Why do you still play hoyogames?are you not bored of them?
>>722496041its good agp fuel
I usually drop them when they go to their 'definitely not China ' equivalent. Which is a shame because I really started to like ZZZ.
>Paimon has her tongue outSlut
>>722496041I've played HI3,GI,HSR and ZZZdrop them all at some point
>>722497061my wifes
>>722496041>Genshin ImpactI enjoy the new region. The characters are very well written and the story and pacing improved.>Honkai: Star RailToo much exposition and the author is always stalling by repeating stuff about philosophy over and over. There are only 1-2 combat sequences in the story every six weeks.>Zenless Zone ZeroThe developers do not try anymore. Half of the cutscenes are unvoiced and no animations. Most of them are black screens with white texts, or characters just standing and doing no gestures.
>>722496041Idk I tried my best with zzz to stay caught up but once u get fatigued from the daily login, it feels more like a job. Stayed until the umbrella girl and then quit cold turkey. For genshin I stayed till childe, hsr I stayed till Kafka
>>722497463This. I know that the dailies mechanics are developed to make you develop an habit of playing the game daily and keep you coming back, but for me it eventually started to make me dread the game because it felt like a perpetual chore. At some it was what made me quit the game entirely.
I've been playing GI for 5 years, I'm invested by now and will stick with it forever. Won't fucking touch anything else by them though.
>>722496041I've played Hi3rd, GI, HSR and ZZZPlayed GI for the longest (since 1.0) but dropped it last May, it's unironically bad nowGot some nice memories of hi3rd, especially Durandal, dropped it after Palatinus Equinox, it became more predatory than everHSR is probably the worst mihoyo gameZZZ is the only one I still play and enjoy, by far the best mihoyo title at the moment
>>722497459imagine the kot futa cock
Despite how shit they are they're still the benchmark for quality in their genre, and I prefer the gacha model where I get regular free content over triple A slop charging me 100 bucks + season pass + MTX + fuck you every two years for the same game.
>>722496041
>>722496041i used to play ggz, too bad global publisher kill it.
I play Reverse1999
>>722496041What's the point of this thread?
hoyofags are basically blizzfags, they're diehard loyalists no matter how bad shit gets.
>>722498256>Despite how shit they are they're still the benchmark for quality in their genrelol no they're not. Hoyoslop hasn't been quality ever since they hit it big and make billions every year. They don't have to try anymore so they're just resting on their laurels.
>>722498821unironically what games would you say are superior to hoyo's? im researching the story of gacha games
>>722496041the new Genshin's OST slaps insanely hard, cured my Witcher nostalgia for a while https://youtu.be/llQDVz9En2Q
I never played a single game from hoyo. I have only one tag filtered on my steam and that is "free to play".
>>722499091it's probably my 3rd favorite region ost after sumeru and mondstadt
>>722499091>slaps insanely hard>the most generic ost imaginablejesus christ genshitters are braindead
>>722499091When are they releasing the hour long disc versions of the OST?
>>722496041I grew out of free "job games" thankfully. Feels unshackling to not have to do daily/weekly missions in a game for crumbs of premium currency.
>>722499091Waiting for this one to play in game one day. I think we won't hear it until 6.4 or 6.5 so like 4-5 months from now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuXa_yxZMGI
>>722497463You are saying you basically quit both games right at the start.
>>722499091nasha town has the best town theme ost after port ormoshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IFDSRb3kFs
>>722499091I never regret coming back to Genshin every now and then just to explore and listen to the music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCa6sVxN9VQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYwoDqlVnkg
>>722499017Hoyo is basically the only one to push the limits. HI3 was the first 3d action gacha game and Genshin was the first open world gacha game. Well I’m not 100% sure on HI3 but I can’t find any that released before it in my quick search.
>>722496041I play MHY games because they're the best gacha games to play.You have several thousands of hours of content across all of them. High production value. Diverse cast (in a good way). Tons of ludokino highlights. And you can experience it all for free. These are very generous games that respect and value the free player experience.You're really doing yourself a disservice by ignoring them.
>>722499363I've played this game for five years and I can't remember any environmental soundtrack outside of mondstadt, most overrated shit evermeanwhile I still remember every Kiseki theme not composed by singa
>>722499826mihoyo put the most effort into hi3 and quality has rapidly declined since then
>>722499720That’s what my one friend does. He installs and plays Genshin for about a month each year just before the new region comes out. Plays through all the current region story and exploration and then quits again until next year.
>>722496041Dropped HSR recently because the events were garbage and i have no more simulated universe to do, CZN may scratch taht itch but i'm just not feeling hsr anymore.ZZZ still as fun as always and im now trying to get high scores because i have done pretty much all there is to do in the game and im sitting on a hoard to spend on zhao, only the subway surfers minigame left to do.
>>722499912Sounds like a problem with you, I still vividly remember ambient tracks from 2.xhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeQCuNmKAvMAlso not everything Singa did was badhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzacPOjQ7EgGet that spoon out of your arse.
YOOOOOOOO HOYO GAMEPLAY IS FIRE!!
>>722499912turn the audio on
>>722500227That's just basic gacha addiction.It's very easy to enjoy hoyo games without falling into that addiction trap.
>>722500225Synchronicity is good for the first 30s and then it turns into shit.Not everything Singa did was bad, he did compose some decent tracks, even a good one very, very occasionally (like Iclucian Dance) but 98% of his tracks never go above 5/10 and he's one of the big reasons kiseki lost its flavour
>>722500465Once you realize how unimportant new characters are for anything it's incredibly easy to just log in and play when you want to or when new content is added.>THIS NEW BROKEN UNIT CHANGES EVERYTHING!No it doesn't, it's a babby game with no difficult content.
>>722496041I only play Infold games.
>>722500518I don't know man, 3rd is probably where I think JDK peaked, sure. But that doesn't mean I think the new music is bad at all, I think it's pretty solid all the way through the series and people whine about Singa like he single handedly ruined everything. It's so trite.
>>722499636That is literally playing the game everyday for like 3 months for genshin and hsr and like a year for zzz
>>722500828I thought this game exploded because the devs remembered they were a gacha game two month in or something.
>>722496278>playing as any of the girls
>>722500831The soundtrack was great up until CS2 (FC aside)CS3 and CS4 still had a very good ost overall but the drop in quality was very noticeablyHajimari + Kuro 1/2 are genuinely bland and extremely forgettable to the point that I can safely say they don't feel like Kiseki games anymore, just some dogshit bootleg without soul, especially Kuro because Hajimari still has the best combat system in the series
>>722499091It sucks compared to anywhere that isn't fontaine.
>>722496041I enjoy routine, and I'm still scared of dropping games. I dropped Zenless after I finished the 2.0 story. I'll probably drop Genshin and Star Rail at some point, but I'm fine for now.
>>722501023Pretty sure 1st has the best combat system now.
>>722501213I've played the demo and it felt like Kuro but without the gimmick assists/buff you could get by staying in a character's circleit's average
>>722500851Childe came out the first banner of 1.1 so 6 weeks. Kafka was indeed 1.2 so three months there.
>>722496041>HI3rdAfter part 1/Kiana's focus was over, it was done. And noooothing I've seen so far implies otherwise.Way less ambitious patches, no Post Honkai Odyssey Part 3, story is meh, they immediately went back to year one/StarRail balance where an all compressing new gimmick makes FOMO broken characters >GenshinFiller. Oh my god, so much filler.>Star RailWorst and most iconic China shift. DIdn't get as fun as a real high fantasy story, blueballed the fuck out of the soft aeon war, too much grinding to ignore. Then when I came back, they were on China 2. No thanks.>ZZZAbsolute drop in soul, direction, and uniqueness. Everyone in 2.0 is either an extreme conversion to Star Rail style filler or converted to the most boring moeslop, the production value got way worse, their real time animations outside combat are dry as fuck, and the side content is so short and lame. Also for Anby being the cover girl, she does practically nothing as but a fill in for what should be S11's involvement, and her normal Cunning Hares self is just barely relevant.Also even the one good part of Genshin and Star Rail's antagonists being they're charming and well designed, is ruined. >Nah, I'm a cultist now and you have to fight me as the big bad guy with no lead up or moral hangups
I still love Genshin dearly. Play it with my girlfriend and we have a great time.ZZZ had soul and potential but they butchered it and I quit months ago I don't play any other gachashit
>>722501004>Self inserting and pretending the male is lord gigacock emperor Wise is the absolute worst for this because his current outfit makes him this fat ass twink, he has a Twilight moment with Hugo and Lycoan, and they don't even know what to do with Phaethon anymore so now he has this undeserved ego that gets called out
>>722501845>Also even the one good part of Genshin and Star Rail's antagonists being they're charming and well designed, is ruined. chinese gacha writing can just be summed up to varying degrees of dogshit
The Chinese language barrier really makes their games unpalatable to otaku familiar with japanese games and game culture, only koreans managed to nail it (Blue Archive).
>>722496041No.
>>722502013try tower of fantasy
Still doing my genshin, hsr, and zzz dailies, though it's been a bit of a dead cycle since genshin 6.0 dropped
>>722496041No one is playing zzz kek
>>722500903The drama happened a long time ago. The game itself is still the same dress up game so people that want that still get it. Last few patches have been great too. LaDS does get better treatment which I also like and play.
>>722502969based
>>722503170They need to hype people up with another Miyabi-tier character. The 6.3 and 6.4 characters aren't enough to hype people up
>>722503384>They need to hype people up with another Miyabi-tier characterShifu sucked and killed the game with forced shilling
I don't get Shifu haters desu>cute>strong>30 yo virgin>in to (you)
>>722503472just another proof that the masses have dogshit taste, miyabi is a worse character in every single way
>>722503598
>>722496041Sunk cost fallacy. People already spent a lot of money and time in these trash games, waiting for the next fomo patch became a part of their life... Something similar to what happened with anime MMOs right before that bubble exploded btw

>>722504036Trust the plan
>>722504036fallume heights has to be the least bad chinese arc of all gacha, they managed to strike a nice middle ground between zzz's urban aesthetic and chinese stufffallume heights itself looks pretty good and the soundtrack is nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2muqgKhWup4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9ew2oq41tA

>>722496041I don't want to miss daily currency for free pulls.I've been pretty good at making dailies most days for the last several years.I can't imagine quitting now after all this effort.
>>722504817Why does she have such a stupid name
>>722505813The problem is whenever you actually think about it for more than five minutes and realize that having a job is a more time efficient source of primogems than your daily grind, even if it's only 10 minutes.
>>722496041>GenshinDay 1 PlayerActually Improved the StorytellingAlot of 4* Units and different Teams to Play>HSRDroppedtoo much PowercreepDidn`t like the Greek SettingStorytelling is 8hr Standing in Circle, Hand to Chest Animation & PNG>ZZZWuWa came too late to the PS5Persona 5 but as a Action GameHave the most luck & saved pullsOn the Edge of Quitting because of the stale Storytelling (ZoomCall, Black Screen/White Text)

>open umamusume>200 pulls for a single pity that doesn't carry overI'm sorry I ever doubted you hoyo-sama...
>>722497463ZZZ has the bones to be a fantastic action RPG and I will forever resent it for refusing quality in its pursuit of forever money.There are no good gacha.
>>722507163Sometimes i read shit like this and actually wonder if some posters live in a different universe. What's wrong with Paimon in nod krai, or the writing? How would you make exploration more rewarding? The terrain changes as you do stuff and you find out different things about the world you play in.
>Star RailYes, Amphoreus has a lot of issues, both in overall pacing and specific moments. However, it's also had a lot of great moments and sequences. Part of it is curiosity on how they'll end up connecting SR and HI3 more in the future given overlap in bothGameplay is still fun despite HP inflation>HI3Bit more on the backburner than it used to be, but Part 2 really hit a good stride w/ Helia's arc in terms of story so I'm interested to see if they can keep it up with further Senadina and Leylah stuffAstral Ring mechanic is ok, varies per specific unit>ZZZIs indeed one of Hoyo's overall weakest games so far. Failume Heights generally hasn't been super compelling as a region, 2.2 had a decent story/faction at least. Not super looking forward to 2.3's story/charactersPretty fun to play w/ Alice and Seed, and Sanby getting a buff is good
I am literally March 7th
>>722508026>What's wrong with... the writing?Please read a book or play a non-f2p game, for your own sake.
>>722496041gotta say, quitting hoyoslop feels goodno more epic black screen fades with shitty visual novel cutscenes, no more overdesigned chinkslop characters on my screen, no more terrible daily grindi just installed disney speedstorm and it's so much funno interruptions, you just get into the races and have funthis brings me to another pointhow unoptimized hoyoslop is, especially zzzit's like 30gb on phones, while speedstorm is just about 5gbdespite having nothing to do besides boring combat (and shitty arcade games)it's all style, no substance
>>722508228>it's bad because i say so
>>722496313wouldn't be surprised if there's a whole ass year of chink furniture, clothing, events, etc in petit planet's equivalent of the chinkwank year
>>722503848>!Booty bothered>!!Pooper pained>!!!Shitter shattered>LMAFOAnally annihilated
>>722508156>ZZZ is indeed one of Hoyo's overall weakest games so far. Nah it's definitely the best one at the moment.The weakest title is by far HSR, it's probably the videogame with the least effort put into it, considering how much money it makes Can't think of a single title that feels as neglected.
>>722508407>Give me an essay so I can go "uhm. No, sweetie ;)"Nah.The pacing and lack of catharsis alone is a deal breaker. I don't need to dive deep to explain why a game designed to keep you playing forever intentionally avoids good writing.
>>722508407NTA but I've elaborated a billion times on this on a ton of different threads, you're just a lost cause and probably think arlechino's quest is "fucking kino" and fontaine a "storytelling masterpiece"I hope you're under 20 or a shill, for your own sake
>>722508023This. They refused to listen to feedback from beta (give us an actual Hollow map where we see environments and characters isometrically or something, they took the map view of Darkest Dungeon and made that their whole dungeon crawl mode)Then they rushed the game and released it unfinished with a ton of vestigial mechanics they couldn't finish because gacha (like the daily schedules)Then they folded under very little pressure and rushed to "fix" the game by gutting all the soul, shoving corridors, chinaslop and doomed banners with shitty pacing.ZZZ could have been great.
>>722508559>>722508614>this video game's story sucks because it doesn't match top ranked booksYou can't name a game with a better story.
>>722497463that's why hoyo's idea to turn gachashit into games isn't working out well for themliterally NO ONE is going to manage handling THREE fucking gacha games at once (just talking about the three big hoyo gachas)star rail is the only one that casuals pick up because it takes the least amount of effort and timeyou simply hit the fast forward and autoplay buttons, the game plays by itself, the grind is much more bearable than genshin and zzztheir profits are just divided between the three games because people just can't handle playing all three (and more non-hoyo gacha or games by side)they are going to add two more gachashit to the list and it's just gonna give people gacha fatiguethankfully, ananta releasing might grab enough players to make the other gacha developers drop their monetization and daily fomo module
Ananta will topple hoyo, the asian free to play mobile market is going to make a shift
>>722508756>all the soulThey removed TV and turned the story into seriouslopIt's damaging but the game is still really soulful, felt great to hear Trigger have special voicelines when switching to Seed or Orphie despite being a considerably older character
>>722508940I still don't understand how Ananta is supposed to make money, and that worries me greatly.
>>722501845i'll never understand the decision behind making march and anby the cover girls of their respective gamesboth shitpompom and eous would've been better choices for face of the games
>>722508940I won't.Ananta will (maybe) be very popular for a while, then everyone will jump ship because of the inevitable content drought after two months.
I tried like a dozen of them for free and quit them all, except Genshin. It just has the juice.
>>722503557chinkwank is shit
>>722497459>Half of the cutscenes are unvoiced and no animations. Most of them are black screens with white texts, or characters just standing and doing no gestures.That's not true at all. The fuck are you on about?
>>722508818>You can't name a game with a worse story.I sure can't.
>>722496041I actually like story of HSR, so I'm sticking with it.Picked Genshin like... six months ago, and I might take a break from it, though the new region is nice. At moment I'm just doing dailies quickly since I'm playing other games.Played ZZZ on launch until Miayabi, then dropped the game until Vivian (or S.Anby, whichever came first) and I'm really considering dropping it again. The current story just isn't interesting.
>>722509209March 7th has been asleep for a year now.
>>722509304While still screenshots of Genshin are visually the worst looking of the big three Hoyo games, the devs are seriously putting all the assets they have to work. Characters emote and camera angle changes in scenes, making everything feel really lively. You really gotta respect that.And Melusines were cute.
>>722509304It really does
>>722503170I'm playing it so you're wrong.
>>722509546>the devs are seriously putting all the assets they have to workIt's clear why they made Miliastra.
>>722509551>Searching for posts with the image hash ‘RGJjyszfdnk/O6+LxMHN9g==’. 63 results found.Imagine being this obsessed because the events you do have some lore to go with them instead of just being "Do this because I say so"
zzz was advertised as that one gacha game with light urban slice-of-life story and most unique character designs in the entire gacha marketthey listened to pags and jeets who love china wank and MC wank and ai generated waifu slop, and hated everything about zzz but still picked it up because they are gacha slop slurpers who do nothing but play gacha slop on their 300 poopees bharat saarsung phones 24/7it's good to see it floppingnever listen to pags and jeets who don't even paythey're all freeloaders who unfortunately are very loud due to their sheer numbers

>>722509731
I miss the aesthetics of early ZZZ
>>722496041ZZZ is the only one i've played for more than a few days and i'm getting ready to drop it. Haven't rolled for anyone from 2.0 outside of Yi Xuan and Ju Fufu, no one since then has interested me in the slightest and I haven't even bothered getting caught up with the story.
>>722509731>zzz>MC wanknever was.never will be.
>>7225098302.1 felt great, schoolgirls ARE ZZZ
>>722509752no, someone should post the granny and radish pastareally shows how ridiculous hoyoslop writing is
>>722509830We just need ZZZ to get a real collab so Ellen, Billy and Nicole can be evacuated to a different game, then just euthanize it.
>>722496041I've been enjoying Genshin again after ignoring the whole summer event and then having to do it anyways with less rewards.Zenless has completely lost me, I don't care at all right now after adoring it for the first year.
The local shitposts got brought to you by/vmg/ - /gdg/ gacha drama general
>>722509884>schoolgirls ARE ZZZshit, let me think about that for a minute
>>722509989They should have delayed ZZZ a year to have an actual plan and roadmap for the game instead of releasing a beta then flip flopping and scrapping half the game in real time. It isn't like they released anything since that would have conflicted.
>>722510085I'm forgiving ZZZ for everything just because it has a weekly endgame rotation. This is all I ever wanted in the other gacha.
I haven't touched trust events in months
>>722509830game really has so much style unlike all the other gacha in the market, but everything else about it sucks now because they listened to third worldersi still think it's not too latejust delete china slop, delete the china slop characters, redesign the remaining characters to match the launch version's theme and aestheticsfix the story, go back to light "illegal proxy guides agents into hollows to earn money" stuff instead of cringe mc wank shitthen address the gameplay issuesmake it fun, make the grind less boring, maybe implement coop modes for that so people don't get bored farming the same shitty mats every dayand do something about the bangboos, use them in some other gameplay mode, maybe create a boo kart racing game instead of the shitty arcade games that most people ignore anywaysit just needs fun gameplay and good character designs like the original vision of the project
>>722509895yeah a fanfiction will be a truly devastating argument
>>722506337It feels awful to actually spend real money in gacha though. If I can just macro together all of my dailies I'll get like 80% of the fun that comes from pulling and also keep my own money for real shit like food.
>>722510057What are you talking about, /vmg/ dramajeets love the cancer that's killing ZZZ.>the reheated AI generated Firefly recycle pitybait that was Seed is actually good because she's a "generic waifu that loves the MC", the fact that ZZZ players actually wanted a big robot nigga and didn't pay for her or wanted Obol to be a competent military squad instead of a bunch of brain damaged retards means they're faggot trannies and not REAL gacha fans (incels)They're the type of nigga who posts about "based target audience pandering" on xitter with a peruvian flag on their bio
>>722506337>having a job is a more time efficient source of primogems than your daily grindI do my 5 minutes of daily resin burn on my laptop at work actually. I refuse to buy anything except welkin since I'm logging in anyway.And with the encounter system nobody does dailies anymore, you get them for free by burning resin for artifacts, which you can't skip by paying.
>>722499017Right now wuthering waves is doing more to push storytelling and presentation in a gachashit. And don't kneejerk because i mentioned wuwa in a positive light. It has its own problems, and they aren't able to maintain a consistent level of presentation quality in every main quest, but they're doing it better than anyone else currently. Ananta looks like it's trying to be a genshin tier step up for the genre. There's also duet night abyss but I don't even know if it should be included in gacha discussions anymore since they dropped gacha entirely. At the very least, both it and ananta are gacha devs looking at alternative monetization.
>>722496041ZZZ was the only Hoyo and only GACHA game ive ever touched. Was drawn in by the exceptional style and designs of the chracters and combat. The game is extremely fun. Genshin is probably fun too till you hit some sort of end-game. I wouldnt know.However thanks to Season 2 ive come to quickly realize I am NOT Asian enough to like this garbage. It astounds me how quickly they backtracked to just fucking awful generic storytelling and terribly safe/boring designs. Then when trying to do something potentially intersting (like SEED being advertised as a giant robot) they cant fucking help themselves by pulling the rug out and turning it into some fucking fetish bait dogshit whore.They had a SINGLE Season of creativity and now are just floundering in the wind with flop after flop. "Oh wowzers! I cant wait for Zenyatta to be added to ZZZ! Lucia is such a unique and interesting design! Yea dude everyone LOVES Mockingbird! Best Faction!"
>>722510489i love how those jeets on /vmg/ deflect the game flopping on the imaginary furry, robot and bara homo bannersbtw, one of the shitposters there is aetherpag, who is also firepag/pagfly (which is why he loves seed the most and hates that she flopped, so he now spams /zzz/ with copy-pasted replies)
>>722508756It never had a chance BECAUSE it's gacha, but a good mix of top down Roguelike content, isometric dungeon crawling, and the Slay the Spire mode they implemented later on would make for three really strong arcade modes that would be fun to play online.Give us an annual paid expansion that adds new content instead of the gacha model and it could have been incredible.
The more I play Genshin the deader it feelsI just never have any reasons to go back to older regions, the map keeps getting bigger and the number of dead zones as well. Sometimes there is a dogshit event happening in Inazuma or some other region but it's very small and you just mash through shit dialogues in a single placeWish they put more effort into revitalizing old places such as adding new, hidden local legends every months with some furniture or cosmetics or secret areas to unlock for the sake of it
>>722508818>You can't name a game with a better story.Most games, which is saying a lot. Even churned out gutter RPGs like Tales of Legendia have better writing. The only good storytelling I ever saw in a gacha was Nier, and that's because it was a series of short stories with a planned ending.
I gotta say I'm pretty satisfied with my luck in HSR>started playing for Saber (who ate all my fucking tickets)>then I got Firefly>then I got Kafka>then I got HertaI'm up to the middle(?) of Amphoreus and other than maybe Aglaea I've got all the chicks that made an impression on me
No, maybe the normal games are so sloppy that now hoyo games looks like masterpieces
>>722510670Even by 1.5 they were floundering. They stopped updating one of the core game modes to focus on shit mini games, started wandering further away from the core cast, and refused to actually make the repeated content better.Whole game's combat design falls apart once you realize there's only ever one right answer for your character and the game hates you getting creative.
>>722510789I played Genshin by ignoring the story entirely and just exploring as much of the map as I could without engaging in combat.It was a really fun ten hours. And the second I tried to engage with the writing and combat systems, I was turned off so hard I uninstalled.
I really hope heartopia releases at about the same time as petit planetI have zero interest in playing another hoyo game, but I'd be tempted if there's no other comfy lifesim to play while I wait for a new ac game
>>722510672>one of the shitposters there is aetherpagCan't a volcano in Indonesia do the needful already?
Oh boy I love threads where people that like the game praise and people that hate the game criticize it in a subjective manner. I'm sure spending a few hours arguing will surely change the other posters mind.idk about other gachas but since genshin became so big and made a gazillion dollars then it must've done something good>no it's just predatory gamb-irrelevant copiumjust post hot girls already
I take breaks from Genshin. Skipped all of Natlan for example. Those other games look awful.
>>722510663wuwa has been doing a lot right since 2.0, it's hilarious how much everything in Rinascita mogs the old stufflooking forward to the "finale" and I hope they can keep up the momentum
>>722511028This post confirms my bias so I will agree with it.I tried genshin for about a week. I liked the environment but found everything else incredibly bland and boring.
>>722510663>>722511289No, Wuwa sucks ass and anyone defending it clearly hasn't played any of the other better gacha games.The whole game is bait and you should feel bad if you fell for it.
>>722511214>NOOOOOOO STOP TALKING ABOUT VIDEO GAMESIf you don't want to engage in, or be witness to, discussion, you can just find another thread, lil bwo.
>>722511525>>722511493heh
>>722511214>just post hot girls alreadyI'll post a cute girl (machine) instead.
>>722511493>clearly hasn't played any of the other better gacha games.Like what? If it has visual novel cutscenes, don't bother.
>>722496041I only ever played Genshin but i quit when the lightning islands came out. The exploration was very unfun there and the story was getting boring. I will play their Animal Crossing game but i wont touch their other slop.
>>722511635Well you're in a mhy thread so I'm sure you can logic together the appropriate answer.
>>722511525you're not talking about video games, you're talking about your opinion on themhere's a real video game post, i just cleared lunar imaginarium and want some attention
My hoyo experience>Honkai 3rdlmao this is a mess but it's funny. The novelty wears off too fast, deleted.>GenshinThe Chinese pond/mountains and the big desert are really fun to explore. Rest of the game is horrible. Deleted after getting around most of the funny towers I could get to without dealing with the rest.>StarrailGameplay is so boring that I moped out immediately. Watched some story online, it's just kinda mediocre, not worth the time. Better writing then the last two at least.>ZZZBase game through Miyabi expansion was actually pretty fun? Some of the content sucked, but easily the best writing so far. Gameplay was fun but can't last as long as the game wants it to. The rabbit dungeon crawler side mode was pretty cool, and they abandoned it. Liked the twins' little story. You could feel the writers fighting their bosses at times (Wow, Miyabi had a nervous breakdown but somehow didn't hit a single innocent!) when it came to writing. Gave up when 2.0 landed - the gacha characters were mostly boring already, and now they're even more generic.
>>722511493I played all the big gacha and that's why I stuck with Wuwa. It's just better and it's nice playing a gacha that feels like a PC game too, puts my gamer rig to use.
>>722511610i wonder if Aino made her able to become pregnant. Who am I kidding, she probably doesn't even know what that means.

>>722499091bro that's just fontaine soundtrack but with folk instruments. Which doesn't make it bad but if you think this is outstanding you weren't listening to the music in previous expansions
>>722512570Alright but what does that mean for the game? Like, is genshin going to have some kind of game maker now?>>722512632If the game is topping charts, and you're content with the quality of it, that's fine. Enjoy being contented.
I am not bored of Genshin, but I did drop SR and I might drop ZZZ soon.
>>722513187not sure either but it's probably gonna be a separate thing that won't need genshin to runthey're promoting it along with genshin because it will use a lot of assets from it
>>722496313How do you manage thatThe "not china" is always like the second or first place you go toZzz is the game that took the longest to get there
>>722512867no fucking way lmao
>>722509116Didnt they say they had no character gacha?They still could lock movesets behind gacha like that.
>>722513187>Like, is genshin going to have some kind of game maker now?Yes, and it includes genuinely impressive scripting options, it's basically an entire game engine with Genshin's environmental assets and props included.>>722513404>but it's probably gonna be a separate thing that won't need genshin to runI'm quite sure you need the full Genshin install, they cross over a lot, leaks say you can use the Miliastra character in the Genshin overworld as well.
>>722513814I think they said their monetization is gonna be purely cosmetic stuff.
>arriving at the xianzhou luofu
my zzz monthly expire tomorrowdesu I think I might just drop it
>>722496041Nothing better came out yet. Hopefully Where Winds Meet will replace Genshin for me. I like timesink games, they're comfy with a podcast on
>>722512551>Genshin: Paimon>ZZZ: Your sister/brother>HSR: Pom-PomThe winner is clear.
>>722514010I remember when I read the lore bit that actually SIX MORE CHINK SHIPS exist in the universe.Just giving excuses for annual chinkshit for the next decade.
>>722513960>slop company giga confirmed
How much do you care about the endgame in Mihoyo style games?I started caring less once I realized that in order to beat the highest difficulty content you need to pull meta units (costing upward of 180 pulls) just to get like 2 or 3 pulls for finishing said content.
>>722513404>>722513884sounds interesting. if it's as you say, I'm surprised I don't see people making a bigger deal about it. guess people have to start making stuff with it first.
>>722512867Waves... withered
>>722514057what's the point of a monthly when you only need like 6 characters to beat everything in the game
>>722514159don't give them any ideas kek
>>722514243You need nine if you want to do deadly assault
>>722514187These games tend to have cheevos and rewards for clearing endgame content once, I try to grab those, then I'm done. Keeping up with the meta is never worth it but trying to worm your way into meta once to claim all the cheevos is fun
>>722514381if you need 3 fully S rank limited teams for deadass, you're a bad player
>>722514494Opinion brought to you by the "well yes I rolled for C1 and a signature weapon, it was a bargain, but I'm basically F2P, here's a youtube video of some other guy clearing it with 4 stars" gang
>>722514217>guess people have to start making stuff with it first.It'll release with Mihoyo made modes for sure. One of the trailers showed a fucking 3D MOBA, with creeps and towers and shit. I've been nolifing Deadlock recently, I can't imagine going mid and molesting phone teens in Defense of the Archons
>>722514494I don't even bother with it, just pointing out that you need nine not six.
>>722514187I do actually like difficult fights in JRPGs and team building, so I do enjoy the endgame in HSR, since the devs stopped making main story content challenging in any way.Like fuck, seeing city get invaded and all of the invading monster just staring at corners so that they wouldn't aggro on players was stupid as hell. I actually liked it when some standard fights hit hard as hell, and I had to manage my skill usage not to die.
>>722514652>Mihoyo made modesAren't people already making shit in the beta? They'll probably just ship with that
>>722514652BillyGODS run this shit.
>>722514187It's the most important thing for me because it's the only content that allow you to regularly engage with the gameplaythe quests and story are dogshit so I don't look forward to them at all
I have yet to see a genshin related thread where the majority of anons don't;t talk like paid shills
>>722514608never rolled for copies but i did get the sig if it seemed goodit's enough to clear DA with 2 limited S ranks at most per team
>>722514653Not really. You can get full Polychrome rewards from just getting 6 out of 9 stars in Deadly Assault, which can be done with just two teams. Or you can get 2-stars with three teams, and you most definitely don't need giga-invested latest characters for that.Yes, your characters need to be well built, but that just takes time.
>>722515296>2 limited S ranksYeah because the weapon is another S rank
>>722515229You're shilling Persona right now.
>>722516223cool samefag bro
>>722516615I've never played a Persona game in my life. Expedition 33, the Game of the Year, was better than the Persona franchise.
>>722516223According to anon, there is absolutely no difference between this >>722499898And using a reaction image unrelated to your post
I hate that Wuwa is suffering from a massive content drought
>>722516991just a few more days bro
>>722516223If someone didn't already know that was Rise, then how would they know it is a Persona shill?
>>722516953trying too hard now
>>722507893People who call genshin or genshin derivatives "greedy" never played older gachas. I do not miss having to save 5 months for a guaranteed spark in GBF.
>>722509546the jank is sovlfulI like spotting new gestures whenever they add more story
>>722517463I heard old gachas became really greedy after a Persona collab too since they know they're going to EoS right after.
>>722509883huh...maybe I should reinstall
>>722517897
One thing I can't understand, if you can invest in artwork and music and make it top-notch in your gacha game, why not hire better writers too?
>>722518168Part of it is the inherent need to shill new characters that makes the writing bad.
>>722518168storytelling in china won't make sense to westernersand likewise good stories from the west don't make sense to chinesethe cultures are just too different
>>722518392Don't know about that, lord of the mysteries is chinese and read a billion times better than any chink gachashitAs far as videogames are concerned, Ai Limit had pretty decent writing too
The writing is bad because I don't have the patience to immerse myself in every story presented.
>>722516991that's just the gacha-ness. wuwa puts a lot of effort into it's main quest presentation but it's still a gacha-ass gacha. Like, you wanted more meaningful long term content? lol no. Have another browser game tier side event that will disappear at the end of the month. wuwa has the story stuff pretty down, now they should start reconsidering the actual content of updates.
>>722517806I've observed the opposite, dying gachas often become super generous in order to keep players playing. But yeah slop collabs are a bad sign too. P5 is the whoriest of all franchises, they'd collab with my mom
>>722518758I dunno, Nier's 2B gives Persona a run for its money.
>>722518168People that can write are writing for more respected mediums, not videos games, and certainly not gachas. The best you can hope for is people that understand tropes and how to use them.
It's not a hoyo thread without the obligatory wuwa shills
>>722515296how do people get such high scores in da i can barely get 2 stars
I miss Kianners,,,
>>722518168MIhoyo games has to be approved by government officials to avoid any controversial themes which is not really optimal for creating good stories.
>>722519078just use characters the current bosses were made to shillthe pic below is old, when it used to be easier though
>>722518940genshin is the gacha everyone knows and wuwa is the gacha that's pushing quality hardest currently. Their being mentioned in the same sentence is inevitable.
>>722519078He just told you, you roll for meta S ranks and their engines.Then you don't have to care about any of the mechanics and just do your rotations to shit out damage.
>>722496313Genshin handles its chinkwank the best. They have a yearly Lantern Rite around the same time CN New Year happens. There's always a new character, a story, sometimes even a region, and then the next patch is back to someplace else. I wish HSR did it too instead of dragging us by force into Luofu whenever they run out of ideas.
>>7225190782 mindscapes per character + wenginePay up gweilo.
>>722519078
>>722519204but i dont have any of them
>>722519602>Genshin handles its chinkwank the bestyou are fucking delusional and need to stop slurping dawei's semen dailyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZwFdXdhSyMsame shit happens in all nuhoyo gameshi3 was the least offensive because fuhua was such a good character, something that their normie games do not have
>genshit story sucks!!meanwhile I'm literally playing the game for the story
>>722496041not anymore. I played hsr and zzz, but both have such trash story and events. Animations are great, and combat is ok, but both games just lack that something for me
>>722520014>posts sovl>i'm supposed to hate this
>>722520106Life must be so enjoyable with standards this low.
>>722519738
>>722520195I've read LotR three times and finished Umineko a few years ago, so mucho texto doesn't frighten me. Genshin objectively has interesting world building, and it's fun finding new clues by exploring and theorycrafting. If it's not your cup of tea then that's fine too.
>>722520195Life must be so miserable with butthurt so high
>>722520195VIDEO GAMES
>>722520532The world building is trash because for 10 ideas it introduces it uses one and trashes 9 othersThe game is also quite literally 99% telling 1% showing, it's the textbook example of terrible storytellingUmineko, despite how heavily flawed it is, at least does that part right because every lore element, as convoluted as the story can get, end up being tackled one way or another. Because it has vision, Ryukishi knew what he was going for (at least until BT died), gacha don't have any vision. Writers just throw shit at the wall and see what still stick years down the line, it has nothing engaging to offer, it doesn't spark your curiosity as you know every story element will never take precedence over the constant character shifting that has to align with the rate-up banners, the patch structure, the current gaming trends and so many other factorsI still remember gritting my teeth through Genshin's quests thinking I could read literally anything else and witness an infinitely better and soulful story. Should've caught up with Rance starting from 01 to VI instead of suffering through this natlan shitshow.And don't get me started on the dialogues.
>>722520532>Genshin objectively has interesting world building, and it's fun finding new clues by exploring and theorycraftingI'm playing for the same reason, also the exploration is fun because all the areas look nice and distinct from each other.
>>722521227>for 10 ideas it introduces it uses one and trashes 9 otherselaborate>The game is also quite literally 99% telling 1% showing, it's the textbook example of terrible storytellingA lot of the stuff they only "tell" is the kind that will get the game's age rating raised. Like just in 6.0 there were notes about some lovecraftian goat that got eaten, and then the guys who ate it died horrible deaths.No shit a gory horror VN can show that shit unlike a fucking family friendly game.
I really want to give ZZZ a try, but after juggling Genshin and HSR at the same time, I’ve realized I just can’t handle more than two gacha games. I actually quit HSR right before 3.0 update. The powercreep and restrictive team-building just killed my motivation. Currently, Genshin is only hoyo game I still play.
>>722521683I keep eyeing ZZZ because I finally have space for more games, but all the recent characters look lame and samey.
Nasha Town is ugly as fuck
>>722521902>all the recent characters look lame and samey.Makes it easier to pull for reruns.
>>722521902Obol looks great
>>722521931I think it's comfy.
>>722521683>>722521902should've jumped on during the anniversaryalso zzz is waaaay less time consuming than genshin
>>722496041I wish i had a stinky hoyogooner gf.
>>722522153I don't mind a game being time consumingHSR is doghit and takes the least amount of time, I only play it because of a few units I'm planning to roll
>>722496041Never played this chinkslop. Hot girls though.
>>722521931Bit ugly yeah, at least it isnt as clostrophobic like Fontain and Natlan's hubs were.
>>722522542Fontaine city was so annoying. Really hard to climb anywhere. Though natlan units probably changed that.
>>722521615NTA but a lot of games that are family friendly on the surface actually show some dark stuff like Dragon Quest V or Earthbound, DQ V has on-screen child abuse
>>722522873No it doesn't nigger.
>>722522873Japan's age ratings were historically pretty lenient. Didn't Earthbound have a really fucked up boss battle that was based on the dev's personal trauma? I remember reading that when giygas memes where everywhere.
>>722523254Madason was a literal child slave
>>722523536Slavery is just slavery.
>>722522873you don't need to look that far back, honkai 3rd and genshin are both 13+ on the app store yet honkai shows a lot more stuff than genshinbut that's because honkai is (or rather, was until APHO) the passion project
>>722496278i want to be her
What does Mihoyo have against male characters?Both Flins and Kinich have terrible gameplay.
>>722524368don't carestill rolling for Varka
>>722524502>intentionally rolling for standard banner characterslol
>>722524368flins feels fine thoughI never rolled raiden so finally using a burst dps is fun
I don't. They're kind of a garbage company that only managed to get successful by striking the open-world mobile market first. Genshin was fun for the first year but quickly devolved into a slog after the Inazuma arc.
>>722522153Not playing the games is even MORE timesaving.
>>722520014>posts Miss Yun Jin>I'm supposed to hate itFuck you, I still use her in theatre. She actually got a Wikipedia page out of this too.

melusines have come back to genshin and so have I
>>722527505Nod Krai gave one of the first follow ups to a world quests, from Fontaine (Questioning Melusine and Answering Machine)We got Sidone and CurveThey're starting with the Fontaine connections for the Sandrone story.
>>722520532if you really care about genshit lore then you should play hi3 because the mihoyo multiverse (including genshit) is based on its core principles

>>722530625that's normal
>>722508407It's really bad when I can suffer through 1 million hahas in kiseki but I can't stand reading 1 bloated line in genshin. I actually have gotten into books and read some 900+ page ones so don't start with the zoomers can't read crap, am millennial anyways.
I love Banyue and I believe he must have more porn than Flora has. Therefore ZZZ is saved.

>>722531425we visiting the mandatory not-china region, it'll be over next year don't worry
Genshin launching with half Europe half China was the best decision ever.Its a Chinese game, so its not like it was avoidable all together, but at least we didnt have a full solo year of China wank.
>>722531632Liyue is inoffensive enough and got really good additions later (Chenyu and Chasm)Somehow all of HSR, ZZZ and wuwa chinklands have been agonizing nightmares
>>722531390Have you seen how hot he is?
Remember when we used to have comissions full of SOVL?
>>722531827ZZZ gave us Ju Fufu and now Dailyn, so it is good.
>>722531921Not reallySeriously i don't remember that commissionAlso you better have a phone controller or else i'm going to bully for playing touchscreen. Playing on mobile is already bad enough.
>been playing genshin every day since week 1>stopped playing zzz after they removed the tvsthe endless corridors of mook fighting got tiresome every day when that's all there is
I hope Waterkuma found a better home.
>>722532162You're probably a filthy speed reader but TL;DR It was a commission were you had to rescue a bunch of soldiers from a hollow. The ending changed depending if you saved everyone or not

i only play 1 gacha and i doubt i'll ever pick another one as i'm not a neet.modding reignited my desire to play and i went started going back to get 100% in every zone, starting from mondstandt.in fontaine i needed to do about 5 hours of world quests to get the last hydroculus and it reminded me why i stopped exploring. now i'm doing liyue expansion.
>>722533220sadly she was not voiced
>>722499091The music and the cute boys are the only good things that Genshin still does better than other gacha. The graphics and gameplay feel outdated when compared to "next-gen" gacha, and the lore has always been a mess.
>>722533291eh, it's coolshe gave us a some neat lore and I was glad to see her show up in Nasha town again
>>722530575>quest has a cute npc>don't skip a single line of dialogueit's that simple, hoyoniggers
>>722533268>in fontaine i needed to do about 5 hours of world quests to get the last hydroculusThat one was a motherfucker that killed my Fontaine exploration. Im just now starting to pick it back up.
>HI3Played since 2018, dropped it in 2021 when it's clear my wife was getting left behind. I made the right decision.>GenshinDropped it during Ganyu's patch. Spent a month farming for a pyro goblet for Diluc, got nothing. Spent a while simply login in to get maintenance freebies and returner gems. Uninstalled completely in 2023 when it was clear that the newer character designs wouldn't interest me at all>StarrailGot to when you unlocking the gacha, dropped, because I abhor cutscene shit with stiff gameplay>ZZZDropped after the 2nd story mission. HI3, but attached to a boring world I have to walk around is a dog shit combination. Shame too, aesthetics were cool. Probably would've liked the game if it had actual levels instead of stale arenas
>>722497459ZZZ is still king btw
>>722534368i was also locked by wrio character quest and focused mode was not available, so i had to do that on top of everything. sucks because i did remuria beforehand and it was smooth exploration for 90% of the time. i fear the same quest shit is gonna be in natlan since i did skip a lot there
>>722532440>Jahoda>agree with every word and happened to me verbatim Good post
>>722496041I'm not playing them indeed
'hoda thread
Genshin adding two disabled characters within a few months is interesting.
>>722498081Until it becomes predatory trash The only good thing you can do is unironically abandon all gachashit I started to play monster hunter world and my god the skill ceiling in that game is high and you don't have to drop hundreds of bucks for your weapons or armours you all farm in game or get git gudded
>>722496041Cos as much a v and reddit hate on itI still like the simple gameplay and story of genshinAlso I use mods so all girls look cute as fuckI didn't like or stick with any other hoyo game tho
>>722498256You're beyond fucking retarded Triple AAA slop is still waaaaaaaaay less expensive than gachashit
>>722535357jahoda and ?
>>722535357but Paimon has been in the game since launch...
>>722510663>Wuthering shit Stfu nigger, stop glazing that piece of shit
Pre 1.3 ZZZ was special, but the idiot developers tore the veil off. It's just so cynical, you can see the decisions of the suits and the internal targets behind everything they do now.I can't find info on the producer of the game but he deserves crucifixion.
>>722535442kek we get monster hunter cucks in here now
>>722535538Skirk
>>722535647Better than your nigger gachashit will ever be
>nothing to do in game>check co-op menu>half of players have russian hieroglyphs in bio>the other half seem to be women or fags
>>722535883Must be your regionI only get muricans and latinos
>>722535883The majority of EU is Russian girls, what did you expect? Genshin is most likely the most equally gender split game in recent memory.Also, female accounts with male character showcases are the friendliest and will let you gather items or co-op. I've never seen a "waifu collector" accept my co-op requests or let me farm in their world, they're little catty cunts.
>>722499912That's because you need your brain to focus on kiseki to justify the sunk cost of investing in such a mid franchise.Unisuga is never coming back.
I accidentally spent 40 pulls on the wrong banner

>>722511826anyone can do this though? Now clear Stygian Dire
>>722536764Dire is for whales. Fearless is the f2p benchmark and the new IT is probably harder than that.
Normally I don't gachashit a chance, but today I'm in the mood for listening to gachafags if you shill your game THROUGH THE OST.
>>722536569retard shogun"genius of war" kokomidragonwank manLORD kazuhaCEO of GEOsumeru gay worm couplesky deniermost of natlan and nod krai are decent, I'll give you thatI won't talk shit about mond characters either, they are the closest to "family" of all the regions
>>722502013gay haha...
>>722536963https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CXRvbAbxi0
>>722536928New IT is like menacing tier at best, Abyss Floor 12 tier.Dire is the benchmark for f2p getting -good-, you can easily find C0 clears, fearless is for sleepwalking.
>>722536963lay your ears upon this, my niggahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4UabWhrlx4

>>722536128get your own berries fatui scum
I like the combat in zzz and been playing since releaseTried to get into hsr once but it's an autobattle with no skill expression so I got bored
>>722536963Genshin enjoyer here.Honestly it's futile to find recommended songs since the OST as a whole is so good and it's FUCKING MASSIVE. It's actually insane.>There are over 1,500 released tracks in the official Genshin Impact soundtrack, with the official wiki listing 1,504 tracks as of late 2024, though this number is constantly growing with new updates. This figure includes music from the main game, regional soundtracks, character themes, and other official releases produced by HOYO-MiX.
>>722537126ormos is so overplayedfor me it's vestige of dahriidk why i find it so emotional, especially after 1:02https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E84beUHlIYw
>>722537272That's faeLORD to you, goat.
>>722537198I didn't really like this song in-game but seeing that cool vampire looking guy surrounded by cute aryans has made me appreciate it a lot more and now I love it.
>>722536963https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMoyTZi48_olove violins and strings
>>722537354blasting some hype songs on spotify and going ham in tower is probably the most fun you can have in zzz
>>722499636>You are saying you basically quit both games at their peak
Since it's a genshin OST circlejerk might as wellhttps://youtu.be/hfrF38SeiME
>>722537110I easily did fearless this time around and while IT was also pretty easy I could feel that some people would get cucked hard by the DPS checks in the common enemy chambers.Dire is possible f2p but only if you don't like saving your gems and blow them on constellations and weapons which is kinda retarded. And since you just get an ugly skin it's pointless. Thus, it's for whales only. Because contrary to your belief you do need to vertically invest for it quite a bit.
>>7225356351.2 you mean
>>722535883So play with the women and hit on them?
>>722537653...pre 1.3 means 1.2 and earlier, anon.

>>722537739that shit was so out of nowhere
>>722537508>surrounded by cute aryansMister Rakshit, it's not normal to refer to white people as "Aryans", only Indians do that to insinuate that they're "high caste" and thus closer to Europeans in their demented worldview.

favorite version of Dream Aria is one that only appears in the TCG trailerhttps://youtu.be/JUSZOjmD_1U?t=54
>>722537643It's VERY possible to do Dire C0, the whale difficulty is Dire 180s. Effectively requiring twice the damage is the crazy part.Can see all the f2ps running weapon skins, but can still have the whales pay for the servers for a small cosmetic difference.
>>722535883>Can't permanantly block every faggot with pronouns listed because the blocklist is too small

>>722538183considering how poorly the american biker faction from zzz sold in china, yes
>>722538183the closest thing that came to mind was the chiyo-chan manga where chiyo-chan was a huge westaboo gamer
>>722538158You're lying to yourself.
I wasn't expecting to have most replies come from Genshin. The OP alone lists 9 different games and the thread has lots of discussion about competitors.>>722537082Nice piano music. I would put it in the background while doing something else, although it would be hard to explain to others that it comes from a mobile game about dating men.>>722537198Is mihoyo the only gacha company that organizes concerts for their games or are there others?
>>722538315>Is mihoyo the only gacha company that organizes concerts for their games or are there others?nta and I'm not sure but I wonder if other gacha companies release all the CDs for free too
>>722538315mihoyo made A LOT of money with genshin during covid

>>722538315Stuff like Elden Ring and Undertale had concerts but I don't know about gacha.
>>722538276the biker faction was the most soul that game hadthings went downhill rapidly since 1.2
>>722538487genshin had a world tour
>>722538487still regretting not buying those nier automata concert tickets even if they were $200 each
>>722538514>turned gigachad pompey into a bossdid they ever follow up on the guy that poisoned him

>>722538315>Is mihoyo the only gacha company that organizes concerts for their games or are there others?no, some other popular ones do too
>>722537405>There are over 1,500 released tracks in the official Genshin Impact soundtrackThose are only the released ones. There's a ton of unreleased music tracks and sort stings that play in quests or scripted parts, or for ambiencehttps://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Unnamed_Bishui_Plain_Soundtrack_1Everyone has heard that for example but it's not a released track, just ambience.
>>722538686wolf guy will be playable in this version, at some pointhe appeared in the trailer with the rest of the playable characters

>>722538778>Everyone has heard that for example but it's not a released track, just ambience.Damn that's crazy. Is there a website or something that tracks all this stuff so I can download it conveniently?
>>722538807>release him way later than they should have based on story relevance >actually they'll shill him in his release patch and be a part of the story again>actually leakers said he's an A rank howeveris the ZZZ team smoking crack
>>722538820my little chef can't be this cute
>>722538923still mad
>>722538909you don't need leakers to realize he was always an A rank
>>722538923and yet Chiori is the one with Kirino's VA
>>722536963https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvd0WwZlsys
>>722538887>Is there a website or something that tracks all this stuff so I can download it conveniently?It's all on that wiki page I linked, just click Unreleased Soundtracks and there's a list. Although there isn't much reason to download them other than presentation, they're just alternates/leitmotifs from complete tracks.For me, it's the solo violin main theme.https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Unnamed_Mondstadt_Soundtrack_5
>>722539135I regret rolling for Chiori.>Albedo gets buff>top bitchy geo hebe slot goes to Sandrone >is powercrept and borderline useless without c1
>>722538807Manato is not even remotely related to soi wolf, retardbro
>>722539203Was looking for something more convenient but I guess this'll do. Thanks.Weird that this song also doesn't have a name, we've all heard it a trillion times for sure.
>>722535598I told you not to kneejerk, niggy.
>>722539280wasn't talking about manato, but the guy you posted
>>722539250I'll never regret my day 1 Chiori because she reminds me of my girlfriend.Isn't the Albedo "buff" just getting Durin to work? You can use Mona for that.
>>722539372You can but Albedo is still meta relevant now while Chiori got mogged. Speaking of Mona though I keep getting reminded of this one guy arguing she wasn't good earlier this year. Mona never really fell off in usefulness if you wanted to use her so it's cool to see her get a huge buff like this.
>>722539591mona sucks, in more ways than one
>>722539591>Albedo is still meta relevant now while Chiori got moggedI love Albedo but he literally does nothing. Nothing except a genuine kit rework could make him functional, he has 1.X kit disease.>>722539717She's really useful in theatre for her taunt and burst clearing some waves before the timer.
>genshincouldnt stand it after a few years, every new character is so horrendously boring with uninspired kits, they shot themselves in the foot with the elemental reaction system on release and never recovered. nod krai being advertised to fix the story as a feature is cool and it's great to finally see the lore/characters being fully integrated into the story in an interesting way. world stopped being fun to explore after people complained about the puzzles being too hard, now everything is baby-tier >hsrbasically a visual novel at this point, actual gameplay outside of the end game modes is utterly non-existent and the puzzles are babies first jrpg tier. the lore/story in my opinion is utterly fantastic and the level of spectacle involved with the combat is enough to keep me involved, and due to the nature of it being turn based it has the most depth in terms of team composition & stat tuning >zzzcool animations when they pop up, most stuff to do as far as end game is concerned, i think it has some of better designed events in the series, but the game has easily the most repetitive gameplay loop of all 3, the story is UTTER garbage, and it is hilariously easy despite being advertised as their most skill based game. lost interest entirely when they decided to turn the MCs into superheros with sekrit special powers and take us to not-china
>>722539370He wasn't shown in any trailer he's a one-off npc just like the meme monkey
>>722537775i just wish they would let us fight with less than 4 characters
>>722539919That would certainly simplify things.
>>722539890
>>722539919lol no, if they let you do this then you won't have to pull 32 characters, now go back to pulling gweilo
>>722536963>people only posting mihoyo garbagezzz is the only hoyo game that has like 2 good ost tracks (besides hi3 cinematics which are not ost), everything else is pure garbagegacha babies really need to play things outside their shitty echo chamberhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2DBeby7ni8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q09ZkGJNDs4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5M4Fo0eUg8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH_lxnFRiFg
>>722539919that would negate the whole point of vigor
>>722539994That's Manato retardbro
>>722499091https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzRwOOmxhnM and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfD-zFe26CU are the only songs i remember from genshin
>>722539812He does decent AOE damage, boosts EM for your team, and gives you shields.
>>722540129That first one is etched in my mind since I kept alt tabbing to shitpost while it was playing since the quest was so boring.
>>722496041Hsr died after the fate collab floppedGenshin has been dying for several years since wormeru and Nod krai flopped Zzz is still pumping out ai generated filler characters and no one gives a shitHonkai turd is so dead the Yuri troons dont even bother shilling it on /v/ anymore What went wrong hoyoshills?
>>722540117well at least there won't be another furry gay bait in the game then
>>722540367>he doesn't know
so, how much EM are we looking for Flins? He gets a fucktone from Ineffa + Aino + Sucrose so I think is better to focus on ATK%.
>>722511493I've played every single hoyo game for over 1 year and have played WuWa since the first anniversary after being uninterested during its first year. Gameplay and exploration wise it blows Genshin out of the water. The only thing Genshin has over it is art/world design. My main gripe with WuWa at the moment is that it has far more mechanical depth in its combat, but all the new characters are heavily leaning into the genshin thing where main dps has a dedicated support that releases at the same time and if you don't get them both it's a major dps loss and their kit is non-functional at worst or clunky at best.
>>722540638>exploration wiseI don't get this since it's basically linear with interconnected paths, not really open world.
>>722513425>start genshin>go to not chinawow this is a novelty haha neat never played a game with such chinese influence before !!>start star rail>go to not china alright not sure what cultivationism has to do with space, but the xianzhou is cool i guess >start zzz >go to not chinaalright im fucking sick of this shit now
>>722540092that's really well made
>>722540790ZZZ could have worked if they stuck to a modern depiction of Hong Kong, not go in a fucking temple to make amulets and do cultivation shit
>>722514187If you aren't trying to minmax your characters for end game I genuinely have no idea what you even play these games for. You will see people who have c6'd a character and they have UTTERLY dogshit artifacts and haven't cleared anything. For what?
>and exploration wise
>>722539851>they shot themselves in the foot with the elemental reaction system on releaseThis is an insane take to me.The reactions are the most interesting thing I have seen combat wise from a gacha.
I think I feel more confident with starting IT, I spent all day leveling artifacts, the 4th substat reveal actually made me realize I had good artifacts for my Mualani and Varesa I had never leveled, they're good now. Built Ororon and Dori, thank god Scroll is an easy set. Believe it or not I need EOSF pieces in 2025Still nothing for Flins and Lauma though.
>>722514187>I realized that in order to beat the highest difficulty content you need to pull meta units (costing upward of 180 pulls) just to get like 2 or 3 pulls for finishing said content.the only content that needs meta units is the final SO difficulty and that gives zero primos
>>722540762I definitely don't like how you can see all the exploration area shit on the map in Wuwa in the new regions. Exploration doesn't feel as organic as it did in the 1.0 regions, but it sure as shit is a lot quicker and less tedious than genshin. Have fucking fun exploring Genshin without a character that can fly around.
>>722541108I never really farmed EOSF either. I occasionally dump artifacts into the strongbox for it since I might need a burster character someday but I haven't yet.
>>722496041I thought hoyo was vtubers? I'm confused.
>>722541458I need them for Beidou and Sara
>>7225411084th stat reveal was an incredible qol and I cleared hundreds of artifacts out that I was holding on to eventually fish for a cr/cd as a 4th stat
>>722514709The fights were harder at the start because you hadn't outscaled the world level by a hilarious degree at that point. If you're at the highest world level, have been playing the game for a while, and can clear the end game effortlessly, then yeah the story mode shit won't be hard what so ever. They need to add a new world level you can toggle on and off that doesn't effect drops but tunes the story to MOC level difficulty. I do think it's funny though that their solution to people complaining about how longwinded the quests were was to obstensibly remove random npc fodder fights and make the actual exploration/zones mostly linear/optional during the story, giving you the opportunity to come back later. Then they made the latest story patch take LITERALLY 6 hours of almost totally uninterrupted exposition.
>>722540046BA (specially the end) > AK > Nikke > PGRBut tbdesu all of them are generic trance music that become repetitive really fast.
>>722541778I see the point if he likes the genre but blanket calling them better than the rest is dumb.
>>722540046>Said this then proceed to post trashes
>>722541778ba, ak and nikke tend to diversify ost genres a lot
>>722542010>trashesRussianbro, it's late, go to bed.
>>722541091it was cool for the first year or two, but the limitations it creates as far as interesting team dynamics and character kits started to show cracks as early as inazuma. dendro added some MUCH needed variety to the system at that point. nod krai's release is as far away to dendro is now compared to its release after the start of the game but we dont have anything new or meaningful. look at the new characters released, theyre literally all auto attack bots with dedicated supports that go on field for two seconds before disappearing. skirk's cooking girl support is the most egregious example of this in a while
>>722542208>skirk's cooking girl support is the most egregious example of this in a whileShe's not as locked down as you think. Technically Ganyu is now a top tier DPS because of Escoffier.
you know the wutard is here because he writes walls of text that he read somewhere else
>>722542292i never rolled for ganyu because aimed shot "gameplay" is the worst thing in the game
>>722542208>but we dont have anything new or meaningful. look at the new characters released, theyre literally all auto attack botswhat in the fuck are you talking about
>>722542292>Technically Ganyu is now a top tier DPS because of Escoffier.lol

>>722543024biggest glow up character in terms of gameplay is hu tao because she weaves plunges into her charge attack gameplay now.........................
>>722543442>troon taorope
>>722543304this is why natlan was a step in the right direction, but retards will complain because "muh ugly aesthetic", "muh terrain", "muh character switch"
>>722542662he's a retard
>>722543929>ANOTHER auto attack character >WOWEE ZOWEE
>>722544031from the guy who thinks elemental reactions are badyes, a retard
WUWAJEET WE NEED YOU TO DERAIL THIS THREAD PLEASE
>>722544106i didnt say they were bad, i said it was a very limiting system and mihoyo being utterly creatively bankrupt with their new characters is proof of that you cant just make a character with a cool kit that does something, it has to be integrated into this incredibly restrictive set of rules where in some reactions are just inherently far better than others. why do you think it took 4 years until mauvika to get a melt character that was good?
>>722496041I like Genshin, but never got into the other games. Tried ZZZ, but didn't enjoy it.
>>722544268>why do you think it took 4 years until mauvika to get a melt character that was good?dev incompetencysame reason why Ganyu was the only singular good design in entire genshit until fucking Natlan
>>722544268>elemental system is restrictive>skirk is auto attack character>flins is auto attack character>mauv is first good melt characteryou are clearly a wutard regurgitating shit you read online once
>>722544268it's pretty obvious you don't even play the game
>>722543770I liked Natlan but the characters sucked aside from the last ones that weren't from Natlan, and their exploration perks which were cool. But the gameplay was meh.
when is escoffier getting a rerun
>>722545641>he skipped
>>722545980
>>722545641You should be asking when are they releasing a proper support instead of that ugly bitch
>>722545980I just need her C1.
>>722545980I'm glad I skipped her because my Skirk can still cleared stygian without her. Also she was so amateur her bong's accent keep slipping out during SQ.
>>722547641>using engshitter dubwould've been smarter to roll her than skirk if you were just getting 1.
>>722547886Except for Inazuma dub EN > JP > KR > CN.My wife Varessa sounds more cute and tomboyish in EN than cutesy moe blob in JP
>>722503170Reminder this guy got banned for spamming his charts in /zzz/ then fled to /vmg/ and cried about it
>>722501065I left Genshin before Natlan was added, I love the setting but the gacha-ness makes the game feel like a chore. I played HSR up to the closure of Acheron's quest, again, the gacha-ness turned me down, fucking game going PLAY THE MAIN QUEST TO DO THE TIME-LIMITED STUFF was annoying. I played a bit of ZZZ, but was tired of gacha by then and dropped it right away.The area where this plays and the background music made Genshin feel like an actual game for a moment instead of gacha shit... until the song restarted instead of looping seamlessly, which killed the illusion https://youtu.be/SwocvTy51O4
>>722548092im sorry for your critically shit taste you disgusting pleb
