Boring Dialogue in Gacha?
748 View2024-06-05As a person that mainly play AK as my main gacha where People have been talking about the way Arknights delivered its story to the players for years, as I can recall. And most of the arguments have been the story is too convoluted, the dialogues are too philosophical to understand, even the most common NPC can talk like Socrates....but I kinda like it!!!
I dunno, maybe because I am a huge sci-fi nerd myself, i dived into many sci-fi novel and enjoy reading large novels more than anything, but I see no problem in the writings of the game. The dialogues can be convoluted and cryptic, sure, even i can see that, but i think that is part of the charm.... I mean that what differentiate AK story with other gacha I play so far.
I read through many gacha game dialogues like Genshin Impact (which have it's moment when the writing really good), Girls' Frontline (third favorite Mica do know how to make political story interesting) and Limbus Company (second favorite canto IV, V and VI is hella epic). all of them have great story and great moment but none has left such a positive impression on me like Arknights did with the whole grand tragedy that is the doctor.
And one more thing i think worth mentioning is that i like the fact that AK story can be very philosophical... when it needs to be that way. The main story, obviously needs that since it is the main focal point and the main thing that drives the entire game forward... The best example is Chapter 8 where everyone's and their grandmas suddenly have a PhD in philosophy. Another best example is Lone Trail which IMO is the Magnus Opus of AK story second only too maybe Babel which have some of the most Heartwrenching scene I seen in gacha.
For that reason I'm kinda curious of why some people here as far as I know tend to want to skip story and have a low opinion against some gacha game story like the newest I see here is that people have very low opinion with Wuwa story I seen people complaining about AK story here too before......Since I thought people will be entertain with Arknights because of the way it was written and the philosophical dialogues, so when I heard people were annoyed with that I was genuinely surprised, so this post is meant for that, I really want to know.... Or you can talk about your gacha story in general what make your gacha story/dialogue entertain to read?

Great art, music & va but just like others gacha this game early story is boring, the characters so bland that even with good va i can't feel the soul in it.

idk how to describe my love for the storyline of Arknights
I love Arknights and I regard it as the best gacha game I ever played.
Guide Ahead.
Basically it was the story that made me fall in love with this game. Though I admit that I barely read stories nowadays, I slowly went back to it because I finally reached Victoria arc (the arc that I really really wanted to read back when Episode 10 debuted; because politics).
I come from other gachas like fgo, feh or genshin where I am very much used to certain story structures in events that get EXTREMELY repetitive and boring. As well as the fact that they never stop shoving the main cast down your throat, despite those typically leaning more on the boring side.

Most gacha games have boring storylines, or storylines aimed at teenagers/children. If a game actually has a decently written story I don't skip it.

what makes a dialogue entertaining to me hmm. Well me personally I don't like reading unless it's accompanied with visuals like movies etc. so if the visuals or like characters animation and facial expressions and personality is good then maybe dialogue become entertaining, but also when the dialogue is doesn't have too much filler.
