My Honkai Star Rail Review After 150 Hours:
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- While there is a lot more to come for Honkai: Star rail, I wanted to give my thoughts currently. This game is super casual, and will be filled with mini games in 1.1. For some people this is great news, but for me, I still wish they launched with more CONTENT

150 hours. That's more than your usual $60 JRPG. As a live service game, yeah, it's a game to play on your phone. And it's great for that. If you also play Genshin... You really won't have time for much else as a working adult, especially if you have a social life too lol
150 hours split over a month, and half of it was killing time talking to chat :S
@Mtashed that's fine lol I enjoy the game at a decent pace inside of try hardening the full time. Game is super good! Live service have to be played very carefully
is this a pin of shame moment
@@MTashed You're cringe
@@__bayon nah, it's ok. People have different opinions. And I'm not trying to defend the game. It's just that I've paid for worse experiences lol
Star Rail is like a small rain puddle but we want it to be as deep as a pool
This is the best comment I've seen in this video, people here at delusional.
Dawg dats deep
Once you step in you can never go back
super pumped for the D4 content glad you are doing it baby!
I agree about how that is not much to be done after story, and about how we can simply "brute force" bosses. But hey, the game is new so it will need time to add more content. I hope that Hoyoverse can expand the game to the right direction, and learn from the already well-established gold standard turn-based game (E7, SW, FGO)
Super awesome of you to acknowledge that you just might not be built for gacha games and move on to games that suit you better, will be watching you regardless of what games you cover. Been watching since d2 so it's nothing new for me.
He acknowledged it then play another gacha game then complain again. Like grow up bro.
@@mochizu9892 this is only his second gacha game though, takes more than 1 gacha game to see if you like the genre or not bruh lol
@@HikariSakai nah, you can see that he is not built for it. Genshin gets repetitive for him and he complains for half a year for it and didn't quit then jump to hsr knowing mihoyo also made them then gets repetitive and boring the complain about it. And for sure he will not quit and will continue to complain about it.
@@HikariSakai furthermore, this is not his second gacha. You can see on his ch sometimes some other gacha that he tried out and probably quit because it's not popular rather than it is not good.
yeah, After 3 years!
The problem with building several heroes is we just don't have the resources to do so, I hope they do tend to this issue
Yeah, while they keep releasing new chars to get you hyped.
I think it's definitely possible, it's just a bit of a bottleneck at the moment since it's the very start of the game and we're ranking up characters sub-optimally by not being max world level. Trace RNG should definitely be improved though, the last difficulty needs to give 1 purple per run at minimum.
It's same as genshin like no jk the energy system, character mats and same ol not being able to grind enough artifacts with limited resources
@@Aura96968 yeah the problem here is that you need not only to farm gear but also skill mats and upgrade mats, with so many characters that you need, the 180 stamina will never be enough, and at a 16h to full refresh it's even crazier
That’s just how gacha games work. It’s meant to push you to spend money.
I support you branching out into non-gacha game content on the channel! I'm in the same boat with Honkai - I very much enjoy the game but there's just not much to do right now. I would love to see some Diablo 4 content from you - I'm planning on jumping into some D4 at launch.
I think of it like this, in Genshin if you look at Mondsadt vs the newest area Sumeru the areas are very different. Sumeru being extremely vibrant and full of life and things to look at while Mondsadt is honestly pretty baron in comparison. I really think it's all about the money they have for the games and since Hoyo made SO much on the release of Honkai Star Rail I guarantee you we will be seeing a ton more content and areas and the areas will be so much more fleshed out and beautiful with more things to do. We can even see it with just this upcoming update with how fleshed out it is. So I'm fairly hopeful about the upcoming content with it being better and better.
I also think with the game furthering there will probably be more complex and interesting bosses to fight and therefor more complex and interesting situational characters. But since the game is still early game they're trying to make all the content playable even if you don't have certain characters built so it's not surprising that most of it is DPS check.
funny because i think its the opposite. monstadt was boring and bland and the newest region in sumeru is literally only 20% playable and the rest empty land. HSR started off with a normal space station, a normal town and an interesting sky city. none of it is open world so it is super tiny, chests dont respawn and u literally get 2 credits from breaking barrels. the world in start rail is painfully empty, there is nothing to do and this new update just shows even more issues with this game.
we waited what? 3 months for a content drop and they drop a literal autoplaying event that you can just spam a button with some of the MOST tedious missions ive done in this game attached to it AND THEN YOU CANT PLAY IT ANYMORE AFTER IT COMPLETES IT SELF. this is a terrible sign for the future of this game. and thats all we got. maybe we get the other 3 character missions they promised but god knows when thats gonna happen.
dont let the new paint fool you or the "stellar jade" they are giving us for "free" bribe you. this game is already on a terrible path.
You have hope in a predatory company? Yeesh.
@@kregman6928 The "world" in Honkai is bland and almost 2d. Its got a great story and I'm having a bit of fun, but the environment in honkai is pretty basic at best.
@Hiro.Savant if you don't like Hoyo why is it on your feed? Do something better with your time
I'm with you on Diablo4 bro. Will be waiting for your guides and gameplays!
Great Honest Video Mtashed! I'm a bit bias but I love the grinding in HSR... for now. I do NOT spend much time in Memory of Chaos (@ Phase 4, TL52 and BP-spender). The Game is AS I expected before I start playing it and it's Perfect... for me. I grind HSR 1.5 hours a day and I Grind/Play Genshin 30-60 min a day (Story, Side quests, Events). I also laugh watching Mtashed, Tectone and others @ Twitch/YT. Most of my time I spend though with my Loved Ones. 🙂
Personally, I find the story and universe of Honkai: Star Rail to be really interesting (end of Belobog currently) and while the combat may not be the best turn-based combat I've experienced, it is quite well done and enjoyable to play through (at least for now). Character personalities and designs are great too. It is incredibly surprising how much quality is packed into this game which is both free and playable on a mobile phone.
Combat isnt that balanced in early game but since there are characters for buffs and debuffs or cleansing it might get better when enemies wont be so easy to kill without using them
yeah, I never was into lore but with this game I WANT to read the books and the text is very easy to read. I love the Xianzhou lore so much!
It's not free out of generosity. Don't forget that.
I wouldn't even say the characters have good personalities. They all give off the same vibe. In ACTUAL RPG's, you run into the literally biggest d*ck of the century as a characters. Or characters that want absolutely nothing to do with you, or just general conflict. But this game...it just feels like everyone is perfect and everyone is on your side at all times. Stop promoting the trash personalities of Mihoyo characters...
This is the only game that makes me keep searching for garbage bin and have some fun.... LUL
Ur such a brave person good job, and hopefully ur content thrives❤
i feel you on this one brother been addicted to this game but ive basically ran out of everything now its just a slow daily grind
So excited to hear you’re making Diablo content! I’m planning to grind the hell out of that game :D
The reviews for Diablo looks so, so positive. It’s gonna be great. Can’t wait to start a Sorcerer build. Probably doing Necromancer second.
I've heard people beat the hardest diablo content in like 3 days, good luck with that.
Piss off hoyo shill @siphi
Just play what you enjoy, viewer will also enjoy more the streams when you are having fun. I know sometimes one has to stick with games for more time due to the $$$ it brings in and maybe balancing it with another game that you are also exited helps, but unfortunately during these recent years there have not been any big games that capture a lot of viewers that are not gatcha.
Same i feel exactly same I really love the gameplay but there isn't much to do after like lvl 50 or so.
Yeah, I am getting pretty bored. I open the game only to check that I only have 40 stamina which can be consumed in less than 5 minutes. This game ain't for me.
I don’t think brute forcing units are an option unless you have units like Seele. I have two accounts. One with Seele and one with Jing Yuan and it’s WAYYY harder. Also not having welt on the second account really hurts too. I see people like Grimro Gacha talking about new meta but all of the team comps require Bronya and Tingyun and damn near everyone clearing memory of chaos has a Seele.
Yeah but you only have one seele, you still have to beat the other half, even if you can speed run one of the half in record breaking time with seele, bronya and etc
@@brentlee6616 I agree but my biggest issue with Jing Yuan is how limited his team comps are to get the same effect you get with Seele. Honestly I can slot Seele with any team comp and could clear memory of chaos up until the point where you need two teams. Welt in my opinion is better because he fits in more team comps and enables more DPS because he’s slowing enemies. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Jing Yuan drop to an A tier unit over time
Imagining if stamina system is not a thing, we may get the old "Mtashed whole day farming for Spare Ration" kind of video.
then it wouldn't be a real gacha so not sure he would play it 🤣
@@YunPlays do you think he only plays gachas???
@@gcarsk from his videos, yup
haha i think he will burn out farming those materials, anyone will
@@YunPlays He was a destiny player before gacha era.
Thanks a lot for the content!
Great video! Thank you!!
My starting character has an ultimate that apparently can switch between a single target mode and an AOE mode - but HOW do you switch between those two? my character keeps auto-using the single target variant of that attack
Mtashed I would love to see you becoming a variety streamer honestly dude, you have great insights on a lot of stuff and can do a lot of theory crafting but for some reason you limit yourself to such a small pool of games. I think you would do so much better stream wise etc if you tried a lot more games WoW/FF14/Shooters whatever, I'm loving the d4 coverage but at some point it's going to end up being the same where it stagnates, but if you hoped around to a bunch of other games did fun stuff, and then came back to these games when more content come about I would like to see that more. Either way, been watching you since 2020, always love seeing new Mtash content, keep up the hard work buddy :)
Tbh all of this is true, I’m just sticking with since it is only the first patch and unlike Genshin it isn’t exploration like you mentioned, so genshin’s honey moon phase could last a lot longer.
To be fair ive played alot of mobile turn based character collecter games such as galaxy of heroes and marvel strike force for years. They all follow the same gameplay loop basically grinding for resources on a daily basis only difference with those games is you have raids and arena to participate in for rewards and compete against other players. I think honkai would benefit from some sort of pvp or at least events you could play with others
Looking forward to your Diablo videos! Love your content
It’s nice to see you’re doing fine and enjoying other games.
With Genshin at the end, you sounded like in a really bad place.
Good luck to you Mtashed, and have fun !
Sounds good bro I'm excited for Diablo 4 myself and I'll for sure be watching your videos on it
where did you get the destiny sweater that you're wearing
Im a grinder and i love grinding, that is what i consider fun. So i do understand a lil bit of how you feel if not entirely cz im at a point where im shocked that now i hv to really think who to upgrade for 1 skill level up in a day.
Does anyone know if Mtash has played dragons nest? It was such a great game for me and he could find a lot of fun on it
Will admit, got hooked on your channel because of your Genshin videos. I do enjoy it when all of you and chat are enjoying the content so I think it's best to give gacha games a break once in a while and focus on the game that you'll truly have fun in the long run. Then maybe cover Star Rail and Genshin for little bit when a new content comes out. Regardless, giving you all the love and respect man!
Hm, well overall im really enjoying the game i dont mind waiting for the updates, etc. I ve been going everyday doing everything i can like kill every mob on the map and stuff and i just kinda enjoy playing the game or going around on the game even when im not doing anything specific.
Gotta give it also to simulated universe, I really like the rogue like style it gives and its kinda a game mode that, for now, doesn't feel repetitive, I like it.
So i feel like for the most part the game is still challenging for me as a free to play and get really satisfied whenever i can go throught an obstacle via team build changing and stuff. It feels really good. Idk if you are a p2p but since you say things like simulated universe are easy on 6.3 when I just got past 6.1 like 2 days ago I kinda feel you spent some money on the game and if you did theres kinda the answer the game got so boring all of a sudden for you.
7:31
I love the music in the Simulated Universe menu. It's nice.
PLEASE HELP WITH UR OPINION, I know u prob won't see this, but i have a question, so im saving for Blade, he should come out either on July18th or August 8th, now i have 175 pulls so far, i buy the 90jades pass daily always, so ill have some by the time he comes, now i wonder is it better to Pull for Luocha when he comes and risk not getting Blades Lightcone, or just save everything and assure i get Blade and his Lightcone, at the end of the day, question is, is it better to have Luocha and Blade, or Blade and his weapon and just fill the rest of the team randomly?
My biggest critique of Genshin and now Honkai are that the energy systems feel more like they don't have enough faith in the longevity of their game without it. I would love to mix/max all of my units at max level and play with a lot of different teams but because the assumption is "we aren't sure we've made good enough content to keep users long term" you have to focus specific units and that just feels bad to me. Genshin has FAR too much content and FAR too many characters to keep the current resin system and it just feels bad as someone who loves both games.
it's not just that, it's there to get you logging everyday out of fomo and pay out of your wallet to have a few more mins to play with refreshes
When its a game thats designed to have you play in 20-30mins a day, its not lack of faith its to keep people logging in.
Or put it this way, you played Ragnarok for a about 40hrs, say 3 weeks. You done with the game and majority of people have no reason to come back besides doing the same story you already know.
It’s there to make you log in everyday and tempt you to spend money on refresh or use your gems on refresh so you spend money on the characters that’s why every single gacha game ever has it. It’s not about not believing in longevity it’s about money
It's not because they dont have Faith. That's just how every gacha works. The idea is for you to not get fed up with the game by playing too much. This strategy works perfectly in most idle rpg and gacha games und you always want to log in every day to play because you know that you will miss on recourse and progress if you don't. Because you are playing it every day it becomes a routine and you don't forget about the game. If you don't play a game for multiple days you might just lose weight the interest in it but like this you always go in and play. It's brilliant strategy that clearly works.
I played this other gatcha game where there was this item u could collect after completing world stages and use to increase the resin/ energy cap which could be good in genshin and hsr
i agree with both ur pros and cons of the game
i feel a lot of people are in the honeymoon phase and especially if ur a more casual player, u wont see the game's shortcoming that much, but nonetheless ive been having a blast with the game (maybe cause i was so bored of genshin lmao)
a lot of people say oh it's a f2p gacha liveservice game there's only so much content u can do but u gotta remember that us asking for small features that can make the game infinitely better from a billion dollar company is deserved.
Anyhow, good vid :)
I hope to see this game last longterm and actually change up SU and MOC as we progress but who knows
I agree with you in many aspects but I would like to comment: 1. Brute force works the same way in genshin, yelan C 6, raiden C 2, weapons, hyperbloom, although now it is more viable to take a healer before it was not even necessary. 2. Genshin is currently better than Honkai SR because of the exploration and the beautiful settings of the genshin, but have you noticed that the game, in its version 1.0, has already brought us more content of end game fights than the genshin itself in its 3.7 It is evident that this game will focus more on that aspect in the future because the tcg and the housing do not make sense here. I still understand your frustration and I hope you keep doing HSR content.
At current stage having boss that required spesific team comp is bad. We are dry building just 1 - 2 team for MoC. Now having to build extra unit just for 1 boss with our current grinding model sound very bad.
im having fun. i got other things to play thats not hsr and still got time to login and do dailies
i feel like if mtashed is a youtuber a couple of years before he previously start, he would be pretty hooked by brave frontier, and he would be pretty hardcore about it, damn miss those years, (2013-2014)
Love that game
Love you bro
im gonna need a recap for the latter half of xianzhou bc i had no clue what was happening tbh i was tired when i was palyign through it all
Mtashed made a video, great now lets wait for Teccys 34 reaction videos on this
I think Mtashed needs to tamper his expectations towards Hyv's games, just anime/ J RPGs or Gacha games in general.
Both HSR and Genshin Impact are story-focused games, the part which he always speed runs. I consider myself pretty deep into Hyv games because I'm Captain lvl max in Honkai Impact 3rd, AR 56 in Genshin ( Quit Genshin months ago ) and HSR TL 52.
What Mtashed wants is a game which is " Talk of the town, have hard content which is grindable for several hundreds of hours or more but doesn't become redundant and make countless videos on it".
Some people say HI3 has endgame and yes, but only a tiny bit because it is another Story-heavy game.
There's 2 Endgame modes, Abyss (compete against players in your bracket for rewards) & Memoria Arena ( Compete with players in your server_ be it NA or SEA over Boss Scores). A rouge-like - Elysium Realm which is a different version of Simulated Universe_HSR. All those 3 take you less than 5 hours per week even if you try to get your score as high as possible and the rest are just small events. Resource farming takes even less time than Genshin because it lets you get everything in one click + 1-2 manual gear-farming runs everyday.
From what I've seen, even Zenless Zone Zero is likely to be considerably casual like Aether Gazer instead of having a grindy late game .There are quite a few anime / J RPGs out there which fit the description but they aren't as nearly polished as Hyv games and not popular enough.
An exception is Punishing Gray Raven , which he dropped because it's not popular enough and daunting at first. Its Bible Tower difficulty can be raised to the point of depressing, with enemies and bosses which you need to spend time and learn the mechanics to beat them.
You're already rich enough, to just do whatever makes you happy with your content, Tashedman.
what abt fights where u have to win in a certain # of turns?
good review !
Would like to see Mtashed react to Chyna f2p content vid that can clear up to MoC lvl 7
Is it cuz they were lucky or cuz they made use of teams /mechanics Mtashed didn't thought of
1:02 LETS GOOOO
where do you get the 6 eidolon for fire mc?
He didnt have 6 eidolon
Did Mtashed stream Elden Ring or Returnal? I'd love to watch him play those. Elden Ring especially, my favourite game in years
Well, that's the 'problem' of being a full time content creator. I'm a working family man and I have an hour free for gaming each day. I just finished HSR's main story a few days ago and I now spend half an hour doing dailies and running around solving puzzles, maybe 1 side quest, and Simulated universe if I have the time. I still have 10+ side quests to go through. The game has enough content for me to go through for months, or at least keep me interested until the next update, but I totally understand that it doesn't have enough for people that play 5+ hours each day.
Same. I've got two jobs, and tons of personal projects, so the hour I get to play HSR each day is either enough to work through sidequests and explore (then set my characters to auto-battle for energy spending while I make a meal), or progress the main story a bit.
See, you are the prime audience for HYV to target (along with the whales ofc), so this makes alot of sense. They’ve made their point by making Honkai Star Rail the way it is, and content creators who don’t whale aren’t as pleased as those like you. Nothing against you or HYV, but i just thought it should be said.
@@boom-jr8vi Thank you. It's true that to each game, there is a certain audience that will appreciate it most.
I'm so tired of content creators having the loudest voice when it comes to this exactly. Their capacity to play games is not reality. It's literally their full time job. Where are the content creators that are acknowledging the busy parent or the 70 hour a week employee...??
@@richardhamwi Exactly! The majority of people playing these games DON'T have the amount of free-time to dedicate to playing games that these creators do. 🤦♂
Hey just food for thought, maybe u should start doing like patch reviews too around the end of each patch.
imagine a boss trying to force you to use a charecter just to counter it's mechanic otherwise you kind of lose, man being forced to build a charecter for that sucks
that's like gacha 101. that's how they get players to pull the latest character.
@LostConciousness no it's only for turn based games cuz for example while devs made counter for ven ult he is not useless however u can't dodge in turn based games so ya
@@lostconciousness4255 Yes and no. Yes, I had to build maybe 1-2 units I didn't enjoy much in Genshin just to get a different elemental reaction but for the most part, I never had to build this many characters early game. Star Rail is actually forcing me to build all sorts of different elements because of the different mechanics of the game and being turn based. And it's WAY more expensive then Genshin. You don't just have 5 artifacts, you have 6. You don't just level up 3 talents, you have 4 talents and then extensions of those.
the game got super boring really quick, but i'm glad because that means i can stay f2p without missing much
is it better than raid shadow legends or not ?
TNX TASH MAN cant w8 for teccy to react to this
"want the boss that can heal itself". Just wait for the deer boss (the boss that follows the abunance path). It hasnt been released yet for some reason, bu we'all have been experienced the battle during the storyline
Just other perspective, how would you feel if boss had some mechanic that you couldn't beat bcs you didn't get character that can deal with that mechanic? The example with healing that could pela strip is perfect for that. You arent guaranteed to get pela so what would you do with that bossfight without her?
I just feel that it would be bad game design to make somethink like that...
Ofc solutions for that could be that the healing wouldnt be that strong but then you are back to just simply overdamaging it...
Im gonna watch even if you update diablo dont have the game because moneys tight but ill watch you play so i have a direction when i eventually start
I just started playing and I'm going to be honest I've been looking for the next brave frontier and to star rail seems like the closest thing I have seen
You should try Another Eden
The difference btwn this game and Genshin is that this is a honkai game. There’s already more end game that Genshin and there will be more end game added in a Honkai game. It’s only 1.0 and I’m still on the Hopium that they will add more.
im on the same boat, but there's this lingering rumour inside of me that Hoyoverse is not the same company as we know and love years ago...
@Mtashed Are you gonna try Black clover/Diablo
He’s playing Diablo as his main game starting tomorrow.
Gacha games like HSR are really not meant to be played for long hours at a time but as little increments for a prolonged period of time (FGO and summoners war plaher here btw) and the experience gets a lot better if you have another game to pair with it after finishing your energy.
For me HSR is a very comfortable game: it doesn't gate keep you and memory of chaos is not really that big of a priority for me since I know that It is basically impossible for underlevelled accounts to complete with a lot of roles in our boxes (for example another healer if you didn't get Bailu).
The gacha is not that bad, you can basically play the game without pulling after a certain point so you can save for any unit that you want (for example: I have a enough crystals for 3 ten pulls and I have pity at 80 rn)
Genshin and hsr are designesd to suck money and they both suck.
Try persona 5 to acknowledge it.
Sadly its not on phones
@@yepyepyepype-fu4yf Persona 5 sucks, play Shin Megami Tensei for a real challenge.
@@yepyepyepype-fu4yf dw, I've played persona already (from 3 to 5) already
He knows that.. Its just that the man needs to eat.. If he left Hyv games then his content will run dry.. what can diablo 4 do to this channel?
These p2w games like HSR and Genshin are designed to scam your money, people play these things with the ilusion of "muh story! but... muh story!" when you literally have to wait months or years to see one small part of the story resolved, you have crazy dumbnuts like tectone calling this the "future" of gaming or how these gacha p2w games beat AAA games when you get time gated to oblivion and it is ridiculous you only play a small part of this so called story and they content drip feed you and do any technique in the book to snatch your money.
Is the game locked to 60 fps on pc like genshin?
Mtash's kuru kuru just made my day
I like how the MC can be absolutely vicious with their dailogue. There is a random side you can do where get to option to sign as Heinsenburg for a hotel room review. XD
I think it would be interesting if there was an endless version of sim universe
It could make use of other SU world bosses, and it could scale in difficulty after you beat one cycle of bosses or something like that
@@winghong3 but it could be a start, and also the game is kinda limited in mechanics at its core
@@winghong3 Well maybe as the game progresses we get bosses with new mechanics, like the deer boss that heals itself in Xianzhou
Used to love Genshin but can now safely say I’ll never touch a live service gacha game again… happy to watch whatever gaming videos you create, even if I’m not playing it myself (:
I think this is a really fair review and I hope you know that you've earned a long term viewer. I'll be on the lookout for your takes on any future games you play! Thanks bud
This is the first gacha game where the eidolons/constellations are purely stat sticks and dont change the gameplay like genshin does. Meaning if you get a character youre not missing out on any gameplay with them. This also means when i spend money its not for resin its purely to get the character and the lightcone. Even if the lightcone is most of the time a stat stick, there are a fee lightcones that change gameplay. For example getting bailus lightcone turns her from a healer to a soloq DMG carry in the SU. Using her light cone you can heal over and over and over again with only one abundance buff that restores your action points every time you use her skill or ult. Meaning everytime you heal her light cones adds an extra dmg buff on your next attack. Meaning you can infinitly stack this buff to one shot with bailu for as much dmg as you want.
How will it change the unit? you don't even pilot it, and between permanent auto play and not being the pilot it's very hard to tell the difference.
You should see what silver wolf can do with E1
I do think you will enjoy games like Diablo 4. I know as soon as I can I am going to be playing it. I have taken my time in Honkai Star Rail, and from what I seen for people who at Trailblazer level 60 I am glad I have. If you do play any future Hoyoverse games I would recommend not rerolling and just rolling with the one account, that way you don't get too bored too fast. I would love to see what you think about Diablo 4. Honestly from the beta, the Necromancer and Sorcerer are the two strongest classes. I hope that the Druid and Barb got buffed, and a slight buff to the Rogue.
Fuckkk I use to watch this guy back when the division 2 and destiny 2 released. Time flies forreal
see you in diablo mtashed my man
Mtashed, please take a look at my account. I'm struggling at Simulated Universe at World 6 for stupid reasons. I've invested heavily into Himeko and although my damage is ok, I lose the battle of attrition.
Because you just can't wait
I will say this without showing my biases towards Honkai. (Hopefully.)
So far, I found this game quite interesting. Well, at least to me as I didn't want to speed through content. The fights were epic and reminded me a bit Shin Megami Tensei, persona, and any other turn based RPG I've played. What I am not trying to do is kill my enjoyment and make it the only game I play, so I try to balance things out and do other things.
I've played some Genshin as of now. A little behind, but I'm super interested in Fontaine. I want that hydro archon.
Gosh, i think we need a games for streamers specifically now Kappa
I think it would be dumb to put to many boss mechanics into the game at this point like it already is quite difficult to build two teams due to lack of resources,needing to build more characters just for one boss in the game would be kinda annoying at least for now but they should introy new boss mechanics later into the game
It's honestly kind of a weird feedback loop that originates from how much of a time sink it is to raise your units.
Raising a unit takes a lot of materials that requires a lot of actual time thanks to Trailblazer power
-> people need to focus their resources on a select few units
-> creating unique mechanics that promote certain units will piss off the people who didn't raise those units (especially if it's used in a limited time event)
-> so Hoyoverse creates content that is beatable by anybody
-> now all difficult content has to be beatable by any kind of niche so they make it a statstick
-> difficult content become a DPS check so players focus even more on a select few units to tackle the DPS check
-> even less resources available to experiment with other units.
Which feel especially weird when they give all these characters unique niches, but can't create the situations to use those niches because that could ruin the experience of players without those niches raised.
Took me 4 days too do all the puzzels and quests xD really does not take that long. Took me 6 weeks to do that for Genshin from 1.1-1.3
Hey man!! I don’t comment much but I think you should do a variety of gacha games or non at all. I think you may enjoy that more. I love your content when you are having fun.
Been playing several hours a day since launch, and just finished the main quest. Several character and side quest still to do. As a working adult, the amount of content isn’t bad at all especially if you want to play other games as well.
As a content creator I understand your frustration trying to main the game however. That is like trying to play Persona 5, and stretch it out till Persona 6.
Personally i have trouble clearing halls of chaos and the final boss stages of simulated universe on difficulty 3, but i haven't put resin into farming resources and have literally done no relic farming at all, so my builds are far from amazing. I keep pushing off relic farming until i max out traces for my 8 primary units, but the moment i finally finish with all that I've reached next trailblazer level and have to start the process all over again. Plus upgrades now are so expensive that it massively slows my grind, especially since I refuse to use my stellar jade for energy refreshes. I wanna build my roster and I haven't had much luck with pulling like you have. I have Bronya, Seele, and Jing Yuan (all of which I went all the way to pity for) and a single pulled 5* light cone (which despite me liking I would have preferred a new character after going to 90 pulls) Hopefully my luck improves and once I reach level 80 for characters I will finally be able to start relic farming and build my characters much more effectively.
I think the game has some definite flaws, but overall I greatly enjoy it and find it much more fun than Genshin. I'm planning on sticking around for the long run, or at least until the game starts doing the same sub par updates Genshin did for a long time
Ima be honest with you, we all play the same way as u being f2p, world 3 ain't a problem, at this point it's a knowledge issue
@@rolf1819 World 3 isn't an issue, it's difficulty 3. And mainly world 5 and 4. I've beat them each, just not consistently. I run into issues of not getting the right cards for my resonance path a lot lately and I don't play it enough to have the skill trees massively built up. I get to the bosses and then Kafka dominates my characters to oblivion lol. And relics are a major factor, the only character I have with a decent set is Seele. Everyone else is okay at best.
@@chrisgodfrey1880 Ahh okay makes sense.
I think the problem is the energy it has always been energy for hoyo games. If u had more energy and can actually farm more stuff, lv more units, more light cones. give more traces and relices. the game could be so much more. and enjoyable to play / grind on. At the current energy recharge is more like 5 mins of gameplay if ur farming traces and u logout and wait for more energy... start of the game was so fun with quest and world to explore. 40+ begins the slow grind and its kinda boring in that sense it too much of a jump I would say.
I think your exactly right. I've played both genshin and Star rail, but I like Star rail more currently. I think that's in part due to the upgrade that was made to the energy system in Star rail. I like that I can choose who I want to farm for and that I don't have to worry about what day it is. It's part of what makes it fun for me.
no it wouldnt. More energy would equate to more people wanting MORE content. Energy is a nice mechanic for people to not get burnt out and grind everything in like a weeks of play. I bet you 80% of the people begging for more energy would also be the ones begging for more content because they smash it out in like one session lol
If it takes you 10 days to finish all the story, puzzles, chests etc.
Lets just remove energy, it will take you less than a day to build a character, assuming you got every character in the same in 1.0
You have absolutely nothing to do besides farming relics. Guess what new story is out, you spend 3 days playing through it and you done for the entire 40 day patch
So now what do you want? More content.
Is there anything to keep you staying, your relic sets are as good as it can be within reason, your characters are all maxed, the new character is built, the world has been explored, quests have been completed
What you doing, logging in to keep up a gacha pulling habit?
@@twonk664 Peak shill here :D. Energy is nice mechanic for them to make more money, because some people swipe it. That's literally the only reason it exists and it has 0 positive impact on actual gameplay (because it fucking removes actual gameplay).
I don't like the shitty gamble character system is mixed with the supposedly inoffensive 'insert coins to play' aspect.
Rolling to max a characeter surely is a scam and not worth.
But spending money for shard, exchange for jade, then exchange for energy to play dungeon isn't REALLY that expensive. Its about less than a dollar per dungeon if I calculate correctly. It is not that offensive (compare to rolling for characters).
I just wish it could be slightly cheaper and separate entirely from the jade system to be more honest.
Why I'm not even surprised.
You're a real one bro
A healing boss will be coming. The abundance boss.
Since I want to only use gimmicky teams... please don't ask for more difficult gameplay lol. I want to have fun using my weird quirky teambuilding
3:15 Literally Neon Valhalla in EBF5 LoL.
To be honest i like that i can stay up to speed by just playing 10 mins a day. Especially after coming from black desert mobile where u gotta grind 24/7 to if u want to actually move up in the game.
I mean, you played for 150 hours in a single month. I understand you're a content creator and it's your job is to grind games faster than us plebs, but that is still a lot of content you went through in a short time. I've been playing the game since release and I'm still on the 2nd planet. Tons of adventure missions and companion missions. I haven't even unlocked the boxing event yet. I play several games. Not just Genshin and Honkai. And look at all the other games that have come out? Just recently it was RE4, Star Wars, and Zelda. Hell, it took me about two months to get through Elden Ring. Also 150 hours.
Also, are you done with character guides for the game? I always liked your guides.
This changes everything
At least i think i get 8 character to maximaze till 80 and i still learn
This game is perfect for me, I don’t have time and I’m happy I can just use my resin quickly and then go to do my stuff. But ig it just me
I mean, different people want different things for a game
He's a content creator so his job kinda depends on playing on stream, he cant stream 15m and call it a day, so seems annoying.
Anyway, there are better games than HSR to grind and i can't understand how he didn't already know that was gonna happen, considering it's the exact same with Genshin
@@adv78 yeah I wasn’t invalidating his opinion I just stated mine
Only wish you could bring 5 units. Ive played numerous turn base/ strategy games and i gotta say 5 units is the sweet spot for these types of games
I think 5 is way too much unless they rebalance every single character because that’s basically in the future gonna be an infinite speed buff team or perma freeze which is just way too overpowered
Or they just buff every enemy which is very annoying I also don’t wanna build anymore units man :(
Just bring your lightning lord 🗿
It would be fun if it was part of an event or something
Holy crap yes this.
tell us you haven't played turn based rpg without telling us you haven't played turn based rpg
why would you want bosses than need specific characters to clear it, what if u dont have that character ? do you have to spend money just to clear it ?
He has the majority of characters and he is very lucky :)
The only thing i am hoping for at the max level bosses that there EXTREAMLY HARD and dont fall of and u one shot in a year or so, i hope there great and never fall of and they stay hard, but they will also need balancing chars to do that, but i dont think that will happen😢
Power creep is really important for games like this though but from the looks of it they’re just gonna keep reusing the bosses but buffing them instead so it works out
Regarding the main story, we are still at the beginning, and obviously it will not be hard, not even EXTREMELY HARD, because people need to understand the game first. I cannot speak for the future of the game tho. I just hope it will not be like Genshin when they just reuse bosses with extra annoying mechanics.
@@BuiltSimilarG Why is it important? Fastest way to kill their game since turn based are dependent on stats unlike Genshin where u can skill ur way thru. In Genshin the powercreep isn't there, some of the best chrs still 4 star and all content is clearable and I hope they go that route here.
@@rolf1819 Good argument but I don’t agree. Power creep is important because it gives one incentive to get new characters. I disagree on how you view Genshin tho, I’m AR 56 and can assure you skill is not required if you have decent equipment or a single op character on a good team. Yes the content is clearable with 4 stars but I never said they shouldn’t be, I only said 5 stars should be power crept by stronger ones and it’s okay if endgame content can’t be beaten by 4 star F2P characters because you can have banner 4 stars and 5 stars (which you should have gotten at the start of the game) literally means the content is still clearable.
@@BuiltSimilarG U don't get it, Genshin u can use skill to trudge along no matter how hard it gets bc freedom of movement, now if they made abyss super hard who cares, bc majority of the player base don't engage it anyways but at least the main content which makes the game is doable. Genshin is successful even tho the powercreep there is tamed, that's proven success compared to w,e ur suggesting. Ganyu power creeped a lot of chrs, now she ain't at the top while many old chrs got amazing bc of dendro. If they decide to power creep, it may be a ganyu and hutao situation for some time and then they get humbled along with everybody else, that's the way I hope they go about it, if they power creep by accident or intentionally, they fix it later on by giving a lot of the weaker chrs shine like Genshin does.
Adding extra difficulty to the bosses, or whatever boss mechanic you suggest at 4:00, will make things even harder for FTP. The game is currently balanced in that whatever you get as a FTP, you can manage with, whatever you suggest will only make it so that it's more of a PTW game. Not to mention that the game is very freaking expensive as is.
I think you forgot about svarog as an enemy. Because he has the BEST or one of the BEST mechanics out of all the bosses the reason is that it's not just healing, shielding, or even dealing a lot of damage because once he summons an arm and you failed to kill it then you know you're toast and sometimes even if you do kill it if he summon again even if you have seele are you sure you can 1 shot the arm
I literally just ignored the arm and it didn’t do a whole lot lol it just trapped my MC
use the mc to taunt the arm to take the mc 😂 that way u can ignore the arm and go after svarog and kill him which kills the arm aswell
@@TSH425 idk how it is on MoC, but iirc in S.U. the Svarog can have multiple hands up at the same time, so you HAVE to kill the first one before he calls more.
Correct if I'm wrong, but anyway it doesn't matter much when the solution is "kill the hand" because it's still just spamming your comps strong attacks until it's dead, just in a different enemy
@@adv78 the hands disappear after killing svarog himself in SU so it makes more sense to bait him into taking ur MC and then beating the shit out of him until he dies and resets the amount of hands he has
I agree with the mechanics thing, but it's better release 2-3 months after the game released.
Lol I played Raid for a year and a half, I never loved the fact that you needed 1 specific unit to be good at 1 dungeon, it makes progression only based on luck if you pull that character or not.
