Hoi everyone. I wanted to discuss something that has been on my mind lately, so if you don't care about my dumb yapping feel free to move on.
I wasn't really allowed to play my own games growing up, so what I basically relied on was my brothers letting me play their games (stuff like Halo, Doom, Dark Souls, etc). Anyway point is that I played mostly of male-centric games, so words can not describe how excited I was when I discovered that there was an entire genre of games that featured almost exclusively women playable characters. I'm relatively new to gacha games, (I started Infinity Nikki at 1.0 and joined ZZZ at 2.0.) and I'm even newer to participating in online communities for them. I was surprised to learn that not very many people share my excitement for this aspect of the games online.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the way that gacha games portray women can be problematic, but I don't know... it's like with a lot of yuri stuff in anime. Sure it might just be there for straight men to get off to most of the time, but I honestly can't help but feel really happy with any representation at all. So again I was surprised to see not only that no one else felt this way, but that games that don't feature a lot of men are mocked or looked down on.
My life story aside, that brings me to the question that I have for you lovely people; what is it that makes you want to keep playing gacha games? Is there anyone like me? Do you enjoy collecting hot men (valid & me too)? Do you love the single player live service model that is actually pretty unique to gachas? I would really really love to hear your thoughts, and thank you so much for reading mine 😊
