- Zenless Zone Zero is HoYoVerse's latest released game. Is it fun? Is it worth playing? I decided to try to figure that out for myself, and here's my experience with it so far...

«We got hacked by an abyss mage?» best line to ever exist
I laughed out loud at that haha
7:36 i believe some characters require a combat combo first and / or a tab and hold.. (maybe he figures it out i didnt finish the video yet)
i don’t really get it either. all i know is if i like stop normal attacks and kinda hold the skill button it works (also im a mobile player 🥲 bc it doesn’t seem to be available on PS4)
@@alexandrab3310Nah, I think it's only on PS5, and it also happens on there too to me.
@@Lumii_15 😭😭 that’s not fair
"Im just saying.... There is a skip button"
FINALLY! A SKIP BUTTON IN A HOYO GAME
Hi3 be like: am I a joke to you?
honkai star rail: am i a joke to you?
@@rsg_magfire Unironically yes. Not a bad game, but it's so much mobile that its PC port is unplayable, so anyone playing on PC likely either never tried or uninstalled before noticing anything Genshin lacks.
Lol don’t forget Mihoyo’s favorite games too., Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai Star Rail
Hsr doesn't have skin button @@ur_local_childe_simp
So, after playing the character trials in the VR missions, you understand a lot more about the game as a whole, one of your complaints is about unresponsiveness with EX skills and I think that’s more down to your personal gameplay
You mentioned that you were spamming the attack button which isn’t ideal, it feels clunky and jarring, and it’s also just less effective. Take Anby for example, her whole gimmick, like with Soldier 11, is timing her attacks to deal more damage except instead you’re stopping your basic attacks after N3, waiting for your sword to flash and then you unleash a more powerful attack, if you wait for this sword flash, then use your EX skill, it feels much more responsive and enjoyable, whilst also just being more effective since when used this way, Anby buffs this EX special’s daze by like 50% making her job as a Stun character much more effective
yep that's how it is. i think more of it as some "rhythm" game where certain units have this patterns or flows in which when you do them, they'd feel more fluid as it is with Anby and 11. i really enjoy Anby as a unit because of that haha
Yeah that’s what I picked up quickly as well (probably cos I read instructions lol)
I don't know if it is the translation but like the game told me, to attack at the right timing but didn't say what the actual right timing was so I am more than confused by the combat
@@FriziWoti that is the reason why VR exist. The game can only tell you to use something after a certain action and that's it. Players will be the one experimenting on it to get a feel of it.
@@meguillozebern8806 problem is it is unspecific. In every area you get so many information, you cant handle or which are not yet important. My guess was they meant perfect dogge by "right timing"
I honestly think this game just suits controller better, I've had no issues so far with combat and delay while using one
That’s exactly what I was thinking, it definitely works better on console than mobile even having better ratings if that counts.
i love how your complaint in the gameplay is the first thing that the game taught you in the beginning where certain moves will easily transition to your skill
Fun Fact: Ellen's Gimmick regarding to moving to power up is based on Sharks needing to move to stay alive.
Ive been refreshing my youtube for over 3 hours
lol same
Bro go touch grass 😂😂
😬
I've enjoyed the gameplay of ZZZ and really appreciated the style, but this game more than Genshin or HSR I found myself wishing it was just a regular JRPG that I could play through with all the characters and then complete it in a reasonable number of hours. I'll probably catch up with the main story then drop it for a few months so that I can come back and enjoy the game in episodic chunks without worrying about a daily grind.
Daily grind? It takes less than a week to complete all content
Just like any story-based gacha.
@@Laurboy97 I mean not logging in to do dailies or weekly events. Not worrying about maximizing the number of gacha pulls to try to get every character.
The ‘challenge’ mode just gives enemies more hp. It basically nerfs your characters and adds more time to battles
Tbh they still die super fast
@@TheZWolf yeah challenge mode isn't very fititng name xd
to be expected from hoyo though
Just like every p2w products.
@@MrFirecamit's optional dumbass. There's no benefit to challenge mode. You don't have to play with it on.
The good thing in this game is you can't use the 3 star weapons on accident, 'cause you need to "disenchant" them into the upgrade material first! With regards to the skills thing you need to know what the character's kit is. For instance with Anby if you use her skill after her third normal attack it will execute it immediately. Not sure if casting it without energy also has an effect on the delay. Honestly the multipliers for when you don't have energy are so low I've never used a regular skill only the EX versions. Also Anomaly only account when :D
To answer your question about Anby's Special: No, it's not delayed when you use it after 3 basic attacks. No i-frame though since it's not EX.
Some characters do have a useful non Ex skill, for example, Anby. The main difference is you aren't invulnerable during it but you would still want to use it to stun the enemy if that's your goal.
I really thought the next video he would make will be about nilou, but then i remembered java is the MASTER at procrastination until the last 3 hours
wow you're finally playing zzz! i was waiting for you to upload a video since launch
I logged in on launch day and played for an hour or two, then logged out and uninstalled it. Just Not For Me in comparison to the other gacha games I'm already playing. I was pretty happy to have such a definitive response to it.
I, on the contrary liked it cause I dont need spend too much time, same with HSR
You experienced nothing of the game really and failed to give it a fair chance like you did the other gachas
Bro I've been playing since launch and now it just feels like a drag to even open
@@Laurboy97dude if he don't like the game then it's OK, no need to force him
@ChaosFlute Same
2:39 is swear to i feel like everyone and their mom is getting soldier 11, ive seen like six content creators getting her, two of my friends got her and I got her three freaking times on the 7 accounts i did trying to get Rina/Lycaon
Everybody but me. I got the one standard 5* I didn't want! 😮💨
If it makes you feel any better my very first pull on the standard banner got me Rina
@@rinyaskyline why would that make me feel better😭
it's all rng. i tried rerolling for her 23x but didn't get her and gave up after getting ellen on the last account.
Java, Changli is out, shes a sword user in Wuwa, cant wait for a swords only episode!

Java posted!!!
6:20 - Good, you do this too. Genshin was my first Hoyo game and at the beginning of my playthrough all the way back in 1.0 I started hanging onto one of each weapon while powering them all up to R5 with a "just in case" mindset, and I'm so glad I did because some of those weapons were exclusive to chests and thus finite. Also it meant I had backup options if I didn't have the ideal weapon.
W-Engines don't have this problem as they're nearly all from the gacha but I've still done it for ZZZ.
What Java said: Promoting my inter knot reputation.
What I heard: Promoting my internet reputation
All I wanted to is that 2 years ago I started watching SpellsOnly and his other videos now I moved I couldn't remember him but I kept on trying to find his channel again and finally I found it I lost all my memory to Genshin impact but because of you I'm gaining it all back I also began watching from the beginning all over again. And I think your voice is fine af..😩 Anyways Your a wonderful RUclipsr and I hope you get to a million!
A new Java cup video woohoo! Also PLEASE play whatever you enjoy, don't force urself in anyway. Anyways, thanks for the content!
You should get a bangboo that fits 2 of the characters on your team. For example:
If you're planning on running Soldier 11, and Lucy as a support since she's also Fire, you should get the fire bangboo.
If you run Anby and Nicole who are both from the Cunning Hares faction, you should get the Cunning Hares bangboo.
I think this game might be more enjoyable if you don't treat it like a gacha game and more like a traditional game. At least for me this make it way more enjoyable
Issue is the progression and the fact you need to play weekly to get currency from events
I'm relly interested how challage accounts are gonna look like in this game
0:34 More IMPACT you say? On a hoyoverse game? How interesting.
10:00 I've tested this with the currest roster of characters and found that only certain ones change poses when going from Skills to Equipment. Some have four poses while some others only have three. I'm not entirely sure what the requirements for having a different number of poses are. I, too, am very confused.
Honestly, I was only really interested in playing ZZZ after watching your video on the closed beta, so I'm glad I'm able to have fun with it. Definitely understandable why you wouldn't want to really create another content focused account considering all the gacha games you currently play. ♡
good luck with your pulls zhu yuan wanters
So, last year I tried Hi3. Got a decent length into it, tried a lot, but just wasn't into it. This game feels like a simplified Hi3, but messy. The game kinda gives me a headache with how busy it is. And none of the characters are really pulling me in, tbh. It's not a bad game, but if i wanted to play something like it I'd go back to Hi3.
I'm so interested in characters and the world of zzz but the game is so overwhelming for me😢 ui has so many vibrant colours, everything is named something crazy, the combat seems easy at first but you really need to dive in and read what skills do to understand it. that was kinda tiring and now i don't even play it. it's a really pretty and well optimised game tho
For real, the messiness is just too much. I do like having a lot of color on my screen (one of my go to teams in genshin is hyperbloom, I literally can't see what's happening sometimes), but that only happens when I choose to play with that team. The rest of the experience is really organized and calm visually. But in zzz everything is equally intense in detail and color, all the menus are a mushroom trip with a dark background and I don't know where to look or click. There are false buttons and it is difficult to distinguish them from the real ones. I don't understand what does what because there is not enough text, and the times there is it's only text, text and more text with almost no images to illustrate what the text is talking about. Also a lot of the materials and wishing currencies are really similar, everything is something sorta mechanic with silver, a lot of small details and some vibrant color. All of them have the same design formula and honestly, I can't really differentiate them, plus a lot of the times the names don't help at all.
A video game where the visuals are sometimes really good but the rest of the time are just tiring to look at and not helpful (because you are constantly looking for a text or a name somewhere to be able to identify what you are looking at) is just not well designed.
It feels like they were trying to make it look cool and futuristic but forgot about the fact that it's a game and people need to be able to navigate it with ease.
was nice to see your angle
The timing issue you're experiencing with the special button is two things.
1) the non-charged up version of most character's skill looks different and might be mistaken for a part of their attack chain which can feel like a missed input, only to try again later once you have energy (the flashing rainbow bar under your health) and get the "real" version when you wanted it.
2) most attack animations, especially if they're long, can't be canceled into your skill. You need to time chaining into it.
You can abuse a long animation by swapping into another character and doing something else at the same time instead. Be careful if you dont have invulnerability during that long animation when you swap off though because they will take damage if its not during a dodge 😂
Yeah. He's just used to other games where where mashing basics is just filler in between skill, ult, quick assists etc. when you actually kind of have to take care of when you're basic attacking. There's actual thought that needs to be put into when you use your skill in your basic attack combo.
I havent played the game and dont intend too (genshin + hsr is enough gacha games for me, i didnt even keep playing WuWa or Reverse1999 even though i really like them) BUT i think the game design is very cool, it changes a lot from what we got used to see. Hope anyone playing will have fun.
idk why but java saying goofy sounds so wrong but so right
Waiting for a Zenless Zone Zero Challenge.
I would love to see a video of you showing what you do in a day like editing,log in into different accounts of yours and so on
ZZZ is more akin to a fighting game like Devil May Cry exact timings in button presses an deliberate moves and combos. Same as in DMC you can spam attacks through and through but you will not look as stylish as someone who knows combos.
Right, this reminds me of Nero's Red Queen where if you delay the 2nd hit, it will become Combo B where he will pound the enemy into the ground.
@@PureLunari Fighting game let's go! Time to negative edge
Hack n slash is genre, not fighting games
Dmc for slow brain people
Can't believe I'm 11 minutes late, new record. love your videos Java
Happy about the new video java, thank you!
I just have one question: So did you end up beating envi at the snake game?
You actually just have to use your normal attack to do the skill, because normal attack gives energy for the skill, when the skill turns colour its most powerfull. But overall you'll mainly be normal attacking until you get to stun the enemy and make a chain attack.
I think the interface design of ZZZ is very confusing, does anyone feel the same? Ofc I haven't played the game, but it's my impression
Honestly you can customize everything into one big button for quick access. I've heard the complaint but I've never felt that way personally even on day 1.
i've been waiting for ZZZ for YEARS, and honestly..didn't really live up to my expectations. of course, i love every little thing about the game, (even the tvs!) but i just feel burnt out of it already comapred to HSR or GI, even though it's only been out for 20ish days.
Will you do ZZZ Only?
Javaless Jone Jero. And don't lie, you'll be back to the snake game.
Nope, no more snake game for me
Ayyy I knew you would play this one as well. I've been waiting 😍
I WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS :3
Java, I ran out of your videos to watch.. So are you gonna stream any time soon or do I back to watching you suffer, again?
this really zenlessed my zoned zero
i was waiting for this vid
I find it hilarious how Java says they don't wanna do the snake game again and the event is for playing snake.
I feel like im mainly having fun with ZZZ because i got mega lucky. Ellen and Lycaon within 20 pulls so it was completely F2P, then i got Sharkboo really quickly too(Ellens best bangboo)
FINALLY
Someone said about E skill!!!
It was soooo freaking annoying for me to click it
Upd: YES and the fact that we have to go to sleep all the time. It really annoys 😢
Same here! I'll still probably play it occasionally at my spare times. It's not that special and was very disappointed on the 180 Free pulls they are trying so hard to advertise up till now.
FINALLY A NEW VIDEO!!!
Java uploading this right as the Arcade event is going on 😂
On the very first few days of playing ZZZ I got lycon and Koleda... I'm F2P. I might have the best luck playing these games.
I would love to watch java playing pokemon games. Maybe madded too.
The snake stream was epic though
i got 1S class character in my first 10 pull and another one in my second 10 pull. ( i thought that you can get one s class character every 10 pulls)
NEW JAVA VID
The first limited 5 star sword character on Wuthering Waves is coming out in 2 days, are you going to make a WuWa swords only video then? Also if you haven’t used your free standard banner 5 star character voucher yet then you should use it. I know you can’t use the character since there are no sword standard banner 5 stars, but it will give you 15 Afterglow Corals, which you can use to get almost 2 more pulls.
Changli is sword character coming in wuwa be ready to pull .
Me after seeing Java being lucky asf meanwhile I lost 50/50 to zhu yuan at 81 pity for the big booba maid girl😀
Java the new sword character is out in withering waves
OMG IM EARLY! LETS GOO! 🗣❗️❗️
Didn't expect Java to touch this game
This game is not available for me for some reason does anyone have the same issue cause it's says not available for this version but somehow my old shitty phone can play it while my new one ain't 💀
I have one question, when will you make a challenge account for this game?
Nah the fact I got a zen less zone zero before this
We want to see java playing roblox next
Hey Java, out of curiosity, do you perhaps remember who had the high score in snake game at the end of the the CBT you participated in? I remember it was a big thing back then
I some how got rly lucky with the bangboos and have snagged 3 s tier bangboos
Oh look more bad luck a coming!
Edit nvm he had ok luck
Java where is episode 5 of your hard-core world?
I’ve been waiting for a year, bro😢
As a billy main, how are people getting his constellations that easily 😭😭😭
0:55 real ash
It is enjoyable because you can skip the cutscenes
16:39 Yeah, skill issue. *Skill* issue. Haha get it
I noticed you were struggling with EX attacks.
Usually you don't want to use a regular EX attack (I'll talk about exceptions in a minute). You want enough energy in the bar below your health to reach a cursor, to unleash a special EX attack. Those are much more powerful and responsive.
These attacks can be combo'd sometimes, like with Anby. You wanna use the special EX after using her third NA, and then spam NA again.
Sometimes you need to hold it to use it multiple times and enhance it, like with Lycaon.
Sometimes you need to hold it just to enhance it, like Nicole or Piper.
Sometimes you need to use it repeatedly like Soukaku.
Exceptions I mentionned:
Grace wants to spam NAs until she gets 6 bullets (top right), then use her EX right away, special or not. That accumulates Electric anomaly and eventually triggers shock.
Holding Soukaku's regular EX (even without using her special EX to get full stacks on top right) will still give an attack buff and an opportunity to transfer it to the character you switch to next.
Lucy's regular EX should be used in the beginning of battle to summon all 3 of her minions to deal off-field damage.
Okay, there's something going wrong in your end with the skill button. It should be instantaneous, and not require 1 second of doing nothing to activate.
DADDY IS BACK
YAYYYYY
plug boo and grace are really good together
Do one like erudition only, first 5 star is the element for the challenge
That seems more complex than PoE's talent system...
I'm here 🎉😊
Do a challenge series🙏
Zhu yhan is coming and she’s great!!!
I see Javathecup I happy
i’m really curious as to javas opinion on the natlan characters tbh
I think the conclusion if its fun or not is:
Its fun if you dont play a lot if Gacha games on many accounts
This is definitely a controller game. As a side effect, while I can play it on my phone more smoothly than my PC, I don't like the way the buttons pop up and interrupt the standard button flow. Like, what if I want to use a more normal attack before using an assist? My fingers are too fat, and I'm too slow NOT to press a popped assist button, and then I'm wondering what happened. There's also no feedback using screen controls. I wonder, should I get a controller that just goes with phones?
we love java!! (we say in unison)
electric only when?
i really wanna like this game but the ui is hurting my eyes so much
Why is this in the geo only playlist?
How about trying do to a 1 or 2 character only series?
Hi Java, I've seen you using some random teams and i guess that playing characters that you like is important but in this game the teams that you put together are actually important. If a character shares affiliation/element with one of the teammates they both gain additional skills. it kinda works like elemental resonance in genshin but more complicated because it doesn't only give flat buffs. considering the 5-stars you got i'd reccomend playing them with Ben Bigger who shares affiliation with Grace and element with soldier 11 which would allow all of them to benefit from the line-up. all of them also excel in different roles so you'd have all-round good team
This is the luckiest I’ve seen Java’s pulls… I’m stuck with getting an s rank that I don’t want…twice
Bro I got an ZZZ ad before this
I think your E key might be broken

Leveling up is tied to the world level.
physical only when??
bro my luck was terrible the first 5 star i got was nekomata (a standard char) then i went to pity for guaranteed ellen and the 5 star i got from standarb banner was soldier 11 then the second one i got from standard banner was another nekomata
