If youre closing in on your 30’s this games an absolute nostalgia injection. It looks and feels like my favorite games of the time, persona, megaman legends, jet set radio, viewtiful joe, etc... It feels like im back in my childhood home watching toonami on the family CRT television, snacking on red hot cheetos fries and sipping hawaiian punch.
Yo, just watched all of your ZZZ reactions, and after this video decided to finally subscribe. Love your reaction and gameplay! It's doubly interesting to watch, because I played this game back when it came and seeing reworked cutscenes and Bangboo sections is straight up new content for me, please keep doing a good job!
HSR is still my favourite for now because how far I am and how invested but this one is so unique and sets itself apart in fun ways! looking forward to making more progress for sure 😁
I didn't know they changed how the previous chapters flow as well when they were updating the game systems. Also it seems they added dialogue to explain things a bit more. Were all the TV sections replaced with Bangboo parts in the main story?
No need to regret choosing Wise. While Belle has a much livelier personality than her brother, Wise will definitely grow on you as the story progresses. I felt the same way at first, but now I’m glad I chose Wise. This is mainly because the game has a date and quality time system with your collected agents, and having Wise charming and rizzing these playable characters felt like a fun self-insert moment-hahaha! That aside, if you pick Wise, Belle becomes your sidekick and gets more lines in the dialogue than the sibling you choose. You can enjoy her wit and silliness a lot more this way. Plus, the writer made sure to flesh out the main characters in the later chapters, so you’ll see their personalities shine even more.
They aren't that blank slate. Belle and Wise has the best non-blank-slate main characters so far among gacha games. Their personalities are obviously different and a lot of effort went into making them felt different and not self-insert outside of the trust events.
30:39 Eous is the personification of the dawn it self. Daughter of the Titan Hyperion and the Titaness Theia and sister of Helios, the sun god, and Selene, the moon goddess.
It's only a dynasty warriors game in the early game, once you get to the endgame it becomes more like a fighting game. When they turn off the yellow and red attack indicators you actually have to start reading the boss movesets and countering or dodging properly. Also, Billy has damage falloff at a distance so you're incentivized to play up close and point blank. He is much less safe to play if you want to max out his damage.
ZZZ is the best Hoyo game or rather the best Gacha game in general from the story to the presentation, the gameplay, the graphics and the characters everything is top-tier. U'r gonna enjoy this a lot...!!👍👍👍👍
As a ZZZ player, love seeing new people get into it, it’s a daily game for me but I got in relatively late (1.3) so love feeling like I’m actually ahead for once lol. Hope to see more ZZZ wasteman
@ChocolateKieran I've been playing since the game was released, but I quit when I lost 50-50 to a robot girl twice in a row. 2 months not playing this game, and I lost burnice, ceaser and lighter 😭
Man, this game is unique by the artstyle and atmosphere unlike other hoyos which brings my attention to hoyo itself. It’s sad that majority were disappointed from the start, and here we go they promised that this patch will hope to bring back correct the right from the wrong. Just like you heard that right! Im glad. Wasteman!
soooo glad u started ZZZ!!! it's extremely fun storytelling to me !! I do love reading but just dialogues is not as fun as actual novels so HSR has been hard for me... and ZZZ is a good "show not tell"
I took the Monica reference to be for doki doki literature club "Only Monica" (If you haven't looked at Doki Doki literature club, I recommend not judging it by it's cover, it is NOT what it looks like, there's a reason that Psychological Horror is one of its genres) Also the Bangboo stuff blew my mind, I had no idea they added gameplay to the bangboos, crazy that they introduced it into early game, since any that had played at launch would miss it.
wasteman. glad you're playing this game! I also came back during 1.4 after dropping it in 1.0 and I've been enjoying this game so much more than I anticipated. Managed to get myself Miyabi and her W-engine and loved the vergil-style gameplay. I hope you enjoy this game as much as I do or more
@@ChocolateKieran they are overhyping it a little bit. it’s not better than Penacony or Fontaine . A more accurate rating would be the best 1.x story in the 3 hyv games
@@ChocolateKieran yep, it keeps getting better and better with every update and im not just saying that 😭 im blown away every new quest and i cant wait for the next patch already, so i hope u get to catch up soon!
@@ChocolateKierani'm played from day one. In fact, the progression of the story up to the third chapter was reworked, because the “TVs” were greatly reduced, replacing them with a run with the help of Eous
My second main game besides Genshin, love it mostly. But I'm still hate grind in every gacha game especially (i was tired of grind and power creep in HSR so quit it around 2.1)
@ChocolateKieran i do admit, i got into it because of lycaon LOL, but i grew to love every aspect of it, especially as the only games I've played in my life were the sims, minecraft and devil may cry 5 🤣

Hope you get sucked into ZZZ the way a lot of us have. Game is super fun and the characters are really likable and if you can get past the more "out there" character designs then i'm sure you'll have a ton of fun....Wasteman :)
1000 likes if you want more ZZZ! We’re gonna try and start Honkai Star Rail 2.7 on twitch on Monday, then back on Wuthering Waves! 😤
16:03 As far as I can tell Monica in the game is supposed to be Marilyn Monroe
Bro HSR is already at 3.0 and trust me you do not want in on that fuckfest 😭😭😭
man the animations, both in-game and in the cutscenes, are incredible. I'm in love with ZZZ devs team.
definitely a unique style to their previous games, they did a great job! caught me off guard with the comic book style 😂
Btw that power ranger from the start on tv is billy’s favourite show “Starlight Knight” which he always mentions it.
@@OnlyMiyabi I won't be surprised if they became playable
yeah I realised in the story later in the video he brings it up ☺️ I hope we can summon for one of them at some point!
@@thewhutnow5795 Or he could imagine on transforming into one of them, that would be sicks too
32:50
They are actually doing a Bangboo fall guys event next patch in 1.5, It'll be multiplayer

@@thenoisyninja 35 and this checks. Also gives me strong Sega genesis vibes at times with the film reels on the top and bottom borders
We gotta get this video to 1k guys! He's finally done it
almost caught up to HSR too, so we can focus on this and WuWa 😤
"They should do a fall guys mode for bangboos-"
Ver 1.5: Well, I have the surprise for you~
Yo, just watched all of your ZZZ reactions, and after this video decided to finally subscribe.
Love your reaction and gameplay!
It's doubly interesting to watch, because I played this game back when it came and seeing reworked cutscenes and Bangboo sections is straight up new content for me, please keep doing a good job!
I appreciate it, thank you!!! I'll definitely be conitnuing for sure 😁 I'll be micing in our catcing up of HSR, Wuwa and this!
this is the best hoyo game by far, not even close for me.
HSR is still my favourite for now because how far I am and how invested but this one is so unique and sets itself apart in fun ways! looking forward to making more progress for sure 😁
@@ChocolateKieran yeah, HSR is sick. I love the humor, the story and the characters but I'm just not a big fan of turn-based combat.
I didn't know they changed how the previous chapters flow as well when they were updating the game systems. Also it seems they added dialogue to explain things a bit more. Were all the TV sections replaced with Bangboo parts in the main story?
Not everywhere, but on some earlier tv sections now we have Eous platformer

@@dorkymorky7065 I definitely appreciate we can still see the other sibling and that they’re both their own character.
Nah Belle on top
@@Drunkendrakonboth are good bro.

oh damn i also started just 2 weeks ago. i am absolutely loving this game! looking forward to your thoughts on it
welcome, my fellow new friends 🤝🏾
As a ZZZ player, love seeing new people get into it, it’s a daily game for me but I got in relatively late (1.3) so love feeling like I’m actually ahead for once lol. Hope to see more ZZZ wasteman
Also you can turn on autoplay for the dialog and there's a lot less long pauses between characters.
You finally did it, 6 months later, wow
just in time for them to streamline the game too 😂

best gacha from hoyoverse imo, keep playing it it's a W
will be continuing when I finish HSR 2.7 next week 🫡
Fun Fact about Billy, he's Caesar's first champion before Lighter joined the Sons of Calydon.
YES!!! LETS GOOO! I’m so happy you’re playing this! (Wasteman)
all the “wasteman” comments are making my day 😂 thank you
This game is so funny, the expressions of the characters are hilarious, and history and things you have to play are sooo goood. Hope you enjoy It 🥰

Youknowhowlongi'vebeenwaitingforthis
immabouttamakeanameformyselfhere!
bro wait for miyabi arc XDD
somebody said it’s better than Penacony, so I’m looking forward to seeing how that goes!
@ChocolateKieran lets just say she is "the storm that is aproaching"
@@ChocolateKieran they are overhyping it a little bit. it’s not better than Penacony or Fontaine . A more accurate rating would be the best 1.x story in the 3 hyv games
He isn't ready for the storm that is approaching or her sister
I hope you continue to stream the game, the main story is amazing, including the filler episodes.
You chose the literally the best time to begin this game
it finally begins, i hope you do continue to play the chapters because it gets a lot more peak later on
WE NEED MORE
ZZZ RAAAAAAH IM HERE FOR IT
wasteman ! super excited to see u give this a try :))
thank you! looking forward to catching up, I’ve heard it gets REALLY good!
@@ChocolateKieran yep, it keeps getting better and better with every update and im not just saying that 😭 im blown away every new quest and i cant wait for the next patch already, so i hope u get to catch up soon!
Let's goo, he's one of the Wise Men!
32:46 wish granted for 1.5
Been playing hoyo games since 2020 and this is my favorite one so far
can't wait to watch your next zzz gameplay!!!🙌🔥
Dude did you try the way it used to be before, you can still try it and if you did, what are your thoughts???
I haven’t! how can you play the old version? I was thinking of watching somebody play through it to see the difference because I was curious
@@ChocolateKierani'm played from day one. In fact, the progression of the story up to the third chapter was reworked, because the “TVs” were greatly reduced, replacing them with a run with the help of Eous
For some reason I can’t watch the vid on twitch. It’s saying “We’ve encountered a problem while’s loading your premium content.”
that’s weird… you’re trying to watch the twitch VOD for this? I’ll try and get it uploaded on the VOD channel on UA-cam next week
Welcome
Hi kierran, you predicted it. They're doing fall guys bangboo next update lol😂
well, they changed some after the updates and still it’s the best so far
we all agree hoyo cooked here
they really did! looking forward to seeing how this sets itself apart the more I play
Sup Wasteman, thanks for the vid, hope you continue it!
CN does have beeping on the swear parts.
Don't know about JP and KR, most likely yes too.
You can now switch gender both WuWa and ZZZ
You can't in ZZZ, only for overworld exploration but not for story, commisions, etc.
My second main game besides Genshin, love it mostly. But I'm still hate grind in every gacha game especially (i was tired of grind and power creep in HSR so quit it around 2.1)
MY FAVOURITE GAME YAY
I can see why, got some fun and unique presentation!
@ChocolateKieran i do admit, i got into it because of lycaon LOL, but i grew to love every aspect of it, especially as the only games I've played in my life were the sims, minecraft and devil may cry 5 🤣
Yeah i cant take up another one.😂
honestly, I respect it 😂 it’s pretty good though so far!
@ChocolateKieran i looks go but i must resist taking on another Gacha XD
I started a new account just because Belle is just so much more fun to play as
Pro tip get miyabi as fast as you can before she leaves your account will thank you
- Thanks for the playthrough.
- But I'm not happy about the changes - I loved the TVs and I suck at jump & run; even when it's like the Matrix in Shadowrun.
- I like all narrative modes and just play that for which I'm in the mood.
- Nice assists, I almost always botch the timing or the buttons.
- They massively extended Wise explanation, added some combat stages and a lot of dialog to the hacking scene.
Hope you get sucked into ZZZ the way a lot of us have. Game is super fun and the characters are really likable and if you can get past the more "out there" character designs then i'm sure you'll have a ton of fun....Wasteman :)
YEAH ANOTHER GAMBLING GAME THAT KIERAN PLAY EXCITING!!! (Not really)
I choose to play Belle cuz she to meme in cutscene
honestly kind of regretted choosing the guy almost instantly 😭 it don’t feel right somehow
@@ChocolateKieran I'm pretty sure you can switch later, no worries.
@@ntvinh20 But the cutscenes wont change 🥲
@@OnlyMiyabi damn... Hope we get that function later on.
Me I choose wise and I regret nothing but on my other account I choose Belle as well
Man i thought u already played zzz anyways when arknights
You should play jp voice you will constantly being called onii-chan by your sister 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Belle is better tbh but to each there own Ill likely choose wise to experience the alternate scenes on a different account.
NGL after seeing their personalities I regretted it 😭
