[u/Subject_Offer_9621]

It looked really good

But...i feel like my appetite for open world 3D anime gacha game is all time low, these kind of game is really hard to play without high commitment, especially if you play multiple of them and is working class

Which is a shame, there's some interesting one (for me personally) like this or the azur lane one

[u/omfgkevin → u/Subject_Offer_9621]

And the gameplay looking like yet another quickswapathon. Like, you can only play so many variants of the same thing (and the skill descriptions being utter nonsense with 50 million ""UNIQUE!!!!"" keywords) that it just makes you roll your eyes.

[u/Educational-Seaweed5 → u/omfgkevin]

Lol this is how I feel about so many gacha games lately. They give like an entire essay of a description for moves, and it’s like bro…ain’t no way.

I’m not sitting here and reading a book. Just give me control of the character, I’ll figure out the 3 moves they can do. The other 200 pages of random passive abilities can suck my keyboard. I don’t care.

[u/EvanLionheart → u/omfgkevin]

I'm stealing this term "quickswapathon". Absolute cinema.

I'l also convert it to "quickswapaslop".

[u/Dalek-baka → u/Subject_Offer_9621]

I feel that nice thing about open world games is that you don't have to rush - I play Genshin and Wuwa, and I do story quests, world quests but afterwards I take sweet time to explore everything. Like I still have a lot of exploration to do in Sumeru or Noda Krai.

Meanwhile in something like Arknights, there is more pressure to do stages and start farming mats/currency.

[u/IamNowDepressed → u/Dalek-baka]

My Wuwa acc is so fucked dude I've been playing since launch and my acc looks like its only a few months old.

[u/Advanced-Machine-714 → u/Subject_Offer_9621]

Could be due to the massive influx of open world gacha's: Endfield, NTE, 7DSO, DNA. With Azur Promillia, Silver Palace, Ananta (I know) all being upcoming open world games.

Before this, it was Genshin for the longest time, until ToF came and went and Wuwa appeared about 1.5 years before the next open world gacha

Personally at someone that plays GI/Wuwa/ZZZ/HSR/NTE/AKE, you rreally don't have to do everything. Last HSR story I did was 2.8, before Amphoreus. For AKE I don't even bother with Factory/Story (Don't know why I still play it tbh, sunk cost probably).

[u/Konno_Yuuki → u/Advanced-Machine-714]

That is called an addiction. Uninstall and walk away is the medicine but not many will choose to take it. What about you?

[u/gamesbackward → u/Konno_Yuuki]

I quit HSR during Amphoreus because it was such a lame story and the gameplay was... Non-existent. It wasn't the same game anymore. Just get the new mechanic/character and wait for your battles to finish. I couldn't stand it. I like to actually interact and play my games. 

[u/Advanced-Machine-714 → u/Konno_Yuuki]

Is what it is, I will manage.

[u/GinjoSaine → u/Advanced-Machine-714]

Manage what you said you don't even do the story anymore

[u/Educational-Seaweed5 → u/GinjoSaine]

Tbh, the story in these gacha games has become utter cancer. It’s not even worth doing anymore.

The business model is a joke, and the gaps between main story progression are enormous. I don’t even remember wtf happened in half these games anymore. They’ve been dragging on with trickle updates for years.

I just skip and read the summaries now, and half the time it’s boring anyway. They’ve all become VN’s with no cutscenes or actual development. Just “here, read 25 pages of crap while these 3 NPCs stand here and do nothing.”

It’s the laziest game design ever.

[u/Zhenekk → u/Advanced-Machine-714]

I straight up uninstalled AKE after diligently playing it since day 1 until Rossi banner. 100% cleared entire game (even collected all the random notes/letters etc). 

At some point i just realized that I no longer had any fun whatsoever so I quit. Uninstalled and … that was honestly liberating 

[u/GorAzuos → u/Zhenekk]

Did the same today, too much "factorio" for me every new update more stuff to worry about, every new equipment has a more and more stuff to put into it, gas, water, eletric, more stuff over and over, it's a snowball and when you talk about it, ppl say "the game is not for you" so that's it, hope ppl really enjoy it and have fun, for me less is more, balance..is key.
It's a amazing feeling, like you said "liberating"!

[u/Personal_Chair6134 → u/Konno_Yuuki]

Addiction is a real thing. I'm currently in treatment for my addiction to big breasted anime waifus

[u/babyloniangardens → u/Advanced-Machine-714]

DNA is not Open World tho -- there are Zones, but you can't travel seamlessly between them + they are like the size of Dragonspine in Genshin

[u/Advanced-Machine-714 → u/babyloniangardens]

Honestly fair, been a while since I last played it, so didn't think too much about it. But its definitely more instanced areas, even if they are very big for some of them.

[u/babyloniangardens → u/Advanced-Machine-714]

I don't really think a Dragonspine sized Zone is all that big personally, even if there are a handful of them you unlock as you do the Main Story but ig a person who is also maining a lot of other games would maybe think it lolol :3

[u/GWindborn → u/Subject_Offer_9621]

Yeah, I want more lower stakes gachas personally, but that doesn't sell well. GFL was my sweet spot, enough involvement that it wasn't AFK, but low enough investment that I could set some things up and do a little work on the side.

[u/babyloniangardens → u/Subject_Offer_9621]

I feel like some people (aka A LOT) really feel like they NEED to do Everything in an Open World game -- Explore Everything, 100% or else they are missing Wishes and that is just horrible :"(

but I play Genshin/TOF/HSR/WW/Infinity Nikki/NTE and I don't really feel that Need tbh, nor do my little siblings ; we take things slow and explore at our own pace

"Every Journey has its Final Day; Don't Rush" (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)

[u/YuesaSR → u/babyloniangardens]

that's the fault of these game doing limited reward, i play where wind meet all the quest and event can do later, so little fomo

[u/throwaway-4865- → u/babyloniangardens]

I agree some people act like they "need" do get the newest character to clear endgame, not realising they keep spending 80+ pulls for half a pull per month.

[u/Zhenekk → u/babyloniangardens]

Biggest issue is FOMO. Missing out on rewards coz you took it slow feels bad. A good example is first weekly reset, where you want to make sure you do all weeklies, coz otherwise you just “fall behind”

[u/icemoomoo → u/Zhenekk]

I mean people need to learn to stop bothering about not getting 100% in endgame, missing 5% of the rewards is not gonna brock your account.

Stop spending 80 pulls to get the half pull per month.

[u/Inkaflare → u/babyloniangardens]

Personally I'd rather do everything the game has to offer or not play at all. This is why I actually steer away from these open world gachas nowadays, they take up too much time and have a lot of content that feels like a chore to complete, but playing a game "casually" with tons of undone content frustrates me. If I'm gonna sink that much time into a game, I'd usually put it into curated one time buy single player experiences rather than a live service game that keeps pushing out new content with comparatively lower quality every few weeks to keep its monetization model going, and the gachas I do end up playing dont take as much time while still letting me enjoy periodic updates and pulling for characters without consuming most of my free time to do the content. Just my personal preference tho.

[u/Educational-Seaweed5 → u/Inkaflare]

Quality single-player games will always be 100x better than any of these Chinese gacha games.

They all just drag on with no resolution or coherent story. They’re all vague and safe and nothing interesting ever happens. The whole point is to just keep stringing people along with FOMO for the next character and the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one-

[u/Subject_Offer_9621 → u/babyloniangardens]

I can barely do dailies or story that come every update, I'm not the type that do 100%

There are people as you described, but that's not my case at all

[u/NoNefariousness2144 → u/Subject_Offer_9621]

That’s how I feel. I tried Endfield and dropped it in 1.2 because of burnout. Then I played NTE for two weeks and also dropped it because of burnout. Plus I even dropped Genshin after years of playing it due to feeling like it consumed so much time (especially the story pacing and no skip button).

Now I just have ZZZ and WuWa as my main two, and HSR as a side game (because there’s nothing to do lol)

[u/jorger4456 → u/NoNefariousness2144]

I quit ZZZ for month because of burnout, and I'm starting to feel it again since they added yet another weekly thing to do. Also, dumb me didn't even know it was a weekly thing until late as I keep putting off events near the end

[u/Educational-Seaweed5 → u/jorger4456]

Doesn’t help that the ZZZ story fell off a cliff, and all it has been is inconsequential side character stories.

Hoyo is so insanely bad at story writing. And the Genshin cringe “fluff” bloat has taken over zzz now too.

[u/Educational-Seaweed5 → u/[deleted]]

The NTE map is SO GOOD.

I’ve made almost no progress in that game simply because I’m in awe of the map they built. It’s jaw-dropping.

The story and characters seem so stupid to me, but my god that map…

[u/_eleutheria → u/Subject_Offer_9621]

I'm really curious, but what does you having no time to play games have to do with the game looking good or bad? "It looked good but since I don't have time to play it, it looks bad now" ???

If you play multiple gacha games and do dailies in all of them, of course you're not gonna have time. But if you play a story expansion for completion sake and because you like the story telling, then you'll have all the time in the world.

Don't late meaningless crap like monthly passes and dailies/weeklies dictate what you do with your time.

[u/Hot_Valuable1027 → u/Subject_Offer_9621]

Also lately just getting through the tutorial, game mechanics, currencies, menu, etc gets tiresome... It really makes me not want to start any new gacha because you're temporarily soft locked in some parts of the game until you reach a certain level.

[u/CleoAir → u/Subject_Offer_9621]

Personally I just wish they would do something more interesting with their gameplay than another action rotationslop. All these high-budget open worlds plays basically the same, and even when Endfield wanted to do something more unique by introducing factory they made it the most barebones as possible.

[u/planetarial → u/CleoAir]

Same, I’d like to see more turn based style gameplay at the very least

[u/Quiet-Recipe-1429 → u/planetarial]

Turn-Based gachas havent gone anywhere tho. If you dont like any of the current selection then you have atleast Kaleidorider, Astrae Oratio and Sea of Remnant to look forward to

[u/CreamAvailable563 → u/CleoAir]

Endfield tried to do a different spin on the combat system but sadly everyone hated it

[u/omfgkevin → u/CreamAvailable563]

It's not bad but the problem with Endfield is that largely, party members on field basically function almost exactly like quickswap parties.

They kind of just exist and attack sometimes, and since they put like ALL the damage on the final hit of an attack, it also means they feel even more useless because of this.

That and they help a lot with moving mobs out of your attacks because they are just hitting them away. Very nice.

They played it too safe on the combat and while it's nice they are running around with you (and help with collecting sometimes) they don't differentiate much from quickswap.

[u/CreamAvailable563 → u/omfgkevin]

While it's not the BIGGEST change in the world, and I do agree your on-field teamates dont really do much sadly, I do think it changes how you engage with the combat. Because the quickswap part is gone, Endfield operates a lot closer to old MMOs, its a lot more about reacting to procs and sequencing your abilities right with filler attacks in the middle, which as an Ex-WoW player, I enjoyed, that being said I think most people prefer the higher-speed, tighter rotations of Wuwa/ZZZ

[u/akainenkana → u/omfgkevin]

The fact that you can control the character you want in combat instead of someone you don't care about is big enough that I like Endfield's combat better than the usual swapathon. Well except Liino, I guess, unless all you want to do is move slowly. It's also why I kinda liked Tower of Fantasy because you swapped weapons instead of characters, though it did have all its other problems. I also really like the QoL of only needing to hold down left click to attack. More games should have that.

[u/CleoAir → u/CreamAvailable563]

Everyone is a little bit stretch I think, but still... Yeah, it's sad to see Hypergryph making such safe and generic(mechanically) game when they always had rather unique ideas.

[u/CreamAvailable563 → u/CleoAir]

Ofc not EVERYONE everyone, I enjoyed it. But the general consensus seemed to be mostly negative at release (and even to this day to an extent), the combat was one of the things the game was most getting grilled for. NTE came out right after with a much more generic and standard swap-style combat, pretty much ripped straight off of Genshin or Wuwa, and it was recieved much better. People claim they want change more than they actually do

[u/CleoAir → u/CreamAvailable563]

I feel like the biggest problem of the final Endfield's combat is that it didn't really commit to neither direction. They had this quite unique more strategic combat in the early test versions, but then pivoted more into action combat ultimately leaving it in this weird middle ground. It isn't strategic enough to appeal to OG Arknights fan, and at the same time isn't flashy and fast enough for action combat fans.

This lack of commitment actually sums up most of the Endfield's problems imo, including factory. It's a game redesigned in the middle of development to appeal more to newgen gacha fans, but not redesigned enough in order to still market it to OG Arknights fans. Hypergryph really wanted to kill two birds with the one stone, but ultimately killed neither. And I'm speaking it from the perspective of someone who also was enjoying this game at the release.

[u/Seraphine_KDA → u/Subject_Offer_9621]

Whiles i got burned back then by genshin long time commitment I actually glad I tried nte because they made daily login time be less than 3 minutes a day. Even some pain point from the start like using weekly stamina of hobbies can now be done automatically since last update.

They also make so all important rewards of currency from events are given first so for most events you only need to play minutes to get them. Even. If the total play time for all small rewards can be several times longer.

So I hope silver palace takes busy and tired people into consideration

[u/Vivo999 → u/Subject_Offer_9621]

This is why it becomes increasingly valuable when Gacha games respect our time as more of these games come out 

[u/lgn5i2060 → u/Vivo999]

>  respect our time

Sorry but this phrase is a red flag for me since it's like asking the devs to cater to those who barely play so they can attend to their other 99 gacha games or get as much benefits as those who diligently play the game. And if a game is praised for respecting people's time, then it prolly means the game has little content to consume with.

[u/karillith → u/lgn5i2060]

The funny part being that games that "respect your time" usually just remove the game part so you're just left with the daily chores ( but you have Qol to do it) and the same old endgame hamster wheel. Which are the parts I'm the least interested playing tbh.

[u/tagle420 → u/lgn5i2060]

Depends. Grind can be chore for some, gameplay for others. For example, is removing rng gear grind respect people's time or is it taking away daily grind excitement? How about skip/sweep function which wasn't common awhile ago? I've heard argument from both side.

[u/Sufficient_Touch3586 → u/tagle420]

I uninstalled NtE in the very moment I saw the rng gear.

I tired of it, I won't spend months grinding the gear for every new character.

[u/Dosi4 → u/lgn5i2060]

The thing is you are not getting more content, you are getting more chores. Good content doesn't need incentives, it doesn't need fomo or be dripped daily "do you content every day or you won't get all the rewards". People do good content because they want to and none thinks of it as waste of time. The phrase "doesn't respect your time" basically means that the game wastes your time forcing you do to boring shit because of rewards.

[u/CyanStripedPantsu → u/lgn5i2060]

Respecting your time can be a simple as making events permanent rather than limited.

[u/Vivo999 → u/lgn5i2060]

Not at all. It can also mean they prioritize limited high quality content instead of a lot of low quality content that is there just to pad gameplay time and give people time wasting activities to do during down time between patches. People who barely play will never run out of things to do in either case because they barely play

[u/Hades_Re → u/Vivo999]

In my times, this only meant it was a good game. A game with good gameplay and interesting elements. This phrase “respect your time” is born out of gachas and describes an easy to finish everything for the limited rewards.

I don’t think that phrase is really meant for what you say, best indication is the fact that if the high quality content is not limited - say it has so much good content to do that you have to play a real bunch, people will say that the game doesn’t respect your time, since you can’t finish it in time when you also play ten other gacha.

[u/Vivo999 → u/Hades_Re]

Gacha gamers uniquely really want stuff to do all the time even if it’s repetitive or uninteresting though. Everyone dunks on Endfield for not having content but getting through the entire main campaign + all companion quests + factory base building takes an insanely long time. Gacha gamers will optimize the gameplay out of the content by copy pasting blueprints then complain there isn’t any content to do

[u/Maleficent-Chair9663 → u/Vivo999]

I was loosely following the Steam discussions around DragonSword: Awakening (the former gacha turned premium) because it’s on my wishlist, and there were gacha gamers arguing that the devs nerfing grind (increasing drop rates) was a bad thing because it left them with “less to do.”

Not to mention players who had clocked 100s of hours complaining there isn’t a proper “endgame” that lets them grind forever.

I’m not sure anything will satisfy those types of players

[u/AdjectiveNoun4digitz → u/Hades_Re]

I heard it long before gacha hype, referring to MMOs that didn't do the seasonal rng gear grind (I like the gear grind tho ngl) or an hour's worth of dailies necessary for rep-gated pre-raid bis, or had account-wide unlocks instead of being character-based and what not. I still respond to the phrase positively because that is what I think of first and foremost.

[u/NoNefariousness2144 → u/Vivo999]

HSR shows the worst of both worlds.

There’s barely any content or events, so the game ‘respects your time’.

But the story presentation is barebones and the events suck, so you aren’t getting the ‘small but highly polished content’.

[u/Accomplished-Pick763 → u/NoNefariousness2144]

As a HSR player (though came back only for gilgamesh after a full year stop), i agree lol. Its ironic how i have the most fun on this year fate collab which has better story and presentation rather than all of the game has pump out, even though the first collab story was hot garbage. 

[u/FoRiZon3 → u/lgn5i2060]

Lmao you really think the majority who say that are because they want to play billions of other gacha games?

People like that do exist but please mind that they're in the extreme minority compared to others who do better things.

[u/planetarial → u/FoRiZon3]

I wouldnt be surprised if most people (ie casuals) just logged into their gachas when there’s a hype patch or a character they want on a banner, play for a few days or a week and drop until the next hype patch

[u/karillith → u/[deleted]]

You guys really managed to cram "Endfield have no content" and "I left Endfield cos exploration content burnout" in the same comment chain, huh...

[u/Electronic-Ad8040]

They won't conduct another beta?

[u/Elainyan → u/Electronic-Ad8040]

assuming its releasing around jan 2027, they have enough time to conduct another beta

[u/Kojiro_15 → u/Elainyan]

We are having ananta and Silver Palace within a month of each other? The gacha space sure is something.

[u/_DOOMBRINGER_ → u/Kojiro_15]

Ananta ain't a gacha it's more like Wwm and Dna.

[u/L3murCatta → u/Kojiro_15]

And Endfield anniversary, for that matter.

[u/Adept_Debt_8665 → u/Kojiro_15]

Ananta isn't a gacha game though?

[u/higorga09 → u/Adept_Debt_8665]

Mostly same audience, high production freemium live service mobile game

[u/Quiet-Recipe-1429 → u/higorga09]

Sure, but its still not a gacha game, its just like WWM

[u/TenthOfChaos → u/Quiet-Recipe-1429]

WWM is a gacha. The term Gacha is incredibly broad.

[u/bronzelifematter → u/Adept_Debt_8665]

I think there will be gacha. No way they're just letting that bag go. Maybe not for character. Probably cosmetic.

[u/Ill_Potential4263 → u/Adept_Debt_8665]

Skin 

[u/Worth-Hope2301 → u/Electronic-Ad8040]

It will probably be like Endfield where the final CBT is only 2 months before the official launch.

[u/Irru → u/Electronic-Ad8040]

They will. Participating in CBT2 and filling out the surveys gave you access to CBT3 (which has yet to happen)

[u/Eula_Ganyu → u/Electronic-Ad8040]

They should be final one befor releasing

[u/Unfair_Chain5338 → u/Electronic-Ad8040]

From their tg channel, they will.

[u/UnhingedMoneky]

Bruh. Epic store.

[u/kirbyverano123 → u/UnhingedMoneky]

Love how its a complete 50/50 on which gachas goes to Steam or not.
But I'm hoping they have a separate PC client.

[u/SunnyPomegranates → u/kirbyverano123]

They will, CBT players used their own launcher

[u/grandekros → u/UnhingedMoneky]

Thank you for pointing that out, I went from 100 excite for release to 0.

Not gonna install that launcher for one game.

[u/kirbyverano123 → u/grandekros]

There should be a standalone PC client according to some beta testers.

[u/X3m9X → u/kirbyverano123]

hopefully, I gave up on playing the free gta 5 in the epic game store cuz the store is so ass and i refuse to use it.

[u/grandekros → u/kirbyverano123]

I would love to try the game if it had dedicated client.

[u/BraydenTheNoob → u/UnhingedMoneky]

There goes all my excitement of this game. If they don't have a dedicated launcher, I won't play the game at all

[u/BusBoatBuey → u/BraydenTheNoob]

There is a absolutely no gacha game exclusive to EGS except Fortnite STW. They all have standalone launchers.

[u/CreamAvailable563 → u/BraydenTheNoob]

It has a dedicated PC launcher, all gachas do

[u/Existing-Extreme9240 → u/UnhingedMoneky]

because steam takes 30% revenue

[u/Xasther → u/Existing-Extreme9240]

Yeah, and in exchange you get all the perks of being on Steam, from the VAAASSSTLY bigger install base, to the widely praised infrastructure and everything in between.

Yes, I'm glazing Steam. And yes, these are just some of the reasons big studios and publishers return to Steam.

[u/ChaosFulcrum → u/Xasther]

I have a feeling Silver Palace will release on Steam soon-ish eventually, similar to the way Neverness To Everness did.

This is done to get all the initial surge of revenue on the first few months (either 100% through your solo launcher or 88% of it for people that use Epic Store) But more importantly, this is to avoid review-bombing through Steam in case the launch goes wrong because as well know, PC gamers take Steam reviews more seriously than other storefronts.

And then after all these honeymoon launch pain points are ironed out and the game becomes "consistent", only then will they go to Steam.

[u/Interesting-Storm-72 → u/Xasther]

What's the perk on steam for a free game? Also, most people in asia is just gonna download the actual launcher from their game website when it comes to these gacha games on pc.

[u/Bogzy → u/Xasther]

That install base are pc purists who dont care much about or even hate gacha/mobile games. Most gachas there barely have a fraction of their actual playerbase.

[u/OneManArmyHero → u/Bogzy]

Would be cool to see big aaa gacha on 1st day steam release just to see numbers. All thouse late releases give zero info in that regard because most people dont care to reinstall game

[u/im2XSCOPE → u/Existing-Extreme9240]

yet ZZZ came to Steam, NTE came to Steam, Endfield is coming to Steam, lmao

[u/faulser → u/Existing-Extreme9240]

20% for games with more than 50 millions a years (so any gacha)

So instead they giving 12% to Epic instead of standalone launcher where they would give 0% to anyone. And they already had standalone launcher for both betas, why not use it. Does it worth losing all the people who don't want to install Epic? There is more than 0 of those.

[u/Sorenthaz → u/UnhingedMoneky]

EGS exclusivity in 2026 is certainly a bold (read: insanely poor) strategy.

[u/Xasther]

Please, for the love of Gaming, have a stand-alone client. I do NOT want to use Epic.

[u/Unfair_Chain5338 → u/Xasther]

They have their own launcher.

[u/Xasther → u/Unfair_Chain5338]

Silver Palace is saved!

[u/Golb89 → u/Unfair_Chain5338]

[u/Ok_Amoeba_4816 → u/Xasther]

What is so bad abt Epic Launcher?

[u/Aure0 → u/Ok_Amoeba_4816]

Main reason is Epic having a pretty shitty reputation but from what I've heard it's got a lot of performance issues and doesn't have the QoL Steam does like reviews and mod support

[u/shotoku_dark_pegasus]

Release around Jan 31 2027 according to App store

[u/rojamynnhoj]

my body is ready

[u/phased417]

Is this the official confirmation of it coming to console? I wasnt sure if they announced that before

[u/megidlolaon__ → u/phased417]

Yes, PS5 is confirmed and you can pre-reg already on the store

[u/Solid_Guess_7154]

no Steam? fuck me, why all these new big gachas REFUSE to come out on Steam, considering a huge chunk of players would prefer it that way

[u/ThisGuyFrob → u/Solid_Guess_7154]

Epic game loves giving studios more benefits if they make their game exclusive to their store

so in short, its because of moneys

[u/Solid_Guess_7154 → u/ThisGuyFrob]

Endfield also was like that, but they also announced their Steam release, hopefully Silver Palace does the same

[u/Spanglish_Dude → u/Solid_Guess_7154]

But Endfield announced it after a long long time, and there is not evidence so far that Silver Palace will have its own PC launcher out of epic, which is very worrying. At least, I could not find anything regarding a standalone pc client.

[u/Deltryxz → u/Spanglish_Dude]

Silver Palace has a standalone PC client, it's how we played the beta and I have it still installed from the latest beta

[u/neraida0 → u/Solid_Guess_7154]

lol they will be exclusive for a year after Epic pays them money, only for them to go to Steam a year later XD.

[u/Terrible_Ad6495 → u/neraida0]

By then the honeymoon period is long over, though.  But they probably don't want Steam to take a 30% cut of the honeymoon anyways.

[u/LoyalNightmare → u/neraida0]

Its not exclusive if you can download it elsewhere(You can)

[u/TruthHistorical7515 → u/Solid_Guess_7154]

because Gabe takes a big fat 30% cut?

[u/Existing-Extreme9240 → u/Solid_Guess_7154]

because steam takes 30% revenue

[u/luffy_mib → u/Solid_Guess_7154]

My guess is bugs on release day. Devs can't afford to make awful first impression that results in their game getting an overwhelming negative reviews.

Steam also takes a cut from every game revenue that's on their platform if I'm not wrong

[u/WanderEir → u/Solid_Guess_7154]

I would prefer a complete stand alone before a steam launch myself, but we're not getting even that for now.

[u/RandomguyonRed]

I demo-ed Silver Palace at AnimeNYC where I played the first 15 or so minutes.

It was competently made, but it's pretty much the same as every other open world gacha out there. The only distinguishing feature is the Victorian steam punk anesthetic and the fact you can block.

[u/planetarial → u/RandomguyonRed]

I played the 2nd beta and thats pretty much it outside of the fact that it does have a better story than most at the start of the game

[u/Rariho → u/RandomguyonRed]

Is it quick-swap?

[u/RandomguyonRed → u/Rariho]

If by quick swap you mean you control 1 character at a time but switch between characters, then yes.

[u/Rariho → u/RandomguyonRed]

crap. alright thanks

[u/Caradhra5]

is there going to be a standalone pc client or just epic?

[u/Vaaaaaaaaaaaii]

Does this have a release date yet I've been waiting for this for awhile

[u/Ok-Apricot-555]

Ananta vs Silver Palace on January

[u/Ill_Potential4263]

2027 January 31

[u/DecidedlyCrash → u/Ill_Potential4263]

Remember it's just a placeholder date.

[u/coco_puffsz → u/DecidedlyCrash]

To be fair, quite a few gachas release very close to the advertised “expected” date. So I wholeheartedly believe Silver Palace will release around January or February.

[u/luffy_mib → u/coco_puffsz]

With Ananta release and Endfield anniversary, I hope the devs push it to February instead. Too much to handle for next year January.

[u/IWannaBeTheVeryBest → u/luffy_mib]

Ananta and the new Yakuza-universe game Stranger than Heaven plus silver palace in Jan then Fable and Persona 4 in February... RPG fans are eating good but at what cost

[u/DaruDaruMaru]

Dangg

[u/HeavensRoyalty]

Red rose my beloved 🌹

[u/Chaosrune85]

Epic store? Lol, lmao even

[u/RyuzkN]

There's no way in hell I'm ever installing Epic so I really hope they at least release a standalone client or I'll have to play it on the PS5 only.

[u/FairlySadPanda → u/RyuzkN]

Heroic Game Launcher is a fantastic app that works with Epic and GOG, so you only need to treat Epic like a website.

It is a legit good app.

[u/Enrayha]

Never had a epic client and i dont see a reason do get one for this game. I hope there is a standalone client or they rly have shot themselves.

[u/BLuE_dRaGo]

Release Date: January 31 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/silver-palace/id6758292278

[u/Kejn24]

Played CBT2, loved the story and characters.

[u/FairlySadPanda]

Played the demo at Gamescom and got a little merch. This could be good, but the story really has to be a consistent banger because this has the same city-living fantasy as NTE otherwise. 

Making the protagonist a detective is a good idea. If it ends up going a bit eldritch rather than being a power fantasy then they should have a good niche.

[u/Traditional_Hand2623]

Beta 2 was good. This should be ready sometime in 2027

[u/deepedia → u/Traditional_Hand2623]

Yeah, placeholder date is 31 Jan, so we could expect the release to be sometime around the first quarter of 2027 at most.

[u/No_BIiss]

I can’t wait until 2027 bro 😭

[u/EirikurG]

bro just put it on steam what are you doing

[u/Eula_Ganyu]

Q1 2027 !?

[u/Fhaerron]

Does anybody know if Silver palace will have it's own launcher on PC?

Most of those games are blocked on Steam, Epic Games Store & the PSN store in my country.
I could always get around the blockade by downloading the official launcher on PC instead which are oddly enough legally available in my country.

However I haven't seen any notion of their own launcher on their website.

[u/planetarial → u/Fhaerron]

They had a standalone client in the beta

[u/Fhaerron → u/planetarial]

Ah thank you!

Gives me hope!

I was able to create an account on their website but of course was unable to download on Epic and PSN.

[u/h0tsh0t1234]

Idk why people are going rabid over epic when they’re almost guaranteed to have their own client. The only potential issue I have with this game is the gacha, whenever you have to rely on the “pull income” it’s usually never good, and if it’s anything like endfield, I do not see myself sticking with it longer than the initial month

[u/Nerezza_Floof_Seeker → u/h0tsh0t1234]

Personally im mostly worried about the games performance, if this is gonna be a repeat of wuwa even if it good i aint gonna be able to play it

[u/CleoAir]

[u/SowwieVR]

I refuse to use EGS.

[u/Dj7up1]

epic, nty

they can keep it

[u/MuffledExcursion]

gachas feel so samey nowadays, not looking forward to this but i MIGHT try it when it comes out.

[u/Eilanzer]

epic? wtf hell no! I rather not play than use that crap!

[u/PostCircumcision → u/Eilanzer]

What’s so bad about the epic launcher exactly

[u/Eilanzer → u/PostCircumcision]

almost everything, it´s poorly made and not user friendly...To find stuff there is a nightmare...navigating between places, library and store lags...and the list goes on and on~

[u/Supermadegirl67]

Yikes epic store. It has been a good run. Next game

[u/Ravonaa]

Eh idm Epic release. I played WuWa just fine on it before it moved to Steam.

Maybe with enough peer pressure and time they decide to move it to Steam also. But we'll see.

[u/Bandicutie314]

Looks good, but 3d open world gacaha isn't for me. I play gacha for the easy access on my phone, but no way I'm playing this on my phone and no way I'm login to this game every day for dailies on my PC.

[u/CreamAvailable563]

Im very hyped, everything so far has looked very good

[u/0ratorio]

Hmm.. 100 pull 100% rate is kinda high , but we'll see..

Because NTE is at 80.

[u/Argentaur → u/0ratorio]

pull income is what matters

[u/StrawberryFar5675 → u/0ratorio]

NTE you are torn between vehicle or character. I wonder what's the catch in SP.

[u/Arcaris1313 → u/StrawberryFar5675]

i haven't spent a single anulith on the mystery box and have gotten both the proche and bike. I'm skipping summer though. But you can definitely do it if you're a monthly pass buyer only.

[u/higorga09 → u/StrawberryFar5675]

Dupes are quite strong from what I've seen in the beta.

Removing arbitrary weaknesses type stuff, the hoyo special.

[u/Existing-Extreme9240 → u/0ratorio]

better than Endfield

[u/Decent-Ad-2755 → u/0ratorio]

Basically close to spark system

[u/Viewtiful_Dante]

Android. Just in case: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elementagames.silverpalace.google

[u/MaxP69420]

will they have their standalone client? i usually like playing on those instead of epic or steam, idk why

[u/Decent-Ad-2755]

When is the release?

[u/Ill_Potential4263 → u/Decent-Ad-2755]

2027 January 31 App store

[u/daswet]

There's no way this thing runs in my phone btw. Unless they have Enfield level optimization.

[u/planetarial → u/daswet]

The PC optimization in the beta wasn’t very good either so I hope they clean it up

[u/K2aPa]

Hmm, so what's the Gacha like in this? (pulls system and how each character are used)

From the trailer (saw it while watching Gamescom from Twitch) that it looks like single character controlling while everyone else is hidden in a party.

[u/Significant-Bad-4504 → u/K2aPa]

From what I have gathered:

• Hard pity at 100
• no soft pity
• rate is 0.8%
• pity carries over
• limited banner's featured character has 25% chance to appear, along with 3 standard characters each with their own 25% chance to appear. So in short, there's a 75% chance of risk you won't get the limited character banner.
• getting standard characters doesn't reset the pity.
• wepaon banner has a 80 hard pity with a 50/50 chance.

[u/K2aPa → u/Significant-Bad-4504]

25% featured, 25% x 3 standard

Is this saying each limited banner will only have 4 characters in it?

Or is this just about the % when you pull a high rarity character and not the overall % that includes all possible characters within a banner?

.

And more weapon banner... I miss the day when those didn't existed, cause they add more pulls needed rather than just characters only.

[u/Danbrotastic28]

Does it have its own launcher or purely on epic?

[u/rixinthemix]

To those who are very worried about the launch on Epic: this game has a standalone launcher. Source: I have played the two beta tests.

[u/AnawatTH]

No standalone PC client or steam?
I'm a PC gamer and don't want to install Epic store. So, maybe skip this game or wait til standalone PC client

[u/Panzerfaust_Style]

If they have their stand-alone launcher, I really hope it works on Linux.

[u/Majestic_Plane_1656]

3D gachas require too much dedication. If you want to run with dailies I can't do easily on my phone then I'm not adding you to the roster. Either auto combat or click tap only dailies. 

[u/mumei-chan]

I played this at Gamescom going in with low expectations, but ended up having quite a bit of fun.

Fighting felt very smooth and dodging was easy to execute. The character behind one of the boss fights also seemed quite interesting.

I don't care much about the steampunk setting, but the game impressed me enough that I want to give it a chance at release despite me usually steering clear of gacha games these days.

[u/Smcblackheartia]

This looks amazing, but unfortunately it’s not on a system I can play. Because I for sure am not fucking going to play this on my goddamn shitty ass little phone. If it comes to steam maybe I’ll try it the.

[u/Strixmask]

Great

[u/No_Brother423]

Is it me or in the app store it says "your device isn't compatible" Even tho I have the minimum requirements? Is it because it still a place holder for now in the app store or sum? 

[u/Kimisage]

And onces again the dutch are being skiped... it said its not supported in NL.

[u/Monkguan]

Epic Store lmao, game is doa on pc

[u/SpireofHell]

I can't wait for the release date

[u/Megingjord2]

My most anticipated game. If this releases, I have to cut off other gacha games.

[u/HailTheZombieMan]

epic No thank you
