Of all things they could have come up with, choosing to complain about pre-reg rewards being similar is wild. It’s so fucking forced and stupid that the bait isn’t even funny anymore.
Rather than real registration data (since we know they are all fake anyways), it actually reveals a bit of market positioning of the devs, namely both Endfield and NTE devs intend to position themselves as at least comparable to Wuwa (30M) and ZZZ (40M) level of launch hypes, but not some numbers outrageously high to be mocked, so they both chose 35M as middle of road positioning.
If I were to guess, Ananta might aim a little higher given its Netease background and somewhat more organic hype, whereas AP and Silver City might aim a bit lower given their niche.
Genuinely curious why Ananta is being received poorly in CN. Like I am personally not overly hyped because a lot could change upto release but current version that they have shown looks good I guess
other than what gabriel talked about, the game has been in development hell for years by now where they change the core concept and rebuild the whole thing every year (it's been longer than 3 years in total)
if a project change core concept every year, people having hope for it is just coping at this point, the only thing that hasn't changed is the bunny girl design but other than that, everything else has changed every year, even the gacha to non-gacha is new to this year (it was still gacha early 2025 on their "offline test")
some people have begun calling it a nepo-project cause after this many remakes, a project usually get axed (especially in netease) but this one is kept alive. i was kinda hoping for it on reveal year but not anymore, it kept getting nothing burger news until today and the tribalism radiating from that side is getting too annoying at this point
Company history (overpromising, high p2w, quickly eos'ing things) mostly. They have a few hits they don't handle badly but given how large they are and how many they pump out the odds aren't good, paired with the lack of progress shown compared to the time. Also some complaints about the reworks to gameplay and design.
Even if it suddenly starts making progress they'd likely be a bit wary given the record. But, even without those problems, it's over a year behind stuff it was announced at the same time as.
I'd like to be optimistic, but I can't really see it catching up in time.
Imo, Endfield's def feels more organic when you consider that the registration event has been running for almost a year now and it still has not reached 35m despite 12 days before release. Because the bar only really spikes when a big event hits, and most other games really would have hit their goals when so close to releade date by now.
Whereas in most other games, the bar climbs gradually which is not how it's supposed to really work unless theres a big event
33 million pre regs is still very impressive though if the whole is really organic.
Honestly the top text is so small and on a black background that i thought at the beginning that you just put the two images together and labeled as "meme"
I don't understand when making a funny post like this is hated and saying that it's ragebait, saying that it's like other pre reg but not even giving the example of other with same preregistration.
just checked for people who replied me, it's no wonder all of them are nte and tof players. and they still can't even give example game with the same pre registration milestones. even this 5 year old account came to post only here lol https://old.reddit.com/user/Excessiveten/
those people even creating a fantasy scenario about endfield vs nte while I just want to see people saying hotta is copying again.
it's not hoppa either, they were at 50 dev around this time, all their old pv were outsourced to other studio. their mistake were not being critical enough in vetting the PV
oh come on
when doing "haha copying" meme, at least put some effort into it
bro out here showing his true color. i thought you made the meme for meme and giggle, but then showed true intention, to slander the game. get out the kitchen bro, there's no pre existing beef between endfield and nte, HG and Hoppa, you just tried to instigate drama and trying to brigade ak fandom to attack nte with low effort bait
This is like the typical response of a chill proving that have less iq than operative braincells, "oh nooo they are cooking me, surely if i post this links will work" no bro, this not work like that
Going to the effort of posting on a 1d alt account because you're upset another attempt (there have been so many recently, and nearly all of them on new accounts) to try and ragebait the Endfield and NTE communities into fighting eachother didn't work, yes, I'm sure we're the upset ones here.
Simple, that tweet was moved in a lot of comunitties of the obvious fanbase, when ake showed their milestones i didnt see anyone saying nothin, or when infinity nikki said that they had 32 million pre regs i didnt see anyone saying nothin, is always this hypocritical rhetoric from the same ones demonstrating their cult behavior
i'm sorry if you're not but if you're the one that im thinking, the thing is you came from other fanbase and instigated hate out of nowhere and gathered people that need confirmation bias. it's really pathetic attempt while people from nte i've never seen trying to instigate the hate to other fanbase, especially put effort to other space just to shit on them.
nte hype while constantly doomposted by glb tribalistic gacha space, in CN, NTE got overwhelmingly positive reception. if you think NTE has no chance, on taptap NTE top enfield in all metrics (follower, reservation/pre registration, rating and currently rank one test/beta ranking despite new games announced beta). on bilibili NTE is 2nd most reserved/pre registered game, above all "hyped" games and only under endfield.
NTE on Bilibili:
Reserve/Pre-Registered by 1.848m Users (2nd most reserved game on Bilibili so far)
Followed by 1.65m users
Rating 9.4/10
NTE on TapTap:
Still Rank one Test/Beta popularity since Co-Ex announced
Reserve/Pre-Registered by 4.25m users
Followed by 4.25m users
Rating 9.0/10
NTE currently is up for fight for winning back to back TapTap award for second time, NTE currently only 0.06% vote difference with honkai nexus anima with 3% difference to 3 place out of tens of nominees
NTE also might surpassed the 5m followers milestone just by combining taptap and bilibili follower which will be 5.9m, this not even include glb social media and the rest CN social media
the hype is bad if you only sitting around circle jerking community who's trying to find confirmation bias with insecurity afraid other games doing good. if you ask "who NTE think they are?", the answer is clear NTE is game that extremely well received while doomposted by glb audience because they're so insecure about the existence of other game, while the game is thriving in china, the region where 40%-60% of most of gacha game revenue come from. if one region alone that part of 50% of entire gacha revenue spending hype for nte, it's enough rather than hyped by region that spend their entire life instigated drama and hyping up revenue chart while their lifetime spending on gacha game is $0

This has been the standard for pre registration rewards for years.. no?
And like why people even care, at the end of the day they will boost the number themselves to reach the rewards...
