Cope bro, most of those anime open world games suck and have a lot of red flags. And Koreans can’t make mmos to save their lives.
Dragon sword d does look like an upgrade from other games like dragon raja though, characters have better facial animations and actuality cry and the graphics look like a real nice upgrade. Still, Korean gatcha suck dick.
> gatcha
I meant mmos
I’ve tried playing them ever since I was a kid 7+ years ago, they just suck, especially bdo. That was a gay game and the first game I refunded on steam.
>open world anime
Mid
Unending Dawn is not a gacha tho?
are you sure?
UI feels more PC/Console, and I didn't see any info about it being gacha.
Not a gay but the only game I'm waiting for from that list is infinity nikki
nb looks like they outright copied mondstadt, genshin star rail at home for you, guys
re:zero looks like a 90mb 3d adventure pokemon game i played on an old toaster
some are decent enough to play at least for 2 days, assuming if they're mobagacha.
project mugen seems like they have the cutest girls out of the bunch, prime for children correction. though i detest its kind of music style, vocal song is torturous just like those shitty anime during the golden of days of anime when they just try to imitate whatever from western culture (glad to not be there during that time). also can't you say anything other than how 'omoshiroi' it's gonna be (begin of trailer).
also does zenless zone zero count? though the combat doesn't look like anything really engaging or exciting
only excited for mugen
game looks the most different of all these open world waifu gachas
i think the urban setting makes it stand out, while most of the others are in some fantasy setting with non-existent modern touch
gameplay already looks fun
if what they showed plays exactly like that on release, it could be one of the best open world gacha games to date
the grapple swing looks addicting, the open world feels fun to explore with a car or a bike or something, activities/hangouts are confirmed, open world traversal wont feel like a slog due to no limits of running and stuff
i already love the visuals and aesthetics, feels like they are going for a similar style to zzz
not too sold out on character designs though, would like to see some more designs before i make a judgement
>also does zenless zone zero count?
nope
it is not an open world
i like that actually
not every game has to be open world
zzz's hub looks incredibly fleshed out
i like how much effort hoyo has put to make it polished and expressive
>only excited for mugen
looks the best imo
>men with beach gear at the beach
>women wear full on clothes at the beach
wtf is this, a muslim game??
It's chink trying to mass appeal so might as well be. Expect genshin-tier homosexualry in terms of character design.
>>men with beach gear at the beach
wear full on clothes at the beach
Lmao dead game nobody will play this shit
EOS day 1
I like how everyone shits on the RE:Zero game
With such asset quality it could have chance like in 2012 at max
I'm waiting for Project OS by Kong Studios, though it'll probably won't be gacha because it's being developed for PC and consoles, not mobile
Chinks really love the word project
It's just gamedev things, but yeah it's usually asian studios that don't bother naming, sometimes until the very release, and just stay with "project smth"

why do homoverse™ gaygies come to other generals and threads to shitpost and doompost other games instead of playing their homoverse™ slop?
Need to take out their frustration from 1+ year of no new female banner somewhere.
The main issue with Project Mugen is Netease.
It's game developer and published simultaneously. The company usually create interesting games by design, something like Fortnite but with anime girls and mechas.
HOWEVER
All their games are dying due to lack of optimization, absurd ping and other stuff.
So if Mugen will be similar to their other game it literally will unplayable.
>Netease.
>It's game developer and published simultaneously. The company usually create interesting games by design, something like Fortnite but with anime girls and mechas.
Their games are fine, their most popular game identity v is more popular than dead by daylight mobile by 10 to 1. And the optimisation in their games are ok.
Apart from identity v they don't have any other flagship titles. The other games don't have much downloads due to it not really diffreanciating too much from the competition. Identity v is a lot different though where they looked at the market and made a dead by dalyight game on mobile a lot more tolerable by makimg it look quite cartoony.
No one really wants another fortnite clone anime nonetheless, the battle royale space is already ran by tencent with pubg mobile.
Like seriously how is this dying lmao? Their main flagship game has a really high userbase. More than double that genshin has. 300 million vs 130 million, due to the game being more optimised and a loooot lower in terms of storage. Genshin players pay a lot more in cash though.

its just fearmongering from homoverse troons
this happens every fricking time a new open world anime waifu game is revealed or released
these gaygies literally cannot help but shitpost and doompost every single game that may seem like a competitor to their glorious nu-homoverse slop gayshit gaypact
admittedly, tower of fantasy was crap, but they have been doomposting other games that havent even released yet as well, while their own slop is a total shitshow due to censorship of female characters and homosexual male characters
wuthering waves is healing
That's good I guess. I sent them feedback about the female designs and one of my main complaints was that it was hard to make what they were wearing as they all had like 6 different layers of different clothing. Also attached this edit.
Bailian is literally night and day. Hopefully they also fix Chixia.
They already fixed chixia, she's doesn't need anymore redesigns. Although I wouldn't complain if her outfit was made less asymmetrical and stapled together.
Really? In the image she looks the same and has the same weird torn asymmetrical clothes
Do people still care about this game after the beta turned out to be a complete wet fart? They have a lot more to do than just unfrick the designs.
Who knows. Designs can literally sell a game so it's good that they at least listened to that. I'm still hoping they add vehicles.
I find the character models also look really weird so the designs are not the only thing they fricked up. It's just bizarre that they got everything wrong even with their experience with PGR.
they look fine imo
nah not really
the designs just look as ugly as genshin, a game i genuinely dont like due to the overdesigned characters meme
if the npcs and the playable characters look like 2 separate art direction teams worked on them to the point they dont even seem like they belong in the same game, it's just bad character design
we're talking about the quality of the models themselves
yeah I can see why, Mugrn's trailer was so hype
i completely lost interest in every single open world waifu game after mugen was revealed
i guess i am just burnt out by the fantasy setting
urban setting feels more inviting for now
The treatment of future of Blue Protocol killed my hopes for any MMO. If Project Mugen comes out burning, it will kill my hope for open-world gacha as well.
>Blue Protocol
Don't remind me
>not only confirm there will be a year-long wait
>but confirm that the non-JP regions will be censored for 'muh family friendliness'
>implying anyone would be playing their MMO game on the living room TV for the family to see
And to top all of this off, if you try to VPN and play the uncensored server you'll be sniped out by bored Japs that are happy to abuse the fact they can report people and hand out insta-bans for foreigners.
It's like they don't know the "people" who care about the woke garbage Amazon is adding to the game aren't the type to play MMOs, not like they play any kind of game to begin with.
>all chink or asiatic shit
frick that shit, how can we make japan great again?
japan has been making mid games
even nintendo games are lacking in post launch support
i hate what they did to new horizons and how splat 3/totk feel like dlcs
china is simply being very competitive
even the pokemon x genshin game (roco kingdom) looks far more interesting and high effort compared to modern pokeshit games
switch 2 will shake things up if the rumors are true, guess we will have to wait and see

No, only in the mobile market, in the pc space they are as good as dead

its okay anon, about time you realize japan is falling behind while china is putting out games with bigger scope
Genshin is receding.
True but that's by miHoYo's own decision for some weird reason. They already massacred the game anyway so it isn't like we should care.
an ass of himself by not realizing the pc market for gachas like genshin are bigger than mobile markets
it isn't, really isn't
>AND the mobile market for one region alone makes shittons of money
never said mobile doesn't make money
my point is that the pokemon clone is pretty bad and chinese developers view it more as
> "cash grabs or gambling substitutes"
even the big ones, super unique concepts with high budgets aren't happening yet as it hasn't really matured a lot
Mayne hitori no shita will be one but idc how they are gonna monetise the game
>even the pokemon x genshin game (roco kingdom) looks far more interesting and high effort compared to modern pokeshit games
pokechink looks like such a shameless ripoff of pokemon that even gamefreak doesn't deserve the insult from playing it, as awful as they are
they literally had a wooloo in the trailer, i don't even know how that is legal since its blatant stealing of IP at this point
you are talking about some completely different game, dumbass mutt
>waaaaaaaaah game has sheep in it that is literal stealing waaaah!
dumb fricking mutt
you will never be japanese
by telling them to export their stuff to foreigners.
and tell them to actually give a shit about gameplay already. that requires them to think of mobile games as something more than cash grabs or gambling substitutes.
That's what happens when you condition the higher levels of JP devs that realistic>anime, blame the west.
What the frick are you on, /misc/ack? All japs ever do is shit out crappy PNG collectors and slot simulators for the mobile market. They make no effort to even try to move away from this model or experiment a little more with their mobile games.
Take a look at the JP companies making mobile games, most of them are small studios even when they try to make 3d games it always ends in failure most likely due to their inablitiy to market their games since they are again smaller studios, the only one I can think of that might be able to pull it off is Cygames but even then it would be a tall order for them looking at ReLink. The only ones with the capabilities to make open world games are the AAA studios but like I said they don't make games that are "too anime". CN and KR studios weren't grifted to hell like the JP old guard were and this is the result.
Just if it wasn't clear I am talking about the production of open world games as that is the topic of the thread and what I was assuming
was referring to.
By releasing 6000 yen per 10 rolls game
Does project mugen have males?
nvm I probably shouldve watched the trailer./
there are two, one seems to be the main character but its unconfirmed as of now
guess we will have to wait for them to show more footage at the tgs later this month
>anti-china poster is an esl
had a feeling it was a salty mutt
>mutt is STILL seething
i remember when people enjoyed videogames without chimping out about what country made them and without comparing every game to another game of the same genre
brother I don't care about what country it was made from I'm not even the guy you were responding to arguing about the validity of chinese games or whatever.
News soon
I thought they were gonna show a new trailer or something but it seems it'll be just a booth
https://twitter.com/WW_JP_Official/status/1702623294724383079
what game? wuthering waves?
yeah
I really need them to release WW right now. I don't mind if it's unfinished, keep making big changes after release. I have an itch to scatch. I can't with Genshin's garbage character designs and padded dialogue anymore.
Well they seem to be overhauling a lot of stuff so I doubt we'll see it before early 2024 and that's being optimistic.
>I don't mind if it's unfinished
They'd be extremely dumb if they released it unfinished after the reception ToF got.
tof didnt fall off because of being unfinished
it was legit handled extremely poorly during the launch window
i really loved so many of the features it had, but man, i could not keep playing such a messy game filled with game breaking bugs/glitches that let players steal items from other players (always online multiplayer game btw, so you CANNOT avoid it), or duplicate items (yes, even limited rolls, screw you paygays lol) or end banners early and cause frickups with how the gacha system is handled
it was going pretty well in the global version until people found out that the developers literally didnt code out any of the serious issues from the chinese version of the game, they literally didnt care
nta I don't care about ToF but I'd still check an offline version since it still has some elements that catch my attention (Lin). Not that I'd ever expect Tencent to go through the hassle, just getting out the thought.
My ideal scenario would be it getting absorbed into another game in better shape, kinda like it getting recycled inside Wuthering Waves. I'm too lazy to explain how that'd work so I'll leave it to your imagination.
>mugen
looks interesting; good choice of theme/setting and visual aesthetics; i wonder if the free roam will be as fun as gta; character designs are decent/good enough
>wuthering waves
genshin but dull; no idea how to feel about the combat gameplay; while it is good to see parry mechanics, you just know you are going to spam that parry button a thousand times if you are f2p and cant clear the enemy quickly; character designs are just as bad as genshin; immense chinawanking
>dragon sword
genshin but with a different shading style; character designs are refreshing to see however; mounts look interesting and a fun way to traverse the world
>unending dawn
genshin but dull and monotonous; again, no idea how to feel about the combat gameplay; character design is whatever (that signora mask lol)
personally excited for mugen
ngl, i feel like this open world gacha games genre already feels stagnated
too many developers trying their own take at genshin, which succeeded because of good marketing and quality of polish; too bad the game itself is pretty boring and the character designs dont appeal to me at all
i am quite interested in that pokemon x genshin game though; it is definitely an eye-catcher and also refreshing to see a non-waifu open world game like that, although i wonder if it will be gacha or have a different monetization module
>ngl, i feel like this open world gacha games genre already feels stagnated
Just like any other kind of open world game, we've been having this for over a decade already.
Stream tomorrow
Honestly I'm getting mixed signals with the redesigns and Kuro keeping Sanhua and Aalto designs the same
granted I don't care a lot about the male characters
there's also the leaks confirming that basically all remaining characters look exactly the same
Source?
https://twitter.com/Wuthering_Leaks/status/1703399151608742289
why is every single chinese company incompetent at making good male designs?
I just can't tell what the hell he is wearing, his clothes are so random
to be fair, that isnt just an issue with wuthering waves
i should have added to my point that most chinese games have really bad clothing design
you just cant tell wtf was going on in the designer's head
wtf zeke??
Maybe Wuthering Waves isn't healing after all...
yeeeaaahhh im honestly more excited for project mugen at this point. WW dev has been kindof a shitshow
yeah, i feel like they are going for genshin but with a different palette and some modern shit, the character designs are just as bad if not worse
cant even be excited for games like these when they feel similar to games you played before and didnt like
mugen seems the most different for now, along with a certain other game (which i dont think is a gacha)
At least they undid the titty nerf.
Man Kurogame cant design a single appealing character huh? Still not sure why anyone plays PGR
PGR has some amazing designs
oh look, an evangelion character, now wheres those amazing designs?
She's hot and looks great.
kurogame fans are moronic, cant say Im shocked though
Look at the mirror, you can't even articulate why she "looks bad"
>look, an ass
If only breasts and ass was all it took to make a design good, right?
Designs that highlight the female body are great, yeah.
They still can't seem to let go of the random pieces of clothing. Why did they have to add that brown segment? The game is rated +16 for fricks sake
less than 12 hours until tgs
lets gooooo
>They still can't seem to let go of the random pieces of clothing.
see here
what about it? just because it's a common chink practice doesn't make it ok
anon, that is exactly what i am telling you
the designs suck because it is a chinese company
they seriously dont know how to design clothes to make characters stand out and feel important without over designing them
the playable character designs in these types of games are always gonna look like they belong to a completely different game than the npcs
this
not only is it a chinese company, they are also foolishly copying design trends from hoyo, the company known for the most atrocious character designs in the gacha market
they could just hire asiatic/japanese artists
That changes absolutely nothing. do you think artists have the final say in this? If the higher up say the characters need to wear more bags and belts and few more layers of cloaks then the artists will have to do as they said.
you can see an example of this with the recent Asanagi ship in Azur Lane, where Asanagi was clearly told to tone things down
yeah, ultimately the lead designer decides what final touch ips the characters need
tiffany (if you know who she is lol) is notorious for ruining several designs
ups*
Bombinata looks the same as her original art
>They still can't seem to let go of the random pieces of clothing
>a mihoyo clone company copies mihoyo design mentality
They won't "let go" of it for a while
The only good design PGR has was Bianca and her variance.
tgs soon
what are your hopes and expectations?
what news are we expecting?
what news will blow this thread up?
myself, very excited for mugen
i hope they show off open world gameplay, free roam activities, interactions with npcs and objects
I'm hoping to be impressed by at least ONE game, if not then I definitely give up.
Project Mugen should appeal to the male demographic and make it clear, I don't want any fujo nor homosexual pandering whatsoever. I also wanna see more gameplay, hopefully an in-depth look. If it delivers on both fronts then it'll become my most anticipated game.
Wuthering Waves is kinda hard. They redesigned two of the initial characters but those changes don't see to be reflected in the on-going closed beta, so who knows how the game is going to end up. They're already chasing the fujo demographic which unfortunately has a lot of overlap with the twitter freak mob. That already puts it below Project Mugen. The combat looks very interesting but I don't think it can carry a live service game for more than 2 years, so I hope they're adding more sandbox elements like Mugen did.
No idea what else there is to look forward to.
Mugen has very impressive trailer, its enough to get a lot of peoples hopes up. But until I see actual gameplay and systems, Im not quite sold on it
WW is just gonna be shit, the company can do nothing but make bootleg hoyoshit products. Its like someones is shoveling shit in their mouth, then shitting that shit out and serving it to you
>But until I see actual gameplay
We did see actual gameplay though, just not the UI but for that you can expect the usual 2/3 skills + ultimate since it's on mobile.
>They're already chasing the fujo demographic which unfortunately has a lot of overlap with the twitter freak mob.
And they'll most likely fail because those people already play Genshin and Star Rail; plus WW looks like a drearier Genshin, good luck selling that to females. Kuro needs to learn that this isn't going to be like PGR, which only got the fujos cuz Honkai didn't try at all (and AG not only came too late to make a difference, but also mostly caved in to waifugays anyway)
>I don't want any fujo nor homosexual pandering whatsoever
As long as there's male characters it will attract fujos, they can have delusions even if two characters are never seen together.
>They're already chasing the fujo demographic which unfortunately has a lot of overlap with the twitter freak mob.
aka easy skip
i didnt enjoy genshit, i dont think i will enjoy this either
character designs are the most important part of any gacha, and wuwa characters already look pretty bad
I'm very interested in PM. WW, I don't really feel good about it looking at the world but I hope its fun.
is there a single stream for tgc or just individual videos?
individual videos see
Yangyang's new design
So she got a skirt instead of some ugly ass pants ?
yeah
Looks like they fixed her breasts.
WW just lacks that smoothness that Genshin has, idk what it is.
the only smooth thing about genshit is the brains of its players
so, looks like wuthering waves is confirmed for 21/9 and hoyo will have their segment on 22/9
netease will be announcing a new title on the first day of tgs, but we dont know if they will also have any presentation for their other games (mugen specifically)
the wuthering waves already happened, did you forget japan is 1 day in the future?
>a video showing locations they copied from genshin
I'm baffled at their audacity.
That looks good though. A lot of people complained about how dull and desaturated the previous betas looked. Now there's some actual juxtaposition between the dead areas and the ones that stuff have flora.
I feel like I haven seen everything in this video in Genshin before, it looks like they just kitbashed Liyue and Inazuma together.
You did. The first area is Inazuma city, the second is the Chasm, the third is a mix of Liyue and Inazumi architecture, the fourth is Wangshu Inn and the last and most obvious one is the path to Liyue city, with the same elevation change going into a big arch that leads to a bridge that leads to the city that has similar elevation, the two mountains behind are also something you saw in Liyue.
another reason to not be hyped for it
they literally just want to create another genshit
i didnt like genshit, wont like this either
i can excuse the world building, it doesnt matter much to me, but character designs are the most important part of any gacha, and it looks like they are taking notes from genshit's horrid character designs
yep
the dickriders of a certain gacha company are going to infiltrate just like they did with tof, and ruin the fun for everyone else by constant shitposting and demoralizing players from playing it
and you're literally one of them so stfu
lol no
i dont even play any hoyo slop
yet you can't stop yourself from mentioning their games in every post
Doesn’t matter if it’s actually good. Problem is nobody has made one that you’d say is good. I don’t think gachas really need to be that good, but TOF ain’t it.
Man that really is just genshin but without the color
Worried about the procedural generation part, even though I get what they mean
>actual indoor areas
>can pick up cats
Genshin is finished
i think procedural was only for creating the world
many game studios do that
that doesnt mean the world will be procedurally generated everytime players boot the game
i love how they casually show off that there are no loading screens between overworld and interiors
moron
>Genshin is finished
The actual game that may get finished is Wuthering with it being a mediocre Genshin clone, they missed their chance to release it and now they have to compete with a much more promising new comer. Meanwhile Genshin can keep its playerbase, I actually don't want them to spill out to other games.
>I actually don't want them to spill out to other games
fricking this
genshit is a containment game
yep
it acts as a solid containment for the most mentally ill twitter troons
as long as they keep playing genshit, other gachas are safe
>I actually don't want them to spill out to other games.
I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you, the kind that needs to be contained doesn't really care about genshin because it's genshin, it's because it's popular, they're like locusts that move to the next new thing to devour it's soul, leave only it's rotting corpse and then move on to the next new thing.
Yeah looking at the latest posts in this thread it's obvious the morons won't stay away
>Worried about the procedural generation part, even though I get what they mean
It was likely just to create the general shape of the buildings and all that, then they customized most of it to give the city life.
Project Mugen
that looks pretty neat
at least there's confirmation it has things and activities to do in overworld
y'all Black folk sure do talk about genshin a whole heck of a lot in here.
>you sure talk a lot about the market leader in terms of open world gacha in this thread about open world gacha
Big fricking surprise isn't it you dumb frick? Its almost like people hope those upcoming games improve on the ass formula of genshit
maybe because genshit fans cant stop wanking their game off in every single space meant for discussing videogames
FeMC now has huge thighs
>they haven't removed the split hair that makes no sense since they don't have wind gliders like genshin
They really want to be known as a genshin copy.
I think they are trying to double down on the Genshin copy aspect since it would serve as free promotion material for them.
All I want is a Genshin clone but with
>better character designs
>less content locked behind padded u skippable dialogue and cutscenes
the devs just don't get it. Idk why every gacha game nowadays design characters that wear literally 10+ belts and pointless accessories.
>Genshin clone
Honestly I doubt this will cut it at this point, the game doesn't even have a release date on sight which means they probably know this.
>characters that wear literally 10+ belts and pointless accessories.
Yeah I hate this too. All we can do is keep sending feedback.
Meanwhile I just want a Honkai clone but hornier-sadly that will never happen
>Honker Clone but hornier
Aren't that just Aether Gazer and PGR?
is it me or is AG picking up some steam recently? People seem happy with it?
it's exactly what they're advertising it as and has some great character designs
I dunno either it is too late or not enough but I really have no interest in playing AG anymore despite getting all the waifu (Hades, Hera, Tsukuyomi).
>Aether Gazer
Compare it to Azur Lane, which has the same devs(I think) and publisher, and you'll find it quite disappointing
>PGR
You can TELL the art team is comprised of fujos. While Bianca Alter and Ayla show they are capable of making sexy characters, they clearly choose not to 99% of the time
I'm pretty sure that's going for a different kind of combat, like Alice gear aegis or something...and to be frank, I liked Aozora no Xipuria's art direction more.
>same devs
Not exactly, this is Yongshi solo project, Manjuu is the one behind AL art direction, while Yongshi only handles the technical side. They also went with the lower age rating for Aether Gazer and frankly it didn't work out so well for them for the first year. They only rolled out more coomer designs and skins recently.
Wait for Nornium.
Just give me Genshin, but it’s not made only for 10 years old and women. Also no troonbian homofujo agendas everywhere.
>Also no troonbian homofujo agendas everywhere.
I'm sorry anon but there are already several playable fujobaits
another challenger
looks like shit
we didnt really need another genshit, which is already a mediocre, overrated game
"we" who?
me and him
Well looks like this isn't open-world after all. Maps seem to be instanced.
the character designs are so dogshit
This may be what dooms the game, how do they plan to keep whales with those?
they are obviously taking notes from the g game, thinking what worked for that game will work for theirs as well
>they are obviously taking notes from the g game
Yeah no, it's nowhere as bad as genshin, most of the clothes actually make sense instead of being the way they are because of a game mechanic (wind glider), also not overdesigned enough to be genshin's level of bad. To me the problem is just that the characters aren't interesting enough, if I were a whale I can't see myself spending for any of the ones shown.
Welcome to modern mobile gachas.
I'm so sick of this quickswap combat style.
With time I've realized I like more playing as a single complex character
tof has that feature
just choose to use one character and equip the weapons on that character
the characters in tof act more like skins
too bad that game is hard p2w and a nightmare for f2p
I'm not. But only when tagging in is part of the combat. I didn't play it for long but I liked how honkai had different conditions for each character that would trigger unique tag in attacks.
that is a good idea, but it also heavily restricts team building
i think zzz is doing it better by having something universal act as tag-in, like getting hit
there should be something like that instead of very specific conditions that dont exist in many characters' kits, for example, performing a dogde, or dealing a charged attack on an enemy, or using a skill/ultimate
>it also heavily restricts team building
Unless the dev absolutely fricks it up by having a very skewed meta, it just makes it fun to try and find different comps.
>i think zzz is doing it better by having something universal act as tag-in, like getting hit
its literally even worse because your character spends 0.4 seconds on the field before you get assaulted with screenwide popups to switch for big damage
>Flashy gameplay and combos
Why not make the games have RPG elements in them? That would increase player investment time in it?
I looked up the leaked characters (unknown which are playable or NPCs) for wuthing waves and it got me thinking, it's really going to be this way, huh? They're really going to have to give every character several redesigns before they bumble their way to a halfway decent design.
I don't know what kuro's artists are doing, I really don't.
they are copying all the bad trends from genshit
i dont think it is going to last long after release since genshit already has that market covered
Can you stop thinking about genshin for one post? Holy shit.
>game blatantly copying all the game design trends from genshit
>simply make an observation
>"please stop talking about this!"
are you mentally challenged anon?
Probably mad someone called a part of genshin shit. They do this all the time in other gacha threads on /vg/.
yeah
discussion of games is impossible because these hoyodrone dickriders get easily offended over someone criticizing their slop
anon, you are using the same idiotic defensive arguments as pokemon fans
these trailers are meant to give players an idea of what they can expect the game to be like when it releases
dont get mad when people make simple observations such as "why does this look similar to other game"
These betas have a purpose anon, it isn't like with western games that betas are a glorified early access.
>These betas have a purpose
WW still looks like bleak genshin after the beta and it's characters still don't appeal to me, so if nothing was drastically changed what purpose did the beta serve?
That unironically sounds like a (You) issue
You're the one who said it isn't like western betas that are a glorified early access, if they don't make any drastic changes then that's exactly what it is.
And the censorship is the only thing they're changing.
>And the censorship is the only thing they're changing.
Nah they've also updated the visuals since people complained about the world looking dull.
>what purpose did the beta serve?
Apparently people told them the world looked too dull, certain characters looked too bland, and the censorship was unwanted.
>these trailers are meant to give players an idea of what they can expect the game to be like when it releases
nta but the recent trailers are to show what they've changed. I had already written the game off because of how bland the world looked and the censorship. Now I see them undoing the censorship and adding a little vibrancy to the world while still keeping the corrupted areas looking desolate. Now that leaves the gameplay structure and boring character designs that seemingly need at least 3 revisions before turning decent.
The game is nowhere near release so calm your fat breasts moron
i honestly dont expect wuwa to go big unless they have likeable designs and a really interesting, well-written story that isnt wanking off china
they are clearly marketing this to the genshin audience but i doubt the genshin audience will hold on to this
they will most likely pick it up, shit all over the game and then leave when enough damage is done
CN beta testers were bashing the story, said it was dog shit and the NPCs were unlikable backstabbers. So they literally didn't get a single thing right.
The cope during CBT2 was that this is normal for kuro and they'll totally turn it around like they did with PGR. It seems like they're on that track, and it's nice they're actually willing to go back to the drawing board several times, but they can't be doing that when they're actually supporting a live game.
>reverse the blonde e-girl to her grey bodysuit
lol frick no. I don't care what you think of the redesign, the jumpsuit was fricking garbage. You want to talk about bland character designs, she's literally wearing a fricking gray jumpsuit.
that's not a bland design
the colors on the left can be improved, but the one on the right is just overdesigned mess
Nah, this is bland as hell in both color and design. Like, what is she supposed to be, an astronaut? The worst part of it is those big rigid short sleeves over long sleeves that hack designers love to do for sci-fi armor in mmos and such. The only thing that looks better is the hair. It's fluffy and makes her look playful.
>well I bet you just like the right because GENSHIN GENSHIN GENSHIN
It's not good either but it's sure as shit better than the homosexual ass jumpsuit. It almost looks like they wanted to give her a summer dress but couldn't do something so simple because gacha brain. Specifically, the artists seem to be clinging to their design motif of layered shapes like how you can see on her torso. Shit just looks like she stapled letter envelopes together or something.
Well thanks for proving my point I guess.
>homosexual ass jumpsuit
Holy shit the crap I read here sometimes lol
Why do you think it's a good design?
For starters it's easier on the eyes. The design itself has better hair, the visor is better, her bodysuit is more symmetrical looking and also sexier. Like previously mentioned designs that highlight the female body are better.
Yeah there's room for improvement but it's a much better base than the redesign.
>it's easier on the eyes
i.e. bland
>her bodysuit is more symmetrical looking
Again, bland.
>sexier
Yeah, those homosexual ass sleeves and homosexual ass bell bottoms just scream sex appeal.
The only thing the old design had going for it was the chest/tummy window.
None of this fricking matters anyway since they'll just redesign it again.
>bland
are you really THAT much of a fan for this sort of shit? wtf is wrong with you?
just frick off to Homoverse games you'll feel right at home there
it is a genshitter anon
they are the only people in the gacha market used to eating the mid ass designs they are served
other hoyoshit games are taking notes from genshit too, so now we also have other hoyodrones who will praise these overdesigned, messy character designs and shit on the simple designs that feel "bland" to them
I think this design still needs 3 more pair of belts plus a few more accessories hanging around the waist.
I don't know wtf happened, it wasn't this bad before.
I mean, it was still tolerable before they introduced the flame chasers then everything took a fricking nose dive.
it really wasnt this bad
the difference is simply shocking
Making the protagonists Herscherrs(and abyss mode imo) was the biggest mistake the game could have made. Also, White Comet still best design
>White Comet still best design
Indeed. We fricking need more bodysuits in these games.
what is this style called? does every design school in china teach this and only this?
Tetsuya Nomura style.
>Extra useless belt? Check
>Tons of random accessories? Check
>Unven sleves? miss matching shoes or socks? Check
>Horid hair style that looks straight out of a Host bar from Japan? Check
dont mind some assymetry but everything else in this list irks me
especially the hair
also adding another point: hair colors and eye colors
god i hate when they so badly want the 7 year old morons who play their games to know this character is totally an ice type character with the pale blue/grey/white colors in their designs, or have red/orange colors in their design if it is a fire type character and so on
asymmetry*
This is one of the latest Tetsuya Nomura characters and she doesn't look this bad. You're talking about Kingdom Hearts right? Damn I wonder how and why chinks adopted the worst aspects of his characters
Way back, I am talking about the FFVIII era when he became the lead Character designer and cumulated to his peak (and worst) at Final Fantasy X
I am surprised by the brown hair
Usually they go crazy with the hair colors too, but I just remembered they have another character that looks fricking ugly thanks to the hair colors
Why do you keep bringing up genshin?
>I bet you like THIS then!
I told you I don't like the e-girl's redesign either, you dummy
>her bodysuit is more symmetrical looking and also sexier
her bodysuit has ton of useless shit hanging ogg it and all consists of one color, you call this shit sexier but the design has no curves that could be put on display with that bodysuit and theres a single tiny triangle cutout for the skin that doesnt even reach to her bellybutton. If this is your definition of sexy, you might be a muslim
Still way better than the redesign
>single tiny triangle cutout for the skin that doesnt even reach to her bellybutton. If this is your definition of sexy, you might be a muslim
>e-girl showing skin isn't sexy
And you are a raging homo
What skin? There's barely anything there you fricking chink
The one you described in your post you fricking subhuman
>what is she supposed to be?
holy shit confirmed genshitter
you need clothes to tell you what occupation a character has? what are you? an 8 year old? lmao
and that doesnt look bland at all, there are details on that piece of clothing, it's only the color scheme that feels washed out
>the jumpsuit was fricking garbage
No it wasn't. The way that you shit on the bodysuit but not on the Genshin-tier redesign speaks volumes about your taste.
>and they'll totally turn it around like they did with PGR
If that were the case they wouldn't frick up in the first place since they have prior experience.
nothing wrong with experimenting
btw Bailian looks so much better it's not even funny. God I hope they also redesign the rest of the girls.
>parted hair
>buttflaps
oh they really are taking notes
that's not official art if you didn't notice
In the scenario that the game doesn't take off I expect them to go full coom with the female designs. What I want the most atm is for them to reverse the blonde e-girl to her grey bodysuit and to give Encore actual panties instead of those bloomers. They should know by now that e-girls make a ton of money in asia.
yeah
i guess they will learn it the hard way when it doesnt go as big as they planned and will have to put out content purely targeted to the main funders of the game
what a huge downgrade, I really hope chinks are voicing their complaints
Both look like shit though, left has awful proportion and right is just plain ugly.
bodysuit + midriff looks better, they just had to iterate from that concept
i think the right is just plain awful
left at least had some fan service and only had some weird proportions
right on the other hand is literal genshit levels of bad
Right looks like they tried to copy Arknights Suzuran but decided to make it looks much uglier to hide it.
lol
seriously, why do they do this despite knowing rich japs, koreans and chinese are the main target audience?
this shit is considered the best of character design in the gacha market, according to hoyodrones
mugen is the only open world gacha that looks exciting
sadly the rest just feel inspired by *THAT* game, and i didnt like it even a bit
i want to see new ideas in these games and mugen is the only one so far that feels the most different
Any fantasy game will be compared to Genshin, the only reason Mugen isn't is because it's urban themed instead.
This actually looks good and while I get how people may compare it to Genshin, I like the color palette they used for the environment. Not sold on the character designs though.
go away hoyokeks
>if you think a design is shit you must be a hoyocuck
kuroshitters and hoyocucks need to hang themselves, just think how much good it will do for china's overpopulation issue
go away sperg
>goes on autistic rant trying to defend shit character designs
>calls others spergs
Anyway
Project mugen is the only upcoming gachashit that looks like it has the potential to be a big deal. Wuwa could carve out a niche as being the genshin clone but with good combat, assuming they can keep unfricking their shit.
same honestly
genuinely do not care about any other open world gacha game for now since they all feel so similar to the game i didnt even like, while mugen feels refreshing to look at and will be quite fun to explore with those traversal options and side activities
the only other open world game i might be interested in is roco kingdom, but i dont know if it's a gacha; it would be weird to monetize monsters/creatures in a monster collection game
Knowing Kuckro's tendency to overcomplicate their character skills and battle, I have no hope for Wuwa.
Frick, even for PGR, the newer character the harder it is to play them with so many layers of mechanics on each of them
>overcomplicate their character skills and battle
Does pgr completely change in the later chapters and characters or something? Because what I played wasn't that complicated at all, battles especially. I dropped that game because it felt too much like a mobile with content designed around gameplay bursts a minute or 2 long.
They get long ass skill descriptions but in essence most of them boil down to hold x button during y while having enough resource z. Gachagays are too stupid and used to each character only having one skill and an ult that it's too complicated for them.
>They get long ass skill descriptions but in essence most of them boil down to hold x button during y while having enough resource z
Are you describing honkai?
He could be talking about any gachashit with engrish. I'm playing one right now that's needlessly complex with it's skills. They'll read like,
>Name: Blooming Rose
>Character casts Flowering Rose, dealing X dmg. Applies Stinging Rose, dealing X dmg every 1s. Duration 5s. On the last tick of Stinging Rose, applies Vengeful Rose. Affected target receives -30% to plant resistance.
We need more fan service in these games. I'm getting tired of the family friendly character designs, same with the chink asymmetrical designs.
>chink
There's your reason why we won't get more fan service.
Ironically, Tencent did publish Nikke via Level Infinite, but that was probably because ToF flopped (at least compared to Blue Archive and Genshin) and they really needed a hit
Nah Nikke is coom because dev is asiatic, also they still censor something like CRupee or OBT Anis/Emma
Only chink game that can count as coomer game is Azur lane
you mean the CCP? are you aware asiatics are the ones making Project Mugen?
Are you aware that mugen isn't the only game being discussed here?
What did you mean by this post
then??
Are you moronic? Nowhere in my post or the post I was replying to is Mugen singled out, in fact the post I replied to says:
>We need more fan service in these games
Games, plural. You're the one who mentioned Mugen exclusively as if what I said didn't still apply to the other games being discussed in this thread.
You're moronic
for me, the major issue in games like these are really bad character designs
i dont care much about censorship, but the character designs should be visually appealing at least
chinese games usually have character designs that look like they were generated using ai, and they are also very over-designed
really? is naked rain a korean studio?
>i dont care much about censorship, but the character designs should be visually appealing at least
The two usually go hand in hand. Just look at wuthering waves. The designs already weren't very good, but you have yangyang. Her outfit was alright but they ruin it with those dumb bandages that look out of place because they don't want to have a character showing too much cleavage or side boob. Same thing with the female player character. Her outfit is one of the more decent ones and they ruin it with a white under shirt that looks like an afterthought because someone decided they couldn't have visible sideboob.
Fortunately it seems like someone smacked some sense into kuro because that shit is gone as of tgs. Now it's just a matter of how many times are they willing to redesign characters before they stumble on something decent.
I'm guessing Arknights Endfield will be a Genshin clone
No one knows if that shit is even open world or not, the only PV they dropped did a stellar job explaining nothing about the game.
Guess the outcome
https://twitter.com/Wuthering_Leaks/status/1709245066810712450
>m*le
Don't care about that sephiroth looking motherfricker. I'm more interested in the girl they posted
>those colors
>that design
I mean what were they THINKING?!
Did they try to copy Genshin's Ayaka and somehow came up with a way worse design? Very impressive to frick up this bad actually.
Those look garbage, wuwa will fail because they can't into character design to save their lives.
i dont know why people are genuinely excited for wuthering waves
it looks like genshit, but worse
character designs are the most important part of any gacha game, and this one is going for a mix of bland similar looking faces + genshit styled clothing
My opinion of genshin is so low, wuwa could release tomorrow and have nothing over genshin besides better combat and I would still consider it the better game.
As to why I've put it back on my radar, kuro has shown they're making a real effort to address people's complaints. They've removed censorship, continue to completely redesign characters, and made the game world more vibrant. It's concerning enough already that they even have to make so many drastic changes over and over, but as long as they arrive at a good end point, I'll cut them some slack.
For some reasons the way they named their characters makes me think this will be a huge China Strong wankfest and that alone already turned me off, is the setting supposed to be some kind of Wuxia knockoff in post apocalypse setting? I can't tell because the art direction is all over the place.
>the art direction is all over the place
For the characters sure. It's gacha shit. The environments are pretty obviously trying to be sleek futuristic with a chink flavor though.
I'm on the same boat as you. Wait and see for now.
i hope we get character creation/customization option in mugen because its gonna be weird seeing 4 main characters during co op
News?
none at the moment
only some new screenshots for roco kingdom, but i doubt this is going to be a gacha
Ok these actually look like in-game footage
yeah
looks like they also changed the style for their vegetation to optimize it for phones and possibly even switch

https://www.pushsquare.com/features/interview-learning-more-about-project-mugen-a-new-ps5-ps4-game-that-looks-too-good-to-be-true
some points worth reading into
>procedurally generated city
city entirely isnt procedurally generated, but objects such as buildings, street lamps and traffic lights that dont need any creative work, but could still require huge workload are
creative work seems to be reserved for points of interests such as shops, unique landmarks, places of importance, etc
>mini-games
there are plans on adding lots of mini-games (and activities) to the game
the gameplay will be divided into two parts: story and casual
when not doing any story content (playing as an investigator), you can do other activities (pretty much gta)
>comparisons to genshin
while both are open world anime-styled games, mugen is urban themed and has activities in the world such as watching live shows, visiting cafes, playing arcade games, ride ferris wheel, etc
>traversal
movement does not require stamina
there is focus on freedom of movement, utilization of multiple modes of transport such as running, riding vehicles, swinging, grappling, wall running, swimming, etc
they plan to explore more movement options
some characters have special traversal options such as taffy, who uses her hammer weapon as a vehicle
(jetpacks, skateboards were also discussed in another interview)
>combat
team of 4 characters, each character has different attributes which may synergize with each other
each team can also equip a special ability, such as crowd control, telekinesis buffs, etc
>open world
first city is called "nova inception urbs", influenced by east asian culture
it will have 10 locales, which can be seamlessly explored by the players
beach, shopping street, industrial district, amusement park, public parks, and more will be featured
more cities will be added in the future, influenced by european and american cultures
>monetization
currently, no monetization module has been decided
>release date
game is still in development, the developers will let players know when the game is ready for release
>has activities in the world such as watching live shows, visiting cafes, playing arcade games, ride ferris wheel, etc
>movement does not require stamina
I think so far those are the most important things to look at, especially if you want to compare it to other games in the market
yeah, that specifically has piqued my interest
you dont see games like this often, especially not a gacha game
world building also matters a lot in open world games, and so far, these people are way ahead on the right track
now the only thing i want is character customization for the main character, but its not a big deal to me even if it doesnt make it, the game can still be a lot of fun and the character designs are appealing
MC character customization would be great and it seems like a mistake for games like this to ignore it. People pay out the ass for stuff like that.
https://twitter.com/Wuthering_Waves/status/1714219706280808927
More gay shilling.
yeah, its looking shit
not even a bit interested
>we have zhongli at home
I really hope this doesn't turn into a fujofest like homoverse games
I honestly don't see the point of focusing on advertising males when Yangyang is our Paimon.
New one
thats just warframe
these designs are so dull and monotonous
the world itself feels lifeless too
Combat system sounds better than the usual one character one weapon type plus schizo swap but holy shit the art direction sucks ass, they tried to cram as many shit on the characters as possible.
>male
dropped
Good to see someone else attempting anime shooters in this day and age but some of those character designs just look awful.
Fujothering gay waves
Maybe we'll get some Endfield news
https://twitter.com/AKEndfield/status/1717013110534651905
what's arknights about?
chinese wank and LOTS of pointless text
oh
nevermind then
https://endfield.hypergryph.global/en
More Endfield stuff
Gameplay looks like Xenoblade with base building elements.
I used to love Arknights but the story burned me out and it was so devoid of fan service + I'm a luck sack so I was sitting on resources not really looking forward to anyone.
At one point I just skipped all the story, frick reading all that pointless rambling about some deep ideology bullshit.
I just hope they won't get the same moron to write the story this time.
it seems they censored the horn girl, her breasts were bigger before
I don't like the future theme these games keep having. They're filled with vague technology objects/random Gundam towers no one recognizes. In a fantasy game, you see a windmill and you recognize it and know what it does.
https://www.gamerbraves.com/zenless-zone-zero-and-wuthering-waves-get-china-license-signaling-release-date-announcement/
News WW got approved so I guess this means the game will be releasing sooner than later.
I don't know when it's going to release but I know it's not going to be ready.
They kinda have to get it out before even more open world games saturate the market, whenever it's ready or not.
The license can also expire so they have to release it regardless unless they wanna go through the whole shitshow of getting approved again.
Personally don't see any reason to play WW now.
yeah
they really should have rushed that shit out
it looks bland, unimpressive, uninspired, character designs are mediocre, combat gameplay looks very tedious
if they really wanted to chase that genshit demographic, they should have hurried the frick up and released it long ago
this new thing already looks better, still not as interesting as mugen, but the quest sequences and features/mechanics look way more interesting than any of the crap shown in wuthering waves trailers and footage
New open world
with this dropping in the market, wuthering waves is really going to struggle
the city area looks neat, not too lively but still interesting enough to explore with vehicles
the area before it was just mediocre
also lmao @ that fuse mechanic from zelda
That's why I said they should add vehicles. The Digimon are neat but not a definitive solution for traversal imo.
What the frick are you Black folk smoking, that looked just as bland as wuwa and the combat looked worse.
It has the "use the monsters you defeat" mechanic from WW and the GTA cars from Mugen, but Mugen has much more going for it than that, meanwhile WW does not, that was the only thing that still looked interesting to me and now someone else is already doing it and may even release first. Oh yeah and this doesn't have the Genshin hair which is another plus.
>they really should have rushed that shit out
True, now that Mugen, Endfield and this were revealed, there are too many better options than that poor Genshin copy, it'll flop harder than ToF.
it will probably get some buzz during launch but the numbers are bound to drop hard
there's simply nothing exciting in ww, even the character designs are crap
I highly doubt it'll come out before WW. It looks pretty rough.
>It looks pretty rough.
Looking rough is not a big deal if they listen to feedback and fix the bugs that interfere with gameplay unlike ToF and even ToF still has a loyal fanbase.
If they want a piece of the pie they need to release it as soon as possible. WW likely won't affect them, but if they release this after Mugen they're dead.
Not really the fan of the character designs, they should have more modern clothing instead of another generic looking wuxia stuff since they clash badly with the modern open world.
That video cut some parts, here's the full gameplay:
This shit looks like one of those quality Android games that flood the google play store.
this really is just slightly reskinned genshit huh
Their site has a couple of Q&As. It's interesting that npcs will use an in-house AI for their behavior and there'll be a gravity reversal mechanic in addition to mechanics shown in the 20 min trailer. Not sure if it'll be tied to one of the notStands though.
>Idle battlers usually have fantastic character designs, but the "gameplay" literally plays itself, so all you do is just collect jpegs and watch a screen you have no interaction with
>open world games give some semblance of fun and engaging gameplay, but the character designs are so universally awful that there's no desire to even get said characters or play as them
This shit really bothers me more and more lately. We need a non-China developer to step up and make an open world gacha game already..
>>open world games give some semblance of fun and engaging gameplay
Thats where I know you completly lost it. All this gacha shit was never supposed to be full fledged games, only time wasters or side games. The "fun and engaging" gameplay you speak of does not fricking exist. Unless you really consider character switching and mashing your head against 2 skill buttons to be engaging
Nta but fun is subjective, as for engaging, all gachas are supposed to be engaging since they want you to feel attached to the game and spend money on it, whether one is engaging to you or not though will depend on each person.
just wait for project mugen and roco kingdom
still no confirmation whether they are gachas, but these are genuinely the only two open world games that are doing the character designs right
although roco is a monster collector, the character designs are also very charming
plus both look promising in terms of variety of content to enjoy in an open world setting
project mugen devs have already made it clear they want their game to have variety of side activities and content besides the main story, and in my opinion, this should be a mandatory requirement for all open world games because it adds a lot of life to the open world and builds upon the world's setting
roco kingdom on the other hand is an open world monster collector, so rest assured you will never be tired of finding unique or rare species in different areas, making the open world exploration worth it
Speaking of games exclusively for hetero men I got high expectations for Nornium

https://twitter.com/zhuore000/status/1719579178293674365
God bless scorching bro.
Any news on testing or release?
Looks like a better WuWu.
Nornium is still in early development. Don't expect another test until next year.
Well, the game does look good. I remember bits of lore from their taptap, quite unique.
news?
none
Arknights Endfield has begun its beta test
Honestly no very impressed. Gameplay seems even more braindead than Genshin not to mention the omnipandering crap.
i still dont think mugen will be competing against any hoyo game, not even zzz
zzz seems close to release while mugen seems pretty early in development
by the time mugen releases, most people will either be in the daily grind phase of typical hoyo games in zzz or already dropped zzz
More character info
https://twitter.com/Wuthering_Waves/status/1724728954173493719
And trailer.
The game finally has some colours, girl is still flat as a board and the fighting still looks all style no weight.
May as well be a guy with that kind of design.
>anon's idea of male character design is one with booty shorts
let me guess, genshin player?
Not really a genshin fault for that design. Arknight is the game that popularize that design in current gatcha trend.
Beside oujikei is Japanese male fashion as well
the colors are an improvement
the setting feels ok, the scifi stuff is better than the chinkshit
obviously not gonna play this since the playable characters fall into the latter category which i am already burnt out of
Looks like the new build with the redesigns and changes is playable at g-star. So far kuro seems to be removing the censorship and upping the sex appeal. The female MC no longer has the jarring under shirt they added for CBT1 to hide the side boob, and they changed her outfit a bit to show more thigh. Not to mention they made her bottom half thicker. Now I really want to see what they're gonna do about the titty monster.
There's also a full body of bailian's redesign. She looks pretty good now but her familiar still looks dumb. Looks like an inflatable pool toy or something.
>no panties
yawn
>post apocalyptic setting
>chinaslop characters
yawn
>chinaslop characters
bro it's gacha
and?
what's the correlation?
why not try something new and eye-catching instead of copying shitty trends from some other company?
Big improvements overall. Still, there's a lot of work to be done with the remaining girls.
They also made fem MC's bust bigger. Kuro isn't fricking around anymore I guess.
They still haven't touched the really dogshit designs, but I'm hopeful based on what they've been doing.
The bulk of the characters are 4*s so they'll likely get new outfits as we get 5* variants assuming they handle characters like PGR. Fixing the bust sizes was always the bigger battle as that can't be fix with alts, that said I am in full agreement that the females as they are need more work as far outfit go but at least they are undoing the censorship and starting to focus on sex appeal.
I like this. Also dem thighs.

Hope we get more gameplay footage soon
any changes to mc? i'm only interested in playing as a man. though i think he's cool as is, asking as a curiosity.
He looks virtually the same
seems like they added the bandages to the blade wielding arm
screams edgekino to me. i'm looking forward to it. looks like it's custom made for a dark setting enjoyer like myself.
I can already tell the script is going to make playing this game painful. Almost everything I've read has triggered my 'I could've worded that much better' response.
new Seven Deadly Sins Origin trailer
this is so much better
the clothing is simple which i prefer over the overdesigned aislop that is plaguing certain gachas
the character designs are great
the mount system is already a plus
i wonder if the ship is actually controllable or just a cutscene
there's more footage
at least one cosmetic is shown to be obtainable by playing through the story
running doesn't seem to consume stamina, but dashing does
only 4 weapon types
don't know how to feel about the game, looks fun, has some refreshing stuff like simple clothing, character designs and mounts, but the game itself feels pretty boring
Looks interesting, it's very obviously a Genshin clone. If they can keep the fan service in they'll already have an advantage. The biggest downside for me would be the IP itself since they can't do anything interesting with it and the manga sucks anyway.
>3 characters that use a black/grey/white color palette
At least their designs are decent.
Sanhua and Danjin still need several adjustments to their designs imo
And here I tought Mihoyo had shit character designs
what a boring roster
changs really dont have even a sliver of creativity
Will it actually hurt ding dong dais to look elsewhere but themselves for material ? Last decade western games or asiatic/nip gachas can provide more creativity than this.
Mihoyo is a blight on chyna gaming industry.
I mean looking at the characters names I think the first area IS supposed to be not-China
thats one reason i am definitely not touching chinkering waves
holy shit these people genuinely dont know anything but wanking off their country and culture
even the japs dont do this shit in every game like insecure morons
The worst thing is there are a lot of good Medieval Chinese designs and costumes those chink chonk designers could use. They are one of the oldest civilization to exist till modern for frick sake.
Instead, they all opt to use the same Neo-modernized Wuzxia/Xianxia costume that looks gaudy as shit.
They use what's popular with Chinese. I mean, when I looked at chinese anime, a lot of characters wore something close
what i consider amusing is that even the changs themselves dont wear clothes like these or grow their hair out like a woman
how pathetic it must be to push an already dead culture to the rest of the world
so many cool character designs littered all over the internet and the changs simply cant stop creating chink ai slop character #836252736
>cool character designs
pic unrelated?
Forgot to post this
looks interesting but the character roster seems very limited
That's probably Crunchyroll's fault
>Furina saved Genshin
sigh, I wanted it to die
Gotta wait for the next big thing even if something over takes it in the east, westerners will cling to it like they did with dragalia.
i actually dont want genshit to die so that their moronic fanbase stays contained in that shit game
i especially dont want genshitters in the generals of any of these upcoming game, chances are low since they are gonna pop up to shitpost about sales anyway, but hopefully the regular posters arent hoyodickriders
Archons seem to carry that game in a way, don't they? Inazuma and Sumeru were both shitshows storywise, with the mere existence of Raiden Ei and Nahida being their only redeeming factors
>with the mere existence of Raiden Ei
She wasn't the worst part of Inazuma's story only because Kokomi exists.
Project mugen is the only one that looks good
Wuthering Waves is probably releasing Q1 next year
Not if another CBT will happen in Q1, it'll release at Q2 at earliest.
Now zzz is removed from my wait list.
eh, i was skeptical about that game anyway
glad they confirmed before release it's another shittoyo slop with censored females, homosexual "males", chinkwank and all that lazy stingy stuff that plagues every single one of their games despite making millions of $$$ per month
mugen looks way more promising
A turn of events that's surprising to absolutely no one.
To the surprise of literally no one with half a brain
Looks like they improved her design
Nah you're just a fricking moron
>get a higher age rating, one would assume they can do whatever they want
>still censor the game anyway
So what's the point of the new age rating if they're doing nothing with it, making the characters drop swears like they're sentence enhancers?
Now would be a good time for kuro of reveal taoqi's new (old) design for wuthering waves that returns her to her former glory.
Even better, improve her design and make her cleavage bigger.
taoqi is not in gstar. I want to assume she getting bailian kind of rework.
>the character that interest me have purple line
Ah damn, the purple line is equivalent to genshin 4* right?
of course they are, did you think kusogame could be assed to change the rarity colors?
The bulk of the characters besides the green fujobait are 4*s.
The electric red haired girl (Danjin's sister) is also supposed to be a 5*
Hopefully they hired porn artists to improve the designs. Encore's e-girl dress is boring so I hope they replace it for something better and sexier. They also REALLY need to touch Chixia again.
looking at this image I really they add way more body types to WuWa
>the MC is orange tier
interdasting
>warframe movement and abilities
looks interesting
Is there a list + pic of WuWa 5* characters?
The two 5*s on the right should count as one since it's the player character.
How come WW manages to make girls even uglier than Genshin's?
Everyone looks like a blowup sex doll with only two expressions 😀 and o_o
what do you mean?
It's some anti-coom schizo or a Hoyo antishill, maybe both. Either way they've flooded the board ever since the latest ZZZ CBT started. Just ignore them
>ever since the latest ZZZ CBT started
Yeah, let's pretend the designs weren't always garbage and only recently people spoke up about them.
Pretty sure nobody ever called these designs "blowup sex doll" before that post but keep being a schizoid Black.
>Pretty sure nobody ever called these designs "blowup sex doll" before that post
Same.
I've seen plenty of people call the designs bad because they were, and still are in a lot of cases, but that was the first time I saw anyone call anything in wuwa a blowup doll.
In fact,
I'll circle all the characters that desperately need a redesign.
Here are mine. Encore and Taoqi still need improvements though.
If we're talking about ones that still need improvements, here are my picks. Taoqi and encore are just boring, though at least taoqi has her big breasts.
Chixia is too absurdly asymmetrical. It looks like she's wearing a bunch of scraps that make no sense in how they hold together.
Alto looks alright but the flappy bits are too similar to danjin's.
>Chixia is too absurdly asymmetrical. It looks like she's wearing a bunch of scraps that make no sense in how they hold together.
Chixia looks like a hobo with so much shit hanging from her clothes. It needs a full redesign imo, as well as the hair. I say this art which I thought it could've implied that but apparently it's just fan art.
its weird since it was this very thread where a kusogame fanboy was trying to argue his shitty e-girl in a grey skinsuit was a good design
Oh hey the homosexual is back
aww you still here shill? I tought you might have ended yourself after people told you to frick off last time
It's grim fantasy, anon. The characters are either have dark past or have dark past but act like they coped with it.
That emphasis on rarities by adding backgrounds to 5 stars, kek. 1344825 is right on expressions at least. Static postures along with nondescript faces does not entice one to roll. You can swap the back grounds and tell that 4 star is a 5 star, nobody will be the wiser.
This is not the final product i take it ?
They should have upgraded Taoqi to 5*
Tower of Fantasy is apparently being remade
What's a bald head list? Also is there actual hope for this? I liked the mmo aspect but dropped off after their big update because of how shit my favourite weapon was compared to all the new stuff.
>Also is there actual hope for this?
No, altough ToF has some nice stuff to it, its the mmo nature that holds it back. The game also has tons of, what can only be described as jank in how it plays
>What's a bald head list?
probably mistranslation
>Also is there actual hope for this?
Not if they keep it as a MMO
i am not gonna lie, if they actually listen to the fricking complaints of this game and do something about the intensive mmo grind thing, they might be able to salvage the game
the game really has potential, but it's the gacha + mmo model that holds it back
Which one is the most furry bait?
Wake me up when Infinity Nikki gets an update
WuWa CBT2 soon apparently
Turn the bland black leotard like outfit the red hair 5 star girl has into a hot fanservice leotard and her design can insantly shoot up to one of the best. Taoqi is fine but whatever she looks like now better reverted the shit changes they did and doesn't censor her in any way
>hot fanservice leotard
Post examples please
I haven't really been playing any gachashit since I quit Genshin and NIKKE at the beginning of the year. Are there any major high quality kusoge coming out soon? I remember Wuthering Waves and Girls Frontline 2 being hyped. Anything else new mentioned since then? Which future kusoge look to have the sexiest waifu?
>Which future kusoge look to have the sexiest waifu?
bruh that looks like cheap goyslop from what i've seen on youtube. is it even open world?
>cheap goyslop
What do you think open worlds are?
It's got high quality and sexy 3D girls which is already way more than what you see in most gachas, not to mention indie so no risk of random censorship.
we won
Left is old and right is new, right? If so they made him smaller and reduced his muscles, why? They didn't even remove the moronic genshin split hair, they just keep giving me reasons to not want to play this garbage instead.
WuWa is an omnipandering game and male characters are supposed to appeal to women in this game. Are you telling me you are a woman, anon?
No, I'm a gay so obviously males appeal to me.
It may be the change in the clothes that give that impression, but his legs, arms and shoulders look smaller.
Women don't like the same thing as gays. You can ask any weeb girl who their favorite male character is and 100% of the answers will be twinks.
>uncultured e-girl
ftfy
>they made him smaller and reduced his muscles
I can't tell a different in his actual build. Make an overlay image for me.
>Removing unnecessary belts
>Adding unnecessary bandages
>Still keep that stupid flappy hair split
Goddamn, this game design just went all over the place.
Show me 3D model, then we'll talk
I'd remove this
for me it's these.

roco kingdom news
so, seems like they implemented fan favorite features from pokemon like the overworld encounters, ride mons, ability to sneak and overworld behaviors including the ones from legends arceus where certain wild mons can attack the player character
other notable observations: seamless overworld transitions when riding mons, multiple types of ride options for each type of traversal (can ride many different kinds of mons on land, multiple avian mons seen carrying the player), when starting battles with a group of mons they all take part in the battle, "weather" or "temperature" system?, ability to climb like botw/genshin, physical based moves MAKE CONTACT with the opposing mon
another really great observation: monsters interact with each other in the overworld
i noticed playing through scarlet (on my pc) that there is seemingly no interactivity between the monsters roaming in the overworld, but here, it looks like they do
Hey that looks pretty nice. Didn't know it actually was a Pokemon clone, it's gonna be difficult for them to market it. Pokegays aren't gonna bother since they only care about the IP, not the quality of the games. We'll see.
Eonder how they'll monetize it.
yeah, doesnt seem it will be gacha since monsters can be battled and captured in the overworld much like pokemon
i am assuming it will be monetized through passes or cosmetics for the player and the monsters themselves, or maybe it could even be a $60 game or something
They could monetize Moves if that even a thing there
It doesn't have to attract pokegays, it's gonna be popular in China and that's enough to ensure it's survival, if it ends up being a good monster collecting game on top of that then great for anyone who wants a good game.

around 70-80% of the game's development has been completed, the story and gameplay still need some optimization
about 240 elves (equivalent of pokemon) have been fully implemented in 3d so far, there are 18 types just like pokemon
the home system (probably similar to genshin's teapot), battle system and magic academy are still in development
online testing will begin next year
still no details on the monetization model, but it definitely doesnt seem to be gacha, there could be some other monetization such as passes and cosmetics similar to fortnite
I looked through all the trailers I now I'm 100% convinced.
It is Mihoyo and Mihoyo specifically who's into shota boys and females wearing burkas.
That's why we need the competition to catch up, hopefully someone fully pandering to straight white males.
If only most of the competition weren't located in China, where it's pretty clear coomers aren't the ones in charge of making Hoyoclones.
>inb4 Nornium
that's a mecha musume game, it's not ripping off anything Hoyo's ever made
But coomers are in charge of making them, it's just the publishing/regulating side ruining it every time. Every Chinese game has all of the coom removed between beta and release, the devs obviously wanted to put coomer stuff in but are forced to remove it every time.
I dunno man, I've always been of the impression that most chinks take after the likes of Hypergrpyh and whoever made R1999: in other words, they're more autistic than horny. Doesn't help that all the upcoming Genshin clones made in china look to be as sexless (if not even more so) as the original
Arkek popularized the "Modern streetwear" style that mixed fabric with plastic, or regal old-school decor with modern techno wear and cut like some contemporary art. Also, the cause of "My game is better because girls did not need to prostitute themselves out for fan service, OMG is that a shirtless, barechested male character", OMG diversity cast.
They just don't want the hassle from managing different game versions and later, dealing with chink jealousy.
It's unfortunate but I doubt we will ever see an open world gacha with Taimanin-tier designs.
those project mugen trailers are such obvious bullshots trailers that aren't actually real gameplay that I don't understand how anyone is falling for it
Nah, if anything they look more like vertical slices.
>chud struggles with the cognitiive dissonance of realizing that sex does, in fact, not sell
>cognitiive dissonance
Using a word that you don't understand doesn't make you sound smart.

Guess what
They're really going forward with that design, huh?
I mean I'm not a woman so I can't complain, but damn they really like this crap?
Very interesting
What about girls with cleavages and pantsus?
wuwa isn't going to have coombait. Look elsewhere.
any suggestions?
If you kept up with the thread some of the girls have gotten a tad bit sexier like Yangyang losing her tit bangages and Bailian having a cleavage window, however in terms of coom don't expect WW to have more than PGR.
If you want true nikke/azur lane tier coom
PGR has some fairly sexy skins fortunately
Such as..?
The one I posted. If you don't like that you'll be labeled a subhuman and your opinion will be rightfully ignored.
I heard this chick got powercrept by an edgelord
yeah but apparently she's getting another frame in the future
Power creep another power creep. Then what is the point of buying her skin then? It costs at least 30 USD and up to 60 USD for skin in PGR, not to mention some even locked behind gatcha.
that's not a skin
Yeah, it's shit.
Just because pgr has some nice designs doesn't mean wuwa is going to be the same. Just look how long it's taken them to redesign two(2) characters to just look decent. Or how they've apparently decided fedora man's design is good enough to leave as is and not utter fricking dogshit.
I will keep sending feedback until Encore is Fate-tier of bawdtiness
sudden mugen doomposting after hoyoslop confirmed trash
where is zenless zone zero general? both /vg/ and /vmg/ die
everyone realized it is another shittoyo slop
This. The hype died the moment people realized it was another uninteresting censorfest. Still I expect it to make a lot of money because unfortunately NPCs also play vidya.
There's just nothing to talk about other than endless b***hing. The game will probably be mentioned today at Game Awards but it's guaranteed to be nothing, probably just a one-minute trailer that shows things we've already seen. It's better to forget about it until they announce the launch date half a year from now.
>ZZZ release soon 2024
>"""soon"""
Yep, see you guys in June
I expect it to come out sooner, around April or March
If they aren't gonna add anything substantial again (like another game mode and new characters) then yeah maybe around April 2024, which means patching it up with just some QoL changes and shipping mostly as it is now.
news?
I'll make another thread once this one dies out. Feel free to post images to use in the next OP.

can't be bothered to find the link
nornium is open world?
I don't know. I just brought it up because there was a discussion about it.
No, It seems to have a hub like Mass Effect's Citadel.

Looks like this girl will be playable but I doubt her age will survive in the final game. Btw I'm unable to make the next thread, must be the domain change.
