What Does a Truly Atrocious Gacha Game Look Like?

[@Pseychie_NIKKE]

Hello everyone! Thanks for the feedback on this video. Looking at it again, I agree that the ratings scale for the reviews are a bit flawed, so I’ll explain my thought process at the time. All reviews on the Atrocious gacha review series will likely never get anything below a 6, since if I tried to play a game like this one, I’ll likely just drop it and a review will never get made, since I don’t see a point of playing a game I don’t enjoy. Even if I forced myself to play it for a month, I would be just reviewing it out of spite. For now, I can’t take back the video entirely, but I have trimmed the part where I mention the lowest rating would be a 5/10, and also edited the thumbnail to remove the numbers. The overall meaning of the video shouldn’t change, and this is just a one-off thing, but I will definitely reconsider the rating scale going forward

[@Jellomancy]

Just wanna say that I appreciate your gacha reviews that take a thorough look into the parts of the game that matter for this particular genre, I think it's a valuable resource.👍 That said, it is tough to understand a grading system that will only ever use 5-8 out of a 10-point scale that won't lead to misinterpretation. It's better to make a grading scale custom to how you want to convey your experience/recommendation, whether that be a more limited number range or a worded ranking (bad, OK, great, etc.). Since you were you already using essentially a 4-point system you could start there, but whatever you decide is up to you.

Try Illusion Connect sir, it was a nice gacha game... It deserves an Atrocious Review from you :)

[@FabricFather]

I was gonna comment on this the first time I saw this video, glad you’ve taken some feedback on it. Between the cut portion explaining the 5/10 being the minimum and the portion from iirc your limbus review saying that 8/10 was the maximum, I think a reevaluation would be useful. Even considering this comment, we can then expect that any future atrocious gacha reviews will be between 6 and 8, right? Which might as well just be 1-3 stars… That being said I’ve been loving your content since discovering this channel! Keep up the quality work; regardless of whichever rating system I’m always looking forward to your new videos 😊

reminder that 5/10 is average the game "functioning" is the bare minimum and does not warrant more than a 2/10

[@Megaman12Protoman14]

I'd argue having a game you can describe as functional and basically nothing else is the definition of a 5/10.

[@MrWilliGaming]

well he said in the end how his ratings are to be interpreted. his rating scale only goes from 0 to 5 and then he just adds 5 for whatever reason. so yea this is not a 5/10 this is a good ol 0/5

[@REIDAE]

Maybe that's how you interpret the 1-10 scale, but that's not how the vast majority of people use it. Games that get a 5/10 average reviews are always just really bad games that are barely playable. Any game that's average will typically garner around a 7.5. Even unplayable messes of abandonware without a story to speak of will get at least a 2 or 3.

[@isaacargesmith8217]

@@Megaman12Protoman14 functional and middle of the road arent the same. A "functional" game still can be very bad and usually are, mid can be more than functional and have things to like or a lot goin on. Mid just usually is either very polarizing, has a lot of flaws pullin its good aspects down, or its just average and not bad not good usually. Functional just means it physically works. Most games are "functional". The movie the room is "functional" like it physically works as intended but I sure aint callin that movie a 5/10. What isnt functional is something like sonic 06 where its absolutely broken and does not even work or a movie that feels is unfinished or kinda broke from their production. A movie that Id consider actually not functioning is the movie Cats. Its a bad idea that does not work, has blatently unfinished and bad visuals because the director had no idea how any of that worked and tried directing animation like live action, and it fundimentally is not a good adaptation of its much better source material.

[@asdion]

@@REIDAE Just because everyone is dumb doesn't mean you have to accept it.

[@DigitalStarry]

Tbh 5/10 for an “atrocious” gacha feels generous. Yes they made a game, but you might well make it a 1-5 scoring system instead of a 1-10 where have the score numbers dont exist. Personally I think there are good IP based gacha games out there (Tales of the Rays on the Japanese server is one and had a very healthy 7.5 years of life). But as you said, most of them are not great and are red flags since they just coast on the IP.

[@kazahana9679]

"I would never give below a 5 because no matter how atrocious it is, they still made a game here" Then what is the point of using a 10 point rating scale? "Hey I went to this restaurant and they served me rotten food that made me sick but I'll still give them a 5/10 because they technically still served me food."

[@Megaman12Protoman14]

In that example you'd go below 5/10 because food isn't supposed to make you sick. It's like if the game hade game breaking bugs and could barely get past the start up screen.

[@Permafrost1]

​@@Megaman12Protoman14 I think there isn't much point in reserving half of your scale for scenarios like this, having 2/10 being the bare minimum would do the job just as good imo

[@matrix3509]

The point of using a 10 point scale is because some games are fundamentally broken or nonfunctional in some way. 5 is literally average, meaning its functional but nothing else, how the fuck do people not understand this?

[@phantom-ri2tg]

@@matrix3509 The point of using a rating system is when multiple people rate it averages out the score. They use it for things like reviews though because people will whine if they don't. Moving the average down to 2/10 just gives a new problem. how are you supposed to decide how a game is good enough whether it falls for 3 to 10 on the scale? A lot of opinions on games are arbitrary as is. Not to mention if you like something there is pressure to not give it too low a score which can lead to scores being inflated.

[@Lemon_Squalo]

This is missing the context of how bad other games are. The level of atrocious some of these gacha games get is just embarrassing. Like for all of this game's flaws, it doesn't look awful on the surface, just looks like a generic anime tie-in game. Whereas other games definitely reach further into varying degrees of unplayability that make it hard to just lump them all at a 1-2/10. So realistically you could look at it as a -5 to +5 scale because a 5 in this case is the bare minimum of playability.

You'd never give a score lower than a 5? Then what's the point of a 10 point scale? Do a 5 point scale instead then, because you're essentially saying a 5 is equal to a 1...

[@dylangreen192]

He also said he'll never give a gacha a score higher than an 8, so unless he plans on reviewing non-gacha games, he might as well just use a 4 point scale.

[@mikonyx7712]

So what your saying to me, is for gacha games it's not a 1-10 system.... but 5-8...... What a worthless scale xD

[@phuhuhuhu8090]

I think you restricted yoursef too much with score for the game, you said that gacha games doesn't deserve score more, than 8/10, and now "bad" score for you is already 5/10, so scores of next reviewed games will be 5 (bad), 6-8 (good) not much use of the score system in general at this point.

[@kyuven]

yeah at that point it's better to use a 5 star rating system.

[@Yugira]

Im sorry but your rating makes no sense. It is generaly assumed that a 5/10 rating, means that the thing that youre rating is average and not that the thing simply exists (in this case, claming that they get a 5/10 because the game simply exists and was made). This is the equivalent of me having to do an exam, writing my name and a bunch of answers that make no sense and the teacher still passing me, because I went through the process of actually making the exam... If the thing youre reviewing is lackluster, bad, or underwhelming, then that thing should receive a lackluster, bad, or underhwhelming score, that matches it, and not a score that makes it seem like the product is average or acceptable in general

[@jpraczbr8413]

Don't forget it's a discount! "Original" price is $999.90... Which makes me wonder if that was ever priced at that or if it is fake discount and if it's fake one then is it even legal?

[@speedytrader5180]

​@@ZeroakaKiraTo answer your question, no of course the $1000 price tag is fake because the play store and app store only allow purchases for up to $110 give or take. That said, those fake discounts are also illegal (at least in the EU where I live) because they're fraudulent by nature, the only reason the discounts exist is because video games with micro transactions in general are largely unregulated beyond the age rating system.

[@byeguyssry]

I can understand not wanting to put any game below, maybe a 3/10? But having 5/10 be an "atrocious" game is, frankly, an atrocious system. Personally, I feel like a 5/10 would be something like, "Fun to play, but doesn't do anything particularly well or unique. You'd be better off playing other similar games instead", rather than having, like, 2 positive comments the entire video. Also, I really wonder what that 6/10 is...

[@KB35675]

Pseychie I’ve absolutely been enjoying this series and I’m super glad to have found your channel! Everything has been informative, well researched, and it’s nice to see gameplay of these gacha games that I personally would not otherwise play myself, but I enjoy learning about and seeing the different designs, unique gameplay, game mechanics, and art. But I have to agree with some of these comments that you might want to edit your rating system a bit. Having ranges within it that will never exist makes things confusing.. Like others said a 5/10 universally everyone will think is average and this game is.. definitely not average. I understand the system and all but you might want to tweak your rating system it a bit so your opinion is better understood visually as well :) Probably by either making the range smaller (others have suggested 5/5 instead), or just including the 1-4 by expanding the point distribution in your current system. The last thing any predatory, money-grubbing gacha games needs is undue praise (that and your money) Also the philosophy behind a gacha game never getting a perfect score tho I think is fine; It keeps things in perspective that these games only really want your money even if some of them do it better than others. Anyway, I’m very excited for the next video! I’m always glad to see a notification from your channel 😄

[@Pseychie_NIKKE]

Thanks for the good points! I took a look at the comments here, and I would agree that the range is a bit weird. The majority of the games reviewed will likely be in the 7 or 8 range, since if I took a look at a game that’s truly godawful, I would just stop playing, since there would be no point in continuing it; it wouldn’t even end up with a review. It’s obviously too late to change it now for this video, but I will keep it in mind going forward

[@the8u9]

The main issue isn't the grading system, it's that the game is dead. You can't rate a live service game when it is not live. Also I don't know if you've tried the game but pseychie is absolutely valid in that there is a game here. You can really see it when you play it, but then realize the devs abandoned it, so it will never be what it was supposed to be.

From the standpoint of someone who has played the game since launch (148+ days), I do think your opinions on the game really resonate with (what's left of) the game's community. Even of the state of the game, I think the game is really good (fundamentals wise), but I think the game is really lacking in content and things for players to do. The social media teams are very unorganized and I think the management and the drama that is happening with the companies behind the scenes is really hindering the game and preventing it from progressing any further.

As an avid fan of One Punch Man who's played every one of the games made for this so far including the other two app games and the fighting game I have to say... this shit is unplayable.

As a One Punch Man fan, let me tell you how this game could've been made. You could have King as the main character and he wouldn't be playable, much like Zenless Zone Zero 2 main characters. King in the series is this guy with godly luck, he is always in most events and goes through them unscathed. So he's the perfect character to situate the story around, they could then present the actual playable characters as the ones you actually get to play during events. And with King as the main character, that would've made the story have a lot of funny moments as well as naturally showcase each hero as you progress, more importantly it would also have Saitama, Genos and other characters show up pretty often.

next game i recommend you review is Sdorica, this is a pretty interesting gacha game. It made by Rayark, a game company famous for making rhythm game like Cytus and Deemo so the great have some really good music/ost. In term of story is really great it go deep into the char and there r even side story of each char as well. Unique thing of Sdorica is beside the "daily" farming there is no stamina system to do anything else, another great thing is how Sdorica tend to balance char directly or release a skill book that can be easily buy that change a char entire kit, rarity in sdorica don't mean much as every char can be raise to ssr status, many char in years 1 is still being top tier and use a lot even nowadays. And the gacha of the game is only worse part about it but i will let you exp as you play

I think there has only been one gacha game based on an existing IP that has done well so far, and that's "Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator". It's based off the JRPG Atelier series, and has characters from across the series history. It's also co-developed by Gust who are the original developers of the series. The gacha can be brutal at times, but you can select any current and existing limited character you want after you do 150 pulls, and the points towards that guarantee is permanent and never goes away. It also has great production values, an original world with an original story/characters, and all that has been very well executed so far. They recently wrapped up "Part 1" of the game's main story and a part 2 is planned in the near future, so I think the game is still going strong.

4:17 this is literally the cinema minigame from Yakuza 7. Exactly the same, they didn't even try to hide it

[@TheBiggBopper]

As much as I like your content, I feel like the rating system is flawed, this should be below a 5 tbh

[@conneryechout7143]

The game is dead, still to this day they havent put out a new limited character

[@ardee9337]

Hey Pseychie, can you do Solo Leveling next? I mean you already tackled OPM world, might as well do another anime based gacha game

[@frudthegamer1012]

amazing video as always pseychie. its a shame what they did to one punch man as nothing more as a name you can cash in for. but i want to know how did 5 become the low standard. i would asigned 2 or 3 as the low standard. where 1 is the game gets you in, 2 the game moves around nicely and 3 is the game as some replaying or intriguing features. or 4. being the game is on par to those game ads you have on other free mobile games. but you really are putting that phycology major to work

[@arikadogenya527]

I can say, the game is pretty fun but the monetization is pretty outrageous. Do you think genshin 1600 primos is too expensive? Well, this game almost double the cost and hardly giving you anything. The moment I see the gacha cost, I already knew its gonna be bad

[@Blackcloud288]

Holy CRAP, they straight up ripped off the movie theatre minigame from Yakuza 7.

[@H250V]

NGL, if not for the monetization and the game just being pretty bare in places, probably would have checked it out. Smile Man - aka Japanese Chapulin - did seem cool enough to me (plus I like the concept of being either a guy in the Hero Association or one of it's main members having to recruit your team members in order to fight villains. That's basically what you do in other games, but with a different flavor).

[@someignorance]

Just an FYI, Limited Banner Pity does carry over from banner to banner. It wasn't in the game at launch, then after they released atomic samurai they updated it afterwards... then it was bugged and people had to put tickets in to get Amai Mask when they should have gotten him... After that they finally fixed it

[@gastergamer510]

As someone who has played opmw almost every day since launch, f2p, max level, I do think this is the best official opm game ever released, but in comparison to any other game made, that doesnt mean its fortunately any special. I do think its a good game but its just, average, and sadly average is what i think is the best opm game we have

[@owlflame]

As someone who plays lots of gachas, the low rates for existing IPs will never not break my heart. Like Fate is a 0.8% chance for the rate up max rarity unit. It always feels so stingy.

[@sponge563]

Love your reviews!

[@mariox204]

Smile doesnt appear a lot in the main series coz is just a reference i think is very similar to "el chapulin colorado" a comedic Mexican superhero that uses red clothes with a heart yellow logo in his chest and his primary weapon is a squeaky hammer

[@ophisidian]

please review dislyte! i really enjoy the diverse designs and stories. personally, i think they're really generous with beginners rewards, but i do feel like it's lacking in event contents and daily tasks. i also would like your opinion on the pvp, and if there's any unfair powercreep

[@EpiKnightz]

Review Aether Gazer please, truly a gem in my opinion.

[@upisaurus]

[@PrinceVinc]

4:26 makes sense since he does not have any Powers, he is just a normal gamer with a Scar.

[@calderaxia]

I think, I mentioned this somewhere but Tatsumaki's ultimate in this game highly resembles Luna:Laurel's from PGR. I think the game takes heavy reference or copies from other medias too, so I'm keeping an eye out for the funny Ctrl C+V moment

[@kateliza8922]

4:14 unironically, that's basically King 💀

[@Faiqal_x1103]

You're right LMAO

[@gamerz768]

15:20 "atleast theres a game here" what kind of stupid take is this?

[@Faiqal_x1103]

Man i remember thinking the tutorial boss fight with pajama saitama to be absolutely TOP TIER. Then the quests after that felt so lackluster, i was thinking will it ever get as good as the tutorial?? Sadly i never touch the game since so i wouldn't know

[@KarasuMayonaka]

Should cover more cash grabs like this

[@dylangreen192]

As someone whose first gacha is Limbus, a $90 selector seems insane to me. The $11 limbus battle pass gets you enough weekly shards through mirror dungeons to select a 000 unit or EGO around once every 2-3 weeks.

[@Ghostaur]

This video is lowkey a Brown Dust 2 ad.

[@Fgtr4Life]

That pink silhouette is giving me astolfo vibes. Interested to see what the next stripdown is going to be on. 👀

[@kyotheman69]

last month it made only 25-30k i believe they did one good month like over million, it tanked so far, serves them right i hate Crunchyroll gaming, they make shit over monetized games, Street Fighter was insult as well

[@juanrodriguez9971]

I rarely ever play a gacha game, the only one I have been playing constantly is Mario kart tour, which stopped being gacha a long time ago lmao, so learning about how people sees 90 dollars prices as acceptable is stupid crazy to me, at that point I would be investing in a Switch or a Switch clone that can emulate higher quality games sold for 40 dollars. I honestly want to play Genshin, looking at the gameplay it looks like a fun game I wouldn't even remember I have to pay for new characters, I feel it could be different from everything else in the gameplay department.

[@naschaos25jxf57]

FYI the reason the game is in a bda shape is cause the developers had bad development problem. During the remote work during the pandemic a lot of staff were not doing their work and were later fired once found out. They are understaff so they outsourced development to other studios. There are several leaks both codes and footage of content that will be added invluding guilds and pvp. They dont really care for global atm cause the main investors are the chinese who dont have their version of the game out yet. We expect something in july since its will be half anniversary. They already paid server space for a year so dont expect it to get shutdown anytime soon.

[@elcanaldemasterman5500]

For me the only one thing whos bad is that... Theres not upgrades or new characters and its so expensive

[@rizonza5060]

Hey man, This is the first video I watch from you I gotta say I'm liking what I'm seeing here. Although I long quit playing Gacha, there're still some game that I really enjoy back in the day. Could you please review "Fist Of The North Star Legend ReVive" Next ? It's another game depend on an IP that's probably long forgotten by people yet it's about to have it's 6 years anniversity soon. It's one of the Iast game I played before quiting the genre, and I remember throughly enjoy it.

[@futanahriadventures]

Anything Crunchyroll touches is doomed to fail. The record just keeps on getting bigger.

[@sirngao]

if crunchy roll is invole then it will not have a long life span cause look at their history with publishing game they tend to close down in 2 or 1 year

[@JoaoJMatias]

"this is the first time i've seen this" talking about not having banner rate up. Never played Summoner's War? It was always like that initially, and now they SOMETIMES have banner rate up

[@legomotion77]

The fact that $99 for a single character in a game doesn't sound awful is horrifying to hear as an outsider to gacha. That's more than a full game and I hate it

[@lurker91]

maybe i'll download it to play as the chapulin colorado for a moment and laugh. that's all

[@imafish3390]

I always have low expectations on anime gacha games, they always feel like cashgrabs no matter how much people say its good.

[@lofidante1778]

For IP based gatcha games, I'm curious what he would make of Warhammer 40k: Tacitus. Though it seems to have some IP based weakness, (lack of story, very expensive to whale) but I would argue is quite f2p friendly, has lots of free content, and frequent events. As a strategy game it is also different genre then alot of these other games.

[@kyotheman69]

i have never seen a good warhammer game that isn't tactical/strategy game

[@malcovich_games]

​@@kyotheman69 try Vermintide (horde shooter), Blood Bowl 1/2 (sports game) edit: wait, these are warhammer classic not 40k, in case it matters

[@WinterHE]

I used to play GBF a lot and until one of our guild leaders lost his mind over guild wars, at that moment I started playing Arknights (on release) and now I'm not touching a gacha game with lower than 6% drop rates and weapon gacha. Weapon gacha and rates below 6% are an automatic no-no for me. I did like Brown Dust 2 tho, but yeah, I dropped it very fast.
