Download Honkai: Star Rail out now! hoyo.link/abjbCgBd so yeah took a bit of an extended break from youtube for personal reasons but I'm looking forward to getting back into making content for both Genshin and Star Rail :]
Trailblazer reminds me of Yu narukami. Literally there times when he/she lets his/her intrusive thoughts win and does one of the weirdest and funniest replies in the game. Its so funny how its canon that MC digs up every trash bin he/she finds just because he/she really wanted to do it meanwhile dan heng and march cant understand your way of thinking. When you first enter the hotel room in belobog, MC sees a huge closet he/she can fit. MC went full on fischl and imagined that he/she imagined the contents of the closest like it was narnia plus any chuuni sht youve heard of and that the person behind the door who was room service was the demon who would take him/her away. MC jumped out of the closest scaring the sht of room service and you getba reward for doing so. Theres also when MC tried to use the payphone and trolled some non profit organization
Honestly I don't care about the gacha, Iam more intrested in the wierd stuff you can do in Honkai Star Rail. There is literally interesting diolugue and items you can get from trash cans! It's soo stupid but it helps to take away from the linear design of the game. Stuff like this rewards the player for exploring things out of the norm. Another instance was the hotel you stay at, rather than going directly to bed I decide to jump into the cabinet and scare the people doing room service. Guess what, I got rewarded for that too.
There’s also a part where you can sit on a random toilet that’s in a random room on the Express 😂😂 The weird stuff really makes the game more entertaining
Sadly those interactions become somewhat rare after the Jerilo VI Administrative District, I really hope they add more of them through updates later on. Especially the Praises of high morale, as if you take the letters from the mailboxes instead of putting them in you are locked out of the Saint achievement permanently. At least as of what I know right now.
@@Marisad You can find a couple in the Xianzhou Loufu, though that said we still haven't explored like half of the possible areas there. Actually even Herta Space Station and Jarilo-IV have areas that seem like you go to but are blocked off probably for future expansions. (Like the locked doors in the space station or the vast mines, other pathways wish invisible walls, more parts of the city in Belobog, and perhaps even the outer areas beyond Belobog. Who knows? We might find a frozen doomsday beast or something
@@laurentiuslancaster1657 Yeah but the density of intractable stuff in the Loufu is already way lower than Overworld Belobog or The space station, also regarding the Saint achievement I think it's just bugged for me, I'm decently sure I have enough praises of high morale but it just won't give the achievement to me
genshin has always been marketed to mobile devices but struggles on most mobile phones and is most likely going to struggle on the nintendo switch (which is literally a mid spec tablet) so its surprising to see hsr run smoothly compared to genshin when hsr looks like it takes more resources to run
Honkai Star Rail is not an open world game, this fact already made a huge difference Also this is patch 1.0 of Star Rail, yet it already taken 9,12GB (no I did not download other languages dub beside Eng dub) while Genshin in 1.0, it took 6,8GB
“Smoothly” my butt, it’s still have some bugs, and quite unoptimized, at least for now. One time i was playing smooth, next time it was laggy and the lightning seems off sometimes, even though i was playing on a high end device.
It seems like a fun casual game - easy to play during free time compared to genshin. The fact enemies have multiple weaknesses makes me hopeful HSR doesn't follow the mobile turn-based trend where you need to build full teams for every element.
You don’t even need to play that specific element sometimes in HSR. Even without weakness break if you deal high enough damage the enemy is guaranteed to die
I've been playing Genshin and HI3 more than 2 years, and... It's funny everyone thinks Genshin is HYV's main game when it's actually just a side-project. And the fact there is now 3rd Honkai game may even tell you where their preferences lay. MiHoYo originally was founded by Evangelion fans. That may also give a hint why they like sci-fi more. Yes, Genshin brings more money than Honkai, but if money was only measure of success in game industry we should say that hyper casual games are better than the plot-oriented ones. I mean, they're more profitable, aren't they? HYV devs just love Honkai, no matter how lesser money it brings. Watch their documentary, and you'll see how much of themselves they put into Honkai. How they talk about its story and characters. How grateful they're to its players and fans. So, one Honkai story came to an end, and they launch next one, adding casual elements from Genshin in hope to attract more people to read / play their Honkai stories. Plot and characters aside, the biggest difference between GI and HSR for me it's writing. In HSR it's actually interesting to read and engage with everything. In Genshin I 99% tempted to skip (sumeru's good though). HI3 is literally a visual novel with combat elements, so no reason to compare (I didn't skip a word ok) Next is MC. You are not silent, you can be badass and silly and your choices change character reaction to you. Last, you're not alone or with only Paimon. You have a found family and they actually traveling with you commenting shit you doing and starting conversations. You even have a group chat with the word "family" in its label. HSR has excellent humor, it's way less childish and 'fairy-talish'. If you like sci-fi and know what 42 means - try this game. If you HI3 fan, you would try HSR anyway so-
this guy gets it 100%, GI was really just an experiement that accidentally got huge,, theyre real heart and soul lies in Honkai which is fine as long as they keep making their games fun!!
sure genshin can be their side projects or whatever they want it to be but it will never change the fact that it's their loss if they wont maximize its profit and keep giving genshin players the barest minimum just because "honkai is their favorite child" and feel that they're not getting the content and service they deserve for paying fucktons of money.
@@gepardlandau04 GI being huge doesn't mean it has to give out huge service. Its made this much this far as-is, it can keep going while updating as it goes. Eventually an update will get people excited again. HSR gets the usual next game treatment of 'sure we can add that in' because they had to build the game anyways.
Tried out the game, and it’s not for me. Turn-based combat just isn’t my cup of tea. I much prefer real-time combat. Not to mention, the time investment I put into Genshin is pretty high and I don’t want to do that with a second game. With that being said, I hope any Star Rail fans out there have a good experience playing!
As Rpg player.... The turn base gift a breeze breathe.. As someone who like play turn base this is good (usually turn base focus point is story) if you play rpg like trail in sky or any turn base one like in psp or maybe old games u know the nostalgia. But being it was online... The resources to get 😅
Another part I like about star rail which is probably so random is how I don't feel punished doing other things on the side while I'm playing like,,,I don't feel bad eating smth or doing homework while playing the game whereas genshin demands your full undivided attention, especially with their difference in combat mechanics, the point of a game for me is to be casual and light hearted and star rail fulfills those criterias for me
Thats what i truly love about this game, i got burnt out of genshin (which i played really long but stopped cuz the farming and end game is burning me out) and also since i learnt my mistakes on my gacha in this game, i choose who i know truly want and also that I LOVEEEEEE when youre in a middle of a game U CAN PAUSE-
The thing I like the most about star rail is that unlike Genshin we actually get a physical catalyst character, cause if you think about it, ignoring literal weapons, they're all catalyst users in a sense with how they can only deal damage of their elemental type.
I like the feel of star rail's combat better, mainly because i've all 4 of my characters out on battle rather than genshin's only 1 out at a time. A huge emphasis on team battle. Plus, the game doesn't need more than 10mins of my attention daily, which is manageable for me and crippling monotony I tend to feel when playing the same game over and over again. Stopped playing genshin only after 3 weeks after its release, because the daily tasks felt like a chore over time.
I was never able to fully get into Genshin. That game just wasn't for me. Honkai Star rail on the other hand.. I don't know what it is, but I really love that game. And I find it quite Funny
They are different. I played Star Rail for 4 days now, before returning to Genshin. Playing Genshin felt totally weird and different after playing 4 days of Star Rail.
Genshin and Honkai have their respective energy systems that limits how much you can do daily anyway, so I don't see why gamers should choose one over the other. Personally, I swap when resin or trailblazer power run out.
I like the honest comparisons, despite being a sponsored video you still go in on the differences and how not everybody who enjoys Genshin will immediately fall in love with Star Rail but how it's still very approachable for fans of Hoyoverse.
1:49 honestly, I would probably like the more time to think afforded by HSR, but I really love Genshin’s story and it’s characters. I’ve taken a peep at HSR’s story and characters and I simply do not feel as drawn.
Thank you for making this video! I know this is really just a simple message but really appreciate your efforts 😅. I haven't look much into this new game yet and this is very helpful!
I played star rail for a bit, but you're right about them having different audiences. I'll occasionally pop in on star rail ("occasionally" meaning like once a month at most), but i prefer genshin in pretty much every way. Sure, it looks like a potato on my poor laptop, but if I need pretty screenshots, my phone can run it on its highest settings for about an hour without a charger. Doesn't mean that playing it on the phone is much fun though, star rail is much better for mobile (and a lot like epic seven, which i used to play until something unfortunate happened to my played-since-release main account. This means, mainly, that it's a lot more conventional than genshin when we're looking at gacha titles) I'll be sticking with Genshin, but I'm honestly glad that star rail has had so much success. It clearly had quite a bit of care put into it, and the MC is hilarious.
Since I'm a big Genshin player and is getting bored of Genshin for now, I'm trying HSR out and I enjoyed it so far. But, I do realize that I'm not gonna be investing to this game, it's just for the freshness of a new game for me. I imagine after a while the grinding is gonna get tiring, especially since I prefer more character choices in turn based games to make it not as boring. Given the rates are the same in Genshin, it's gonna be torture to continue on. All in all, it is a nice game to just try out.
I have one reason to not try this game out: from what i've seen and heard so far, this game's gacha is exactly like in genshin (which is bad even for gacha standards), artifact rng hell is exactly like in genshin, and their QoL politics are exactly like in genshin (hell, they even removed skip button in the last beta). Like, as much as I'm interested in the lore and characters, hell no, you're not gonna make me go through this torture again.
Well, I am with you on this. Do not need another hellish grind to go through. Plus, Baizhu teaser is out today and soon, Kaveh's either tomorrow or Saturday 😊 However, I am sure if you can be on the lore train and you'll never have to bother with the Gacha and the artifact RNG hell. Plus, the characters seem off. Good as they are, they don't act like their Honkai counterparts. They share the same likeliness, that's all. I mean Genshin does that too, but it's more of an Easter egg in Genshin. Whereas this game has been marketed as a successor to HI3. I am more interested in Star Rail's OG characters than the Easter egg characters at this point.
@@smug_slime From personal experience, mostly. Every single gacha I've played so far, which is 4 of them, have an event 5* chance at least at 1%. And none of them have the dreaded 50/50, although to be fair one of them has guarantee as high as 150 (but in return its generous with its selectors so as of now i have every single 5* as f2p). Rates for those I haven't played aren't hard to google either, just look up a list of highest revenue gachas and go down it. As far as I know the only gacha as greedy as Genshin is FGO, or at least it used to be in 2020.
I think another thing this game can do. Is to possibly add a PvP gamemode Genshin is impossible to implement PvP on since it's real time and team synergy can just one shot another team in just a flash. But since Star rail's turn based they can implement a pvp without it being a broken and laggy mess. There's been a lot of turn based gachas with a pvp mode like SAO rising steel/ unleash blading. Granted it still depends on luck and build but how generous HSR's relics are compared to Genshin that might fix the issue
why do all creators keep saying how Honkai rail is different from genshin or how is related is like they don't even check where the game actually comes from is even in the name " HONKAI IMPACT " it's predecessor to even genshin so many of the characters are base copy from there even they share the same name ..............is like they dont even try to do the research
because genshin lobotomites hear that its a hoyoverse game and expect it to be a carbon copy, also genshin is pretty seperate from both HSR and HI3, aside from a few characters who pay homage in some form
As a mobile player on Genshin since day 1 - I feel genshin is a great mobile game. Star rail is a game. Genshin is an experience. I wish mihoyo continues to increase difficulty level in genshin so experienced players can continue to have a reason to build their characters.
Genshin has become a game i don't have fun with anymore i go in do my daily stuff and stop while in hsr I've had actual fun playing it coming up with different strategies to beat a boss exploring the weird stuff you can do.
8:06 this aged so well... JY isnt a bad Character, just had the bad luck to be Erudition (a path that is actually pretty trashy and Light cones of the Path isnt... good enough) and most of his power relies on his signature Light Cone.
I started playing Honkai Star Rail and yes it is very different, I mean yes Genshin is a open world and we have to do réactions whit all elements. And this is why I didn't like the game so far the combat and small world but just have to give it a chance
2:19 honestly, while I do have an ability to play Genshin on PC and recognise its benefits, I would never even consider doing it because I'm terrible at PC controls. Like I can't move normally, thus can't fight even the easiest of enemies thus Abyss, exploration and events are near impossible to do; I don't play any games on PC consistently and have been playing exclusively on mobile for years and even when I used to play on PC WASD controls has always been a bane for me because they're so extremely counterintuitive and uncomfortable to me and I never got used to it and arrows also aren't located comfortably even if I were to change to them - to far from skill buttons, to close to the mouse, comfortably using them would require me to be ambidextrous which I am absolutely not, like PC gaming is a complete and utter nightmare to me full of incredible suffering and utter horror while mobile gaming even with lower quality is intuitive, easy, convenient and familiar and overall a far better experience then the inferno that is PC gaming. I don't have much motivation to learn to play on PC because the benefits are to slim compared to efforts and time it would take to master and it's SO MUCH EASIER to make time for mobile gaming than for PC one because with PC you have to sit in front of it to do it, but mobile gaming can be done from anywhere that has good enough Internet connection. In short, for me mobile gaming is leagues and leagues above PC gaming and it probably will never get equal because the way I see it I will obly have less and less time for PC gaming moving forward but I will always have 5 to 30 minutes to more for mobile gaming. As for console it's simple - don't have it and it's far from a priority item to get.
En mi opinion prefiero más Genshin Impact que Honkai,ya que en Genshin es mucho más fácil la obtención de materiales a mi parecer,pero lo que es a nivel de historia me gusta un poco más Honkai,además de que se me hace más comica. Pero Genshin siempre va a estar al principio para mi UwU
If you want to know what I think of Honkai: Star Rail. Feel like any other every day anime RPG turn base combat. That coming from any free download Gacha RPG turn base combat. I even play like non gacha version of anime turn base combat. In other word it not ever a new breath of fresh air to me.
My personal opinion is that MC is stronger than early Aether due to him being made for combat with minimal persona compared to traveler who get stronger with his character development (doesn’t change the fact that he’s pretty dumb and reckless for old world traveler)
I mean Trailblazer literally standed in front of a large blast in the opening match didn’t die because plot needs happen. Traveler has been pretty smart about traveling a world none their old power and no prior knowledge
Is the mcs of honkai star rail just genderbend and you choose the gender or do both mcs exist lorewise like the mc and his/her abyssal sibling in genshin?
@@paridhi_d9167 I looked at the scene again at there really is a mention of they, but I don't know much about what receptacle means so maybe the pronoun was a mistake.
@@lavidear6286 The MC being a receptacle just means they are a biological vessel that contains Stellaron. It's got nothing to do even remotely with MC's gender or pronouns or anything.
Why wouldnt it make money or be successful Hoyoverse made money with there other projects and the game is well made besides the few apprehensive people who proclaim they won't try it( but secretly will) It might not reach Genshin level but it was never supposed it's turn based it exist to fill a niche just like ZZZ or Tears Of Themis They get the money all the same
@@demonking-zm3rs you'll see. There are several reasons but just to give one, Genshin came out during the pandemic, everybody and their grandma was playing Genshin back in the day. HSR ain't gonna even touch what Genshin did, but we'll see. I'm prepared to eat my words. You can mark this video in your list and come back to me after a few months.😂👍
@@TheReaIestOne And, did they even claim that Star rail would reach Genshin level? They only claimed that it would STILL succeed monetarily, which it would definitely do considering that HYV's other games also had succeeded And why are we even arguing about the 2 games? They still are from the same company. You're literally defending a game made by a company against a game made by the SAME COMPANY It still wouldn't make a difference to Hoyoverse
@@francescoettwedda-1875as a ex Genshin player it very bad, it burns you the fuck out and I might drop the game because of artifact grinding. Found out there’s auto play though, no longer worried. God I hate artifacts so fucking much.
@@-1081 umm I originally did, I said that HSR won't reach genshin heights. Of course it'll earn them some money but it'll never reach half of what genshin gets for hoyo. There was no point in replying if they didn't think otherwise. What's your point?
I refuse to play this game for a multitude of reasons. Biggest is Honkai is not afraid to kill off your favorite character. Doesn't matter, no one is safe. So I'm just not willing to go through absolute depression getting attached to these characters knowing they could be killed off at any moment.
The pain is why i play i cryed like 4 times today cuz of hi3 i can't be mad The only thing i hate about hsr is WHO TF IS ZALA IDK WHO TF THAT IS I ONLY KNOW THE SEELE THAY DID MY QUEEN DIRTY LIKE THAT IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO SAY SEAL-E? IS IT ? (I loveed laylas hangout shes litterly seeles and bronya-chans love child in genshin)
Why the fuck do people keep comparing Genshin to this game the name is literally from Honkai Impact 3rd Not Genshin!. The amount of disrespect to Honkai Impact players are getting. HONKAI IMPACT 4Life.!
Disagree on so many points. Genshin looks good af on my 200 dollar Android phone, play smoothly, and I got used to playing on my phone in a month and never looked back. The convenience difference of playing HSR over Genshin on phone is non-existent. This was a lackluster and disappointing video. This is not to knock HSR, I'm enjoying the game, but there's no way HSR will ever take priority over Genshin ever. Genshin is just a much bigger, better game objectively.
its not objectively better. its bigger objectively and will probably always be, but it being better is subjective For example, i think genshin is probably the weakest Hoyoverse game they released in terms of story that i have played (HI3, HSR, GI) I also think that the characters in HI3 and HSR are better than 99% of GI's characters
@@Doraemonhandleeh? The controls on mobile suck like ass compared to playing on a computer. HSR actually feels like I’m playing a game made for mobile. It feels like you’re fishing for stuff to say that Genshin is better when you can’t stop yourself from saying “Genshin better.” Not to mention you brought up literally 1 point you don’t disagree with then went on a rant.
You lost me when said its turn based game. Not a fan of it, idk who going to play turn based games coz its zero fun and SLOW. Well mby grandmas and grandpas with slow reaction.
Most small brain take in this comment section. Turn based games fill their own niche. Next are you gonna claim chess players are stupid because it's a turn based game?
@@xXSamir44Xx But they didn't say anything about stupidity. They said it was slow and not interesting for them. Why do you care so much about someone else's opinion?

Agreed on your first point. I can run HSR even though my ping is constantly on 200-300. The anxiety that same thing gave me with Genshin was real
About the controls: The fact that genshin still does not have official controller support on android devices is just mind boggling to me.
Ive been on mobile since day 1, a few months in I switched to a controller. Hated it - esp with menu selection 😂
Every Hoyoverse game in Android don't have controller support, unfortunately.
1:49 honestly, I would probably like the more time to think afforded by HSR, but I really love Genshin’s story and it’s characters. I’ve taken a peep at HSR’s story and characters and I simply do not feel as drawn.
Thank you for making this video! I know this is really just a simple message but really appreciate your efforts 😅. I haven't look much into this new game yet and this is very helpful!
Hopefully the next video is not on ZZZ's release /j
Anyway, Welcome back!
Clara weapon is her family Svarog
t's been 4 months, glad I can see you still exist!
Came for info, fell asleep to ASMR.
Probably a hint towards how my HSR experience would be , if I tried it.
I played star rail for a bit, but you're right about them having different audiences. I'll occasionally pop in on star rail ("occasionally" meaning like once a month at most), but i prefer genshin in pretty much every way. Sure, it looks like a potato on my poor laptop, but if I need pretty screenshots, my phone can run it on its highest settings for about an hour without a charger. Doesn't mean that playing it on the phone is much fun though, star rail is much better for mobile (and a lot like epic seven, which i used to play until something unfortunate happened to my played-since-release main account. This means, mainly, that it's a lot more conventional than genshin when we're looking at gacha titles)
I'll be sticking with Genshin, but I'm honestly glad that star rail has had so much success. It clearly had quite a bit of care put into it, and the MC is hilarious.
Yooo bro welcome back!
Since I'm a big Genshin player and is getting bored of Genshin for now, I'm trying HSR out and I enjoyed it so far. But, I do realize that I'm not gonna be investing to this game, it's just for the freshness of a new game for me. I imagine after a while the grinding is gonna get tiring, especially since I prefer more character choices in turn based games to make it not as boring. Given the rates are the same in Genshin, it's gonna be torture to continue on. All in all, it is a nice game to just try out.
I have one reason to not try this game out: from what i've seen and heard so far, this game's gacha is exactly like in genshin (which is bad even for gacha standards), artifact rng hell is exactly like in genshin, and their QoL politics are exactly like in genshin (hell, they even removed skip button in the last beta). Like, as much as I'm interested in the lore and characters, hell no, you're not gonna make me go through this torture again.
Well, I am with you on this. Do not need another hellish grind to go through. Plus, Baizhu teaser is out today and soon, Kaveh's either tomorrow or Saturday 😊
However, I am sure if you can be on the lore train and you'll never have to bother with the Gacha and the artifact RNG hell. Plus, the characters seem off. Good as they are, they don't act like their Honkai counterparts. They share the same likeliness, that's all. I mean Genshin does that too, but it's more of an Easter egg in Genshin. Whereas this game has been marketed as a successor to HI3. I am more interested in Star Rail's OG characters than the Easter egg characters at this point.
but the combat system is really good tho
I want to know where do you get this gacha standard are you talking about? Like really where are you based this on?
@@smug_slime From personal experience, mostly. Every single gacha I've played so far, which is 4 of them, have an event 5* chance at least at 1%. And none of them have the dreaded 50/50, although to be fair one of them has guarantee as high as 150 (but in return its generous with its selectors so as of now i have every single 5* as f2p). Rates for those I haven't played aren't hard to google either, just look up a list of highest revenue gachas and go down it. As far as I know the only gacha as greedy as Genshin is FGO, or at least it used to be in 2020.
@@smug_slime tell me Genshin was your first gacha without telling me if was your first gacha
I love the comedy and dialogue choices in star ral, it is my kind of comedy, also i can relate a lot it the Trailblazer and how chaotic they are
I think another thing this game can do. Is to possibly add a PvP gamemode
Genshin is impossible to implement PvP on since it's real time and team synergy can just one shot another team in just a flash.
But since Star rail's turn based they can implement a pvp without it being a broken and laggy mess. There's been a lot of turn based gachas with a pvp mode like SAO rising steel/ unleash blading.
Granted it still depends on luck and build but how generous HSR's relics are compared to Genshin that might fix the issue
Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to show up 😆
Good to have you back again RedFlaim.
why do all creators keep saying how Honkai rail is different from genshin or how is related is like they don't even check where the game actually comes from is even in the name " HONKAI IMPACT " it's predecessor to even genshin so many of the characters are base copy from there even they share the same name ..............is like they dont even try to do the research
because genshin lobotomites hear that its a hoyoverse game and expect it to be a carbon copy, also genshin is pretty seperate from both HSR and HI3, aside from a few characters who pay homage in some form
Ayyy you're finally back!
You are finally back !
between genshin players trying starrail, and vice versa, it's likely that some (honkai only) will end up retiring to the other game.
As a mobile player on Genshin since day 1 - I feel genshin is a great mobile game.
Star rail is a game. Genshin is an experience.
I wish mihoyo continues to increase difficulty level in genshin so experienced players can continue to have a reason to build their characters.
unfortunately we can only wish
Genshin has become a game i don't have fun with anymore i go in do my daily stuff and stop while in hsr I've had actual fun playing it coming up with different strategies to beat a boss exploring the weird stuff you can do.
Why not quit then?
@@kasa-ysayan i did for a while then fontaine came out and i started actually having fun playing the game again
Honkai doesn't have a level requirement for customizing your Function Wheel.
8:06 this aged so well...
JY isnt a bad Character, just had the bad luck to be Erudition (a path that is actually pretty trashy and Light cones of the Path isnt... good enough) and most of his power relies on his signature Light Cone.
What is bro's uploading schedule
I think the fans are slowly starting to separate. I'm staying with star rail, it's great
I'm a new star rail player, my favourite moment when mc asks what's this and everyone is like
Relics.
Relics
Relics
These are relics.
No screaming harpy in HSR 😂
Good video thank you!
I don't have pc so my experience is the opposite since I'm used to mobile controls
When l hear pc. All l can think about is people doing mods.
Playstation 5 version. I can't wait.
I started playing Honkai Star Rail and yes it is very different, I mean yes Genshin is a open world and we have to do réactions whit all elements. And this is why I didn't like the game so far the combat and small world but just have to give it a chance
2:19 honestly, while I do have an ability to play Genshin on PC and recognise its benefits, I would never even consider doing it because I'm terrible at PC controls.
Like I can't move normally, thus can't fight even the easiest of enemies thus Abyss, exploration and events are near impossible to do; I don't play any games on PC consistently and have been playing exclusively on mobile for years and even when I used to play on PC WASD controls has always been a bane for me because they're so extremely counterintuitive and uncomfortable to me and I never got used to it and arrows also aren't located comfortably even if I were to change to them - to far from skill buttons, to close to the mouse, comfortably using them would require me to be ambidextrous which I am absolutely not, like PC gaming is a complete and utter nightmare to me full of incredible suffering and utter horror while mobile gaming even with lower quality is intuitive, easy, convenient and familiar and overall a far better experience then the inferno that is PC gaming.
I don't have much motivation to learn to play on PC because the benefits are to slim compared to efforts and time it would take to master and it's SO MUCH EASIER to make time for mobile gaming than for PC one because with PC you have to sit in front of it to do it, but mobile gaming can be done from anywhere that has good enough Internet connection. In short, for me mobile gaming is leagues and leagues above PC gaming and it probably will never get equal because the way I see it I will obly have less and less time for PC gaming moving forward but I will always have 5 to 30 minutes to more for mobile gaming.
As for console it's simple - don't have it and it's far from a priority item to get.
Welcome back
Genshin vry dry for me lately
HSR new means new content
En mi opinion prefiero más Genshin Impact que Honkai,ya que en Genshin es mucho más fácil la obtención de materiales a mi parecer,pero lo que es a nivel de historia me gusta un poco más Honkai,además de que se me hace más comica. Pero Genshin siempre va a estar al principio para mi UwU
Honestly, i would be interested in the lore but probably get bored cause of the gameplay.
If you want to know what I think of Honkai: Star Rail. Feel like any other every day anime RPG turn base combat. That coming from any free download Gacha RPG turn base combat. I even play like non gacha version of anime turn base combat. In other word it not ever a new breath of fresh air to me.
My personal opinion is that MC is stronger than early Aether due to him being made for combat with minimal persona compared to traveler who get stronger with his character development (doesn’t change the fact that he’s pretty dumb and reckless for old world traveler)
I mean Trailblazer literally standed in front of a large blast in the opening match didn’t die because plot needs happen. Traveler has been pretty smart about traveling a world none their old power and no prior knowledge
Never played turn baised but i like it tho idk what i am doing
Is the mcs of honkai star rail just genderbend and you choose the gender or do both mcs exist lorewise like the mc and his/her abyssal sibling in genshin?
it's just genderbend.
@@paridhi_d9167 I looked at the scene again at there really is a mention of they, but I don't know much about what receptacle means so maybe the pronoun was a mistake.
@@lavidear6286 The MC being a receptacle just means they are a biological vessel that contains Stellaron. It's got nothing to do even remotely with MC's gender or pronouns or anything.
The real difference will be that genshin actually revolutionized mobile gaming and succeeded monetarily.😂
Why wouldnt it make money or be successful Hoyoverse made money with there other projects and the game is well made besides the few apprehensive people who proclaim they won't try it( but secretly will)
It might not reach Genshin level but it was never supposed it's turn based it exist to fill a niche just like ZZZ or Tears Of Themis
They get the money all the same
@@demonking-zm3rs you'll see.
There are several reasons but just to give one, Genshin came out during the pandemic, everybody and their grandma was playing Genshin back in the day.
HSR ain't gonna even touch what Genshin did, but we'll see. I'm prepared to eat my words. You can mark this video in your list and come back to me after a few months.😂👍
@@TheReaIestOne And, did they even claim that Star rail would reach Genshin level? They only claimed that it would STILL succeed monetarily, which it would definitely do considering that HYV's other games also had succeeded
And why are we even arguing about the 2 games? They still are from the same company. You're literally defending a game made by a company against a game made by the SAME COMPANY
It still wouldn't make a difference to Hoyoverse
@@francescoettwedda-1875as a ex Genshin player it very bad, it burns you the fuck out and I might drop the game because of artifact grinding. Found out there’s auto play though, no longer worried. God I hate artifacts so fucking much.
@@-1081 umm I originally did, I said that HSR won't reach genshin heights. Of course it'll earn them some money but it'll never reach half of what genshin gets for hoyo. There was no point in replying if they didn't think otherwise. What's your point?
Hoyoverse put Planky this time.
lmfao bro did Zhongli dirt lmfao
hello
I refuse to play this game for a multitude of reasons.
Biggest is Honkai is not afraid to kill off your favorite character. Doesn't matter, no one is safe. So I'm just not willing to go through absolute depression getting attached to these characters knowing they could be killed off at any moment.
Who says they kill them off? Elysian realm are already dead anyways. Himeko was the only one dead. Dead.
I smell weakness.
Senyora 😭
But she wasn't a playable, so it probably doesn't count.
@@xXSamir44Xx There's nothing wrong with not liking feeling sad about the death of your favorite character. It doesn't make you weaker.
The pain is why i play i cryed like 4 times today cuz of hi3 i can't be mad
The only thing i hate about hsr is WHO TF IS ZALA IDK WHO TF THAT IS I ONLY KNOW THE SEELE THAY DID MY QUEEN DIRTY LIKE THAT
IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO SAY SEAL-E? IS IT ?
(I loveed laylas hangout shes litterly seeles and bronya-chans love child in genshin)
NAH THE REAL DIFFERENCE IS THAT STELLE IS THE MAIN CHARACTER NOT MALE MC
That's why its better on playstation
Why the fuck do people keep comparing Genshin to this game the name is literally from Honkai Impact 3rd Not Genshin!. The amount of disrespect to Honkai Impact players are getting. HONKAI IMPACT 4Life.!
Uhhh I seen more of the opposite ngl
As genshin was my first gacha ever , i am trumatized and i will never play a gacha game ever agian. No thanks . I will not download this .
mc in genshin juat like puppet tbh

Disagree on so many points. Genshin looks good af on my 200 dollar Android phone, play smoothly, and I got used to playing on my phone in a month and never looked back. The convenience difference of playing HSR over Genshin on phone is non-existent. This was a lackluster and disappointing video.
This is not to knock HSR, I'm enjoying the game, but there's no way HSR will ever take priority over Genshin ever. Genshin is just a much bigger, better game objectively.
Kinda agreed. Im a Mobile player since day 1. The freedom of movement in genshin is amazing. When I play hsr - it wasn’t smooth - and no jumping!
its not objectively better. its bigger objectively and will probably always be, but it being better is subjective
For example, i think genshin is probably the weakest Hoyoverse game they released in terms of story that i have played (HI3, HSR, GI)
I also think that the characters in HI3 and HSR are better than 99% of GI's characters
@@jaelon0983 I mean they both pretty strong from my POV that you can imagine them outside thier quest just living life
@@Doraemonhandleeh? The controls on mobile suck like ass compared to playing on a computer. HSR actually feels like I’m playing a game made for mobile. It feels like you’re fishing for stuff to say that Genshin is better when you can’t stop yourself from saying “Genshin better.” Not to mention you brought up literally 1 point you don’t disagree with then went on a rant.
Also Caelus is simply more hotter and simpable than whatever aether has going on for him
its kind of insane how much better the characters are written in star rail
especially the main cast
especially the mc
You lost me when said its turn based game. Not a fan of it, idk who going to play turn based games coz its zero fun and SLOW. Well mby grandmas and grandpas with slow reaction.
Most small brain take in this comment section. Turn based games fill their own niche. Next are you gonna claim chess players are stupid because it's a turn based game?
@@xXSamir44Xx But they didn't say anything about stupidity. They said it was slow and not interesting for them.
Why do you care so much about someone else's opinion?
@@iosis9324 Why did you care enough to reply to mine?
@@xXSamir44Xx fair enough. Idk, maybe because you're trying to attribute something to a person that they didn't say.
Ypu can sped it and it baisicky has an afk mode
people actually play trash like this?
honky impact
I am a GENSHIN player, and no, I have other games to play and also even if I didnt, I still have no reason to try this game
L take. Have fun enjoying your poorly made MSQs 😊
Bro is going to buy milk for over 5 months again
