Technically and lore-wise that wouldn't be out of place in gfl

[@user-zezezozodarkdomains]

there once a gacha game that has that gameplay mechanic, it's called Eternal City, but you can't prevent the end from happening (and the game loops anyway) There's also dark events (which majorly debuffs your character)

@zennoix9984 this prolly some old mods for xcom game and some new mixed idk. Never played xcom before

[@NotSoMelancholy]

@@Shelyshocker yeah it’s mixed fan made GFL1 models and GFL2 models. GFL2 models and nicer and fit the visual style better (unless it’s specific xcom made stuff like 45 and M4 Mod3’s mods) but some of the proportions just don’t work out, so I use the GFL1 fan models to fill the gaps.

[@M16A1gaming]

X come on how did I missed that

[@manhphuc4335]

Man playing GFL2 and being a Xcom "vet" (because I haven't played the OG xcom yet) makes me kinda wish I was still playing as the humans. Sure the meme about 65% point blank or 99% miss lmao is true. The humans in xcom is just OBJECTIVELY a lot more overpowered than the T-dolls. And I'm not talking about the alien tech they scavenged. When a soldier get to colonel, they just becomes a spartan without power armor. And the thing is the xcom 2 soldiers are nerfed compared to xcom 1. Man I miss wiping the entire map with one flying snipy boy or blowing the entire building block with hand held missle, backpack grenade launcher or the absolutely lovely bladestorm one man army. Heck, I haven't even started on the hero faction yet.

[@collenjets123]

"GFL2 if it had gameplay" but it does?

[@NotSoMelancholy]

@@collenjets123 it’s okay we all believe gachas have real gameplay at some point. I love strategy games where the strategy is the monetization strategy and the games are “Did you pass the time gate to get the big enough number?” (but hey we ask you to vaguely interact with the game and you can do some content underleved so it must be the players big brain that solves it all instead!) But it’s also easy to not think any of this since obfuscation is the name of the game and no one actually looks into the business side of F2P/Gacha/GAS to understand how they work or the the goals the systems within them are designed to achieve. Everyone just has a simplistic idea that “monetization of F2P is just money and just ‘pls whale spend on expensive thing pls’ “. Medium’s 4 part written series on the economics of live service and the keynote from the Ubi/Gameloft monetization lead if it’s still up on monetization are great ways to peek behind the curtain though and explain the systems/strategies and how they’re directly tied to it’s game design/shape the gameplay in greater detail than I’d do justice (which because of the overlap in terminology people just apply the ideas they have from traditional games to them) And no monetization is not just how a cash shop looks and no it’s not just getting cash that’s the goal of the systems either. It’s a wall of text but no one actually looks into the business side after they learn the oversimplified “oh there’s whales and minnows” and god knows there’s no reason even beyond just the whole that like the feeling of number slowly goes up, big number = you are smart/powerful player! Especially in modern mobage where devs have learnt you have more success by being less blunt with your systems, so invest in obfuscating them instead through gameplay. You want your sold solutions (in time or money) to feel more like a solution that was planned by the player not the service.

[@BoxheadBB]

⁠​⁠@@NotSoMelancholytldr; all gacha games le bad ‘cause devs want money, player’s actions don’t matter lol (plus bonus title changes about something something gameplay) Look, I’m speaking as a person who really likes strategy games especially XCOM and the GFL (which is why I stumbled on this video before seeing all this), while some of you are saying is true, it is a very narrow viewpoint that is mixed with your biases. While the higher progression needs a “ bigger number “ and strong characters make the game trivial, the game itself doesn’t force you and even with stronger stuff in your account, you still have to use your brain to play, position, and use the skills of the characters, even the worst tier character can become powerful in specific “strategy “ without even have to spend a single real-life money (hence having a gameplay but it’s alright if you still only believe in your viewpoint) But it's okay, you don’t have to believe my bunch of texts. I don't have a degree in business, just some common sense that’s all. Have a nice day, you clearly need it.

[@Viberac]

GFL could be rock paper scissors and i could barely give a damn (to a certain point) the only reason i stuck around for 4 years is the story

[@BoxheadBB]

@@Viberac True, and with the GFL 2 budget that made them have a lot higher production like voice acting and animation making the story become even better.

[@than7831]

​@@NotSoMelancholyor you know, can we not look at gachas at face value? Gachas have gameplay now, they have a compelling story now, wake up it's not 2016 anymore, everything changed since Genshin went mainstream. It is a predatory system but other games are just as guilty with premium items and expensive skins, these non-gachas allow you to buy power directly.

[@those65]

Or the right one, eye of the beholder 😂

[@nohandlesplease]

I decided to try and recreate this mod list. Are these on the steam workshop? I'm finding it difficult to track down what you've listed.

[@NotSoMelancholy]

I tried putting them all in a mod collection on steam (hoping I didn't forget anything) and linked it in the description now so hopefully it's easier to track down! (I didn’t include the GFL faction mod though, as it’s pretty badly depreciated)

Where did you get the: " Dynamic Cell Shader shaders"?

[@NotSoMelancholy]

Edit: I put a link to it in the description now! it needs a little bit of messing around, to get it where you want it and I use it in conjunction with the 'Comic' shader (gives the thicker outlines for models' overall silhouette) that you get from the "anime shader" pack if you select it during the reshade install.

[@maxtruong187]

@@NotSoMelancholy Thank you i managed to make things kina work, need to mess around more. If you can give any tips for the variables in dynamic cell shader that would be great! Thank you!

[@NotSoMelancholy]

@@maxtruong187 For sure, (anything not listed is just using the default) for comic fx Comicfx>Edges: Color>Power, Slope: 1.00 0.57 (pretty much just used for thick outer outlines) for Dynamic Cel Shading Shading Mode: 3 Shade Distribution: 2 Because they're the dynamic settings it doesn't let you mess with the variables but it gives all around good results.
