Why did Honkai: Star Rail fail?
>>
because only white man enjoy 4 niggas in a row
>>
>>729893973
Of the 3 major Mihoyo games it by far has the worst writing and it is also the least appealing to straight men who are the target demographic. Homos and fujos will only get you so far.
>>
gachafags never learn
>>
>>729893973
But it did not? It's popular in Asia with people used to gacha games being endless powercreep bullshit with shoddy and drawn out writing.

But yeah, the game has quite a few problems all things considered. Where ZZZ fails but tries to be something more, Star Rail is content being just another typical gacha game, but with really pretty 3D graphics and more voice-lines, more music, etc than the usual.
>>
chinese content model where they expect you to be married to the game. Two years for two new regions is insulting
>>
>>729894175
Haven't played Genshin, but ZZZ writing is even worse than HSR
>>
Lots of firefly spam lately...
Not that I'm complaining!

Yet ZZZ gets regular threads on /v/ unlike starrail
>>
>>729895378
/v/ is a softporn board and ZZZ is a better gooner game

Star rail is in an ok spot.
As long as you never spend money or spent money your good
Game for a bit and forget about it
Come back once in a while, s'ok all good

The whole extended delay took lots of hype out of the sails. Now rather than playerbase being excited for new planet, there's air of worry, like "hopefully it will still be good..."
Also... the new Penacony patch really wasn't good. Was I curious about what Firefly was up to while she wasn't around? Yes. Did I think the new update expanded on old content in satisfactory way? Fuck no, this was just retroactively expanding the scope and stakes of story that had already happened, we really don't need two SAVING THE UNIVERSE patches back-to-back.

>>729894175
ZZZ has worse writing by mile, and the dev team doesn't know what the fuck they want the game to be, pivoting to different shit at slightest feedback, changing game mechanics, and switching direction of story.
It is literally liveservice game that I have played which has had unvoiced lines in a patch because the devs hurriedly rewrote bunch of story points.
It also does atrocious job of building up characters long term, so you really don't get invested in anybody before or after their patch. It's pretty hard to find much good to say about the writing, other than some lines being good, and there being some cool moments in vacuum.


>>729895378
Because people just post ecchi art of the ZZZ characters.

Bait-and-switch with two (2) lolis at the start and fucking literally nothing for three (3) years

>Love and Deepspace
I've never even heard of this one. Where the fuck did this come from?
>>
>>729899694
You know how there's shittons of mobile games with pretty girls, targeted at guys?
Well, Love and Deepspace is pretty much only one with high production values with handsome guys, targeted at girls.
>>
It didnt, but with the total redesign in 4.x at the last minute its not looking good. Everything is gonna be tainted of what couldve been. So we'll see.
>>
>>729899854
Pretty much. I liked Amphoreus, but even I'll admit that it felt like it went on for too long. So players were understandably happy to get out of there, and have change of scenery.
...And now devs are scrambling to remake the next planet WITH TWO WEEKS OF DELAY. Even if it is good, you know there's going to be endless discussion like "Oh man, this part was kind of bad, you can tell they had to remake this, thanks CCP!"
>>
You think the tensions between Japan and China could cool fast enough that Mihoyo will just be able to use their original plans for Japan World?

Started the game for kafka, but got no kafka. Also the 4 niggas in a row gameplay was designed just to waste your time and punish non-payers, which got old fast

ZZZ has "merely" bad writing due to too many cooks in the kitchen.
HSR suffers from borderline GPT generated lore and plot points and constant retcons within the same patch, sometimes within the same fucking quest.

I will remind you at this point the sensortower chink "android estimate" multiplier is around x20 so LaD doesn't lose to the global server of pokemon TCG, and even then they are often neck and neck more often than not.
And even then that's by doing combined revenue for all chink game servers while vehemently refusing to acknowledge the pokemon TCG JP server exists, because if they did then PTCG would rape everything by an order of magnitude even with the chink buff multipliers and the JP nerf ones.

They're saving the best stuff for Kafka later bro, trust.
