      I will argue with you with ONE CON - Elements don't seem to have big impact - coz they aren't from Genshin Impact duh :D - anyway I LOVE IT! I freakin' hate that Genshin elemental reactions, and you may ask "BUT WHY are you hater of this mechanic?" COZ I CAN PLAY any character team comp I WANT instead of building just characters to get best combo wombo with elements - IT IS CALLED GATEKEEPING or something. ALSO you are wrong elements have no impact - havoc enemy takes less dmg from havok Rover for example etc. so there is relevance in elements usage BUT it won't that much hold you back (oh and those flying rock enemies are immune to element they are build from - but you know that).

      same reason for me, my account is AR59 last time i tried to go back to genshin story pushed me away again. not having a skip button is terrible especially for uninteresting side quests, and for main story the too much dialogues makes you lose your focus.
      i just find wuthering waves to be the better genshin for me, better mobility, better combat, way less childish, and way less annoying storytelling, main downsides are the worse optimization (even on pc it does stutter sometimes) and the less polish compared to genshin

      Same, but it feels a little like genshin now tbh. Log in, play 10-15 minutes and log out. The rewards are 300 roll currencies for a maintenanace and they give us a free 5 star character that I have no interest in, but that's just me.

      You're not the only one, no one likes it but most people that play just tolerate it. They might fight with you about the complaint with ways to ignore it or "get over" it but if you described a different system, or 7 months from now when the game adds "quality of life" no one will say: "I prefer the old way where it took forever and was tedious."
      That said, what I enjoy in the games overall is mastery of the different characters, enemies, and bosses. That's worth much more than the numbers which are just RNG (gearing) anyway. Being able to fight enemies without getting hit and maximize rotations and combos is worthwhile. And once mastered on a given character or team, learning it on different teams is where the replay value comes in prior to new content. You might enjoy the game similarly, but it would be MUCH better if the game focused around such a loop instead of promoting just collecting currency for showing up every day.
      For example, if each character came with their own bounty list of achievements that basically rewarded you for mastering all the enemies and combos of the character: such as "Defeat 10 XXXXX without taking any damage," "Perform 6 outro skills within 1 minute" and of course defeating each of the bosses with each character, etc.
      These games are moving towards being games people actually play as opposed to games you just collect and manage, so I'm hopeful within the next few years they will continue on this path adding more gameplay focus without losing the excitement of story, characters, and frequent updates as well as the accessibility of auto/skip/clear functions.

    Honestly, as somebody who put a decent number of hours in... if you're gonna play a gacha game at all, play Wuthering Waves. The story is awful at first, but quickly gets at least somewhat interesting. Meanwhile, the combat is the real draw. It's actually fun and not *just* "mash the same button 500 times", though there is a healthy bit of that too. The dailies aren't things that are annoying to do, they're things that you're likely to end up doing anyway and most can be completed accidentally while burning your energy. Overall, solid game. I only stopped playing because I switched to Linux full time and there's no Linux launcher yet.

  • @manoA98A
    @manoA98A 3 місяці тому +4

    Ok Pgr ,Ark,Ba, Hsr and Gi player here and LV50 Wuwa.
    Basically what you said is true, but let me just a few things
    1) Soundtracks in Wuwa are not good in comparison to other gacha games like PGR (Both Kuro Games). That's because they didn't use Vanguard studio to create the ost.
    Compare Dreamless ost, to Luna's theme: ua-cam.com/video/QT7WyrhbFAI/v-deo.html , just for instance. They are galaxy apart imo
    2) The echo farming is terrible. It is true that at maximum data bank you obtain four golden echos (Echos= artifacts), but the substat rolling is way worse than HSR and GI.
    2.1)Same echos don't give the bonus required to reach the 5 piece set, meaning that you don't even have a free slot artifact.
    What I mean is, if I obtain a lizard lv3 with Electro Damage bonus, but I have another Lizard lv3 with electro damage bonus, I won't be able to put them in the same set cause of this stupidity.
    3)The echo bonus are not even shown unless you upgrade them
    4)The non-upgrade echo lv3 and lv4 can't be used to upgrade other echos like Gi and HSR, this slows the farming process a lot
    5)The fact that you have to teleport each time you want to synthethize something ( 3pieces blue to obtain one violet) is stupid and time consuming
    6)The challenge of the boss gives violet stone, which in terms of gacha currency, are useless. They just give materials. Meaning that, challenging Cronwless lv6 is useless if not for your own amusement.
    7)The abyss system penalizes people who don't have time to build so many teams and characters owing to the stamina system. Now in PGR there is the same stamina system, but in Wuwa since the farming is way slower, this penalizes the player much more than PGR. You are obliged to build a minimum of two teams and more for the final two floors
    8)Open world ost are boring and repetitive, making the exploration flat and void
    9)A lot of characters seems out of the blue and poor selling. What I mean is, who is Chalcharo? Just a random hot guy? They removed his first appeareance in the story in closed beta1, and now many characters like him and Verina just feels empty and poor attachment to them. In Genshin impact Diluc, Razor and even Lisa, where sold well through the main story and story quest. These characters feels empty in comparison. That's the same mistake that Tower of Fantasy did. We had Merly, King ( the Diluc clone), but who where they? What role they played in the story? Why should I pull for them? If you lack reason to get attached or know a character, then you also slowly lose the interest in the game itelfs.
    Overlall, as a PGR player, for now, if I have to be honest, I give this game a 7 out of 10. It has a lot of space of improvement, it's still unripe, like a green apple or an uncoocked cake. Kuo games listen to the players, so, we hope for the best

The review confirms that the game is the best complete gacha in the market, I tried out StarRail, really disappointed. It got open world, graphically really good, combat system optimized and challenging at post-release contents, and I guess even before, and cool action anime boss fights. I love the "gotta catch them all" content too (lol). If I have a con to say: don't play the game on mobile, poor movement design, had been trying to climb a ladder for 5 minutes at the start of the game. I feel this gacha gonna take most of my time. Got a desired waifu Resonator as 1st try, Daijin, for free! This game is not greedy on the gacha side I noticed, just like the video says, 80 attempts for 5-star instead of regular 90 like in PGR (which is from the same game company, and really good as well), and at each attempts you get a currency to spent in the shop for guarantued stuffs it seems.

    I know Gachas are taboo especially in the west. But if there's a gacha company and a game that I could honestly recommend to at least try for a non-gacha player is this. Primarily, due to how the devs are communitive and receives feedback. The developers of this game (Kuro Games) are one of the best you could get in gacha. And I've played a lot of them including Hoyo games.
    As for the game. Imagine Genshin with DMC combat and switch mechanics and pokemon.
    I know this is an ad, but Peon's review is actually fair. And the devs are known yo just let their sponsored CC to just say whatever (according to Stix while talking to Tectone during an interview). The only big con is that it's gacha which means the systems related to it eill be there. That's it.
    Also to Peon. Grab as many reputable sponsors as you can. We won't judge you. These people are hypocrites. As if they wouldn't entertain sponsors if they're on your shoes.
