Part of the reason Chinese game development is flourishing is because they don't really care about other people's copyright.

    I'm... a character customisation alone got me. Genshin will always have my heart for lore and story and characters, because just throwing out a bunch of girls in cool outfits doesn't actually make a game for me. The LOOORE is everything, and the variety of characters is important. From what I saw it's just a bunch of girls with cool weapons and focuses more on fighting. (closed beta tho so they could be keeping the story on lock to test the response to how the world explore and fighting and gathering and weapons are, idk)
    Edit: The fact this started a lore debate is hilarious. Guys, story is subjective. What I find good lore, you might not. Just chill out. I like games where not everything is spelled out to me, so I gotta deep dive in books and look at the architecture and the engravings of things and connect dots - genshin does that. BUT not everyone wants to do that so they'll naturally shrug and be like 'when's the next story quest?'. It's FINE either way. It's perspective and just what other people do to find enjoyment. You don't gotta jump on each other for it. This game isn't genshin, it might have pulled some inspo, I was just hoping it worked on its story aspect too above just pretty models and combat mechanics. But even if it did, that's chill too, there's a market for that and a market that'll play it.

    (im also in the closed beta) The main issue with tower of fantasy is the fact that MC is not the driving force of the story. They are a background accessory in a plot that feels forced due to the fact that MC doesn't have a motivation despite them briefly introducing our memory loss. There are some glaring issues with other mechanics such as the gacha system being confusing, some level scaling issues with the mobs, and the mailbox not being accessible or even shown to players
    Edit: I also wanted to add that there arent many dark skin tones past a certain hue. probably due to the prominent colourism in east Asia perhaps the devs didn't think it would appeal but Idk why they didn't just add a mixer like for the clothes
    Edit 2: The combat system is good and exploration is satisfying with some issues. But in an RPG game I value a good story. MC has to have a modicum of importance. That's just not present in this game

    I think the devs did a wonderful job of solving some of the glaring issues Genshin has with its UI and material equipment menus. I love the ease of use that players get to experience here, unlike Genshin where we have to open multiple menus to get something we need.
    The open world doesn't look as vibrant as Genshin, but I am willing to experience it. That alone tells that it was a job well done. I wonder how good is the story though, cause Genshin's story has been held back by a lack of 3rd person POV from other characters, even though Hoyo can do it. (Imo, they are too lazy to do it).
    If ToF forces itself through 1st person POV without being creative about telling any of the complex details that occur off-screen, then it's only worth exploring the map.
    That means I can download the game, explore the map and come back another time.

    Although I like the customisation (who doesn't? lol), I think Hoyoverse's decision to keep just two models is better since they can make cutscenes super clean and the Traveler always fits in the environment. ToF will definitely struggle more on those points, though it already feels less polished than Genshin imo. Either way I'm still very interested in more videos about this game so definitely do continue making them! :D

But it ain't that bad and that what separates ToF from Genshin is it's an MMO on it's core meaning its multiplayer features and endgame content should be way better than what Genshin has.
    In Genshin once you reach ar50-60+ assuming you finished all archon/main and side quests. There's nothing left to do but dailies and Abyss runs every reset until a new story or a new "seasonal" event comes. Genshin's end game is dry and just gets padded by "events".
    ToF looks promising on the "end game" aspect since it is an MMO, multiplayer stuff should be abundant with raids,co-op, pvp etc. So it shouldn't be as boring or dry as Genshin's end game

      So like what I said, Genshin falls on padding content by releasing seasonal events so that players just have something else to do.

      To be fair though TOF and Honkai games have a heavy focus on combat and story(for the most part) is secondary. Even with Honkai where the lore is very important there's a text wall that makes Genshin look like a picture book and its not in English so for non native speakers you have to read.
      In Genshin its mostly Story focused. Its already obnoxious that people who don't actually read call the story bad. I say if your just in the game for gambling you should have to click through dialogue. (I might be biased)

It's not doing very well in its native country. They're getting purged even further for ripping off another Honkai's asset and Rainbow Six Siege atm. They should just stop ripping other games' assets for good.

      If you're a MMO player, you will enjoy the game for a while. The dungeon difficulty is brutal though, it's not an easy game.
      And this is not really a CBT because it has been out in CN for 5 months. What you see it probably indicates the final version when it's coming out in Global, no more fixes. They're just testing server stability here.

      @ValomyrsLight 2 роки тому +1

      @@weiling9624 I'm gonna be honest (and in advance: THIS IS JUST MY OPINION AND HOW I FEEL. THIS IS WHAT I ALONE THINK.):
      genshin's story itself, and it's writing, is pretty... linear. And no, im not gonna go into specifics such as "X archon did Y action", or "X happened in Y nation". While the best quest that ADDS to the story (again, my opinion) has so far been Chasm, most of the time before this, all the story has been:
      "hi I took care of your problem"
      "omigosh tysmmm I am forever indebted to you"
      "haha cool, so where's my sis?"
      "idk lol"
      And sure that the nations events and problems add to it, in the end, its just "your sister is in another nation. probably."
      What kept genshin fun for me (burnt out and bored) was literally the gameplay and that alone. I did listen to the story, but god I'd be lying if I didn't say I've lost complete interest in the story, because it's 90% just "I'm gonna keep asking archons where my sibling is (do you know the definition of insanity?)" and 10% a quest involving dain + the abyss + ACTUAL exposition.
      And last, while I am saying this, I'm not saying ToF has better writing, but that genshin's is only a fair bit better.
      TLDR: genshin story is residentsleeper and I stopped caring, dain > other chars, gameplay is the only thing keeping me in and even that is falling off for me.

  • @newbie4789
    @newbie4789 2 роки тому +11

    The character customisation was the key in this.
    But ig with the level of details, cultural/media references and personality Genshin charecters are designed with, non of the customised charecter will feel as real and elegant. Tower of fantasy feels like (from this video) they just listen to what audiance is asking , what are the popular games and what are the features the players find annoying, and then just directly solved it. There is heavy motivation from both Genshin and Honkai. The combat is pretty Honkai levels with flashyness and different weapons and combos. The open world is just cyberpunkisk... But a lot like Genshin . Genshin terrains had this difficulty of traverse and they just added huge jetpacks and double jumps to make traverse way too easy. And also, No stamina for dash.
    Genshin gacha was soo much money grabbing so they added gacha but at the same time they heard people like charecter customisation so added it too. Genshin also had Resin complaints and MC not being voiced.
    They saw all the things like target marker, weapon level up and ascension, multiple set of currencies to do each things from Genshin and just stuffed it 2× or 3× more .
    The game has a lot of potential to be good but as of right now it's a huge mixture with way too much stuff and kinda feels like it lack a personality of it's own.
    Honkai had a post apocalyptic sci-fi world appearance and Genshin had a chill Isekai world with a long history and a lot of myths and legends to make it feel soo real. It's kinda like a Chekov's gun... nothing feels out of place or extra. Yes it is also stuffed with materials and all but it took time... They added a lot of features way later on Genshin. I would have preferred an approach like that in TOF too. Like, just compare the effort it took for him to get a jet pack and all vs the way Genshin incorporated the Glider.
    Tower of Fantasy feels like it has everything I wanted but now I'm not sure if I wanted all of it. How much effort I put in designing a new charecter, I will still look back at HuTao or Ayaka or Keqing's design and feel my design inferior.
    It's just like the customisable Mobile once Google tried to release... Sometimes the audiance don't know what they want

    • @bronx_xu2653

But it is in beta still, so we will see.

    i remember there was so much news about TOF literally ripping off other games, which is pretty scummy. reading the comments, most people don’t seem to either mind or they haven’t seen those articles, which i find interesting.
    edit: other things to note is that genshin was very generous in their beta, so it’s possible TOF will not remain this generous
    also, it seems a lot more similar to honkai than genshin (including the fact that one of their controversies was they ripped off something from honkai directly) with the steampunk vibe, etc. the dodge perfectly time thing, (ultimate evasion) while not unique to honkai, is one of its things as well.
    they didn’t copy over the combo or switch mechanic.
    personally, i like having multiple characters and not being pressed to stick with one, because i get bored easily of the same designs and playstyles (the second may not be applicable, but the designs are). i hate having to pay what seems to be the primogem equivalent to modify, but it makes sense that they’d use that as a bonus way to get cash

      Idk how true is that, but for a game that focuses on selling weapons in Gacha, I don't think the actual dev team would dare rip off the weapons from another game. That's why I am willing to believe that explanation I read in a random UA-cam comment section.
