Actually really fun game tbh, I recommend you try the game just be aware of the issues
performance issues and bugs only on phone? cuz my 8 year old pc runs it smother than Genshin and Star Rail with bare minimum requirements gtx 1060 and i5 7500 middle options,, 30-45 Fps. I run Genshin and Star Rail also on middle options and there i get alot of shutters and Fps drops from 45 to 15-25, Genshin since sumeru and Star rail since launch, lets see if Kuro can fix these Problems faster than Genshin getting 2FA( it took them 6 or 7 months)
@@PurbleSuni have a similar setup with a better CPU and i run it low at 60 fps with a little lag when i enter a new area . Overall 60 fps makes it really smooth
@@PurbleSun really!? on mine the faces aren't even loading on the npcs (Nvidia GPU 3070). proper glitchy mess.
@@gwenpoolmedia ????? I have the same gpu and it has been perfect
@@therealyojames i can literally send u screenshots of the abysmal graphics im seeing. have reinstalled twice now, no difference.
yangyang randomly breathing heavily into my ear during exploration is so scary man
LOL
About the bad, I fully agree. They talk so much and throw so many new words / terms at you that you have to remember.
Like, just let me pull and explore. They really need to trim the introduction so it becomes less lore heavy and it's easier to play the game. I was honestly put so much off that I was starting to get annoyed.
Yes in just 1 conversation im given 4 terms that have no meaning to me but I can't ask questions about any of it.
In Genshin I know we meme Paimon but she explains things to you and break it down for you and in HSR you can ask the express crew to explain things but in WW so far 10 hours in with barely any explanation of what anything means.
The MC has amnesia, its the perfect excuse to have the characters explain things to me because the MC doesn't remember it just like the trailblazer but unlike HSR they dont let you ask what the new terms mean.
Like in HSR the second March mentions something like the Antimater legion you can ask and she will give you a basic explanation so you can understand the gist a bit better which WW dont try and do.
Honestly compared to genshin this is much better, genshin has a LOT of yapping but I wish WuWa didn’t do the same.. although plus one point for having a skip button
@@FallenPhoenix-ml5mn What's this comparation? I just couldn't stand Genshin roundabout conversation. HSR is far more better than Genshin in term of wording and storytelling. Besides, atleast WW has skip button.
@@cyramiko6601 This game has just as much dialogue, but unlike genshin and HSR they dont explain anything and just throw new terms at you with no context, the skip button is nice but if your skipping story you have no right to talk about the quality of the dialogue becauze you did not experience it.
I've come to expect as much. The only gacha with decent lore is Fate Go, or at least like 60% of the time. And Star Rail's is palpatable I guess...
The story is a real disappointment so far. Combat is cool, and exploration is decent, but there are a lot of clunky moments in this game, feels very unpolished tbh.
Thats why I skip dialogue
complaining to complain lol
When genshin came it was also called as a bad story but eventually it got better
yeah, the word is a little empty too
@@Roronoa_Zoro718 genshin is bad by itself
Nooo I LOVED lingyangs story. The cave switching from 2D and 3D was so well done and beautiful. I am a honkai star rail player though and so I’m used to the “yapping” and that’s one of my fav parts tbh. 😭
I don’t mind lots of dialogue as long as it’s meaningful but the yapping is bad, really dragging conversations on just for the sake of having more words.
They go on and on about pointless shit, everything is so confusing and there’s so much terminology thrown at you within the first 15 mins alone my head was spinning.
yea, the game suddenly turned into Ori
@@Z0Z33KY The terminology is worst thing for me, i dont understand any of the references to Chinese culture that i presume it is.
I'm with you lol. What's the confusion with the terminologies?? The translation is RIGHT THERE?????
@@Z0Z33KYsame, with hsr, they give you the context even without asking for it (Mr. Yang and your crew for instance) and I'm just like there waiting for the context when Yangyang threw a bunch of new terms and what am I supposed to do? Study the terms lol. It's like biology and I just finished it this academic year😭
Edit: I sticked to the game 'cause I got Calcharo as my 1st 5 star character and he's my dream to pull and planning to reroll if I didn't pull him and Verina
Why are the intro and outro so uplifting and happy? Jena got me feeling less stressed about my exam tomorrow.
As an IPad player, my only issues are crashing. I can’t even go 15 minutes without it crashing or just being very glitchy. The thing is, I know it’s not my iPad as I (used) to play Genshin impact perfectly fine on it when I played it. Same with other games. It’s just Wuthering waves, and I do have to say it kind of ruins the experience for me 😭. But I was thinking it may become because of the amount of players that would be playing considering it just came out. Plus, I did play at 6am in the morning and it was fine, until 3pm (which for my country is usually when people come back from school) it was glitchy, still is. So that may be the issue why. As for the story, I actually enjoyed it, mainly the part where scar came in, that’s where it got more interesting for me. But an issue I do have along with the glitches is the fact that the dialogue just isn’t there sometimes when characters continue talking?? They will talk with the dialogue at the bottom, but then at the last couple of words it stops. I don’t get why, but it’s kind of annoying, I do hope they fix that too. I agree with most of your points expect the story, but we all have opinions:) (I haven’t bothered to read through this so there may be mistakes)
This comment was a lot longer than I was expecting 🚶♀️
Have the same issue, the ping is bad, have to use VPN. I think it might be an iPad issue, the dialogue thing. But I don’t know if Kuro actually knows about it or not. Anyways the side quests are too numbing to care haha. I only enjoy dialogues in Honkai I guess.
The story was horrible. It feels like they didn't bother hiring actual writers and just devs explaining information about the game and its world.
This is the problem with Kurogames titles. It takes 10-15 hours for the story to get anywhere.
But if you think things are slow and exposition-dumpy wait till you get to UL 21+ and then it suddenly go from 0-100 with things happening everywhere. Which is both a good and a bad thing - makes me wonder whether separate teams are doing the story cos man this came out of nowhere after the first few hours of snoozefest.
Agree with the "bad" part so much. Finished the first chapter and I can't go on anymore, but since you said the later chapter will be better, then I will try to continue playing the main story.
It seems the dev didn't consider global market that much since they don't bother explaining the chinese term and mumbo-jumbo term, I am curious if the Chinese player has the same problem with the mumbo-jumbo term being thrown at them relentlessly at the start.
I will give leniency to the "ugly" part since it is the first time they released a big game like this.
keep going, the it got interesting when the antagonist was introduced...
I understand everything perfectly. What exactly do you not get? The terms are definitely based on chinese myths but the game explains them well. Fyi, try to continue until you reach the final mission where you fight Dreamless.
im happy youre branching out! good luck Jen!
7:03 I think this is attention, comprehension, and preference issue. I understood everything exactly because the game explains it well either directly through NPCs or indirectly through context clues and overworld lore. Even the pangu terminal was explained. The reverberation of echoes. The waveworn phenomenas like tacet fields and retroact rain. The sentinels of huanglong. The number of cities. Even the couriers and departments in Mortefi's lab.
I honestly find it surprising when people say they yap things that doesn't make sense. Or make you do things that doesn't matter. But to me, they do make sense and quite easy to understand. Like bro, english is my third language yet I have no issue understanding the story and the world.
I think what people hate is the expository writing. I think people want animation or cutscenes and not just dialogue. People most likely don't like listening eithout moving their characters. As thry say, Show not tell. But to me, they actually did implement such on certain cases. What I meant is they showed us what and how terminals work during the very first scene. Key word on "some cases."
I honestly think people just have very short attention span. But calling the writing bad because us players didn't pay attention is very disingenuous. For instance, the yapfest that is aranara, while becoming a meme, has intention. Same here, the yapfest with Jinhsi has intention and everything said sets up the pace and builds the world.
Now, saying that it's the game's job to capture your attention is valid. People would even say that they want instant gratification like the very first chapter in Nikke. That's fair, but that doesnt necessarily make the writing great. It's just that you feel it's great because the climax was given fast.
I've read novels similar to how WW presents it's story, that is, slow and meandering then it ramps up. I've also ready writing with instant gratification like HSR and Nikke, that is, paced faster and satisfying players early on.
It's really just a matter of writing preference. I like both but based on what I've read and played, I find to like slow and steady writing more memorable. Rinds me of Neil Gaiman's American Gods. It's slow and meandering but ramps up. Take Warframe for example. I won't spoil it, but when I invested some time, "that" moment became one of my most memorable gaming moments.
Maybe it's because I'm used to reading novels and playing games with great visual novels both that are fast paced and those slow and meandering like PGR or HI3.
I have some issues though like the rushed fetch quests on the camp with jianxin making as feel like as if we did more than just talk to the patients. There are some issues on dialogue options as well for the NPCs. The voice direction and some animation.
Other than that, I'm invested to the lore and the story. Just the same way we fished Paimon out of the water. But please, I feel like Kuro might oisten to most people and bring a Yapping paimon. Please no.
As someone that does enjoy VNs as well, I would be able to understand things if they had a chat log because as someone who isn't native english speakers I need to reread/relisten to things a couple of times before understanding it
Yeah, people are way to impatient. They can't even bother to learn some terms. This is a fantasy sci-fi story after all.
I played about 90 minutes of WW and had maybe 10-15 minutes of meaningful gameplay. I heard 20+ Chinese proper nouns and got tossed into an open world where I was expected to follow the icon to the next setpiece.
I might try it again in the future because the combat was fun, but right now it just feels like a massive time waste.
It IS a time waste, that’s why I also quit it. I’d much rather enjoy my life irl than care for npcs in a game that doesn’t matter
@@danielsirbu6706Was it just for me or are all NPCs low poly ?
@@danielsirbu6706 A random gacha really made my man rethink the meaning of life lol. I mean good for you.
@@zahard1732 I probably made it sound weird.. it’s not that it made me rethink my life at all, it’s just that I’d much rather do other things than play it….
@@fast2011Same 😂😂
My Playable chars look fine but all the NPCs have PS2 pixel graphic lolll
There seems to be combat in my dialogue game, very disappointed.
😂😂
What? Preposterous! 😂
I’m always patient w new games. If a month goes by and it’s still wonky I’ll probably stop playing. But day 1? Yeah, I’ll give it time. So far having lots of fun. Don’t want to stop playing.
Same here, combat system is what makes me want to play more...
I beat Sekiro Twice so the combat is good enough for my taste.
i thought i was the only one. I have 139 ping on NA servers that spikes to 999. i have constant 60-70 ping in every other game so it would stutter like crazy i just got off it made no sense. shame cause i was enjoying the combat a lot.
Same, im getting 700+ spikes for doing anything from hitting to climbing to anything you can think of.
Same, I have to use the lowest graphics to even play, even in Genshin I can play with Medium graphics
Turning off anti-alias has helpped the lag significantly but rhe optimization still needs working badly. I'm still stuttering but at least I'm no longer lagging even at medium graphics eith 45 fps and toned down shadowing
i think its mainly a server load issue, I've been having it too but its less frequent at normie downtime hours when I'm also playing :P
i get 900+ from just walking and my game crashes if i change setting
Edit: they released a patch that stabilizes the game and makes it playable but is still spike and crash very often
I would like Hoyo to have some competition, but this ain't it. For how much ToF got criticized, it at least set itself apart from Genshin by having enough differences to at least make it worthwhile for me to explore, however long that lasted. This is just a harder Genshin with way less polish. I already play Genshin, I don't need another Genshin. I'm looking for something more different like Arknights Endfield and possibly Azur Promilia seem to be.
Bro chill, genshin is already 4 years old, there was no way Wuwa would have surpassed genshin on first try.
but the game u listing... it's also just another genshin with gimmick...
@@ei-chan8929they didn’t ask it to, they wanted something different.
@@zendroidchannel8693 I'm curious as to what you think the similarities between Endfield and Genshin are to be able to label it as another "Genshin with gimmick"?
As for AP, I already implied I need to see more before coming to a conclusion. They could lean more towards the Palworld/Pokemon side and that would be interesting and different enough for me.
@@zendroidchannel8693and genshin is just botw with gimmick
Why are there no content creators talking about how almost all mobile players can't even get past the first loading screen
oh really? I was tempted to try but it's bugged as well as being awful at the start and with trash story?
Pass.
the game works fine on my phone, but i did just get this phone brand new ab 2 years ago. do you have an older version or less space on it?
also, most content creators do not play this game on their phone. they want good stream and video quality, and a phone doesn't rlly give that.
@@shrexba my phone is fairly new I've had it for about six or seven months. And I can run other gotcha games like genshin star rail perfectly fine. And other mobile players that have good quality phones are having the same problem
My phone is a OnePlus 5 from 2017, and while not the best looking, it plays fine.
Its working for my 4 year old iphone 11 xd but the lagg and ping fluctuation is annoying ..
Does anyone else also experience strong headache/ nausea. Sometimes the camera feels so wobbly. I never experienced this in Genshin. Also the camera sensitivity is annoying I’m on mobile and already have it at max but it still takes so long to rotate the camera in a fight
I did, especially last night on the release. The camera just seems kind of whack, at least on mobile. I played again this morning and evening and it didn't seem as bad.
Turn off motion blur that helps a bit
I changed lots of settings to be able to play
Can we also talk about how bosses (at least the one u need to farm for Calcharo) run or teleport outside their arena and then auto reset at full hp? Between having to refight a boss 4-5 times for the rewards of killing it once and the game yapping at me more than I can play, I'm beyond not sold on this as a long term game. ToF vibes for sure.
Must be used to Genshin 10mins a day type of game . 1 hit killed all
lol, the first few times it happened I was so done. Later I started luring the bosses back to the centre.
@@MoViEh0lic What does any of the original comment have to do with Genshin?
Love honest and relateable reviews
Have to agree with you, I am playing slow and reading story to understand what is going on, but the amount of sheer info dump they throw at you made me have to take some light breaks here and there 😂
I think people give up on it a bit too soon. It isn't the second coming of Genshin (or its killer) like a lot of people wanted, but it isn't a Tower of Fantasy level joke either. If the devs learn from what worked and what didn't on launch + fix optimization, there is a future/potential for this game. I'll give it a bit more time to cook with patches and content, but first impression wise ''I ain't fully sold/invested yet''.
P.S. Removin that 50/50 might win you over a couple of players to stick around for longer *wink* *wink* 🤣🤣
Yes in just 1 conversation im given 4 terms that have no meaning to me but I can't ask questions about any of it.

Okay as a book nerd and lover of sci fi and fantasy majority if terms are easy to catch on to really quick for me I actually hate that they spend to much time trying to explain stuff they could just easily show us instead i hate monologuing as if the players are retarded. . . Sadly Wuxia stories are filled to their chamber pot shitty brim with such pointless posturing about the world building. *sigh*
@@FallenPhoenix-ml5mn And in 1 comment you given 4 paragraphs yapping about how Genshin is not that bad. LoL
Other than performance issues this game is def better than Genshin. I mean they do everything better lol… and their gacha is way friendlier
@@bruceleeroy3099right there’s always room for improvement but my thing with games is “IS IT FUN” and for me it is
btw, there is a free 4 star sword on top of the floating building above Inferno Rider after you complete the mail people's questline
I somehow never had any of the performance issues or any of the crashes. Did they maybe fix it in the recent updates?
I encountered two times where when I started dialogue the audio is starting but the text not appearing and I can't press anything, basically it froze. Had to restart, and it's annoying because restarting the game took minutes, compared to PGR opening the game feels really fast not even a minute.
WOOOO JENA! COMMENTING FOR ALGORITHM!!!!
Got a 3060ti with the latest drivers and my performance has been horrendous. I turned all my graphic settings to low and some off
I agree with almost all your points. I guess it's just an unpopular opinion to like the story? I dived into this game blind so I didn't check what the terms meant but had no problem understanding the terminology. (My main prob was how the subtitles are cut at the 4th line) I also liked how simple the start is. You also weren't just forced to do chores for everyone. I felt like there was pretty much a purpose to what you were gonna do and the main quest parts were more direct than usual.
But then, I play PGR and am used to Kuro's writing that the payoff and buildup are really good and is obviously dialogue-heavy and lotsa reading. It isn't open world so their writing might have been based on that format that they got used to, so I get if it can be a turn off. Still, I hope people are more patient and just let them cook the story anyway. I also dunno if it's unpopular, but I'm fine with the slow start since it's like you're exploring an apocalyptic world anyway so you can take it slow. I'm not a big fan of being an amnesiac MC and then just dragged to all kind of chaotic action without understanding stuff. Anyway, that's just me.
My audio seemed broken in the English version, it was skipping some dialog when I had it on auto and it was cutting some characters off. I switched to JP and that issue was no more. I really like exploring so far but I just couldnt be bothered with the story. The second I was allowed to roam I just left.
There Is no paimon, it's a win.
But what about your emergency food?
@@Lennis01 It's better than having someone yapping at you all the time.
@@ANoobInvoidat least paimon slowly introduce unknown terms to you and actually help you understand the world and the story. WW just straight up shove all info and terms down your throat
@@Lennis01u wanna eat paimon ussy?
The red haired gunner kinda annoying
Thats wild about the performance issues and graphic issues. I guess I've been pretty lucky because I have not had one stutter or graphical error so far. The game runs smoothly and is on ultra to high graphics. I have noticed the text ending early when reading through the story. Makes it pretty annoying and feels like I'm losing context on what is going on.
It's look like a 480p in my pc and mobile version is little sharp after small update but still not great, I'm very disappointed.
I feel the overhype really isn't helping the game
Like people who overhyping the story from day 1
Like wtf 😒
With how much people where sucking it off you would think Wuwa would be pinnacle of storytelling when in reality in more likely to be average at best if not bit more
From the get go honestly this is not the type of story that kuro likes to do. They had to change it bc people said it was too "negative" and all. Kuro's best work in storytelling is literally whenever they make every character suffer, not be happy go lucky like in wuwa lol
Stop spreading lies literally no one was hypijg the story
@@GreaterSociety then you really live under a rock
Honestly and with a lot of malice I think it youtubers/content creators fault they want ww to be a mihoyo killer and will overhype literally anything I swear when the launch was super bad most of what they said was "...well at least they are generous with the compensation" ye no shit they better be they fucked up the only thing you should N E V E R fuck up xd people will always remember that even years later
Like with all of this no stop covering I too got into the hype didn't last long because apparently I became a free beta tester on launch xd
@@Saren_5 the things while it's gone viral that a lot of people got bugs and all, there aren't really "a lot" of people that got it. It's not a majority, not even half of the player base, and while it's not very "hyped" about now, that's just how every game is. Launch is the peak, then it'll die down leaving the actual loyal players that actually wanted more from the game instead of player who's just testing the water
YOO new 200 mb dropped, and the game improved SOOO MUCH.
Fps has gotten so much better, i was getting 40-60 now im easily getting 120 constant.
Also 120 fps display is back :D
Also havent gotten any crashes since the update
still freezing for me, no changes
@camou3926 even after the update? That's weird man I talked to ppl in the discord and pretty much everyone's game performance improved by a lot after the update
Update just came out less than an hour ago btw
@@dragonofmight3971 yeah, sadly even after the update. I can run genshin and HSR on medium graphics without much trouble, but this game just won't let me play it. I'm freezing for about 5-10 seconds every time i try to suddenly move somewhere or attack something
@camou3926 I'd say to turn all your settings to the minimum and also lookup a guide on UA-cam for optimizing other settings outside of the game.
Since the game was laggy for so many ppl there's a lot of optimization tutorials already
Everything looks so nice at a close distance. It looks kind of blurry with some distance and my eyes can't take that effect. I tried blum option off, no fsr, illumination, all options, and my eyes can't take more that 1 or 2h playtime without getting a headache.
I did pull Lingyang and I did need to take a walk so I wouldn't quit KEK
This was a great review. I want this game to win as well
I got Verina which I am happy with but choose Calcharo I basically will have both units I wanted ^^
I dont have any problems outside of some challenges not spawning. I dont mind the exposition dump as Genshin is a lot worse than WuWa rn.
I enjoy the game and hope they can fix it fast and compensate accordingly.
you can buy cons from the shop?!?!
Bri what is lunite and the uses anyone explain
I don't want to go back to climbing cliffs and stuck while running into an open field/town because there's some uneven land/floors/stone 😔
between this and impact 3rd, which one would you recommend?
If you're into the story, Honkai Impact 3rd is your best bet, for gameplay Wuthering Waves is what you're looking for.
My problem was the performance issues and how voice lines get cut off. Additionally, the random drop is graphics.
uhm sorry to ask but is rover havoc obtainable in 1.0? i cant find any info on it
you need to advance in the main history and also be union rank 21 or more
Seeing this reminds me of PGR early days but imma stick with this to the end seeing as Kuro know what to do with PGR to improve it after the early incident to being a underrated game with one of the best story later on and one of the best gameplay wise
Voice acting is bloody atrocious WHY does every single character sound so freaking boooored in english or is it AI voices like holy hell. . .
Same Eng voicing is so bad 😂😂
I have to change to JP just by listening to Yang Yang emotionless robotic voice
I heard that Kuro is hiring a new EN voice director and letting the VAs speak naturally now to make it better. Many of the VAs are British but were told to speak with US accents; I've heard the acting in their demo reels is a lot better than their acting in WuWa due to WuWa's EN having a bad voice director and such.
@@Axiian19 Well that is good to hear
Jiyan and calcharo in a team? Don't get me wrong, I desire that too, but don't they both compete for the same on-field damage roles? Please tell me this works haha
Love the game!! But it kinda hurts to say that it's been a struggle to play firstly when I try to play without a vpn it gives me this message: The gateway connection timed out. Please try again later. im on iPhone also another thing is my phone gets SUPER hot n I leave the graphics on medium makes it a pain to play but i really hope they fix some things cuz im in love❤
I played the game for more than 12 hours today and so far I'm having fun. Even though I have serious skill issue the game starts out forgiving enough that I can still get somewhere, which I appreciate. The exploration is not bad, though I feel like the map is a little underpopulated in places.
I wanted to take a bit more time with doing story so I haven't finished the main story yet. But based on what I've seen so far I agree with what was mentioned in the video. In a way I am not actually surprised though. When you have large story rewrites as far in as CBT2, only weeks before launch, a subpar result is almost expected.
Personally I did not have to deal with any major technical issues but in my friend group things like frequent crashes were common. What has been a major negative experience for me however was the text presentation. The english text on some dialogue boxes was so long it got cut off, parts of sentences got lost. I like to play with non-english VO so not being able to read everything is just unacceptable. And feel free to call me stupid but I could not figure out that you could actually scroll the text box with your mouse, after all the game makes no indication that scrolling is even an option (and it shouldn't even need to be).
ya the optimization is horrible. that stupid error lading to crashes is horrible.
but im glad youre honest compared to other CCs.
@@rjacks3284I mean, it’s really fun.
@@rjacks3284 haha tectone kek
@@rjacks3284for a mobile game it is
Ahaha mintpicker thread😂. I have to thank you though, us who don't have optimization issues whatsoever are getting 10 pulls🤑🤑🤑
@@letsrank9349 good keep playing a inferior game haha.
Idk I havent had any issues with performance or crashes at all and im on an rtx 3070, so it seems really situational
TBH I liked the characters and story even if it’s not exactly Cyberpunk or Baldur’s Gate. The tone (helped by the music and visuals) fit my sensibilities. The voice I liked least was YangYang’s.
But even her, it avoided the very infantile aesthetic, characters and voice acting that put me off Genshin and ToF. The characters seem like adults (or in some cases at least young adults) and there’s no Paimon or that stuttering mini-robot girl from ToF babyvoice screaming in my ear.
I agree with the story in the beginning. It is very exposition dump. I hope it gets better as it goes on.
At this rate I'm not sure if I want to keep playing. Optimization issues can be solved later, but the storytelling is just full-stop bad and makes you not want to care about the world and what happens later
Sweetily's takes are essentially on the money because she's deeply tuned to both EN / CN communities. The CN community is eviscerating this launch but it will settle down after the 1st wave rage quit. The EN community was way too overhyped but will be in for some bitter disappointment down the line when hype dies down and the issues fester
Yeah I'm with you in this. The story just big meh. There's no urgency or emotion that make me want to care what to MC gonna do.
@@ryokiiedesu4026the story gets really good in the later half.
Bruh.
@@Voiddrifter725eh not really at least for me
The first half is generic af .I have to say though the scar part was amazing however after we meet him everything feels rished af like we communicate with the pink haired girl off screen and have this perfect plan and chatch him
after that suddenly everyone knows and respects me even though nobody announced we were the "important guest"
then we have to find out about the dudes with the black flowers that might know something about us the premise is fine but its also rushed
Then out of nowhere with almost no build up a world ending event is happening and we meet up with the general and we fight the big bad guy . We're struggling agaisnt the boss and we're about to lose and the BOOM random power up saves us a random blop comes out eats thebblast away and we win .Loke wtf ?
8:20 because they can't, some games are programmed to load assets while the prerendered cutscene plays - basically like loading screen
For everyone having a problem with stuttery feel here is a tipp.
Put Camera Shake on Low
Turn off
Camera Reset
Moving Camera Correction
Combat Camera Correction
Assited Aiming
This really made the game feel better and smoother.
I turned off anti Alias so I will try this. The anti - Alias turned off helpped a ton but still stuttering non stop
Just tried this and this worked perfectly for me, thank you!
Thank you mate it really helped a lot
gonna try this tomoow when I hop back on
it must be really nice to play wuwa without any problems...... my phone lags a lot, i was so excited to play it, but my phone doesn't meet the system requirements, so the game runs very slow.... man i'm so sad right now....
This game i think is better to play on pc for the specs alone
Kuro has changed the story once, so I'm praying they do it again-
In the EN livestream they called the launch an 'open beta'
That’s what you legally have to call all live service games in China from my understanding
You're so right about quitting when not getting the character that you want. I quit tower of fantasy when i couldn't get Nemesis even tho i paid money in it. I just couldnt be arsed to grind from the very beginning like that
JUST MOVING THE GAME TO SSD literally fixed every single problem for me
The story makes no sense. Feels like the MSQ is just a huge chore with no real direction. The flow of the game got broken way too early. I finished part of the MSQ at Union 9 and it wouldn't continue till Union 14. HSR/Genshit didn't do this till way later in the game. Genshit didn't break the MSQ for me till Liyue on launch and HSR didn't do it till later parts of Belobog. The combat is fun but feels very limited at the start; almost nothing is unlocked till higher Union levels. The localization is 100% rushed. They didn't even check their coding for the monkey boss description, literally has HTML and left in the description. Thought the game would be too rushed releasing this early after CB2 and it turns it to be 100% correct. Guess they didn't want to compete with ZZZ in July. Only upside to Wuwa right now is the exploration. The environment looks amazing even on my ghetto 1660 super. Wall running, air dashing, and grappling are all amazing and feels very smooth besides the occasional hiccup of not parkouring over a minor obstable when wall running up. This game will sadly need a few months for it catch up to the quality of a Hoyo game.
maybe it’s a bore cuz u did everything the first day?? make it make sense
its running completely fine on max settings with a 1660 super?
Genshin did have some early level locks. You might've been already at the correct level to do them.
they still fixing when we are playing so i have high hope it gonna perfect after a month
The beginning story and dialogue made me uninstall. All this did was make me want to start playing Genshin Impact again lol
Agree with most of your points. Small note about the pull system: I only got two 4* characters in my 50 pulls on the beginner banner and 4* weapons several 10 pulls in a row. In contrast to Genshin and HSR there doesn’t seem to be a pity system on 4* characters weapons vs characters? Don’t know if that’s true for the event banners as well, I did get quite some characters on the limited banner.
You get 4* every 10 pull pity what are you on about
+If your talking abt the 4 star guarantee WuWa has it too.
10 pull = 4 Star
Not featured 4 Star? -> Next 4 Star will be feature.
@@kalsang6255Yes, I know, maybe learn to read. As I wrote, but I’ll repeat it for you, Hoyo games have a ‘pity’, where if you get a 4* weapon on a character banner, you are GUARANTEED to get a 4* character next 10 pull. This doesn’t seem to be a thing in WW, at least not on the standard banner.
If you have an old device and it's crashing, consider upgrading. I play on IOS and no problema
I tried the game and couldn’t see any of the issues he is talking about. This a new game, and basically as any other game of its kind it will keep getting better. It a great game 10/10
I have played a few hours and enjoyed them all but I think it does need some optimization and better storytelling. I don’t want to be to harsh since it is only day one and things can improve as time goes on,but I will say it isn’t the best story wise and the optimization could definitely be better. I hope they fix these issues soon.
The English dialogue sounds weird. Something very “AI generated” about the way the characters talk. Had to switch to Japanese so it didn’t seem so clunky.
the potentialthis ame has is great,i didnt have any crashes(play on a galaxy 20 +note),the combat is the main "sale" of this game.even tho i play on a phone the combat is great!the "clanky" movements happen only when i try to run on a huge mountain and once you get used of the char movement that doesnt happen too often.
the only "minus" for me(that can be a killer for players) is the borring chracter side quests that can not be skiped and go on non n on every few "steps" or mins!!i get why they would make the main story unskipable but the longside quests too?they need to fix that asap!!the lionboiz sidequest had some insanly good parts in it(side scrolling,exploring n more) but when i got there i was allready so damn borred from the multiple cutscenes i didnt enjoy eny of those parts!!
i ve never played genshin impact but if anyone can tell me that it has this kind of combat(both fun n depth) without the tedious cutscenes i ld love to give it a try
Yeah, for me all the npcs lost texture and i had to re-install the game
I really like exploration in this game
For me, the story is good so far, where still in Introduction phase, and it gives me an expression that they building something. I think Kuro game needs to add to their checklist about getting a better script and storytelling.
my beginner banner disappeared after getting verina on 40th pull, i thought the discounted banner was supposed to be 50 pulls
Every game with a guaranteed 5star/ssr characters do this. After you got one character it'll disappear, that's just how it works
@@wyatten5057 oh i didnt know that, thanks for clarifying
I love hearing sane gacha creators speak sanely about games they have reasonable opinions on
My biggest problem is the mandatory level to unlock main story. LET ME PLAY THE MAIN STORY. I do not care to side quest, it's wasted time and locking people to daily limits softly if you dont wanna do side quests. When I tried to power through on side quests for XP the first time you had to go from where you are like lvl 10 to 14 to get what was a very short chapter, I spent more time getting those 4 levels with the character side story (the jingle beast one) from how much unskippable dialogue there was in that (plus a really long dungeon) only to get a short puzzle dungeon into a single boss fight (albeit a really cool boss fight) but more of that dialogue was skippable than the first. Now they want me to get a bunch more levels again. Feels demotivating. I'll power through it cause I like the gameplay but it really burnt me out. I can't believe you power through that and finished the entire story. Idk man I dont understand what benefit there is to do those level locks, I get it for the first one if there is a side story they want to be mandatory, or if it's to force you to use all the new mechanics but after that level 10 - 14 one even when I did all the side mechanics first time unlocked+side story I still had to do random mini-side quests to get the last bit of XP. Feels redundant and only fuels the fire on the problems of retention for these types of games when it's all manual.
Easy for a game like HSR to do it since it has auto fights being turned based but ya.
Level locks are there to force you to increase your playtime by making you do side content. It essentially forced you to spread your gameplay across multiple sessions. And that's what game companies want since it keeps the playerbase "engaged" for a longer period of time. And then they can look at their statistics and say to investors "Look how long our players are playing! They're really enjoying the game!" Its a business practice at the end of the day. It sucks ass I agree though.
@@Messi-rw9ng On the flip side with games that are purely manual it also makes them hit the first road block and go "Screw this" then never touch again reducing your overall player retention data which if I was investing would be what I want to know more than how long people are playing. Who cares how long a non-paying customer plays. Even paying customers who cares if they play 5 hours or 5 minutes? If they still pay either way it doesnt matter.
I wanna know how many we bring in, keep overall and transform into paying cash cows. So I see no actual incentive.
But atlast, the people who have the millions to invest into these projects probably are not as versed at knowing what stats actually matter to look at to decide if a project in a success I guess would be the main argument to my logic.
i have prety decent laptop so didnt had those lagg isues lotta ppl complain about
but
the absolute worst thing for me is the camera like which dark souls game camera did they smash into this game, i having harder time fighting the camera than the mobs so far
wuthering waves story feels like chinese manhuas
I think the story needs some time to cook.
I really enjoy the combat. It’s flashy, there are different things you can do. It feels and looks cool to switch out your characters.
Exploration is cool because your sprint doesn’t consume stamina lol and also parkour. I would say that the jumping, gliding and grapple hook does feel stiff though.
There are optimization issues and the 100+ ping playing on the west coast sucks lol.
best review by far
I had so much Lag and my computer is good so I gave up done with this game.
No inverted control support in setting
What kind of sociopath uses inverted controls 💀
@LordHaragnok and calling someone a sociopath for a basic sitting in games out of line do better
MOBILE CONTROLLER SUPPORT.
I WILL TALK ABOUT THIS ON EVERY VID I SEE UNTIL ITS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY THOSE WHO CAN INFLUENCE IT GETTING PUT IN.
MOBILE

PS4
CONTROLLER
SUPPORT!
This is my first gotcha game. A friend asked me to play it to try out this genre of game and so far in 4 hours of gameplay is the FPS. Having it at a 60FPS cap is very annoying.
I've been playing for like 8 hours straight it's been while since I was so excited for a game
Nobody excited for this garbage when the game cant even launch properly.
Stop inhaling that copium 🤮
@@harfi212 bro Hu Tao isn't real and she is not your girlfriend 😂😂😂
you are just another (need to shower) obsessed Genshin player
@alipaydar370 no amount of delulu comment gonna make this garbage not a flop.
Its over wuthering bro 🫡
@@harfi212 genshin will die hoyoverse is shitting itself they raised the resin cap and introduced a new endgame if that's not proof that wuthering waves is threatening genshins popularity I don't know what is
They forgot about controller support
They givin 10 pull because of the performance issue 🤩
I wanna play the game so bad but I got a laptop 😢
Its sad my device cant run it.
A game so good, even Smilegate is playing it
Oh no is this going to be like ToF :((
It won't, tho. It's a release day, no wonder the servers are loaded/
I don't think it'll ever be that bad. ToF at launch was already a steaming pile of garbage imo. This game definitely isn't that at that point.
Nah, its not ToF level. Wuwa has a lot of promise and the devs have a good track record with PGR already. Just needs time and polish.
the crashing in this game is quite a big issue for me, i can play the game for 20 ish minutes before having to reload the game. it’s a tedious process though i like the game other than that.
DID HE SAY PARRY!!!!!
My expectations were already low, but damn. The only good thing up untill now was the combat.
I will probably give this game another try once they fix a few things. For me, 60 FPS & 140MS in Oregon to Americas feels pretty laggy & choppy at times. Cannot have a 60 FPS PC port, unacceptable really.
Wdym i love the story so nice...
The Black lamb was so dark i love it
Good > Good
Bad > Story issues, nothing big
Ugly > Perfomance Issues, will be fixed.
Facit = Amazing Game, anything bad will be changed.
From what Ah'm hearing, this reminds me of the ol' Tower of Fantasy launch from a few years back,
Dissapointing story and development,
along with some clunkiness and rough edges.
Though this sounds much better and more optimised, with better character design, and gameplay and art overall.
Maybe they will be able to polish it up and it'll drastically improve as they continue deveoping it, and it'll make some nice contrast to Genshin.
Though what Genshin had going for it was a compelling story and fresh take on gatcha game/open world exploration stuff, where this seems to now be playing off of what Genshin started and doing things differently than they did.
Hopefully it goes well for 'em, thanks for the video and review mahn 🤟
It is good to try something new and not follow genshin impact completely.
@@thomaskennedy5728 Totally agree 🤙
Just as Genshin springed off a lot of what BoTW did, other games should spring off what Genshin did to make new things with different flavors. That's literally how art evolves, so I hope WuWa hits something with what they are doing 🤘
The first "free" 5* standard character is literally random and with my lucky I got the character that I literally liked the least even hate. Now I need 80 more pulls and rerolling isn't a thing because of the drag of a Intro. Now I need to literally play the whole game to get a character I like and at that time I will be done with the whole content. Had a better start with genshin rerolling.

Totally agree with the story, too much info dump from the act 1 only. If we compare it to GI 1.0 the story are much easier to follow. We start with smaller scale conflict then as the journey continue the story start to expand but not at rapid pace either. I hope it got better later, such a waste if this game failed.
Yup, paimon definitely helped us understand the overworld better and the main story as well. This was straight up deepthroating you terms and info
