@wgiwf @theorytoe @beardalaxy @EdBoatConnoisseur people said the same about Genshin's cast and yet I fail to see people say the same now that a new set of faces have gone by

@bleedingphoenix @wgiwf @theorytoe @beardalaxy @EdBoatConnoisseur I'm kind of surprised that Cipher or Tingyun/Fugue from HSR didn't get nominated.

@wgiwf @theorytoe @beardalaxy @EdBoatConnoisseur @bleedingphoenix Yuna spending the entire sequel thirsting after the worst Final Fantasy protagonist in history didn't do her any favors.

Riku best FFX grill

@wgiwf @theorytoe @beardalaxy @EdBoatConnoisseur @bleedingphoenix i do consider there's quite a bit of envy coming from the people who try to disqualify the girls with the "it's a gacha" excuse.

there's games like the drakenguard series which gameplay wise arepretty fucking bad but people still like them for the story/narrative.

same could be said about a LOT of rpgs, they may not be the most engaging or shinning examples when it comes to the gameplay aspect but they make up for it with other things like story, music, characters, etc.

i remember when i was playing dq11, the story is fun, i liked the characters but 90% of the fights in that game were a breeze and you could barely call it a game with how easy it was outside some bossfights yet i would not disqualify dq11 as a game because it still has that gameplay aspect

same goes for a lot of these gachas

There's absolutely no sense in pretending anyone likes 2B because of the atrocious emotionally-manipulative plot of her mediocre game but because of her character design.

A2 is cuter anyway (I don't care about the plot)

I would make fun of you for picking the contrarian pick without a charm point unlike 2B however longer hair is a significant buff.

@DrRyanSkelton @theorytoe @rlier23 @beardalaxy @EdBoatConnoisseur @wgiwf @bleedingphoenix i like a2 more than 2b but i did enjoy automata

@rlier23 @theorytoe @beardalaxy @EdBoatConnoisseur @wgiwf why would someone envy gacha players? the games are free, I've played several of them; I still don't think they qualify. people complain already about how mobile games are saturating the market, and most gachas are mobile games or adjacent, so how is this any different? just because there are bad games doesn't mean we start respecting Subway Surfers.

@bleedingphoenix @theorytoe @beardalaxy @EdBoatConnoisseur @wgiwf

>comparing subway surfers to games with narratives

i know you are eager to call everyone you don't agree with a coomer but you should really keep yourself in check m8

@rlier23 @theorytoe @beardalaxy @EdBoatConnoisseur @wgiwf Subway Surfers has an actual narrative, with an animated series and everything. all they need is a pull system for characters.
also I have not said anything about coomers in this thread, while you have twice. I'm going to discount that as massive projection. gachas should be their own thing, they are not serious attempts at games and it is not embarrassing to like them regardless of that fact.

@bleedingphoenix @rlier23 @EdBoatConnoisseur @beardalaxy @theorytoe @wgiwf how I'm lookin at guys who "hate pedos" but are reposting cunny everyday

@wgiwf @beardalaxy @theorytoe @bleedingphoenix

@wgiwf @theorytoe @EdBoatConnoisseur @bleedingphoenix yeah i'm not saying they should be DQd or that they aren't attractive or anything like that, just that there is a reason why they are designed the way they are and why they stick in your mind much longer.
