        There's ten characters that are actually based on Bomberman, twelve if you count Silva as a B-Daman rep and Honey. The other eleven are Konami guests, OCs and characters based on Konami properties.

    Genshin isn't popular because of coomers and it's a legitimately great game. The industry is fine if only because Genshin exists right now.

      Genshin is one of the least coomer games
      it's literally sanitized garbage with next to no pandering or sexualization, shit is practically Disney

      Just like EA triggered the era of lootboxes and DLCs, Genshit Impact will trigger a new era of gacha and predatory practices. The gaming industry is over. Gacha, stamina system, p2w, are all that's left for the future of gaming.

        We've long been in that generation because of EA. Genshin isn't cancerous though because it's a fantastic game with a huge budget, one of the largest in gaming period and it has way more content drops than anything else I can think of. Good content drops anyway.

        If another studio takes up this model of making a high budget game and constantly updating it I'll be happy. But they won't because they're just going to keep shoveling out shit instead.

        And keep in mind Genshin is free of all things. It's seriously mindblowing how blessed we are.

          Understanding of software and computers in general. You are very naive if you think you can just resurrect old events like they're a button to be turned on. It won't be possible.

          Genshins service nature is why it is appealing. As an old gamer I love seeing a game develop over time like this. There are always fun little events and then big ones too like the one coming tomorrow. It's something where you have to recognize the qualities given to you that come with the things you don't like, and realize the things you don't like in fact generate the quality financially.

          As of patch 3.0 in August the game will be by far the richest, largest open world out there.

                as a player returning after finishing all quests during launch I feel really frustrated coming into the game and getting engaged to the story knowing that I missed story events that wont be around never again, I quit for couple of years because I wanted to let the story and new quest to be developed and added, and knowing that the game was grabbing people by the balls to not leave like I did feels fricking bad.
                Yeah I could just watch it on youtube, but its not the same.
                I'm going to be finishing the archon quests for inazuma and probably quit forever because of it, looking how youtube has like 20 hours of cut content from story events, by the time the game ends the first chapter you will have almost 100 hours of cut content just for the sake of making people return and stay.

                I feel your pain anon, but it's part of a gacha game's design to keep people regularly playing. Having time limited events incentivizes players to stay playing.

                I'm sure if the game lasts longer then one day it should get older stories and events added as permanent content though like most gacha games do.

                I totally understand the frustration. I think it's fricked up that new players can't play unreconciled stars, dragonspine events etc.

                On the other hand, this approach has funded the game to be what it is. Unlike a lot of other companies the money is doing work. The chasm area just released is by far the best and most detailed, interesting and generally fun area of the game.

                There are only 3-4 major events a year really

                I think enka was moved around so much that it lost its original relevance and parts of the plot were moved to sumeru. Didn't hugely enjoy it and I think the reason is enka was worked on very early so it's missing the lessons they learned after release. The day night mechanic was far more irritating to me than anything else in the game really. And some obtuse puzzles in that area. It's the one part of the game I don't go back to much. I run around liyue and shit all the time

                It's honestly weird that it paused the game like that. It's less demanding on hardware than the normal TOD mechanic which can update in real-time if you do it online. It's also similar to how the Inazuma Teapot works with just a night/day and nothing else.

    I think the Diablo Immortal hatred is way overblown, and is more a case of franchise recognition than anything. Any game with buyable power, however small, has an essentially unlimited spend.

    Whales in Black Desert buy in game costumes to sell for in game money with real money. There is no upper limit, and sensationalist headlines about how much to "max out" a character are moronic.

          You can clear genshin including the challenge abyss mode 100% free easily. You will want other characters because they are cool and the more variations of parties you can do, the more fun.

          It has a lot to offer in terms of open world because the world is very nuanced and detailed. You find little things everywhere and will miss stuff and find it a year later. Best in class Jap VA and music are standouts to me. I truly believe the composer will eclipse names like Nobuo Uematsu and I heard him as an adolescent so his music was extremely important to me.

          It's also fricking beautiful and has great weather effects and stuff like that which it rarely gets any credit for. I can't remember another game where sunrises and sunsets can look so different based on whatever atmospheric conditions the game decides.

          If you start playing now tomorrow is the last patch of 2.x where you can get a free very useful character, free skin for her, and lots of free primos and upgrade items etc.

          Concurrently the banner for Kazuha, one of the most fun and powerful characters finally comes back tomorrow.

          It is a full and beautiful game with a good story for $0. I say to people that to have a good experience you do need to spend $5 a month. If you get into the game you will automatically probably end up spending $15 a month instead total for the battle pass and daily gems. I spend that much in energy drinks in 2 or 3 days.

                It's an action adventure jrpg. Calling it open world is a disservice.

                Did you know you have a little magical realm where you can design your own area for you and people you invite, using basically every prop in the game? And they keep adding stuff like musical features, a time trial course feature, soon jump pads, etc. There are TONS of different things to do and the combat is satisfying to plenty of people who can go in without expecting every game to be DMC

                If you play it just realize that content is linearly getting better over time so the first area is the weakest. However the new country drops in 6 weeks and it's like the size of the entire game over again. With totally new everything and continuing the main story which will take you a long time to get this far to start with.

                In the event that this game ever hit EoS, the whales that stuck it out throughout would definitely not want everyone getting the same benefits they've had. Its far more likely for people to retain their accounts progress but with no more gacha if the game is taken offline, or a revised pricing structure if content stops.

        you can do that or you can just join a guild that gets in A-tier then throws their matches and get the sunstone with 10min of daily contribution

    I feel like it's a moral obligation at this point to make more gachas and accelerate the decline

    I'll never play botw because it was made by ninten*o

    I might play genshin because it has coomer anime waifus.

    Simple as.

    Im baffled how mihoyo doesnt even have to reinvest that much of the profit to keep making genshin content since they invest that money in other projects.
    makes me wonder how much profit non game gachas make seeing how their dev cost must be pennies.

      200m per year is a massive investment

        they spend around 200m per big patch.
        Add the fact they have to give profit to their investors and other shit they have to pay.

        which is it

          They're both right, the "big patch" anon is just confusing it. We're on 2.x right now with 3.x upcoming. Each version according to the devs is costing them 200m.

        They don't have investors that they have to give profit to. Mihoyo is self built.

      Mihoyo dropped a trailer showing all the Harbingers and showed the 3.0 characters.

    Genshin and FGO I can understand, weebs can get very obsessive over some characters

    but spending money on Immortal where the only things you get is some fricking gems is just moronic

    Why is FGO being alive suprising? It's the best game on the list

      all are trash, anon
      but to answer your question, the Fate IP still means something to a bunch of whales. that's why it's still alive. Consider nips are nationalistic as frick to the point they will give FGO devs money just to mog the chinks

        I hope they paid him a lot of money because doing that shit can give you a hell of a problem with the CCP and everyone would prefer to avoid having trouble with them

    One thing I like the most about azur lane is that
    When you buy the monthly daily goodies
    You don't even have to log in to get them
    They just go straight into your mailbox
    Even when you never log in for years
    All the apollogem and anniversary give out still go into your mailbox

    Other games just force you to punch in daily like it's a fricking job

    Damn, Azure Lane climbed back the ladder. They got hit pretty bad with Chinese censorship and they did not have ultra lewd outfits and no swimsuits because of that.

      the servers are so full of bots they are now charging $8 so you can have to privilege of getting in the servers. The game has three fricking banners (skins, weapons/armor and pets/familiars) with shitty rates and dont forget the stupid NFT/crypto shit in the game
