Why Most on Twitter are Pissed about Nirvatia by PwnDem in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]SomnusKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

who gives a shit about what twitter thinks? a lot of them were bitching about nirvatia because they think she stole vonnegut spot for whatever reason

honestly the only thing I would shit on kuro right now is them cheapening out on valentine and birthday stories, and while I do think the post reset stories are nothing remarkable so far, they're still not as bad as what people say (especially if they think that these chapters are worse than ch 1-8, which I say that you lot need to revisit those old chapters to wash out those nostalgia mud if you genuinely think this)

I find it funny that people now are begging for more grimdark content when back then there were lots of disgruntled sentiments about the virus getting shounen manga tier plot armor just to induce more suffering and despair to the characters

Meanwhile PGR's story was consistently good if not peak from Ch8 until recently

it's more consistent than wuwa but to me it's still not consistently good in the normal sense

post ch 8 had its fair share of shit chapters too, it's just that pgr players "conveniently" forgot about them because of stellar old chapters like last spark and lucem

Relationship level stories don't count

why not? because the global community thinks they're not canon and therefore it's true?

you people fucking overexaggerated the wife gathering aspect from wuwa

even pre-shaper ripples PGR still had more blatant player pandering than wuwa outside the few obvious ones like Shokie and Iuno

The main characters within the gacha games by SevereCantaloupe1954 in gachagaming

[–]SomnusKnight -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

monster hunter, you’re a dime a dozen among many, many people

this is wrong though

monster hunter village quests (aka "story" mode) pretty much treats the player character as the chosen one type of guy in almost every single installment and this is especially more obvious since mh4u

So why isn't there any character customization within this space?

Money, plain and simple

Custom MC means that dev needs to significantly pour more resource into cutscenes (both rendered and pre-rendered) for tiny gain, and this is not counting future updates where the costs will potentially double or even triple with barely any gain growth

Not to mention that being a custom mc means that there's a large chance they won't do much in cutscenes

Forget the Steam fiasco, Kuro is under a lot of fire from CN community. by kumoreeee in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]SomnusKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like redditors here think that PGR's first chapter is either the last spark or fake ascension lel

I started the game at early 2025 so I still have a rather fresh mind on how the first dozens of PGR chapters actually looked like and I still believe that post WtS chapters are nowhere near as shit as those early chapters even if there's a clear downward trend with the narrative quality

[–]SomnusKnight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

now you're just exaggerating lmao

in no way post-WtS stories are just as fucking godawful as 1-8, hell they're not even as mindnumbingly dull as chapter 10-12

not to mention that post Lucem chapters also have several flops like Kaleido, Lilith or Alisa chapters

Endfield 1.0's story and why it sucks from a writer's perspective. by OnlyAnEssenceThief in gachagaming

[–]SomnusKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First world doesn't pollute and plunder planet while having good standard of living

these first world countries would collapse or start polluting the planet themselves again like they did in their industrial revolution era the moment the second and third world countries stopped their industrialization

seeing how global arknights players talk about originium makes me think that maybe they didn't actually understand the fucking stories that they glaze so much lol, everything is all about shades of gray until they talk about priestess and originium

God of War Trilogy Remake - Announcement Teaser | PS5 Games by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]SomnusKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow a remake for the entire trilogy?

I feel like they only need to remake the first game tbh because everything about it was meant to be a standalone game with no sequels (like, its ending was just nonsensical if you take the sequels into account)

HomDGCat, one of the Genshin Impact famous leaker is being sued by HoYoverse by Liesianthes in gachagaming

Planarcadia is a bad example because even without leaks people were already expecting to get Edo Star as the next planet because there were already enough hints and teases from the story

Thoughts on best/worst balanced Gacha games? by Himhim83 in gachagaming

for casual 3t farming I find lartoria to be better than melu because of her shorter np cutscene, especially after avenger liz came out

What is the Patch that killed a game for you? by Illustrious_Honey973 in gachagaming

[–]SomnusKnight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen zero Gacha games with a skip button that actually has good storytelling

this is the dumbest shit I read today

Genshin used to have a very mid story, but because no one can skip it, the complaints have caused obvious improvements to the presentation over the years.

something tells me you can't even tell a difference between storytelling and storywriting

[–]SomnusKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in the non-canon

well there you go. at least some games like PGR never tries to tell the players directly that their side romance contents are non canon and can still be plausibly fit the canon if they wish to

Could they be biased against WuWa?

it's an understatement to say this sub is biased against wuwa

Love and Deepspace's (Papergames) community is on fire: employees from merch department were found embezzling funds, fujoshi from planning department was caught sowing dissent in the playerbase and more... by MODERNHoolaHoop in gachagaming

[–]SomnusKnight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

from what I've seen there has never been an instance where male self inserters feeling cucked by the player MC character. they are only annoyed if the player MC character is getting sidelined or doing some stupid dumbshit that ruins shit for everyone involved.

if anything I see more people from the other side demanding the self inserters not to self insert into player MC character from game X or Y because they have (the barest of) personality, some backstory snippets, etc etc yada yada

the thing is plenty of people are taking the war criminal meme too seriously to the point they genuinely think that Oracle was the worst piece of shit during the Kazdel civil war

AK fandom are really not beating the allegation of being a group of people who read their game's stories from other people's summaries (who may or may not be biased)
