Consensus on Higan Eruthyll relaunch? I Heard on official discord that they going to snowbreak route on their next iteration (after they shutdown the first). And the femoid already complained it on discord and reddit.
>>1955118 playable FEMC and my favorite character was a prostitute/raped in her backstory, not in the slutty way but in the sad and depressive fucked up way only a female writer can write, seriously fucking devs i hope they burn in hell
>>1954731 >hentai gacha Yeah no. Look at Magicami and this is basically H gacha in nutshell. Beside H gacha relies cheap sexual fanservice (same shit as Brown Dust 2 they doing).
>>1955118 Is that game still alive and getting updates? I remember playing it like 2 years ago (I think) when it first came out. Even had a thread here on /vmg/ for a bit. Honestly some of the most sexo illustrations I've ever seen in a game aside from maybe Azur Lane, but the gameplay itself was just total ass. Figured it would have went EoS by now.
Hmm i really think that Snowbreak+ Last Origin harem type is pretty rare in harem gacha, let alone in gacha game, making gacha that make everyone love (you) + unabashed romance + appealing sexual fanservice making character as (you) wife + not being greedy (see LADS fiasco) is impossible without sacrifice some wanted demographic (femoid+shipfag will oppose that). I guess praying that there will another snowbreak is praying for eternal youth.
>>1956082 No one wants a gacha with NTR. Especially when they used the controversy of another to be better, only to do the same act they accused the other.
>>1956177 >hating Snowbreak because muh males and NTR reeeeee >probably also hate any haremge on this thread for bullshit reason Go back and Play Chub.ai if you can't handle story schizochud.
>>1955827 Yeah gacha with proactive MCs are few and far between. Even for gacha that are targeted at men they mostly choose to have a betacuck gentleman MC with zero agency, basically telling you to abandon your dignity and live to serve your women and not the way around which attracts those ilks.
>>1956549 I cannot stress enough how femdomtrash is killing entertainments directed toward men, it's a slippery slope promoted by kikes and feminists. first you tolerate men being submissive a.k.a gentlemen, the next day you're left with dry pussies and other safehorny shits.
>>1956874 >blud forgot the nips create femdom culture and pro feminist shit before gook did (Sailor Moon, Urusei Yatsura, Magical girl and etc.) Kill all the nips.
>>1955592 Should be on S rank. I love the way the game does the collab, since we don't cuck Takeru, and Takeru is (us) anyways. Much better than shit like FGO, in which for example Tamamo is flirtatious, but she doesn't put out, but then they release a summer version who IS for the FGO MC, but then they release a book that says she isn't, but then they release the other extra characters like BB who are for the FGO MC, but then they release ANOTHER book that says she isn't for the FGO MC, but then they release the MC of extra, and they lend the FGO MC the characters or some shit?
>>1955095 >robot >cool companion >doesn't get even a hint of a whiff of a romantic interaction with any of the other robot females What's the issue here?
>>1955243 Nigger I want harem and fanservice, but not a hag with her areola out shoving a stick up her ass, or a whore getting a tentacle up her pussy while the MC looks from the chair. Stuff like azur lane is good (a fatal lack of lolis made me quit the game, alongside other gameplay issues), but cheap porn stuff like BD2 isn't it.
>>1956898 That was LITERALLY during the 80s/90s, why the fuck they are copying shit from 30 years ago. Even the nips are fucking do with that, and instead they prefer overpowered isekai protagonists, is the whole reason shit like solo leveling is popular.
>>1957290 Oh yeah im playing it ant its very good and like you said they handle collab perfectly and in not retarded way and its kinda understandable for people to want og muv luv girls, meiya and sakaki also miki are top tier waifus, sumika is fine in extra only.
>>1957826 fujos are drawn to the fetish because they really liked the idea of breaking the gender boundaries to begin with. shoujo is all about breaking social norms.
>>1957819 Does the reason matter? The point is that you have to PAY to get a skin in which the character has fantasies about her fucking someone who isn't the player. Its a paid skin. Trickcal clearly doesn't belong in the harem game category.
>>1957916 it's crazy how there's so many anime directors chomping at the bit to get their yurifag fantasies put onto a screen. the problem with gacha adaptations is that they aren't adaptations. the directors get to write whatever they want. even with BA they still insisted on writing whatever they wanted.
>>1958016 Mentally ill yurifags see what normal people don't. I do wish they stop doing the reverse rugpull of what omnigames usually do though because it invites retards like >1957292
>>1958026 I consider trickcal innocent until proven guilty, but I would still much rather have evidence otherwise. if the story bothers to dwell on the art she makes, that is.
>>1958029 It's gonna be two years until it comes to global, since the KR side doesn't make a fuss about it i wouldn't worry much, but expect shitposters from drama general within that timeframe.
>>1958136 Nikke created bland female characters for common, rare, and super rare. LO could've done that instead of making different factions and giving each low-tier characters. Also that character is an SS rank.
>>1958136 You are replying to a shitposter don't even bother, the SS AGS (robots) units can only be obtained through a crafting mechanism and you cant obtain them in the regular gacha and that fucking crafting mechanism takes A LOT of fucking resources and A FUCKING LOT or IRL time like 1 month because some research can take like 7 days IRL and is completely optional, in the end you can beat all the content of the game without crafting a single SS/S AGS or if you are a robot fucker like me and wanted to craft pic related (for context Aeda was a normal robot but she fall in love with (you) so she ask for a new body so she can be fucked by (you).. i mean help you to rebuild the civilization) >>1958171 and Nikke is cuckege while LO is a true harem game
>>1958348 The point is the game keep adding robots into the game instead of just creating another female android. Should've followed the same path as Brown Dust 2 and Horizon Walker. >in the end you can beat all the content of the game without crafting a single SS/S AGS I'm calling bullshit since one of stages is difficult to clear and you more than likely need one of the stronger SS AGS unit to beat it. Doesn't help when most stages expects you to use specific units to get a full clear and earn tuna.
>>1958416 >How bad was the anime? Imagine a cgdct except there's always a guy standing in the background doing next to nothing, it satisfies neither watchfags or self-inserters.
>>1958416 Basically changed many things like giving sensei parts to shiroko. And having him stand around doing jack shit. Also changing alot of vol 1 like making sensei not choose who to sit next to.
>real harem games the characters have emotions and make it explicitly clear they are into (You). real waifus. >fake harem games an emotional non-committal design. all the interactions between the MC and these characters end up feeling shallow because it wants to keep a perpetual state of ambiguity for players to project their own headcannon onto. fake waifus.
>>1958645 You're lucky. There was only one episode I liked i think it was the iori feet licking one. But I also watched the whole series with /bag/ so It was a bit better.
Anyone knows what's the deal with Aether Gazer? I've been seeing it a lot and it seems to have went the full (you) pandering route. What's the actual status of the game based on the criteria of this thread?
>>1963650 Smilegate forced them to do shit like releasing two limiteds back to back out of nowhere and ramping up powercreep. Looking at the state of czn they still haven't stopped.
>>1954406 Why the fuck azur lane is in the list? the game has another commander that fucked like 34 characters in the main story i think his name was mikhail or something like that >>1963840 Call me the purple guy because i am about to put a child inside of that sexy robot, man i really hope Miresi is the thing i am hoping it is
>>1964244 Anon all the METAs from Northern Parliament were dicked by Mikhail and some them are playable, there literal one banner right now with Gangut META
>>1964262 (me) Well every girl from NP was dicked by Mikhail in the alpha timeline and the three METAs that we have now are Mikhail sloppy seconds, really disgusting for a ML game
heavenhells is releasing globally this thursday and there’s no social media accounts for it. their korean twitter stopped posting back in december a couple months before the korean release. seems pretty grim.
Are there any nice autobattle teambuilder gachas that have nice girls and are preferably generous?
I basically just want to build a team of waifus, autobattle them, and actually be able to roll while being f2p. And ideally low commitment. I don't want an hour worth of dailies every day.
>>1967244 That would mean loosing all of CN revenue, since you can't publish a game there if you don't physically have servers in the country. Guess thats better than having to kill the game (since all the playerbase would stop spending if they took out the lewd), and the chinese could play through a VPN or something.
heavenhells kr version rewards summon currencies for clearing stages while global version rewards credits and exp books. easiest uninstall of my life. can’t believe these fucking idiots thought we wouldn’t find out.
>>1969116 It's self-published, and it's not like the first time this dev's done shady shit like this before. There's a reason why they're so reviled in KR outside of "fake subculture fan" accusations.
Comments here said the game runs on the same client as KR. It's just that these dipshit devs decided to change the rewards for EVERYONE including KR sometime in late February. Told you guys Clover's scummy as hell.
>>1969513 the company is definitely shutting down soon after letting go most of their employees. they’re just trying to make whatever money they can before bailing.
>>1970822 Bad. Game has fundamental problems (mainly doing a frankenstein monster out of the mechanics of 3 different games) that can't be fixed without sending the game back to the oven for 1 more year, which the devs aren't willing to do (trickcal devs did this buy the CEO had to mortgage his house twice to get the money). Devs have put out some patches but it has mainly been band-aid tier. Game also is mainly pvp focused to the point character kits are built around it and then it gets a light pass to make it pve (which is completely unbalanced). Also its getting a counterside collaboration, a game in which every female is shipped and the MC is a cameraman, great game to get units from.
All these shitposters make me certain they did the right thing to ditch their omnislop consumers. >>1970822 Been seeing a lot of desperate moves lately, it's only a matter of time until they go full coomer.
>>1971501 >The ideal paradise of "No Men Allowed," a fateful encounter that begins in the realm of Ideas ··· if they don't fuck up with the premise and the mc is male then the game definitely has potential also hoping for no yuri or some shit like that
>>1972806 Looks like it. We don't know if the paid costumes are going to be half as lewd as last origin, but it doesn't look like it. Also the game play is about the same, a shitty chibi autobattler (in 2026 kek)
>>1973191 I've started to appreciate 2D games more after trying dozens or so resource-heavy 3D gacha that still have the gameplay loop of your average powerpoint sim. Like i'm pretty sure this one won't eat 20GB+ of storage.
>>1973196 Not to mention most 3d gachas don't even try to match the lewdest 2d gachas in terms of coom. Fucking console industry all over again, just when the graphics start to get good the whole gacha industry turns lame and gay and we degens have to settle for the scraps
>>1977509 Yes, I played it. It's clearly in an unfinished state and there were many bugs; it's also a very typical chibi battler. It doesn't stand out all that much, specially when Trickcal and Priconne are there as reference points. It's Blue Archive meets Last Origin, essentially. Still, it's promising. Miresi feels like vaporware in comparison. >Positives + Character variety + Nippledentations everywhere + Something for everyone + Very horny + Platonic relationships do not exist here + JP voices >Neutral ~ Story (it's just a generic city where everyone lives in harmony and you're the problem solver male MC, but the individual character stories / dates are cute) ~ Style cohesion (most of the characters look a bit off in their chibi mode, but they got a lot of cute animations, especially their skill animations. Vaguely reminds me of 13 Sentinels) >Negatives - No release date - Skill animations are a bit overly long - Bugs are very plentiful, some characters have utterly fucked aspect ratios - Live2D / idle animations not present for some non-chibi portraits - Game definitely has AI somewhere in the pipeline (some chibis just look TOO detailed like with the hair), but it's honestly hard to tell Best girls: Ines (succubus nun), Casa (Egyptian catgirl tsundere), Layla (slampig donut baker/cop). Didn't see too much of the other girls. All the girls in general stand out, even a lot of the 1 and 2-stars too, plus they have their own skill animations.
CBT also ended early because the devs made the age rating 15+ so they'd have more feedback compared to if they went with 19+, but they will release at 19+. Here are some more details. >Special interactions, ASMR, special story events are locked to 3-stars >There are already 3-star alternates in development for some of the 1/2 stars The game was generally very well received sans the bugs, most of the negative feedback centered around low-star designs being "wasted" since they won't get 3-star content.
>>1977788 What a retarded outfit, how can this shit even arouse anyone when it's so retarded? She has great tits but when I see shit like this it just turns me off, these "artists" just can't draw for shit.
I know this may not be the specific place to post this, but I'm unsure of where I can ask that might get a response or at least the confirmation that what I want doesn't exist; Are there are any HMGs that have a small cast of heroines that each new gacha is either them in a new outfit or otherwise progressed instead of perpetually bloating the roster? Think Nu:Carnival but not homosexual I've tried a few erolabs titles like Tenkafuma or Ark Re:Code but the former bloated its roster and the few girls I liked either never got content or the fetishes were bad, ditto with the latter. Just lots of rape and mind break, at which point I may as well save the time and effort and just to pixiv and imagine a not cucked scenario where you need to rely on rape and mind control
>>1979270 >collab characters Collab characters in hentai gachas always fuck the MC of their original gacha/game, unless it's a collab between two cuckshit works, then it's faceless men or orcs or tentacles, depending of the gacha
Any good games on Ero Labs? I don't care if the women in my harem fuck around with each other so long as MC doesn't pull gay Nikke shit where he fucks off or acts timid about it
>>1982972 gimme some of that shit you smoking brother. counterside will probably eos soon if you read the announcement and ss is making really little for a hsr clone.
>>1983304 >ss is making really little for a hsr clone. What a weird thing to say. This company cannot afford the same level of marketing as Mihoyo so obviously is not gonna be at that level. By your logic everything below that level is a failure.
>>1984711 Don't forget that HSR has the advantage of riding off Genshin's coattails, borrowing from their normalfag audience. If HSR came right after HI3 instead of Genshit the gacha community would probably be shitting on it more so than glazing it
>>1984836 a bit of romance and a TON of yuribait. that unit you like the looks of? only a bit of platonic romance. that other one that looks hot? yuri bait. come one man, its from the counterside devs, what were you expecting?
>>1957295 With HW I learned I like teasing more than softcore stuff, or at least not in the way they implemented it in that game. My main problem with HW is that the costumes are shit and try way too hard to be full coomer or trashy.
>>1984836 Yes, character journeys are (You) getting along with the girls, date and stuff but it's more of a romcom than a romance drama. It's worth a try but i'd refrain from spending.
>>1985680 The only "yuri bait" that the drama thread regurgitares is Besta's unhinged perversion but she's just a pervert in general and is the classic perv joke character in old harem stories.
>Exactly 2 lolipoors triggered because you called them out Why won't you spend on harem game and encourage other to do the same? This is why you should kick out pedofags from your community because they're parasite(F2P) and will seethe just because they saw a big boobs character. They're really similar with tranny when I think about it.
>>1991994 Really fucking bad. The models are low quality, the pandering is mid and it doesn't even has dorm interactions like gfl2, snowbreak or AL. The gameplay is really tedious and boring. You need to get 3 copies of a character to put them in your lobby. The game is heavily focused on PvP. There is very little fanservice.
>>1991994 What >>1992156 said, also optimal progress requires you spending 50-100 turns of manual play chipping away enemies with deflated stats since it copies Nikke, 36 times per chapter. Max difficulty journeys are also a repetitive time sink.
>>1992175 this is my take as well. however launch gibs kinda sunk cost-ed me and I will most likely continue playing this until kaleido or miresi releases
>>1992174 I won't deny what the anon said, but the story is great. It's the best ML story in the gacha category. I recommend you to play the game just for that. Of course you can play it when there's more main story chapter or when they release second journey stories. It's just sadly the main story is behind operation stage that's not easy to complete and need a long-long time to upgrade your characters (if you don't have top tier character).
I'm coming back to gacha after months. What games are hot right now? >tfw left nikke because the events were turning into generic slop only to now miss the one pure romance one.
>>1992220 >>miss the one pure romance one. It's kinda eh if you're not into the characters and i doubt they will ever add pilgrims even if everyone demands it in the survey. Here's hoping for alice at least.
>>1992592 Where did I ask for sex? I only asked about physical intimacy that displays more than just a platonic relationship. You can’t claim to have the best ML story then get butthurt when asked about specifics.
So it's trash that beats around the bush and goes absolutely nowhere, the target audience being for young adult virgins with no money or physical experience with women. Got it, carry on.
>>1993312 It's a restoraunt management game it seems The story is you're the MC of the VNs and visit several schools full of Nekogirls along with your family
In the first place Mongil is like Korean ZZZ except the two main characters are both playable and you don't choose to be one or the other. And then the CBT implies the boy is a star crossed lover with the fox girl. I'm not sure how you thought it was a harem game.
>>1994214 And there's also the fact that the original KR-only game also had playable dudes in it. That game lasted a decade before ending service a few years ago btw.
>>1994214 >the two main characters are both playable and you don't choose to be one or the other None of them are the main characters retarded tranny, the proof? you can level up the affection of Cloud and Verna and give them gifts, the MC is the stupid cat >the CBT implies the boy is a star crossed lover with the fox girl You mean Mina? the same girl that has shipbait with her creepy twink stepfather Sangun? that girl? >I'm not sure how you thought it was a harem game. Maybe because they hide the male character for two years in every trailer? and they weren't in the first CBT?
>>1994402 Where the fuck does it even show that the chonky cat is the MC and not the obligatory marketable plushie? How would it even "raise" the duo's affection levels if it can barely talk, let alone take on a humanoid form? Are you idiots really THAT buckbroken?
>>1994546 The cat isn't the MAIN CHARACTER, its the PLAYER CHARACTER. The dual protagonists are their own separate characters, and the framing of the story is that you see the world through the cat character. The key word here is FRAMING. You know how in lord of the rings they keep talking about bilbo and frodo writing a book? Thats the framing of the story, you get to hear about the adventures because sometime in the future you get the book and read it. In this game you only follow the story from afar, you don't get to interact with the characters or help them or grow close to them as the player.
Idk how so many of these games keep fumbling with the most retarded drama at the last minute. I mean, how do these people not even understand the audience they're going on for?
>>1995885 Yeah, MAN, not men. They hate they very human race they are a part of. Its the only explanation, they hate themselves and want to share their experience with everyone
>>1992237 Wasn't it the only actual ML offering we had in a long while? I think most of the stuff has just been lore dumps with the MC not mattering outside of being a passive observer.
It feels very much like Dev's clearly throwing a bone after treating the audience they had in day 1 as secondary for long time. Still, until Snowbreak comes up this is I have got.
>>1996073 Also, the fact that everything that remotely (you) pandering exists in a sort of a vacuum outside of the main storyline, like the characters having completely different personalities in the bond events and message vs everything else.
After just a week of it, I am once again reminded why I dropped this game in the first place. I'll stick around for the half yearly anniversary, but I doubt I'll be invested enough to keep playing this bait.
>>1996174 LO's new publisher and developer, seems like the remnants of their former devs(SmartJoy) have been merged into that company while the other bad actors are now in gentlemaniac which made horizon walker.
>>1997380 The yuri in gakumas is only at the level of deep friendship, rivalry or admiration just as the main imas games always had. The most yuri you can find there is just bait at best. In the end, the girls all suck producer's (canon male) cock in their routes.
>>2007623 cool, i pre-reged, anyone know if this is going to start fresh, or be like horizon walker, where we share the same server with KR, and the game and events already started?
>>2009335 Ohhhh I remember this Kusoge, the first game was a ML game and died because the devs decided to ship non playable male NPCs with playable female characters and then decide to say "everyone was welcome to play their game" when the players where fighting against some feminist and shippers that tried to to take control of the official forum and for I what I see this sequel is going to have playable males since that guy isnt the MC from the first game
>>2009383 The guy isn't ST1 MC because it's not set in Litoris, basically a shared universe thing. We don't even know if this is before or after the Graveland incident, seeing as the world has seemingly jumped in technological progress based on what the reveal trailer showed.
>>2009442 The Bili post introducing him makes it sound like he'll be the MC.
>>2009448 >showing spats in their first ever promotional artwork kinda off-putting. lol nice catch, now i am 100% sure that game is going to be a mixed toilet
>Developer's Message: Hello everyone, we are the production team of "Soul Tide: Eclipse".
As the latest installment in the "Soul Tide" series, we are thrilled to meet you all once again on Continent Crescent. If the stage of our previous story was an old world interwoven with magic and machinery, then this new chapter will lead everyone to a post-apocalyptic fortress city that perfectly fuses magic with moonstone energy.
Following the "Fall of the Lunar Eye" event, the century-long "Moonstone War" involving various factions, and the continuous corruption of Continent Crescent by the "Boundary"—humanity was ultimately forced to retreat into fortress cities protected by massive magical barriers. The past ruling system of Litoris has collapsed, the old Templar Order of Luna (Note: the group the Soul Tide 1 MC was a part of) has declined, and the Garden Company—which utilized moonstones to develop the barriers and various new innovations—has rapidly risen to power.
Just then, you—a detective from the World Defense Bureau—finally arrive in Litoris. In your quest to uncover the secrets of the "Fall of the Lunar Eye," your destiny has unknowingly become deeply intertwined with the secrets of Continent Crescent! Although the Doll-summoning techniques of the old era have been lost, the creation of new summoning contracts have never ceased. Taking the baton from the legendary Evoker, you will shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving this future world!
>>2009824 >Why did we decide to develop "Soul Tide: Eclipse"?
This does not mean we are abandoning "Soul Tide". On the contrary, we hope to use this opportunity to make the worldview of the "Soul Tide" franchise richer and more multidimensional. "Soul Tide: Eclipse" will tell a brand-new story and further flesh out the historical map of the entire Continent Crescent.
As developers, as players, and especially as fans of anime-style games, we also want to keep pace with the times and create a game that stands out from what is currently on the market. No matter how much time passes, we have never forgotten our original intention: to bring joy and touching moments to everyone.
Admittedly, we have made mistakes and taken detours in the past. Without your continuous support and encouragement, it would have been hard for us to make it to where we are today. Therefore, please allow us to sincerely say to all our old and new friends: Thank you.
>So, what exactly have we been working on?
First of all, as a game focused on "companionship and raising beautiful girls," in order to deeply tell each girl's story and make the characters more multidimensional, we have upgraded the expressiveness of systems like memories and new chapter dates, all while ensuring a massive amount of text.
For the exploration and puzzle-solving segments, we have adopted more open 3D environments. You can control your favorite characters to seek the truth and solve puzzles in mazes with diverse environments. Furthermore... it seems that turning the monsters you encounter into companions might also become possible~
In terms of combat, while retaining traditional turn-based strategy, we have added more controllable movement space. Depending on distances and skill characteristics, you can deploy your formations more flexibly and enjoy the thrill of strategic coordination.
>>2009828 Space is limited, so we cannot explain everything here. We will continuously improve the developed content and look forward to hearing your voices in the upcoming beta test. To continue the story of the Crescent Continent, and to bring a better experience to every Detective, we hope you will actively participate in our very first beta test—the "Total Eclipse Test".
(Might as well throw in the character profile they posted for the MC)
[Profile: The Detective]
His clothes are as pitch-black as raven feathers, yet it refracts the spectrum of hope.
He seems a bit mysterious, doesn't he? I'm guessing he spent quite a bit of time brainstorming that pose in his head.
On a normal day, he's either playing dumb or cracking snarky jokes, but when push comes to shove, he's exceptionally reliable.
He's hard to figure out... though he does make a pretty great mouthpiece for saying what we're all thinking. He's also very protective of his clothes; to keep them from wrinkling, he makes sure to maintain his elegance even in battle.
It is as if he has an inexhaustible supply of energy, rushing all over the place every day, living a highly active lifestyle. His scope of work is vast— big jobs or small ones, he can handle it all.
Leave the professional problems to the professional, even if his solutions end up being completely unexpected.
>>2012886 gfl2 doesn't fit neatly in this thread because the tacked on femc, but i've been enjoying it lately, they've had a pretty good comeback, horizon walker is good too.
>>2013507 Its funny how it took like 7 years for gacha to switch from cameraman that might as well not exist (like nikke) to an MC that is the protagonist of the story and does shit, fgo and genshin did irreparable damage to the industry. It was also funny seeing devs trying to change shit up in real time like wuwa and czn, also gfl2 to an extent. And of course the special prize goes to zzz.
>>2007584 I'm surprised it hasn't been used after SpongeBob got into Brawl Stars, Mobile Legends, and Sonic. And the latter added the Smurfs in Rumble. Like, I know MLP is not the heavy fucking beast it sued to be in 2010 and 2015, but I bet your ass it deserves a Collab unlike the Smurfs.
>https://x.com/MAkeDrama_KR/status/2052677573088608744?s=20 MAkeDrama goods that they're giving out has nipples, does that mean the game will have them too?
>>2014524 if you bought the interactive scenes previously, they no longer work, the game has been throughly gimped
>painted on spats on virtually every character >interactive scenes no longer do anything >jiggle physics removed >burst and victory animations removed >can no longer 360 view the character model, the camera is stuck in place in the character profile
genshin is a lewder game at this point, they may aswell remove the +18 and change to all ages
>>2014074 No, only the same world. ST2 is apparently set around a hundred years after ST1, following a cataclysmic event that broke the moon and a resource war for its fragments that turned almost the whole world into a mana-radioactive wasteland, with humanity now living in fortress cities maintained by a giant corporation. The Doll-summoning techniques of the old era have been lost, and now a new technique has emerged where one can summon "Echoes" from other worlds instead. Dunno how the Echoes will differ from the Dolls though, who were girls from other worlds who have died and had their souls summoned to Continent Crescent to inhabit artificial bodies and take on an eldritch dungeon that normal humans can't enter at the risk of insanity.
>>2014895 I can't remember if it was last summer or the one before, but I remember they had a short test period and the game run like complete shit, like the most unoptimized feeling game I've ever played. The graphics were also not very good back then, and would look even worse now. Probably vaporware at this point.
>>2014895 I played the test of it. It was ROUGH, like pre-alpha rough. Still lewd Mechamusume in space has potential so I hope it wasn't completely scrapped.
I have a dilema boyos what do i do. >vns Gets boring if i read nonstop, moeges are extra boring plotges spam ntr and my zoomzoom brain needs gameplay >eroges/hgames On and off is nice but i cant have it as my main thing unless its on rance level quality which is rare, playing something like dusk city on and off is nice tho >gacha Obnoxious playerbase of xittertards and normalfags that eatup slop, nothing ever happens, spinless main characters, mild romance which has its own appeal i guess.
So i sticked longest whith gachas the longest, vns get repetitive and very predictable if not plotge and eroges just dont have enough quality content if its not something like alicesoft, sooo uhh which brings to the problem what are the alternatives?
>>2018812 That mindset of having a "main game" is pointless. It only works with multiplayer games like CS or Valorant. As it gets pointed out, with gachas you're not playing them, you're maintaining an account.
>>2018812 i really like horror, and some of the best horror for me was silent hill 2 & 3 (25 years ago), i played it like 5 years ago though, evil within 1, and visage. There haven't really been anything like it for me, these are once in a decade type games, i just live with the fact that i probably won't see something as good like them for another 10 years, and everything else is just slop trying to capture the feeling. I would say the same to you, just accept that there are no rancelikes or other decent games, and just accept shitty games / gachas for what they, are temporary fun until the next rance shows itself.
>>2019277 there used to be a more tentative list for the more fringe stuff. i think they should bring it back, but i think the "purists" scared them off. I think stuff like gakumas and dolphin wave belong on the list, as long as blatant cuckshit like brown shart doesn't get added, it's fine. very few "ML" purists games nowadays, now that snowbreak has been yeeted.
>>2020993 Where is this from? Also tried mod skyrim once just to waste all day for nothing lol, probably took more than i can bite at once and should have started little by little idk.
>>2020947 I mean, if you don't like the topic of the thread, and want to discuss a different topic, just create a new thread? You can put all of those light pandering games that aren't ML and as such don't get discussed here. You can call it something like "waifu games" or something.
>>2020947 Stuff with confirmed male MCs like Nikke can be added I guess. If that's not confirmed but the cast is all girls, as that other anon said, it falls into a different category.
>>2021003 Dragon girls anime race that's paywalled by ch1nk author, someone pirated a lot of them but it's scattered all over the internet (dwemermods, drownedmods, f95, ll, kemono) if you want to bother looking them up. >probably took more than i can bite at once and should have started little by little idk. It's gonna be hard even with modpacks, minecraft is fucking cakewalk in comparison but hey it's a good time waster.
>>2021517 Do people call Nikke cuckshit just because of Anderson, who has his own harem? The game makes him seem like more of a bro than a competitor since he's not interested in any of your girls and none of your girls are interested in him. I can't recall if the game ever showed any of his girls or it just hinted at them.
>>2022509 Dunno I just started the game so I can't make judgement yet. But if he actually was antagonizing towards (You) maybe there'd be more backlash maybe?
>>2023082 whatever you say tranny, keep playing with your little dolls all kept in separate neat drawers (wouldn't want to risk YURISHIT would we) like a six year old child.
>>2023095 Look, as someone who made fun of Nikke (shitposting mostly) there's a lot of shit that probably gets exaggerated. If Horizon Walker, which has playable male moles, or Magicami, which covers all kinds of fetishes including rape, can make it to the list then I don't see why Nikke shouldn't. That list isn't mine anyway so I don't really care. I just don't see any reason to think it's off-topic.
>>2023141 they should just remove calling it "harem" games and call it "ML" instead. ML= mentally ill purity spiraling, nothing but snowbreak fits the mold, and even now snowbreak is censored slop Harem= anything targetting the straight male audience, nikke, horizon walker, eversoul, gfl2, BA etc
>>2023141 The kind of people that make these list are an extreme case of mentally ill giga incel. Guys existing in the universe means you're getting cucked. Be happy that these retards are excluding themselves from nikke or something similar.
>>2023203 I made this general and it'll keep the name. >>2023208 Like I said, back to your containment. I don't know why you fags keep coming here to seethe, you already have a general.
>>2023308 I don't know what you said in other posts. Everyone is anonymous. I only know what the poster I'm replying to is saying. If it's not off-topic why do you want us to leave when we discuss it?
>nikke >inconsistent mc personality due to flip flopping between target audience >zero interactions >story focused, doesn't integrate romance to the story >openly mocked player who begs for cn QoL >literally asking for less fanservice in the survey It's babby's first waifuge
>>2023383 Because you people act like spergs. Just talk about it and ignore the tribalistic tards. But I guess it doesn't matter since the gdg schizos are in every gacha thread at this point. I might make another thread in an altchan.
Any games that dont have 50 different systems >you can level the girl up Simple, make sense >you can leveltgdir dkilks up Ok.. >you can get equipment and there's 10 equipment slots >you can level up the equipment >the equipment has sub slots that can also be leveled I just wanna game and goon, why is it do hard tofind xomething good for both
I tried Snowbreak before it rumoredly dies and this game is just impossible to understand. Not only because of where the story starts but also the sheer amount of bullshit technobabble.
I almost want the game to die just so something actually coherently written can take its place.
I was playing some old events, and actually Nikke does have some good pandering. It's just unfortunate that they are almost fanfiction tier with how little it matters to their dogshit main story which keeps forcing some idolslop.
>>2036554 Something about Nikke has always felt so sterile to me. Like the game was designed by committee in some boardroom. I hate the term but it feels soulless, I don't feel the horny energy from the game designers and artists. Maybe I'm just a schizo.
>>2039691 If you just want harem service, nikke is still pretty good. But the real soulless part is how much of it's orginal atmosphere is gone in an attempt to cater to a more general audience with whatever it's doing now with goddamn idols and shit.
It's funny, in a very early rapi bond epsiode, you see people straight up not letting nikke buys stuff from their store: a not so uncommon occurence according to her, and now you nikke as top idol.
Haven't popped in here since LO global release, wonder why it took 7 years they lost so much momentum and players for what? How did they manage such a fuck up Well at least its out now and of course it is peak
>>2039691 This, just compare Nikke to BD2 or Destiny Child. Say what you want about those two games, but you can't deny those fuckers were DEDICATED to the coom (and their collabs were better, not counting BD2's GS collab). Hell, even the CN version of Nikke proves they can do dedicated fanservice content but refuse to at every turn. It feels like the Shiftup I knew died when Hyulla left the company (he drew two of DC's most iconic waifus) and they fired the DC devs as soon as EoS was announced.
>>2039830 >Destiny Child. I tried it and it had negative harem. Like half the cast just insults you, and given how pathetic the lead was, he deserved it all, too.
>>2042707 Nah. I think it's legit Snowbreak player that called Star Savior as a platonic slop. The thread is comfy now, because he lost his face(Snowbreak died).
>>2042913 If hes unironically without shitposting calling star savior platonic he havent played it OR hes mindbroken by all mihomo(or its copies wuwa, nte is no better) chinkslop hes playing, Star savior is far from platonic.
>>2043157 Feels like nikke system just not sure if pulls carry over, and instead of 10 from events you get 15 limited pulls. Cant really say much yet on this tb.h
>>2043157 They give you tons of free tickets and you can stack guaranteed rate-up selections. For Bridal Carmen I could select a copy of her, select her weapon and then had a 3rd built up after my rolls. Flat 2% rate to get the rate-up character/weapon and an additional 2% for SSRs from the pool. The gacha is not stingy. They also hand out SSR selectors relatively often. Where Star Savior is somewhat stingy is gem income and prices in the cash shop. There are great deals to be found but avoid the higher priced ones.
Muv luv garden is great but im kinda disappointed how there is no "threat" i mean im not that far into the story so who knows, but what i liked most about muv luv is how big of a presence beta had.
>>2045683 Dont twist my words with your faggotory, but i will give you that yes that one scene was gay as fuck and im not excusing it but thats not what i was even talking about.
>>2046650 Dont get too invested in sumika i will leave it at that because there are some bugman tropes pushed onto her other than that its a great vn with world as interesting as elder scrolls or continent from rance and your usual choice of girls like in any vn you would expect.
