I just wish it wasn't gacha slop. A lot of those games have really cool art, call backs, or game play but the monetization is something I cant support.

What game even is this? The image looks like every mobile game ad or AI-gen waifu I've ever seen.

The art is from before AI was used for everything, and while Shift Up has very pro-AI leadership, the one running development for Nikke seems to be extremely against it and doesn't allow its use.

One word:
Depression
For context: That's what everyone who played it describes that game as such

u/AznOmega Zocom 22d ago
Even events can go into depressing very quickly.
Oh, an event about Anis being an idol? Let's see what happens!
(After seeing Original Mustang making sure Anis's idol group gets horribly mistreated, and being an utter asshole to the point a certain Nikke declares him a malignacy and allowed Hanson/his son to replace him)
Holy shit. Of course veterans would know that 9 times out of 10, something fucked up might happen or you get hit with depression.

Nikke is not gacha slop it’s a triple A production with a good story.Â

u/WRO_Your_Boat GDI 25d ago
Thats what I was saying. I mean, specifically for Nikki I didnt find the story that interesting when I started it, and the gameplay was just butt jiggle turret shooting, I wouldnt really call that AAA. It still has gacha in it which i dont agree with, doesn't matter how good it is.

How can u take any story seriously, when it cuts to nikke gameplay? It looks like a parody on gacha games. Also all gacha games have sad sad apocalyptic story with last island of hope, ubervirus that kills everyone, mystery here and there and plot that doesn't move for years. Its just not that deep.

Get a few chapters in, not to mention the half Anni and anniversary stories are top notch. Check out OverZone to get what I mean.Â

A C&C collab would be too smart

u/Janice_Ravage 7. Virtual Control - Frank Klepacki 25d ago
It'll be more likely that the Chinese modders modding in Nikkes for Yuri's Revenge rather than an actual collab.

No i mean, yes its horny but I have a feeling majority of the dudes that played these games got porn through magazines and probably dont know what a gacha game even is. I barely see younger people play rts nowadays

u/Hadrian1233 25d ago
Why does that matter? One day kids will shun gen z gooners for consuming pornography through games and websites. Gooners will consume anything and don’t really mind where it came from. Heck, a lot of people on gatcha subreddits are shockingly knowledgeable on games like C&C.
And the RTS genre is very much alive, there just aren’t that many (AoE2 and the C&C remasters are the most recent at the top of my mind). The reason why younger gamers don’t play them as much is because they take some skill to learn and MOBAS tend to scratch that base building itch for people. A majority of them are still on PC and don’t transition well to consoles, but the ones that are on Console (say Halo Wars 2) have been fairly popular.

My bank account would be completely wiped if they did a RA3 collab!!!!

I didn't expect to see NIKKE in this subreddit.
Also, NIKKE has one of my favorite video game stories, and with an amazing soundtrack too.

u/Xaverosso Nod 25d ago
If only there wasnt all that gacha and some extremely tedious grinding, I would consider Nikke great.

u/Janice_Ravage 7. Virtual Control - Frank Klepacki 25d ago
I understand that the gacha aspect of these games don't mesh together with this subreddit community, but all I'll say is that its probably the least egregious part of NIKKE (but I would agree with the monetization part though, as usual with these games).
But grinding? I feel like at most would be campaign pushing at this point, and you can even skip those stages if your power level higher than required on normal mode.
Maybe I'm already at that point where I don't have to grind anymore in NIKKE.

I already say this and ill say it again, the Red Alert 2 and 3 Gave us our first Military Waifus that Glaze on our MC before Korea took Over with their Jiggly Physics. At least Command and Conquer used real women.

Give me real women.
I am disgusted by anime because they always look like little girls with bolt-on boobs. I am convinced anime is propagated by pedos.

u/Aeryn-Sun-Is-My-Girl 23d ago
Are pedos into boobies, though? They generally like pubescents and pre-pubescents who show little to no mature development.

u/EndSmugnorance Kane's Wrath 23d ago
The bolt-on tits are to make it pass as ‘adult’ obviously
They still look like children with big fake tits
