It is I the then anrgy person from 0:38 - 1:37 I don't hate the game I still play it regularly but I do get frustrated with IS, SSS and other limited gamemodes. I wish to provide extra context and to share my experience. My complaints with IS is 1: RNG, I know I can't do a stage with my current set of units so I chose the other path only to get a harder version of the stage, it happened frequently to me. 2: Long Grind; I probably got 1 or maybe 2 copies of Salem, I did not want to grind through the very long level system or the nodes for extra stats, while monthly contracts do help speed things up I still did not want to spend countless hours doing that. Dealing with RNG that puts you into losing situations and seeing the same stages over and over again is annoying. Out of pure luck I think I got one of the unique endings but not the regular one. Never beat it again since I never got good artifacts. For SSS I can consistently reach stage 4 but I am forced to put random and usually useless operators on my team, many players have complained and found out an efficient way to farm is to complete stage 3 and then reset but I know my team can beat stage 4 yet the RNG causes me to fail wasting my time when I have beaten it many times before. I also do not like doing it over a dozen times. 1:32 The tip you gave does sound useful and I gave it a few tries but with somehow worse results, I don't know the ratio of units to use yet but now I struggle with stage 3 instead of 4. Further testing is needed but with a fairly new and biased experience it does not seem better compared to what I was doing before and RNG still gives me a bad hand. There was another gamemode I forgot the name of that made you use certain operators in a series of maps but you could not reused the operators on other maps. At the time I did have a small roster and my complaint about that gamemode is it forced people to spend their resources on units they normally wouldn't use which is a trend the other limited time gamemodes use and from what I can tell all of them has had many complaints which is why they are eventually removed. SSS if I'm remembering right has had some changes that made it less frustrating yet on Global instead of having the good changes we get the version that the non-global servers already struggled with and complained about. 2:29 I genuinely do not believe this. Stat inflation adds artificial difficulty which means it's just unfair and does not reward skill or decision making too much. I've done no-hit runs of Dark Souls, Soul Level 1 and I've beaten Sekiro + gauntlets with Demon Bell and Charmless, I prefer the fromsoft approach to game design and while they do have stat inflation it's used more to keep enemies relative to a player's stats by the time they reach that point in the game. I remember playing Anthem on the highest difficulty and it took me a solid 5 minutes of shooting a braindead AI to finally beat them to make matters worse it was also the weakest type of enemy so I had to repeat the process per enemy. Half Life enemy AI design was also very good as when I hid in a house the soldiers would toss in a grenade, pile around the entrances and a shotgun soldier + two sub machinegun soldiers would rush in after the explosive which forced you to take encounters seriously and play smartly, enemies did not oneshot you or take nearly 0 damage from you. Heck I remember one time in Ninja Gaiden I mismanaged my money so I had no healing items which forced me to fight 3-4 bosses in a row almost perfectly. I prefer all of these over stat inflation and look fondly at these moments. 1:27 I never said the game was hard nor do I believe that personally but due to RNG forcing you to redo the optional stages I will say I find it unfair at times which is why I also believe the game doesn't respect the player's time. I think the only two gamemodes I like is Contingency Contract and Annihilation since you don't have to redo CC too much and Annihilation can be put to auto finish for the weekly Orundum. CC isn't too grindy for me and even if it was you can chose the reward you want instead of spamming it 100 times until you unlock a skin for example.
Love this comment, man. SSS is the worst and most unfun game mode, and even as someone who played from the first month. Although this is mostly because I don't default to using gigabroken units like my fully built Chalter, and I keep using Passenger as the only dps cuz I like him a lot lol. I can still clutch all the rewards every other week if I keep to floor 5 max and borrow a Goldenglow support, so I dont absolutely hate it. Retrying floor 4-5 gives out enough rewards that I can finish it within 3 tries
i do like SSS but only because my roster is suitable for it and they are the same units i really enjoy using i did think that they couldve put more variety in making it difficult instead of just increasing stats so it would be more fitting to be like a card gamemode
Okay you and I are the same. I don't like IS and SSS. I mean, I could play it but it takes so much time, effort and RNG. Still, for me at least those game modes have no effect on my gameplay so I don't find them troublesome.
the hate for SSS is understandable, but i think IS is not RNG riddled. you can just borrow thorns e2 lvl50 s3m3 then play with a bunch of 3 star + jaye/gravel, ez win with minimal rng (at least thats how i play). may i ask the level of your acc and how many e2 you have?
I honestly do not want to believe you but my own friend who like Arknights literally not deploy medic in a medic turtorial because "no dps", say Vigna is better than Bagpipe, use Vigna as a defender, use Angelina as a dedicated sniper and think Surtr is useless.
Lmao sometimes "man i'm to dumb for this stage, better look up on kyo strat", but seeing people be like "ain't gonna play tht game cause its to hard", making us feel very special 😂
I love arknights for it's unique take on tower defense games. 1 of each operator so you can't spam them, skills instead of upgrading them during a level and enemies that actually attack your operators. It's so different from other tower defense games and the characters are so likeable.
These reviews are just entertaining to read after an awful day at work, you'll get a few moments of madge but you'll be laughing your heart out from these reviews!!!
I remember the time when for a long while my only six stars were Hoshi (amazing) and Magellan (I barely use her to this day). So I feel the guy who only got two six stars. But then my noob luck kicked in and I got W in a ten pull without even knowing she was a limited character.
I feel like they should update the beginner banner a bit, I don't think Shining and Nightingale should be in there. Also change Hoshiguma with Saria and newer players would have a nicer early game and would be more likely to stay. I mean when do you really need Shining or Nightgale, they are too specific and get outclassed by Ptilopsis and Warfarin in general content and as a simpe single target healer Shining might even get outclassed by Sussuro.
@@antialpaka1186 Nightingale have legitimate endgame usage due to heavy hitting arts damage threats and is featured in high risk if there is arts damage, but I agree that a newbie won't be using her effectively. She is a character you appreciate more as the game goes on. Shining however suffers from the exact opposite as she is too overkill to matter in the early-game and physical damage becomes a non-issue by the end-game. She is the worst start you can have because her role is easily replaceable, and the defining gimmick she have have yet to find a place in today's meta where physical damage is either too dangerous to handle even with her buff, or too minuscule that an alternate medic would bring more to your team.
I actually didnt like AK a while back. I couldnt get into the story and i really disliked the autobattle system. I tried to get into it, but i couldnt. I ended up installing and uninstalling the game multiple times, playing it for like a week or so, then quiting for months inbetween. After doing such for like 5 times in total, I finally got the hang of it. I found that i really liked the story and the strategic gameplay really spoke to me as an RTS fan. I still kind of get irked at the autobattle, but its def more of a nitpick than an actual criticism/flaw of the game. Now ive been playing for 2 months and am thoroughly enjoying the experience.
man just forgot the good old fang and vanilla combo. but auto-repenting-auto-clear stage system like on ptn or alchemy stars is a good idea tho, or sweep system like on blue archive would be nice. at least only on supply stage like lmd, red cert, exp, etc.
I think its really good if they dont just put a limit for daily like 5 or to 10, farm event stage really take time but glad they put on annilihation mode
the only things i can complain about arknights is some of the elite material like grindstone is so hard to get cuz of the drop rate of the material is so rng, not to mention you only have like 135 sanity while the stage cost 18-21 sanity
If you hate base then just Cycle once when you wanted... Base are just your daily income LMD and exp cards. Annilahition stages? Dude you have no idea back then where there's no ticket!
Love that most 1* reviews just boil down to one of these: -SSS is garbage. Tbf I completely agree but the gamemode is optional and you can get the module mats in other ways. -Missed a crucial aspect of the game and complains because they are illiterate. -Complains that they have to play the game to be able to play the game. -Completely misguided expectations carried over from elsewhere. I get that the game is not perfect and there definitely are many constructive negative reviews but most of these just scream "I have no clue what I'm talking about and have 0 qualification to review the game".
Its like I use guides in genshin to beat the puzzles so genshin is a bad game? no, you can choose not to use guides and it will be more chrllenging, simple.
Damn, it's rare to see a reasonable take among arknights players when dealing with criticism. Also, this video has shown mostly poor quality reviews because he knows that's what many arknights players want to see and hear. Surely there are more legit reviews to show, why doesn't he show more of those instead? Instead he insults reviewers (sometimes deserved, sometimes not) because he wants to feel superior. Pathetic behaviour, perhaps even on the same level as those unfair reviews shown.
Some time When I read these 1 Star review I feel like a genius, like do these people even read the tutorial or what ? I feel like these people have been falling down into the gacha hole so deep that they accept the fact that everything gacha game is Auto sweep bruh
Nope, making fun of gachas for having auto sweep really shows you aren't a genius at all. Any game worth playing should have good QoL so you can focus less on tedious farming and more on the actual gameplay. I agree that some of these reviews are silly, but a few do bring up legitimate points that everyone seems to just ignore. I've seen denial and refusal to acknowledge Arknights' faults a lot, so many players love to whiteknight for Hypergryph even though it's sometimes so obvious that things could be better. You don't test your skills by farming rocks for the billionth time, you test it by clearing new stages and eventually endgame modes. HG should just add a sweep function, though they at least added a 6x auto-deploy feature after 4 years. Yeah, it took them THIS long to implement something so simple and people still think they're so great. Arknights' gameplay, though not always perfect, is undeniably challenging but the game has its faults. I just wish the playerbase would acknowledge that more, but instead I've met many that egotistically refuse to admit the game's faults and even advocate for them.
Some of the reviews do seem like they need to get a better grasp of the game before reviewing, but some are also legit complaints. Unfortunately many players in the arknights community love feeling superior to everyone else and believe they're always right. I've talked to quite a few and the lengths they will go to to defend the game is crazy. The "if you're a critic it just means you're too dumb for arknights, Hypergryph is perfect and can do no wrong" attitude is too prevalent. One guy said that I have ADHD just because I criticized the game's lack of sweep function and bad limited operator gacha.
I think the thing about Arknights is it's either the ONE fucking game you've been looking for this whole time and it occupies you for months then years (speaking from experience) or the relative difficulty + strategy requirement + early game hell(!) shafts you and discourages most new players (i almost gave up on this game early on as well, thank god i didn't) So basically, you either absolutely love it or hate it, no in-betweens.
"the game doesn't reward you for your time" I did a week and a half of non consistent grinding at one point to get E2 Silver Ash and then proceeded to box every boss up until like patriot, and that's not rewarding?
DElmer: "Gacha rates are just straight garbage" Me randomly get Eyja and Phantom back to back single pull Also me: Yeah, pretty shit rate. Genshin has a way better system. Screw arknights go for genshin everyone
i do have some easy time when pulling gacha in this game most of time but few of them kinda painfull. i mean if i wanna snipe one operator its kinda hard. i do want rosemontis because her base skill fit with my other ops but nope, never get her. i spend like 160 roll on golden glow and get nothing then suddenly random 10 pull yesterday got her, feels like a clown. tho i never have hard time in most stage but when i wanna snipe that one operator always misserable. so yea AK gacha feels so bad for me if i compare to something like GBF, Pricon, Alchemy Star. Genshin is kinda bad at the gacha resource but their system gacha good if you dont count the weapon. tho both genshin and AK is crack on their *4 so you wont be suffering if you dont have like 7-10 *6 ops/ *5 gacha character.
@@Kindi001 so far i haven't loss in any limited banner except Dossoles banner and R6s banner cause i stop play the game as i need to focus on study. NTR banner get both Flametail and NTR, Ling banner get both Lee and Ling, Spalter banner get Spalter, Rosmontis and Irene. Now Galter banner get both Galter and pozy.
“Horrible Gacha system” My dude, Arknights Gacha system is pretty forgiving compared to basically every other Gacha except Genshin’s. And even then, Genshin’s is more like Arknights in possibilities. Edit: yes I play both Genshin and Arknights, they’re both fun in their own right.
My reason hate mihoyo: both weapon and accessory are obtainable in character banner... THAT was problem! Look at that unlimited weapon works!? I rather get 9 Kroos then get Jessica as the last pull than get 9 weapons with one good stigma or weapon when i want new character... (You call that forgiving?)
there are 2 types of 1 star review: - technical issue: candy crush is the only game they can run well without any problem - troll: either they wrote the review while being high as fk or they dont even know wtf they are talking about
People complaining about Ak difficulty when you can clear most of the content using only 3*/4* operators LMAO I really love everthing about Ak, gacha, gameplay, story, characters, events, it's so much fun
I recommended this to some alliance mates of mine in MSF, I've played arknights since America server launch and love it still, and some of them tried it. They played for ten minutes then said it was to confusing and hard and gave up. These were adults mind you.
Flaws of arknights? 1. SSS is good on paper but in practice is horrible. Cause if you don't have fully leveled account you kinda screwed. Now if it was just like the Tutorial it. That would be fun and they don't have to give me any rewards. 2. IS leans way to heavy on RNG. Think some common items need a buff or at least boost in finding them or ones I want. 3. Story is chore to read. Like I hear it's good but oh I just do not care. Maybe a text to speech reader would be cool. Kal'sit PLEASE GET TO THE POINT! 4. GIVE ME THOSE DAMN GRAY minerals, in certs store. 5. Seaborn screw seaborn. Literally drop a nuke and whatever pollution into Terras oceans. Screw Seaborn. Worse enemy type always. Overall AK is the best tower defense game out there.
SSS is pretty wack for sure though, I do agree with that. It's a tedious and annoying mode play with the same old recycle low dp Operator strat everyone uses.
YES, the game has a problem with the level design, not everyone is galaxy brain player to solve the stages, that's why guides are so popular on AK, so what we do with those people? They can't play? AK players become elitist who make fun of people who for whatever reason can't clear a hard stage? Having sanity limit how much you can play + stages needing many trys to find a way you can beat it for yourself can easily annoy people who just wants to have fun. Bu yeah go on, keep pushing that big brain elitism on the community, it will do well when others start tagging AK players as toxic fans.
one of the things arknights does that i never seen in other gotchas is the one time guarantee 5* or higher isn't limited only to the multi-draws its guaranteed to give you a 5 or 6* if you didnt get anything after "any" ten draws on a banner. also the guarantee isnt behind 100+ draws lastly while its not the best way to get the shards you can farm the shards without jumping through a ton of hoops, just get rocks and wait.
Well, about gacha rates, it's kinda true that they aren't that good. Yes, we have 2% chance for 6*, when in other games it's 1% or less, but to get to 100% chance for 6* we would need to do 99 pulls, and in genshin (if i do remember correctly) it's 80 pulls for guaranteed 6*. The bigger problem is that we don't have a 100% chance to get operator from the banner, when we pull 6* it's 50% chance to be from the banner, or be off banner. And even if we lose that 50% and getting off banner 6*, unlike genshin there's no guaranteed 6* from the banner in next time we pull 6*. So in theory it's possible to spend 1000+ pulls and still don't get the 6* operator from the banner. Yeah, the odds of that are close to none existing, but it's possible.
2% mean a 6* in 50 pulls, with 50/50 rate you need at least 100 pulls to get rated ops unless you're very unlucky. Unlike genshin, AK's summon mats is very easy to farm, you can save 60k orondum in 2 month (with 1-7 farm) . There's no guarantee in banner but you get guarantee ops in gold cert shop with 180 certs which again very easy to farm.
@@thundercat7809 correction: 50/50% chance for 6* is at 78 pulls, because it's 2% base and stays at 2% untill you pull 50 times with no 6* and only after that you will get +2% more chance for 6*. So, once again, in genshin at 80 pulls 6* is guaranteed, but in Arknights it's 54% chance, which isn't low, but still lower than 100%. Don't get me wrong, i love Arknights for it's gameplay and dropped genshin 1.5 years ago, but gacha system in genshin is better. I play waifu>meta and just want my Kalt'sit and Reed alter, and last banner with Kalt'sit was with also Mountain, Skadi and someone else, 25% chance with no guaranteed chance to get her, for f2p 180 gold certificates is A LOT and if i do remember correctly - she wasn't even in certificates shop. And let's say there will be another banner with Kalt'sit and some another random operator. What if in certificates shop will be this random and not her? My point is gacha in genshin is better - "want next 6*? Collect about 120 pulls or 160 just in case and he/she is yours, go get them tiger!" While in Arknights it's "well, theres shit tone of different type of banners, maybe we will put her on banner where there will be no other 6*, or maybe not, maybe we will put her in the banners with her only AND at the same time release another banner and in certificate shop will be operators from that other banners. You mad? Gonna cry? Not our problem".
While technically arknights does have "worse" rate for specific characters (as in doesn't have afailsafe on the 50% of the gacha). Arknights does have ways of guaranteeing characters that won't cost endless pulls. A.K.A the Gold certificate shop for 180 gold certs and the paid selector ticket (30 dollar or so?) for any non limited units. Gold certificates on average generate at a rate of 1 pull = 1 gold certificate. and also partially can be farmed totally F2P in recruitment (and sometimes even get's given out as an reward for annihilation.) The only problem that shop has is that newer units don't appear until 2024 in that shop. However this can be used to catch up to old units. here comes the paid selector ticket...which has a much bigger choice of units including some "newer" ones. Also for the few limited units they do have a hard pity of 300 pulls to get them. Hell unlike genshin, arknights doesn't really need duplicates so with 1 copy of each character you get them at 99% of their power.
Hate it. The game is too much of a banger. What do you mean "The golden age will return again" is an actual boss song? Story unreadable, that Rhodes Island sexiest man is making my stomach hurt. Not forgetting the previous event, i cant read while my eyes were blurry. 1 star for you arknights
I wish there's better* way to get Orundums tbh, like even the level up prize is borderline nothing (just sanity bonus), i guess maybe I'm still fixed with how other gacha games are.
Dailys+ Weeklys + Anihilations give about 3000 orunduns in a week, so you can do roughly 20 pulls a month just from the free orunduns. I think its fine considering events + permits + certificates are a thing and you can get even more pulls just by playing, it makes the f2p experience pretty good.
@@pedrohenrique-db3xd It's good until a limited banner comes and you don't get it in 100 pulls and now you can't get an operator that is limited and your OCD bothers you because now you can't collect all waifus...
@@pedrohenrique-db3xd Just like the person above me said, regarding that f2p income rate you talked about, to me it's only "good" if Arknights gacha actually have a guarantee system like Genshin, where it's impossible to get an off-banner more than once, and the fact that there's two featured ops in one limited banner? Yeah idk, i guess it's just me asking too much.
I don't want to hear anyone complain about Arknights gacha, I've played FGO for roughly 3 years and they didn't even have a pity system until two years ago (in the JP version at least, EN/global should get it this year). And the pity isn't even good, you need 300 pulls for a 70% chance to get the rate up servant and there is no soft pity of any kind, you either go 300 summons or you pray for thar 1% chance. Also roughly 2/3 to 2.5/3 of all their 5 star units (for the people that don't know it's the FGO equivalent to a 6 star) are limited, hell they even have event limited 3 star units, imagine 3 star Kroos being limited. Add to that that the pity doesn't carry over and resets after every banner and you have one of, if not the worst gacha system ever. But there are still people who defend it .... god I'm happy that I stopped playing that game.
Those not respect your time is not only for sss. The problem in this game is you cannot skip, and is wasting your time. If your team composition is the same and your level is the same, and no change what soever in the team stats, you should allow to skip rather waiting the shit again
First time i discover Midnight ( when i am so new like a couple minutes in) i thought oh this guy is so op, Melee art that have a good range? , Then i saw Thorns and my view of Ops usefulness change
Is it safe to say that arknights as a game right now had a lot of changes, to the point that new players didn't understand the meaning of every QoL features they see in the game and overwhelmed by those features, so they just assume the QoL features are meaningless ? I mean, i kinda understand that feeling....
i am a week1 player and i used to dislike it (i dont understand the gameplay, AT ALL :)) but after a few months, i got back, try to understand the game, started to like it alot, and play it until today :) i still watch guides, usually on the hardest stages (event bosses etc) i tried different operators from IS/support unit, which makes me know which random character i want to level up :) back then, my 6* are only ange & mostima, and i barely use them. now, after getting bunch of stronger 5*&6*, i never use ange again...
I guess some people want to jump to the end game right away and expect to win. For me, IS, SSS, and the TN were so easy. Of course, I have the most meta operators. Also, even new players can get the SSS rewards from events if they farm the currency of the events. I know learning the game takes time, but once you see a lot of guides, you will be able to do it. For me IS I got my own strategy to do it. Even the challenges they put took a time to do it, but it was possible.
Arknights isn’t perfect by any means but after so many years, im genuinely addicted lol the story is great, music is top tier, characters are unique, gameplay wise it’s fun since you make up your own strat, new game modes keep it interesting for me, etc. Honestly, my only issues is that I wish they would bring back the multiplayer event they had back when R6S collab happened. I have a friend irl who got me into arknights, so when that event came out we were constantly hanging out irl so we can form strategies in real time. It was really fun and helping other players was a blast too, other than that it’s just little nitpicks I have here and there. Another thing that I won’t forgive or forget though was when they got rid of Ai Kayano (va for Platinum) over some chinese politics. Not only did she do nothing wrong, the people over at the cn server bitched so much that yostar caved and fired Ai. Not only was she my personal favorite in the game but also as a va in general (Darkness from KonoSuba), so imo cn server should have it there way and en should have it our way. Since most of us didn’t care about her post that she had made, but regardless, I’ve invested too much time and money on the game and genuinely loved it too much to quit. TLDR: I really don’t have any issues with Arknights as I love the game, imo I feel like there should be a multiplayer option (not PvP) as they’ve done it before and I want Ai Kayano back as the va for Platinum.
A real reason to hate the game would probably be that one incident where they fired Platinum's voice actor for visiting a controversial japanese shrine (of which she had no idea about at the time, mind you) and posting about it on social media. This was all because a very vocal minority of cn "fans" wanted to farm the sweet social credit score, and the devs pretty much had to bend the knee or else face the wrath of the ccp.. It's ridiculous. Kayano Ai's pretty much blacklisted by most cn game companies nowadays. I'd say good riddance on her part, but i'm assuming those roles helped pay the bills.
Personally have my grips with the game, here are some, while the rates for acquiring 6 characters is good, the fact that pity for guaranteed rate up standard op is non existent, there is no way to 100% guarantee you will get them and if you are extremally unlucky and loose EVERY 50/50, you can spend thousands and really never see the character, while obviously a very rare situation to have, the existence of this situations kind of just throws out the whole ''fairest gacha game'' argument out of the window, cause it's not. Limited ops are a whole other thing, while I appreciate the exitance of actual pity, 300 pulls for a game like this is STEEP. Unless you save a least a 6 to a year in advance, as f2p, there is no way you will reach pity unless you sell your soul and time to this game. QOL is also non existent, when compared to other games. Yes, compared to launch, game has gotten better in that regards but also it's one of the worst gacha games in terms of QOL. The non existence of auto tickets being a massive pain, if you beat it once, why should I have to redo it all over again, on auto, it's just going to do the same exact shit I just did to clear it and, surprise surprise, it cleared the stage, I know, shocker. I don't know why after 3 years, this has still not been added to the game, this makes grinding such a pain and I'm kind of just wasting my time away grinding at stages or resource stages to get a small bit of what I want, especially since some stages can take a minute or three to clear and when you need to clear them a lot, it's just gets annoying. Those are my grips with the game, game is good, but it's not the best gacha game out there, it's okay for what it is, but there is sooooooooooo much room for improvement
The guy with "high rarity op has super high cost, can't deploy in time" tho. The what's i like in Arknights. You can't just having highest rarity team and random BS clear like some games. You still need basic tactics and brain.
Not really, most gacha game community will one way or another relate to Genshin as it is the biggest one out there. Not that it's a bad thing though, it's just a natural thing to happen
@@yubiyubiw well idk everytime i see AK related video i hear or read the word “genshin” there’s always a hate. and its always AK fans who make things like this
@@inytule_4688 AK players just really have a superiority complex. they think they’re better than all other gacha game they even devoted to hate genshin lmao
3:27 he hate 2 of his 6s op... Let me tell you! Do you think i'm happy having suzuran and W just because they were good huh? No! They hard to build, hard to used and conditional uses... Also next review i was like: yeah, this guy doesn't have myrthle yet
Seriously some of the comments are correct. SSS is random and difficulty is just enemy stats off the charts. It is manageable but then we have the anniversary event, SSS, trials for navigator at the same time. And many people don't really want to spend hours playing all of those modes which are ok by themselves but not when they are thrown at you at the same time altogether. That doesn't justify 1 star review though because these are minor issues in the end and the game is still great it's just too much going at once right now.
Haha great vid, so many of those 1 star reviews have such weird reviews. I like how there's so many more games that BEG you to replace your whole day for time in the game *cough* genshin, and I'd say as a day one player AK has one of the rarer generous gacha rates, ofc even when rng screws u over, but thats par for the course for gacha games. You don't even need majority of the cast to complete the game. SSS ofc sucks for reasons stated by many alrdy, but that's like the one icky part of the whole beautiful art, story, gameplay, lore that the game has to offer. Anyway rant over and I just rly want Reed alter :(
IMO, if the Arknight grinding is easy, soon that would be the dead game. Because the fun of Arknights is when we think hard to finish the stage, Wait so long to upgrade operator, Base etc. Then when we finally made it, it is statisfy. So, for new players go uninstall and delete account if you don't like it. Imagine you quit rage in tower defense game and give 1 star 💀. So weak.
I know one guy that hates this game to the point that even the waifus become a turn off for him The reason? The gacha RNG people have been complaining (he also doesn't like tower defense that much to begin with)
There are many valid points in those 1* reviews but one should take the game in it's whole and have played long enought before giving a feedback. Even with all the flaws the game doesn't deserve a 1*. There are cons but pros too. What disturbs me a bit is the copy trend around the game. Frosbyte should you pull has been copied, there is a wave of reactions videos of ppl who don't event play the game since some time, and now this after Eckogen made a similar video few days ago...
There's not that many angles you can look at for content for this game (content that people are actually looking for.) Yeah, Eckogen did this vid first this week, and if Spiefie was aware of that he should've said "check out his video after it inspired me to do this" but oh well. It's not like it's a big brain original idea that nobody else would've done. Frostbyte's "should you pull" videos are just new operator reviews which - it doesnt matter who started doing those first - analysis of upcoming characters is a thing for every gacha game and its totally fine if 50 people do them
Tbf some of those complains are valid, ignoring the complains about difficulty I agree in some critics like the fact that Ak rates are not that great and that the game can still use some QOL features. The rate for 6 stars is good, but the problem is that there is not a hard pity for them and in case of limited banners the spark is way to high. Also I wish we could auto the base bcs that thing has been on beta since release and while we do get some nice rewards from it, going into it and rotating the op on the facilities feels like a chore. Also, pls get rid of SSS I just dont like the mode. At least let us auto it bcs I really cant be bothered to play that thing every 2 weeks ty
The only thing i hate so far is just those event are not even playable any more remember the co op game mode,the one with garrison mechanic, the r6, chen event and limted banner also the old stage for side story , old cc remember those ?
@@dindapriska then tell me how to do you get access to old stage from opertional itellgence to preluding lights they straight up gone at this stage and most of those come with their own map
@@sashapinesnguyenhienhoa8003 mini event not even worth of reintroduction They just spice-up normal stages with basically same mob you fight in story stages (except certain map & Vigilo last stage is banger)
If he plays defenderknights, he should've understand that DP issues comes naturally with the package, though. And even then, it's still possible to block early mobs with low rarity/lowest cost defender(s) then scale to the higher ones unless there's DP regen down condition.
1 star review is just like -Skill Issue -Can't read -Horny Issue (because they thought it was just like the other game with lewd animation or illustrations, but it's not) -P2w Issue (because they thought they can beat the game using their money but it won't work if they are not using their brain ) -Jealousy (because they can't accept the fact that it's a good game even if it's just a tower defense) -spouting nonsense they can just say it's not the type of their Tea, rather than leaving a comment that does not even make sense. though it's really fun reading XD
Who tf is telling that arknights is happy fun game where the all events and mode is easily to do and get the reward? If u think so, im so sorry, dude! U pick the wrong game!!
Tbh even with the funny reviews its surprising AK for a gacha game has majority positive reviews. And the bad reviews (not respecting time, SSS, gacha rate) are issues I think fans have pointed out. Well SSS atleast. The other two I'll say are balanced but still better than your average cash grab. Lmao "hate it its strategy based". Bro youre playing a strategy game???
I have wandered to many social media and stream channels, the most reason they don't like AK is either the game is a chibi model, or the game is TD, maybe both.
Dunno about the stages needing guides so they give 1 star review. Breaking news is not every player has the same specific characters and would STILL use their brains while watching a guide since they may or may not own the characters on the said guide.
All 1* comments are people with skill issue's. And from my 2 years of experiencing this game. I would say the game is seriously very rewarding for old and new players.
Some of these are understandable if you squint hard enough, like SSS. For all it's fun, it has some flaws but the majority of them suffer from malskillness that you'd think are fake or ironic
2:59 the rates are better than a lot of gachas No 50/50 guaranteed is the only thing that ak doesn't have and if they did then they'd go broke since potentials only matter for max risk cc clears tbh 1 copy is enough
Well, fanboy will be fanboy. You can go to whatever game it is, they are same really (even tho' they think they are different and better). But hey, it's their opinion too. It's just their opinion is to dumping on other people opinion. In the end it us for cares or ignore to their bs.
The opinion can be considered valid, however the people writing these comments seems like they have barely touched the game, like for 2 seconds and after that took what they understood or experienced in that small window of playing and put it like it's the reality of the game despite everything. They can be wrong on many points and irrational while being, from a personal standpoint, totally respected in the way they are displayed and brought up when referencing a disagreement for something said by them.
It is And the way the devs not updating this until 6 months after it dropped is "entertaining" at some point (I remember that it need 6 months to catch up with CN update from Global perspective)
4:30 Honestly, when i got Myrtle i butbnever use her because I had Siege and Blacknight as main Vanguard, but in higher difficult stage i always fail, so i asking my friend who also play AK, i asked him about best vanguard and he said Myrtle, and he asked back about if i have her, i say yes but never use her, and my friend said build her, so i build her and yep finally i complete difficult stages using her till today. And sorry Myrtle.

It is I the then anrgy person from 0:38 - 1:37
I don't hate the game I still play it regularly but I do get frustrated with IS, SSS and other limited gamemodes.
I wish to provide extra context and to share my experience.
My complaints with IS is 1: RNG, I know I can't do a stage with my current set of units so I chose the other path only to get a harder version of the stage, it happened frequently to me. 2: Long Grind; I probably got 1 or maybe 2 copies of Salem, I did not want to grind through the very long level system or the nodes for extra stats, while monthly contracts do help speed things up I still did not want to spend countless hours doing that. Dealing with RNG that puts you into losing situations and seeing the same stages over and over again is annoying. Out of pure luck I think I got one of the unique endings but not the regular one. Never beat it again since I never got good artifacts.
For SSS I can consistently reach stage 4 but I am forced to put random and usually useless operators on my team, many players have complained and found out an efficient way to farm is to complete stage 3 and then reset but I know my team can beat stage 4 yet the RNG causes me to fail wasting my time when I have beaten it many times before. I also do not like doing it over a dozen times.
1:32 The tip you gave does sound useful and I gave it a few tries but with somehow worse results, I don't know the ratio of units to use yet but now I struggle with stage 3 instead of 4. Further testing is needed but with a fairly new and biased experience it does not seem better compared to what I was doing before and RNG still gives me a bad hand.
There was another gamemode I forgot the name of that made you use certain operators in a series of maps but you could not reused the operators on other maps. At the time I did have a small roster and my complaint about that gamemode is it forced people to spend their resources on units they normally wouldn't use which is a trend the other limited time gamemodes use and from what I can tell all of them has had many complaints which is why they are eventually removed. SSS if I'm remembering right has had some changes that made it less frustrating yet on Global instead of having the good changes we get the version that the non-global servers already struggled with and complained about.
2:29 I genuinely do not believe this. Stat inflation adds artificial difficulty which means it's just unfair and does not reward skill or decision making too much. I've done no-hit runs of Dark Souls, Soul Level 1 and I've beaten Sekiro + gauntlets with Demon Bell and Charmless, I prefer the fromsoft approach to game design and while they do have stat inflation it's used more to keep enemies relative to a player's stats by the time they reach that point in the game. I remember playing Anthem on the highest difficulty and it took me a solid 5 minutes of shooting a braindead AI to finally beat them to make matters worse it was also the weakest type of enemy so I had to repeat the process per enemy. Half Life enemy AI design was also very good as when I hid in a house the soldiers would toss in a grenade, pile around the entrances and a shotgun soldier + two sub machinegun soldiers would rush in after the explosive which forced you to take encounters seriously and play smartly, enemies did not oneshot you or take nearly 0 damage from you. Heck I remember one time in Ninja Gaiden I mismanaged my money so I had no healing items which forced me to fight 3-4 bosses in a row almost perfectly. I prefer all of these over stat inflation and look fondly at these moments.
1:27 I never said the game was hard nor do I believe that personally but due to RNG forcing you to redo the optional stages I will say I find it unfair at times which is why I also believe the game doesn't respect the player's time.
I think the only two gamemodes I like is Contingency Contract and Annihilation since you don't have to redo CC too much and Annihilation can be put to auto finish for the weekly Orundum. CC isn't too grindy for me and even if it was you can chose the reward you want instead of spamming it 100 times until you unlock a skin for example.
Love this comment, man. SSS is the worst and most unfun game mode, and even as someone who played from the first month. Although this is mostly because I don't default to using gigabroken units like my fully built Chalter, and I keep using Passenger as the only dps cuz I like him a lot lol.
I can still clutch all the rewards every other week if I keep to floor 5 max and borrow a Goldenglow support, so I dont absolutely hate it. Retrying floor 4-5 gives out enough rewards that I can finish it within 3 tries
i do like SSS but only because my roster is suitable for it and they are the same units i really enjoy using
i did think that they couldve put more variety in making it difficult instead of just increasing stats so it would be more fitting to be like a card gamemode
Okay you and I are the same. I don't like IS and SSS. I mean, I could play it but it takes so much time, effort and RNG.
Still, for me at least those game modes have no effect on my gameplay so I don't find them troublesome.
Such a based opinions 🗿
the hate for SSS is understandable, but i think IS is not RNG riddled. you can just borrow thorns e2 lvl50 s3m3 then play with a bunch of 3 star + jaye/gravel, ez win with minimal rng (at least thats how i play). may i ask the level of your acc and how many e2 you have?
That one guy ,that have issues with dp,must have been using Yato as his main dp regeneration
But she's a vanguard?!? 😱
somehow it looks like someone skipped the tutorial😅
Sometimes I use Yato as a meat shield (Yato, I'm so sorry) cuz her redeployment is fast.
I honestly do not want to believe you but my own friend who like Arknights literally not deploy medic in a medic turtorial because "no dps", say Vigna is better than Bagpipe, use Vigna as a defender, use Angelina as a dedicated sniper and think Surtr is useless.

I remember the time when for a long while my only six stars were Hoshi (amazing) and Magellan (I barely use her to this day). So I feel the guy who only got two six stars. But then my noob luck kicked in and I got W in a ten pull without even knowing she was a limited character.
I feel like they should update the beginner banner a bit, I don't think Shining and Nightingale should be in there. Also change Hoshiguma with Saria and newer players would have a nicer early game and would be more likely to stay. I mean when do you really need Shining or Nightgale, they are too specific and get outclassed by Ptilopsis and Warfarin in general content and as a simpe single target healer Shining might even get outclassed by Sussuro.
@@antialpaka1186 yeah beginner banner should have more good operators like blaze
I got exu and seige in my beginners banner i just smooth sailed through the starting stages😂
@@antialpaka1186 Nightingale have legitimate endgame usage due to heavy hitting arts damage threats and is featured in high risk if there is arts damage, but I agree that a newbie won't be using her effectively. She is a character you appreciate more as the game goes on.
Shining however suffers from the exact opposite as she is too overkill to matter in the early-game and physical damage becomes a non-issue by the end-game. She is the worst start you can have because her role is easily replaceable, and the defining gimmick she have have yet to find a place in today's meta where physical damage is either too dangerous to handle even with her buff, or too minuscule that an alternate medic would bring more to your team.
People complaining about only getting 2 6 stars to start with when my only 6 star for a long time was Exu.
I actually didnt like AK a while back. I couldnt get into the story and i really disliked the autobattle system. I tried to get into it, but i couldnt. I ended up installing and uninstalling the game multiple times, playing it for like a week or so, then quiting for months inbetween. After doing such for like 5 times in total, I finally got the hang of it. I found that i really liked the story and the strategic gameplay really spoke to me as an RTS fan. I still kind of get irked at the autobattle, but its def more of a nitpick than an actual criticism/flaw of the game. Now ive been playing for 2 months and am thoroughly enjoying the experience.
It isn't as good as people hype it up to bee it's ok game nothing extraordinary

That editing sketch as so unexpected, I'm still laughing at the end of the video.
man just forgot the good old fang and vanilla combo.
but auto-repenting-auto-clear stage system like on ptn or alchemy stars is a good idea tho, or sweep system like on blue archive would be nice.
at least only on supply stage like lmd, red cert, exp, etc.
Idk, I found auto deploy kinda unique and want them to keep it. But, the idea for skipping only supply is actually good
I think its really good if they dont just put a limit for daily like 5 or to 10, farm event stage really take time but glad they put on annilihation mode
blue archive auto sweep after 3* is just the perfect qol ive ever experienced
the only things i can complain about arknights is some of the elite material like grindstone is so hard to get cuz of the drop rate of the material is so rng, not to mention you only have like 135 sanity while the stage cost 18-21 sanity
I don't hate the game but my problems with the game are daily missions (for anhilation skip tickets) and cycling operators in base again and again.
If you hate base then just Cycle once when you wanted... Base are just your daily income LMD and exp cards.
Annilahition stages? Dude you have no idea back then where there's no ticket!
Love that most 1* reviews just boil down to one of these:
-SSS is garbage. Tbf I completely agree but the gamemode is optional and you can get the module mats in other ways.
-Missed a crucial aspect of the game and complains because they are illiterate.
-Complains that they have to play the game to be able to play the game.
-Completely misguided expectations carried over from elsewhere.
I get that the game is not perfect and there definitely are many constructive negative reviews but most of these just scream "I have no clue what I'm talking about and have 0 qualification to review the game".
probably the most accurate comment on here
Its like I use guides in genshin to beat the puzzles so genshin is a bad game? no, you can choose not to use guides and it will be more chrllenging, simple.
Damn, it's rare to see a reasonable take among arknights players when dealing with criticism. Also, this video has shown mostly poor quality reviews because he knows that's what many arknights players want to see and hear. Surely there are more legit reviews to show, why doesn't he show more of those instead? Instead he insults reviewers (sometimes deserved, sometimes not) because he wants to feel superior. Pathetic behaviour, perhaps even on the same level as those unfair reviews shown.
Some time
When I read these 1 Star review
I feel like a genius, like do these people even read the tutorial or what ?
I feel like these people have been falling down into the gacha hole so deep that they accept the fact that everything gacha game is Auto sweep bruh
Nope, making fun of gachas for having auto sweep really shows you aren't a genius at all. Any game worth playing should have good QoL so you can focus less on tedious farming and more on the actual gameplay. I agree that some of these reviews are silly, but a few do bring up legitimate points that everyone seems to just ignore.
I've seen denial and refusal to acknowledge Arknights' faults a lot, so many players love to whiteknight for Hypergryph even though it's sometimes so obvious that things could be better. You don't test your skills by farming rocks for the billionth time, you test it by clearing new stages and eventually endgame modes. HG should just add a sweep function, though they at least added a 6x auto-deploy feature after 4 years. Yeah, it took them THIS long to implement something so simple and people still think they're so great.
Arknights' gameplay, though not always perfect, is undeniably challenging but the game has its faults. I just wish the playerbase would acknowledge that more, but instead I've met many that egotistically refuse to admit the game's faults and even advocate for them.
It's not 'hate', most of them are just complaints.
I mean, most of them talk about technical stuff.
Some of the reviews do seem like they need to get a better grasp of the game before reviewing, but some are also legit complaints. Unfortunately many players in the arknights community love feeling superior to everyone else and believe they're always right. I've talked to quite a few and the lengths they will go to to defend the game is crazy. The "if you're a critic it just means you're too dumb for arknights, Hypergryph is perfect and can do no wrong" attitude is too prevalent. One guy said that I have ADHD just because I criticized the game's lack of sweep function and bad limited operator gacha.
@@WadeWontson You know, one year ago I would be so excited to talk about ARKNIGHTS...
Sadly, I'm no longer their demographic.
@@VitchAndVorty damn, what happened
The fact that those SSS rewards can be available in event shops from now on is funny after reading those first 3 reviews
Yes kinda funny seeing them complaining about it XD
I think the thing about Arknights is it's either the ONE fucking game you've been looking for this whole time and it occupies you for months then years (speaking from experience) or the relative difficulty + strategy requirement + early game hell(!) shafts you and discourages most new players (i almost gave up on this game early on as well, thank god i didn't)
So basically, you either absolutely love it or hate it, no in-betweens.
I'm a mix of both, what does that make me??? 🗿💀💀
"the game doesn't reward you for your time" I did a week and a half of non consistent grinding at one point to get E2 Silver Ash and then proceeded to box every boss up until like patriot, and that's not rewarding?
I always read those while updating the game on GStore whenever a huge patch like the anniversary arrives. So entertaining.
DElmer: "Gacha rates are just straight garbage"
Me randomly get Eyja and Phantom back to back single pull
Also me: Yeah, pretty shit rate. Genshin has a way better system. Screw arknights go for genshin everyone
I still have yet to get a back to back..the closest I've came is getting W 2 pulls after Skalter.
i do have some easy time when pulling gacha in this game most of time but few of them kinda painfull. i mean if i wanna snipe one operator its kinda hard. i do want rosemontis because her base skill fit with my other ops but nope, never get her. i spend like 160 roll on golden glow and get nothing then suddenly random 10 pull yesterday got her, feels like a clown. tho i never have hard time in most stage but when i wanna snipe that one operator always misserable. so yea AK gacha feels so bad for me if i compare to something like GBF, Pricon, Alchemy Star. Genshin is kinda bad at the gacha resource but their system gacha good if you dont count the weapon. tho both genshin and AK is crack on their *4 so you wont be suffering if you dont have like 7-10 *6 ops/ *5 gacha character.

Edit: yes I play both Genshin and Arknights, they’re both fun in their own right.
My reason hate mihoyo: both weapon and accessory are obtainable in character banner... THAT was problem! Look at that unlimited weapon works!?

I recommended this to some alliance mates of mine in MSF, I've played arknights since America server launch and love it still, and some of them tried it. They played for ten minutes then said it was to confusing and hard and gave up. These were adults mind you.
Flaws of arknights?
1. SSS is good on paper but in practice is horrible. Cause if you don't have fully leveled account you kinda screwed. Now if it was just like the Tutorial it. That would be fun and they don't have to give me any rewards.
2. IS leans way to heavy on RNG. Think some common items need a buff or at least boost in finding them or ones I want.
3. Story is chore to read. Like I hear it's good but oh I just do not care. Maybe a text to speech reader would be cool. Kal'sit PLEASE GET TO THE POINT!
4. GIVE ME THOSE DAMN GRAY minerals, in certs store.
5. Seaborn screw seaborn. Literally drop a nuke and whatever pollution into Terras oceans. Screw Seaborn. Worse enemy type always.
Overall AK is the best tower defense game out there.
Agree with seaborn and Kalsit.
I agree with the story bits for me it's jut difficult to read because the text is way too small
@@mochii813 you know im starting to think that i have superhuman eyes at this point
Story is good, but who have time to read all of that? EN can't even read enemy info, you think they're trying to read a novel?
SSS is pretty wack for sure though, I do agree with that. It's a tedious and annoying mode play with the same old recycle low dp Operator strat everyone uses.
YES, the game has a problem with the level design, not everyone is galaxy brain player to solve the stages, that's why guides are so popular on AK, so what we do with those people? They can't play? AK players become elitist who make fun of people who for whatever reason can't clear a hard stage?
Having sanity limit how much you can play + stages needing many trys to find a way you can beat it for yourself can easily annoy people who just wants to have fun.
Bu yeah go on, keep pushing that big brain elitism on the community, it will do well when others start tagging AK players as toxic fans.
one of the things arknights does that i never seen in other gotchas is the one time guarantee 5* or higher isn't limited only to the multi-draws its guaranteed to give you a 5 or 6* if you didnt get anything after "any" ten draws on a banner. also the guarantee isnt behind 100+ draws lastly while its not the best way to get the shards you can farm the shards without jumping through a ton of hoops, just get rocks and wait.
You know I think having Arknights referred to as difficult from a genshin perspective, is a compliment
I..... hardly found any counterargument here, because you're right

1star review+ no sweep option= true
@@Uohhhh777 bruh, if there was a sweep option, it would be boring.
@@-thepatriot-9719i disagree you can literally play manually if you want also sweep can save lot of time
Well, about gacha rates, it's kinda true that they aren't that good.
Yes, we have 2% chance for 6*, when in other games it's 1% or less, but to get to 100% chance for 6* we would need to do 99 pulls, and in genshin (if i do remember correctly) it's 80 pulls for guaranteed 6*.
The bigger problem is that we don't have a 100% chance to get operator from the banner, when we pull 6* it's 50% chance to be from the banner, or be off banner. And even if we lose that 50% and getting off banner 6*, unlike genshin there's no guaranteed 6* from the banner in next time we pull 6*. So in theory it's possible to spend 1000+ pulls and still don't get the 6* operator from the banner. Yeah, the odds of that are close to none existing, but it's possible.
It's only 99 pulls for a 6* in a purely technical vacuum. You will probably get that 6* in 80 pulls or even less unless your luck is just that bad
2% mean a 6* in 50 pulls, with 50/50 rate you need at least 100 pulls to get rated ops unless you're very unlucky. Unlike genshin, AK's summon mats is very easy to farm, you can save 60k orondum in 2 month (with 1-7 farm) . There's no guarantee in banner but you get guarantee ops in gold cert shop with 180 certs which again very easy to farm.
@@thundercat7809 correction: 50/50% chance for 6* is at 78 pulls, because it's 2% base and stays at 2% untill you pull 50 times with no 6* and only after that you will get +2% more chance for 6*.
So, once again, in genshin at 80 pulls 6* is guaranteed, but in Arknights it's 54% chance, which isn't low, but still lower than 100%.
Don't get me wrong, i love Arknights for it's gameplay and dropped genshin 1.5 years ago, but gacha system in genshin is better.
I play waifu>meta and just want my Kalt'sit and Reed alter, and last banner with Kalt'sit was with also Mountain, Skadi and someone else, 25% chance with no guaranteed chance to get her, for f2p 180 gold certificates is A LOT and if i do remember correctly - she wasn't even in certificates shop.
And let's say there will be another banner with Kalt'sit and some another random operator. What if in certificates shop will be this random and not her? My point is gacha in genshin is better - "want next 6*? Collect about 120 pulls or 160 just in case and he/she is yours, go get them tiger!" While in Arknights it's "well, theres shit tone of different type of banners, maybe we will put her on banner where there will be no other 6*, or maybe not, maybe we will put her in the banners with her only AND at the same time release another banner and in certificate shop will be operators from that other banners. You mad? Gonna cry? Not our problem".
While technically arknights does have "worse" rate for specific characters (as in doesn't have afailsafe on the 50% of the gacha). Arknights does have ways of guaranteeing characters that won't cost endless pulls. A.K.A the Gold certificate shop for 180 gold certs and the paid selector ticket (30 dollar or so?) for any non limited units.
Gold certificates on average generate at a rate of 1 pull = 1 gold certificate. and also partially can be farmed totally F2P in recruitment (and sometimes even get's given out as an reward for annihilation.)
The only problem that shop has is that newer units don't appear until 2024 in that shop. However this can be used to catch up to old units.
here comes the paid selector ticket...which has a much bigger choice of units including some "newer" ones.
Also for the few limited units they do have a hard pity of 300 pulls to get them.
Hell unlike genshin, arknights doesn't really need duplicates so with 1 copy of each character you get them at 99% of their power.
No, the rates are better, the pity is not.
Hate it. The game is too much of a banger. What do you mean "The golden age will return again" is an actual boss song?
Story unreadable, that Rhodes Island sexiest man is making my stomach hurt. Not forgetting the previous event, i cant read while my eyes were blurry. 1 star for you arknights
I wish there's better* way to get Orundums tbh, like even the level up prize is borderline nothing (just sanity bonus), i guess maybe I'm still fixed with how other gacha games are.
Dailys+ Weeklys + Anihilations give about 3000 orunduns in a week, so you can do roughly 20 pulls a month just from the free orunduns. I think its fine considering events + permits + certificates are a thing and you can get even more pulls just by playing, it makes the f2p experience pretty good.
@@pedrohenrique-db3xd It's good until a limited banner comes and you don't get it in 100 pulls and now you can't get an operator that is limited and your OCD bothers you because now you can't collect all waifus...
@@pedrohenrique-db3xd Just like the person above me said, regarding that f2p income rate you talked about, to me it's only "good" if Arknights gacha actually have a guarantee system like Genshin, where it's impossible to get an off-banner more than once, and the fact that there's two featured ops in one limited banner? Yeah idk, i guess it's just me asking too much.
Let's be real, who likes SSS?
schizos
I probably would if the enemies' stats don't get that inflated so quickly.
I don't want to hear anyone complain about Arknights gacha, I've played FGO for roughly 3 years and they didn't even have a pity system until two years ago (in the JP version at least, EN/global should get it this year). And the pity isn't even good, you need 300 pulls for a 70% chance to get the rate up servant and there is no soft pity of any kind, you either go 300 summons or you pray for thar 1% chance.
Also roughly 2/3 to 2.5/3 of all their 5 star units (for the people that don't know it's the FGO equivalent to a 6 star) are limited, hell they even have event limited 3 star units, imagine 3 star Kroos being limited.
Add to that that the pity doesn't carry over and resets after every banner and you have one of, if not the worst gacha system ever. But there are still people who defend it .... god I'm happy that I stopped playing that game.
the first one can be easily fixed by switching into your data or use vpn. i have no idea why this is happening
5:23 you pointed at yato while saying this is the one that prints dp? WHAT HAVE YOUU BEEN SMOKIN?! XD XD XD XD
2:05 best lines of the entire video
(not that I've fully watch this video when making this comment)
Those not respect your time is not only for sss. The problem in this game is you cannot skip, and is wasting your time. If your team composition is the same and your level is the same, and no change what soever in the team stats, you should allow to skip rather waiting the shit again
That way ppl can just dump their cash to catch up. At some stages, I do agree.
The first time I played Arknights, I have never complained about the game a bit, except for my god awful luck..
peeps just has skill issue.
First time i discover Midnight ( when i am so new like a couple minutes in) i thought oh this guy is so op, Melee art that have a good range? , Then i saw Thorns and my view of Ops usefulness change
Is it safe to say that arknights as a game right now had a lot of changes, to the point that new players didn't understand the meaning of every QoL features they see in the game and overwhelmed by those features, so they just assume the QoL features are meaningless ?
I mean, i kinda understand that feeling....
i am a week1 player and i used to dislike it (i dont understand the gameplay, AT ALL :)) but after a few months, i got back, try to understand the game, started to like it alot, and play it until today :) i still watch guides, usually on the hardest stages (event bosses etc) i tried different operators from IS/support unit, which makes me know which random character i want to level up :) back then, my 6* are only ange & mostima, and i barely use them. now, after getting bunch of stronger 5*&6*, i never use ange again...
these reviews hurt my brain more than any cc operation will
I guess some people want to jump to the end game right away and expect to win. For me, IS, SSS, and the TN were so easy. Of course, I have the most meta operators. Also, even new players can get the SSS rewards from events if they farm the currency of the events. I know learning the game takes time, but once you see a lot of guides, you will be able to do it. For me IS I got my own strategy to do it. Even the challenges they put took a time to do it, but it was possible.
Arknights isn’t perfect by any means but after so many years, im genuinely addicted lol the story is great, music is top tier, characters are unique, gameplay wise it’s fun since you make up your own strat, new game modes keep it interesting for me, etc. Honestly, my only issues is that I wish they would bring back the multiplayer event they had back when R6S collab happened. I have a friend irl who got me into arknights, so when that event came out we were constantly hanging out irl so we can form strategies in real time. It was really fun and helping other players was a blast too, other than that it’s just little nitpicks I have here and there. Another thing that I won’t forgive or forget though was when they got rid of Ai Kayano (va for Platinum) over some chinese politics. Not only did she do nothing wrong, the people over at the cn server bitched so much that yostar caved and fired Ai. Not only was she my personal favorite in the game but also as a va in general (Darkness from KonoSuba), so imo cn server should have it there way and en should have it our way. Since most of us didn’t care about her post that she had made, but regardless, I’ve invested too much time and money on the game and genuinely loved it too much to quit.
TLDR: I really don’t have any issues with Arknights as I love the game, imo I feel like there should be a multiplayer option (not PvP) as they’ve done it before and I want Ai Kayano back as the va for Platinum.
A real reason to hate the game would probably be that one incident where they fired Platinum's voice actor for visiting a controversial japanese shrine (of which she had no idea about at the time, mind you) and posting about it on social media. This was all because a very vocal minority of cn "fans" wanted to farm the sweet social credit score, and the devs pretty much had to bend the knee or else face the wrath of the ccp.. It's ridiculous. Kayano Ai's pretty much blacklisted by most cn game companies nowadays. I'd say good riddance on her part, but i'm assuming those roles helped pay the bills.
Can't really do much against insecure and fragile nationalist especially if CCP caught wind of it. HyperGryph didn't have much of a choice.
Remember OG Kaga voice
Personally have my grips with the game, here are some, while the rates for acquiring 6 characters is good, the fact that pity for guaranteed rate up standard op is non existent, there is no way to 100% guarantee you will get them and if you are extremally unlucky and loose EVERY 50/50, you can spend thousands and really never see the character, while obviously a very rare situation to have, the existence of this situations kind of just throws out the whole ''fairest gacha game'' argument out of the window, cause it's not. Limited ops are a whole other thing, while I appreciate the exitance of actual pity, 300 pulls for a game like this is STEEP. Unless you save a least a 6 to a year in advance, as f2p, there is no way you will reach pity unless you sell your soul and time to this game. QOL is also non existent, when compared to other games. Yes, compared to launch, game has gotten better in that regards but also it's one of the worst gacha games in terms of QOL. The non existence of auto tickets being a massive pain, if you beat it once, why should I have to redo it all over again, on auto, it's just going to do the same exact shit I just did to clear it and, surprise surprise, it cleared the stage, I know, shocker. I don't know why after 3 years, this has still not been added to the game, this makes grinding such a pain and I'm kind of just wasting my time away grinding at stages or resource stages to get a small bit of what I want, especially since some stages can take a minute or three to clear and when you need to clear them a lot, it's just gets annoying. Those are my grips with the game, game is good, but it's not the best gacha game out there, it's okay for what it is, but there is sooooooooooo much room for improvement
Arknights have a really steep learning curve so I don't really blame any of them if they didn't like on the get go
The guy with "high rarity op has super high cost, can't deploy in time" tho. The what's i like in Arknights. You can't just having highest rarity team and random BS clear like some games. You still need basic tactics and brain.
dang you flipped the image to point at vanguard logo lol
"if you can't beat it, you probably doesn't need those material yet" haha yeah... (cries in skill issue)
We really need auto repeat for Auto Deploy
one thing i want to complain is sanity its also draining my real sanity for loving this game too much and wipe my sanity clean is unforgivable.
AK players really hate genshin huh 🤔
Not really, most gacha game community will one way or another relate to Genshin as it is the biggest one out there. Not that it's a bad thing though, it's just a natural thing to happen
@@yubiyubiw well idk everytime i see AK related video i hear or read the word “genshin” there’s always a hate. and its always AK fans who make things like this
@@yejiyej3369 Eh yes it happens for the same reason @yubiyubi3946 said. For what I can see it's certainly not the majority though.
@@inytule_4688 AK players just really have a superiority complex. they think they’re better than all other gacha game they even devoted to hate genshin lmao
@@lospollos16 can you refer yourself as skill issue rather than making thing more superior just becoz u lack of something call skill
3:27 he hate 2 of his 6s op...
Let me tell you! Do you think i'm happy having suzuran and W just because they were good huh? No! They hard to build, hard to used and conditional uses...
Also next review i was like: yeah, this guy doesn't have myrthle yet
No,they just use Yato as they main dp regeneration
the man even use yato to say that vanguard generate dp lol
Subbed
DElmer review sound like Arknights is the 1st gacha game dude ever played. he/she hasnt tried fgo yet for trash gacha rates
Seriously some of the comments are correct. SSS is random and difficulty is just enemy stats off the charts. It is manageable but then we have the anniversary event, SSS, trials for navigator at the same time. And many people don't really want to spend hours playing all of those modes which are ok by themselves but not when they are thrown at you at the same time altogether.
That doesn't justify 1 star review though because these are minor issues in the end and the game is still great it's just too much going at once right now.
Well with me and arknights i remember the obnoxious ad’s which turned me off from playing the game, my friend made me play it and now love it.
The main reason is because you actually have to use your brain in arknights and some players like easy games....but thats what i love about arknights
They prob just have bad day
Haha great vid, so many of those 1 star reviews have such weird reviews. I like how there's so many more games that BEG you to replace your whole day for time in the game *cough* genshin, and I'd say as a day one player AK has one of the rarer generous gacha rates, ofc even when rng screws u over, but thats par for the course for gacha games. You don't even need majority of the cast to complete the game. SSS ofc sucks for reasons stated by many alrdy, but that's like the one icky part of the whole beautiful art, story, gameplay, lore that the game has to offer. Anyway rant over and I just rly want Reed alter :(
IMO, if the Arknight grinding is easy, soon that would be the dead game. Because the fun of Arknights is when we think hard to finish the stage, Wait so long to upgrade operator, Base etc. Then when we finally made it, it is statisfy. So, for new players go uninstall and delete account if you don't like it. Imagine you quit rage in tower defense game and give 1 star 💀. So weak.
A mfr was mad because he didnt know how to remove an operator ☠️☠️☠️
Nah... i still hate SSS even though i have 236 ops, and level 120, IS gamemode ftw
The dp cost review is awful and deserves to be enshrined as one of the most idiotic pieces of writing I've seen in ages.
You also get a FREE TEXAS if you do missions! A FREE VANGUARD FIVE STAR WHO ISN'T TOO BAD
I know one guy that hates this game to the point that even the waifus become a turn off for him
The reason? The gacha RNG people have been complaining (he also doesn't like tower defense that much to begin with)
I need part 2 ASAP!!!! on that note, I find it funny that you bought flametail's skin and she is e0 lvl 1
There are many valid points in those 1* reviews but one should take the game in it's whole and have played long enought before giving a feedback. Even with all the flaws the game doesn't deserve a 1*. There are cons but pros too.
What disturbs me a bit is the copy trend around the game. Frosbyte should you pull has been copied, there is a wave of reactions videos of ppl who don't event play the game since some time, and now this after Eckogen made a similar video few days ago...
There's not that many angles you can look at for content for this game (content that people are actually looking for.) Yeah, Eckogen did this vid first this week, and if Spiefie was aware of that he should've said "check out his video after it inspired me to do this" but oh well. It's not like it's a big brain original idea that nobody else would've done.
Frostbyte's "should you pull" videos are just new operator reviews which - it doesnt matter who started doing those first - analysis of upcoming characters is a thing for every gacha game and its totally fine if 50 people do them
Tbf some of those complains are valid, ignoring the complains about difficulty I agree in some critics like the fact that Ak rates are not that great and that the game can still use some QOL features.
The rate for 6 stars is good, but the problem is that there is not a hard pity for them and in case of limited banners the spark is way to high.
Also I wish we could auto the base bcs that thing has been on beta since release and while we do get some nice rewards from it, going into it and rotating the op on the facilities feels like a chore.
Also, pls get rid of SSS I just dont like the mode. At least let us auto it bcs I really cant be bothered to play that thing every 2 weeks ty
The only thing i hate so far is just those event are not even playable any more remember the co op game mode,the one with garrison mechanic, the r6, chen event and limted banner also the old stage for side story , old cc remember those ?
What do you mean "old stages for side story" aren't playable?
@@dindapriska then tell me how to do you get access to old stage from opertional itellgence to preluding lights they straight up gone at this stage and most of those come with their own map
@@sashapinesnguyenhienhoa8003 Chill, dude. I'm just asking since "side story" is also used for the bigger events, not just the mini one week events.
@@sashapinesnguyenhienhoa8003 mini event not even worth of reintroduction
They just spice-up normal stages with basically same mob you fight in story stages (except certain map & Vigilo last stage is banger)
The guys with dp issue might be a defenderknights, be kind to him, we have to deal with 30+ dp units quite often
If he plays defenderknights, he should've understand that DP issues comes naturally with the package, though. And even then, it's still possible to block early mobs with low rarity/lowest cost defender(s) then scale to the higher ones unless there's DP regen down condition.
Cause I am a monke with only 1 braincell that bounce around my brain like a DvD logo.
1 star review is just like
-Skill Issue
-Can't read
-Horny Issue (because they thought it was just like the other game with lewd animation or illustrations, but it's not)
-P2w Issue (because they thought they can beat the game using their money but it won't work if they are not using their brain )
-Jealousy (because they can't accept the fact that it's a good game even if it's just a tower defense)
-spouting nonsense they can just say it's not the type of their Tea, rather than leaving a comment that does not even make sense.
though it's really fun reading XD
nice video, i was having a lose streak in league watching this video was fun, keep up the great work
The SSS material is the material for the endgame modul,If you can't it means you don't have to
Don't trouble yourself
Who tf is telling that arknights is happy fun game where the all events and mode is easily to do and get the reward?
If u think so, im so sorry, dude! U pick the wrong game!!
Tbh even with the funny reviews its surprising AK for a gacha game has majority positive reviews. And the bad reviews (not respecting time, SSS, gacha rate) are issues I think fans have pointed out. Well SSS atleast. The other two I'll say are balanced but still better than your average cash grab.
Lmao "hate it its strategy based". Bro youre playing a strategy game???
He is serious when he pulls out the legendary word, "Garbonzo"
I have wandered to many social media and stream channels, the most reason they don't like AK is either the game is a chibi model, or the game is TD, maybe both.
All these people wouldve had a much better time if they had just read, not only read but have a comprehension of what theyre reading.
1:35 what! You can do that with supporters?
Dunno about the stages needing guides so they give 1 star review. Breaking news is not every player has the same specific characters and would STILL use their brains while watching a guide since they may or may not own the characters on the said guide.
I feel the CP issue. It ducks me up too 😣
All 1* comments are people with skill issue's.
And from my 2 years of experiencing this game.
I would say the game is seriously very rewarding for old and new players.
can yato generate me points
ps: perfect spief voice asmr to jac- off to kappa
I mean, Arknights is not a perfect game where everyone loves it. Like every game, it has flaws. Luckily i still enjoy playing it
Man, someone complaining about DP issue, I bet they start playing as a newbie, and mistakenly clicking CC with -75% DP regen as the main story map 👀
I think they use Yato as their main dp regeneration
when first release i tought we can attack with medic lol.
@@saharudin3159 well after Incantation Medic subclasses now medic can attack the enemy lmao
Some of these are understandable if you squint hard enough, like SSS. For all it's fun, it has some flaws
but the majority of them suffer from malskillness that you'd think are fake or ironic
Man, your video is good. I like it
simple answer: you can't please everyone
2:59 the rates are better than a lot of gachas
No 50/50 guaranteed is the only thing that ak doesn't have and if they did then they'd go broke since potentials only matter for max risk cc clears tbh
1 copy is enough
nothing like dumping on other opinions huh?
Well, fanboy will be fanboy. You can go to whatever game it is, they are same really (even tho' they think they are different and better). But hey, it's their opinion too. It's just their opinion is to dumping on other people opinion. In the end it us for cares or ignore to their bs.
the "opinions" on the video deserve to totally be dumped on to be fair.
It's one of my favourite games but fr, Arknights fanboys go so hard on defending their game.
The opinion can be considered valid, however the people writing these comments seems like they have barely touched the game, like for 2 seconds and after that took what they understood or experienced in that small window of playing and put it like it's the reality of the game despite everything. They can be wrong on many points and irrational while being, from a personal standpoint, totally respected in the way they are displayed and brought up when referencing a disagreement for something said by them.
SSS is so hard, but the challenge that it brings is fun in its own way for me
It is
And the way the devs not updating this until 6 months after it dropped is "entertaining" at some point (I remember that it need 6 months to catch up with CN update from Global perspective)
4:30
Honestly, when i got Myrtle i butbnever use her because I had Siege and Blacknight as main Vanguard, but in higher difficult stage i always fail, so i asking my friend who also play AK, i asked him about best vanguard and he said Myrtle, and he asked back about if i have her, i say yes but never use her, and my friend said build her, so i build her and yep finally i complete difficult stages using her till today. And sorry Myrtle.
