what is the appeal of this overdesigned garbage and why do we not hate it with the zeal we do mcus, etc

you must be new here

Re: genshin/honkai/wtfever

you've somehow gotten such contrarian brainrot you think popular things are hated more than they're liked

I think it's just lazy bait that it's far too early in the post for. The wtfever really tips their hand.

sexy character designs means cishet men like it so it's automatically bad

Most genshin fans I’ve met have been fujoshi so this bait is rank

this just made me realise I don't know a single cishet male fan of it

from what i can tell the story hooks people enough to play and the designs are appealing enough to reach a broad audience. genshin also is open world so it appeals to people who enjoy open world mechanics. (that was my main reason not to play because i don't enjoy open world games)

i think it also helps that it is cross-platform, even if the engine isn't optimized for genshin. it makes it easier to get people into it.

it's also free, let's be honest

there are plenty of people who'll play something mid because it doesn't cost them anything and they can get excited about most of the same stuff with their friends

Ignoring the bait. How long until people start complaining about wuthering waves too I wonder.

[(Anonymous)]

depends, how hoppable are those cocks?

[(Anonymous)]

soon enough. it's open to more people as of later today/tomorrow, so there'll be a wave of ww players joining the genshin/hsr ranks.

Blandly inoffensive and generically "pretty" skinny twinks and waifus plus basic bitch archetypes

it's a boring rpers dream

[(Anonymous)]

how long before people start making character profiles for the characters in withering waves??

Where are you where this game isn't hated by a good chunk of people

Re: genshin/honkai/wtfever

bait aside i hate how zealous players of these are about evangelizing

i've had three people now tell me they'd tag me back or resume old threads if i'd pick up different faves from these games, and i don't think i've ever encountered that from another fandom. for anyone who does this, btw, "i won't do a unless you b" is the worst possible way to get anyone to try something, and the best way to sell a canon is to make those characters interesting through rp, so maybe try that instead

americans are triggered because natlan character designs aren't dark-skinned, because god forbid light-skinned poc exist. love seeing these racist babies cry about it <3 literally the rest of the world doesn't give a shit

Re: genshin/honkai/wtfever

tfw these games would be so much better if they were written by japanese people

Re: genshin/honkai/wtfever

so is zenless zone zero as bad as gaijin impact or honky wallet rail

i want to say yes given how blatantly fanservicey it is even compared to those games

hearing about the genshin/honkai community being cancer makes me relieved that tear of themis' fandom is relatively tiny compared to them. less people usually means it's more chill. doesn't mean it's devoid of wank, ofc

for those who don't play tot, the pity system is a guaranteed high rarity card for every 100 cards you pull. sss is the newest rarity that was implemented for the third anniversary of the game, and the cards come with a new mechanic where you get to touch the male leads and hear them moan/pant/sigh/etc. these anniversary cards in particular have the men being shirtless. said new mechanic uses hearts which you can fill up every time you tap on the ml of your choice. more hearts means more interactions. to unlock hearts, you need special tokens

in the old system, you have to pull FIVE copies of the sss card to get more tokens and unlock all hearts. this means if you're REALLY unlucky, you'll have to pull 500 cards to hit pity every time and it'll deplete your in-game currency really fast. naturally the chinese server's playerbase complained about this to mihoyo, and the devs from cn got rid of the old system

new system = you just need to pull THREE copies to get more tokens for unlocking more moaning/sighing/sussy dialogue. alternatively, you could also wait for events that include tokens as the reward and grind for those instead. most players opted to just pull one copy of their favorite guy and dip, or get one copy of all four guys and dip. only the most hardcore and down bad would whale massively for five copies of their husbando

anyway, global devs made a tweet announcing the sss system -- but it was the OLD system! none of the playerbase liked it! but a few hours after that, the tweet about the announcement got deleted and the devs apologized, hastily making a tweet about the new system instead. did an underpaid intern screw up, or was this all a pr stunt from mihoyo? who knows

MiHoYo hired a known sex pest to play the newest character from Honkai Star Rail and people went wild.

Some dumbass friend of Niosi (Sunday's VA) whiteknighted his ass and shat on his victims. Then he got clowned on by the community.
