@DaiTenshi_06 Do what better? Sexualization? BrownDust 2 blows NIKKE out of the water with skimpier costumes and themes. LADS - It's not just sex appeal that drives player retention. Fuck nikkes = they're sex objects, that's all they are according to you.. I am done with this bad faith convo.

@aahnold Because some do it better than most ? Genshin is the gacha with the most r34 know in the space. LADS have litteral cropped sex in-game You litteraly fucking Nikke in Bond Story. ZZZ is doing just fine, BA, Arknights, AL or GFL are lower than ZZZ and they are doing fine ??

"feminist game " in question

@DaiTenshi_06 If sex appeal was everything that was holding the players to keep playing, they could just go to rule34. Don't be dense.

@DaiTenshi_06 If sex sells, then why hundreds of other slop gachas don't? Where's ZZZ? Why is it not the most profitable gacha out there? "Sex only" doesn't sell as well compared to when you have a full package of a good game where characters feel real and are not mere sex objects.

@DaiTenshi_06 >This one aspect doesn't prevent the others Yes, exactly. These things can go hand in hand. Because if, say, Dorothy was just a sex object in the eyes of the devs, what purpose would Overzone, Red Ash, Ark Guardian, Pretty Star and the latest chapters serve in regards to gooing?

@aahnold This one aspect doesn't prevent the others. "Sex sell" is well know business strategies. If the character weren't visually appealing we wouldn't care about their story in the first place

@DaiTenshi_06 >Gacha games would settle only for visuals. And their stories would be on the level of the original DOOM, - as John Carmack famously said, the plot only needs to be porn movie level thick. Rephrasing.

@DaiTenshi_06 Yes. Because if they did they wouldn't need elaborate stories. Gacha games would settle only for visuals. NIKKE is attributed the line "came for the `plot`, stayed for the plot" for a good reason. Those gachas that don't go an extra mile receive no recognition.

@DaiTenshi_06 You have severe mental/comprehension deficiencies then. Because I said explicitly I do not deny that NIKKE is a gooner game. But it also doesn't treat women as just sex objects. To state the opposite is quite literally mental.

@aahnold I read it clear and I can see you cannot see farther than your nose

@DaiTenshi_06 Have you not read the post with clarification to which you replied?

@aahnold The game design in itself objectify women like a lot of gacha games. You have to be brain dead to see only the lore let it fool you to not take a step back to see the obvious

@DaiTenshi_06 And to clarify: no, I do not argue that NIKKE is not a gooner game marketed for males or that it's full blown feminist. But you have to be brain dead to not acknowledge that it's precisely because it doesn't treat nikkes as purely sex objects that it is so good.

@DaiTenshi_06 Yeah, let's just completely ignore the framing and that the protagonist never takes advantage of nikkes. In the recent 2x2 Love event there are bad paths that punish the player for indulging in lewd nikke's desires or for acting like a horny sex obsessed dog.

@animetrends And look, Hoyo, Kuro, Hypergryph etc and their games might not be exactly stellar. Sometimes their game updates are mid and Japan has a lot of good looking games too, but not exactly in the same genre/aesthetic.

@animetrends What stops Japanese studios to master cel shaded anime aesthetics and deliver a quality product, albeit slower? I haven't seen better looking anime games that came out of Japan. Chinese devs not only pump out content - their baseline quality and visuals are also higher.

Japón admitió su derrota frente a los creadores de "Genshin Impact". La razón es la ironía más grande de la industria: los estudios chinos explotan a sus desarrolladores mucho mejor que los japoneses. Shuhei Yoshida, ex directivo de PlayStation, confesó que las empresas niponas jamás podrán igualar la monstruosa velocidad y escala de compañías como miHoYo. ¿El gran secreto? En China contratan ejércitos enteros de personas dispuestas a trabajar jornadas inhumanas, un modelo masivo que hoy en día es ilegal replicar bajo las leyes laborales de Japón. La razón por la que Genshin Impact existe tal como es no es solo talento. Es que China puede hacer cosas que Japón tiene prohibidas.

@gamjasssak You can FEEL how Dorothy's composure crumbled under the flood of happy memories.

니케 오버존-현재

@kapy1994 @Blitzkokaqb And old Mustang enjoys seeing others suffer.

@kapy1994 @Blitzkokaqb Anis calls Mustang her boss. And current Mustang says he never makes entertainment at the expense of innocent bystanders.

Ok he definitely replacing him.

@TheMorganalOTP @NotShinyPiprup @Sir_Purrito Still, with birthrates that high, human mortality low and life longevity high, even if that many people were converted to nikkes, they should still be counted as part of the Ark's population, which doesn't grow despite all of that. Something much more sinister must be happening.

@NotShinyPiprup @Sir_Purrito The answer to your question is given in that same talk, for the nikkes, they only need the brain, everything else is used to feed the core adults, old people, children, they were direct: "in the Ark there are no cemeteries".

Another mistery solved 😜 #Nikkefanart #GoddessofVictoryNikke #NIKKE
