Ethics of gatcha gaming aside, everything about miHoYo pisses me off because the games are gorgeous and have great core gameplay loops, interesting writing, beautiful music, and unbelievable amounts of polish. They company is absolutely capable of making excellent video games. Instead they're choosing to make slot machines disguised as excellent video games.

On an entirely personal level I don't hate gacha as much as I hate Games as Service (but there's a lot of overlap). I don't actually want a forever game, I just want a fun time that ends and doesn't guilt trip you for putting it down. There are so many games where I liked everything about the game itself but stopped playing not because the qualitu went down but because it felt like putting off homework.

Oh also don't play FEH it's boring as poo poo lol. fun hater posted:the state of animation right now is genuinely heartbreaking considering what its come from, but unions are coming back babey!!! i have much higher hopes for animators in the long run than i do comics. One of my roommates in uni chose our school because it had an extremely well regarded animation/illustration program and he wanted to be a story boarder. By the time he finally managed to graduate the program had been defunded to the point it was two professors sharing a room and the idea of landing a distinct story board job instead of just generic staff animator/vfx was a pipe dream.  He at least managed to land on his feet and from what I understand has been getting by alright doing commission work but yeah it just seems like an absolutely miserable field.

Was Engage originally supposed to have actual monetized gatcha elements in it? It has like 90% of the systems in place with the rings but they all just kind of feel weirdly vestigial, particularly since there's only 1-2 gatcha rings that are worth putting on a character over the actual hero rings you just get as part of the main quest.

There is usually a large stable of artists to provide a variety of waifu styles. The artists which have shown to produce designs that sell well are given preference. The really good ones then may get a contract job to design the main cast of big brand games like a Fire Emblem and so on. e: For example, here is the Azur Lane (big titty boats) artist list: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Artists trucutru fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Jan 23, 2024 |

Yeah that was the plan initially. Just like every other game with random stat points bonuses on armor. Like the Witcher or Fallout, Gotham Knights, Suicide Squad and Cyberpunk 2077.

I feel I have to be overly picky with anime youtubers, or trim down my list a bit more. No, Mother's Basement, I did not need you to compare Delicious in Dungeon to Made in Abyss just because both shows deal with the logistics of monster ecosystems in a big pit.

Now that I'm watching the latter it seems more appropriate to compare delicious in dungeon to Frieren but it would reveal huge spoilers for the former

I honestly don't know, at least not for new shows. Personally it comes down to the kind of content the youtuber covers, which sets different tolerance levels in me for what turns me off their videos. I really like Sage's Anime Abandon series for looking at older shows but he also covers a lot of the ultraviolent OVAs from the 80s and 90s and all that entails so it's not an automatic recommendation.

I wanna like Mothers Basement but the idea that he “painstakingly worked with YouTooz to get every detail right” on his figurine and it came out looking like chibi Scott Wozniak just rubs me the wrong way a teeny tiny bit like, is that simply the best that YouTooz can do with their generic figurine base template (in which case, whatever. Get that money), or did they originally come to him with a much more true-to-life prototype that he vetoed for vanity reasons? trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Jan 24, 2024 |

Endorph posted:well, not in mihoyo's case. they have actual salaried character design positions. they occasionally bring in freelancers but most of the art is done inhouse. Is that why mihoyo is so willing to tell the weird "finger pinching motion is feminist propaganda" online mob to go gently caress themselves?

I used to watch a channel called pause and select for anime stuff but he really doesn’t do that anymore, or anything at all that I care about really. The rest of the field is worthless to downright loathsome in my experience. Well seeya.

No, Mother's Basement, I did not need you to compare Delicious in Dungeon to Made in Abyss just because both shows deal with the logistics of monster ecosystems in a big pit. Jesus you made me go look at his recap of of Dungeon Meshi, and selling it on "cozy cooking comedy" is not only underselling the real charm and depth of the series' character writing and dry humor, but it's going to upset people when it hits the darker spots in the story later. Also no idea where he's going by comparing Freiren to Tolkein. I love Freiren, but it's not going for a Tolkein approach to... anything. E-and calling it a "5e cookbook" is dumb, considering Ryoko Kui's drawing a lot of influence from the waaaaay-older-than-5e-D&D-CRPGs like Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 Nuns with Guns fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Jan 24, 2024 |

Frieren feels more like it's going for the 16 bit jrpg dragon quest / breath of fire tropes than Tolkien, that is a pretty weird comparison!

There's really almost nothing that is comparable to Tolkien and I don't mean that in a bad way, his writing comes from a vastly different mindset than the "I'm going to write a fantasy story" thought process usually creates. But it does make me wonder if the people who compare something to Tolkien because it superficially resembles Middle Earth really know what the guy was about. I get more Witcher vibes (minus the fairy tale satire and postmodern political riffing) off of Frieren than Tolkien. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Jan 24, 2024 |
