>>526066 https://youtu.be/3_B2-jaHAmQ?si=nPlU0b0zFlMbge-v I'm watching this trailer right now, and I have to say, it's weird that the gameplay loop sounds exactly like Stella Sora. >Story Mode >Roguelite mode where you start with a basic kit and get buffs as the stage progress >after a complete run, the upgrades that won you the run get "saved", and that's what you use in the Story Mode and farming stages (aka can't just plug and play units you want) The card aspect just seems like a way to reduce consistency (e.g. shit my hand is bricked I didn't draw the combo I need, better restart the run) to artificially inflate the playtime in hindsight. Are these mechanics an "inspiration" from an older gacha I don't know of? Because I can't believe they developed such a similar gameplay loop separately.

>>666477 that is basically the easiest way to add variety to a repetitive gameplay loop

>>666477 Kind of the same way Uma Musume works. I like it, though. Basically the reward for having a great run is that you can use those characters for "postgame" content, if you will.

Never seen anyone talk about this one before but it looks pretty cute, the official channel has been posting daily L2Ds now, I wonder if it's releasing soon https://youtu.be/lRkoNF_iBco?si=afLvj1EMd9rSiPN5

I'm waiting to see more of Unending Dawn. >>433128 Stopped caring about this when I saw it has QTEs in combat.

I'm only looking forward Kaleidorider. Haven't seen anything else that panders to the harem demographic this blatantly.

>>526066 >>669676 I love how gooks are taking the mantle Mihoyo has abandoned and are now creating their own Honkai clones. Honkai was huge in Korea afterall. Still disappointed that they're all turn-based but oh well.

>>678282 I hope they keep doing lolis, specially erotic ones

who else is excited about Azur Promilia?

>>688585 I really look forward to it. Especially because it looks to have thins to grind which aren't just different RNG stats. It's also nice to see that the age rating went up. Means we'll be able to get the panties to see. Like in the first trailer you could see her wearing spats, now they are gone. Honestly the game looks just overall better now than it did back then. I do hope it comes soon.

Azur promilia CBT1 <Only for CN <PC only https://m.weibo.cn/status/5188671718035012

>>695680 <Only for CN

>>688585 I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm eager to try but also prepared to drop it at the drop of a hat.

>>695680 I hope farming & catching monsters isnt gachaified and you can play those whenever (and they are useful/cool) This is the only upcoming gacha Im interested in.

>>695680 weird, how come it's always compared to pokemans instead of the more similar aura kingdom playstyle

>>695680 What's the deal with the third image, better texture? At least they got meat for this kind of 3D genshin clone >>688585 The wait is killing me. It's the only thing that keeps me going.

>>703065 Those are guaranteed time gated. The furnace and egg stuff shown in the latest showcase are very similar to palword mechanic which have those. I think they said upgrade mat also comes from crafting or your farm, I'm not sure. What I don't want is genshin 50/50 system, I hope they keep their old monetization by selling cosmetic.

>>703065 Pretty sure those Cards to catch the Kibos are crafted and you can see here on the right side that one of the Kibos is crafting those cards you use to catch them. I am going to assume the different cards take different resources, with higher "level" cards taking rarer resources (or more advanced?). >>713609 Yeah the third image is a before and after. The before should be the model they showed off in the first gameplay trailer when the game was revealed and the after is how it looks now.

>>713637 It's so lame that it's a card that you don't even throw. I guess they got spooked by tendies patent scare.

>>713637 >Pretty sure those Cards to catch the Kibos are crafted Literally Palworld!

>>486910 Funny how the only noteworthy game to come from them recently is Wizardry and that was awhile ago now. Maybe there's a case for Im@s, although it has zero appeal to me. >>488800 You're wrong on two counts: Zero is in the middle of the pack at best and FGO is rancid dogshit.

https://youtu.be/egzwLzRG6Tw >CZN collabs with Mori Damn *begrudingly crosses it out of my anticipated gacha list*

I've always been annoyed by how boring autobattlers are visually >BA: characters just stand and shoot, does a fancy animation for the ult >Starseed: characters just stand and melee, does a fancy animation for the ult >that upcoming motorcycle one: despite being on fucking motorbikes all they do is basically sit still and shoot and do a fancy animation for skills I've always thought the one thing limiting games from being the spectacles you see in anime is that it's just not possible to map it all to a controller. By that logic then, removing the controller and letting units act freely as they do in autobattlers should allow for fighting as dynamic as that. Instead, autobattlers are all less dynamic than games where you're actually in control. Then today I learned of Virtual Circle, a game with similar gameplay to Uma, but the racing replaced with fighting. The combat actually looks really good, and it's exactly what I was looking for. Except it seems I've been hit by the largest goddamn monkey's paw in existence: every character is apparently some actual chink vtuber. I don't care about vtubers, and knowing all the dramafaggotry that comes with them makes me feel like this game's gonna doa. Fuck me, I guess

Epic games is suing Epidgames, the Trickcal devs.

>>854012 Should have called themselves Ebin Games

CZN Test soon

Anyone else get into the Kaleidorider test?

>Duet Night Abyss removed the gacha for character, banners and stamina >you get everything for free and can farm gear infinitely for free Does it still qualify as a gacha game?

>>887871 Also from the stream. You simply farm character currency and redeem whatever character you want at any point from a shop, like Limbus but no banners at all, just get the character with no FOMO and no gambling. You have to play and grind for them tho. You can still spend money if you don't want to grind and skins will also be purchasable.

>>887871 >>887982 This is a good thing, Warframe is the best possible system for F2P game. I wish more games were as F2P friendly as Warframe. You can get literally everything for free or pay to skip the grind and the grind is not even that bad. I give DNA a try when it drops.

>>887871 Really interesting move. I'll give the game a try for that alone. Especially as someone that's been playing Warframe for more than a decade now, we really need more games to adopt a monetization system like that.

>>889273 I'm surprised they did not adopt a "hybrid" system, you roll gacha for the first copy, but can grind out the other copies. The true test will be just how bad the grind is for a F2P, in Warframe, if you choose not to engage with the player market, you can grind out a new Prime in about 2 weeks of casual play with the worst possible luck.

>>427038 >gacha system removed So it's just a pure MMO now? Count me in.

Guys, I can't take it anymore. I won't wait until I get to level 40 before I can finally explore Fontaine. Today, I'm gonna illegally trespass into the land of Justice by parachuting into it! Wish me good lick!
