    WHAT IS HAPPENING?! This video was suppose to just fill content space before the elden ring DLC. It went from a "eh guess i'll play this" to the most successful video on my channel. Thank You people of the internet. I'm gonna work on the next episode today. Hopefully will be uploaded today as well.

    It's so refreshing to see a gameplay video from someone who actually engages with the lore and pays attention to the game mechanics. I feel like a lot of RUclipsrs skip all the text in every game and then complain "idk what any of this means, this story is dumb and these mechanics don't make sense."
    Star Rail does the good worldbuilding thing where they trust players to be smart enough to figure out the lore through context over time instead of giving you a 30 minute monologue of one character explaining everything to your character like they're a child. The Simulated Universe initially feels like lore overload but it establishes the philosophical underpinnings of the HSR setting and it becomes second nature as you experience more of the story.

      Also hate to be the bearer of bad news but Arlan is generally considered one of the weakest characters in the game at the moment lol. Hoyo has a pretty good track record of introducing new characters and gear sets that make underperforming characters better so hopefully eventually Arlan gets a boost.

    Nope, of all hoyoverse games, this is the best they have made for me. The UI is clean, the tutorials are not annoying and fun, and the lore are bigger, like BIG BIG. They prepared 40+ planets with their own lore before the game even released.
    Not to mention the gameplay actually wide and full of different mechanics, but not complicated.

    The "text above" certain words is a common practice in East Asian writing. After googling it, it's apparently called "Ruby characters." They're used for different reasons but they're most commonly used to guide the reader on how to pronounce uncommon or made-up words.

      In Japan they use this to make Elementary Grade learn a Kanji.
      If you watch any anime OP that have official lyrics on them, the more younger the target audience the more the lyrics have those or not.

    Most of the systems in the game came directly from Genshin with some tweaking here and there.

Sadly Genshin's team is still playing catch up with implementing the QoL changes HSR made.

    3:50 Yep! Every character does.
    * 4:30 - 5:00 This is Herta. Along the bridge are other portraits. If you interact with them (and Herta's), you get special dialogue with Kafka and Silver Wolf that is only available at this point in the game (including some background lore not found elsewhere). Interacting with them again will give you the standard, voiced introduction of each person.
    6:52 lol
    8:13 lmao, nice!
    9:22 Yes, generally speaking. Not too much on your first time on the Station, but there are a couple of easter eggs around, as well as interesting or comical happenings. Later, and increasing with each new "planet" you get to, there are more things to find if you are a completionist or are after trinkets and song tracks (more on that later).
    9:40 Actually, this statement isn't far off. Diving into all of it now would be information overload, but basically the people with "powers" (such as everyone you've played or interacted with so far) follow "Paths" from which they draw their power. Many individuals in this universe -- playable, NPC, or in lore -- see the Paths and their Aeons (gods, essentially) the same as we see religion, and in equal degrees (from acknowledgement to evangelism). More on this comes up as you play, as well as the plethora of information available in the data bank once you unlock it. A not-important note to keep in the back of your mind: A character's gameplay Path may not necessarily be the same as their lore Path. Case and point: March 7th's gameplay Path is Preservation, but lore is Trailblaze. When thinking about a character's participation in the story with regards to their Path, consider the lore Path to supersede gameplay. Those who follow a Path and receive power from it are called Pathstriders.
    10:38 Yeah, that was very much a threat~
    11:53 Yeah, WuWa lifted A LOT from Genshin and Star Rail. So much so that, having never played WuWa, I thought a screenshot from it was Genshin with a slight graphics boost. A lot of the UI and UX are the same, too.
    14:52 A Stellaron Hunter like Kafka and Silver Wolf. More about Elio as you progress.
    * 19:14 Pretty, right?
    * 21:36 lmao
    * 24:17 😉
    26:03 So, a personal observation, and maybe complaint, is that Caelus isn't as expressive as Stelle. Or, at the very least, it's much harder to see his expressions compared to her.
    🤷‍♀
    26:25 Same note as above regarding Paths and Aeons, however I'll add info about Emanators here because I was lost AF for a LONG time with regards to them. To keep things simple, you can consider Emanators as demigods if we look at Aeons as gods. They wield considerably more power than Pathstriders, but only a fraction of the power of Aeons. That said, an Aeon can choose just how much power to bestow upon an Emanator. And, to further complicate matters, not all Paths or Emanators are combat-oriented...
    26:43 lol, same reaction as many others 😂
    31:49 That yellow gun in the background is the rating pistol Silver Wolf was talking about. Come back to that when you have a few more characters 😉
    34:00 Yep, March retaliates whenever a shielded ally is attacked, as you figured out! Up to two times before cooldown.
    42:24 - 34 :wheeze:
    43:13 You can press and hold the key for the corresponding skill/attack to get a pop-up tooltip. More detailed information is available on the character sheet and their Traces window.
    47:31 There's an ongoing joke among the fanbase that HoYo is a music company that makes games. The music on the space station is awesome and continues throughout the rest of the game.
    52:04 Each light cone also has lore on it. Completely optional, of course, but fun nonetheless.
    53:30 Same, fam. I never touched 2x until I got to the point in the game where I needed to start farming materials. This can be a contentious subject with some people, so be weary. Particularly if you stream this, you could get a lot of people spamming chat with "2x play 2x 2x 2x" nonsense. Play how you see fit. Except boss fights. Always play those at 1x 😜
    Glad you had fun! Now that you have even a slight awareness of the game and a handful of characters, you'll need to hold off on some of the character trailers (particularly the later, more recent ones), the Myriad Celestia trailers past "Fables About the Stars" ("The Jepella Rebellion" is also okay since it pretty much stands alone), and animated shorts. To be honest, most of the character trailers are fine to watch, it's just a few of the ones for characters that came out during the Penacony arc would be spoilery for Penacony's story and characters (two of which are absolutely spoilers). It's the same story with the Myriad Celestia trailers; most are fine up to a certain point, but they provide a lot of either character or location lore, none of which you currently have any context for. The animated shorts, on the other hand: Three are explicitly spoilers, one is more enjoyable with context of the planet it's from, a few are literal shorts (around one minute long) about Penacony characters, and one I would recommend closer to the end of the next area you get to after the station. It would be safe to watch now if you want to get hyped about the fact HoYo loves Star Rail, but again, more enjoyable when you are more comfortable after surviving the overstimulation of the first few hours of gameplay.
    Oh, and you might have noticed I marked a few items with an asterisk. These are items worth looking at again once you've gotten more familiar with the game. And for a couple of these, again after you reach a certain point in the story. Vague now, sure, but when you reach that point it will be obvious. That said, you can absolutely check out the first part of the space station again by selecting a different region. Each region works like a save file, so it would be a new game entirely. Handy if you want to see a different perspective on something, or revisit locked off areas once you passed them on your main. Like the portraits. ;) And don't be afraid to try interacting with things. There are a number of easter eggs in this game.

    I think my biggest recommendation with playing this game story-wise is doing some of the side quests/companion quests in the planets before moving on to the next planet's main story. They give you more world building and seeing characters and NPCs from other quests in the main quest makes it more interesting imo. No spoilers, but for example, there's a period in the second main quest in the latest planet [Penacony] where all the NPCs you can interact with in tiny side quests appear, and then there's a permanent event quest in the second plaenet [Luofu] featuring characters you do companion quests with that deepens the story if you do their quests first - it just makes the world more lived in. However, it's no big deal if you don't do the quests... don't take it too seriously and have fun!

    59:50 It’s actually only been out for a little over 1 year-It just had its first anniversary. That being said, it came out with enough content for a fully made game you would buy as is. Since then, even if you don’t include the new world and the longest story arc of any of the stories that we’ve gotten so far (the newest world and arc is so good), there have been a lot of updates, event, companion missions, etc etc added. If you take your time with the game (which I recommend for the most enjoyment), it will take you a while to even get to the newest world.

      @jaredjosephsongheng372 2 месяца назад +6

      For a spoiler free semi in depth but very short version of world building.
      The Imaginary Tree is a tree that is immeasurable in size and it is where all Hoyoverse games take place in and is responsible for the birth of all universes and it seeks to absorb the Sea of Quanta.
      The Sea of Quanta is an endless Sea filled with bubble universes (universes that will be destroyed very soon) and is the place where the Captainverse happens.
      The Sea of Quanta seeks to drown the Imaginary Tree.
      Now with two entities fighting to claim dominance over the other there must be a reason why there's something balancing the other.
      The Honkai is the corrective balancing system that stunts the growth of the Imaginary Tree by testing the universes by means of an ice age, plague, honkai beasts all in the purpose of exterminating that civilization.
      If the universe overcomes the Honkai, it will be considered to have passed the test.
      If the universe succumbs to the Honkai, it will fall into the sea of quanta becoming a bubble universe.

    I watched like 1 minute of your video, and I'm already entertained, lol. Honkai Star Rail is one of my most favorite games, and I've played it since release. It's easy and player friendly (at a certain point, it gets hard, but building a team of characters will help. I struggled a little at Xianzhou, the planet after Jarilo-VI, haha). I've gotten multiple characters with little to no money spent and leveled them up to the max level (80) quite easily. A few months of playing, and I already got to max trailblazer level (70), too. I enjoy the plot, the mechanisms, the helpful guides/in-game tools, the various events, the friend support system, and so on. The visuals are fun to look at, and some cutscenes give me the absolute chills. I've never been interested in turn-based games, but HSR definitely changed my mind. There are so many interesting details about the characters, their paths, etc. It would be fun to see you play through the whole story and learn along the way. The newer stories are really interesting, and I'd love to see you do a video on it :)
    Also, there are plenty of more cool-looking opponents in the future, so be ready for that!

    To me it's real funny that Stellaron is "Cancer of All Worlds" and the thing essentially just became the Player Character.
    At the time of the game's release, Hoyoverse's most played game was Genshin. And look at all the bullshit the player community did... I'd say this "Cancer of All Worlds" was a fun jab at the players.

    You commented about the music being good, so Ill tell you, if there is one thing Hoyo does best, it is music.

    HSR being the very first Hoyo game you play is the best possible choice, it's pretty much a Hoyo game done right in almost everything. Granted it's not an action game like the others but even the turn based system is great in this.

  • @thatsaber01
    @thatsaber01 16 дней назад +1

    What I love about Star Rail is that each planet doesn't feel like their story is "finished". Sure, you can argue that Genshin is the same but I don't think so. With Genshin, I feel like nothing progresses even after a really big and important side quest. It just feels like the story isn't progressing at all. With Honkai Star Rail, with every new expansion to the planets - more and more little details are added to the planet. An example is the recent event with Luka.

  • @jimjimcherie

    I'm subscribing to see more of this because you are so entertaining. I love HSR so much. Probs the reason why I got bored with WuWa after a week of its release is bcs so many things reminded me of HSR and HSR just did it better... so many of the WuWa characters were just unbearable to me, I, however, do not like Genshin. I think when it comes to these 3 gachas, I'd rank them HSR, WuWa, Genshin in that order.
    HSR is so so so good, the story too, like I've cried playing this stupid gacha game and I've grown so attached to some of the characters.

    Character trailers and teasers are probably spoiler-heavy at times but I would definitely check out the Keeping Up With Star Rail videos of characters that intrigue you or just trial them out while their banners are up. It also gives you a little bit of pull currency :)

Btw someone already commented that but i will say it too : companion quest are must do even if you dont stream them, they will make you understand some characters better, especialy few of the main cast that are part of the express, but most important have fun, your playtrough was very refreshing and enjoyable to watch, will check the rest sooner or later 👀👀

    I bounced off Genshin Impact hard, but Honkai Star Rail got its hooks into me. Its one of two rare games where the monetisation is fair, lore is compelling and deep, storylines are interesting, gameplay is fun, love the graphics and art design, and it supports theory crafting really well. Honkai Star Rail is definitely the superior game.
