People are getting used to hoyoverse formula and then they try wuwa, they finally understood why gacha games were supposed to be, is to have fun and kurogames themselves understood that.
the hoyo formula is "The company is always right". Its like a dystopian society but for the gacha players who just want to feel good playing games but they cant get it
Gacha game was not even supposed to be that fun it was just supposed to be cash grab, but wuwa kinda elevates it to a gacha game with more game and less gacha.
Shorekeeper's accent makes me love her even more. The intro cutscene when you get her in the gacha is one of my favourite things ever. The music, the voice, the environment she's in. Just the way she says "Shorekeeper" hits me in the heart. It's so good.
REAL! I played genshit for 4 years... 4 YEARS. It haunts me that I played that game for that long but Im thankful when wuwa came out I never touched that game anymore
you're certainly not the first. as a Jiyan girlie, i know SO many people who finally pay to ensure themselves getting Jiyan and his weapon back in 1.0 because he's such a well-made, thoughtful, and strong character. one has been playing gacha since, like, 2016, but Jiyan finally broke her wallet. 😂
My favorite part about Wuthering Waves is the dev IMHO GI have more potential and promising future at release but the lack of changes and substantial improvement drive the player mad (I'm more disappointed than mad but oh well). Wuwa on the other hand gain noticable improvement each update on the quality of the music, character design, gameplay, story and QoL exactly what the player asked and more Let's not forget how generous the game is on top of the lower pity and the weapon banner is not a scam, crazy. Oh and Echo syatem is GOAT Edit: I played GI since launch almost everyday for two years, then I play it casually. I play Wuwa since launch and rarely miss a day (I but monthly since launch). Wuwa made me feel the same way I do GI at release but each update I feel happy and appreciated while GI update give me disappointment. Wuwa QoL update is just on another level entirely istg
If you play kuro's pgr you'll find the same curve of improvement wuwa has. It's constantly gettimg better,you can see the caring for the game and the playerbase
What a fun video. It's so refreshing to see someone really loving the world of WuWa, being so open about it. Because most people would say the opposite, I often see them say that it's bland and lifeless. Personally I share the same sentiment with you, the game has a post apocalyptic vibe and yet there's so much beautiful places to explore and see. I have one tip I wanna drop though, which I think you'll need after seeing you play Danjin 😅(no offense it's only normal for a beginner) There are tutorials in the Guidebook that goes in depth with characters in case you want to learn them better. You might not see it immediately but it's somwhere there in the guidebook, or just go the Resonator menu and click the small box at bottom right.
@@melonalex. no it's nothing, I just found it goofy, nothing burger. you should play the game at your own pace. I just thought you might need to see the tutorial menu since the combat caught your interest.
this is where you made the BIGGEST MISTAKE, you have to play the story it’s super immersive i still can’t get over shorekeeper story i teared up while i played it…i don’t understand why people skip the story the cutscenes the dialogue is so good
@michgarcia-w4z bro it's an arpg, of course it will be focused on the story,you should keep that in mind before starting playing this genre. It's the same treatment even if you play console arpg so if you can't spare time to play the story then you should just play a different game genre.
The thing is... Wuthering waves developers are also genshin impact players! Yes!! Kuro game developers plays genshin impact. Not really a suprise when they make a similar game yet better. Kuro games learn from mihoyo's mistakes.
what a lovely talk! i agree completely with the beauty of the visual. just a couple of hours ago i was fighting Jue but once i won, i just take sometime by walking, not running, towards the rewards to appreciate the environment, especially the sunset/sunrise sky. beautiful!!!
Glad you enjoy Wuwa, hope you keep playing it. on the topic of immersion and good environments, I really like how the Sky and Vibe of the game changes when you're walking to Tacet Fields, so cool!
It's nice to see someone's perspective outside of the common narrative. Thanks for sharing. I agree with so much of your experience. Refreshing being reminded of just how great the experience has been and the quality that was put into it.
8:11 funny you mentioning Pokemon, because this game actually have shinies just like it! :) theyre called "Phantoms" and theres a chance an enemy will spawn all shining and with different color, and its guaranteed to be dropped! then it can work as a skin for that monster (not Only the echo you got right there, so if you got a shiny ice cube, ALL ice cubes you have and get can use the shiny skin)
If you think this game is very beautiful, youll love Mt. Firmament and Black Shores that unlocked at 1.7 & 1.8 Main story. Those place are even way more gorgeous
If you wanna improve your graphics to make the game pop even more, I recommend using the Sharpen+ Nvidia filter. You don't have to go crazy, texture detail to 70% and sharpness below 15%, and you get much more detailed textures for free, especially rocks. No downsides as long as sharpness is low enough. There are other filters, but they require more tinkering to use. I like the "Details" filter's clarity slider, makes outlines thicker for a more anime look. And if you haven't already (but looks like you might have from your gameplay), turn the brightness slider in the settings way down. For whatever reason the default brightness messes up the colors. Glad you're enjoying the game!
16:20 This. You've been playing the game for 4 days and you already have Camellya and Verina (at least idk). On my main account I got Calcharo and Verina in my first day or two of playing then I got Yinlin two weeks or so into the game on day 1 of her banner in 90-ish pulls. On my alt account I literally speedran through the story and I got Encore and Verina in 30 minutes. The new player experience in this game is so good, if only the opening acts of the story were better the beginning of the game would be perfect. (the combat hard carried it for me)
Yo nice vid and glad you enjoy yourself bud. Now wait till you see 2.0 releasing in Jan 2 next year. (Cuz there is a new trailer recently so it's official, still I suggest don't see a lot of leaks) We get new region, large map, new echoes and the best part, WE CAN USE A GADGET TO FLY AND ITS NOT REGION LOCKED.
It's rather refreshing and surprising, that a barely popular CC has a better, more genuine review, than a handful of the more popular ones, who are so catered towards genshin or HSR that they deliberately spread misinformation to the point of contradicting themselves. I agree with pretty much all of your points, and found it amusing the few stray shots you sent to the other titles that mainly try to waste your time rather than be a good experience.
@@blanc-2468 i really appreciate you saying this as i really do try to keep myself not biased. i love genshin impact and could have easily said that this game doesn’t compare just for that reason. but i really appreciate how amazing this game actually is.
While you're at it, why not give KuroGames' other (and older) ongoing game, Punishing Gray Raven a shot? Unlike Wuthering Waves, PGR is more of a mission-based ARPG where you enter stages instead of exploring an open world during gameplay. But PGR has a VERY fun combat design that perfectly captures the essence of what makes other ARPGs like the Ys series, KH, Scarlet Nexus etc. and stylish action titles like DMC, Bayonetta, Assault Spy etc. so thrilling to mess around in, in part thanks to how much progress the game has made in its development cycle on several aspects. PGR's combat could also serve as a reference to how Wuthering Waves' combat could potentially evolve overtime, especially in terms of the player characters' moveset playability. Also, PGR has hands-down one of *the* most generous gacha designs for getting its highest rarity units (S Rank) during their debut banners, and new units will always be added into the standard pool an update later, thus meaning you can still get them anytime outside of "rate-up featured banners" for 3 randomly selected S Ranks units. (Unless they're Collab units like the Nier: Automata trio, and just a 1 - 2 months ago, Black Rock Shooter, who are the actual "limited timed" units) Speaking of Collab, Punishing Gray Raven's producer officially announced that the game will have a collaboration with "Devil May Cry 5". So do keep an eye out for that when you wanna give PGR a shot one day!
The beginning of this video makes me smile in hindsight cuz with zzz its like "wait the fuck you mean they're revamping the tv shit now an also going back to the earlier chapters so you have the option to...not do them....fuck, genshin could never!" Lol
@melonalex. Same man! I thought you just gave them food and that's it. I'm surprised when they actually noms it. Kinda wish that petting is the same though.
@@sadokaymen7521 i would love to if i streamed the game right from the start. i lowkey didnt expect to love it so much. but ill 100% make a play through for 2.0 release :)
talks about how beautiful the game looks and only shows Jinzhou. I'm assuming u haven't gone further. Ur in for a whole course meal with salad and desserts. Mt Firmament is a noticeable step up but Black Shores doesn't even look like the same game anymore. Black Shores is a place i compare to the underground enviornments of Elden Ring albeit muccch smaller. I may sound like im glazing but i dont think im far off. Black Shores(im refering to both the parts of black shores) and specifically The end Of Wandering(my personal spot of peace) is one the most beautiful place i've seen in games and its just 1.4 going into 2.0. None of my favorite places from genshin come close.
@@arkabarma3286 i watched my girlfriend play as she started a bit before i did so she was slightly ahead but my whole reason for wanting to speedrun the quest after watching hers was the black shores. im so in love with the sky at night there 😭 i just got to mt firmament too and that is just unbelievable in itself. 🙏
@@melonalex. godamnit right? its just so freaking beautiful. The shores there are enchanting, no pun intended, and the destroyed moon projection in the sky- chef's kiss. BUT there's moree. the freaking underground 'sky' has constellations which are actually supposed to alogrithms and simulations... shooting stars? they are data thats being thrown out/deleted/recycled...like bruhhhhh. Absolute spectacle. graphically and even implementing lore into its visual narration.
Kuro other game punishing gray raven. Has vastly superior music from the start of thwt games release its just all action. I dont play it anymore tho cud i felt it a bit too overwhelming i was also playing Hi3 at the same time.. which didnt help. I quit both of those
a fair warning if your planning to cover WuWa in your channel as much as possible avoid comparing it to other games especially genshin, you'll attract the toxic side of WuWa community unless thats what you want your comments about the graphics can be summed up to one phrase, "POWER OF UNREAL ENGINE" genshin was built on a modified unity which is great for its time, this one is built on a modified unreal engine also about optimization thanks to it being an unreal engine, its pretty optimized as long as your device is within the recommended specs, use a device slightly lower than that and the framerate tanks like hell (IDK why but according to some people thats just an unreal engine stuff, but it is my experience) on my laptop with GTX 1080 i can pump up to 80FPS in medium graphics, but on a 1050 on my brother's desktop it runs like a potato barely getting up to 40 FPS om minimum settings and right now i have a RTX 4050 MSI laptop, man im turning max settings with multiple nvidia filters and it can still run at 110-120+ FPS music? LOL try checking the Music of PGR (PGR is made by kuro games same devs made WuWa) and you can see what to expect in the future, kuro's music isnt catchy its thematic the echo is actually a double edged feature, it makes farming fun but also tedious, if your in a hurry and want to farm, well too bad
Ehh, ZZZ is no longer clunked up with TV mode (as v1.4 lets you turn it off for alternative gameplay to TV), & unlike Genshin, they have decent management and great devs (and they also a very chill community, far less toxic than WuWa's from what i can observe).
Wuwa’s community is kinda like Genshin’s in that it is double sided. The enjoyment of the casual majority, then the toxicity of the Kurobots and sweats.
@@ShianCyan You can turn it off in 1.4, instead of TV there will be an alternate gameplay, those who wants TVs can choose to use them. Not sure if it will be rolled out to all chapters as previously, TV mode was removed entirely for the newer chapters (not sure if it's still the case)
