Hmm, how would people feel about an end of patch recap on star rail story? Instead of 8+ hours of footage, maybe a 15-30 min video on main cutscene reactions with explanations of what happens in between? Maybe I just need to try a different STYLE of star rail content. unsure yet, lmk thoughts
I think many of us would love to see some random hsr moments tho 😅. Not rushing contents or some cc quality stuff but vibing and play it at the pace you like and just be silly overall
Aww I like seeing the reactions, but maybe not each and every content of the games, that sounds exhausting for everyone 😮. Also you upload whatever profile pic you feel comfortable with 😂
True, all the genshills pressuring him to play a dead game😂, actual kids they cant form their own opinion so they need someone else to help the with that😂😂
@@YOUHUOUGGHHH you do realize he enjoys genshin and wants to continue uploading genshin reaction/story content? his main obstacle is being enthusiastic about Honkai Star Rail, so don't hate for the sake of hating honey.
Thank you, Bran, for being truthful and unapologetic about your likes and dislikes. Personally, I'm a big fan of your insights when you watch/play something, and I know enjoying what you do is essential for that. I hope you will manage to curate the type of community that respects this.
I'm a human from Asia, I've been following you on RUclips for a long time, and I enjoy what you your content, keep it up, live it and enjoy what you find fun.🙌
It's all in the wording. Someone can say "this game just isn't for me", and no one can argue with that. But when they say "this game sucks" that's just not true. None of these games "suck" that's obvious because they all make millions of dollars. One game might fit someone's interests or play style better than others. That doesn't mean one "sucks" and the other is great. I'm probably quitting Wuwa. Not because it sucks. It just hasn't grabbed my interest and I log on and look at the things there are to do and I still have plenty I could do I haven't even completed more than 2 character stories yet. But I'm like...nah, and I turn it back off. I'll wait for some of these other new games that are coming or wait it out for the next patch ot two. This isn't a kuro vs hoyo thing. I burned out on HSR too in a few weeks. Turn based combat just wasn't fun for me. HSR is obviously an awesome game but not for me.
I think it's okay to say something sucks as long as it's not like biased or double standard like. If someone says genshin sucks cause like the artifact grinding sucks yet wuwa and SR has that exact same problem then it okay to call out. But still agree with you cause we are having this problem in a discord server I'm in with wuwa vs genshin cause people are saying you can do all this and that which some of it like running up walls and a grapple is nice but some of the combat from what I've seen is okay not as deep and people make it out to be but to say genshin combat is too casual is a bad thing is one those major things I disagree with cause sometimes you just need that really casual experience it's like going to a cod game not everyone just wants to go try hard and put effort in some people just wanna chill and have a good time
Same fellow traveller. I have an irl freind who I got into genshin and who later begged me into playing hsr when it came out which I sadly while I know its an amazing game, as an open game exploration addict (heck i 100%ed GTA V, skyrim, most early AC games and even genshin map at the time of this comment) I couldn't at all feel invested playing turn based games since I bought and stop midway of playing the 1st ever pokemon red. My freind is still a big hsr player while he rarely plays genshin anymore as he was always into that style of game more and I dropped hsr early while still playing genshin almost daily but the 2 of us still chat alot about the 2 games and especially if any fun characters/story changes happen and we even sometimes share our accounts so each of us get to try the new characters/mechanics of the 2 games. I get its not black&white and many many ppl like playing both but im sharing my story as to show its normal to like a game but not be a fan of the daily gameplay like what bran is saying
Great comment. I too feel this way, as I don't play hsr, not because I hate the game, or think it's bad, but I simply just don't like turn-based systems. But even then I genuinly respect how the devs have made so many qol changes and the character designs look great. The story seems great from what I've heard too, so I hope people who enjoy the game keep getting the content they like.
I have to agree. Penacony couldn't hold my attention. Genshin and WuWa however I enjoy a lot not just as a lore person but I love exploring and discovering things. No amount of rewards can make me invested or stay if I'm not enjoying something I leave, pretty simple really.
I totally respect your opinions on HSR and I have my ups and downs with it as well. I'm more invested in Genshin and Wuthering Waves and have spent the last couple weeks trying to keep up with both because I am already a Genshin lover but WuWa really has pulled me in. I think you should just upload what brings you joy and makes you happy, Bran. One of my favorite things about you is how genuine and honest you are about something whether it's a story, gameplay or whatever. I am most entertained when I see you enjoying a game and just having fun with it. I've enjoyed your content since first finding your Genshin demos reaction. You're a breath of fresh air in this community and I appreciate the fun content you put out. Thank you, Bran!
Streamers in my country are also starting to do the same thing. Not because HSR is bad or anything but most of them think that HSR is better played off-stream. They just don't think the game is suitable for streaming.
Because the game is just repetitive, its good for guys like us, but for content creators… not so much. Imagine having to act or say something when what you’re doing is the literal same exact thing 30 minutes ago. Its totally hellish to use it as your main content.
@@Arunika1 tbf genshin is also repetitive and wuwa is going to be repetitive when people hit the endgame (is still a few months to reach but, if you whale, you can reach it very soon and thats the case with a LOT of streamers)
@@lNealX pretty much, watching most WuWa streams are already boring. It’s just the same as Genshin now, watching CCs beat up easy mobs but for Holos instead of just only for materials to over played non-game music. It makes me a bit bitter that some CCs can’t play variety anymore after consuming the desired Gacha content because of the drop in viewers who only want Gacha just chatting streams.
bran i love the transparency you have on your channel :)! I mostly enjoy the content where i see that you enjoy yourself, so focus on what makes you happy. I also enjoy the content where we as a community can discuss and exchange different perspectives, but its sad that this isnt always in the most constructive in the commentsection. If it takes a toll on your psyche, its good to take a break from it and i look forward into your insight on stream whenever i can catch you there!
Honestly, if we evaluate all three games in the quickest way, HSR will be very suitable for those who are passionate about the turn-based genre, and for those who are passionate about exploration, genshin and WW will be a good choice
Correct. And comparing the three, HSR is the most mobile friendly for those quick runs like finishing energy/resin runs. With auto battle, sometimes you can just click and let it run while you do other things like checking email and whatnot. Genshin and WuWa needs more time to sit and play through even just for daily commisions
HSR is also good for those who are working on the spot and wanted to do some playing without taking too much time. The auto farm is really a god send, can't imagine myself doing open world games during work hours..
if you want exploration genshin is literally anti that. So slow and no grapples. Wuwa is so much faster and better in pretty much every aspect of the game.
I haven't watched a single WuWa video on your channel because i don't like WuWa. But i also didn't post hate comments on those videos. It's the CC that i love, the content he makes is another deal
@@gamingmango7017 Can I say that I don't know why exactly? I played it and was overjoyed by the continuous rewards. But I deleted it today. And don't think that I'm a Genshill. Because I'm an HI3 fan. WuWa just didn't do it for me. Maybe because I didn't find it unique enough to invest my time in it
@StrongestHumanAlive I get that! I did the same with HSR. Like, I didn't find anything bad with that game, I just didn't continue playing it, and the uninstalled it.
I remember following you as soon as I saw your reaction to Genshin's beginnings, the genuine excitement and interest were a delight to see 😂❤ after all this time, I watch you for you while yes, I do hope you explore more than Genshin as long as you genuinely enjoy it.
Now this is the kind of creator genshin needs. He really likes the game, but is still critical of it as seen from other videos. And of course he is entertaining
As someone who has played all three games (HSR, Genshin, and WuWa), here's my opinion: Play whatever you want and enjoy whatever you want. I'm going to say it right now: these three games are totally different in general (story, pacing, characters, etc.). Just so you know, "disliking something is totally fine, but talking shit about what others enjoy is dunderhead behavior." I still find it really ridiculous that there's so much hate and conflict between fandoms. To those who start unnecessary online wars, you are the problematic and immature ones. Grow up and stop being so biased.
@@YOUHUOUGGHHH80 % of wuwa players are ex genshin player and genshin hater both the wuwa and genshin community are shit they act the same lol wuwa community cannot live without shitting on genshin and genshin cannot live without criticizing wuwa. Can we be a good person and enjoy the game. People are taking fiction little too seriously. Like mentally ill people 😂
@@sembibirthsangma1423 ok so? People are sick of hoyoshit producing no content pretty much every year, of course people are going to leave. You might want to eat some mint so you can get your head working again.
Honestly bran, it's fun to watch you when you're having fun. So if the gameplay and character building of hsr is not fun for you, then it makes sense if you have someone else do it for you juat so you can enjoy the story whenever you feel like doing it.
I totally understand where you are coming from with this video, and I completely agree with your decision and probably would have done the same if I were in your position. Though I can’t help but feel sad since I usually don’t get the chance to tune in to live streams and would rather watch both your reactions and another watch of the quest. It’s fun for me since you notice different things a lot and rewatching allows me to pick up on extra content I didn’t notice/skipped/ forgot to do.
As someone who enjoys long and talkative quests (i feel like im watching a movie and its chill) i can absolutely see why someone else may not enjoy them and thats fine! Ive been watching for a few years now and really enjoy all of the content you put out - as long as its content you enjoy your reactions and videos are always great, feel no pressure as to what you should upload, people like me will keep on watching for your genuine reactions and overall videos :)
When the stroy is good, I'll read, when is repetitive or unnecessary dialogues, I just speedread it or just skip, for example genshin character quests are supposed to be about the character not about the npcs, for example, Arleccino was good for learning about her past, why she did the stuff and we also got a really good bossfight, and Nilou quest was about fixing the family issues of a random npc.
in my case, and i'm the person who enjoys long quests, the issue was with the pacing. Like for example, we could've went straight to the Grand Theater and confront Sunday, but nooo, you're gonna sit through this 1 hour long, last minute Trailblazer x Firefly bonding on a reality tv show that's awkwardly shoehorned into the story, completely disrupting it's flow. And don't even get me started on the bird analogy and Sunday's monologuing leading up to the final boss - it really felt like the writers were following the "say it louder for the people in the back" rule, so as someone who understood Sunday's pov from the getgo, having to sit through his monologuing was REALLY tiring
people need to learn other people have opinions as well. You are so valid Bran! I will continue to follow you even if you upload non genshin related content. I think you are a very entertaining creator and that is what matters!
I totally understand where your coming from. I like genshin more than star rail too and if your not enjoying it then just don't worry about uploading those videos. Just do what you think is fun! :) I look forward to your future content, Bran.
I have played genshin since the beginning and I was never into watching genshin content creators and your ylyl videos introduced your channel to me. But I am now one of those people who open your channel everyday to see if there's a new video. I have also joined some streams and the one thing I love the most about your videos was you enjoying everything. You enjoyed Genshin a lot and watching you enjoy made me enjoy. That 2.2.honkai star rail video was difficult for me to watch and I understood from the begining that you were already spoiled and you weren't enjoying as much. For me when I played the quest, that part when we lost to Sunday but thought we won was the best part of the story and they did it so well. Additionally, the pompom bringing the astral express was too funny. But you were spoiled so I can understand why you weren't much into it. It's like how I don't watch anime that I've read manga about. Especially those that are about the suspense and the thrill. About the content that you want to upload, just keep uploading like you always do. One bad video doesn't mean that you should change. Although I would recommend that if you do want to bring some change, then try to upload the content that you actually enjoyed instead of every story. Love your content and want to see more during my meal times and during the times I play games to do dailies or farming.
I personally don't watch any HSR content since the Luofu story ended, as I've gotten really burned out from the not great story, grinding a lot and some IRL things (and I'm not planning to come back because of the lack of time), and neither do I watch any WuWa content (from the lack of time again, and I feel like I would need to invest quite some time to enjoy it properly - feel free to correct me about that). However, I feel like you should post whatever you're comfortable with. I strongly wish that people leaving hate and negative comments for no reason stopped doing it; at the end of the day, it's your channel, you do whatever you want on it and with it. I'll still follow your Genshin content, especially your YLYL series, but I wish you the best for everything you wish to do!
I discovered bran's channel way back on his genshin demo reactions and ever since then i've always looked forward on your videos. It's pretty sad that you won't cover HSR now, well I guess that's just how it is, I personally loved your reactions on HRS contents tho. Still it would be nice if you still upload some HSR contents like trailer reactions and animated shorts stuff like that :>
I'd dare to say that WuWa will remain the smaller community for now, but honestly, I hope you are right eventually. The smaller the community the less problems and less people being toxic, so good grief.
I'm glad to see you brought this up because seeing the comments made in that hsr video was disappointing. Tbh i personally didn't enjoy penacony as much as other ppl. But some of these ppl tends to get agitated when others don't enjoy hsr stories which is ridiculous. Wuwa is ok-ish for me. I'm playing it more like a side game for now. Anw do what you feel is best for you Bran! I'd rather you enjoy playing a game rather than being forced to. I'm just glad you still have as much love for genshin even now. Can't wait for your videos when Natlan comes out!
Personally, I'm losing interest in hsr because I'm just not that invested in the story, I don't feel attached to really any of the characters, and I find it's combat really basic, it's pretty much a very watered down version of the combat from the Trails series. And while genshin has it's issues I've never been uninterested in its lore and characters, and despite the lack of endgame content, I still have so much motivation to play it compared to hsr
@@AriesSheep this! I'm usually a linear + slight open world exploration kind of gamer. Like ff7 remake. And I do love turnbased games like suikoden or persona. But hsr doesn't appeal me as much. Like the gameplay is great but I'm just not into the story. I thought it'd be like Genshin since I started that way too and only got invested ard inazuma. Till now hsr characters just haven't grown on me as much even though I simp a few like blade or ratio. I do still like hsr story but not as much as I like genshin.
Penacony was very dissapointing overall. I didn’t enjoy the story as much and I really didn’t get that feeling that this was a space adventure. It felt like it took place in 1940s new york or something. I’m just hoping we get more sci fi looking planets moving forward.
Won't be watching anything non-Genshin related, but I think that you absolutely should continue playing what you want to play. Nothing wrong with liking more than 1 game.
yeah same. I hate WuWa only because of the fans (they were already so insufferable only a few days after it came out and ruined the game for me) so I won't watch anything that's not Genshin. I used to also watch his HSR videos, but I understand that he doesn't want to upload them anymore. it's his channel and he should enjoy playing the games.
@@anamiosonami so you hate peoplke because the like another similar game than Genshin and can cryticaly say that Genshin need improve omg grow up please.
@@anamiosonamiWell those people are no other then genshin burnout and also genshin haters why they hate i think you know well game itself is good but there are problems
@@anamiosonami dont hate the game because the community man, gaming comunity always toxic, not always at gacha related game doe, like gaming in general But please do keep in mind always enjoy the game without joining their community, dont let any toxic ppl dictate you, they always ruin everything tbh (not only in wuwa but in all games it's the same, even genshin can't escape the same toxic player behavior which will ends up messing the game and other player)
W video! Giving the maintenance of your HSR account to someone else and doing the story whenever you feel like it - is the best decision you could've made imo. It's sad to see the game disappear from the main channel completely though and I would personally love it to pop out here and there with no particular schedule in mind. But if that's not the case - you always have a second channel to upload entire VODs to - and that'd work too tbh. Glad to see those things be addressed so quickly branonLove
In all honesty, I don't know if I'm alone in this but I prefer to see both positive and negative opinions on games. As a student studying game design, watching negative opinions tells me a lot about what to avoid and also escape my own bias towards the game. I like your opinions and reactions in general, I started watching your Star rail contents but now found myself rewatching your Genshin contents. So I would be really sad if I can't watch your reactions on youtube anymore since Twitch doesn't keep vods.
I’d say do whatever you truly want to do. I’ve been incredibly busy since the start of this year with school and now with my exams so I completely dropped HSR and never even checked out WUWA. I still play Genshin when I have time and I’ll probably go back to playing HSR in the summer, but at least for me, Genshin is the only content that I consistently watch on your channel, so I hope you continue to play it!
One thing that I have learned in life is you need to do what you enjoy, and not necessarily be a people pleaser. I have learned this the hard way by putting other people ahead of my own mental health and happiness. I don't want to ramble too long, and from what I have seen you already know this Bran, but you can't make everyone happy, so do what you can for your own mental health, what you enjoy and what you are passionate about. It is other peoples choice if they want to watch or not. Sadly, it is also their choice how they treat you, but that is what blocking is for. For me personally, you seem like a very genuine person, and because of that you are probably my favorite CC at the moment. So keep doing you, as you are an inspiration to many.
Good update. Watched the 2.2 quest on stream and had to quit halfway, so this is an expected update. Am likely not tuning in to the Wuwa content since I'm only interested in the "educational" stuff for now, but I'm always eager to seeing you play through Genshin SQ/AQ. Thanks on you for being honest with us and if you do play some more HSR on stream, I hope it tickles your fancy more than 2.2 did. Hopefully getting a more well-rounded account will make it far more enjoyable.
I started watching your Genshin content a few years ago and you introduced me to the story and lore side of Genshin that I didnt know anything about before that and now I watch all kind of different lore channels on youtube all the time and it has made the game way more fun for me. I particularly love watching you play and react to the new archon quests and story quests and am always excited when I see you have a new video uploaded! Thank you for all the content and enjoyment you have provided myself and all your other fans and good luck in the future!
Man your opinions valid. And people need to respect that. In all honesty I really do understand cause it took me hours to finish the 2.2 story. It WAS a lot of talking and it took so long. People need to understand that theres more than one opinion. I just wish you the best of luck with everything
Hey man, MystifiedComet here used to catch your streams all the time glad you're doing well mate. I agree with this don't feel pressured mate, I'm a working chef juggling the 3 games and having a BLAST doing so casually, so couldn't imagine the pressure of having to make content on all 3, it would ruin the fun so do what you enjoy, and we'll enjoy it with you :) love the content and seeing you grow bud, keep it up and have a damn good time doing it :)
Oh and side note, sorry to hear about the hate man, get it all the time in hospitality haha, children will be children at the end of the day so keep your head up and enjoy your time with the people you love mate
i like your reactions, and more of story reactions because you are a lore person. i like to rewatch the story of other people to see watch they think, they feel, sometimes what they noticed that I didn't notice... just play what u like Bran. What's the point of doing something you don't like/don't have fun with?
I'd love to still see HSR story content! Been following since you start genshin! (I also start genshin around the same time as you) and love your content bran! Ofc most people and also my advice is to just ignore the disrespectful comments, but obviously that only works to some degree, so I would respect your choice. I would suggest may be you could upload your streams instead! (in a 2nd channel or may be you could also multi stream to youtube also). Because while I'm probably in the minority here, I just can't catch your stream since I live in SEA and just time zone don't align.
I feel so too :) it’s nice to see the hsr story from another perspective sometimes, cuz it contributes quite a lot to how someone understands the story :) ❤
I remember first coming on your channel when you were first playing Genshin impact. So i sticked around and watched you grow and now being sponsored and actually making a decent living out of this. 3 games is definitely a lot to do especially when they are as huge as those 3. So keep enjoying what you do and proceed the way you find will be best for you. The fans of these games can become a bit competitive and toxic, but it's something that you are navigating pretty well. Also, I like that you specifically said that the voice direction in Wuwa has to be better since they could have the best VAs in the world, they will still sound bad without a voice director. Wishing you the best.
TLDR: I respect you and like your content and support your decision and opinion. I remember hopping from Genshin CC stream to Genshin CC stream. I still have streamers/youtubers whose content is close to my heart - and for most of them, I try to catch their stream. If I recall correctly, I found your Twitch and RUclips because of the archon quest and story quest playthroughs. All I'm gonna say is, although you mostly cover Genshin (and now Wuthering Waves), I don't think I followed you on Twitch and started being there in the chat solely because of what games you play. I remember laughing my heart out during the Lethal Company streams, watching back the horror and the DDLC highlights and all in all just enjoying my time I spent with chat. For me, the most important is that you enjoy what you're doing. Of course, there are always bad days, struggles, etc., but if you feel like a part of them can be avoided if you don't cover content like HSR, I totally understand and support it. I'm just one of the many viewers, but I think your wellbeing is top priority and I don't want you to feel pressured to do things you don't feel the motivation/interest to do, or get mean, disrespectful comments because of your opinion.
It's been a weird trio of games for me, and each has their pros and cons. Genshin simply has me hooked. I'm invested in the story, still love exploring and don't even mind the grind. HSR from what I've seen has a great story, lots of fun little puns, great characters, animation and music. But I stopped playing it months ago because the combat and exploration just don't do it for me. The grind really just was one frustrating stretch of boredom. WuWa has promise. Exploring and most combats are pretty fun. But the characters and story just don't grab me at all. I find myself just skipping and clicking past most conversations, many of which feel way too long.
You have really good points on things you comment on. It is really cool how much I agree with you when I watch your reactions after doing quests myself. Do what you want to do❤
I honestly love your content! Hsr for me personally is a game thats really hard to understand. I could never be as regular with it as i am with genshin since release. Same with wuwa, i want to play it, but rarely hsr. Love you bran! Keep up the good work and take care of yourself!
Wuwas act 6 was a huge miss for me, none of the scenes felt impactful, since there was no real buildup, i hope the story and the game in general will improve so i don't feel like i'm playing worse genshin
Yeah, everyone kept hyping up Act 5 and 6 and it ended up being a huge letdown for me. The whole thing was messy and convoluted with terrible voiceover / voice direction work. I'm still playing the game because I want to like it, but if the story doesn't get better quickly then I won't be able to stay for long.
Thank you for clearing this out, and yes people do sometimes forget that youtubers have their opinions too. Feel free to upload in your own pcae and contents that you enjoy. cheers.🥳
Bran, this is anny_annye, do whatever you like. People that really enjoy you will stay for you not because of the games. Your videos are amazing, your personality and how you marked everyone is so great. My english is not the best I'm sorry If its hard to understand, I am from brazil haha. however do what you like, don't make because of pression. me as one of your fans will stay here for you because I enjoy your content and you itself
I honestly don‘t enjoy WuWa and I found your channel back then when you started playing Genshin. I really like how exited you always are for the content that comes out and you are one of the few CC that also sees the good side of a patch and not only the negative. People are hating these days just because and it‘s getting quite overwhelming and I only open twitter to see fanart.
This is my question that I've always wondered. Does the audience influence a content creators enjoyment of the game. Like I watch Bran for Bran. Thoreal Paris himself lol. Doesn't matter what game you play/enjoy. I'll be there.
Bran I love to see your reactions to all Genshin/Honkai stuff (I'm just getting into WuWa too) and I always watch your playthrough of the main stories once I played them. It's a great way for me to recap and also to see another point of view of what's going on. I truly think it all only makes sense though if you yourself are enjoying the stories you're playing through. If Star Rail's story is just not clicking with you then there's no point to push yourself to enjoy it. Your time is precious so wanting to spend it on things you whole heartedly enjoy makes complete sense :) I think your plan to go forward with focus on Genshin and WuWa and having recaps of HSR is sound. In any case just create your content in the way you want to create it. Don't let the haters get to you. You're such force of positivity and being reasonable (even in an environment where people get invested emotionally and so opinions get spicy), please just keep doing what you're doing :)
I always appreciate your approach when it comes to opinions and how communicative you are with other people. It's really refreshing to see. As for what you should do - I think you should simply do what you think is right and see how it turns out for now. :)
Hmm, when you were discussing story quests for genshin on twitch stream you said you most likely will upload them to your second channel without much editing, so maybe you can do the same with star rail? Like just take the vod and upload it on youtube?
In my opinion, on a conversation and engagement (and what it should be) is at its peak when we talk back and forth about the things we both/all enjoy and mutually agree OR when we have a conversation about things we dont mutually agree while respecting and understanding that we can have different opinions on things Ive come across some people who arent willing to understand my opinions and just try to be disrespectful, i felt much better to lower our ego and shut up rather than keep the conversation going which sometimes lead to straight up hate
I'm glad you're taking this positively and that my comment on the hsr video helped even slightly and I'm glad for this update. What I wanna say though even if it's just streaming, the issue was that you weren't pacing yourself (as you said you were under pressure and you had to finish certain content forthe sake of other content which is 100% understandable) and that caused you to slightly not enjoy it. So what I'm suggesting is that even if it's just streaming, please pace yourself through the content of the games in general. You were getting almost the same exact comments live on stream as you were on the RUclips upload. So the problem wasn't RUclips vs streaming. It was the content itself. So what I'm saying is, don't play HSR when you don't feel like it just because there's an update or people are rushing/spoiling you. Play when you feel like you miss it or just wanna try something different on a random day or smth. Like just chill with it whenever you like and whenever you have other content that you're more excited about play that until you feel excited about HSR enough and then come back and so on. It doesn't have to be regular or on a schedule. Games are meant to be enjoyed and played not dreaded and planned. So just make the content that you're 100% happy creating. Your happiness and enjoyment affects us too. And I'm here to support you all the way, I'm here for Genshin mostly too so I'll hang around your lives as usual! Thanks Bran for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do this!
I appreciate your candor in sharing where you are with all of this... At the end of the day you need to do what works for you, especially where mental health is concerned. I feel like I'm in a directly opposite place... I have been burnt out HARD on Genshin pretty much since 4.0, haven't found Fontaine very inspiring... I LOVE a lot of the characters and WQs but the AQs have been slogs to get through, especially the 4.0 court cases and the running around in circles making widgets in Meropide... Wuthering Waves has been a non-starter for me, I tried but due to a tendon/reflex issue I just am not built for the quick trigger parry mechanics that are involved in the combat. But HSR is where my mind is constantly, I adored pretty much all of Penacony... We all have our own tastes ofc :D
TBH I came about your content through Genshin, but I love everything you've done since I followed you regardless of what it is. I know it's a difficult thing to ignore especially when there's always that vocal minority, but keep on keeping on! For every negative Nancy there's always 100 or more folks that'll support you.
HSR probably will try to salvage luofu arc later, I've no idea what's new about genshin now, I can't play 3 grinding game at once, and I hope wuwa slow down on releasing new character.
I saved 60 pull with 15 in normal gacha still saving to guarantee tho after all if i keep saving might be a chance to e6 a character if i play long enough
Loufu story is terrible because Chinese government pushed Mihoyo to add the China planet. Thats why its hard to make a good story due to their propaganda.
I think they will come back to the usual 6 week release time schedule on Wuthering Waves because they had to bring the schedule early due to ZZZ being early so Kuro games would like to bring back without issue
@@Yewrenegade i think its because kuro wants to focus on optimalization first and not want to be bothered by banner (but not the event somehow, shout out to kuro devs they working extra hard), so thats why they got 18 days to optimalize the game, its my opinion doe CMIIW
I was watching you when you were uploading demo reactions and i just came back to see what happened to you and i gotta say you had a humongous glow up damnnnn
Rlly appreciate this video! If uploading hsr story content has been more stressful than anything else then I fully support you dropping it (not that my opinion or other's opinion alone should force you to doing something you don't want) will be missing ur stuff for it but im sure most would rather see you play games you enjoy than not. Have always appreciated your attention to the story with Genshin ever since you started as it's often overlooked by others, but it's the game's job to hook you in first, if it doesn't that's not on you and that's ok. Glad to see you branching out from genshin as well!! Im a genshin hoe so im not leaving for some time lol but I do think it's good to not narrow your options. Not every patch is gonna hit afterall. tldr; you should feel free to play whatever games you want and drop whatever games you want.
How sad that many people can be so rude. Everyone has the right to an opinion but they also must respect the opinions of others. I support you all the way Bran. You are a fab content creator that got me into genshin a long time ago!!
Good on you. I had to download Blocktube extension so I can still watch Genshin creators but block channels like Tectone & Gachasmack who wont stop drama-baiting. RUclips is so much better now
Kinda sad youre not gonna be posting the story playthroughs on your Channel anymore, guess I'm gonna go see if you have a Vod channel or tune in to the streams. I really liked how honest your opinion felt towards the story of HSR despite it differing from my own occasionally and looking forward to seeing your wuwa content.
Idk if you're reading this, but do what you want. And the things that make you happy. Playing multiple games is too much to focus on, plus there's lots of irl things to do too and have life to focus on and not 24/7 playing games. Taking a break for a while also a good thing. So play at your own pace. If it was too much, drop some things down and do the things that you can carry, and not forcing yourself. Hate and negative comments are always there, but instead of leaving they still stick around to talk more shit. Smh. So ignore all those comments and better not to read them at all.
Hi! Personally i follow only genshin content mostly because it's the only game i can play with a certain perseverance. Also thanks for your transparency, peace
I remember watching you when you was like 2 or 3k subs reacting and playing Genshin/HSR and now your channel has grown big! Being a CC (especially big one) must not be easy at all, so do what you think is most suitable for you! I'll support you all the way :>
I feel a lot of people struggle with posting Honkai Starrail in general and most the video i see are fighting videos, which tbh most of the content in hsr is fighting and as you post the story of hsr ofc the very opinionated people will respond and fight back. I believe for context creators is hard to post hsr as what get the most veiws( haven't done research on this, just what shiws up in MY recommended) is pulling and moc videos. I believe playing hsr for YOUR enjoyment is the best option especially if you felt pressured to finish the story. I trust your decisions and respect them as you should do what makes you happy! Quick question will you post shorts of "funny" moments for hsr or just no hsr content at all?
@BranOnline - you're lovely. your videos have made my enjoyment of these games grow. I love them more because of you. Please do whats right by you! Personally I trust your judgement!
I think it’s fine to just focus on what you like. This is the year of Wuwa and if you are enjoying it then play it! After firefly hsr gonna slow down, nothing wrong w taking a break personally im not playing hsr or genshin rn its overwhelming lol. Might come back later
Awe, I just finished watching your Natlan journey and was looking for your honkai stuff and trying to figure out where it went. This make sense... I need to find your twitch now...
We love you Bran!! ❤❤You should play what you love... and we'll always support you. Thank you for being so honest with your audience, especially from what we saw in the 2.2 Honkai Star Rail Video. This feels like a protective community really sheltered from all the controversies and drama, and you keep it 100% real and positive. Just play what you find enjoyable for yourself and we'll enjoy it too!
Glad to still hear you staying with genshin. I sooo wish i had your interest in WuWa. i have tried the game like a dozen times but i cant find anything that keeps me interested. I keep hearing creators and people praising the combat so much but when i play it, it feels dull, 1d and lifeless, which makes me feel like im playing it wrong or something. Im sure its nothing to that level but i can understand if some of those feelings are for you in HSR. As it stands it will be fun to watch your content for genshin~
Honestly I was just excited to see ur reaction on the 2.2 story and albeit I was kinda sad that you didnt enjoy it as much as everyone did but hey thats your own opinion. Id love to see HSR content but if twitch is the way to get it then twitch I go. Hope you to keep playing what you find fun and enjoyable, best of luck Bran!!
I feel you man, even as a non content creator, it does feel horrible to get bombarded with hate comments for just sharing your opinion. Btw you're the second CC that I watch that is "quitting" (I know it isnt really quitting) HSR and I hope it doesnt become a trend lol.
Im actually so happy to hear this. I was getting worried you and some others were getting overwhelmed. The pressure to constantly react to something doesnt help either. Looking forward to whatever you do next!
I still think you're the best, even though there's a language barrier for me, you're the first one I started watching on genshin. therefore, I will be glad to see any layout and content
We'll, I subscribed for the Genshin content. But you hooked me to Wuthering Waves. Genshin plus Wuthering Waves is a very nice thing for me as I love both games. The criticisms are valid and I'm okay with you complaining things about games coz I know I'll have the same problem as you when I reach those part of both games.
Would having a VOD channel be fine? I still enjoy watching your playthroughs of HSR but viewing past broadcasts on Twitch isn't the best based on my experience.
I've contemplated vod channels before but being completely transparent here, it's a lot of storage space and time to download/upload vods etc. and something I just don't know if I'd want to commit to right now. And I already have 2 editors and a thumbnail editor so bringing someone else on rn isn't really an option. I did post a pinned comment re: star rail stuff
There is absolutely nothing wrong with focusing more on content you enjoy simply because you enjoy it and I'm glad you are taking the time to find that balance. Just means we are going to have nothing but banger videos coming out. Enjoy yourself
I support your decisions about content and i also have a nice fact to share with you: Sometimes I feel like not liking particular story quest or devs stream, but then, if in your video you sincerely enjoy said quest or stream, i actually start seeing some positive moments in it. And i want to say thank you for that :>
Anyone saying your opinion is wrong really misses what an opinion is. But respectful discourse is important. You should do what is fun for you, watching you have fun is great. I do also appreciate honest takes that I may not share, but that’s me 😁
i noticed the difference between your genshin and HSR reaction. and its totally fine, just do what you enjoy. for me personally, the penacony story is one of the best piece of story in any Rpg i've played. and i dont even have the full context of previous honkai games. but i also enjoy genshin story just as much, and its just getting better and better. as for Wuwa, its hit and miss for me story wise partly because of the bugs that actually lessen my enjoyment to the story. but hey its still 1.0, we'll see what the devs cookin. why do i need to choose 1 when i can like all of them? right?
I felt the same about Penacony quest Bran! I returned to the game after a few months and it was required to finish the story to play the event. So I speedran the whole thing from 2.0 and it was SO LONG. Everyone talked like a textbook and the pacing felt awful. "Are you ready to fight the boss? Well it's time for a 20 minute story first!" Cutscenes were great though. That was just my experience anyway.
Thank you for the transparency Bran, I appreciate an update video like this a lot regarding your thoughts on how to move forward with your content. I just want to say that you're my favorite content creator and I always look forward to your videos (or lives if I happen to catch you live). I play and love all three games and usually wait for your reactions to their stories as soon as I finish them myself. While my focuses are on HSR and Wuthering Waves, that's even better because it means I can watch and enjoy Genshin story or events by watching your channels instead. Yeah it sucks that our preference isn't the same since I can't do the same with HSR but that's just life, everyone's preferences on these games are different and that's okay. So yeah, I think it's a good idea to give your account to someone for building characters and just play HSR in your own time whenever you feel like it. Or reacting to HSR cutscenes as you've mentioned, is a pretty good idea as well. In any case, I'll be following and appreciating your content as usual!
Thanks Bran for being honest, much better to be transparent than force yourself to do something because you feel the need to and not have fun. Honestly, as much as people hyped and loved the Penacony story, in my opinion, I think the 2.2 was a bit lackluster. Maybe it's because of people over hyping this planet too much, but for me aventurine's part was too long, the fake ending with sunday was so abrupt then it throws you again into so much yapping before the final act, and all the hype is gone even though the sunday boss fight was really cool.
"2.2 was a bit lackluster" "but for me aventurine's part was too long" Bro What... You say 2.2 was bit lackluster and immediately mention something that isn't even 2.2
@@Blackout_ I just mentioned 2.2 but before I said the aventurine part, I was talking about this planet and penacony story. Thats my fault bad sentence structure lol but If you want me to say it, yes, including 2.1, it was longer than it should be.
You arent wrong honestly, if 2.2 was split into two it would be an amazing ending imo. Its still great but by hour 11 or 12 I was half waiting to be done. I do hope you will still cover hsr even if you do it on your own way, I love seeing your story playthroughs.
Honestly, until a while ago, I thought you were one of those "genshin good boys" and never expected you to be so transparent. Love to see it. You are not the only one, having to make a decision regarding which games you play and which ones you have to put on the bench. I myself dropped genshin for a similar reason when wuwa came out. Although I was getting bored of it regardless, because from the start, I enjoyed building and using characters more than anything else. And eventually I realized that's not what the game is actually about. Also, after experiencing combat AND movement in wuwa I just can't go back lol. I still enjoy Star Rail because I feel like it focuses a bit more on the combat related content which makes building new characters very fun. It's also very time efficient. You can do your dailies in like 5 min. on your phone if you want.
@@mangshu21 What does that have to do anything with what I said? I brought no hate to either game, and just simply expressed my opinion. I never even mentioned power creep. Why are you trying to make a problem out of nothing?
To be completely honest, when I pick CC to watch (and I watch CC rarely, because there's only so much time I have anyway), I always just prefer when the creator - whoever they may be - feel like their not stressed and just playing what they want, and that's completely true here. Live and let live, and take care of your mental health. And for the viewers, they'll adapt.
I think the decision with HSR is entirely fair and valid. The HSR community can be something else if you don't 100% love every minute of whatever new content is out and that's a lot to constantly deal with - however that's a different conversation to have. I love your Genshin content on the whole, I'm not particularly interested in WuWa - but I wish you all the luck with WuWa content and I hope you continue to enjoy it!
It's the same for every community. Try to talk online about anything negative concerning Genshin, and multiple people will show up to threaten you like they are defending their lives. It's a curse of a big community, unfortunately. Content creators just have it worse because they cannot hide in the comments but really put their faces out there
@@So_Viet8032 Tectone exists because people love drama, farming and outrage. He bounces from wherever he can get content. I have blocked him and a multitude of his little fanbase because I refuse to interact with them.
@@sara_s1737 Oh for sure. I'm far from saying that the Genshin community is well-behaved or in anyway less toxic. I've just recently had some really "interesting" takes from people concerning Penacony/2.2 in particular that are.... something else. I was responding to the HSR part of the video because that's the content that's being mostly affected by the toxicity on Bran's 2.2 video. If it seemed like I was absolving the Genshin community of wrong doing - my apologies because that's so far from the truth.
the reason I subs to your channel is because you're the only youtuber I really enjoy rewatching your Genshin Quest and your opinion. Please take care of your health bro.
Hmm, how would people feel about an end of patch recap on star rail story? Instead of 8+ hours of footage, maybe a 15-30 min video on main cutscene reactions with explanations of what happens in between? Maybe I just need to try a different STYLE of star rail content. unsure yet, lmk thoughts
That would be nice. Like a condensed moments for the entire story. Even scuffs during that stream would bring humour.
I think many of us would love to see some random hsr moments tho 😅. Not rushing contents or some cc quality stuff but vibing and play it at the pace you like and just be silly overall
I think I'd like that since I mostly just skip to the hype cutscene parts for the reaction instead of the monologues xD
I like this idea!
That would be great
You gotta take care of your mental man. I appreciate the transparency and Im excited to see what you have for all of us in the future!
It's cool to see different CCs supporting each other!
Doro is here!?!
…. Smash…
True, be careful that you don't burn yourself out man
This is how the community should be supporting each other...W Doro and W Bran..👍
well if he decide not to do Honkai Star Rail contents, that's his lost, we watch your instead hahaha
Just upload whatever you feel comfortable with and don't feel pressured to play/do something just because others want to see your reaction to it
That profile picture gave me a jumpscare....
This! Also, horrifying Pfp btw man, would definitely appreciate it if you can change it
Aww I like seeing the reactions, but maybe not each and every content of the games, that sounds exhausting for everyone 😮. Also you upload whatever profile pic you feel comfortable with 😂
True, all the genshills pressuring him to play a dead game😂, actual kids they cant form their own opinion so they need someone else to help the with that😂😂
@@YOUHUOUGGHHH you do realize he enjoys genshin and wants to continue uploading genshin reaction/story content? his main obstacle is being enthusiastic about Honkai Star Rail, so don't hate for the sake of hating honey.
Thank you, Bran, for being truthful and unapologetic about your likes and dislikes. Personally, I'm a big fan of your insights when you watch/play something, and I know enjoying what you do is essential for that. I hope you will manage to curate the type of community that respects this.
I'm a human from Asia, I've been following you on RUclips for a long time, and I enjoy what you your content, keep it up, live it and enjoy what you find fun.🙌
Shout out to all humans watching Bran.🎉
Hi human! I am human too. Nice to meet you☺️😊
Hi human 👽
It's nice to see fellow humans watching Bran! 🤍🤍
@@abhishekbhattacharyya2950 haha 😄
It's all in the wording. Someone can say "this game just isn't for me", and no one can argue with that. But when they say "this game sucks" that's just not true. None of these games "suck" that's obvious because they all make millions of dollars. One game might fit someone's interests or play style better than others. That doesn't mean one "sucks" and the other is great. I'm probably quitting Wuwa. Not because it sucks. It just hasn't grabbed my interest and I log on and look at the things there are to do and I still have plenty I could do I haven't even completed more than 2 character stories yet. But I'm like...nah, and I turn it back off. I'll wait for some of these other new games that are coming or wait it out for the next patch ot two. This isn't a kuro vs hoyo thing. I burned out on HSR too in a few weeks. Turn based combat just wasn't fun for me. HSR is obviously an awesome game but not for me.
Extremely well said and I wish more people looked at games (and the world in general) the way that you do. Cheers!
I think it's okay to say something sucks as long as it's not like biased or double standard like. If someone says genshin sucks cause like the artifact grinding sucks yet wuwa and SR has that exact same problem then it okay to call out. But still agree with you cause we are having this problem in a discord server I'm in with wuwa vs genshin cause people are saying you can do all this and that which some of it like running up walls and a grapple is nice but some of the combat from what I've seen is okay not as deep and people make it out to be but to say genshin combat is too casual is a bad thing is one those major things I disagree with cause sometimes you just need that really casual experience it's like going to a cod game not everyone just wants to go try hard and put effort in some people just wanna chill and have a good time
Same fellow traveller. I have an irl freind who I got into genshin and who later begged me into playing hsr when it came out which I sadly while I know its an amazing game, as an open game exploration addict (heck i 100%ed GTA V, skyrim, most early AC games and even genshin map at the time of this comment) I couldn't at all feel invested playing turn based games since I bought and stop midway of playing the 1st ever pokemon red. My freind is still a big hsr player while he rarely plays genshin anymore as he was always into that style of game more and I dropped hsr early while still playing genshin almost daily but the 2 of us still chat alot about the 2 games and especially if any fun characters/story changes happen and we even sometimes share our accounts so each of us get to try the new characters/mechanics of the 2 games.
I get its not black&white and many many ppl like playing both but im sharing my story as to show its normal to like a game but not be a fan of the daily gameplay like what bran is saying
Great comment. I too feel this way, as I don't play hsr, not because I hate the game, or think it's bad, but I simply just don't like turn-based systems. But even then I genuinly respect how the devs have made so many qol changes and the character designs look great. The story seems great from what I've heard too, so I hope people who enjoy the game keep getting the content they like.
I have to agree. Penacony couldn't hold my attention. Genshin and WuWa however I enjoy a lot not just as a lore person but I love exploring and discovering things. No amount of rewards can make me invested or stay if I'm not enjoying something I leave, pretty simple really.
I totally respect your opinions on HSR and I have my ups and downs with it as well. I'm more invested in Genshin and Wuthering Waves and have spent the last couple weeks trying to keep up with both because I am already a Genshin lover but WuWa really has pulled me in. I think you should just upload what brings you joy and makes you happy, Bran. One of my favorite things about you is how genuine and honest you are about something whether it's a story, gameplay or whatever. I am most entertained when I see you enjoying a game and just having fun with it. I've enjoyed your content since first finding your Genshin demos reaction. You're a breath of fresh air in this community and I appreciate the fun content you put out. Thank you, Bran!
I love your videos!!
Tenha 🔥🔥
I love you both
I watch anyone as long as it's not Ltone the Dramafarmer.
We also love yours Tenha 👍.
Streamers in my country are also starting to do the same thing. Not because HSR is bad or anything but most of them think that HSR is better played off-stream. They just don't think the game is suitable for streaming.
Because the game is just repetitive, its good for guys like us, but for content creators… not so much. Imagine having to act or say something when what you’re doing is the literal same exact thing 30 minutes ago. Its totally hellish to use it as your main content.
Honestly. Its just too boring to watch
@@Arunika1 tbf genshin is also repetitive and wuwa is going to be repetitive when people hit the endgame (is still a few months to reach but, if you whale, you can reach it very soon and thats the case with a LOT of streamers)
@@lNealXI mean all games are if you play them to death.
@@lNealX pretty much, watching most WuWa streams are already boring. It’s just the same as Genshin now, watching CCs beat up easy mobs but for Holos instead of just only for materials to over played non-game music.
It makes me a bit bitter that some CCs can’t play variety anymore after consuming the desired Gacha content because of the drop in viewers who only want Gacha just chatting streams.
What i got from this video is Content creating is fckin stressful im actual surprised this guy still has his hair and not balding lol
Thank god for genetics

@@jlacsagun 100%. I envy his hair so much
bran i love the transparency you have on your channel :)! I mostly enjoy the content where i see that you enjoy yourself, so focus on what makes you happy. I also enjoy the content where we as a community can discuss and exchange different perspectives, but its sad that this isnt always in the most constructive in the commentsection. If it takes a toll on your psyche, its good to take a break from it and i look forward into your insight on stream whenever i can catch you there!
Honestly, if we evaluate all three games in the quickest way, HSR will be very suitable for those who are passionate about the turn-based genre, and for those who are passionate about exploration, genshin and WW will be a good choice
Correct. And comparing the three, HSR is the most mobile friendly for those quick runs like finishing energy/resin runs. With auto battle, sometimes you can just click and let it run while you do other things like checking email and whatnot.
Genshin and WuWa needs more time to sit and play through even just for daily commisions
HSR is also good for those who are working on the spot and wanted to do some playing without taking too much time. The auto farm is really a god send, can't imagine myself doing open world games during work hours..
For me it started from liking the story and the characters first and then I started liking the turn based part
if you want exploration genshin is literally anti that. So slow and no grapples. Wuwa is so much faster and better in pretty much every aspect of the game.
@@YOUHUOUGGHHHLook at your comment history you are so miserable. Get some help. Encore will not sleep with you weirdo. 🤣
I haven't watched a single WuWa video on your channel because i don't like WuWa. But i also didn't post hate comments on those videos. It's the CC that i love, the content he makes is another deal
Based
If you don’t mind me asking, what don’t you like about wuthering waves?
@@gamingmango7017 Can I say that I don't know why exactly? I played it and was overjoyed by the continuous rewards. But I deleted it today. And don't think that I'm a Genshill. Because I'm an HI3 fan. WuWa just didn't do it for me. Maybe because I didn't find it unique enough to invest my time in it
@StrongestHumanAlive
I get that! I did the same with HSR. Like, I didn't find anything bad with that game, I just didn't continue playing it, and the uninstalled it.
@@StrongestHumanAliveyeah,i mean you're a genshin player, of course you'd be allergic to good games.
I remember following you as soon as I saw your reaction to Genshin's beginnings, the genuine excitement and interest were a delight to see 😂❤ after all this time, I watch you for you while yes, I do hope you explore more than Genshin as long as you genuinely enjoy it.
Now this is the kind of creator genshin needs. He really likes the game, but is still critical of it as seen from other videos. And of course he is entertaining
As someone who has played all three games (HSR, Genshin, and WuWa), here's my opinion:
Play whatever you want and enjoy whatever you want. I'm going to say it right now: these three games are totally different in general (story, pacing, characters, etc.). Just so you know, "disliking something is totally fine, but talking shit about what others enjoy is dunderhead behavior." I still find it really ridiculous that there's so much hate and conflict between fandoms. To those who start unnecessary online wars, you are the problematic and immature ones. Grow up and stop being so biased.
you say that but when genshills attack wuwa you say nothing. But when we rightfully criticize genshin, you go and defend it. Mint picking activity
@@YOUHUOUGGHHH80 % of wuwa players are ex genshin player and genshin hater both the wuwa and genshin community are shit they act the same lol wuwa community cannot live without shitting on genshin and genshin cannot live without criticizing wuwa. Can we be a good person and enjoy the game. People are taking fiction little too seriously. Like mentally ill people 😂

Honestly bran, it's fun to watch you when you're having fun. So if the gameplay and character building of hsr is not fun for you, then it makes sense if you have someone else do it for you juat so you can enjoy the story whenever you feel like doing it.
I totally understand where you are coming from with this video, and I completely agree with your decision and probably would have done the same if I were in your position. Though I can’t help but feel sad since I usually don’t get the chance to tune in to live streams and would rather watch both your reactions and another watch of the quest. It’s fun for me since you notice different things a lot and rewatching allows me to pick up on extra content I didn’t notice/skipped/ forgot to do.
Posted a pinned comment in regards to similar comments about being a youtube only viewer!
As someone who enjoys long and talkative quests (i feel like im watching a movie and its chill) i can absolutely see why someone else may not enjoy them and thats fine! Ive been watching for a few years now and really enjoy all of the content you put out - as long as its content you enjoy your reactions and videos are always great, feel no pressure as to what you should upload, people like me will keep on watching for your genuine reactions and overall videos :)
When the stroy is good, I'll read, when is repetitive or unnecessary dialogues, I just speedread it or just skip, for example genshin character quests are supposed to be about the character not about the npcs, for example, Arleccino was good for learning about her past, why she did the stuff and we also got a really good bossfight, and Nilou quest was about fixing the family issues of a random npc.
in my case, and i'm the person who enjoys long quests, the issue was with the pacing. Like for example, we could've went straight to the Grand Theater and confront Sunday, but nooo, you're gonna sit through this 1 hour long, last minute Trailblazer x Firefly bonding on a reality tv show that's awkwardly shoehorned into the story, completely disrupting it's flow. And don't even get me started on the bird analogy and Sunday's monologuing leading up to the final boss - it really felt like the writers were following the "say it louder for the people in the back" rule, so as someone who understood Sunday's pov from the getgo, having to sit through his monologuing was REALLY tiring
So you have autism? Typical hoyoshill
people need to learn other people have opinions as well. You are so valid Bran! I will continue to follow you even if you upload non genshin related content. I think you are a very entertaining creator and that is what matters!
I'd love to still see HSR story content
I totally understand where your coming from. I like genshin more than star rail too and if your not enjoying it then just don't worry about uploading those videos. Just do what you think is fun! :) I look forward to your future content, Bran.
I have played genshin since the beginning and I was never into watching genshin content creators and your ylyl videos introduced your channel to me. But I am now one of those people who open your channel everyday to see if there's a new video. I have also joined some streams and the one thing I love the most about your videos was you enjoying everything. You enjoyed Genshin a lot and watching you enjoy made me enjoy. That 2.2.honkai star rail video was difficult for me to watch and I understood from the begining that you were already spoiled and you weren't enjoying as much. For me when I played the quest, that part when we lost to Sunday but thought we won was the best part of the story and they did it so well. Additionally, the pompom bringing the astral express was too funny. But you were spoiled so I can understand why you weren't much into it. It's like how I don't watch anime that I've read manga about. Especially those that are about the suspense and the thrill.
About the content that you want to upload, just keep uploading like you always do. One bad video doesn't mean that you should change. Although I would recommend that if you do want to bring some change, then try to upload the content that you actually enjoyed instead of every story. Love your content and want to see more during my meal times and during the times I play games to do dailies or farming.
Thank you! that's good to hear
I personally don't watch any HSR content since the Luofu story ended, as I've gotten really burned out from the not great story, grinding a lot and some IRL things (and I'm not planning to come back because of the lack of time), and neither do I watch any WuWa content (from the lack of time again, and I feel like I would need to invest quite some time to enjoy it properly - feel free to correct me about that). However, I feel like you should post whatever you're comfortable with.
I strongly wish that people leaving hate and negative comments for no reason stopped doing it; at the end of the day, it's your channel, you do whatever you want on it and with it.
I'll still follow your Genshin content, especially your YLYL series, but I wish you the best for everything you wish to do!
I discovered bran's channel way back on his genshin demo reactions and ever since then i've always looked forward on your videos. It's pretty sad that you won't cover HSR now, well I guess that's just how it is, I personally loved your reactions on HRS contents tho.
Still it would be nice if you still upload some HSR contents like trailer reactions and animated shorts stuff like that
:>
It’s a little ironic how many people thought WuWa would compete with Genshin yet somehow it’s HSR that’s being cut off by CCs the most at the moment 💀
I'd dare to say that WuWa will remain the smaller community for now, but honestly, I hope you are right eventually. The smaller the community the less problems and less people being toxic, so good grief.

@@AkashSingh-d5h yeah but he says that just now that there are more and more creators slowing down hsr, it's a remark. It wasnt the case before
I'm glad to see you brought this up because seeing the comments made in that hsr video was disappointing.
Tbh i personally didn't enjoy penacony as much as other ppl. But some of these ppl tends to get agitated when others don't enjoy hsr stories which is ridiculous.
Wuwa is ok-ish for me. I'm playing it more like a side game for now.
Anw do what you feel is best for you Bran! I'd rather you enjoy playing a game rather than being forced to.
I'm just glad you still have as much love for genshin even now. Can't wait for your videos when Natlan comes out!
Personally, I'm losing interest in hsr because I'm just not that invested in the story, I don't feel attached to really any of the characters, and I find it's combat really basic, it's pretty much a very watered down version of the combat from the Trails series. And while genshin has it's issues I've never been uninterested in its lore and characters, and despite the lack of endgame content, I still have so much motivation to play it compared to hsr
And funny enough, I prefer turn based rpgs a lot more than open world action rpgs, yet I enjoy Genshin waaay more than Hsr
@@AriesSheep this! I'm usually a linear + slight open world exploration kind of gamer. Like ff7 remake. And I do love turnbased games like suikoden or persona.
But hsr doesn't appeal me as much. Like the gameplay is great but I'm just not into the story. I thought it'd be like Genshin since I started that way too and only got invested ard inazuma. Till now hsr characters just haven't grown on me as much even though I simp a few like blade or ratio.
I do still like hsr story but not as much as I like genshin.
Penacony was very dissapointing overall. I didn’t enjoy the story as much and I really didn’t get that feeling that this was a space adventure. It felt like it took place in 1940s new york or something. I’m just hoping we get more sci fi looking planets moving forward.
Won't be watching anything non-Genshin related, but I think that you absolutely should continue playing what you want to play. Nothing wrong with liking more than 1 game.
yeah same. I hate WuWa only because of the fans (they were already so insufferable only a few days after it came out and ruined the game for me) so I won't watch anything that's not Genshin. I used to also watch his HSR videos, but I understand that he doesn't want to upload them anymore. it's his channel and he should enjoy playing the games.
@@anamiosonami so you hate peoplke because the like another similar game than Genshin and can cryticaly say that Genshin need improve omg grow up please.
@@anamiosonamiWell those people are no other then genshin burnout and also genshin haters why they hate i think you know well game itself is good but there are problems
@@anamiosonami dont hate the game because the community man, gaming comunity always toxic, not always at gacha related game doe, like gaming in general
But please do keep in mind always enjoy the game without joining their community, dont let any toxic ppl dictate you, they always ruin everything tbh (not only in wuwa but in all games it's the same, even genshin can't escape the same toxic player behavior which will ends up messing the game and other player)
@@Maja_Jstfu all 3 fandoms are insufferable anyways
W video! Giving the maintenance of your HSR account to someone else and doing the story whenever you feel like it - is the best decision you could've made imo. It's sad to see the game disappear from the main channel completely though and I would personally love it to pop out here and there with no particular schedule in mind. But if that's not the case - you always have a second channel to upload entire VODs to - and that'd work too tbh. Glad to see those things be addressed so quickly branonLove
You do whatever it is you feel you need to do my man! Mental health so important! Super excited for your future content!
In all honesty, I don't know if I'm alone in this but I prefer to see both positive and negative opinions on games. As a student studying game design, watching negative opinions tells me a lot about what to avoid and also escape my own bias towards the game.
I like your opinions and reactions in general, I started watching your Star rail contents but now found myself rewatching your Genshin contents. So I would be really sad if I can't watch your reactions on youtube anymore since Twitch doesn't keep vods.
I’d say do whatever you truly want to do. I’ve been incredibly busy since the start of this year with school and now with my exams so I completely dropped HSR and never even checked out WUWA. I still play Genshin when I have time and I’ll probably go back to playing HSR in the summer, but at least for me, Genshin is the only content that I consistently watch on your channel, so I hope you continue to play it!
One thing that I have learned in life is you need to do what you enjoy, and not necessarily be a people pleaser. I have learned this the hard way by putting other people ahead of my own mental health and happiness.
I don't want to ramble too long, and from what I have seen you already know this Bran, but you can't make everyone happy, so do what you can for your own mental health, what you enjoy and what you are passionate about. It is other peoples choice if they want to watch or not. Sadly, it is also their choice how they treat you, but that is what blocking is for.
For me personally, you seem like a very genuine person, and because of that you are probably my favorite CC at the moment. So keep doing you, as you are an inspiration to many.
Good update. Watched the 2.2 quest on stream and had to quit halfway, so this is an expected update. Am likely not tuning in to the Wuwa content since I'm only interested in the "educational" stuff for now, but I'm always eager to seeing you play through Genshin SQ/AQ.
Thanks on you for being honest with us and if you do play some more HSR on stream, I hope it tickles your fancy more than 2.2 did. Hopefully getting a more well-rounded account will make it far more enjoyable.
I started watching your Genshin content a few years ago and you introduced me to the story and lore side of Genshin that I didnt know anything about before that and now I watch all kind of different lore channels on youtube all the time and it has made the game way more fun for me. I particularly love watching you play and react to the new archon quests and story quests and am always excited when I see you have a new video uploaded! Thank you for all the content and enjoyment you have provided myself and all your other fans and good luck in the future!
I'm still binging the genshin impact playlist
Hell yeah
Man your opinions valid. And people need to respect that. In all honesty I really do understand cause it took me hours to finish the 2.2 story. It WAS a lot of talking and it took so long. People need to understand that theres more than one opinion. I just wish you the best of luck with everything
Hey man, MystifiedComet here used to catch your streams all the time glad you're doing well mate. I agree with this don't feel pressured mate, I'm a working chef juggling the 3 games and having a BLAST doing so casually, so couldn't imagine the pressure of having to make content on all 3, it would ruin the fun so do what you enjoy, and we'll enjoy it with you :) love the content and seeing you grow bud, keep it up and have a damn good time doing it :)
Oh and side note, sorry to hear about the hate man, get it all the time in hospitality haha, children will be children at the end of the day so keep your head up and enjoy your time with the people you love mate
i like your reactions, and more of story reactions because you are a lore person.
i like to rewatch the story of other people to see watch they think, they feel, sometimes what they noticed that I didn't notice...
just play what u like Bran. What's the point of doing something you don't like/don't have fun with?
Good on you for making content on what you genuinely enjoy! Makes the things you put out a lot better. Passion makes all the difference
I'd love to still see HSR story content!
Been following since you start genshin! (I also start genshin around the same time as you) and love your content bran!
Ofc most people and also my advice is to just ignore the disrespectful comments, but obviously that only works to some degree, so I would respect your choice.
I would suggest may be you could upload your streams instead! (in a 2nd channel or may be you could also multi stream to youtube also). Because while I'm probably in the minority here, I just can't catch your stream since I live in SEA and just time zone don't align.
I definitely don't think you're the minority in being unable to catch streams 💔
I feel so too :) it’s nice to see the hsr story from another perspective sometimes, cuz it contributes quite a lot to how someone understands the story :) ❤
I remember first coming on your channel when you were first playing Genshin impact. So i sticked around and watched you grow and now being sponsored and actually making a decent living out of this. 3 games is definitely a lot to do especially when they are as huge as those 3. So keep enjoying what you do and proceed the way you find will be best for you. The fans of these games can become a bit competitive and toxic, but it's something that you are navigating pretty well.
Also, I like that you specifically said that the voice direction in Wuwa has to be better since they could have the best VAs in the world, they will still sound bad without a voice director.
Wishing you the best.
I'll miss the story reactions. Btw do we still get HSR trailer/live stream reactions on the channel? (If mentioned I probably missed it)
No mention....at least I didn't hear anything about it but would like to at least get the hsr livestreams
3:32 he’s going to try and do them on stream but no RUclips upload of the quest
TLDR: I respect you and like your content and support your decision and opinion.
I remember hopping from Genshin CC stream to Genshin CC stream. I still have streamers/youtubers whose content is close to my heart - and for most of them, I try to catch their stream. If I recall correctly, I found your Twitch and RUclips because of the archon quest and story quest playthroughs.
All I'm gonna say is, although you mostly cover Genshin (and now Wuthering Waves), I don't think I followed you on Twitch and started being there in the chat solely because of what games you play. I remember laughing my heart out during the Lethal Company streams, watching back the horror and the DDLC highlights and all in all just enjoying my time I spent with chat.
For me, the most important is that you enjoy what you're doing. Of course, there are always bad days, struggles, etc., but if you feel like a part of them can be avoided if you don't cover content like HSR, I totally understand and support it. I'm just one of the many viewers, but I think your wellbeing is top priority and I don't want you to feel pressured to do things you don't feel the motivation/interest to do, or get mean, disrespectful comments because of your opinion.
It's been a weird trio of games for me, and each has their pros and cons.
Genshin simply has me hooked. I'm invested in the story, still love exploring and don't even mind the grind.
HSR from what I've seen has a great story, lots of fun little puns, great characters, animation and music. But I stopped playing it months ago because the combat and exploration just don't do it for me. The grind really just was one frustrating stretch of boredom.
WuWa has promise. Exploring and most combats are pretty fun. But the characters and story just don't grab me at all. I find myself just skipping and clicking past most conversations, many of which feel way too long.
be who you wanna be dont let anyone force you otherwise
You have really good points on things you comment on. It is really cool how much I agree with you when I watch your reactions after doing quests myself. Do what you want to do❤
I honestly love your content! Hsr for me personally is a game thats really hard to understand. I could never be as regular with it as i am with genshin since release. Same with wuwa, i want to play it, but rarely hsr.
Love you bran! Keep up the good work and take care of yourself!
Wuwas act 6 was a huge miss for me, none of the scenes felt impactful, since there was no real buildup, i hope the story and the game in general will improve so i don't feel like i'm playing worse genshin
Yeah, everyone kept hyping up Act 5 and 6 and it ended up being a huge letdown for me. The whole thing was messy and convoluted with terrible voiceover / voice direction work. I'm still playing the game because I want to like it, but if the story doesn't get better quickly then I won't be able to stay for long.
@@Hy-BridAbroad i like jinshis desing and the new 1.1 are, so i'll stick at least till then, but hope they really improve in that timaframe
Thank you for clearing this out, and yes people do sometimes forget that youtubers have their opinions too. Feel free to upload in your own pcae and contents that you enjoy. cheers.🥳
Bran, this is anny_annye, do whatever you like. People that really enjoy you will stay for you not because of the games. Your videos are amazing, your personality and how you marked everyone is so great. My english is not the best I'm sorry If its hard to understand, I am from brazil haha. however do what you like, don't make because of pression. me as one of your fans will stay here for you because I enjoy your content and you itself
Take care of yourself and your mental health
Stan branonline haha :D
I honestly don‘t enjoy WuWa and I found your channel back then when you started playing Genshin. I really like how exited you always are for the content that comes out and you are one of the few CC that also sees the good side of a patch and not only the negative.
People are hating these days just because and it‘s getting quite overwhelming and I only open twitter to see fanart.
This is my question that I've always wondered. Does the audience influence a content creators enjoyment of the game. Like I watch Bran for Bran. Thoreal Paris himself lol. Doesn't matter what game you play/enjoy. I'll be there.
For sure it can! Thank you
Bran I love to see your reactions to all Genshin/Honkai stuff (I'm just getting into WuWa too) and I always watch your playthrough of the main stories once I played them. It's a great way for me to recap and also to see another point of view of what's going on. I truly think it all only makes sense though if you yourself are enjoying the stories you're playing through. If Star Rail's story is just not clicking with you then there's no point to push yourself to enjoy it. Your time is precious so wanting to spend it on things you whole heartedly enjoy makes complete sense :) I think your plan to go forward with focus on Genshin and WuWa and having recaps of HSR is sound. In any case just create your content in the way you want to create it. Don't let the haters get to you. You're such force of positivity and being reasonable (even in an environment where people get invested emotionally and so opinions get spicy), please just keep doing what you're doing :)
Been here since the first day you played Genshin 🫡
I always appreciate your approach when it comes to opinions and how communicative you are with other people. It's really refreshing to see. As for what you should do - I think you should simply do what you think is right and see how it turns out for now. :)
Hmm, when you were discussing story quests for genshin on twitch stream you said you most likely will upload them to your second channel without much editing, so maybe you can do the same with star rail? Like just take the vod and upload it on youtube?
In my opinion, on a conversation and engagement (and what it should be) is at its peak when we talk back and forth about the things we both/all enjoy and mutually agree OR when we have a conversation about things we dont mutually agree while respecting and understanding that we can have different opinions on things
Ive come across some people who arent willing to understand my opinions and just try to be disrespectful, i felt much better to lower our ego and shut up rather than keep the conversation going which sometimes lead to straight up hate
I'm glad you're taking this positively and that my comment on the hsr video helped even slightly and I'm glad for this update.
What I wanna say though even if it's just streaming, the issue was that you weren't pacing yourself (as you said you were under pressure and you had to finish certain content forthe sake of other content which is 100% understandable) and that caused you to slightly not enjoy it. So what I'm suggesting is that even if it's just streaming, please pace yourself through the content of the games in general. You were getting almost the same exact comments live on stream as you were on the RUclips upload. So the problem wasn't RUclips vs streaming. It was the content itself.
So what I'm saying is, don't play HSR when you don't feel like it just because there's an update or people are rushing/spoiling you. Play when you feel like you miss it or just wanna try something different on a random day or smth. Like just chill with it whenever you like and whenever you have other content that you're more excited about play that until you feel excited about HSR enough and then come back and so on. It doesn't have to be regular or on a schedule.
Games are meant to be enjoyed and played not dreaded and planned. So just make the content that you're 100% happy creating. Your happiness and enjoyment affects us too. And I'm here to support you all the way, I'm here for Genshin mostly too so I'll hang around your lives as usual!
Thanks Bran for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do this!
I appreciate your candor in sharing where you are with all of this... At the end of the day you need to do what works for you, especially where mental health is concerned.
I feel like I'm in a directly opposite place... I have been burnt out HARD on Genshin pretty much since 4.0, haven't found Fontaine very inspiring... I LOVE a lot of the characters and WQs but the AQs have been slogs to get through, especially the 4.0 court cases and the running around in circles making widgets in Meropide...
Wuthering Waves has been a non-starter for me, I tried but due to a tendon/reflex issue I just am not built for the quick trigger parry mechanics that are involved in the combat.
But HSR is where my mind is constantly, I adored pretty much all of Penacony...
We all have our own tastes ofc :D
TBH I came about your content through Genshin, but I love everything you've done since I followed you regardless of what it is. I know it's a difficult thing to ignore especially when there's always that vocal minority, but keep on keeping on! For every negative Nancy there's always 100 or more folks that'll support you.
Take your time Bran! It's important to do the things you enjoy 😁😁 Always looking forward for your videos!
HSR probably will try to salvage luofu arc later, I've no idea what's new about genshin now, I can't play 3 grinding game at once, and I hope wuwa slow down on releasing new character.
I saved 60 pull with 15 in normal gacha still saving to guarantee tho after all if i keep saving might be a chance to e6 a character if i play long enough
Dont worry man, pull whatever you want, no pressure
Loufu story is terrible because Chinese government pushed Mihoyo to add the China planet. Thats why its hard to make a good story due to their propaganda.
I think they will come back to the usual 6 week release time schedule on Wuthering Waves because they had to bring the schedule early due to ZZZ being early so Kuro games would like to bring back without issue
@@Yewrenegade i think its because kuro wants to focus on optimalization first and not want to be bothered by banner (but not the event somehow, shout out to kuro devs they working extra hard), so thats why they got 18 days to optimalize the game, its my opinion doe CMIIW
i normally watch all the story u upload between star rail and genshin, but like u said, just upload what u enjoy.!
I was watching you when you were uploading demo reactions and i just came back to see what happened to you and i gotta say you had a humongous glow up damnnnn
Rlly appreciate this video! If uploading hsr story content has been more stressful than anything else then I fully support you dropping it (not that my opinion or other's opinion alone should force you to doing something you don't want) will be missing ur stuff for it but im sure most would rather see you play games you enjoy than not.
Have always appreciated your attention to the story with Genshin ever since you started as it's often overlooked by others, but it's the game's job to hook you in first, if it doesn't that's not on you and that's ok. Glad to see you branching out from genshin as well!! Im a genshin hoe so im not leaving for some time lol but I do think it's good to not narrow your options. Not every patch is gonna hit afterall.
tldr; you should feel free to play whatever games you want and drop whatever games you want.
How sad that many people can be so rude. Everyone has the right to an opinion but they also must respect the opinions of others. I support you all the way Bran. You are a fab content creator that got me into genshin a long time ago!!
Good on you.
I had to download Blocktube extension so I can still watch Genshin creators but block channels like Tectone & Gachasmack who wont stop drama-baiting. RUclips is so much better now
Kinda sad youre not gonna be posting the story playthroughs on your Channel anymore, guess I'm gonna go see if you have a Vod channel or tune in to the streams. I really liked how honest your opinion felt towards the story of HSR despite it differing from my own occasionally and looking forward to seeing your wuwa content.
Idk if you're reading this, but do what you want. And the things that make you happy. Playing multiple games is too much to focus on, plus there's lots of irl things to do too and have life to focus on and not 24/7 playing games. Taking a break for a while also a good thing. So play at your own pace. If it was too much, drop some things down and do the things that you can carry, and not forcing yourself. Hate and negative comments are always there, but instead of leaving they still stick around to talk more shit. Smh. So ignore all those comments and better not to read them at all.
Hi! Personally i follow only genshin content mostly because it's the only game i can play with a certain perseverance. Also thanks for your transparency, peace
I remember watching you when you was like 2 or 3k subs reacting and playing Genshin/HSR and now your channel has grown big! Being a CC (especially big one) must not be easy at all, so do what you think is most suitable for you! I'll support you all the way :>
I feel a lot of people struggle with posting Honkai Starrail in general and most the video i see are fighting videos, which tbh most of the content in hsr is fighting and as you post the story of hsr ofc the very opinionated people will respond and fight back. I believe for context creators is hard to post hsr as what get the most veiws( haven't done research on this, just what shiws up in MY recommended) is pulling and moc videos. I believe playing hsr for YOUR enjoyment is the best option especially if you felt pressured to finish the story. I trust your decisions and respect them as you should do what makes you happy! Quick question will you post shorts of "funny" moments for hsr or just no hsr content at all?
@BranOnline - you're lovely. your videos have made my enjoyment of these games grow. I love them more because of you. Please do whats right by you! Personally I trust your judgement!
I think it’s fine to just focus on what you like. This is the year of Wuwa and if you are enjoying it then play it! After firefly hsr gonna slow down, nothing wrong w taking a break personally im not playing hsr or genshin rn its overwhelming lol. Might come back later
Awe, I just finished watching your Natlan journey and was looking for your honkai stuff and trying to figure out where it went. This make sense... I need to find your twitch now...
I just hope you upload the content that you enjoy❤
We love you Bran!! ❤❤You should play what you love... and we'll always support you. Thank you for being so honest with your audience, especially from what we saw in the 2.2 Honkai Star Rail Video. This feels like a protective community really sheltered from all the controversies and drama, and you keep it 100% real and positive. Just play what you find enjoyable for yourself and we'll enjoy it too!
Glad to still hear you staying with genshin. I sooo wish i had your interest in WuWa. i have tried the game like a dozen times but i cant find anything that keeps me interested. I keep hearing creators and people praising the combat so much but when i play it, it feels dull, 1d and lifeless, which makes me feel like im playing it wrong or something. Im sure its nothing to that level but i can understand if some of those feelings are for you in HSR. As it stands it will be fun to watch your content for genshin~
Honestly I was just excited to see ur reaction on the 2.2 story and albeit I was kinda sad that you didnt enjoy it as much as everyone did but hey thats your own opinion. Id love to see HSR content but if twitch is the way to get it then twitch I go. Hope you to keep playing what you find fun and enjoyable, best of luck Bran!!
I feel you man, even as a non content creator, it does feel horrible to get bombarded with hate comments for just sharing your opinion. Btw you're the second CC that I watch that is "quitting" (I know it isnt really quitting) HSR and I hope it doesnt become a trend lol.
Moga?
@@sanyogitanegi3881 yeah.
Im actually so happy to hear this. I was getting worried you and some others were getting overwhelmed. The pressure to constantly react to something doesnt help either. Looking forward to whatever you do next!
I still think you're the best, even though there's a language barrier for me, you're the first one I started watching on genshin. therefore, I will be glad to see any layout and content
We'll, I subscribed for the Genshin content. But you hooked me to Wuthering Waves. Genshin plus Wuthering Waves is a very nice thing for me as I love both games. The criticisms are valid and I'm okay with you complaining things about games coz I know I'll have the same problem as you when I reach those part of both games.
Would having a VOD channel be fine? I still enjoy watching your playthroughs of HSR but viewing past broadcasts on Twitch isn't the best based on my experience.
I've contemplated vod channels before but being completely transparent here, it's a lot of storage space and time to download/upload vods etc. and something I just don't know if I'd want to commit to right now. And I already have 2 editors and a thumbnail editor so bringing someone else on rn isn't really an option. I did post a pinned comment re: star rail stuff
There is absolutely nothing wrong with focusing more on content you enjoy simply because you enjoy it and I'm glad you are taking the time to find that balance. Just means we are going to have nothing but banger videos coming out. Enjoy yourself
I support your decisions about content and i also have a nice fact to share with you:
Sometimes I feel like not liking particular story quest or devs stream, but then, if in your video you sincerely enjoy said quest or stream, i actually start seeing some positive moments in it.
And i want to say thank you for that :>
Thanks for sharing!
I love your content
Don't we all?
Anyone saying your opinion is wrong really misses what an opinion is. But respectful discourse is important. You should do what is fun for you, watching you have fun is great. I do also appreciate honest takes that I may not share, but that’s me 😁
It's nothing wrong with having fun, glad you're still here and upload awesome content.
i noticed the difference between your genshin and HSR reaction. and its totally fine, just do what you enjoy. for me personally, the penacony story is one of the best piece of story in any Rpg i've played. and i dont even have the full context of previous honkai games. but i also enjoy genshin story just as much, and its just getting better and better. as for Wuwa, its hit and miss for me story wise partly because of the bugs that actually lessen my enjoyment to the story. but hey its still 1.0, we'll see what the devs cookin. why do i need to choose 1 when i can like all of them? right?
Bran this video made me feel all comfy and soft in my heart. Thanks for the upload 💙
I felt the same about Penacony quest Bran! I returned to the game after a few months and it was required to finish the story to play the event. So I speedran the whole thing from 2.0 and it was SO LONG. Everyone talked like a textbook and the pacing felt awful. "Are you ready to fight the boss? Well it's time for a 20 minute story first!" Cutscenes were great though. That was just my experience anyway.
Next update hsr will have quickstart option, so you don't need to do story that long(maybe on some part still need story)
Thank you for the transparency Bran, I appreciate an update video like this a lot regarding your thoughts on how to move forward with your content. I just want to say that you're my favorite content creator and I always look forward to your videos (or lives if I happen to catch you live). I play and love all three games and usually wait for your reactions to their stories as soon as I finish them myself. While my focuses are on HSR and Wuthering Waves, that's even better because it means I can watch and enjoy Genshin story or events by watching your channels instead. Yeah it sucks that our preference isn't the same since I can't do the same with HSR but that's just life, everyone's preferences on these games are different and that's okay.
So yeah, I think it's a good idea to give your account to someone for building characters and just play HSR in your own time whenever you feel like it. Or reacting to HSR cutscenes as you've mentioned, is a pretty good idea as well. In any case, I'll be following and appreciating your content as usual!
Thanks Bran for being honest, much better to be transparent than force yourself to do something because you feel the need to and not have fun.
Honestly, as much as people hyped and loved the Penacony story, in my opinion, I think the 2.2 was a bit lackluster.
Maybe it's because of people over hyping this planet too much, but for me aventurine's part was too long, the fake ending with sunday was so abrupt then it throws you again into so much yapping before the final act, and all the hype is gone even though the sunday boss fight was really cool.
"2.2 was a bit lackluster" "but for me aventurine's part was too long"
Bro What... You say 2.2 was bit lackluster and immediately mention something that isn't even 2.2
@@Blackout_ I just mentioned 2.2 but before I said the aventurine part, I was talking about this planet and penacony story. Thats my fault bad sentence structure lol but If you want me to say it, yes, including 2.1, it was longer than it should be.
You arent wrong honestly, if 2.2 was split into two it would be an amazing ending imo. Its still great but by hour 11 or 12 I was half waiting to be done.
I do hope you will still cover hsr even if you do it on your own way, I love seeing your story playthroughs.
Honestly, until a while ago, I thought you were one of those "genshin good boys" and never expected you to be so transparent. Love to see it.
You are not the only one, having to make a decision regarding which games you play and which ones you have to put on the bench. I myself dropped genshin for a similar reason when wuwa came out. Although I was getting bored of it regardless, because from the start, I enjoyed building and using characters more than anything else. And eventually I realized that's not what the game is actually about. Also, after experiencing combat AND movement in wuwa I just can't go back lol.
I still enjoy Star Rail because I feel like it focuses a bit more on the combat related content which makes building new characters very fun. It's also very time efficient. You can do your dailies in like 5 min. on your phone if you want.
Star rail has powercreep but you guys keep denying it, why is that?? Its weird you dont practice what you preach
@@mangshu21 What does that have to do anything with what I said? I brought no hate to either game, and just simply expressed my opinion. I never even mentioned power creep. Why are you trying to make a problem out of nothing?
That's a totally valid point. I remember there's that saying, "No shoe fits all and the shoes that do fit will be worn for years."
To be completely honest, when I pick CC to watch (and I watch CC rarely, because there's only so much time I have anyway), I always just prefer when the creator - whoever they may be - feel like their not stressed and just playing what they want, and that's completely true here.
Live and let live, and take care of your mental health. And for the viewers, they'll adapt.
I think the decision with HSR is entirely fair and valid. The HSR community can be something else if you don't 100% love every minute of whatever new content is out and that's a lot to constantly deal with - however that's a different conversation to have.
I love your Genshin content on the whole, I'm not particularly interested in WuWa - but I wish you all the luck with WuWa content and I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Try saying something bad against Genshin and you'll get the same treatment. There is a reason Tectone exists
@@So_Viet8032Both are same peoples what do you expect? But Imma keep it a buck here Star Rail Community have shown it more
It's the same for every community. Try to talk online about anything negative concerning Genshin, and multiple people will show up to threaten you like they are defending their lives. It's a curse of a big community, unfortunately. Content creators just have it worse because they cannot hide in the comments but really put their faces out there
@@So_Viet8032 Tectone exists because people love drama, farming and outrage. He bounces from wherever he can get content. I have blocked him and a multitude of his little fanbase because I refuse to interact with them.
@@sara_s1737 Oh for sure. I'm far from saying that the Genshin community is well-behaved or in anyway less toxic. I've just recently had some really "interesting" takes from people concerning Penacony/2.2 in particular that are.... something else. I was responding to the HSR part of the video because that's the content that's being mostly affected by the toxicity on Bran's 2.2 video.
If it seemed like I was absolving the Genshin community of wrong doing - my apologies because that's so far from the truth.
the reason I subs to your channel is because you're the only youtuber I really enjoy rewatching your Genshin Quest and your opinion. Please take care of your health bro.
