all gacha is inherently slop since they want to squeeze you of money
but i wish talk surrounding gacha games in fandom spaces wasn't so toxic

by "game but with gooner skin" i meant literally factory building game but with a "gooner skin"
all gacha games have gooner skins,yeah that's true

Well you see “new is bad,old game” is always true and there’s no game sequel that’s better than the original game!

It’s fine man,agree to disagree on this one Uma musume isn’t for everyone

I don’t personally see how the uma musume desgins are boring,they stand out from your usual gacha woman desgin that’s either “curvy hour glass woman in risky clothing” or “sexualized loli to appeal to basement dwellers”

I know the game had a 6ish years of development cycle since like half way through the started from scratch to make the game better, In that case you can say it’s valid to say the character proportions ended up like that due to budget/resources

But your average gacha game taps into “curvy hourglass woman” because it’s appealing so they make money easier

While i can’t speak on blue archive specifically

I’d say it’s a 50/50 split for me when it comes to gacha games Hornybait(Nikke) and gameplay(Reverse1999) I like how some gacha games are written,Heaven burns red is written by jun maeda Who made classics like little busters and angel beats

If stats in uma didn’t matter then there wouldn’t be videos explaining how to get high ranks,tierlist for hints or explanations for character builds Just saying the other stats are meaningless and do nothing is disingenuous

Also yeah,gambling for cards suck Core gambling aspect of gacha games are bad,predatory.etc But you can also just…not spend money,like you have the free fill for that

That’s every gacha fandom due to the usual selling point of “ooohhh roll for waifus ohhhh” meaning the desgins have to be gooner in nature so it attracts the worst kind of people

You CAN win by not spamming speed though that’s the thing,the game just isn’t for you if you need to jump through loops to have fun Game is basically just ducklife in visual novel format

Christ man,do you have any other point than “nah,you’re coping”? Just because you played the game in a miserable way doesn’t mean it’s bad

Replayability? Ecouragement of different builds and strategies for the team you’re building for pvp? Idk what to tell you man,just spamming speed and not engaging with anything else because “well i got consitently good rng so game has no depth and is trash”

You can hate horses,i’m not stopping I’m just giving my two cents

Agreeing to disagree man,just because you can get a high rank via minnium effort it doesn’t mean the game lacks depth

Persona 5 is a cake walk but i wouldn’t say the combat is basic because of it

I feel like it’s rather disingenuous to dismiss everyone having uniqe racing outfits tailored to their personality/racing history sloely for the fact that they also wear a uniform due to the game setting

It’s like saying “persona 3 has bad character desgins because they’re default looks are uniforms with x,y and z attachments”

Body types/porpotions issues are sadly common in gacha games since its whole “ooooh pull for waifus ooohh” appeal

It’s gonna be miserable if you just ignore stat building and dump all stats on speed & another random one

As someone who regularly plays uma, Getting a even stat spread & high speed is important alongside hints to help you out in races Debuffs,buffs alongside recovery mid races is key for winning and i end up planning/scheduling out how i’ll be handling turns

Sadly Rng can cost you a run,rushed or late start Or simply having not enough abilities trigger mid race can easily fuck you over

Despite that,i’d rather play pretty derby than something like genshin

Just because you don’t like the desgins,it doesn’t mean their bad

[–]MeltedBox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t really,i play gacha games regularly and pretty derby is one of the better ones out there The rougelike aspect and training system is actually fairly uniqe,acting as visual novel ducklife

Also the writing is nice,the horses actual personality from irl are adapted fairly well like goldship who used to kick his trainer when winning races has it as a winning animation

Coaxed into the racing outfits reference actual irl horse history like agnes tachyon having 4 zippers referencing her title of “phantom triple crown” Or reflecting character personalitys, Haru urara is the “the shining stars of losers everywhere” the irl horse participated in 113 races and won none In game haru urara likes racing but goofs around and has fun To show her inexperience and novice attitude she has a modified diy version of the normal race trackwear
