This might be the most imformitive viedo about Wuthering Waves and its history . Thanks for the work dude . i hope there will be more actual content creaters about Wuthering Waves on youtube like you . i sick and tied of those steamers yapping on games and make a video that called content on youtube .
Honestly, it does not matter if Wuthering Waves don't win. I will always support Kuro games because they understand and respect the players. A game is only profitable when a player enjoys it. And when a dev team is as dedicated as Kuro games, who delivers that enjoyment, in my book, it's a win for both the company and the players. P.S: Thank you for not including RexYang cosplay. That shit still haunts my nightmares.
Before Solon become CEO, there's 1 problem (actually they have many problem but I'll spill 1). I don't know his name but he was a CEO controlling Kurogames, He practiced gacha game rate manipulation and was detected by his players, so that Kurogames got Sued and the winner was Players, old CEO left the company and Solon with bravely become CEO and save the Kurogames. Solon make wise decision by giving Guarantee banner on Gacha, that's why on PGR rate up Character debut is 100% with pity 60 along the rate up is 0.5% (actually we buy a character), and giving Freebies S rank character as a new player. Until now the Freebies become more more generous and people become love and trust with Kurogames right now Solon is the best ❤
what an absolute masterclass in presentation. I mean, just wow. the word glazing has been thrown around all over the place recently so I really love how you executed this video. I love WuWa since it rewards me for putting a little effort playing it then hearing this timeline makes me appreciate it more. Been always a fan and will continue to tune in for more. Keep it up Sidney!
ppl keep saying this but what is there to reveal. We know ps5's coming, we know the new characters, we know the release date. Idk what else they could drop that's super impactful
@@TheXander2004 for exemple they can show a bit of the story and some bit of gameplay, like all the version trailer with a date for the 2.0 livestream.
Fun fact: Before second half of 2023, Kuro was located on the ground floor of a creative park in Guangzhou, with an entire glass curtain wall, so it was often jokingly referred to as a “stationery store” by players.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video - I was glued to the screen from start to finish! Thank you for showing the original technical test trailer... never seen it and it was soooo good! I feel proud to play Wuwa and PGR (which i'm new to) - Kuro does a fantastic job of balancing their need for profit vs player happiness/satisfaction. Never once have they made me feel like a walking cash point! I feel respected and so am happy to spend lightly in their game(s). Your content, as always, is unique and interesting - thank you Sidneymar
yeah... its kinda a waste were already moving on to another region with a whole new set of characters when I personally havent gotten attached to the first characters we meet (yangyang, chixia, baizhi)... I hope characters like shorekeeper be together with the rover in 2.0 as I think the game needs some sort of main group to venture the story with (I had hoped the first trio to be this) like the trailblazers in hsr or gray raven in PGR.
I love this video, apart of all improvements I'm still grateful that they removed elemental reactions, the problem they have is that many characters are left out just because of their element type. For me this game has won a space in my heart, they know how to listen, love their players and had improve their game so grateful to be here 💗
Even if Wuthering Waves doesn't win anything in the Game Awards, they are winners in my heart and soul. They have earned my utmost respect for what they have done. It's bizarre how One can improve in a short amount of time. 🙏 I wish more people would see how good of a game Wuthering Waves is. Sure the start might be a bit bumpy but that's because people can't read the requirements, and compared to most of the games that were released in 2024, the WW launch was relatively solid. There were FAR Worse releases this year than Wuthering Waves.
Man, it's sad. At some point they wanted to move something already in PGR into WuWa which would be amazing like the 6 set and individual skill leveling and rank system. But then somewhere along the road they decided to move something already in Genshin into WuWa instead. Why... WHY?! Edit: Fr tho, this is such a BANGER video!
prolly because it's hard to transition to that, when most ppl already played genshin and gotten used to it's UI and leveling system, us PGR players won't have any problems with that, but ppl who only plays genshin, and prolly the target audience might get turned off and get confused
@@hei4676 In reality this difficulty to transition is never a problem. In fact the gacha and the systems create identity for the game. Wuthering Waves is solved super quickly because it's the same as Genshin. If people had to learn, they won't feel too much lack of content. There are so many reasons to use a different system. Even the NTE tetris like artifact system is cool.
@@LargeBanana yeah but yk how genshin players are, they refuse to play another game especially another open world, and then they have to learn and read? nah they would just stick to what they're used to, most of them are casual that don't have any game sense lol, so capitalising on existing systems that works is the safest way i guess, then just add your own twist after you get all your audience
@@Zen-mc6yb sorry if I'm a bit blunt there lol, but it's really the case with genshin, even if there's another good game that will come out, there's always plenty of ppl that would love genshin no matter how bad it gets, it hit's them on a personal level specifically on pandemic times that's why they can never let go of it, and in order to attract such audience, you gotta do what hits home
I still can't get over how unique and detailed the game was trying to be in CBT1, especially the story with so much character/world building but they had to change it to generic and dull Genshin-like story and UI due to complaints. Never forget what they took from us :(
Why in this case do those who actually participated in the plot on CBT1 (not just watched a few cut scenes) say that the current plot is still better? Just read the comments. I am also offended by the changes, but still apparently the problems in the past history were really too significant.
I think it's vital to understand that unlike the rumors, Wuwa was "less-than-perfect" during the beta. It was not a unique, dark, rich world you guys thought it to be. It was....edgy. You can still find many clips about it in BiliBili. Take awoo's story quest as an example. I find it absolutely disgusting that some westeners who don't even know how bad the game was to say that "the Chinese ruined this game". Talk about racism. PS. I feel the need to re clarify that when I talk about the westerners stuff, I wasn't specifically talking about the OP. Just a rant, pay it no mind
@@vr4893 I would like to hear more from you. I'm also very tired of those stupid sentiments about how 'muh Chinese incels ruined our game and turned them into waifu bait!'. That aside, I do hope we can have conversation about CBT1 from your POV.
@@ThaiCommie Outside of a few completely acceptable bugs and flat quests (go fetch A, go fetch B kinda quest) the biggest thing people complain about is the story writing back in CBT1. You probably already know about the "Chixia pointing the gun at us" scene, and yes... people did complain about that, but context-wise...it was understandable. What many couldn't understand is the fact that Chixia, Baizhi, and all the NPCs still hate you even *after* you helped them. They want you to help but refuse to accept you. They still see you as a threat and someone untrustworthy. I believe it is best shown through Awoo's (now Lingyang) story quest. I understand that many would find it quite difficult to understand the story (as it was in Chinese), so TLDW: - you met Awoo - he told you about how his tribe was massacred by the inferno rider, and now he's looking for revenge. - so he asked us (the players) to unalive the boss while he took care of other things. - we fought the boss by the skin of our teeth. It was quite a difficult fight, as players don't necessarily have access to full-built characters by then. - after we almost killed the boss, Awoo swoops in and steals the kill. - Yangyang glazes Awoo like he just "saved us" after killing the already half-dead boss with ease. - Awoo starts monologuing how his life is now empty after such an easy fight (Im fr rn). - He never thanked, nor acknowledged you after all that. Hell, if you talk to him after the story ends, he'll say "Why are you still here?" As someone said: "You do things for others; they took your credit, then wonder why you haven't f*ck off somewhere else as you served your purpose." Sorry for bad english
@@vr4893 >What many couldn't understand is the fact that Chixia, Baizhi, and all the NPCs still hate you even after you helped them. They want you to help but refuse to accept you. They still see you as a threat and someone untrustworthy. Exactly, this is something so many people miss about CBT1. Rover's constantly helping out, saving Huanglong from all these threats, and everyone just hates them for it. It made you wonder why you even bothered. The hypercorrection hasn't been perfect but CBT1's story would have been far worse.
I still think the devs for arknights is still the best devs out there in Gacha games. Its the only gacha game I played where they have balancing updates (modules update) and those characters with balance update will have power up so it wont fall into obscurity, some of them. Its like im playing a competitve game and every update has balance update so meta characters are different each season.
Best devs in history? please grow up lol im sure gatcha gamers think only their type of games exists. Yaaay kuro scam you a little less that other gatcha devs.....congrats?
@@karew7051They right Kuro only exist because of hoyoverse all their games are base on popular hoyo games and they fact when Kuro launch those games they all were buggy broken messes idk proof their no where near the best. If you laugh at hoyoverse being called best then Kuro is being best is a sea of laughter.
Like the clickbait title Just wish you cover the fact Kuro has been copying hoyoverse from the start As far as i know kuro has three games with one shut down they all come after a game hoyoverse has made that is popular Hoyoverse has Gun Girl Z then Kuro copies makes Twin Tails battle ground Hoyoverse has Honkai Impact 3rd then Kuro copies makes Punishing Gray Raven Hoyoverse has Genshin Impact then Kuro copies make Wuthering Waves All three hoyoverse games had made great changes to the gacha space especially since Honkai impact 3 and genshin impact where the first of their type in the space. Honkai impact 3 proven gacha games didn't have to be low effort cash grabs and genshin took that idea a turned it up to eleven. Now after genshin hit big multiple high budget gacha games started coming out. I'm 100% sure if not for hoyoverse existence other big budget gacha games/companies wouldn't exist.

The broadcast/documentary format suits this channel so much. Love the content!
i hope that we get a big trailer reveal for wuthering waves 2.0 during the game awards ceremony in a few days.
Yes, I agree. It would be a huge boost for them and more players! Kuro definitely needs to market better fot global!
ppl keep saying this but what is there to reveal. We know ps5's coming, we know the new characters, we know the release date. Idk what else they could drop that's super impactful

Thank you!

Company and devs are so f good man i am glad Wuwa is in India and everywhere as well.
samee, i was honestly kinda scared at first thinking if they were gonna release wuwa in India or not. considering pgr isn't available in India
Support the game by buying atleast lunite subscription brother.. so that they see its profitable in India and invest more
Finally a correct glazing video, praising the game without bringing down other games unlike saintotas, w video keep it up.
