Is Honkai Star Rail dead?
Nope! Amphoreus is just ending, and soon we'll be in Sparkle's planet!
>>724312184>$300 weapon skinIt needs to be.
I'm dragging myself through Amphoreus, dear god make this shit stopI don't care about tribbi
>>724312184It died in February
>>724312640But consider... FREE TOP ASS!
>>724312184It's only really dead in /v/, and there are no usable places to talk about this game.
>>724313453TOPAZ SEX
>>724312184It's still going.
>>724312184At this point the only thing that could bring me back would be lots of Kafka-focused content that unlocked a bunny suit or something.
sex with all these girls
Amorpheus became cooler when it stopped focusing on the godawful Space Greece simworld bullshit and is about a fukken cool robot dude who build a huge fukken computer out in space devoted to mining Tombcoin. Also, Anaxa is there throwing wrenches in the program because Anaxa became an Artificial Intelligence the absolute chad.
how can people like shitfly, she's forced down our fucking throat
>>724318316Wow! Cool robotI also like when she's drawn fat.
I'll probably quit after Elysia releases
>>724312184to me yes, i just really don't feel like going further>>724313453already had her, i think she appeared in the first 10 pulls unlike firefly i think i had to hit pity twice
QQ!
>>724312184It sucks and amphoreus sucks and I have no idea why it still makes so much money, endgame content is just a wallet check people can cope and seethe about muh zero cycle in moc or whatever but suddenly so quiet in the new mode
I just this bored of amphoreus that I haven't logged for weeks.I'm just waiting for edostar and depending on how it is I will either drop the game or keep being a casual.Thank god I didn't spend a dime on this shit.
>>724312184>>724312621>>724318141Amphoreus killed HSR, everything was copied from honkai impact. Super computer (Mars computer), 13 heros (13 flame chasers), pink girl mem (eliysia), March having a ego double(seele), etc. the writing is lazy.>>724315078>Bunny suitHe doesn’t know…
>>724312184It's weird that for how much revenue it (allegedly) has and for how much fanart every last Amphoreus shitter gets, there is barely any discussion or presence on 4chinz outside its general.
>>724323087>keeps showing up in events as some female dev's blatant self-insert to have Boothil and Argenti be her protective bishonen boyfriends
Is this a coincidence? Or is QQ up to something?
>Constance coming after our escape from Midphoreus>Fire>Nihility>allegedly BreakDevs are so terrified of their waifu Firefly having competition that they won't let Fire be anything but support huh?
>>724325214Actually based. Living vicariously through the womanlet.>>724324718Well, I'm glad I never played Honkai Impact.
>>724325479>he doesn't know
Gachafags, do you actually play these games or just look up the art on boorus? And if you do play them, do you pay for in-game shit?I get an ick when buying games on Steam as opposed to just pirating them. Not poor, just jewish. I'm trying to understand why people whale on gacha. I have a few friends who spend a ton of money on these games despite being poor and I can't wrap my head around it.
>>724326070I'm F2P on Star Rail. I just treat it as ongoing story which regularly gets updates, and I try to be smart with pulling the characters which let me clear the endgame.
>>724326070I make it a point to extract as much enjoyment I can from games like this one without paying a single cent. It's usually as simple as avoiding end-game whale content.I also have a friend who swipes his card every few months or so which I'll probably never understand, but with the sheer amount of hours he gets from his game of choice and the fun he seems to have I would say it might be justified.
Why the FUCK is it still making so much money? We're a full year into SHIT patches with nothing but more SHIT in sight. Who's still whaling this?
>>724326070Play. It's just a simple 4-niggas in a row game with episodic updates.I don't understand people who whale either.
doll sex
>>724326595Is one of the only few gacha that dont pander to westoids, also the reason why you dont see it discused here just like stuff like honor of kings
>>724328431>dont pander to westoidsLiterally every setting so far was western, except for space china
>>724326070I usually pay 5-40 bucks on the game's launch if I enjoy the start, depending on my enjoyment and how I'm feelin at the time. Spent a little more than that in HSR since I really liked it at the start, but I haven't spent anything in 2 years now.These games are more fun when you don't autoclear everything, so I don't understand whaling either. Especially when I can autoclear almost all the endgame content now anyway
>>724324718changs are so creatively bankrupt they copypaste their own previous works.
>>724320535She doesn't even release in that outfit, but a much more generic one, it's so fucked.
Gacha generals belong on >>>/vg/Fuck you, brown subhumans
>>724312184Probably soon though that happen because it didnt trigger agp to anyone :3
>>724312184Unfortunately not yet. Everyone I personally know has dropped it though, so I feel like I'm not crazy.Just ever eroding quality on top of the most blatant power creep I've ever seen makes it so gross to play now.
>>724312184I can't believe Genshin won in the end...
>>724312184Might as well be, Amphoreus is absolute dogshit.
here's the thing: I can't tell if I love or hate Penacony. Playing through it was ass but the climax was almost worth it for me.And that's how this game is for me in a nut shell.
>>724333419I can't even imagine Amphoreus' ending making up for the entire year of boring slop we've had to suffer with.
>>724312184Thankfully. At the very least, Sparkle and Sampo are saved.
>>724333620It's pretty interesting how Penacony, which was great at the start and absolute dogshit in the middle and end is remembered fondly, but Amphoreus which was boring at the start but great at the end is hated.Aventurine and Rappa monkey patches were absolutely terrible and they were both set in Penacony
I enjoyed Amphoreus.
>>724334719Same, I think most Amphoreous arcs we've had have ranged from ok to pretty damn good.
>>724312184>>724312621>>724313453She need black breed yes yes
>>724334643>great at the endum sweaty thats like your opinion, assphoreus is still poop
>>724334536>Sparkle and Sampo are savedwhy
>>724335504Sparkle's in playable game. Sampo's just a boss in need of an ass beating.
>>724312184No, it's way too alive.premiun hat is cute as fuck
Will I be able to see if people on my friend's list have the paypig bow? Though the ones with the banner from the last spending event seem to be mainly fujos so they might not get it anyway
>>724326070depends. for shit games like blue archive and uma musume i just look at the porn to fap sometimes. for games like hsr, e7, zzz, now czn i do play too.
>>724335749I still find it funny how HSR Sparkle never got that skin, but also got kicked out of meta way faster than her HI3 version.
>>724334643You pretty much explain it yourself - Penacony at least has the beginning part and even some of the worse later ones have some moments (like the color red), Amphoreus has fucking nothing (and wasted the red setup on fucking nothing, because they clearly struggled to make players care about any of the boring unrelated trash they had to sit through).
>>724334719The story is very good but it drains you
>rake in money hand over first for ages>have literally no content>only thing you put effort into is a story which literally no one cares about because you went way fucking overboard with it>constant powercreep so bad there needs to be a new term coined for it>in a game genre that is all about using the characters you want to use, you aren't fucking allowed to use the characters you want to useI unironically love so many of the characters but it just doesn't matter. The game is irredeemable dogshit and I will never play it again.
the ones that cry powercreep are usually shitters.>i want to use my seele everywhere crowd>but i'm not willing to pull for supports. i want to keep using pela and bronya and gepard
>>724312184Honkai impact 3 wank is ANNOYING
>>724336171>HSR Sparkle never got that skinReally? I stopped trying to get into the game as soon as Penacony was revealed, but miffed about not getting Sparkle for some reason. Does that game even have skins?
>>724336415>in a game genre that is all about using the characters you want to use, you aren't fucking allowed to use the characters you want to useIt's actually a genre where you're supposed to use the character that best suits the enemies you're facing. Turn based RPG's are fancy rock-paper-scissors simulators and if you're hellbent on using scissors against rock, it's not the game's fault
>>724336415Literally this.The story has good ideas that are worth exploring but the writing and the state of the gameplay makes the entire game unbearable.>>724336613Do you even play the game? Characters are T0 in one patch and absolutely fucking obliterated in the next one, it's not even subtle. There's literally comparable mixes of characters, there's just a massive 1 team meta that always includes the newest DPS every fucking patch. Fuck outta here.
>>724336415I miss Sampo and Kafka man, it's like mihoyo hates them
>>724337063you are retarded. if that was the case i wouldn't be able to clear this easy as endgame with the herta, firefly, cast, yunli etc. i would need phainon and whatever new released.
>>724331068Most gachafags are whites/asianCope, tendiejeet.
>>724336953There's skins, yeah. But they were rarity until very recently, ZZZ is a newer game but already has more skins.>>724337109Next planet will be Elation... 5-star Sampo, surely.>>724337063NTA, but main story of the game is pretty easy, so you can beat it with almost anybody. The endgame obviously shills the most recent characters, but at least Apocalyptic Shadow has different selectable buffs, so it's still possible to use varied teams.
>>724336953It has a whole 2 skins. One for the free starter March and one paid for Firefly, and it's the saddest thing imaginable.Speaking of skins, I'm fucking mad because I just missed Thelema's skin, I didn't expect the event to be so timegated
>>724337109Girl here, waiting for 5 stars sampo
>>724337318Firefly is popular, so I understand why they gave her a skin... But man, that really didn't do much. And since she's in SAM during combat, we don't even see her school uniform.
>>724337318The idea that they make such an absurd amount of money and this is their best effort is so fucking pathetic.
>>724334643>great at the end is hated.lolIt's way too wordy to give a shit, not to mention all of the heirs are boring as fuck and basically none of this shit matters outside the very end because it's just a simulation. I've sat through the story and I genuinely don't get why people are sucking it off unless they genuinely think the well made cutscenes make up for what the story is actual doing.
>>724337502Yeah, I know she's popular, but it's so underwhelming and low effort. Here, for comparison, a paid Vita's skin, they even modeled a whole new mech for her. Meanwhile Firefly got a fucking recolor. And giving her a a schoolgirl uniform, when we could've got the plugsuit, what a disappointment.
>>724312621I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT for a japanese themed planet...
>>724314904>what if frail autistic anime girl is ironmanBravo chatgpt
>>724337301ZZZ is action oriented and significantly more flashy, so it makes sense to have more skins, but that's sad for HSR. And I thought HSR and Genshin were their money makers, so they would have thrown those fans a few more bones.>>724337318>SpoilerYour loss. I can understand why you'd put it off, but still. Now we just need "Lantern" and the dead Martian trio can have swimsuits.I'm rather pissed at Songque's swimsuit, though. What the fuck is going on there?
>>724338531ZZZ feels more like a passion project to me considering how full of... soul it is, I mean just look at how well-animated it is.
>>724334643Rappa scenario was god awful but at least it was a unique and creative idea that wasn't just lifted wholesale from Honkai 3rd. For a game that's supposed to be about a huge space exploration campaign Star Rail sure feels small and claustrophobic.
>>724334643>dogshit in the middleThe aventurine bit was kino what are you on about. Only went to shit with the Sunday ending
>>724338739>I mean just look at how well-animated it is.ZZZ is only well-animated in the pre-rendered FMVs and Youtube promo videos.During the regular gameplay, it is EXTREMELY unanimated. Characters do not emote at all during unvoiced dialog, and even when dialog is voiced, there's not even animations of somebody walking into the scene, they just teleport in.People (deservedly) mocked HSR for black screens in first Amphoreus patch, but ZZZ has consistently the worst animated content of the big three Hoyo games.
>the worst arc is also the longest oneThe One Piece of gacha games
>>724338739>look at how well-animated it isFor the few pre-rendered cutscenes we get, sure. But so are the pre-rendered cutscenes in HSR and Genshin. Otherwise, 95% of the cutscenes are either VN sections (which shows their limitations really fast) or characters standing in place with no animations whatsoever except for their idle ones.The story presentation of ZZZ is so overrated that I believe that the only people that praises it only watches the pre-rendered cutscenes and nothing else.
>>724338741I actually liked the Rappa story, but that might be because I started playing the game around an year ago, so I could immediately move to Fugue story, and then there wasn't much waiting for Amphoreus start either....One thing that really does suck about HSR is lack of unique locations.How many times have side quests or events taken us to some weird laboratory or new planet... and it's just Herta Space Station or Belobog map?Don't get me wrong, I can kind of suspend my disbelief, but I would absolutely like it more if the game did something more like Genshin, and had unique locations for situations like that.
>>724339350I think he means the actual gameplay animations anon. HSR stiffs look STIFF in comparison
>>724339528The gameplay animations of HSR looks good tho?You could say that ZZZ is "more animated" but that’s because they’re aiming for an exagerated style of animation like cartoon. HSR in comparaison, is more grounded in terms of style of animation.
>>724338739And despite the "soul", I dropped it after 2.0. I don't like Genshin's artifact mechanic outside of Genshin. Also I'm really petty, lost the 50/50 to Grace.I only come back for the fall guys Bangboo event, but even that interest is waning.Speaking of the gameplay, did they add anything to it?HI3rd has added the jump mechanic since Part 2's release, but it's rather lacking in air combos with most Part 2 characters so far.
>>724312184you can still use your bennett+xl+xq even today in genshin, can you do the same with seele in hsr? thought so, that's why it's dying
>>724339983Some people are 0-cycling endgame content with Seele, yes.Main story can be cleared with any kind of ragtag team.>>724339961>Speaking of the gameplay, did they add anything to it?Well... You saw the bigger maps that were added in 2.0, that's about it.
>>724338739Wish some of that soul was put into writing, because it's been nothing but dogshit since 1.5. They raped the setting, turned villains into a mess and they have completely no idea what to do with MCs. At least they brought back Fairy, so one of my complains was adressed, but it is still not enough for me to enjoy the story, with how offensively bad it has become.
>>724339961They added the jump mechanic just to make the in air attack a ground slam, instead of proper air combos.Man, I miss APHO
>>724338739I love manato tits
>>724340820To be fair, early Part 2 units and CN Kiana does have actual air combos, though we do need another one like APHO Mei sometime soon.
