IJN WWII boatgirl simulator. It's basically the new 2hu as it only attracts artists and secondaries.

The main difference between the two is that touhou actually requires a certain amount of skill while kancolle only requires you to do your dailies and pray for the RNGkaze to blow your way.

All wrong. It takes place in the future after a mysterious "race" known as abyssals surfaced from the oceans and killed all man on or near it. The abyssals were the spirits of the ships and their crews lost in wars most prominently WWII.

The girls are just regular high school girls but they've as
>>285724854
said, channel the spirits of long lost WWII ships so in body they're little girls but in mind, they're the hulking floating war machines they were. Some of them remember their past as is evidenced by their quotes (for example nagato remembering the flash that was the bombs at bikini atoll)

They're outfitted with the latest in technology and fire power so they go out there an fight as the ship that they think they are with all the fire power and 1/10000ths the size and 1/1000ths the personnel.

It isn't a WWII recreation or whatever, they're fighting to take the seas back from the abyssals. All other countries did the same as well. And the reason why you don't see american ships or british ships or such is because they're defending their country just as the kanmusus are defending japan.

Kantai Collection is a shitty RNG facebook game equivalent that panders to awful people by having a massive, all female cast of various body styles and quirks with the only male being your own admiral. You get to marry your boatgirls for real money.

Oh, and it references WW2 naval stuff, but without actually being WW2 since they're fighting evil alien monster ship girls instead of countries, but it's really a flimsy excuse to draw cute girls.

It does decent but its centric around figurines, merchandise, manga, LNs, and other stuff that players splurge on.

Yeah fan anime you autist and it doesn't go longer than an episode. Stop using it as an argument comparing it to an officially sponsored anime.

The implications of an official anime are entirely different. I need to give it to zun to not sell out, I guess he's happy as long as he has booze.

Pacific made everything for babies even auto leading ship targets for you and pointing out weakpoints. Then the multiplayer is just pump out units until you lose when Midways was "You lost a ship you're fucked" and required more strategy then just popping out units.

Just look at google trend and you'll see that Kancolle won't last.

Yes it's at its peak right now because the anime is airing. Anything similar broadcast on TV nationwide in Japan will trend anyway. Just before the anime it was declining sharply.

The amount of KC doujins released at last Comiket was still lower than the one before. Yes Touhou declined as well and KC overtook Touhou, but the only fact that KC wasn't on the rise at C87 is concerning.

Also consider that KC is receiving millions in Marketing money from jewdokawa and DMM. Yes I can make any turd trend if you give me a marketing budget like that. KC had collabo with big companies/brands even in 2013 already like Family Mart.

Meanwhile Touhou is declining really slowly and is rather steady despite being nearly TWO DECADE old and made by a single guy.

It sounds more like you never played Pacific. Considering the main complainments and the quite vocal ones on their forums was how arcadey and unrealistic Midway was despite billing itself as a real-time naval combat simulator in terms of damage, asthetics, physics, and everything else.
>I browswed the official forums when pacific came out everyone hated it.
Funny, because I was there when I preordered Pacific and most people were complaining about the lack of babying in multiplayer when it came to firing accuracy and the complexity of submarine combat despite the improvement made over how awful it was in Midway.

So in short, you are full of shit.

Kind of hilarious you keep claiming this when it only leads to where you "SHOULD" shoot and not holding your hand while sustained barrages actually increase your chances of making critical or even glancing strikes and the game doesn't tell you have to reduce speed to get more accurate fire on other vessels.

But go ahead, keep claiming otherwise.

Which is ironic given that pacific went full arcade and made the gameplay worse.

>Funny, because I was there when I preordered Pacific and most people were complaining about the lack of babying in multiplayer when it came to firing accuracy and the complexity of submarine combat despite the improvement made over how awful it was in Midway.


how the fuck was submarine battles complex? it was 4 depths each with it's own use and the strategy to stay hidden along with launching torpedo's undetected was easy to do but hard to master

>>285736242
The aiming was just put your cursor over the ship and 90 percent of rounds will hit, it made destroyers incredibly fragile and useless besides submarine detection, the auto-aim was dead accurate unless you were doing evasive manuevers.

>>285736743
Eh not really. If anything, the game is wanking the shit out of Kriegsmarine/German fleet girls. Yorktown, Enterprise, Johnston, Iowa, South Dakota, and Washington are the most likely to be introduced when American fleet girls show up.

>>285737307
Its sounds more like your making shit up ad naseum. You put your cursor or marker over an enemy ship, it will automatically attempt full barrages and volleys while missing every shot even at close range.

The arcadey bullshit is Midway, not Pacific. The shots, ranges, accuracy, and auto-aiming was most prevalent in the former, not the latter and I'm getting more and more convinced you never actually played Pacific.

>majority of players on their forums and gamefaq message boards talk about how much better air combat is with planes and better balancing between American and Japanese fighters
>overwhelmingly positive consensus on how destroyers are viable threats to larger capital ships like heavy cruisers and battleships or carriers with retooling of torpedoes
>game balances torpedo OPness with making accuracy an issue of angle, speed, drift, and depth when fired
>submarine combat drastically retooled in general

Nah, Pacific shits on Midway in every way possible and your still wrong about the BS with auto-aiming.

>>285736645

I'm saying it's what it would probably be like if they were introduced. Our navy is almost literally held together with duct tape

>>285737307
Except Midway is an arcade navy combat game. There is no balance to it, and auto-aiming is a claim you have to stop fucking making. The game tells you where to aim manually; engines, magazines, and fuel. The game then forces you if left alone to auto-fire with mass attacks that will miss and do only splash or light damage even with heavier class warships against lighter ones.

Meanwhile Midway has absolutely no penalties with range or distance when it comes to accuracy or damage output.

>mobage = all mobile gaming
That is the correct definition, what are you going on about?

>>285742528
Not >>285742336 but most of them are anyway. Kancolle is no exception it works exactly the same way.

Granted it's not as P2W like shit like Pazudora (PAY TO FREE REVIVE) but still, almost all players are spending money on Kancolle at least for getting two extra repair docks, and increasing inventory size.

And you are forced to pay for them, you cannot get free MTX currency.

Check your PvP opponents and tell me how many inventory slots players have in average. Often 160~180. That's ¥6,000~¥8,000 spent per user. Add 2 extra docks that almost everyone has, you're looking at every user spending 10K in average and I'm not factoring the ¥700 needed to marry shipfu. That's an awfully high ARPU for such a game.

Yes you can't have whales spending $1,000 a month like on PAD or Clash of Clan (we all know that buying resources is utterly useless).

Still the business model of KanColle is just a slight improvement of a shitty model. It's still shitty in the end. And don't tell me that some players never spent money on it. Find me Lv100+ TTK with 2 docks / 100 inventory slots and only one girl wed. And even if there are few players that do not spend money, all those players who marry automatically all ships at level 99 counterbalances that. It's a fucking ¥700 PER SHIP.

At least the amount you can spend is finite I guess, slight improvement over other freemium garbage.

Most of the games involve the Shrine Maiden, Hakurei Reimu, and a Magician, Marisa Kirisame, dealing with rowdy youkai or stupid humans doing stupid shit.

Due to the nature of the series (ZUN's absolute refusal to go commercial), the fanbase generates content ranging from manga to anime to full-blown quality fangames. They also generate mountains of buckets of porno, shit's unreal.

The guys defending it are faggots from /a/. They were actually getting buttmad at this thread in the shitcolle thread in /a/

Wait, so mobage in the west = a company, but mobage in Japan = mobile gaming?

>>285744382
It's not the correct definition. Fuck Yahoo Japan "Mobage" games offering is exactly like DMM ones.

Even if they're played in a browser and do not have a mobile version (iOS/Android), they're still called MOBAGE in Japan.

Check milihime, it's a mobage, it's literally KanColle with tanks...

>>285744041
It is mobile gaming but yeah Kancolle is not a mobage since it is to be played on browser rather than as mobile apps.

>>285743191
And I stand by it. Like >>285744297 says, most of the top mobages are very similar and I was referring to them when I said Kancolle follows their model.

If you really want me to specific, I can name drop games for you but my point remains the same: Kancolle is basically like those freemium mobile games.

>>285744580
No different than 2hufuckers from /jp/ that hate the game for the silliest reason.

>the main character is a 12 year old in a thong

no.

>>285744659
It's an abbreviation. Ge is short for "game" pronounced the Japanese way, so people use terms like "eroge" for erotic games and "kusoge" for shit games. No guesses what kuso means.

>>285744382
It's a technical contraction but honestly the vast majority of shitware mobage Japanese people are playing are of the >>285741296 variety.

>>285744398
That's not even pay to win so much as it's pay to collect the cards you like. There's no need to keep the 80 or so terrible destroyers you don't care about.

Not all freemium games are mobage. A large number of PC MMORPGs from Korea and China are freemium, for example.

>>285744659
Pretty much.

>>285744749
Learn some Japanese first and then come back.

Yeah I wonder what all these games are. I wonder why they're under y! mobage since they can only played in a browser for the vast majority of them.

>>285745016
>There's no need to keep the 80 or so terrible destroyers you don't care about.
Yeah right, again find me level 100+ TTK with 100 ships only and 2 docks.

You just fucking can't. You are forced to pay if you want to progress decently. No one is paying to "collect" girls, who the fuck cares about collecting shit. It may be called KanColle most of players just want to progress, grind and keep on progressing. You quickly come to a point where you can't collect shit anymore anyway besides the few ships added once in a while. This is like Gen 1 pokemon after you played it for 2 years except it got small incremental updates.

Yes it's not directly P2W like most of freemium shit, still the game business model is extremely good at forcing players to spend money.

>>285745935
They won't. Musashi is 1 km underwater and well within the Sibuyan Sea. The Prince of Wales which was looted by chinks is only 68 m underwater.

>>285744750
>It is mobile gaming but yeah Kancolle is not a mobage since it is to be played on browser rather than as mobile apps.
To be fair, certain browser games are actually officially labelled as mobages. I don't know if Kancolle is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was called that anyways.

>>285746143
I can't even access that site without a phone.

>find me level 100+ TTK with 100 ships only and 2 docks
Most people who get to that point are the kind of people

>>285746143
>Yeah right, again find me level 100+ TTK with 100 ships only and 2 docks.
That's because most people who manage to sink thousands of hours into this game don't mind spending some money on it. Like, you could have spent that five hundred hours earning ten thousand dollars instead.

>Yeah right, again find me level 100+ TTK with 100 ships only and 2 docks.
That's because you have to be a fucking obsessive to be level 100, in which case you're going to pay money. I've been playing for two and a half years casually and I'm still level 99 (the only map I'm not able to clear is 5-5 but that's honestly just bonus shit for super-grinding autistic faggots).

>>285746537
