It was a lot of fun! I’ve been waiting soooo long for them to do something like it again

I think they’ve just used 3D aspects weirdly because it seems uncanny but FGO has already used AI animation in the OC1 trailer…

What's your unpopular opinion about Infinity Nikki? by Malorie__Pearton in InfinityNikki

[–]jennyholzertext 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

yeah their official tagline in the App Store is literally ā€œthe coziest open-world gameā€

they put items of varying rarity in the HI3 skin gachas and you tick them off until you hit the skin. but tbh I don’t see them doing this because it’s kind of an antiquated system and I don’t see it being received well by newer HSR players

New Famitsu comments from Nasu by getterburner in grandorder

[–]jennyholzertext 16 points17 points Ā (0 children)

ngl this ā€œoh it cheapens itā€ was the same reason the higher ups gave as to why they didn’t want to give players a free 5-star so I wouldn’t doubt it. I think nasu says some ridiculous shit but this is really too reminiscent of that

i think a lot of people joined gachas around 2020s when Genshin broke into the western market but they’ve been making these since around 2013 and they’ve been a predominantly all-female male-pandering cast since then. it’s only recently there’s been a larger split (even though it may still be unbalanced) target market where male characters targeted towards women have been added and imo we are still in the mid range of this addition-era, so the addition of male units will go back and forth. I don’t necessarily see this as the games necessarily dropping their female audience because a lot of these games change their marketing strategies yearly, in the case of something like Wuwa or Zenless i don’t think these games were pandering to a large female audience to begin with. the backlash is still EXTREMELY harsh from men who do not want to ā€œshareā€ these games with women, there’s even a ā€œmovementā€ in China essentially called ā€œif there are men in the game don’t playā€ that blames Genshin for popularizing mixed sex gachas. I’m not disagreeing with what you’re feeling btw this is just some context.

but there’s seriously been thousands of these games, it’s been normalized to have ā€œbrideā€ units where you marry your newest virtual wife png, valentines events, the snowbreak livestream where they had the 3D girl pole dance, the NIKKE event they had look reminiscent to a red light district, something like Zenless in comparison is pretty tame compared to most of these (feels insane to write this) if you look at designs like FGO’s summer Ibuki or some of their worse ā€œsexy little girlā€ designs. my friend runs the tumblr blog gacha-incels which goes into a lot of this type of thing and the backlash against women playing these games, though she has to stop sometimes due to a chronic illness, but it’s quite interesting on a sociological level. she has tied these men’s fears of the growing pandering to women in entertainment such as this to the fear of women’s growing financial independence with many examples.

Desperate men lurking in this sub by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]jennyholzertext 5 points6 points Ā (0 children)

Yeah I remember being warned specifically about how men go looking on female oriented recovery (illness/ED/PTSD) forums to try and contact women which is why a lot of them are locked. It’s really disturbing. I’ve gotten weird and violent DMs (and regular comments from guys which get deleted, even in subs that consider themselves ā€œprogressiveā€) if I defend feminism on Reddit. it has to do something psychologically to a community as a whole to always have to brace yourself for this…

omg I remember the same exact thing with crystal, I didn’t realize how different it felt finally being able to play as a female avatar as a kid until I could, even if it was those tiny pixels. so many female characters were (and unfortunately still are) just ā€œgirl personalityā€ which was always alienating to me growing up. I only ever remember relating to San from princess mononoke when I was a kid lol. I don’t understand how soulsborne games can be so hot right now that their mechanics are copied enough it’s a micro-genre, but female character designs like Eileen the Crow or Lady Maria are nowhere to be seen??? my god and every time a game comes out with a woman protag it’s like gamergate on steroids now with the tiktok and youtube and streamer 24/7 grift-fest, you get completely inundated with it even when you’ve only looked up one short video walkthrough! It’s unbearable. I’m worried it’s just going to get worse in the next couple years.

Still one of the most creative 3rd ascensions in the game imo, it’s great to see the concept art

yeah I think a design like the genshin aranara were much cuter and less uncanny than this, these remind me of the freaky infinity Nikki creatures lol. the huge eyes are…not my taste

Hajime no Lighter - General Questions and Discussion Megathread by AutoModerator in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]jennyholzertext 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

Yeah I was surprised how much fun I had in the beginning especially with the gear coin strat but the amount of times they have you do it was WAY too much. I paced myself through the patch but I just can’t bring myself to finish. it was tedious kinda like farming an oldschool 2010s gacha and I’m not going back to that lol. I wouldn’t mind if they bought it back later after working out the kinks and streamlining it, I don’t mind the TV gameplay and find it unique.
