha"So literally every "good" gacha
Genuinely people should just ask themselves, has any game ever been *improved* by being a gacha? And then they'll realize how shitty the state of things is
>>35880From my admittedly limited exposure to gacha, the approach seems to be to just hire a bunch of designers from pixiv and see what comes out. A lot of these game assets don't even get a final art pass (e.g. Blue Archive, OP pic), so there is only as much stylistic coherence as the designers got directions. (Especially notable in games where there was no art director.)
Due to this, quality varies widely. In the same game you can have a fantastic design like Neru against a sea of mediocrity. To me that's the most profound issue with most gacha: no strong and central, artistic voice. Anything good in these games comes from individual contributors. (see also

Azur Lane seems to escape this? I haven't played it, so can anyone confirm/deny?
>>35891>Don't be anti-intellectualyoure the idiot throwing around leftoid buzzwords to make basic bitch moralist posts about the "evilness" of some random game lol
i mean
>proto-neoliblmao what does this even fucking mean dude
if you want to do art critique go ahead, just dont conflate it with communism. choose one or the other
>>35988all products under capitalism are made by exploiting workers…
all this talk about gambling reminds me of notions about how credit is parasitic on "the REAL economy" which comes from a very ooc reading of capital. marx never made moral claims about credit, even explains it as integral to the development of bourgeois production lol, and as usual the misreadings only get used for reformist peddling
>>35888you go from a sensible statement
>The natural progression for videogamesto some libshit moralist understanding of the world
>In a sane world this crap would be actively boycotted and unrewarded>we exist in a consumeristic societyxD
tbh i wish i could make myself feel good for thinking im consuming the right media unlike the rest of consumerists/npcs/normies/protoneolibs/etc
>>35991>marx never made moral claims about creditYou don't need to point to a book to realize that it's immoral for companies to get rich off of people's compulsions.
>but it's not communismSome of us are well-rounded human beings who can make judgments outside of the framework of a specific political philosophy, crazy I know.
>>35993I think the point of materialism is that morality is very easy to replace in it's totality with logistical concerns. It's midnight so I won't elaborate, but seems like gambling as a business model and the ethical violations
with even ethics really just being logistics under the hood too that have to occur for people to see gambling as desirable; withholding information and the profit incentive to sabotage education, copyright, closed source codes, the manufacturing of a self-esteem crisis, perhaps advertising (I've seen a lot of Genshin ads), etc… is, among many things, unsustainable and actively diverting money away from more sustainable forms of art.
Like if you argue by morality, you're insisting upon your concerns being vibes, when there may be concrete criticisms you can make that people may become irrationally averse to considering if they've heard moral arguments they disagree with to the same effect too much.
>>35993>immoralSpooked.
>well-rounded human beingsThe only reason they're not "well-rounded" is because their critique of morality isn't sophisticated enough, a Marxist humanist is just as well-rounded as a Marxist nihilist.
>>35995>Like if you argue by morality, you're insisting upon your concerns being vibesMorality is no more vibes-based than any human intuition, read more philosophy outside of the two or three leftypol-approved authors.
>>35996>Spooked.Dude you can't say me raping your mom to death is wrong dude. That doesn't fit within hecking materialism dude. You actually can't complain about people suffering from exclusively capitalist phenomena dude, that's not historically progressive dude.
>>36392I also wonder this. I dabbled a bit with Blue Archive, but to me it seems the aesthetic experience can be reproduced by going through the blue archive tag on your favourite booru.
>>36398Why not play a shoujo collecting game that is less predatory, like say idolm@ster?
>>36450jesus christ you retards goon to this shit?
develop some taste, hooooly fuck
>>36460I retract my statement and apologize. Granted, it's mostly the design that does (not) do it for me.
>instead of this awful attempt at squash and stretchActually machine animation, just very poorly done. Aren't the Nikke people supposed to be good at that?
>>36630 (me)
Figured out the crashing problem, the power saving modes graphics settings preset aren't as stable as the higher presets. Not sure which setting specifcally tho.
