Still on the topic of "filling in the void", I HAVE to cover Genshin Impact because of the whole western corruption and eagerness of the Asian market. One side slacks, another picks it up. Red51 may hate me for this because I'm advertising a game, though it's on a note of developer corruption. I still respect Red51, though feel a strong necessity to post this just to make note of a certain point, probably going over various peoples' heads.......

Part 6: Conclusion:

Part 1:
I can agree people love the whole surprise factor when it comes to winning prizes. Rising World has it through finding chests, biome generation, etc for looting while other games has it for characters themselves. Thankfully, you don't spend real money for Rising World's form of 'gacha'. Like gambling, you eventually obtain what you loot, even from a bandit or fishing. F/GO has the worst gaming mechanics, and is even xenophobic to the point they region locked, IP banned, and all the random nonsense. KanColle was my actual main game from the Japanese side dealing with in game RNG Gacha to the point it became too salty. RNG mechanics no longer was RNG, it was scenario based to the point your actions no longer mattered. Those Japanese forgot what fun was making game mechanics so painful to the point you could legit obtain a stroke, or even a heart attack. It's because of KanColle's forgettfulness of what "fun" is that others and myself both migrated to Azur Lane and Genshin Impact, now happier for a more addicting gameplay. I do spend money, I try to be sensible. I try to limit to my limit instead of going over my monthly earnings limit.

Part 2 & 3:
With our world being cruel and monotoned at times we desire an escape. Games are our escape, hence why morally corrupted individuals constantly want to hijack it to preach at us, something Asian media simply focus on entertainment. We want to be free, or seek beautiful things. We love admiring the feminine form, the gorgeous sakura trees, or even whatever Rising World has to offer. The landscape, the vehicles, our own proudly built structures, or even default ones, and etc. Movies, cartoons, anime, etc are now our main escapism because people are now morally politically corrupted. Isekai genre in anime is a big thing allowing people to visit landscapes and worlds they otherwise wouldn't; A temporary bubble. Even examine "what if" scenarios.
Both KanColle and Azur Lane allow us to see warships in their humanoid form as we take command and battle the enemy with them. Becoming appropriately intimate with vows & rings. Nothing more, though there is more in the form of lewdness, that is simply natural when it comes to human procreation. As with Rising World, we love hiding away in our own version of the world doing our OWN thing. Our own pace, etc. As with Minecraft, now Rising World, we love doing our own thing. Exploring
Genshin Impact rewards you for exploring every inch of the land. Looting, harvesting, swimming, gliding, climbing, etc. Scenery is beautiful. The view distance is far and wide attracting you to visit far off lands. Something we're also bound to see in Rising World (unity) "soon". Can't wait to have these sorts of beauties unchained when it comes to Rising World Unity version.
With how political everything has become, as with entertainment becoming gradually more and more taboo, people are finding it harder to enjoy pure entertainment. Everything is becoming a sin, and taboo to the point everything is "no fun allowed". People gaslight, people void other peoples' opinions. It's horrible. Genshin Impact (as with Rising World, AND Azur Lane) allow us to hide away from these SJW political freaks pushing their various agendas, and any other external negative threat. Don't believe me? View how Manga is outperforming DC & Marvel comics in America. People want to escape to more beautiful environments uncorrupted by mentally corrupted clowns and their school/workplace. People want to enjoy the serene beauty of a gorgeous landscape, proper characters, cool music, and awesome features. No politics, nothing. If politics, has to be own lore related, as it naturally goes. Corrupted SJW clowns keep interjecting games has politics. Yes, but not their stroke-inducing nonsense. Genshin Impact is fun, as is Rising World, and any non-political game.
There is a reason Anime & Manga is outperforming anything American, as with Asian games. Westerners lost their passion, I simply wish they would regain their lost intellect and creativity. Everything feels stunted.

Part 4:
In a world where entertainment is "sin", we constantly desire beautiful viewpoints and enjoyments. I admit I fall under the "waifu" bandwagon having claimed my fair share of "favourite" feminine characters all because the real world appears to lack actual females in it. It's only natural to admire these fictional characters (both male and female), to the frustration of morally corrupted woman out there. The fake SJWs shaming, forgetting we live to procreate, impress/court, and to allow another generation to live on. We seek mates, to share experiences. We seek friends to feel companionship, something "friendship" is viewed as "lewd" or "gay". There is no loyalty in life, or little. Best friends are viewed as "lovers".... Such a cruel world prevents genuine friendships.... With these waifus in mind the next best thing are "friends" in the real world, or even waifus in the anime world when you're socially shunned constantly for no real proper reason. People gravitate to beauty. Not purely anime as people have been found going female companions in western games with Raid Shadow Legends, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, etc. I admire all my "waifus" in Azur Lane as they come off as more human than the actual human folks in my world. More engaging, inviting, and playful. This ties in with Part 2 & 3 as SJWs taint the world with monotone workplaces while people seek beauty in life. Like paradise... Indiana Jones finding treasure.
We love seeking beauty in the world. Seeing gorgeous waifus (or man, for woman) is similar to taking a stroll through the forest as it recalibrates your body to natural frequencies, something hippies also corrupted. We've lost our way in life. I love raising my shipgirls in Azur Lane, as much as I love leveling and ascending them in Genshin Impact. They have this charm that tends to be lacking in the real world as relationships tend to lack various elements. Everybody is too cruel and lengthy with each other.
There is a reason why we love our waifus. Asian developers know how to tap into desire while North Americans have been found to be skittish. Afraid. Everything is "abusive", even someone who French-Canadian and woman. Asians love being "showy" while North Americans come across as being more painfully "reserved". I recall when European woman were expressive in various ways, now they're just as corrupted as any North American. It's depressing. Hence, why people seek out waifus in games and other outlets because real woman failed them.
(This art is a fan-made interpretation of what HMCS Yukon would appear as. It is indeed awesome, it however lacks certain charms due to the artist's fears of how "lewd" other shipgirls are. Woman aren't allowed to be woman, hence why this art comes across as lacking various charms. It is impressive, and I do respect it, though Chobitsu noted in a comment how they dislike how Bremerton was mostly swimsuit while Yukon had to be tattered and rugged. Fears ruin art is my point. Asians tend to be more expressive, and are shunned by westerners for that.)

Part 5:
Gachas are indeed cruel, though gain a necessity in longevity and server costs. I hate gachas because they tend to stunt the gaming industry, especially World of Warships when it comes to 'Silent Hunter 3' type open world games. Everybody tends to copy World of Warships, not Silent Hunter 3 for inspiration. It sucks. Without gacha though these games may not survive on casuals, though there are steady streams if game is fun. Genshin Impact has proven to be fun, hence the support. Same with Azur Lane, and actual games with proper gameplay elements. These two games have constant trending hashtags how people admire them. People love it, also because it isn't political with fake western politics. It is a proper escapism, and you can even play the game for free. I love the music. You always see SJWs hating on Genshin Impact because it does not kneel to their desire, as with how Anime refuses to lower itself to these corrupted morons. People love their escapism, as do these games, even if it's simply exploitative for business. We are aware it is exploiting us, though it also rewards us with their charm, characters, and other elements.
The game constantly updates with new features, minigames, characters, among other coolness. I love Genshin, even if it's sadly stuck in online mode. I wish you could play it in offline mode, though people would hack the game to mod in characters they wouldn't have, etc. It's a touchy subject. You need to sadly play this with an active internet connection, something Rising World beats any day. Co-op mode is nice, but only for farming items, bounties, and small things. No partnering in a quest or story mission.

(Gacha, at its worst and finest. A necessity to keep games alive.)
Just look at that beauty! Rising World can compete in the landscape department, and the music, sadly has yet to do the same in the character department. Rising World needs to do real work to allow beauty found in the Asian gaming market when it comes to teaseful and appealing characters of both genders. Rising World has made progress. Once red51 and friends nudge customization to this level Rising World shall do so much better, as with any other game also. Modding is where Rising World shall shine and I strongly hope it will take full advantage of it by tapping into the Japanese and Chinese modding community. Swimming, climbing, gliding.... Yeah. Music especially. Fighting, combat, farming, housing...... Even taking care of your companions as you get to know them. Key features. It is all important.

Western game developers need to relearn how to make games fun, and less political again. Games need to be made for fun again, not for political speeches to put down players saying they're worthless. This is why Chinese and Japanese game developers always end up winning because of various corrupted western mentalities........ You can ignore my postings all you want, it just means we'll have more crappy games until developers do what is right again.
Still waiting on Rising World to mature. I'm being patient while noting things as we wait.
(The group from Tumblr & Resetera). People are getting so ticked off (the actual people who care) moving onto Anime and Asian games. If you're not concerned then you're either ignorant or willing to push for censorship. No joke.
The new generation simply don't know what games are anymore. People in this era and generation are tolerate of censorship which should be concerning. I grew up in 1990's with everything being acceptable. I wouldn't be surprised if we lived in a Chinese & North Korean society in 2030 with the way SJWs behave. No joke...... Nudity has been censored, as has opinions, and now gameplay....... Don't assume I'm joking. I'm however frustrated and gradually becoming more depressed society is dipping.
Having had family and relatives from Slovakia, and all I want to hype of Slovakia for my positive experiences from there.
Not mocking, just proud and happy. Surprise. I also am well aware of Skoda so I view it fondly from my experiences in Slovakia.
