Wait until you play it on potato pc or phone and have to lowering the graphic just like Genshin 💀 and well, the engine for this game is more dated than Genshin that've been release for nearly 3 years ago, look at Honkai Impact and Genshin Impact rendering and you'll see the different, and even then, Honkai graphics will still evolve much as Genshin because they both on going game, it's just that I think Hoyo specialties are heavily lean on Mecha and Cyberpunk-ish world theme setting than DnD Fantasy theme so yea... There's also that
Starrail has better character visuals on every aspect (shader, texture, modeling, effects etc) bc its turn-based nature, no real time battle. Bronya‘s silk stocking and medal ornaments, for instance, look completely next gen compared to genshin.
I suppose the fact that this game isn't open world like Genshin, means that they can allocate resources elsewhere. Let's hope there's a PS5 release for this game.
@@Sennos Star rail is not as open as Genshin, so it has more resource to focus on characters. Technically they should do better than Genshin on characters. Hope they can make it better when it is offically released.
Honkai star rail maybe will be the best no.2 after heaven burns red with the same system If heaven burns red lead with overall best story, star rail with good graphic & system
For every negative thing or deal breaker someone has had in their comment, it's always the reverse for me, that's why I like it even more. And that's coming from a long time Hoyo fan who's been following them throughout the shits (Early HI3, the Global anniv Bunny disaster and all that, then the Genshin Inazuma Arc and overall dip in quality of story and many more I can't even begin to list) and I dunno, maybe I just like their stuff or IP or story. Persona 5 Combat + Genshin roaming (maybe not the climbing and stamina bar) + Honkai bubble universe = amazing for me. To everyone waiting, just hang on! It's so close now!

Not the best first impression esp w ppl who get joy from others annoyance, but I'll play this game regardless of the community!
@@glorial3233 yep, I didn't said ONLY gi players not like it. It's okay cause turn-based is not so dynamic and especially for mobile game not new type of game. I mean, I also decades years ago didn't like it. But exactly they sounds funny, basically expected new genshin with freedom and OW.
@@thisenable True. Well this kind of players will be everywhere but in HI3rd at least there is not so much this kind. (Guess most of them new one players) 1. True it's not action but this is just genre issue. Turn-based shouldn't be more action. Plus HI3rd already have this kind of events and most of players love it. And to be honest most of HI3rd players will play in this game for lore and characters what we love like Himeko. 2. I think this is just temporarily. Game still on beta. 3. Well as a part of HI3rd community I can tell that's not true for most of part. Yep somebody will tell you "you must play honkai before this to get a plot!" But most tell you that HI3rd can be used here only for references, some kind of similar designs and terms. It's like with MCU, somebody can tell you read a comics first, but there is nothing wrong to try start it with movies. This kind of guys is everywhere. There is no perfect community, alas.
This is cool, but ngl the English dub is a bit of a let down in the cutscenes. Battle lines are good though, and it isn't that the VAs are bad, its just the direction that feels weird.
So from i see so far each character in this game have a total 3 moves in a static turn based battle system? I've played a lot of turn based rpg hell some of my favorite games are in that genre, but this is kinda next level dumbed down isn't it? Isn't the whole point of turn based battle is to have much more options as possible?
Comparing this to other paid turn-base is pointless as it's a gacha game. So far the game combat is quite strategic with the skill managing system and also the ability to cast ultimate anytime
The FMC's design is just friggen great. It's funny in that they are practically the same design, but I just really like it on the FMC. There are a few animation differences that really stand out too. The FMC holds the bat like a sword, and when powering it up she does an unsheathing animation. Her swings with it are also more controlled and elegant. The Male MC holds it more like a bat and swings hard, there's a feeling of more power to the swings. One thing I hope they change is giving the MC more voiced lines. While it's great that there's no character that directly talks over the MC, it does seem like the MC is still unvoiced and has minimal lines outside of dialog choices. They have chosen some great VAs for their MCs, it would be a huge shame not to be able to hear them more often.

By the way in case you haven't know, they got another project called Zenless Zen Zero, not exactly what you would like, but they got faster combat style and potentially more challenging content.
@@crystallitex6311 you dont got my point brother, im not saying that they should make a game just for this, take again from software for example, they did lots of shitty games before getting into demon souls that was inovative, in fact a whole new genre of games the "souls like" and with this gold mine on their hands they improved it to the point that they are one of the best companies in the world of gaming (2 goty awards), what hoyo is doing there is instead of improving the base game of honkay or genshin they put a TON of money on a game that is visually good but brings nothing to the table its just a generic turn based game.... you may not agree with me but when this game die within 6 months you will understand me.
I do like turn-based RPGs, but this just doesn't cut it for me. Next to no customization of the characters as compared to games like Bravely Default, older FF series or Trails series, this is really bare bones except for pretty graphics. They should have at least made it tactical, like Fire Emblem or Triangle Strategy, then it can be more interesting. Seeing they are already into the final closed beta, I doubt there will be major changes, so this is an easy skip for me. For ZZZ on the other hand, looks like Mihoyo knows what they are doing. Of course, with their experience from Honkai, they are experts at fast-paced action games now. ZZZ seems a more worthy successor to Honkai Impact.
You understand this isnt a paid game right? This is equivalent to comparing genshin combat to botw. Paid game will always have better combat mechanic compared to live service cuz live service games (specifically gacha) sell their characters
I agree. The gameplay is really boring and I'm saying this as someone who is completely fine with turn-based combat. It's not a turn-based combat issue, it's hsr combat issue.
@@kimalkim7718 nah, I gotta say I play a lot of paid action games as well. Even stuff like Nier, scarlet nexus and stuff. Honkai does have something that keeps sucking you back to the gameplay. I guess it is the different modes, the satisfaction from the QTE rotation, variety in ER etc. ZZZ is looking to be a more polished version of it. And no, these aren't designed to be free. These are designed to make money for the company through gacha, which means it needs to be attractive enough to make people want to spend money.

@@Semeael no, eli is, as far as we know, a 'fortune teller'. We don't know much beyond that + the fact that he's telling his team to hunt down stellarons for some reason
The VA is so good and its synced too, already looking way more alive and active than GI with more personality. Sad that Genshin's growth is stagnated by a simpleton community and the devs seem to just wanna use its money to make more/better games while milking the cows for all their worth and never adding any new real combat or growth systems.
perfect story ,good graphics, good char designs , nice BGM, but again the problem of all Hoyo games. the actual gameplay it just sucks. is not even good as a turn based game wich is already a niche type of game. again another disapoint . well i think ill just gonna keep waiting for Wuthering Waves , kuro game does actually care about a good gameplay and make their games f2p friendly.
@@ivanap1846 I agree with his opinion. I think it's a bit fun at first that it's a turn-based game, but gradually it gets monotonous. In my opinion, due to its graphics and animations, a Fire Emblem-style game (as Archeland did) would have been better, at least that way it would have felt more dynamic and entertaining, as well as it would have forced the players to think a little more during the battles.
@@BedivereD Then this style of game is simply not for you, The combat they are using in star rail has a mix of a lot of other succesful turn based gachas like epic seven and persona. So for us turn based players is perfectly normal and really enjoy it. I personally am very excited for it and not as a novelty.
Just typical mihoyo stuff tbh. Flashy, looks interesting on surface, but lacks actual depth. combat is still mihoyo biggest flaw when it comes to games, they have hard time balancing the game between making it easy to understand and complex at the same time, so most of the time it's becomes easy and lacks depth. Genshin is pretty interesting and does have some depth for you to explore if you care, however the game itself advocates against it because it intentionally hides mechanics from you and makes content way too easy for you to care. HI3 is prime example of flashy game without depth. Majority of the endgame content is designed around specific characters, and if you don't have those characters then the game will make you struggle in the most artificial way possible. That's mihoyo "hard" Content for you. And hsr is somewhere between these two I suppose.
@@kiuhh1118 I agree. I tried Honkai Impact 3rd and it really lacking on depth. Not mentioning the UI and mechanics are terrible. I liked Genshin because of it's elemental combinations/reactions. mechanics.
@@kiuhh1118 genshin combat has a lot of depth. Only simpletons think it lacks depth cause they're unable to comprehend it cause they're barely scratched the surface

How the hell do I beat her ik using himeko bro ya the main character and Natasha and I still get destroyed it’s been over 10 try’s now
And I’m the exact same level as you
fu xuan has wanderer vibes and kafka = lisa
its good but turn-based game are dealbreaker for me
I also don’t like this kind of gameplay but I’m nevertheless suuuper hyped for the game! I hope it will be good
@@Lottiya after genshin story
i can expect more when it comes to the game story line
1:36 yelan purple string

Kafka is Makima expy
What are the stellaron hunters goals anyways?
Wait for the game to release
So far to manipulate current event to make sure the future Elliott sees will be achieved
@@18_moch.januarakbar17 who is Elliot?
@@jin8982 a Aeon
@@Semeael no, eli is, as far as we know, a 'fortune teller'. We don't know much beyond that + the fact that he's telling his team to hunt down stellarons for some reason
I wanna kiss kafka irl 😢
The VA is so good and its synced too, already looking way more alive and active than GI with more personality. Sad that Genshin's growth is stagnated by a simpleton community and the devs seem to just wanna use its money to make more/better games while milking the cows for all their worth and never adding any new real combat or growth systems.
The gameplay kinda reminds me of the Stick of Truth actually
Dude my himeko just teamed up against my mc
I swear I don't even want to fight her shes to pretty to fight 😭😭😭
at least kafka surrender with elegance, for me
now i cant use my zhongli v2.0 gepard gonna be kidnapped by kafka 😂
In the future they will make game that just like final fantasy tactics at honkai impact or genshin world.
I don't have himeko
well, PLOT TWIST
I like the aesthetic but the animation is too long for each turn
And not a fan of the voice acting of Fu Xuan entrance scene..(sorry)
Literally makima
Only.gonna play this game cuz I have a turn based kink
wtf the gameplay is so fucking fast
how to get kafka playeble??
Wait for her banner
@@captive8670 ar u sure? i will save for her banner if that true
@@vievonhagen8264 it is she will be out in 1.2. We are in 1.0 now
@@Rin-zd9nv yes, thank you
OH NO SHE'S HOT
Kafka have Beidou's eng va? maybe
She's voiced by Cheryl Texiera, based on the official page.
@@Relic58 thank you!
sen no kiseki hoyoverse version
Bro i can oneshot her wil lv 40 boothill
she was to hard to beat for me
Man this voice acting…. Is not good
Why English dub is always so bad?
Anime art style and english voice over just don't work together well
@Kira Bruh it just doesn't work well. It like making anime into live action, it just doesn't work so stop forcing it
Da hell?! Kafka can control your character's attack and harm your teammates! I'll stick with Genshin since its insta-kill.
what??? I think its a scripted scenario, so pls don't leave star rail
You can always work around it
"Average Genshin players trying to not making a fool of themselves" challenge impossible
@@abeno1950 wait till they find out about other turn base rpg gachas. Cough cough fgo cough cough
bye genshiter
Turn-based sucks imo 😭😭
Too bad it’s a futuristic theme, dealbreaker for me
This combat is such a turn off omg I hate turn based games
perfect story ,good graphics, good char designs , nice BGM, but again the problem of all Hoyo games.
the actual gameplay it just sucks. is not even good as a turn based game wich is already a niche type of game. again another disapoint .
well i think ill just gonna keep waiting for Wuthering Waves , kuro game does actually care about a good gameplay and make their games f2p friendly.
you shouldn't say something sucks just because you can't appreaciate it. Meanwhile everyone else is loving the gameplay.
@@ivanap1846 I agree with his opinion. I think it's a bit fun at first that it's a turn-based game, but gradually it gets monotonous. In my opinion, due to its graphics and animations, a Fire Emblem-style game (as Archeland did) would have been better, at least that way it would have felt more dynamic and entertaining, as well as it would have forced the players to think a little more during the battles.
@@BedivereD Then this style of game is simply not for you, The combat they are using in star rail has a mix of a lot of other succesful turn based gachas like epic seven and persona. So for us turn based players is perfectly normal and really enjoy it. I personally am very excited for it and not as a novelty.
Pffft, how much did Kuro games paid you? 5 cents per post?
@@ivanap1846 The weird defense is interesting, but this game has absolutely nothing to interest turn based players.
It looks so boring for me. I grow up playing turn based JRPG games but this doesn't give the same vibes. Too flashy for my taste.
Just typical mihoyo stuff tbh. Flashy, looks interesting on surface, but lacks actual depth. combat is still mihoyo biggest flaw when it comes to games, they have hard time balancing the game between making it easy to understand and complex at the same time, so most of the time it's becomes easy and lacks depth. Genshin is pretty interesting and does have some depth for you to explore if you care, however the game itself advocates against it because it intentionally hides mechanics from you and makes content way too easy for you to care. HI3 is prime example of flashy game without depth. Majority of the endgame content is designed around specific characters, and if you don't have those characters then the game will make you struggle in the most artificial way possible. That's mihoyo "hard" Content for you. And hsr is somewhere between these two I suppose.
@@kiuhh1118 I agree. I tried Honkai Impact 3rd and it really lacking on depth. Not mentioning the UI and mechanics are terrible. I liked Genshin because of it's elemental combinations/reactions. mechanics.
@@kiuhh1118 genshin combat has a lot of depth. Only simpletons think it lacks depth cause they're unable to comprehend it cause they're barely scratched the surface
@@joshuadavey650 , that's funny, maybe reread my comment.
no en luocha and sushang? :(
tomorrow probably 💀
@@kuroakayuri , no, this is the last quest available in cbt3. Continuation only for official release.
