Your opinion on otome gacha games

[LSY]

Otome gacha games are such a love-hate relationship. When you see a breathtaking card of your favorite character or a story that's sweet enough to give you cavities, you just desperately want to collect it. But then you can never seem to pull it, and before you know it, you've fallen right into the pay-to-win trap.

I can play them for like 1 month max and then i get really burnt out from grinding and keeping up with events. Its a shame because sometimes the LIs are so hot It's why I stopped playing LADS but you bet im still keeping up to date with the latest LADS news and cards through small snippets on social media, just to see my boy caleb 1 more time :(

I have started despising all kinds of gacha games...i used to be really into them when i was like 14 and i especially was a obey me addict but honestly the quality of the story would get worse and worse while the fun factor was almost non existent. I sometimes wish i could rip away the characters and put them in actual games that are Fun and Interesting and dont have Predatory Tactics

My relationship with gacha games feels like someone with an addiction - I would hate it most of the day but sometimes i would relapse and plays it (and sometimes waste some of my hard earned money on it)

Tho with otome gacha, most of the times they are too stingy and hard to survive if you're not p2w, heck, even if you're p2w, if you're not whale level or leviathan level, you would still drown. That stingyness always be the first string that pulled me back into stop playing the game.

Now i'm in a period where i haven't touched otome gachas in months, tho i'm still sometimes follow the news (like LADS Valko drop or LnN SEA Server just opened less than a month ago) sometimes the urge to play will be high but then i remember the stingy monetization and my will will plumet AHAHAH. Also the grind, that sucks too, i just want to read the story not play whatever mini game that is in season for the event.

Part of my problem with otome gacha is also my taste in men are usually not really catered when in comes to more fixed LI like TOT. I know my taste can be quite niche and that's why i'm more inclined towards otome/joseimuke with many cast member (like Yumekuro) so i can search for the one that suits me best. Even in Yumekuro, i was still looking for main LI (i like maybe about 4 LI but not too much to the point i call them my main) until Volks came and finally i found a man that is truly my taste haha.

The only game i stayed for about a year is Yumekuro, i spent quite alot on there, even then i dipped when their quality (no double awakening, also started feeling the Boys face looks almost the same with the same kind of expression, and it took too long to rotate into the man i actually like) seems to plummet and eventually EoS. It sucks that bilibili choose to pull the funding causing the game quality to drop. Well, i guess that's one of the risk of playing Live service game, it might be EoS all of the sudden even if they kindly add an ending to wrap up current progressing story, it will still leaves many plot hole.

I guess the main attraction to otome gacha live service game is that you can get more content almost regulary, but i think it's not that worth it cuz i've survived with games with barely any content other than the game itself and was able to survive through imagination, delusion, shared fan content and commissioning for fan media.

I just hate all gacha games. For me, their maximum interesting time is 2-3 days. Anything further just turns into empty grinding you'd most likely fail to do because it's pay-to-live. Even with interesting characters

I'm usually pretty balanced in my opinions, but seriously, I hate gacha games.
Not just the otome versions, but the genre in general. Sure, I've played a few—I always thought I had strong willpower, but I still found myself grinding to get my favorite character (though I stuck to the rule of not spending real money).
To me, this model is really predatory and very bad for players (but of course, it's great for companies).

Not my cup of tea but I once played Mr:Love: queens choice

I just can't focus on the story alone in otome gacha games. I also have to spend time doing daily missions, upgrading my cards, collecting enough stamina to unlock more story chapters, and so on. Otherwise, I'd have to spend a huge amount of money—but even then, it still wouldn't let me unlock all of the game's content. That's why I usually lose interest and get burned out after just 2–5 days.

I rarely play games of this type now, because I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and enjoy collecting everything. Once some limited-time events are missed, there's nothing left but to wait for their return, which makes me feel distressed. However, it's undeniable that some games in this genre do offer a sense of companionship, as they are designed for long-term development and provide different content based on different periods. If one doesn't feel compelled to collect everything, a more laid-back gaming experience can still be enjoyable.

I don't really hate otome gacha games; in fact, I've been playing one recently. What I dislike is the format of tying character stories to cards, because if I can't pull them, I might never get to read their exclusive stories. But lately, I've been letting go of that—what I can't get just drifts away. I still have otome games with a one-time purchase I can play. After all, my budget and energy don't allow me to chase too many gacha pulls anymore, haha.

 

[Yui_Tsurata]

Most of the otome gacha games are not f2p friendly even if you only have one favorite LI and just want to collect favorite cards (not 100% collection of your fav). I don't like it. One more concern is the story/visual quality, I experienced a major drop in the old otome gacha I played to the point I hate the game although I used to love it so much.

I only play Themis now and I'm not a f2p, but to be honest, I don't want any more otome gacha games.

I'm a total gacha addict, so I play several gacha games, not just otome ones. My luck is unbelievably bad, and I'm always screaming over my pulls. But no matter how many times I get unlucky, I still can't stop thinking, "Maybe the next one will be the lucky pull!" Gacha games are the worst, but I'm addicted and can't quit… basically like cigarettes.

There was a period in my life that i actively looked for, played and even enjoyed online games (otoge, rhythm, other genres too) but i realized they're just a big waste of time. You spend so much time and maybe even money, just to painfully reach things you can easily obtain in an offline game. I'd rather own my games too, since anything online will one day get shut down, details changed, events that might not come back ever, constant updates and adding new things that i might not like that might turn into bloat if they're kept up for years.
I just love a finished , offline story that i can go through anytime i want without torturing myself. When i finish an offline game- i get that good satisfaction you get from reading the best book of your life. But online games that have no end ruin that satisfaction with pushing you to work for simple things more and more- until one day your money and effort is lost because you either lost your account or the game servers shut down.

Having to keep paying money isn't a good feeling.
And for someone like me who enjoys collecting all the even/illustrations/endings, this is just too unfriendly.

 

[PrincessMello]

I used to really try and log everyday and grind side quests to afford pulls but my luck is terrible so i gave up on the concept of gacha in general ngl (╥_╥)

 

[Luis1996]

I enjoy playing it, especially Love and Deepspace but I feel like, after a long time playing, it can become stressful and monotonous
